|Tuface and Tonto
what the ....?
I missed o!!!!
I didn't say anything o! LOL...
na dem sabi!
Linda,am sure you meant 'SIMULATE' not STIMULATE...they're two different words.
this girl has been painted with the harlot brush one too many times in the news and now she goes on ahead and give the tabloids more fodder, abi? she is either very smart or very stupid, time alone will tell.
Na wa oo. Lol
According to some ardent Nollywood followers, Tonto seems to be doing much these days ......but here's the 1 million naira question, is it a bad thing or a good thing for her, career wise?
Is there such a thing as doing 2 much in d entertainment business?
I'm guessing it was for the song Implication?! whichever one sha, I for like watch! Atleast I know I can handle Tonto being a sex kitten than Mercy Johnson who makes being sexy look so damn dirty! Like bad kinda dirty
Hoping sum1 uploads on youtube! loll
So trey songz mentality is slowly coming into naija??? hun.. gud for them
she is just destroying herself and her career. the 2face thing is a joke but wen u already have a negative image, why do something like that again? i personally don't like her. tonto will be forgotten in a few years time...even now she is not an a-lister...it's just the same filmmakers that keep using her and some use her just because marketers think she sells movies. tonto's fans r usually on the same level as her IMHO.
tonto and 2face are birds of the same feather...they have a few things in common (they love sex, and they love smoking pot). @dith...tonto and mercy make sexy look dirty..the only difference is that mercy is a butterface and tonto is not as ugly as her.
this is something. i would have been there but too bad i don't reside in Lagos anyhow, i pray its on YouTube.
by the way...is Tonto trying to be the new "bad" girl in the Nigerian entertainment industry?
Chei!!! Chineke!! Na wa oo
@ENTERTAINMENTOB...is it just Tinto that has been painted the "harlot" what about the man whore Tuface?? with how many countless women he's "entertained" is it even safe to kiss him she should go get herself checked...
@ Kevin Obosi, Mr. Cambridge, am sure Linda uses the dictionary, and am definitely sure stimulating is the word she want to use, why cant u just make ur comment and and leave the page?
Please which of his songs is this sexual that this "skit" made sense? What happened to good old singing and dancing to entertain people? Now he wants to teach us how he made all his babies?
@ Dith: LOL that was sooo funny! btw i heard Mercy was in Germany for a skin wash....
Chei, this country is so so backward. Can't we get entertained again? Tonto u rock jare! Let all the bad belle bitches go to hell with the childish and trashy talks.Tonto and tuface's performance was the highpoint of that show!
And the unknown bastards calling actresses dirty and trashy should know they are NONENTITIES and they will forever be of less importance to the society forever and ever . Amen!!!!!!!!!!! Tonto u rock mehnn.
@TS am sure you have no STRONG grasp of the lanaguge-ENGLISH, so here's some help for you...
SIMULATE: To cause or make something appear real (in the case of 2face and Tonto)
STIMULATE:To make more alert or active.
If you need further help pls feel free to buzz me on 00-44-7961156447.
lol @kevin...why are u always so aggressive? ok, i meant simulate...thanks darling for the correction.
@P of S,i agree with you my dear.I'm always shocked and dissappointed at the way a lot of Nigerians put down their fellow nigerians,its really a shame.Whether this people leave a good or bad life, it is not in our place to judge them(He who is without sin,should cast the first stone.I mean a woman calling her fellow woman ugly,dirty and trashy,its just hard to take in.The truth is these people are up there,so no matter what others say,they will continue to be there,so deal with it.
Na so e dey start. She wan add to the number of kids wey don dey before. No leles.
But Come ooo, is it that a bunch of fucking illiterates read this blog or sumtn? WTF is d problem?
No comprehende ingles? or were u just born a fucking dunce? Which one?
Yes I am talkin 2 PMS or wateva that thing was.
Ur such a somebody with that name by d way.
Let me tell u something ehh I am not linda or one of these bloggers u will chat shit 2 anyhow. I will fucking chew ur face off with words alone so don't u dare piss me off!
I understand u look up 2 Mercy Johnson & she is ur role model & stuff.
& u aspire 2 be just like her when u grow up but u see I hv every right 2 dislike her acting & bacterias like u need 2 understand that.
On a good day, I would hv ignored ur ass but guess what? 2day is not one!
Jst incase u had trouble understanding me d 1st tym, I said Mercy Johnson's ACTING as a sex kitten is dirty & not her herself! I do not like it, as a matter of fact, I HATE it. Her & many r d reason I no longer watch Nollywood movies.... but u see, pple like u are not only dirty, but y'all make every bit of my bile rise!
Now if u for 1sec think I will respond 2 u or ur likes again after this, then ima need u 2 do a lil sumtn 4 me & d rest of d sane pple in d world.
Click on dat x u see on ur right side, yes ewu that one, get on an okada & go jump off 3rd mainland bridge....HEAD first!
See she lives up to her name TOTO DICK!
@LI, Ha Ha Ha, how can you say am aggressive, now am vexed!!!, am not in anyway, am one of those few gentlemen left on this planet...Not after the advice you gave me when I was feeling so low a year ago, and did,nt apreciate what i had..
no hard feelings sweet baby...we all make 'MISKATES'or call it 'Poetic licence'
I see Tonto's PR team have arrived. Una welcome o. Feel free to insult everyone who doesn't agree with you. cc@ p os/of s.
I don't know why a country is considered backwards simply because the citizens don't agree with the sex crazed lifestyle of the west.
In my opinion, there was actually no point for the skit, and it's not only in Nigeria that this would attract complaints.
Was there an age limit for the concert Linda? I could see some little kids seated there, totally inappropriate. If this was Yankee so human rights group would have started hala-ing. lol
@Kevin thanks for the English lesson. (no sarcasm intended). I had been using Stimulated all this while.
Anyhow sha seems like it was quite entertaining, and forgive nay gbagauns in this post. I type really fast.
In other news, Tonto Dike is reported to be six months pregnant. The implication of a bump and grind session with tu baba.
All this foolishness that she is doing, she would regret it later in live. Rubbish!!!
hey linda, ur blog is really cool. am loving it.am new into blogging. I hope to be like u someday
nawah oh!! i cant believe people that have access to the internet think so stupidly. it was a show and they are both entertainers. their job was and is to entertain the public. if you don't like it don't watch it. even i don't understand why any normal thinking person would say she's ruining her life. why don't we call jessica alba a harlot as well for some of her movie roles, or all the victoria secret models harlots? i can imagine if we had lingerie models in Nigeria they would have killed some of them by now with the many name callings.
this is outrageous...tonto has no moral compass. it is amazing to try and figure what drives her to self destruct so much!!....she is not a little girl and should know better..anywhere there is bad news she is there!!!.she is completely out of control and is borderline maniacal and a time bomb waiting to explode...as for tuface trying so hard to resurrect a dead career...has he finished taking care of all his baby mamas and kids...tuface is acting like sex is a new thing..he is not the first to it, but apparently is losing his mind....egbe!!! even if i was in lagos i wont waste my money to see such cheap popularity shows...
ok I am reading my comment and I am cringing! lol
Let's jst say I was in a very pissy mood when I got that spewed garbage in my email, plus d scorching heat in LA didnt help matters either.
This right here is a clear example of y I often refrain from commenting on blogs, especially Nigerian blogs!
People always feel so sharp at d mouth & can never make a statement w/o resulting to cheap insults!
I mean are u Mercy Johnson? As far as I am concerned she and she alone is d only one in d position 2hv responded to me!
So who now gave aunty oni PMS d right 2 come & call her generation a nobody?
Infact I am getting pissed all over again!
So I will just exit from this post in peace!
My apolgogies to u Linda and most importantly to myself for all that cursing on d www.
*sprinkles holy water*
*chunks up deuces*
So when Beyonce does it with some actor in an award show it's sexy and when it is a nigerian actress it becomes dirty, skanky and she should be called all sorts of things?
Please! People grow up that is why it is called acting... I wish i was there! Tonto Do your thang!
@NINA you must be living in a dead dungeon to even start talking about morals here. it was a show. do u mean that actors that do nude roles lack "moral compass" i'm sure you would pay good money to watch a beyonce performance. smh at all the ignorant nigerians out there who would gladly watch foreigners do things they would detest their people for doing
OH i just hate that binch tonto....its almost my turn to get that man-whore err sexy man and then she goes all lady gaga drama queen on him...sheesh i can just slap her till the lords coming
@ ppl comparing nigerian celebrities to celebrities in the "west"...please there is a huge difference. it is not a new thing in the "west" in nigeria we don't have ppl doing things like beyonce, jessica alba, victoria secret,etc that's why it's a huge deal. and if any of u actually keep up with nigerian movies then u wud know that this is the last thing tonto dikeh would want to associate herself with cuz she is already blacklisted in the minds of most nigerian viewrs and her fellow colleagues..yes it's a show...it's fun but did 2face really need to do that skit? was it appropriate? those r a few questions to ask.

its entertainment...people need to take a chill pill really and slip into a coma
@ dith, lol u r silly. I don't blame u, the heat in LA recently is no joke. Jeez, i feel like I got stranded in the desert or smth.
Anyway, people like P of S are meant to be ignored like they don't exist. Obviously, she/he/it
hasmajor issues lke not totally up there). P of S go get help and don't bring ur problems here.
You gotta love Nigerians sometimes.
@ Kevin Obosi, the kind of person to have around when you have papers due but your brain is not cooperating with you, that's me right now. Kevin, what's your number...hehehe
Dith@ 8.30pm I'm in the los angeles area too...the heat has been unbearable...i have probably come across u and didnt know...
Read all comments...wondered why we 9jas can't be ORIGINAL OR CREATIVE without being copycats?...When SOME people don't agree to the 'westernized' way of life, they would be called backward or unexposed! So one would go & put his/her hand in fire because the westerners are doing it? Don't we have the RIGHT to know what is good or bad? Musicians in the 70's -90's knew their 'salt' & doled out good songs which are EVERGREEN /CLASSIC unlike this generation who can't sing to save their life but patch it up with 'sex innuendo's' because they know SEX sells BIG -TIME!. We have lost our 'birth-right' as a country because we want to imbibe the westerner culture! if other celebrities in abroad did it nko?...should we join them to jump over the bridge?...LET THE MUSICIANS PUT THEIR ACTS TOGETHER & WORK HARD IN THE STUDIO TO BRING OUT EVERGREEN SONGS THAN THIS RUBBISH WE SEE IN MUSICAL VIDEOS NOWADAYS...& we are crying about the increase of rapist & pedophiles in our society?.
Nollywood very own Karrine SUperhead Steffans- She FCKED her WAY TO THE TOP, AND GOING TO CONTINE TO FCK HER WAY UP TO GET ALL THE ROLES SHE WANTS.
errbody done did her.
i hear her head game is on point though and she swallows
Love Tuface..he should come to Uganda some time for a concert am sure he would be great.
check out my Blog to know what happens in Uganda
This is directed at the poster Doll
In our society, these things are not part of our culture however it is slowly seeping into our society due to our accessibility to cable/American shows but it is a hard fit. In light of the type of music that Tuface even sings, this simulated sexual encounter bares no reflection. This was put up for attention sake instead of his people coming up with other creative ways to make the show more exciting so that he is just not standing there all night singing...hell, I would rather he had brought a young lady center stage and serenaded her than this badly conceived, badly choreographed piece of crapola!
We are copying a lot of crap from the western world, I was at a Nigerian comedy show and some comedians came out there cursing with people's impressionable young ones in the audience. This was billed as a family show!!! Are you fking kidding me?
We can be cool and still maintain ourself in dignity, please!
I watched a programs where an Indian actor was asked why they don't take the romance scenes in their movie from kiss to full on physical encounters, he stated that it was not part of their culture, it was not accepted and that the kiss implies that there is more to come which create a mystery that the audience can use their imagination to explore. People know what happens after the bed room door closes, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ALL SPELLED OUT!
Listen, there are certain types of performers one expects certain things from because that is what they've done from time immemorial, if I go to see a Prince show, I expect a certain elevated sexuality because his songs are very sexually charged and given the society in which it was created, the USA, such behaviors are part of the society. People rail against it here as well! For
2face to go from classically, lyrically beautiful, romantic "African Queen" to raunch, please that's a lot to swallow.
Porn is entertainment, why don't you go sit and watch it with your husband and children or if you don't have those, your mother and father? Abi, it is entertainment? We don't want to see backward, why don't we open peep shows all over Naija?
Let's stop making excuses for lack of imagination and mediocrity!
Totally agree with your anonymous 2.54pm [29] & 2.52p.m [30].
We complain the whites don't have respect for we blacks abi?
Why should they when we follow them like ZOMBIE!.....
Why don't we copy their intellectual skills & development huh?
Entertainment ko? entertainment ni?
Am yet to see INDIANS behave like that..afterall, are they not more developed than us especially in entertainment?.
@ Dith.. DICK or whatever u fucking call ur name....go get married or fucking become a baby mama and stop pouring out ur frustration on people. Abeg go suck 2face's dith sorry dick! You unknown BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!
is there anyway i can see it on youtube? Tuface is sexy!!!
@ P of S, I read ur comment and all i can do is smh and hahahaha...dis na were to anoda level o.
It's funny bcos it's like u are referring to yourself. Aren't u d one going crazy bcos someone mentioned smth about your hero(mercy johnson).
Na wa o, linda is it possible to start blocking "Weres" aka as "lunatic people" from commenting bcos it's not doing anybody any good.
the buzz im getting from people who attended the show is unbelievable. Im pissed I missed it.it was scripted from top to bottom and no akward gaps unlike the usual "sing on my cd... artiste gap comedian gap artiste gap dance gap comedian etc shows around.
I also hear at the end all the naija artistes (DBanj et al) rushed the stage and carried 2baba on his shoulders! Linda why didnt you gimme that pic?
As for all the moral brouhaha over these pics? abeg make i hear word jor. Nigerians kill me with the whole fake my culture crap. aristos, kidnapping, child marriage, sugar daddies. what exactly is the culture? we love raunch and sex like no other. and Tuface doesnt only sing romantic songs like african queen. Have you listened to the lyrics of I sing?
Well done 2face. Well done Now Muzik. I hear all event managers for the big brands were there and are currently rethinking thier tired ass templates of imillion artistses per show singing 10 mins each over cds with a couple of dancers and a comedian. Thanks :-)
Im amazed people can judge from still pictures that choreography was bad! You guys crack me up really LOL
It was a dope show. Period. Well concieved, choreographed, excellent sound, lighting, venue, on point vocals, energy.
Strange that people that werent there can tell it was awful from a few pictures.
All this furore over shadows behind a screen? For real? It aint that bad.
"Nigerians kill me with the whole fake my culture crap. aristos, kidnapping, child marriage, sugar daddies. what exactly is the culture? we love raunch and sex like no other. and Tuface doesnt only sing romantic songs like african queen. Have you listened to the lyrics of I sing?"
@ Pam TRUE TALK!!! Most of these people here prostesting are hypocrites! Go and have real indignation over the deeprooted things that are really affecting your people. you are screaming over a music show. KMT
I guess some things need to be set straight concerning the 2Face show. First I'll blame Linda for picking @ things she felt was wrong with the show rather than talking about the high point of the show. Surprisingly most of the people that has been on your page can't say much about who and who were around and how the show went. Once again I'm disappointed.
Linda corrected her use of words by saying that she meant 'Simulation' and not 'Stimulation', therefore we should be able to understand the difference. As much as I've no problem with 2Face/Tonto display, if I were to be the organizer, I would have let that out of the show putting in mind the 'myopic' nature of our views of what a show is.
I was at the show but I had to leave about mid-night. The show witnessed an incredible turn-out and if I may say the sound quality we all experienced @ the show can only be compared to the what we use to have during Benson and Edges Golden Tones of those days. And the fact that the guy sang basically on a live beat made my day for me. He started with 'Free' (He came out in chains) and proceeded to 'One Love'. From that point, there was no stopping! I'm sure 2Face would have felt a lot of goose pimples over him when he sang 'ONLY ME', the Expo hall was turned upside down.
As for who and who made it to the event, since our 'pagers' can't assist with that, let me help out. RMD + Jumobi (his wife), Ruth Benemesia (former news caster with NTA, not sure if I got her name right), Ben Bruce, Mo'Hits crew- Don Jazzy, D'Banj, Wande Coal and Prince, 9ice, Tony Tetuila, Tiwa Salvage (Sang the opening National Anthem), Omawumi, Waje, Timi Dakolo, Jimmy Jatt, Freeze, MAI, Yaw, Koffi, Kaffi, Gbenga Adeyinka,Joke Silva, Princess, Sauce Kid, SolidStar, MI, Banky W (A Co-Host with MI), Stella Damasus, Prime Time Crew (ID,KSB,Essence,Jaywon and Femi Adeyinka), Edi Lawani, Baba Dee, Olu Maintain, Terry G, Teju BabyFace,Ice Prince…….. the list is endless( these were the ones I saw before I went to my position to enjoy the show) and I've a lot of shots from the red carpet too. If you want to see some, I can post some if permitted.
I guess kudos should be given to Now Music , Flytyme Promotions and co for a job PROPERLY DONE. The show should be used as a yard stick by other show organizers, things like will definitely bring us out for their shows. And as for 2Face, I guess God has favoured him and he his enjoying the favour. Not many people get away with all he did, more powers to your elbows!
@felyxx...i picked on things that were wrong with the show? sweetheart, where did u see that? tuface idibia's show is by far the best concert i've attended in Naija and i made that comment in the previous post, so what are u on about?
i personally enjoyed tonto and tuface on stage, i thought they gave a great performance. But what others think is their opinion...so once again, what are u on about?
did u see my previous post about this show?
it'll ass much easier to pull a stunt like this in hollywood cos it definetely pays> nollywood offers almost nothin so tonto stop playin the celibrity and shed some weight>do stuff like this only if it's worth
the money biiitch.
I have been waiting to see someone use the word HYPOCRISY ... most people on here complaining about that performance will gladly watch beyonce,Jessica ALBA, Angelina Jolie do this in their closest.. moreover its mere acting .. nothing more so please stop bringing people down cos they give everything to their profession... we all watch Titanic and no one criticized this movie , Glamor girls was an old movie and shits went down in it with the likes of Liz Benson .. Please we should learn to turn of our Hypocrisy In this nation ... Stop hating on people.. same ppl criticizing here are the ones cheating on their wives ... isnt that Hypocrisy . lol.. just like the Americans calling Tiger Woods actions of cheating as Immorality yet, they are upholding the law of Homosexuality .. whats more immoral ... abeg make una stop fronting jor .... that show was 10/10 ..shikena
oh pls give d girl a break,i really don't see what she has done wrong its all for entertainment,if it was trey songs or ursher we go watch am so tey our eyes go pop out most of us will even buy d DVD,if we can copy their music,dressing,hair,dance,accent,slangs and all that,we should learn to accept this,NIAJA wake up he wold has changed and moved on. after all people paid a lot for this show and tubaba gave them their money's worth,i wish i was there,i hope the next time i visit naija i go attend a show like this,as for tonto keep doing you thing,nawa for my people abeg leave them ojere hissssssssss

@ Linda, Kevin & TS, Simulate and stimulate could work in this situation. It can be either a simulating act or a stimulating one..You can simulate an action or stimulate people by your action.My instincts tell me that Linda had to admit meaning simulation just to lay dead the argument. Either way, I'm not teaching but saying....lol
dis is an act for cryin out loud.wat dnt u guys get?d a or d ct?na wa o naija mentality.u guys will luv n cheer foreigners if dey did dis bt appluade yo pple na war!make una sha take am easy!!!
What do you think concerning adding some more illustrations? I'm not trying to offend anyone, site is really nice. Just according to the scientists people acquire info much more efficient when there are certain helpful pictures.

Olympic Port Details
Nestled between Barceloneta and Icaria beach, this area is a vibrant entertainment district beside the Mediterranean coast. You are within walking distance of the beach and many clubs, casinos, shops and restaurants. Having undergone refurbishment for the 1992 Olympic Games, the Olympic Port was once a dreary industrial area, but is now the most modern section of Barcelona and caters to locals and vacationers looking for some lively fun.
In the Olympic Port area you will find Vila Olímpica, Barcelons Olympic Village, originally built to accommodate 15,000 athletes. Today it is a complex of hotel rooms, offices, shops and restaurants. The Olympic Village is an integral component of the entertainment district on Port Olympic. Within walking distance of the Olympic Village is Platja de Bogatell beach in Barceloneta. Those who enjoy outdoor sports can surf and swim but many just lay on the beautiful golden colored sand.

How to Win the Nobel Prize: An Unexpected Life in Science. J. Michael Bishop. xvi + 271 pp. Harvard University Press, 2003. $27.95.
According to J. Michael Bishop, science is widely misunderstood, and this poses a threat to its future. If only scientists were better communicators; if only they would acknowledge the legitimate concerns of the public about their enterprise; and if only scientific efforts to communicate clearly were not muddied by ill-informed critics—then, in his view, the outlook for science might be rosier. He was thus led to write this curious book, How to Win the Nobel Prize: part autobiography, part history of science and part intervention in current debates about science. Its aims are to inspire (future) scientists, to educate the public about science and to combat science's critics. Bishop has some good points to make, but this volume sends out contradictory messages.
The book consists of five loosely connected essays in which Bishop uses his life and his intellectual interests as springboards for reflection on science, the motivations of scientists and the importance of politics to science's future. The first chapter begins on the day that Bishop heard that he and Harold Varmus had been awarded a Nobel Prize for their discovery of the cellular origins of retroviral oncogenes. Bishop recounts this story to argue from his own experience that scientists do not do science for rewards such as the Nobel. The rewards should come—as they did for Bishop—as a surprise. Yet the narrative structure of this chapter could be read to work against this premise. With its detailed description of the excitement that followed the announcement of Bishop's own award, and with its history of the origins of the Nobel, the essay holds out the promise of glittering prizes as an incentive for achievement, and so undermines its own conclusion—that science should be done primarily to satisfy intellectual curiosity.
Born in 1936, the son of a Lutheran minister, Bishop grew up in rural Pennsylvania. In 1957, he entered Harvard Medical School, where vague plans for a career in teaching gave way to a life in laboratory research, eventually in molecular biology. After brief stints at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and in Hamburg, Germany, he moved in 1968 to San Francisco, where he undertook his pathbreaking work with Varmus, before merging a career in research and teaching with one in university administration. He became chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco, in 1998. Bishop traces these events in the second chapter of the book, interspersing the narrative with homespun advice to young scientists based on his own experiences. "Cultivate colleagues," he counsels; "ignore convention," "look for new vistas," "let . . . students follow their own noses," "[remember that] frenzy is the enemy of reflection," and "be prepared to take risks." This last piece of advice is a reference to his failure to pursue the scientific problems that led David Baltimore and Howard Temin to the discovery of reverse transcriptase.
Bishop is clearly concerned about the extent to which the rewards of science may corrupt the field; but he is also worried about the extent to which scientists ignore the political reality of science's dependence on public support, and the genuine anxieties that ordinary men and women have about scientific activities. Fearful of outside control, he argues against greater political influence over science, while he simultaneously urges his fellow scientists to engage with their political masters.
For him the problem is that scientists are very poor at talking to those outside their field. In his view, it is essential that scientists learn to communicate with politicians and the public if they are to enlist their support, and that they listen to and engage with public concerns about science. Ever ready with advice, he suggests that scientists hire lobbyists, and that they learn that what persuades a fellow scientist may not persuade a politician or the public.
Two chapters on the history of the research fields with which Bishop has been most closely associated—infectious diseases and cancer—give him an opportunity to put his concerns about science communication to practical effect. These histories can be read both as inspirational tracts and as popular science texts. They include stories of those whom Bishop calls "heroes," who paved the way to current scientific understandings of these subjects; cautionary tales about those who deviated from the path; and explanations of current scientific understandings of infectious diseases and cancer. Thus these chapters seek to educate, to motivate and to chronicle progress—and so, Bishop hopes, to strengthen support for science. The urgency behind his efforts is outlined in the final chapter, in which he sets out his positions on a range of sometimes contentious issues including the science wars, science education, research on stem cells, and growing public distrust of science.
How to Win the Nobel Prize can be read as an autobiography, an advice manual, an inspirational treatise and a contribution to public science education. It advocates a vision of science as a means to social progress, built on values of honesty, truthfulness, disinterestedness and intellectual passion. Bishop argues that scientists should actively communicate and engage with the outside world they seek to improve. Few would dispute the need for scientists to act in these ways. But communication and engagement are not the same as persuasion. I wonder whether the book will achieve its goal of assuaging the public disquiet that, Bishop fears, threatens science's future.—David Cantor, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland

Video: Mythbusters on Mooner-conspiracies; Update: Surprise — Whoopi's a conspiracy theorist
posted at 3:15 pm on July 20, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Think of the Moon-landing hoax conspiracy theorists as the original Truthers, 32 years before 9/11. No matter how much scientific evidence one supplies, no matter how many times the debunkers debunk, they will insist that the entire space program took place on a sound stage in Hollywood. CNN interviews the hosts of Mythbusters, who have supplied their own efforts in what will almost certainly be a futile effort to put an end to the Mooners:
Mythbusters has a sneak peek of their Mooner episode on their website. It airs tonight at 9 pm ET. I look forward to seeing it, although one of the best debunkings of the panoply of Mooner lunacy (pun intended) came eight years ago at Bad Astronomy. Fox had aired a prime-time special in February 2001 allowing the nutcases to spin their theories, including the particularly loathesome allegation that NASA killed Gus Grissom, Roger Chafee, and Ed White in the Apollo I fire because Grissom was going to spill the beans on the conspiracy. Phil Plait rips Fox for airing the episode and points out all of the scientific and logical flaws in the arguments presented.
As the two Mythbusters point out, believing in this theory would require that everyone in the program lied about it, continues to lie about it, and that the pictures taken of the lunar surface to this day are faked by an entire new generation of scientists and engineers. It besmirches the honor of thousands of people who worked to get these men to the Moon, as well as those who died in that journey like Grissom, Chafee, and White.
Buzz Aldrin got confronted by a Mooner not long ago, and while we at Hot Air do not condone violence in debates, suffice it to say that Aldrin will never go hungry or thirsty in the Twin Cities as long as I'm here:
Update (AP): As if to prove Ed's point about the relationship between lunar conspiracy theorists and Truthers, here's how the idiot who replaced Rosie O'Donnell on "The View" celebrated Apollo 11's anniversary.

Montabella's Ball aims to stay on the volleyball court
BLANCHARD — The three sports seasons of the previous school year were hard on Montabella's Allie Ball.
That's because she was injured in every season, and was unable to finish any of them.
Ball feels like she's healthy now, although she is playing volleyball this year with a sprained ankle.
Last year "wasn't fun at all," Ball said.
"I hated it," she said. "I'd go to practices and sit there and ice my knee because I hurt my knee and ankle last year. I cried a lot. It's hard not to finish a season."
In volleyball season last year, Ball broke her wrist. She now tapes her wrist before playing.
When the winter basketball season came around, she had a knee injury that sidelined her for the season. In softball this past spring she contracted mononucleosis.
Ball said she's not doing anything different to try to stay healthy for an entire season.
"I don't know if it's really staying healthy," she said. "My bones, they are weak and I wear ankle braces now and wrap my wrist."
Last week she twisted her ankle, but "I'm going to play," Ball said. "I haven't missed a game this year. But I'm still hurting myself, just not as bad."
It's Ball's goal to try to make it through an entire season seeing as how this is her senior year of high school.
"It's my senior year so I hope I can finish all my seasons this year," Ball said.

One Million!
Meet Arlene Poff. On July 2nd at exactly 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Arlene posted the one millionth message on the Motley Fool's message boards. There are a number of cool things about Arlene's post and her situation, so please take a moment to read a bit about Arlene and her one millionth post. To say thanks, we'll be barraging Arlene with small tokens of our affection (cars, furs, boats... ok, not really, but we will have some Fool stuff for her). Of course, Arlene is just one of thousands and thousands of people who have posted to the Fool. To everyone who makes this community a place where we can all learn together, we say a gigantic "THANKS!"
It's somewhat ironic, and very fitting, that our million post milestone was Arlene Poff's first post ever. With new people coming into Fooldom every day, we celebrate that Arlene made the commitment to post in our community. It's not easy for a newbie to gather up the courage to post for millions to see. Even more Foolish is the fact that Arlene's first post was in her Investment Club's message board, the Parimutual Fund. With the Fool so focused on individuals coming together to learn about investing, we couldn't be happier that Arlene posted our one millionth message in her club's folder.
Arlene Poff hasn't been investing all that long. In fact, she only really started to learn about investments last summer when she got her feet wet with some mutual funds. Arlene did admit that she and her husband Dennis lost $500 bucks in some penny stocks back in the 1970s. She says that the experience soured them both on the stock market and that it hasn't been until recently that they've gotten more involved.
Arlene has been much more active lately thanks to her friend Rick Fornoff, the president of the Parimutual Fund investment club. Rick showed Arlene how he buys stocks through an online broker and told her he would soon be getting some friends together to form a club. Arlene asked to be included and has been learning and researching ever since. Arlene and her clubmates use the Fool to research stocks and to discuss their investments.
In addition to Fooling around here, Arlene is working on her Master's degree in Human Resource Development. She also works at UNC Asheville as a Program Assistant for the Community Leadership Program. Arlene has her undergraduate degree in Psychology from UNC as well. It's a pleasure to have her as part of our community.

2005 WK CRD strange Vibrations
Hi folks,
I'm Harald , new to the side, new to the WK CRD but an ols guy when it comes to off road, SUV's and wrenching...
I've bought a 2005 WK CRD a week ago, from a Jeep Chrsler dealer in Germany with a one year backup warranty....
When driving it over flat roads I sometimes feel a vibration in the drivetrain between 70kmh and about 100kmh. It feels as if you drive over a very rough road surface. That vibration comes and goes which is the reason that I didn't visit my dealer right away. After working in the car business for 20 and more years I know it's waisted time to visit them without a consistent problem.
So I try to inverstigate a little more on my own.
The vibration feels like an unbalanced driveshaft and the vibration stays also if I put it in N. What speaks against the driveshaft is that it happens only from time to time.
The other thing I hear is also a slight bump from the front suspension when I drive over some potholes... could be a worn bushing or such.
Is this something other WK drivers experienced??
Re: 2005 WK CRD strange Vibrations
Mopar is always notorious for their transmission but other than that it beats me ... as for the squeak the OEM shocks are POS and they need to go ... almost all the members here have switched to the bilsteins, some now are doing coil overs, some lifted, and a few are going with KONI
but majority is bilstein
Also WELCOME :D
Re: 2005 WK CRD strange Vibrations
to address that I like to go with the medium set of OME shocks and springs.
That will bring me up a little and so far I only heard good news from the OEM set.
I also think my IFS in the front sagged. I am used (from GM) to the downward angle (towards the tire, seen from the front) of the lower A-arm.
When I look at my WK I see a slight upward angle, also the driveshaft seems not to rest level with the ground it points a little bit upward towards the tire.
Other than that the GC has 80.000km on the clock (50kmls) and was never used off road viewed from its mint condition.

Jets quarterback Chad Pennington vehemently defended the team's offensive coordinator, Paul Hackett, on Tuesday, taking the blame for three clock-management mix-ups against the New England Patriots and calling criticism of Hackett ''annoying.''
Pennington, whose five-interception performance Saturday night sparked the latest round of criticism of Hackett, also dismissed speculation that Hackett's job could be in jeopardy because of the recent offensive lull, during which the Jets have scored just 28 points in 3 games.
When Pennington was hurt during the preseason, it seemed a free pass was in order for the offense. But as Pennington has struggled with inconsistency, and the Jets have gone 4-4 with him as a starter, scrutiny of Hackett's performance has intensified.
When Hackett was asked Tuesday about his future, he abruptly ended an interview session with the news media and walked away.Continue reading the main story
''I'm not even going to answer that,'' Hackett said. ''I think to even discuss it is absurd.''
Pennington's loyalty and his good working relationship with Hackett make Hackett's dismissal seem unlikely, although the Jets will review almost all of their operations at the end of the season, and there are some members of the organization who believe Hackett will have to agree to make changes to use players better. Coach Herman Edwards is also expected to have greater input into the offensive game; for his first three years as a head coach, the defensive-oriented Edwards has given his coordinators complete autonomy.
''For anybody to think he hasn't done a good job doesn't understand football and quickly forgets about the success we had as an offense last year, how successful we were going into the playoff run and how we bounced back as an offense this year and put together some masterful offensive games,'' Pennington said.
Then, referring to the Jets' 38-31 loss to the Colts, in which they had 324 yards on just 34 offensive plays, Pennington added: ''Since when do you go play a team that's 11-4 now and average 10 yards a play? That's unheard of. That just doesn't happen by chance. I disagree with what people are saying. There's no credibility to it.''
Still, when asked about Hackett and the offense on Tuesday, Edwards indicated that the Jets might have to better adapt to the strengths and weaknesses of their personnel.
''You've got to build a system around the players,'' Edwards said. ''You have to play with the players you have and you have to make sure they fit, and you put them in positions where they can make plays.''
Pennington was still subdued about his performance in the 21-16 loss to the Patriots. He attributed the interceptions to his own overaggressiveness.
''I'm just disgusted and disappointed,'' he said. ''I've just got to find a way to get over it.''
Hackett's assessment of his performance reflects the turbulence of his offense, and of the Jets' season. And perhaps of the off-season, too.
''Inconsistent, up and down, some days good, some days bad,'' he said. ''We saw ourselves ready to take off, and it never happened.''
JOE NAMATH apologized to the ESPN reporter SUZY KOLBER for his comments during Saturday night's game. ''Joe apologized, I accepted, it's over,'' Kolber said Tuesday after Namath phoned her. Namath, at the Meadowlands for the Jets' announcement of their all-time team, twice told Kolber he wanted to kiss her while she was interviewing him on the sideline.

Here's a quick and easy way to make Sportsnet's hockey pundits look foolish: Flip back to our 2015-16 season predictions, specifically the guesstimates made under the subhead "Kessel Goal Total."
On average, the hockey minds here had Phil Kessel putting up 41 goals in his first season as a Pittsburgh Penguin. Scott Morrison was optimistic at 51. Leah Hextall will win the pool at 30, but even she aimed too high, falling — as we all did — into the trap of thinking the five-time 30-goal sniper would easily return to form by upgrading his setup man from Tyler Bozak to Sidney Crosby and/or Evgeni Malkin.
"What is a goal scorer supposed to have at this point? Is he supposed to have 30 goals? And if he doesn't have 30 goals, does it mean he's not playing well?" Penguins GM Jim Rutherford, the man who traded for Kessel, said Monday on Hockey Central at Noon.
"Overall, he's bought in to what the coach is trying to do and bought in to being a team guy. I'm sure he'd like to see production on the goal side."
Pittsburgh's six-game winning streak has propelled Rutherford's club ahead of both New York franchises. The surge has also made Malkin's injury easier to deal with and smoothed over Kessel's rough patch on the score sheet.
The 28-year-old right wing, as with all shooters, turns hot and cold. He has just one goal in his last nine games, three in the last month, and 21 on the season. Team USA's most dangerous offensive weapon in the last best-on-best tournament (Sochi 2014) hasn't been named yet to his country's roster for the 2016 World Cup. And he's tied for 54th in the Rocket Richard Trophy race, knotted with the likes of Zack Smith and Charlie Coyle.
All of this leaves Kessel's defenders to point to other aspects of his game that are working.
"My expectation is he would get 30 goals this year," Rutherford said. "He's been doing fine. His game in Philadelphia was probably his best game of the year as an all-around game. He was forechecking and doing things I really haven't seen in his career."
Teammate Patric Hornqvist said Kessel was the Penguins' best player in Saturday's rivalry match. Not that he's killing penalties or anything, but Kessel, an atrocious minus-34 last season, is a plus player for the first time since he left Boston.
"He loved Toronto," Rutherford said. "I know it was hard sometimes for him there, but at the same time he loved it there and didn't really want to leave. I really feel he still deals with that emotion."
Rutherford gave up centre Nick Spaling, prospect Kasperi Kapanen, defenceman Scott Harrington, plus first- and third-round draft picks in July's Kessel deal. Still, the GM insists he's not disappointed by Kessel's season. His commitment to Mike Sullivan's game plan outweighs the underwhelming numbers.
"I'm fine with the way Phil's played," Rutherford said. "We know at any time he can change the game. When he's out there, the team has to watch him real close. Now he's shooting the puck more, and pucks are going to go in."
Secrets to the Penguins' March according to GM Jim Rutherford
Coaching change: "Mike Sullivan really clicked with this group of guys in how he likes to play the game and how the guys like to play the game... The way the power play was set up was one thing that changed."
A resurgent Sidney Crosby: "He started to produce a lot more in the second half. Of course, that's how everybody judges him, based on his production, but I really feel he's played hard all year," Rutherford says of the NHL's first star of the week. "He was setting guys up; we weren't converting.
"Sid is so determined to do well. While all this was going on, you can be sure he was trying to figure out different ways [to boost his offence]."
Balanced offence: "[Opposing] teams can't just concentrate on one line. We have a much better transition game from the back end, which really helps a guy like Sid because he likes to go through the neutral zone at top speed and get the puck, and he wasn't getting it earlier in the year."
Upped tempo: "We've gone from a slow team to a fast team. We added Trevor Daley, we added Carl Hagelin. We brought some young guys up from the minors who can really skate: [Bryan] Rust and [Scott] Wilson and [Tom] Kuhnhackl and [Conor] Sheary."
Reliable goaltending: "We're right where we want to be [in net]. We made a decision early to put [coveted prospect Matt] Murray in the minors so he could play a lot of games and not sit a long times behind Fleury. We know what Fleury's done for us. He really carried the team earlier in the year, and in these big games he's come up big for us at the right time in the game."
Toughness: "We have a team right now that's not going to go out and out-muscle or beat teams up, but we have a group of guys who are really tough."

Aluminum producer Novelis has commissioned an expansion of its secondary smelting facility in Latchford, U.K. The cost of the expansion will be around €13.6 million ($18.3 million) and is expected to increase the plant's capacity by more than one third to become Europe's largest recycled-content production facility of automotive aluminum rolled products.
"With the commissioning in Latchford, we are expanding our recycling capabilities and developing efficient manufacturing systems along our automotive supply chain," says Erwin Mayr, senior vice president and president of Novelis Europe. "Responding to the realities of our increasingly resource-constrained world and demands for a more sustainable economy, Novelis is transforming its business model to be largely based on closed-loop recycling."
Novelis' Latchford plant currently employs about 135 people and processes 160,000 metric tons of aluminum per year. With the expansion the facility will process around 220,000 metric tons per year and will add another 30 full-time jobs at the facility.
Much of the additional capacity will be directed to support the auto industry's demand for automotive aluminum sheet, particularly from Jaguar Land Rover, one of Novelis' long-standing customers. The investment in new equipment for recycling automotive aluminum scrap includes a dedicated furnace, upgraded casting system, magnetic separation and handling equipment and environmental control equipment.
Through Novelis' aluminum recycling process, scrap is re-melted and cast into 10-to-12 metric ton ingots, each saving about 100 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions when compared to ingots produced from primary aluminum, according to the company. The ingots are then rolled back into automotive sheet at Novelis facilities in Europe.

Asda Consults With 4,100 Managers Amid Overhaul at Wal-Mart UnitGabi Thesing and Paul Jarvis
Asda, the U.K. supermarket chain owned by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., is in discussion with 4,100 store managers over their roles as the grocer places increasing emphasis on e-commerce.
The consultation is part of a process that will see the grocer also create 5,000 new roles for a net addition of about 900 workers, the Leeds, England-based retailer said today as it reported little changed first-quarter same-store sales.
Asda has been conducting trials at 20 stores over the past six months to develop a structure "that removes some existing department manager roles and creates new deputy manager, trading manager and section manager roles, as well as adding additional section leader roles to stores to increase the number of colleagues on the shop floor," the grocer said.
U.K. supermarkets are seeking to boost their online and convenience-store offerings as more shoppers order from home and seek to avoid traipsing around big grocery stores. They're also cutting prices to stem market-share losses as more customers turn to discounters such as Aldi and Lidl. Asda announced in November it would spend 1.25 billion pounds ($2.1 billion) over five years on price and quality improvements.
"More and more retailers are waking up to the idea that the market has changed and they need to change with it," Asda Chief Executive Officer Andy Clarke said in a statement.
Sales at stores open at least a year rose 0.1 percent, excluding fuel and value-added tax, in the 15 weeks ended April 20. That compares with the previous quarter's 0.1 percent drop.
Intensifying price competition kept grocery market growth at 1.9 percent in the 12 weeks to April 27, Kantar Worldpanel said May 7. That was the lowest level in at least 11 years, except for the previous 12-week-ending period, which was affected by the late-falling Easter this year, Kantar said.
Asda was the only one of the big four supermarkets not to lose market share in the 12-week period, retaining 17.3 percent, Kantar said. It also outperformed competitors with a 2 percent sales increase, compared with the 0.3 percent gain of nearest rival J Sainsbury Plc.

Aitkin man sentenced to 20 years in federal prison
MINNEAPOLIS — A 42-year-old Aitkin man was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Minneapolis for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine in Minnesota from 2008 through September of 2010.
United States District Court Chief Judge Michael J. Davis sentenced Robert Garcia to 20 years in prison on one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, and one count of aiding and abetting the distribution of methamphetamine. Davis also ordered Garcia to have no contact with members of the El Forastero motorcycle gang. Garcia was indicted on Oct. 5, 2010, along with three co-defendants. He was convicted on Feb. 18, 2011, following a four-day trial.
Evidence presented at trial established that from Jan. 1, 2008, through Sept. 29, 2010, Garcia and others sold large amounts of methamphetamine in and around Brainerd. Specifically, Garcia sold methamphetamine out of his business, DJ's Auto Sales, located in Garrison. Trial evidence also showed that on June 24, 2010, Garcia ordered a pound of methamphetamine from the Twin Cities. As the drug was being transported to Brainerd, officers conducted a traffic stop and seized it.
On Oct. 14, 2010, a search warrant was executed at Garcia's residence and his place of business. During the search of the home, officers recovered MDMA, also known as ecstasy, marijuana, and psilocybin mushrooms. In addition, they found five firearms and more than 900 rounds of ammunition. The search also revealed that Garcia had ties to the El Forastero motorcycle gang. During the course of the investigation, authorities seized a total of approximately 520 grams of pure methamphetamine linked to Garcia.
Following the sentencing, Bernard J. Zapor, special agent in Charge of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives's St. Paul Field Division, said in a release, "The success of this investigation can be attributed to the strong partnership with local, state, federal and tribal law enforcement agencies. ATF will continue to target these armed traffickers and reduce the violence in our communities by sending these defendants away to federal prison."
On Aug. 2, 2011, co-defendant Noel Gutierrez Manzanares, age 38, no known address, was sentenced to 10 years on one count of conspiracy to distribute in excess of 50 grams of methamphetamine. He pleaded guilty to the charge on Feb. 8.
On Aug. 17, 2011, co-defendant Karl James Pentz, age 49, Aitkin, was sentenced to seven years, eight months in federal prison on one count of conspiracy to distribute in excess of five grams of methamphetamine and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He pleaded guilty to the charges on Feb. 14, 2011. In addition to the conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, Pentz admittedly possessed firearms, including an AK-47 rifle. Because Pentz is a felon, he is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms at any time. Pentz's prior felony convictions include third-degree possession of narcotics in Anoka County in 2002, fifth-degree possession of narcotics in Sherburne County in 2002 and fifth-degree possession of narcotics in Aitkin County in 2008.
On Sept. 8, 2011, co-defendant Randy Lee Motzko, age 43, of Hilltop was sentenced to time served on one count of conspiracy to distribute in excess of 50 grams of pure methamphetamine. He pleaded guilty on Feb. 4, 2011.
This case was the result of an investigation by the ATF, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, sheriff's offices in Crow Wing, Aitkin, Mille Lacs, Isanti and Kanabec counties, Brainerd, Breezy Point and the Mille Lacs Tribal police departments, the Lakes Area Drug Investigation Division, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

McKinley Phipps (born July 30, 1977),[1] better known as Mac, is an American rapper and songwriter from New Orleans' 3rd Ward, and would grow to be one of the most critically acclaimed on Master P's No Limit Records, both as a solo rapper and as a member of the super group 504 Boyz. He also collaborated with rapper B.G. on the album Chopper City released in 1996.
Early Music career[edit]
Mac was born Mckinley Phipps in New Orleans, Louisiana. He started his music career as a kid rapper in the year 1990. At 13 years old he made his solo debut album under the name of "Lil Mac", called The Lyrical Midget. The album was one of the earliest commercial hip-hop albums to come out of New Orleans, and featured some production from New Orleans producer Mannie Fresh. It was not very successful though Lil Mac would not be heard from for another 7 years.
Late 1990s: No Limit Records, Shell Shocked, and World War III[edit]
Mac would later join the Psychoward, a New Orleans group consisting (at the time) of more than 28 MCs. Psychoward is known (especially in the city) for having a sound that separates itself from the usual Bounce music and gangster/hustler lyrics that typifies most of the New Orleans rap scene, rather focusing on lyricism and a sound which could be described as a New Orleans Wu-Tang Clan. This made them favorites of local "hip hop heads" who often prefer this style to other local acts. In 1997 the group released their debut www.psychoward.com which is considered a classic by many. The standout on this disc was Mac.
Also in 1997 after rejecting an offer to move to New York and sign with Def Jam Records, Lil Mac changed his name to Mac and signed with Master P's No Limit Records.[2] He toured with No Limit throughout the U.S. and Europe, and made guest appearances on many other artists' albums before releasing his own. He was featured on Master P's Ghetto D, Mystikal's Unpredictable, and Mia X's Unlady Like, among others. The next year, 1998, Mac released his second solo album and first with No Limit, Shell Shocked. The album is Mac's most commercially successful to date, reaching #11 on the Billboard 200.[3] Mac again was featured on many other No Limit releases that year. In 1999 he released his second album on the label, World War III. While it was still on the label, this release differed from usual No Limit releases in that it was not exclusively produced by the production team Beats by the Pound, and featured only three guest spots from major No Limit names Master P, C-Murder, and Silkk the Shocker.[4] The album did not fare as well commercially as his first No Limit release, peaking at #44 on the Billboard 200. Mac's musical style differed from many other Southern hip hop artists in this period, and he often displayed a level of lyrical complexity that has come to be associated with East Coast hip hop.[5]
504 Boyz and Later Releases[edit]
World War III would be Mac's last album released on No Limit and his last solo album to date, as he would be sentenced to a 30-year prison term in 2001. In 2000 he joined the group 504 Boyz, whose name was a reference to the area code 504. The group was a collective of other No Limit rappers such as Master P, Silkk the Shocker, and C-Murder. Mac was with their group for one album, 2000's Goodfellas, which went gold and reached #2 on the Billboard 200. He was featured prominently on the group's hit single "Wobble Wobble", rapping the first verse and the chorus. The song reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2007, while Mac was still serving his prison term, No Limit released the album The Lost Tapes, which consisted of unreleased material Mac recorded with the label.
On May 31, 2012, DJ 5150 released the mixtape "Uptown Veterans" which is compilation of Mac's greatest hits.
Legal Issues[edit]
On September 21, 2001, Mac was convicted of manslaughter charges in the death of 22-year-old Barron C. Victor Jr.[6] He is currently serving a 30-year-to-life prison term at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in Louisiana (inmate number 445656).
In December 2014, Northwestern University's Medill Justice Project in partnership with The Lens published the results of a three-month investigation of Phipps' conviction, revealing that a key eye-witness at his trial gave his private investigator an affidavit in 2013, which stated she was coerced into identifying Phipps as the shooter because of investigators' threats to charge her.[7] Following Medill's investigation, The Huffington Post's David Lohr published the results of a four-month review of Phipps' conviction,[8] further revealing that four other witnesses to the shooting told HuffPost they also were threatened, intimidated or outright ignored by investigators. Phipps' family has since obtained affidavits[9] from many of the individuals in an effort to get him a new trial.
On March 25, 2015, nationally known rapper Michael Render, better known as Killer Mike, told students at Dillard University that it was unacceptable for authorities to use rap lyrics in the prosecution of Phipps. "If we let this stand, what you're going to see is that tool is going to be used to wipe out an entire potential generation of [artists] out of our community," Killer Mike told students gathered inside Cook Auditorium.[10]

Recently, I've noticed that I've been spending some quality time (unplanned) with a bunch of great women in manufacturing--from machine tool and cutting tool company representatives and marketing/agency contacts to mold shop owners and association leaders. All of whom are women in positions of power and influence and who share the same passion for manufacturing as I do. During a trip last week I learned about a "Women in Manufacturing" group, so I thought I'd pass on the information.
According to its website, Women in Manufacturing began in November 2009 with a small group of Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) members who gathered at the FABTECH tradeshow in Chicago to discuss best practices, business conditions and unique challenges and needs as minorities in the field. This intimate group subsequently met in 2010 and 2011 before broadening its scope to network with women in all areas and industries within manufacturing.
The group arrived at the concept of a women in manufacturing meeting and launched the Women in Manufacturing SUMMIT 2011, where 130 women gathered in Cleveland, Ohio. In 2012 it was held in October Milwaukee, Wisc. and grew to 200 female manufacturing leaders.
This moved the group to expand its offerings to include additional year-round networking opportunities, mentoring programs, quarterly e-newsletters and an online directory.
Its mission: Encourage the engagement of women who have chosen a career in the manufacturing industry and want to share perspectives, gain cutting edge manufacturing information, improve leadership and communication skills, participate in sponsoring programs and network with industry peers. WiM is an organization that focuses on the support, retention and advancement of women in the manufacturing industry.
Summit 2013 is October 22-23 in Dearborn, Mich.

The Portable Document Format is frequently associated with document security. Many believe that when you create PDF files these documents are automatically secured, making it impossible to extract text or images or any other information from the created PDF document.
However, what many do not know is that it is not quite that simple and that in fact, not all PDFs are created equally. Just because a document is created as a PDF, does not mean it is secure. In order to have a truly secure document that is protected from misuse, it is necessary to specially encrypt the PDF at the time of creation.
In many PDF creators, figuring out how to properly secure a PDF can be a real challenge.
With Able2Extract PDF Converter, you can secure your PDF by using the tool's Secure PDF option.

Stuart Jackson has not had experience with an unfair dismissal claim but he understands the fear that prompts some small businesses to pay "go away" money and settle claims before they proceed to more costly arbitration.
The manager of a small business in Tasmania has had two conflicts with former employees.
A few years ago, Jackson laid off an office worker who "wasn't very capable". The sacked woman then produced a diary showing overtime she worked that Jackson claimed was fabricated. The woman took the small business to court. "Because she had a diary and I didn't, she had to be paid," Jackson says.
Recently, he made a delivery driver redundant. His workload had dropped from about 50 deliveries a day to 10 because "business is really quiet at the moment", Jackson says. The man could not make an unfair dismissal claim because it was a genuine redundancy. But he was not entitled to a payout because Jackson's business is defined as small, given he employs fewer than 15 staff.
The staff member felt entitled to a payout, however, because he had been employed by the business for many years. He threatened to get union representation and take the case to court, claiming proper procedure wasn't followed in making him redundant. Due to his previous experience, Jackson paid him $2000 in "hush money", even though he knew the man was not entitled to it.
"The law is so tricky," Jackson says. "There was a minute chance he could say, 'well you didn't say to all the other staff that there was going to be a redundancy. . . so you didn't follow due procedure'. If they want to get you on some detail, they can."
The complexity of the industrial relations regime treats small businesses in the same way as multinationals, Jackson says. "Treating me the same as BHP . . . is ridiculous."
Small businesses are afforded extra protection against unfair dismissal claims under the Fair Work Act. Jackson says those provisions are "good". "But . . . there is still a lot of uncertainty and fear for small business. We do the best we can to follow the legislation."
In a small business, "you really try and help people," he says. Even if [an employee is] not really good, you hope that you can train them and you understand their life circumstances and you put up with more than you should, perhaps".

I was wandering the aisles of the Bay Area's largest rummage sale not long ago when I came across a thing of beauty: an ancient but extremely well-kept kids' science experiment kit.
Thames & Kosmos Science kits
A wide variety of kits cover dozens of subjects. Great as study aids for students, as well as just getting kids interested in the first place. More complex kits are great for adults, too. Writing is easy to understand. Uses real equipment. The best kits are structured with a final goal, so you'll want to complete all the experiments.
Writing is too simple and cutesy at times. Some kits are more homework than hands-on. The more expensive the kit, the more fun it is — the most interesting kits are well over 0.
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
It must have been around 40 years old. The large wooden box's double doors opened to reveal a full-size metal microscope, glass slides and a slew of toxic chemicals that would never make it into the hands of our precious modern-day youngsters. As cool as it was, it made me sad — science kits just aren't as awesome anymore.
That's not to say they aren't prevalent. A cursory Google search will prove there are more "experiment" kits out there than you can count. For the most part they're targeted to the very young; most manufacturers expect children as young as six years old to play with them. Many of them are also specific to different genders. And while I'm sure little girls would love to concoct their own lipstick, and little boys want to look at their boogers close up, there aren't many science lessons in there. At least, not the kind of lesson our parents were learning when they accidentally burned holes in their carpets. (Don't even get me started on the Magic Science kit, which lets you "cast spells" to change the colors of liquids, or the one that shows Einstein pulling a rabbit out of a hat on the box. Shudder.)
But all hope is not lost. One company in particular still carries a torch for the good old days of corrosive compounds, piercing audio tones and home explosions. Thames & Kosmos makes 60 different science kits targeted at kids ages 5 to 12, covering topics like ignition, electricity, biology, physics and, of course, chemistry. The experiments for older kids are so good, I'd even recommend them for adults.
[Thames & Kosmos kits] are well-made, extremely thorough, and clearly created by people who care about entertainment as much as education.
Every kit comes with an extensive manual that thoroughly outlines how to complete a series of experiments. You follow it chronologically, learning a new concept with each new experiment as you go, and, with several of the kits, eventually end with one big experiment to finish things off.
The Crystals, Rocks and Minerals kit ($50), for example, has you grow several different small crystals using various minerals (like potassium aluminum sulfate, copper sulfate, and potassium hexacyanoferrate). Once you've grown some "seed crystals," you use them to grow a large, balloon-sized geode, which you get to crack open with a hammer. All the while, you learn about geology and the formation of the Earth.
Much more complex is T&K's Electronics Workshop #1 ($100), which comes with a console to which you add transistors, resistors, capacitors, circuits and wires in different combinations. You start off simply, learning how to light a few LEDs. Eventually, you finish off the kit with a fully functioning medium-wave radio.
The crowning achievement, however, is the CHEM C3000 chemistry experiment kit ($250). With 333 experiments, this kit is a massive undertaking — the accompanying manual can be more accurately called a book. There are 29 sets of experiments, each focusing on a different chemical like ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and carbonic acid, or general topics like combustion, acids and chemical bonds. The kit comes with a slew of real lab tools: test tubes, a graduated cylinder and an Erlenmeyer flask, not to mention some nasty chemicals and a phone number for poison control.
Granted, not all of T&K's kits are as fun as these three. The company's Genetics kit ($35) is really just a series of worksheets, ultimately more textbook than experiment.
Also, because the company has to make its experiments understandable to youngsters, some of the writing can be trying for adults (the electronics workshop is hosted by Professor Armstrong who interjects experiment instructions with cute comments like: "No problem. I'm always welcome to visit Captain Fancyfree.")
That said, the Thames & Kosmos kits are great fun — with or without kids. They are well made, extremely thorough, and clearly created by people who care about entertainment as much as education. Sure, they're not as stunning as that 40-year-old chemistry set, but they are without question a beacon of light in what it is otherwise a bleak, sad sector of toys.

Executive Decision · 7:15pm
Hey there, sorry to disappoint, but this is actually 2dextreem, Loyal's editor and co-writer of all your favorite stories.
I've logged on to her account today to exercise a little executive oversight on some of the projects we have going on. It's been three weeks since the last time she's logged in, and over a month since I've been able to get in contact with her on Skype. Not too unusual, given how the past few years have gone, but I'm about at the end of my patience with how stagnant everything has become.
Guys, I love Loyal's stories as much as you all, if not more. Some of the best fun I've had with this fandom has been being able to flex my imagination and bring entertainment to the fans of these crossovers. Firstly, don't panic; I don't plan on quitting, and I'm sure neither does Loyal. But it's with a heavy heart that I feel like I must do something that's been a long time coming.
As of today, I am officially declaring on Loyal's behalf that all currently in-progress stories are being put on HIATUS. Yes, that includes Mass Effect: Shades of Twilight. While the next chapter is technically in development, progress has been at a near standstill for months and shows no sign of improving until Loyal sorts her life out. I'm doing this without her blessing, but I feel like she would agree it has to be done, and I'm just the one who has to do it for her. These feel like as much my stories as hers at this point, and I would rather definitively put a cap on them and shove them in the freezer than leave them out to stagnate while the fans hold out hope that they will see an update any time soon.
So... yeah. Doctor Whooves, Sly, and Mass Effect are going away for a little while. Officially. I honestly can't tell you when they will be back, but not for the foreseeable future. If anyone has any questions, you can comment here or PM me directly. Hopefully, this will all be over soon and we can get back to providing closure to all of those stories you're all waiting to see. (Seriously guys, ME3: Harmony for all is gonna be so good.)
But I have to be honest... I'm not holding my breath.

It Factor Quick Blowdry Shampoo and Conditioner
Developed by beauty executive Mark Stiller, It Factor Quick Blowdry Shampoo and Conditioner contains a proprietary VaporBoost System said to reduce blow-drying time by 50 percent. As described, the VaporBoost System speeds up the natural process of evaporation by reducing the bond between water and the hair shaft. When heat is applied, the water releases from the hair more easily and turns to water vapor more quickly, reducing blow-drying time.
Currently, four products make up the line—It Factor Quick Blowdry Shampoo and Quick Blowdry Conditioner for Fine Hair and Quick Blowdry Shampoo and Quick Blowdry Conditioner for Medium to Coarse Hair.
All It Factor products are free of sulfates, parabens, alcohol and sodium chloride.
Suggested retail price is $22.50 for an 8.5-oz. (250-ml) shampoo or 6.8-oz. (200-ml) conditioner, making the pair just $45.
It Factor products are available at professional salons. For more information, visit itfactorbeauty.com.

Wednesday, January 24, 2007
Toronto, ON – A new survey released today by Capital One and conducted by Ipsos Reid asked Canadians across the country about managing their finances in 2007.
To help improve their finances in 2007, many Canadians said they were willing to do a number of things, such as:
To better manage their money in 2007, eighty-two percent of Canadians say they plan to create and use a budget in the upcoming year. Less than half of Canadians (46 percent) said they did not stay within their planned budgets over the holidays.
When asked what the most important factor is when choosing a credit card, almost two-thirds of Canadians point to the card's interest rate. However, eleven percent of Canadians plan to shop around for a lower rate credit card and transfer their balances.
What will Canadians miss from 2006? From a list of three choices, one-third (34 percent) say they will miss the Liberal leadership race, and sixteen percent will miss Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.
Other regional findings include:
These are the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted for Capital One with Ipsos-Reid's online panel from January 3 to 5, 2007. For the survey, a representative randomly selected sample of 1,336 adult Canadians was interviewed online. The sample used in this study has been weighted according to Census data to accurately reflect the population of Canadians. With a sample of this size, the aggregate results are considered accurate to within ± 2.68 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had this entire population been polled. The margin of error will be larger within each sub-grouping of the survey population.

Then while the kids, Jess and Sara stayed and played some more, Brett and Tim went back to the house in order to have lunch and then start work on some construction projects that he had been saving up. The one we spent the majority of the afternoon on was finishing and hanging a screen door on the tree house that he had constructed the previous year. Treehouse is grossly unkind to this building as it is a magnificent structure that has one main room, an upstairs loft, a pull-out couch, carpeting and floor to ceiling windows on the side facing the woods. We reckon it is more deserving of the title "Guest Chalet!" After the kids played all afternoon and the Dads constructed, we all sat down to hamburgers and hotdogs and salad of fresh vegetables. By now, the kids were yawning, rubbing their eyes and beginning to disintegrate so we put them to bed, cleaned up and sat down with coffee, beers, and tea for our second night of board gaming. Tonight we played a favorite of Brett and Sara; Settlers of Catan, This is a risk/monopoly type of game where you accumulate property and resources in order to gain a target number of points. This game took longer but when we all went to bed the game tally was as follows: Tim 2, Brett 0, Sara 0, and Jess 0.

I had to built a rear shelf mounting to place it, it is heavy! it works nice even with some light. my only issue is that I could not place it exactly perpendicularly in front of my screen, it is around 4 feets off left, with lens shift i moved the picture to fit into my screen, however as a problem I do not get a perfect rectangular picture. it is not bad and i can correct with keystone, however I saw picture loses some quality with keystone adjustment, do you have any good tip for getting a perfect rectangular picture mithout moving the projector exactly to the front of my screen (my room doesnt allowed me to do that)? thanks again for your review, it helped me a lot to make my decision for what projector to buy.
