Election nearly wipes out white Southern Democrats
WASHINGTON The white Southern Democrat - endangered since the 1960s civil rights era - is sliding nearer to extinction.
After this week's elections, the Democratic Party barely holds a presence in the region outside of majority-black urban areas such as Atlanta and Memphis. The carnage for the party was particularly brutal in the Deep South, where just one white Democrat survived across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
The Republicans' effort to win over the South, rooted decades ago in a strategy to capitalize on white voters' resentment of desegregation, is all but complete.
"Right now in most of Dixie it is culturally unacceptable to be a Democrat. It's a damn shame, but that's the way it is," said Dave "Mudcat" Saunders, a campaign strategist for conservative Democrats such as Jim Webb of Virginia, one of the few remaining Southern Democratic senators.
The losses were particularly disappointing for the party after the baby steps it made in the South in 2006 and 2008, when it picked up a host of Republican-leaning House districts and won Senate seats in North Carolina and Virginia. Many thought the party had learned its lessons and had begun to reverse recent history by nominating conservative candidates who hit the right notes on divisive social issues such as abortion and smaller government.
None of it mattered Tuesday.
Democrats didn't just see most of their recent gains obliterated, they lost at least 19 Southern House members and a senator, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. Even some of the most conservative Democrats such as four-term Rep. Jim Marshall of Georgia and 10-term Rep. Gene Taylor of Mississippi couldn't withstand the wave. It also snared such veterans as John Spratt of South Carolina, the 14-term chairman of the House Budget Committee, and 14-term Rep. Rick Boucher of Virginia.
When the new Congress convenes in January, there will be at most 16 white Southern Democratic House members out of 105 seats in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. Two races in Virginia and Kentucky were still too close to call, so the total could be as low as 14.
The setback continues a four-decade decline for Democrats in the South, where they once dominated. The slide began after the civil rights movement, when Republicans under President Richard Nixon began employing a Southern strategy to retake the region by appealing to white anger over desegregation. The GOP later highlighted liberal Democratic positions on social and welfare issues.
Most of the losing Democrats this year were moderates representing Republican-leaning districts. And the challenges could get even tougher for Southern Democrats as legislatures begin redrawing congressional districts from the 2010 census.
With some exceptions, including Mississippi and Louisiana, Republicans control statehouses across the South. They picked up North Carolina and Alabama on Tuesday.
The legislatures are likely to loop more conservatives into swing districts that still vote Democratic, making it even harder for white Southerners to hold on in the future.
The party's conservative Blue Dog coalition, which was founded in part by Southerners after the last Republican landslide in 1994, lost more than half of its 54 members, many in the South but others in swing states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as conservative-leaning Western states.

Hiero And Chosen Few Come Together For Second Song From The Mansion SeriesThe Song:Sporting 1980's garb for the single cover art, in vein of Spike Lee's film Do The Right Thing, the tone is set from the jump for the latest single in The Mansion series, with Cold Showda (of Chosen Few) dressed as Spike and Pep Love as Radio Raheem. Harkening back to a similar era, the new single "Easy 2 Find," produced by Unjust of Chosen Few, features jazz horn chops and vibrant electric piano over a powerful drum break. Neither rapper holds back, attacking with a fast flow and intricate rhyme schemes. "Psychological warfare I feel for assault/ Well I'm exactly what your band not /Got me off of your mix like a ham hock/ beans and cornbread OH to Oakland," raps Cold Showda, dropping reference to the respective hometowns of Chosen Few and Hiero. The song represents "a battle between love and hate," says Showda in regard to the "oversaturated, regurgitated music of today."Keeping in line with the single artwork, fans can also look forward to a video for "Easy 2 Find," echoing the Spike Lee concept.Stream and download "Easy 2 Find" here: http://damansion.bandcamp.com/track/easy-2-find-2 .Fans can stay tuned to http://www.hieroglyphics.com and http://www.damansion.bandcamp.com for more free goodies from the Hiero camp.

Canibus & Keith Murray - "The Undergods" on May 31st
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Underground legends Canibus & Keith Murray plan to release the follow up to last years self-titled "Undergods" EP on May 31st. "In Gods We Trust, Crush Microphones To Dust", the full length effort by The Undergods is Executive Produced by Erick Sermon (in conjunction with Canibus & Keith) and A&R'd by M-Eighty of Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture, The Academy, and 4 HRSMN fame. In addition to appearances by Tech N9ne, Crooked I & Planet Asia, the beats are supplied by Erick Sermon, Jake One and more. With all of these key players lending their skills to this project, "In Gods We Trust" is a virtual "who's-who" of the underground. With the first single "Undergods Roll" produced by Jake One, Canibus & Keith lay out their plan for underground domination on their own terms without even taking a breath for a hook. Coming together several years ago, these titans of the underground formed "The Undergods" and released an EP on iTunes with the intent on it being a one off side project. But after receiving acclaim from both critics and the fans, Canibus and Murray returned to the studio to turn what was initially a side project, into a full fledged album. The result is 18 tracks of pure fire with a "take no prisoners" attitude against the industry and the haters. With Canibus being one of the best lyrical freestyle rappers of all time, Canibus truly has few equals when it comes to spitting off the dome. After his first album "Can-I-Bus", Canibus followed up releasing "2000 B.C." and "C True Hollywood Stories" which topped the Billboard 200 chart at #34 and #97 in 2001. Canibus remained staying in the mainstreams rearview having released 10 full length albums (Including last years successful "Melatonin Magik") with aggregate sales of 432,000. After 15 plus years, Canibus has placed himself as a cornerstone of the underground. Keith Murray, a legend in his own right, broke into the game nearly 20 years ago and has continued to be a mainstay since. After releasing his debut album in 1994 (which was awarded 4 mics by The Source), Murray joined Erick Sermon and Redman as a member for The Def Squad, best known for their cover of Sugarhill Gang's "Rappers Delight". After his release from Def Jam Records, Murray released two successful independent records with Koch Records (now eOne). With appearances by Tech N9ne, Crooked I, Erick Sermon, Planet Asia & Jake One, The Undergods look to fulfill their motto – "In Gods We Trust, Crush Microphones To Dust".

Under the Influence of Sparks
In the beginning, there were Sparks, and the brothers Ron and Russell Mael, who led this constantly changing band, caused multiple fires that turned into proto-punk, New Wave, synth-pop and other alternative rock forms that persist to this day. Too tense, too effete and yet too violent for that laid-back early '70s Los Angeles scene in which they were born, the Maels instead pointed to the future with their clipped, crunchy guitars, treble-y Rickenbacker basses, operatic falsetto vocals, Broadway melodies and rapid-fire keyboards that pounded out stiff and steady eighth notes like Johnny Ramone would soon slam from his six strings. Sparks were smart -- smarter lyrically, melodically and harmonically than rock was originally designed to be -- and that cleverness at first actually creeped people out.
But soon their influence was everywhere, particularly in England, the Maels' adopted home. Their 1974 single "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us" kicked off a U.K. hit streak that lasted until the brothers tried to bring their success back to Hollywood. Off they fled once again, this time to Munich, where they worked with electronic pioneer Giorgio Moroder, whose production on their 1979 album, No. 1 in Heaven, another European hit, helped bridge disco and rock. The early '80s albums that followed shaped the decade's sounds, particularly with their crashing snares and neon-bright hooks.
This fall, the brothers Mael are taking their Two Hands, One Mouth tour back across America. Ron plays his keyboards, Russell sings, and that's it. But believe us, what comes of that particular combination adds up to more than what's offered by many ensembles three times the size. In this playlist, we've connected some of Sparks' most influential phases to the bands and singers most indebted to them. Call it fan Mael, if you like.

I have had the pleasure of being a NASCAR Foundation volunteer since 2006. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences. What I like best is that I am able to be a hands on volunteer instead of only being able to write a check. I've had the opportunity to meet some of the children and families who benefit from our fundraising efforts and it is a life changing experience. Executive Director Sandy Marshall and her staff are outstanding professionals and humanitarians. I appreciate that the NF takes great care in keeping their administrative costs very low so most every penny of every dollar goes directly to the programs served. Without hesitation I would support and ask others to support The NASCAR Foundation.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
being able to interact with children and families served by the organization and see how critical the program services are to their lives.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
try to expand the areas of service throughout the country.

Quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Matt Cassel were knocked out of their games with head injuries Sunday, and Steelers star safety Troy Polamalu limped off the field after aggravating his strained right calf.
RG3 sustains concussion; Polamalu re-injures calf
Redskins rookie Griffin sustained a "mild concussion," according to coach Mike Shanahan, when he took a shot to the helmet while scrambling to try to avoid a sack during Washington's 24-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Griffin left the game about 10 minutes in to the second half and did not return. He also was treated for a cut on his chin.
"He wasn't sure what quarter it was in the third quarter. So at that time, when he wasn't really sure what the score was, what the quarter was, we knew he had a mild concussion — at least according to the doctors," Shanahan said.
Team spokesman Tony Wyllie said Griffin was examined by a neurologist in the locker room before being sent home from the team's stadium and will be evaluated again Monday. NFL rules require a player diagnosed by the team medical staff with a concussion to sit out the rest of the game. The player also can't return to practice or game action until a team doctor and independent neurologist clear him.
About three hours after the game, Griffin wrote on Twitter: "I'm ok and I think after all the testing I will play next week."
Cassel, Kansas City's quarterback, left with a head injury in the fourth quarter after getting hit by Baltimore's Haloti Ngata while attempting a pass. Cassel remained flat on his back for several minutes before getting helped up and walking off the field under his own power. Backup Brady Quinn entered the game to a round of applause.
Cassel was 9 of 15 for 92 yards and two interceptions when he left the game won by Baltimore 9-6.
Polamalu left Pittsburgh's 16-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the first quarter. He limped off following a fumble by Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. The 2010 NFL Defensive Player of the Year watched the entire second quarter from a seat on the bench and did not move. He was replaced by backup Ryan Mundy.

As brand ambassador, Karylle jump-starts the 46-year-old jewelry company's campaign with a video titled "Sacred Vows," directed by Mark Meily.
"It is like being engaged to yourself. It is a brilliant concept that aims to inspire and remind people that loving one's self is the key to one's happiness," Karylle says. "At this day and age, one does not need someone else to have an engagement ring or a dream diamond or any precious jewels, for that matter. It's the best gift of love you can give yourself."
I fondly call Karylle "Katniss" since she has a striking resemblance to Jennifer Lawrence (who portrays Katniss in "Hunger Games"). And just like the character in that blockbuster movie, she has definitely learned how to be her own hero, bejeweled and all.
If you were a jewel, what would you be and why?
I'd be a sapphire, precious and unique. Loved by royalty.
What's your dream wedding like?
I haven't thought about it. I do want my family and friends to be there to bless me and my husband-to-be. Since I will invite family and friends, a small wedding is out of the question. A memorable wedding that I attended was that of my friends Nicolo and Izza Hallare, in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan.
Has Yael (Yuzon) given you a ring or any piece of jewelry? How did you feel? If not yet, what's his best gift so far?
A mockingjay pin. Alam mo naman ako, fan ng "Hunger Games" and feeling Katniss Everdeen. The fact that he took my Lola Kating on a shopping spree in Las Vegas is priceless.
How close are you to Dolphy?
I don't get to see him much. I visited him a couple of times in the hospital.
The Miladay ad goes, "The new love of your life is You." What's one extravagant thing you've done or bought for yourself?
More of eating out. But I'm going to Miladay, papagawa ko ng bagong design yung mga jewelry na bigay ng mom ko at namana ko sa paternal lola ko. I think they call it litter glitter.
Don't you and Zia (Quizon) have sibling rivalry? Who do you think is the better singer, you or Zia?
I don't think people realize how proud I am to be Zia's sister. She has the most amazing voice. She has so much soul, no amount of technique can match that. Of course, siya ang may pinakamagandang voice sa amin. Plus, she's so sweet and an amazing songwriter, too. When I first saw her onstage, I stopped judging people na (who are) stage mothers. Ganun pala talaga ang mararamdaman mo (That's what you'll feel). I can't wait for mom, Zia and I to have a concert tour. Yun ang dream (That's the dream) project ng (of) Lolo (Grandpa)Sonny Padilla ko. Assignment ko raw yun (That's my assignment).
How's your mom coping with Dolphy's delicate situation?
Of course it's hard because people don't realize that she's the breadwinner now. She has a lot of bills to pay because they have nurses and orderlies on the staff and she pays the hospital as well. She's lucky to have many people who love her. I just wish her parents and siblings live close by— they are all in Vegas. But my sisters and I are here for her naman.

An 11-year veteran to the business, Shaliek is a soulful R&B singer from the Bronx and he's ready to let you hear his music.
He grew up in a house of music lovers where his love of R&B began. "It just always intrigued me. I was always moved by soulful voices and rich music," Shaliek told S2S.
A new recording contract with Pendulum Records has given him a second chance at the career that he has been working for since he started performing around the house at age 5.
His mother played an important role in making sure that he got back in the studio for the second time. He credited her for nurturing his determination. "My mother just raised us to never accept failure. You gotta keep pushing," Shaliek said.
"The album talks about real life situations and real love situations," he said of his latest release.
One song in particular, "Blood Sweat Tears," became the inspiration for one of his latest tracks and the title of his EP. "It really symbolizes my grind and my struggle in the business because I came a long way from having a major record deal, to not having it anymore," Shaliek explained.
He added, "I wrote this song basically talking about how I put my blood, sweat, tears into this particular female and I wound up using it as the title of my album because I put my blood sweat and tears into this whole project."
Sure enough, Shaliek he has not let anything from his past hold him back. This summer you can expect Shaliek to be busy performing and working on finishing his album for its release this August. Until then, you can listen to "Past," the first single on his new album, Blood Sweet Tears.

Students Getting Free Lunch
As a military family, we decided to live off post just so that our child could get a great education. Our expectations have been exceeded. Her teacher is great, and she seems to really love her job. Thanks to her help, my litte struggling reader is back on track. Office staff has always been professional, helpful, and just plain awesome. I would recommend this school to any family!
Parents, your children are not there for the office staff. They are there for the education. While most people try to be friendly, it is not always possible. Some can be aloof, standoffish, or pre-occupied. Could they be nicer in the office Sure! However, be grateful that your children are receiving a great education from qualified teachers. In Hawaii, this is rare. So count your blessings!
I don't know what the problem is. Don't know what you folks are talking about. Stop using this site as a place for your minor grudges! Focus on your childrens education!! There is two sides to a story. There is a handful who had a bad run in. But I bet you folks aren't as sweet as you folks pretend to be?? I'm here to to side with the office staff! Very organized, very helpful!! Very considerate.
I have to agree with the parent below who supports the office staff. All the complaints come in spurts. One person for every spurt. Do you realize these ladies do over 200 new enrollments per year..that is only kindergarten alone!! Not counting the upper grade levels. I come from a school background. If the complaints are 4-5 to 800..you people need to check yourselves!!
I completely agree with all the comments on the admin staff. They really do make you feel a bit uncomfortable. I have witnessed their rudeness to other parents and myself. I have heard many comments in regards to their attitude and hope that this site provides awareness as to where changes need to be made. In regards to academics this school is absolutely exceptional. My child has since graduated but I was very happy with her academic standing at this school and feel it has helped her succeed and continue to do exceptionally well in middle school.
I thought I was the only parent that encountered the VERY UNFRIENDLY & VERY RUDE & UNHAPPY OFFICE STAFF!!! It's as if they HATE THIER JOBS!!! I myself have reported this to the district office!!! Besides that the teachers are excellent!!! TEACHERS 10+ OFFICE STAFF -0
My son was a 2nd grader at this school for one month. I found the office staff to be rude and very condescending. We have never had this type of experience with a school and I was very surprised. I believe the quality of education is good, but the snobby office staff needs customer service training. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give them a 2.
Yes, I agree regarding office staff, as a parent myself, I would like to be able to walk into the office and feel invited and welcomed. Instead, I feel like I'm burdening\bothering them when I need to pick up my child's homework, or have a simple question. I shouldn't have to feel intimidated walking into my own child's schools office. I have been to other school's offices (in comparison) and it's completely opposite. I don't feel it's fair that nothing be done despite numerous complaints. If the school had a better office staff, I'd rate the school a perfect 10, but if staff stays an 8.
Strongly agree about the office staff not being friendly or inviting. They work with children and some have their children at the school. They need to smile and love their job. I'm going to report them to the district office and hopefully we could get better staff in that office. Other than that teachers are awesome! Love this school!
We are thinking about getting our child into this school, but your comment about keeping the special needs children "out of the way" struck a chord; that is how we felt with our child at Mililani Ike. The school is just getting a check in the block for compliance without moving toward mainstreaming children who have potential, but require more attention.
We have been very impressed with this school. I believe my children have learned all they needed to prepare them for the next level.
MMES is one of the best schools I have ever experienced. As a parent of two boys I couldn't be happier with the school. The academic standards are very high, and the principal had ensured that this students maintain very high achievements. Her leadership and guidance also help the school and students earn extra awards and achievements. The resources available to students are amazaing, from a full science lab and FT science teacher, to Hawaiian and Japanese studies, music, PE, and additional reading and writing instruction from a resource teacher. This is all standard, and if you have any special needs, they have speech pathologists. reading tutors and lots of extra help for students that need it. I am so impressed by the faculty and resources at this school. There are lots of educational field trips and a volunteer coordinator that schedules most of the volunteers that are not volunteering in the classroom directly. They truly value students, parents and volunteers at this school and it my great pleasure to be part of this school. PS If you're moving from the mainland this is one of the best elementary schools in the state. Give it a chance! It's a Military friendly school.
One little setback: the PRINCIPAL needs to SMILE MORE OFTEN, especially out in public at the beginning and end of each class day. Mahalo.
The teachers are excellent. They obviously enjoy teaching and love working with kids. The field trips and parent/child programs are terrific. However, because of the high standards for academic excellence (which is a good thing, of course!) kids who learn differently aren't fully welcome in the regular classroom. There is a strong push from administration to put special needs children into resource rooms for most or all learning. It gives an impression that these children must be kept out of the way of the students who are expected to succeed easily.
There are not so good office staff, but other than that, the school is awesomely great!!!
My grandchild been going to Mililani Mauka for the past 3 years. I have never thought there was others that was rudely treated by the office staff and V.P. Yes, I could see that the V.P. is very controlling and rude, the Principle is controlled by the V.P. Many times I walked in to the office, the office staff would be busy talking story until I would have to say 'Excuse me', then I would be helped. The office staff should remember that there are many qualified and helpful people out there looking for a job. As for the teachers, they are all awesome. Their interaction, love and respect they had showed my grandchild, it made her want to learn more. My rating for the teachers is an AWESOME 10.
Mililani Mauka is a great school. My child just loves this school! The teachers my child has had have been great! The curriculum is very challenging. I feel that success for any child starts at home. It is not the schools responsibility alone to teach our kids. The only complaint I have about this school is that they seem to always want to fundraise. We just got a survery about fundraiser for next year and our year isn't over yet. They do 3 fundraisers back to back in the beginning of the school year, plus collecting for tshirts, yearbooks, field trips and more. Doesn't the Principal know we are in a recession?
I noticed that most of the complaints are done durning registration time. Could the reason be that these ill feelings come from registration not being processed due to incomplete paperwork? There is two sides to a story. We often forget to evaluate how we came off to someone to cause a reaction as such. My child attends Mauka and I sometimes volunteer there. I am confident that my child is being treated fairly and is safe. Involving the children is a poor way to get a voice across. If feelings of unfriendliness or unwill to help is really the issue there is a more productive way then trying to get parents riled up. I am pretty sure if a child was being mistreated it would of been out...
I have also experiened rude, unwill to assit office help, but recently I notice they jump up from their desks and run to the counter to assit. I can't but help to wonder if they read GreatSchools.com too! I really like Mauka. They rated 2nd in the state in testing last year. The teachers really push the kids to do their best..which can be good and bad (too much presure on the kids to keetp up). But overall, it is an excellent school.
I am a parent of a child that attends MMES. I have been in the office on several occations. The office staff workers are wonderful. I have witnessed first hand while waiting for my child in the office how rude some of these parents get to them when told they can't have it their way or can't do a certain thing. We as parents or visitors need to realize that these individuals have a job to do. They have rules and procedures. They follow it to a T and are fair all the way around. No special treatment for anyone. It is the ones who think they are above everyone else who get upset when rules are enforced upon them. My question to the most recent post is'What didn't they allow you do do'? They have told me 'no' several times. Oh well that's life. Rules/ Procedures...there everywhere we go!!
This school is excellent. My kids have attended this school for the past three years and I am very pleased with their progress. The teachers are really good and the standards are high. One of the best in Oahu! Go Eagles!
I'm quite impressed with this school. My child another atteneded another school on Oahu and progress was limited. At Mililani Mauka, my child was challenged and has shown tremendous growth his first year there. Teachers seem to work well together as a team and curriculum is quite rigorous. Having my child at Mauka has been the best thing for my family.
This school is over rated, no programs and extra activities compared to other public schools on Oahu. We moved from Kaneohe to Mililani and wished we did not....School and homes are poorly made.
My son is in Kindergarten and really loves it. This is the best school on Oahu that we could find that doesn't cost 15,000 to go to. Parent involvement it appreciated. There is so much to learn here in Kindergarten. My son is learning Japanese, Hawaiian, and sometimes they learn about other cultures . I volunteer quite a bit and too be honest I think a permanent assistant would be a great idea for this school. Parents do not seem to volunteer as much here because most parents have to work because of the high cost of living. I would recommend this school to anyone. My son has learned so much. They have to get up in front of the class and speak about their journal or sharing time. This really helps the shy kids to come out of their shell.
We lived in HI for only one year and my two children attended this school. The school culture is very rigid. Lots of consequences for lack of responsibility. This was actually a good thing as I saw tremendous progress being made academically. If your child can rise to a challenge and be tough emotionally, this is the school to go to.
This first rate school has been somewhat handicapped by having to provide for two separate schools on one campus this year. This caused the population to rise to 1250. The new school will open this month and the population will fall to normal levels. In spite of the crowding, the school earned highest ratings from a Honolulu Magazine study, was nominated as a Blue Ribbon school, and has exceeded NCLB/AYP requirements easily.
My son attended this school from K through 5. He and his classmates received an excellent foundation education plus had opportunities to explore science, music (both chorus and strings), and high-level math in a safe, challenging supportive environment. The current principal is outstanding. She is hardworking, intelligent, and committed to the success of all of the children. (some of the other comments sound suspiciously like 'sour grapes'.) This is the best K-5 education on Oahu and it doesn't cost $12,000 per year.
My children attended Mililani Mauka Elementary from 3rd grade until 6th grade. The school is very beautiful, it has quite a bit of up to date equipment. Unfortunately the volume of work at this school is rather high. After inquiring with a specific teacher if they are looking for quality or quantity. The response is they want both, the student teacher ratio is higher than stated, the school is over populated. The office staff is rather rude and not very quick to help. Administration will look into a parents concern but not necessarily follow up on it. My children were both pulled out of the middle of 6th grade and returned to their old schools
One of the best public on Oahu, unfortunately the State school systems overall performance is poor. There is no local control over the school system. The principal works for the unions and the money coming out of the state is based on political ties. This makes the local population less willing to be involved in the system.
I have two children currently at this school and have been here for a few years. This school has it's good and bad points to it. It is in a nice neighborhood and has a good selection of teachers and staff. Some of their programs are outstanding and others need work. Their PE program is one of the best that I have seen. As with any school, there are teachers that really have the students in mind, and ones that are just there doing make-work with the students. The facilities are all very nice and well supplied. Unfortunately, it's the parents that are having to supply the school with most of the things that it uses. The office staff in unbelievably rude and uncooperative. The Vice Principal is very controling and the principal is equally the flip side of the coin and is totally run over by the desires of the V.P. If you are willing and able, the more that you Volunteer your time with this school, the better you will be accepted. Otherwise, if you want to be involved in your childs' education, homeschool. This school only requires notification and testing at certain grade levels.

2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 Problems
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
Water can damage the weight sensor in the front, passenger seat, causing the SRS (airbag) light to illuminate. There is an electrical component in the seat cushion susceptible to fluid damage. Any spills should be dried up immediately in order to try and prevent damage to the sensor.

Corporations are taking control
In my life time there has never been a greater threat to democratic freedom and representative government than allowing corporations unfettered rights to influence elections with money. While we kept our eyes on the threat of Communism subverting our way of life, unbridled capitalism sneaked in the back door.
People my age, look around: is this what you wanted your country to look like back in the 1950s? Corporations that cheat people out of their money without consequence. Corporations that move their plants overseas for cheaper labor, without any regard for the people who depend on them for their livelihood and are given tax breaks for doing it. Corporations that destroy our country and kill us with poisons without consequence.
The America we knew in the '50s is no more. The promise that was to be our future has turned into a nightmare of corporate greed. A dwindling middle class. A disparity between haves and have-nots greater than at anytime in our history. And a government that puts the peoples' needs second to the wants of the corporations.
Now the court has given corporations the rights to spend as much to influence elections as it wants, even if they are not American. This is a right that you cannot take advantage of, unless you also have the money. So we end with rule by the rich for the rich.
Is that what you wanted?
Paul D Shanabarger, New Springfield
Paul....Unfortunately you don't have to look any further than the posts on this board to find the people that are getting screwed over cheering these corporations on.
The law that lets unlimited contributions will guarantee that special interest will have a stronger grip on our elections and our representatives.
Recently Meg Whitman won the Republican primary for Governor of California. She spent 81 million dollars to win the PRIMARY. You can believe she will spend as much or more in the general election in November.
A new law also is effect that California will now have open primaries. That means that the top two vote getter's in the primaries will run in the general election. The guy Whitman beat in the primary spent 27 million. In an open election the two people spending that much money will probably win every time.
It's a sad situation.
Evidently Paul D doesn't know of the $100 million the unions spent to get Obama elected along with the time & effort expended by the late ACORN outfit.
Amend the Constitution to recognize that money is not speech.
I want election reform, no contributions from corporations, no contributions from unions, no contributions from PAC's, no contributions from non-profits. The only legitimate contributions are from individual citizens of voting age limited to $2500 per campaign, and $1000 to the Party of choice.
Ideally elections would be 100% public funded and equally doled out to all candidates regardless of party affiliation.
I'm likely to disagree with the majority opinion of the comments on this story.
Businesses, which provide jobs for us, are afflicted by law passed by politicians just as much, if not more so, than individuals. They most certainly should have 'some' influence into who gets elected.
I would agree, however, that limitations 'should' be put in place on ALL contributors.
USA1 under my public funded option the costs of the campaigns would be significantly reduced, since the state and or federal government would get free airtime on both radio and television since the airwaves are the property of the citizens of the USA.

Shabazz Muhammad was the top rated prospect out of high school, but he didn't live up to expectations during his lone season at UCLA. Ben McLemore wasn't rated nearly as high heading to KU, but ended up being selected seven spots ahead of Muhammad. McLemore came out of nowhere to most. He broke the freshmen record for most points in a season at Kansas. McLemore and Muhammad had different routes to the NBA but now it appears they're having different transitions to the big league as well. Muhammad was sent home from the NBA's rookie program a couple of weeks ago for having a woman in his room. Ben wasn't very fond of Shabazz's actions. Shabazz Muhammad of the Minnesota Timberwolves was actually dismissed from the program for violating a rule and allegedly bringing a female guest into his hotel room. "Very disappointing," McLemore said, asked his reaction. "After they (were) telling us the rules, what not to do, for him to do that … it's just unbelievable after they just explained the different rules to us. "Hopefully he'll learn from his mistakes. Hopefully that won't stop him from being the basketball player who he is, just keep playing, going with his career." It sounds like Ben McLemore is Shabazz Muhammad's father the way he spoke about his disappointment in the Wolves rookie. It'll be interesting to see if Shabazz takes these comments personal and turns this into a rivalry.

I have this in the two lightest shades and apply it with the beauty blender. It oxidizes way less than other foundations I have tried, which is probably the biggest issue for me when it comes to foundation because my skin is so fair. There is a shimmer to it! And it is silicone based. I hatehatehate full coverage cakey makeup, and this is very light, more like tinted moisturizer level coverage. The only thing I really dislike about this foundation is that it has parabens in it, so I try to limit wearing it. If they took the parabens out I'd probably give it 5 stars.

This BB cream has got to be my one of my favourite face products ever!!! I use it almost every day for the last couple of months and I still have quite a bit of product left.The consistency is quite thick but it feels very moisturising when you apply it, especially in winter when my skin tends to get a bit dry.It evens out my skin tone and provides decent coverage considering it's not a foundation and more of a tinted moisturiser.My skin looks very dewy as well.I do however use a concealer under my eyes along with this product and some setting powder.The packaging is quite practical and it does come with a decent amount of product.It is quite pricey but it's okay considering the amount of use I make of it.I would definitely repurchase as this is one of my staples!!!

My favourite tinted moisturiser to date. It blurs imperfections without covering my natural skintone and radiance.
Comes in a squeeze tube, decent amount of product, and very easy to use. It's not likely I'll squeeze out too much product.
Smells lightly of sunscreen, it is SPF15 in Australia.
I am the lightest shade I think, Snow Glow.
I have been using it for probably a year now, not everyday, it really varies. I think I still have about 1/3 of the tube left.
Will definately rebuy, it's a very no-fuss product.

I loooooove this BB cream!! It stays on my face so well! It had light coverage, but that's fine because that's all I really need at 18 years old! & it evens out skin tone really well. Snow Glow was the perfect match for my skin! It doesn't make my face oily & gross, it doesn't wear off even when I sweat (I wore it to prom, where it got really hot & sweaty). It's an amazing product! A bit pricey, but way worth it!

I got this product from Ulta and one of the workers tested it on my face to assure it was the correct color. First of all, this product is very, very yellow-based. I finished the entire tube due to lack of any other foundations at the time and the closer I got to the end, the more sticky and orange the product became. It didn't make my face oily but it did make my face appear to be shiny and oily when I was wearing it, much too shiny for me to label it as "dewy". If I'm remembering properly the texture is relatively good as long as you are not near the end, comparable to Maybelline's BB Cream. The coverage is light, and is good if you want to just even out your facial coloring rather than covering freckles or small imperfections. If you want to cover acne or dark circles at all, concealer is completely necessary as the product has no effect on covering either problem.
My experience was not positive and I would not buy again, however experience probably varies from person to person depending on their undertones and what they need to cover.

Okay let me start by saying I really wanted to like this product. Unfortunately this is one of the worst BB/Tinted moisturizers I've ever bought. I purchased this because I wanted something that I could easily apply on my face and would give me a little coverage when I was in a hurry. I paid $30+ thinking this product would do the job. I was so incredibly disappointed. This product provides no coverage AT ALL!!! All this product does is tint your face a different color. Your blemishes, dark areas on your face, every imperfection shows right through. Not only that but in the sunlight my skin looked orange. I honestly don't know what the point of this product is. Unless you have perfect skin, I wouldn't recommend this product. I could see this product maybe working for a teen that's just getting into makeup...I love love Too Faced products but this was a complete fail.

I really like this cream, but I said I wouldn't repurchase because it costs 36 euros here and I can get The Balm's tinted moisturizer for 12 euros and it is just as good. I also wouldn't repurchase even if there were no difference in price just because I like experimenting with new products that I haven't tried before. But as for this cream itself, it's really nice. I found it gave light, sheer coverage, a little less than the Balm TM. But you can build it up. I apply it with fingers. It gives a nice light coverage, not airbrushed and flawless but I don't like airbrished and flawless look cuz it doesn't look natural, because no one over the age of 16 has naturally perfect skin I think. Looks natural and like you are not wearing anything and just naturally have good, smooth, poreless skin, but not flawless skin. It won't cover everything, I have some melasma from having a baby during the hot, sunny Mediterranean summer and it attenuates the melasma but doesn't cover it up completely. Other than that I have good skin with no blemishes or wrinkles though, so I don't have a lot to cover up. It does look glowy, to me, not oily or greasy, but I don't have oily skin and I appreciate a glow. I'm around NC20-25 and I found the Vanilla Glow was a good match.

I really like this BB cream. I don't have problem skin so I don't need a full coverage foundation. This is perfect for an everyday use. I am nc30 in mac and use the creme glow and looks perfect. I will definitely repurchase this

i really want to like this product cause I find that their eye shadows are amazing. I got the free sample, cream glow color. once I applied, the cream does not absorb to my skin and turn to show bigger pores, greasy looking, and does not hide any of my spots, pimples or even anything. I don't kmow if I got the color wrong but it also turns orange. At the end of the day, my face look darker and dirty, and it's hard to remove cause the product gets so sticky to my face. BB cream does not their thing.

This is without a doubt the worst BB cream ever. It is heavy and greasy from the moment you apply it and slides off shortly after. The finish is an awful metallic looking mess that actually accentuated my wrinkles and flaws! And did I mention it oxidized also? Yuck. Ironically, I like many of Too Faced's other products, but this one is a huge flop. I think Smashbox makes the best BB..

I was just wondering if there was any way to add folders but ask for a password before you can access the movies inside? I have searched but don't think it's possible. It would be nice to add films to the server, but block films that are too violent or gory for kids. I do love the plex app for the iPad and iPhone. So much that I am considering a getting a Mac Mini to leave on all the time as a server, plus I've wanted to try a Mac for a long time. Thanks guys!

Now this is great information. I have a new set of points to inspect.
Well actually, some of this I have looked at. I checked where the bulkheads attach to the hull. This boat has a liner so I'm having a little difficulty seeing where I want to see. The mast, the tabernacle(?), the mounting hardware on the deck seems to be just fine. I need to find and inspect the compression post though, and the chainplates and how they're mounted.
The short answer is, although I really like the boat, I know where to draw the line. I'm not going to go for a "like-new" restoration. I just want to clean her up and sail. The boat came with a nearly new Honda 9.9. I could unbolt that and sell it for more than I paid for the boat.
I know that any boat built with modern materials, and modern design science is going to be better than my boat, I just want to make sure that it's reasonably safe before I head out.

China's government says it is ready to discuss strengthening of cyber security at a high-level forum with U.S. officials next week and wants Washington to help settle territorial disputes in East Asia.
Chinese officials said on Friday that next week's two-day Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington will include talks on finance and climate change. It will include the inaugural gathering of a U.S.- Chinese cyber security group.
Beijing is under U.S. pressure to crack down on cyber spying after security consultants tracked a wave of hacking attacks to China.
An assistant foreign minister, Zheng Zeguang, said Beijing is ready to work with the United States to build a "peaceful, secure, open" online environment.
Mr. Zheng said Beijing wants Washington to "do more to contribute" to settling tensions over the East China Sea and South China Sea.

The Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM), headed by Defence Minister A. K. Antony, on Wednesday, refrained from making any changes to the gas allocation policy.
It also rejected the proposal to cut natural gas supplies to urea plants and divert the same to power plants.
The EGoM decided that fertilizer plants would continue to enjoy the top
priority in gas allocation. "Today's decision is that the requirement of fertilizer for the agriculture sector will be fully protected. While doing that possibilities are being explored whether any additional gas can be made available to the power sector,'' Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily told reporters after the EGoM meeting.
Mr. Moily said the EGoM would meet once again on July 22 to discuss the methodology of making available gas from other sources to the power sector in the short as well as medium term.
"The agriculture season is good, and we need to protect their requirement. At the same time, power should also get gas,'' he remarked.
At present, fertilizer plants consume all of the 14 million standard cubic metres a day of gas produced from Reliance Industries' eastern offshore KG-D6 fields.

Overall Rating
Editor Rated
Consumer Rated
The Discover "it" card has a plethora of consumer-friendly features that make it such a great card for anyone who is searching for a credit card with no annual fee, low interest rates and a great cash back rewards program.
Equipped with a laid-back fee structure, Discover it appears very appealing to consumers who fear the wrath of credit card penalty fees. Cardmembers don't pay a late fee for the first late payment and such an infraction will not lead to an increased APR.
Add on fee-free foreign transactions and you also get a card that frequent overseas travelers would love to have in their wallets.
The Discover it card also comes with an improved cash back program. Cardmembers earn 5% cash back on certain categories per quarter, subject to a quarterly cap. And, cardmembers earn 1% cash back on all other purchases.
With a decent fee structure and attractive cash back program, it very likely that you'll find plenty to boast about with the Discover it card.
Pros Cons Up to 5% cash back Possibility for a high APR Lenient fee structure
Annual fee
Many of Discover's credit cards do not carry an annual fee. Intended as a "game changer," neither does the Discover it card.
Other fees/charges
Discover it touts a lenient fee structure. Cardmembers don't pay a late fee for their first late payment and there is no fee for spending past your credit limit (doesn't mean that you should though).
For the forgetful cardmembers, Discover won't impose a penalty APR when there is a late payment. With most other credit cards, the penalty APR is around 29.99%.
Like all its other cards, Discover does not impose a foreign transaction fee on the "it" card. Cardmembers who travel internationally will not have to worry about hefty fees for using their Discover card on their trips.
Interest rates
The regular APR for the Discover it card is 10.99% to 22.99%, which is a fairly large range. With a good credit score, you could land a low APR of 10.99%, which is better than many credit cards that offer rewards or cash back. But with a tarnished credit history, you could end up with a pricey 22.99% APR.
Discover it has a cash back program similar to that of the Citi Dividend and Chase Freedom cards. Cardmembers get 5% cash back on rotating categories on up to $1,500 spent, which change on a quarterly basis. Note that cardmembers will have to enroll for this bonus cash back every quarter, which can be a tedious chore to some.
All other purchases earn 1% cash back.
The cash back can be used to redeem for cash, merchandise, gift cards or charitable donations.
Discover lets you spend your cash back balance at Amazon.com, but it would be wiser to charge your credit line because you earn cash back on the purchases (you don't earn cash back if you use cash back on an Amazon purchase).
Discover it offers free FICO® Credit Score online and on monthly statements.
As a Discover customer, you have access to 100% U.S.-based customer service-anytime, day and night.
Discover offers a feature-packed mobile application that lets you manage all your Discover accounts. Cardmembers can redeem their cash back for electronic gift codes through the mobile app and use them at a retailer immediately.
Each Discover purchase is monitored. If it's unusual, you're alerted by e-mail, phone or text-and never responsible for unauthorized Discover card purchases.
The Discover it card has a bill payment cutoff time at midnight on the due date, unlike most credit cards that set the deadline at 5 p.m.

Documentation for the roguelike game Angband.
Angband is a single-player, text-based, dungeon simulation derived from the game Moria, which was in turn based on Rogue. This package contains additional documentation and spoilers for the game.
Angband has been written by several generations of programmers over the years, and is derived from an earlier game called moria, and the documentation has been (often haphazardly) accumulated over time as well.
