Review of the 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
Outgunned and outclassed by other full-size luxury SUVs, the 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class will nevertheless appeal to a select few attracted to its retro, ultra-boxy looks and macho image.
- Safety
Go-anywhere capability, powerful V8 engines, surprisingly quiet on the highway.
Heavy steering and accelerator pedal efforts, poor ergonomics, guzzles gasoline, not much cargo room.

Full 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Review
What's New for 2007
Entering its 28th year of production, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class receives minor changes. The exterior has new LED-look taillights, while the interior gets a new instrument cluster, four-spoke steering wheel and mildly reworked dashboard controls. Bi-xenon headlamps and satellite radio are standard on both models for 2007. The G500 now sports a seven-speed automatic transmission, while the G55 AMG has 24 more horses. TeleAid telephone controls are no longer offered.
For whatever reason, a certain sector of the population is attracted to vehicles that defy logic, practicality and/or modern aesthetics. Shaped like a 5,500-pound Mosler bank vault and designed during the waning hours of the disco era, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is one of those vehicles. Like its classmate the Hummer, the G-Class will attract those who consider on-road driving dynamics secondary to pulling up to the valet stand in a flashy, off-road vehicle dripping with Rambo levels of testosterone. As a legitimate luxury sport-utility, though, the 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class cannot compete with other full-size luxury models like the Lexus LX 470, Range Rover or even Mercedes' own GL450.
The G-Class first went on sale in 1979 as the Gelaendewagen (ga-lin-di-va-gon), which means "tough terrain vehicle." The G-wagen, as it was nicknamed, was primarily designed for military purposes, with numerous body styles used by armed forces around the world � including the United States Marine Corps. Up until recently, the G-wagen even underpinned the Popemobile (now a retrofitted M-Class SUV). Throughout the 1980s and '90s, G-wagens were brought to the United States by a few import companies that outfitted them to meet American emissions and safety regulations. Available in two- and four-door models (including a Jeep Wrangler-like convertible), G-wagens would routinely sell for $130,000. Mercedes-Benz finally officially brought them to the United States in 2002 as the G-Class, offering only the four-door version.
Aside from its two thoroughly modern V8 engines, the 2007 G-Class maintains close ties to its roots as an off-road-capable military vehicle with body-on-frame construction, four-wheel drive and three locking differentials. While this may attract off-road enthusiasts, it's hard to imagine crawling through a gorge or fording a stream in a $108,000 G55 AMG shod with 18-inch rims. Instead, the G-Class is a chore when crawling through traffic or fording an interstate. The steering and gas pedal are unpleasantly heavy, and the truck suspension sends road imperfections quivering through the cabin. Not surprisingly, the tall, boxy G-Class also exhibits plenty of body roll around turns.
Mercedes has done its best to snazz up the dated interior, but the company's efforts ultimately come off as trying to dress Norman Schwarzkopf in Dolce & Gabbana. Premium leather and wood cover most surfaces, while buttons and switches are indicative of those found in other Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs. Yet the upright dashboard and seating position are more Jeep Wrangler than $80,000-plus luxury SUV. Step-in height is rather lofty � requiring standard running boards � and it combines with smallish doors to make climbing aboard the G-Class a tight squeeze. Those doors also close with an unsubstantial "click" rather than the typical, reassuring Mercedes "thud."
There's no escaping the fact that the 2007 Mercedes-Benz G500 and G55 AMG are luxury-lined versions of a 28-year-old military vehicle. Compared to the Range Rover or Mercedes-Benz GL450, the boxy old G is thoroughly outgunned in every area except sheer power and machismo. Nevertheless, those are the attributes that will attract the 1,000 or so buyers to the G-Class this year. Sure it may look like a bank vault on wheels, but for some, that's the beauty of it.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a five-passenger luxury SUV available in G500 and G55 AMG trim levels. They both come fully loaded with similar standard equipment, including bi-xenon headlamps, corner-illuminating foglamps, running boards, rear park assist, a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt/telescoping heated steering wheel, a navigation system with the COMAND interface, front and rear heated leather seats, 10-way power front seats with memory and a nine-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with satellite radio and a trunk-mounted six-CD changer. The G55 AMG adds wider tires, larger brakes, front and rear light guards, dual side-pipe chrome exhausts and premium "designo" leather and wood trim.
Powertrains and Performance
The Mercedes G500 is motivated by a 5.0-liter V8 that churns out 292 horsepower and 336 pound-feet of torque. The G55 AMG has a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 capable of 493 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, and it's enough to propel the SUV from zero to 60 mph in an estimated 5.4 seconds. The G500 now comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission, while the G55 AMG retains its five-speed auto. Both G-Class models come standard with four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case controlled by a console-mounted switch. With a 50/50 torque split and electromechanically locking center, rear and front differentials, the G-Class is Mercedes-Benz's most capable off-road vehicle. With its sturdy body-on-frame construction, the G is capable of towing 7,000 pounds.
Both Mercedes G-Class models come standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, full-length side curtain airbags and rear parking sensors. Side torso airbags are not available, and the rear center seating position has only a lap belt.
Interior Design and Special Features
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class interior has received a mild refresh, but retains its bygone-era design. The instruments are now a more traditional four-ring setup with a center LCD display. Buttons and dials on the center console have been updated to current Mercedes-Benz standards, including an updated version of the often-confusing COMAND interface system. The lengthy standard features list bestows a luxurious environment, but the truckish, upright driving position may be a put-off for those used to today's more carlike SUV cabins. Rear cargo capacity falls short of full-size sport utilities at 80 cubic feet, while the swinging cargo door is heavy because of its full-size spare tire and stainless steel cover.
Driving Impressions
The G-Class is a truck-based SUV designed for military activities, and it drives like it. Although the two modern V8 engines move the G-wagen with impressive force, on-road handling and ride leave much to be desired. With its tall, boxy body, the G exhibits significant body roll, while its front and rear solid-axle suspension is better suited for off-roading up a hill, not cruising through Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, the old-school recirculating-ball steering requires Popeye arm strength and offers limited feedback at higher speeds. The gas pedal also requires too much effort, making cruise control a frequent friend on highway journeys. On the bright side, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is surprisingly quiet on such journeys despite having the aerodynamic attributes of a shipping crate.

If you're a patient who has taken Yaz or Yasmin and suffered severe side effects, contact Ken Nunn, The Indiana Injury Lawyer, immediately at 1-800-CALL-KEN and GET HELP NOW! online. I have been standing up for the rights of injured people in our communities, including Bloomington, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville and Muncie, and I have represented over 20,000 clients in 574 different cities in Indiana for more than 42 years. Don't go to sleep worrying. We are experienced drug lawyers, we know how important your case is and we believe in returning phone calls fast.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Yasmin for use in the United States in 2001, while Yaz was approved for use in 2006. Although there are numerous brands of birth control pills available, Yasmin and Yaz dominate the market with more than one-quarter market share between them. Manufactured by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, these products contain a combination of the hormones estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (drospirenone), which prevent pregnancy by inhibiting the release of certain hormones that play key roles in the development of the egg and preparation of the lining of the uterus for implantation of the embryo.
In August 2009, European researchers linked drospirenone to an increased incidence of potentially fatal blood clots. By obstructing blood flow, blood clots can cause heart attacks, stroke, and death in otherwise healthy women. Research has also indicated that drospirenone can cause dangerous levels of potassium. This condition, called hyperkalemia, can cause cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death in severe cases.
Federal drug regulators have twice admonished Bayer for overstating the benefits of Yaz and Yasmin while failing to inform consumers of the dangerous risks they carry. In February 2008 and again in March 2009, the FDA warned Bayer that its advertisements for Yaz and Yasmin violated the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by minimizing the "serious risks associated with use of the drug." Drug regulators also ordered Bayer to stop marketing Yaz for treatment of the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) because it had not received approval for that purpose.
When companies act negligently and allow a dangerous drug into the marketplace, it is you as the consumer who is hurt while the company rakes in a profit. Negligent drug companies must be held liable for the lives they destroy. Everyone knows if you are in Indiana and have been hurt by a dangerous drug like Yaz, you call Ken Nunn. I am a drug injury lawyer who knows Indiana pharmaceutical laws. I will help you get the settlement you deserve.
While financial compensation will not restore your losses, it can help take care of your medical bills and other expenses while helping you to rebuild your life. Contact me today online to GET HELP NOW! or call my Bloomington office at 1-800-CALL-KEN for a free consultation. Don't hesitate! Put a fighter on your side today.

The IUOE really doesn't have a lot of power over how our bridges are
If true, I don't see how that would make many of us feel better about our bridges. However, the specific statement concerned legislation and they indeed have significant influence along with other related organizations.
to compare them with the NEA, the most powerful union in the nation,
and their legislative agenda, is just a bit silly, don't you think?
No, not since the comparison is appropriate. And it was only one example in a list that could have extended to perhaps every career area where legislation and/or regulation is involved.
their legislative agenda:
recent letters to congress:
I suggest that a more direct link is:
However, how much of anything on the pages you pointed to or on the legislative priorities pages seemed outside of reason to you? I found little to be disturbed about. On balance, it looked very good to me. Where was the problem?
A particular element that concerned me was the one concerning universal health care. I can't quite come to grips with it yet, but I can't come to grips with the sheer exorbitant cost of a lot of health care today either. And because we're currently speaking in terms of "union" and teachers are hardly seen as being regularly overpaid, I can forgive some expression of support for health care cost relief.
the power they wield is enormous, and 95% of their political
contributions go to democrats.
don't republicans have children too?
Sure, I'm married to one. But what sparks your thought that Republicans make the lives of teachers better in general? Clearly, teachers overall seem to feel differently. Perhaps they have reasons.
Nevertheless, why shouldn't they have power? They represent "teachers". Teachers choose their representatives. We have a hundred million children, so there's little reason to think there won't be a lot of teachers. With a lot of 'anybody', there will be a lot of power.
But, what power are you concerned about?

You know that friend you have that you can call up at a moment's notice with an offer to catch a movie, and be guaranteed to get a ''yes''? That friend who's always up for something? That friend who loves to while away minutes, or even hours, e-mailing and texting and chatting about life's oddities? That friend you can't do without?
I am not that friend.
No, I'm the friend who turns down spontaneous offers of celebration because I'm pretty sure I have something important to do tomorrow and I need my rest. I'm the friend who, while standing with you in the middle of a crowded bar, is thinking about the book I'd rather be reading right now. I'm the friend who is not always guaranteed to be thrilled by a surprise visit at home.
I'm that type of friend not because I'm malicious or misanthropic. I actually like my friends, all three or four of them. I enjoy spending time with them, and I even occasionally enjoy meeting new friends. It's just that I like to do so under fairly controlled circumstances.
I'm that friend because I'm an introvert and a bit of a loner. One of the gifts of growing a bit older has been the realization that it's okay if I don't want to spend my life living in the middle of a social whirlwind, that there's nothing wrong with my desire to stay at home on the couch. Or in front of the computer, where I can play a massively multiplayer online game like World of Warcraft.
Solo, of course.
I have decided as of late to be a bit more proactive in my socializing and less of a loner. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, I don't want to end up living in a cave -- unless, of course, it has a good high-speed Internet connection. But allowing my loner tendencies to grow unabated may, I fear, turn me into a cranky old guy who snaps irritably at television news shows and writes angry responses to political opinion columns.
Okay, fine, I've already turned into that person. But if I increase my actual human interaction, there could be hope for me to return to normal. Or to at least stop watching Keith Olbermann.
Second, and more importantly, I've realized that I'm a loner with a husband. I assume that all couples, after a few years of living together, find themselves migrating into patterns of time together and time apart. Unfortunately, I've begun to realize that I've migrated into mostly time apart.
When Cavin and I moved into our house, he half-jokingly said he liked it because it had enough room to get away from me. Hey, I've lived with myself for years, I can understand the sentiment. But it turns out I'm the one with the little loner nest in the house, from which I emerge to watch Battlestar Galactica, but not much else.
So, my spring resolution -- it's as good as New Year's to me -- is to get out of the house more often, to engage my fellow man, and to embrace the idea that change begins at home. I will respond to e-mails and voice mails and Twitters alike. I will make lunch plans which I will keep. I will gladly join you for a festive happy hour to celebrate my new-found sociability.
Just be sure to give me a few days warning. You know how I am about surprises.

Sign up to receive information about new books, author events, and special offers.
Read the full excerpt
Praise for Infernal Angels:
"Shamus Award–winner Estleman demonstrates that the art of inserting a Philip Marlowe–esque hero into modern times is alive and well in his twenty-first novel featuring Detroit PI Amos Walker…. Estleman presents a powerful view of the battered inner city. Three decades on, Estleman and Walker show no signs of slowing down."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Estleman has piled up enough literary awards to add a wing to his home. Read this classic yet modern example of the hard-boiled detective novel and you'll begin to understand why."—Booklist
And for The Left-Handed Dollar:
"Estleman's latest intricate and wholly enjoyable yarn is peppered with mob lore, Detroit history, and the ever-present one-liners. It's sure to please fans of urban mysteries as well as classic detective genre devotees. Strongly recommended."—Library Journal
"Amos Walker, the throwback private eye who operates out of Detroit in Loren D. Estleman's hard-boiled mysteries, is a lot like the old Cutlass he drives. The guy may look beat up, but under the hood he's a clean machine."—The New York Times Book Review
Loren D. Estleman is author of more than sixty novels, including twenty-two featuring Amos Walker. Winner of four Shamus Awards, five Spur Awards and three Western Heritage Awards, he lives in Michigan with his wife, author Deborah Morgan.

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm Red Dahlia -- 0.15 oz
no tint
This is a nice balm but no tint evident, not on lips, my hand or tissue to remove it. I purchased Red Dahlia. The packaging is deceptive as you may expect a larger tube, but actual tube is the usual small size.
It is not very ecological to double package when not needed. I was so disappointed that I contacted the company. Alba Terra Tint in Blaze (soft red) is a much better product. I usually don't write reviews but I expected more from Burt's Bees.
May 10, 2013
Nice tint.
The red dahlia is a nice color (fair to medium complexion, blue eyes) and does make my lips feel really smooth. I usually apply, let set for a while and then wipe off and reapply and blot. This has really made a difference in keeping my lips from getting chapped. Not real long lasting but a nice product and I will repurchase.
January 25, 2013
Another great BB product!
When I don't feel like wearing heavy lipstick, just something light and natural this gives a really fresh tint to my lips. I also like to use it over my lipliner to add a little moisture and tint. Really natural looking and I don't have to worry about what I'm licking off of my lips!
August 17, 2012
Makes you look much better when you're pale/tired
I was honestly expecting something much bigger than a regular lip balm-sized stick. I don't appreciate the deceptive advertising. And the smell isn't great, but it's not bad either.
Now, the color rocks. It makes a big difference when you're pale or tired; it certainly makes me look healthier if I don't! It's very subtle so appropriate for work settings, but it does make a difference. It also moisturizes well, like a regular Burt's Bees lip balm. Sweet product!
July 1, 2012
Sheer Color, Moisturizing, but No Flavor
It feels like a regular lip balm and this Red Dahlia has a nice tint that'll probably look good on anyone who just wants a touch of color. It doesn't have a sweet flavor like it says, but that doesn't bother me, no flavor is good, too.
I also use Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Rhubarb (slimmer tube, half the amount of product,) which is a shade darker than this one. Lip Shimmer in Fig is also pretty and just a shade brighter, with a slightly rosier hue. I keep one in the car for touch-ups so I won't have to carry one around with me. :)

Such good quality, pretty colors, big enough for a serving bowl for two or as a home for flowers. Just the right size for so many delicious things - I bought four colors! Thank you, Cooking.com!
It's my favorite bowl to use for cereal, soup or whatever. I have one in the tv room holding fun size candy.
I love these bowls for their look and versatility. You can definitely buy less expensive bowls for cereal and soup, but they probably aren't microwave-, oven- and dishwasher-safe. Also, metal utensils don't leave a mark. I was lucky to get these on sale and mixed colors--the fennel green with Caribbean blue. You won't regret spending more for these.

Our Godly Heritage is a one hour video by David Barton which focuses on the importance of Christian principles to the founding fathers. It also explains the original intent of the phrase separation of church and state. In the latter part of the twentieth century, this phrase developed a faulty interpretation. Consequently, many people misapply the phrase based on that faulty interpretation. By understanding this phrase and their godly heritage, Christians can be better equipped to stand firm in their spiritual heritage.
Through this video, you can have some informal discussions with faculty, faculty and spouses, students or church groups. For this discussion series, you will need the video, Our Godly Heritage, by David Barton.

You can adjust the times based on the needs of your group. If you meet during a lunch hour, you may need to leave out some items and shorten the discussions. Three weeks are suggested because the video covers some complex ideas. However, if you can only have a two-week series, divide the video into two 30-minute sessions and rearrange the discussion questions.
You can have the dessert-discussion at any time, but especially consider these months:
The pre-video discussion times should help the viewer to assimilate some of the material. Changes and additions can be made, especially to the post-video discussion questions, depending on the level and needs of each group.
Both books contain chapters on the rights of students and the rights of faculty. The latter is more lengthy and also includes sections on religious holiday observances and graduation prayers.

Though the secret behind Uley Kirland's cap and mining togs is unsuspected in 1880s Tin Cup, Colorado, she longs to shed the clothing of deception...especially when handsome stranger Aaron Brown awakens her heart. But while Uley dreams of being fitted for a wedding gown, the man she loves is being fitted for a hangman's noose, and she's the inadvertent cause of his troubles. The truth will set him free, and Uley will do whatever it takes to save Aaron's life-even risk her own.

Social cognition with a focus on morality
My research asks questions like: Why do we sometimes punish accidents? And, when do we think it is OK to sacrifice one person for the good of many? I am interested in understanding the cognitive processes involved in moral judgment, their development, and their evolutionary history.

Shahram Sarwar, a lawyer representing the college's editorial board, said his clients did not intend to hurt anyone's feelings but he was prepared to apologize on their behalf if they did.
Besides shutting down the journal, the college also closed the department where its staff worked, said Sarwar.
The current head of the National Arts College, Shabnam Khan, denied the institution caved to pressure from hardliners, saying the editorial staff quit voluntarily. She said the department was closed because no one was left to run it.
A member of the editorial board disputed this version of events, saying the college administration asked him and his colleagues to resign. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of being targeted by extremists.
The school has long been a progressive voice. A research project at the college in 2008 focused on the idea that rising Islamic conservatism and violent religious fanaticism was a fundamental threat to peace and democracy in Pakistan. In the 1980s, when former dictator Gen. Zia ul-Haq, a notorious Islamist, ordered all female students and teachers to cover their hair, the college pushed back.
Individual graduates have pushed the envelope with their work. Amra Khan's latest work, which was exhibited at the college and a gallery in Karachi this year, included Muslim veils embroidered with a pink Playboy bunny and The Rolling Stones' big red lips logo.
Evidence of the growing influence of Islamic hardliners abounds in Pakistan. In September, clerics wielding sticks forced their way into a wedding reception in the southern city of Ghotki to stop the guests from singing and dancing. A different set of clerics forced a five-star hotel to cancel a planned concert in August in the northwest town of Bhurban because they argued the music was counter to Islam.
Hardliners have had success influencing Pakistani institutions as well. The Supreme Court ordered the country's media regulatory body in August to look into blocking ''vulgar'' and ''obscene'' content on TV in response to a petition filed by conservative Islamists.
In November, the government's telecommunications arm banned late-night cell phone call packages, saying they encouraged immoral behavior by young people. The government banned YouTube earlier this year because of an anti-Islam video posted on the site, and one of the country's highest courts has blocked access to Facebook twice because of material considered anathema to Islam.
Khan, the head of the college, refused to discuss the case in more detail because of the court proceedings, but said that people across the political spectrum were becoming more alarmed by the use of violence to enforce views.
''I have heard recently even from conservative people that enough is enough,'' said Khan. ''It is wrong that people interfere in others' lives, that people interfere in others' beliefs.''

Note: Click HERE for a full-size 7' version of the chart in case you want to print it out and tape on a bedroom wall to make love to or whatever.
A geeky father, excited about his daughter's upcoming first birthday, decided to make her a geeky growth chart. This is her him standing by it. In case you can't tell, it measures height in tribbles, Yoda, R2-D2, Frodo, Princess Leia, a Dalek, Spock and Darth Vader. Me? I'm a solid Spock. With tribble balls. No -- R2-D2's.
Geeky Dad -- with another link to download a program that'll split the poster into pieces you can easily print. Also, to donate a couple bucks to his daughter's college fund for providing you with a free-of-charge growth chart.
Thanks to Mary, who prefers a more metric system of measuring height.

You did a heck of a job!
Y'all still talking about Lou Ferrigno ???
Sigh... where you've been....
I haven't been reading this thread, lately lol but, how did Lou Ferrigno get in the picture?
MERCY...! I've been gone too long! How did "The Hulk" get on here????
Daddy, I miss you more every day. You will always be my hero..
So why the "Elvis and illegal music sharing" thread was closed?
Let me just get something clear: IT WAS NOT ABOUT PROMOTING ILLEGAL MUSIC SHARING IN ANY WAY, EVEN LESS TO PROMOTE ANY SPECIFIC SITE, NEITHER TO ENCOURAGE FANS TO DO IT. So how did it went against the rules? Does it goes out of the rules if I address Elvis and drugs cause drugs are illegal?
What it was about is simple: illegal free music downloads its really taking place in our everyday life, an Elvis Presley, being still one of the most demanded recordings catalogs by the public, is a name that delivers tons of results if you looking for illegal download music sharing stuff, so I do think that its an important topic to be addressed on how this actually will affect or not our man legacy, cause this is what this forum is about right? to take care of business related to the King.
In short, illegal music sharing is a hot topic right now in the music industry business, an Elvis Presley is still a big selling name in that business, so how does this new era of global net sharing, that could lead to very positive communication, but also to new sorts of illegal stuff, does affect our man? that was the topic, no to promote it.
I think is was a topic that worth to be addressed, as the net is being polluted day by day by Elvis Presley music sharing blogs, and we can´t keep giving the: we can't talk about this cause its against the rules; its a against the rules to promote it, not to discuss it. To discuss it might even lead to tell fans no to do it if that is the case.
Anyhow this is not my site, and I have serious respect for it, not posting this trying to create a big blast of pointless controversy, I just wanted to know Elvis people point of views on something that it is happening.
P.S. I would like to reming everyone that when the TTWII box set was given away for free on the net (talking about illegal bootlegging on the net), a thread and several posts that had links to download it was allowed to be in the forum, that was breaking this forum rules if I might say so, why then to only discuss that phenomena and how does affects Elvis it is not allowed?

Ancient skeletal remains uncovered by road workers near Terryland Castle in Galway earlier this month may have been 17th-century soldiers in Oliver Cromwell's army.
Jim Higgins, heritage officer with Galway City Council, compared the significant find to the recent discovery of King Richard III's skeleton in Leicester, England.
"With Richard III, we had a fair idea that it was there," he told the Irish Independent, "but with this case we have a lot more skeletons, which will give us a lot more information. It's a fantastic find.
"They (the skeletons) are in a row, it looks as if they have been buried very deliberately. There are three definite skeletons and then a scatter of bones. I'd imagine there are more to be found."
Added Mr Higgins: "The first thing we'll be looking for will be buckshot marks or injuries. The great fascination is always how did they die?"
Archaeologists believe one possible explanation is that the remains belong to British soldiers from the Williamite battle in 1691, which had recorded casualties in the area. A small skirmish between Irish forces and Cromwellian troops in 1651 is also possible.
A second possibility is that skeletons belong to family members of the Earl of Clanricarde. According to the Independent, the remains were found 75 metres from Terryland Castle, where the earl used to spend time praying in a small chapel near the castle.
The remains will be examined on site next week before being removed to a laboratory for further forensic testing.

Cheerleading has grown dramatically over the past twenty-five years with the 2007-2008 high school participation survey showing that a total of 111,307 girls participated in competitive spirit in 4,510 high schools. Another 2,673 boys were involved in competitive spirit in 560 high schools. At the same time, cheer has evolved into two different kinds of activities: the traditional form in which participants wave pom-poms and lead cheers on the sports sideline (spirit) and the new, competitive form in which cheerleading squads compete against other squads in competitions (competitive cheer). Approximately 20 to 25 states now have a state championship for competitive cheer, but it is not clear how many states consider cheerleading a sport. Competitive cheeer has also become perhaps the most dangerous sports activity for girls, with high school and college cheerleaders accounting for over one-half of the catastrophic injuries to female athletes.
As a result, the focus in recent years has been on making the sport safer, with a number of schools, both high schools and colleges, and state high school athletic associations across the country now limiting the types of stunts that can be attempted by their cheerleaders.
MomsTeam's goal is to provide comprehensive information on competitive cheer: a primer on the rules of the sport, critical safety information, and videos and advice from experts, parents, and coaches.
But to do that we are going to need your help. If you are a parent of a child in competitive cheer, we hope you will share what you have learned with other MomsTeam parents. Please consider writing a blog, contributing an article, posting on and/or hosting a Forum, or becoming our competitive cheer expert. If you know of someone who used to coach competitive cheer who has knowledge to share, ask him or her to join. Together we can make MomsTeam a true community of cheer parents.
-Brooke de Lench, MomsTeam Founder and Editor-in-Chief

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable John CornynMay 6, 2003 OPENING STATEMENT This hearing will focus the subcommittee on the following topic: "Judicial Nominations, Filibusters, and the Constitution: When a majority is denied its right to consent." This week, the Senate will mark a rather dismal political anniversary. Two full years have passed since President Bush announced his first class of nominees to the federal courts of appeals. It is an exceptional group of legal minds. Some of them, however, still await confirmation. What's more, two of them are currently facing unprecedented filibusters. And more filibusters of other nominees are now being threatened. Never before has the judicial confirmation process been so broken, and the constitutional principles of judicial independence and majority rule so undermined. I'd like to take just a few moments to discuss those principles here. I also discussed those principles in an op-ed published just this morning on the Wall Street Journal's opinionjournal.com website. Without objection, I would ask that that op-ed be submitted into the record. The fundamental essence of our democratically-based system of government is both majestic and simple: majorities must be permitted to govern. As our nation's founding fathers explained in Federalist No. 22, "the fundamental maxim of republican government . . . requires that the sense of the majority should prevail." And as the Supreme Court unanimously held in the case of United States v. Ballin (1892), our Constitution is premised on the democratic doctrine of majority rule. Any exceptions to the doctrine of majority rule, such as any rule of supermajority voting, must be stated expressly in the Constitution. For example, the Constitution expressly provides for a supermajority, two-thirds voting rule for Senate approval of treaties and other matters. That is not the case, however, with respect to the Senate approval of judicial nominees. At the same time, we of course have an important tool, here in the United States Senate, called the filibuster. Let me be clear in stating that the filibuster, properly used, can be valuable in ensuring that we have a full and adequate debate on matters. Certainly, not all uses of the filibuster are abusive or unconstitutional. As we Senators are often fond of pointing out, particularly when we are in the mood to talk, the House of Representatives is designed to respond to the passions of the moment. The Senate is also a democratic institution, governed by majority rule, but it also serves as the saucer, to cool those passions, and to bring deliberation and reason to the matter. The result is a delicate balance of democratically representative and accountable government, and yet also, deliberative and responsible government. But the filibuster, like any tool, can be abused. And I am concerned that it is being abused here. Today, a minority of Senators appear to be using the filibuster not simply to ensure adequate debate, but actually to block many of our nation's numerous judicial vacancies from being filled, by forcing upon the confirmation process a supermajority requirement of 60 votes. The public's historic aversion to such abusive filibusters is well grounded. These tactics not only violate democracy and majority rule, but arguably offend the Constitution as well. Indeed, prominent Democrats such as Lloyd Cutler and Senators Tom Daschle, Joe Lieberman, and Tom Harkin have condemned filibuster misuse as unconstitutional. Time does not permit me to read each of their previous statements condemning filibusters as unconstitutional, but without objection, I would like to have them submitted for the record. Moreover, abusive filibusters against judicial nominations uniquely threaten both presidential power and judicial independence - and are thus far more legally dubious than filibusters of legislation, an area of preeminent Congressional power. For example, Harry Edwards, a respected Carter-appointed appeals judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, has written that the Constitution forbids the Senate from imposing a supermajority rule for confirmations. Otherwise, he writes, "the Senate, acting unilaterally, could thereby increase its own power at the expense of the President" and "essentially take over the appointment process from the President." Thus, Judge Edwards has concluded, "the Framers never intended for Congress to have such unchecked authority to impose supermajority voting requirements that fundamentally change the nature of our democratic processes." Significantly, I would point out that Judge Edwards expressed less concern with legislative filibusters than with filibusters of nominations. In addition, I would point out that Judge Edwards was writing a dissenting opinion in this case, styled Skaggs v. Carle (D.C. Cir. 1997). But notably, the two judges in the majority did not disagree with Judge Edwards - indeed, they did not address the issue one way or the other, because the majority concluded that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the case in the first place. So Judge Edwards stands as the only judge in that case, or indeed in any case, who has discussed the precise constitutional issue before us today. History confirms Judge Edwards's constitutional interpretation that the Senate may not impose a supermajority requirement on confirmations. Indeed, a Senate majority has never been denied its constitutional right to confirm judicial nominees - until now. The current obstruction is thus as unprecedented as it is harmful. To justify the current filibusters, some have cited the example of Abe Fortas. President Lyndon Johnson nominated Fortas to be Chief Justice in 1968. But what is critical to understand about the Fortas episode is that majority rule was not under attack in that case. Dogged by allegations of ethical improprieties and bipartisan opposition, Fortas was unable to obtain the votes of 51 Senators to prematurely end debate. That was a serious problem for Fortas - because, if there were not even 51 Senators to close debate, it was far from clear that there would be a simple majority of Senators present and voting to vote to confirm. Rather than allow further debate, Johnson withdrew the nomination altogether just three days later.
But of course, as I mentioned, Fortas wasn't able to get the support of even 51 votes to close debate, and Johnson withdrew the nomination as a result, so the Cutler letter was moot. The Fortas episode is thus a far cry from the present situation. And the Cutler letter, condemning filibusters of judicial nominations when used to deny the majority its right to consent, most certainly would apply today. After extensive debate, Miguel Estrada, Priscilla Owen, and countless others enjoy enthusiastic, bipartisan majority support, yet they face an uncertain future of indefinite debate. By insisting that "there is not a number [of hours] in the universe that would be sufficient" for debate on certain nominees, Democrat leaders concede they are using the filibuster not to ensure adequate debate, but to change the Constitution by imposing a supermajority requirement for judicial confirmations. Whether unconstitutional or merely destructive to our political system, the current confirmation crisis cries out for reform. As all ten freshman Senators, myself included, stated last week in a letter to Senate leadership, "we are united in our concern that the judicial confirmation process is broken and needs to be fixed." Veteran Senators from both parties express similar sentiments. Accordingly, today's hearing will explore various reform proposals. Our first panel is comprised exclusively of Senators - actually, two Democrat Senators, and one Republican Senator. All of them, members of this body, have each experienced the current crisis first hand. All of them have offered proposals for reform. These proposals will be debated, of course, and they should be. But what's important is that these Senators acknowledge the current confirmation crisis and have urged reform, and I congratulate them all for doing that. Our second panel is comprised of the nation's leading constitutional experts who have studied and written about the confirmation process. Many of them have been called upon to testify by members of both parties. I am pleased to have all six here. They are a distinguished group, and I look forward to formally introducing them to the subcommittee later today. I want to close just by saying that the judicial confirmation process has reached the bottom of a decades-long downward spiral. Our current state of affairs is neither fair nor representative of the bipartisan majority of this body. For democracy to work, and for the constitutional principle of majority rule to prevail, this obstructionism must end, and we must bring matters to a vote. As former Senator Henry Cabot Lodge famously said of filibusters: "To vote without debating is perilous, but to debate and never vote is imbecile." Two years is too long. The Senate needs a fresh start. And with that, I would turn the floor over to the ranking minority member of the subcommittee, Senator Feingold. |

Mary-Kate And Ashley's 20 Best Matchy-Matchy Outfits
Kelly Kapowski, Winnie Cooper, and Topanga weren't the only TV characters we fell hard for in the '90s.
Francine Joy "Fran" Drescher, born September 30, 1957, is an American film and television actress, comedian, producer, and activist. She is best known for her role as Fran Fine in the hit TV series The Nanny, and for her nasal voice and thick New York accent.
Drescher made her screen debut...
more on Wikipedia ›Twinsies!
Susie Castillo, Shandi Finnessey, Shanna Moakler, and Alyssa Campanella use their (extremely attractive) bodies for good.
Yup, they're second cousins!
And they made out.
She and her gay ex-husband turned their unique relationship into a sitcom. Now in its second season, Happily Divorced is a whole new showcase for the Nanny star.
Spoiler alert: there's a lot of botox in these faces. Well, mainly Fran's.
It gets weirder: Fran and her ex-husband believe they had the exact same experience with the same aliens when they were children. As adults, they have the exact same scar on the exact same place on their bodies. Do you think the aliens also programmed her voice just to torture earthlings?
Here's a collection of Fran Drescher's insane tweets. My favorite: Dus any1 c tht crazy ass planet thts twinklin wite grn & pink lit up in th sky? Did any1 c Boni Hunt Fri? I thght I ws on Mon & misd it. View List ›
A little Twitter TMI (that's too much information for those unaware) from everyone's favorite former nanny, Fran Drescher. So Fran Fine was getting some action on the side — even though it took her about 4 seasons to nab Mr. Sheffield. (Also, looks as though I'm on The Nanny beat…Yes!) View Image ›
Proving that Fran Fine was way ahead of her time, a new blog takes The Nanny's face and pastes it right over the bodies of models wearing today's hottest fashions. I'm not at all surprised that it works! Of course Fran couldn't afford couture before the show jumped the shark (and she finally married Mrs. Sheffield).
Although the series ended on Friday, the relevance of the Sci Fi series will not be forgotten, especially considering that its cast and crew members were invited to the United frakking Nations last week. And Whoopi Goldberg was there, too. What??? This is almost as important as that time when the cast of The Nanny visited a diner in Queens. Tomato tomahto. Read More ›
America's favorite nanny, Fran Drescher, told New York Magazine that she's ready to "throw her hat in the ring" and possibly run for some sort of office. She says she's qualified, but she still ought to look out for CECE BABCOCK!

I saw this interesting article about using model metadata in ASP.NET MVC to add the aria-required attribute to required input fields. The approaches there are all totally valid and work great if you have the requirement to add the attribute on the server-side.
However, if you're using jQuery unobtrusive validation, you've already got some metadata you can use from the client side. Required fields all get the data-val-required attribute associated with them:
<input data-val="true" data-val-required="This is a required field." id="RequiredField" name="RequiredField" type="text" value="" />
The attribute only exists on required fields. With that, it's easy enough to jQuery your way to freedom and leisure:
$(function () { $('[data-val-required]').attr('aria-required', true); });
...and now all of your required fields have the appropriate ARIA attribute.

Walnut Zucchini Muffins Recipe
Shredded zucchini adds moistness to these tender muffins dotted with raisins and chopped walnuts. "If you have a surplus of zucchini in summer as most of us do, this is a good way to use some of it," assures Harriet Stichter of Milford, Indiana.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the zucchini, walnuts and raisins.
- Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

Sewing Box Transformation
I never took a close-up picture of it. (What was i thinking? Ugh!)
But you can see it in the picture above, just in front of the wicker vase.
It sat in my living room for a while. Not sure what to do with it.
Last week, I spray painted it white.
Nice, but not quite "there" yet.
This morning, I realized all it needed was a little distressing.
This is it now:
I loooooove it! The distressing really shows off all the details.
I will be using it for scrapbook storage. Much cuter than dollar store plastic stuff, no?!
This is my contribution for Met Monday @ Susan's @ Between Naps On The Porch!
(see, Susan! I was able to find SOMETHING for this week's party! teehee)

Chevron Sleeves
Stretchy, comfy sleeves with little chevrons marching down your arms! Brilliant!
This pattern is also available in our O Chevrons, Longer O Chevrons, A Chevrons, and B Chevrons. Made in the USA.
Fiber Content: 68% recycled cotton, 17% acrylic, 10% nylon, 5% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Sizing Tips: These are about 13" to 14" long and easily stretch to 17-18" around! On people with smaller arms, these will probably go up to the middle of the upper arm, while folks with longer or wider arms will find that these come to rest comfortably at the elbow and bell out around their fingers.
*Our newer pink yarn is slightly darker and has more orange tones than the previous 'baby pink' yarn we formerly used in our Dream Stockings socks. All images will be updated soon. Thanks for your patience!
Additional Info: One end has a raw hem, but due to the chevron pattern, it won't unravel... Once you put yours on, the unfinished hem rolls neatly up and looks lovely!
These can be worn with the elasticized band at the top and the wider, curled-up edge at the bottom (like an arm warmer that bells out around the hand), or the other way around (more like an actual sleeve).
Label: Dream Stockings
I cannot possibly express the sheer force of my utter delight that your Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs (Striped and Solid versions) actually go up to my thighs on my fairly long and very curvy legs. I own four pairs of that particular style now, and plan on purchasing more!
