Electric Daisy Casting Attractive Real-Life Ravers for Festival Movie
Application wants to know the real you, requires 10 photos
Do you want to share your experience under the electric sky? That's not a joke. Those are actual words found on the site for Electric Daisy Carnival 2013, the movie. Insomniac productions are plotting a documentary for this year's Las Vegas EDM blowout, set to run June 21 through 23 with performances by Major Lazer, Avicii, Tiësto, Calvin Harris, Baauer, and Dog Blood (Skrillex and Boys Noize), among others. And what's more, that documentary could be about you.
The folks behind EDC are looking to cast a fan (or fans) in "a major role" for the film. But first they need to make sure you're interesting and not an uggo, okay? The application process requires 10 to 15 photos, answers to a handful of personal questions (one would have you "describe your life ... romantically"), and a five to 10-minute homemade video in which you're to introduce anyone that'll be attending the fest with you. Also: "Be sure your face is very well lit."
The questionnaire is available on the movie's main page and tempting though it might be, we'd advise against entering "TRIP BALLS" for most of the queries. (For instance: "Break down your typical day from the moment you wake up till you call it a night," or "Explain your plans for EDC this year.") Only ticket-holders may apply, as the winner(s) will be followed around with cameras for the entire weekend. Which sounds like a terrible thing to endure while getting one's PLUR on.
A final tip for the introduction video: "One of the most important things you can do is keep your energy level up!" Preaching to the choir on that one, Insomniac.

@Xenon-Hacks hitting copy-paste might not be hard work, but keeping up with all this crap is… plus it's just courtesy to say thanks for having a website running that caters to our anime/manga needs…
July 6th, 2014 at 7:30 pm
Too many handsome dudes in one episode. :\
July 6th, 2014 at 8:22 pm
July 6th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
its not yaoi or it is ?
July 6th, 2014 at 8:43 pm
shonen aoi is not yaoi, so don't assume a bishonen is going to have a bunch of guys doing nasty things with each other. Jeez, the series isn't that bad considering how many bishonen guys there are. Meh, people judge too quickly. The series is a tad odd, but not bad. Though seeing more females would balance out of the characters, but at least it's not a drama feast.
July 6th, 2014 at 8:54 pm
and we continue with the only for girls anime, I'll pass.
July 6th, 2014 at 9:12 pm
thanks….lets see where this goes….i guess….
July 6th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
shounen-ai = boys love = yaoi = nope.mkv
July 6th, 2014 at 10:20 pm
Dammit,so its for girls?
July 6th, 2014 at 10:22 pm
I see Free has started a terrible trend just like K-on and its moe crap.
July 6th, 2014 at 10:45 pm
comparing sport anime with little moe element for girls with anime from author of yaoi games is just silly…….
first episode was very awkward….*not fond of little dogs (but his online form is hot)*
July 6th, 2014 at 11:07 pm
Gonna watch the first episode to see where this goes. If turns out K-like then okay.
July 6th, 2014 at 11:19 pm
Straight basement nerd girl anime. Not fo me.
July 6th, 2014 at 11:20 pm
Hell yeah
July 7th, 2014 at 12:02 am
looool here's the highly anticipated anime for me.
i remember when the game was just coming out… and now the animes out. i need a moment lol.
July 7th, 2014 at 12:45 am
Will give it a shot. people have been saying that this has a Yaoi atmosphere to it on forums, but for some reason I think that is just their homophobia kicking in. I don't want to miss out on a potentially good series because the opinions of some guys who are too scared to watch an anime with all guys. Not to say it will be good, but I don't want to miss out on something that might be good.
July 7th, 2014 at 1:26 am
For those of you who can't use google, this anime is based on a BL game but the anime itself is not classified as BL so I doubt their will be any. Also, it's funny how many of you boys have double-standards. Don't hate on the girls who enjoy bishounen anime; they don't hate on you for watching the crap you watch. Have you forgotten 51% of the world's population is female? If so, there is a reminder. Have a nice day.
July 7th, 2014 at 2:00 am
I tried it, but one notices the hair was long on a dude, and tries to touch it, I stopped. and the characters looked cool, so major disappointment for me
July 7th, 2014 at 2:29 am
Too many homophobe hypocrites everywhere lol
July 7th, 2014 at 3:54 am
hmm lots of pretty boys but with something like a Augmented reality i'll take a go.
July 7th, 2014 at 5:54 am
Girl needs their anime, let's not hate.
July 7th, 2014 at 10:23 am
I don't mind a mainly male cast… in fact I'm kinda tired of how characters that should be males are replaced with attractive, girly girl female leads just for eye candy.
What I don't care for is a bunch of males that have zero masculinity to them at all. Griffith from Berzerk is a prime example of a what a 'pretty boy' is. Males from shows like the anime K are basically flat chested women.
Whenever I watch an older movie such as The Last Samurai(Tom Cruise), I wonder if all the badass Japanese men died out… The actors in that movie are what a Samurai/warrior should look like.
July 7th, 2014 at 10:25 am
Never heard of this. I'll give it a shot.
July 7th, 2014 at 11:23 am
@Grimmire you sure sound very (whatever hell country) you came from.
By the way this is an anime for girls so expect them to act gay.
July 7th, 2014 at 2:35 pm
Interesting stylization of characters, plot seems rather weak (essentially the same thing as SAOII) and the ending of, "I've never played before but I got this super-awesome hidden move!" is confusing. Still, with how SAOII and that assassination anime were, this may be the only thing I'll be able to watch this season. I'll at least give it a couple more episodes.
July 7th, 2014 at 6:46 pm
aint this from that yaoi vn, i think i saw this somewhere before, the game i mean
July 7th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
A serious disappointment at best. Thought it looked interesting so I decided to give it the ole college try… aaaannndddd it turned out to be complete shit.
July 7th, 2014 at 9:01 pm
Welp, this one is shit, pass.
July 7th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
anyone else getting a really bad framerate when the show starts after the opening?
July 10th, 2014 at 11:37 am
@zeondx you do know this was also a gay porn game right? Speaking of which, anyone know what ending they're going for? The 'true' ending, I'd assume.

Current and ongoing research projects:
Analysis of stylization through extreme variation
My dissertation continues what my second qualifying paper started. Based on the observation that stylistic variation often occurs on the extreme edges of a speaker's normal repertoire, I am developing a quantitative methodology for identifying extremely stylized tokens. In basic terms, I have found that the distributions for stylistically-salient variables are far from normal in the statistical sense. Rather, they contain additional modes or "humps" on the extreme edges of their distributions. These modes are clusters of extreme tokens, which I argue to be perceptually-distinct (or "stylized") productions. So far, I have explored this kind of variation in the vocalic domain, examining extreme vowel tokens along the F1 and F2 axes, but I expect to expand this theory further to a variety of other quantitative sociophonetic variables. I will be presenting some of this work at the upcoming LSA annual meeting. A pilot phase of this study examined a prototypical jock and a burnout from Penny Eckert's famous Detroit-area ethnographic study (presented at NWAV 42); my qualifying paper incorporated speakers from the Voices of California corpus. To supplement, my dissertation will include speakers from a variety of dialect and age backgrounds.
Acoustic analysis of sibilants in inland California:
Together with Rob Podesva, I am analyzing the sibilant /s/ in the speech of white speakers from Redding, California in particular, but also from Merced and Bakersfield, California. Not only are we attempting to refine acoustic measurement methodology for these consonants, but we are also seeking to ascertain how these features are used by speakers with "country" orientation vis-à-vis those with "town" orientation, as well as considering the other social factors of sex, age, and education. An important focus of our work is how these country/town identities intersect with sexuality and gender identity. Two forthcoming papers lay out our findings thus far.
Acoustic analysis of the low-back vowels in inland California :
Together with Annette D'Onofrio, Penny Eckert, Rob Podesva, and Teresa Pratt, I am investigating the character and dynamics of the low/back vowels TRAP, LOT, and THOUGHT in inland, non-urban California English. While the low-back merger has long been considered to be a flagship feature of California speech, the exact character of the merger is up for debate. Additionally, with TRAP-retraction (backing and lowering) occurring for California speakers who participate in the California Vowel Shift (CVS), there is some question as to which vowel is the lowest anchor in the vowel space. In an upcoming panel at the American Dialect Society annual meeting, and a contribution to an upcoming Publication of the American Dialect Society (PADS), we will lay out our findings for these vowels in the inland California communities of Merced, Redding, and Bakersfield.
Longitudinal morphosyntactic analysis of African American English:
Handout for Coding and Transcription Protocols for DDM analysis
For several years now, much of my research focus has been analyzing the development of African American English (AAE) in the speech of children. The data come from a longitudinal corpus housed in the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute. Independently, and in partnership with Walt Wolfram, my work has focused largely on conducting morphosyntactic analysis of variation in the speech of children over the early lifespan. Primarily, I have used a Dialect Density Measure (DDM) to count the relative number of AAE features per utterance of speech, as a means of operationalizing "vernacularity" for these speakers at different points in the lifespan. Using the DDM as a variable in regression analysis has been useful in associating the use of AAE with other social measures such as academic achievement, mental health, ethnic identity, demographic information, and more. In addition, I've conducted dyadic analysis between the children and their peers' speech, to appear in a forthcoming article. Recently our team has successfully collected post-high school interviews with the 60+ speakers remaining in the sample, adding another time point to the longitudinal analysis. After presenting in the so-called "PANEL panel" at this past Methods in Dialectology XV conference, Walt Wolfram and I are contributing a chapter to a special volume on the topic, to be published in 2015.
Analysis of tense/aspect in African American English:
In addition to morphosyntactic analysis, the Frank Porter Graham corpus of longitudinal African American English lends itself nicely to other analyses as well. For Charlie Farrington and me, it's a great place to examine the development and use of tense/aspect features particular to AAE. At this point, we are working primarily with aspectual be, which is difficult to study in a traditional variationist paradigm. At the upcoming LSA, we will be presenting a construction- and semantic-based analysis of aspectual be using the FPG corpus.
Acoustic analysis of consonantal variation in ethnic American Englishes:
I've also long been concerned with how ethnic identity is manifest in phonetic production, particularly in lesser-studied features such as consonants. Particularly, I've examined the consonant /l/ in two ethnic communities: African Americans from central North Carolina and Mexican Americans from Southern Texas. I've been primarily concerned with refining measurement methodology for /l/ as well as examining what, if any, change this feature is exhibiting over apparent time in these communities, and examining neighboring European American communities as well to see the extent to which the feature is parallel, divergent, or convergent over time. Particularly with the African Americans my apparent time approach has been longitudinally extensive, including the analysis of ex-slave recordings in addition to living speakers. In addition to /l/, for the Mexican Americans, Erik Thomas and I have investigated these patterns in other relevant consonants, including /r/, VOT, and /ð/. Thus far, this work has shown how consonantal variation can be powerfully indicative of ethnic identity and changing perspectives in communities over time. To this end, Erik Thomas and I have written a chapter on consonantal variation in Chicano English, to appear in a forthcoming volume on Latino English (also edited by Erik Thomas).
Acoustic analysis of voice-onset time in Korean stops:
Together with Rob Podesva, Annette D'Onofrio, Jeremy Calder, Eric Acton, Hsin-Chang Chen, Sam Bowman and Benjamin Lokshin, we are investigating the effects of linguistic and social factors on phoneme categorization of Seoul Korean stops. We are seeking to see where and how acoustical manipulation of voice-onset time (VOT) for Korean stops affects the perceptual determination of either lenis or aspirated stops. So far, our experiments with 30 native speakers of Seoul Korean, all of whom listened 10 speakers' productions of /CVn/ tokens which had been manipulated incrementally for voice-onset time, show that the listeners are significantly likely to use social factors as well as phonetic cues to categorize stops as either lenis or aspirated, to differing degrees. Therefore, it so far appears as though social information is as important as phonetic information in perception for these features.
Syntactic structure of the Lithuanian and Kazakh noun phrases:
For my first qualifying paper, I focused on the syntactic structure of the Lithuanian noun phrase. Specifically, I investigated how the movement and extraction properties of prenominal elements in the noun phrase may or may not be direct extraction, or copy/movement with variable PF interpretation. Some linguists of Slavic languages have posited a link between a language's possession of definite articles and the inability to extract prenominal elements in that language. Lithuanian shares a lot of similar properties to Slavic languages, including the ability to extract prenominal elements. However, Lithuanian differs from most Slavic languages in that it has a definiteness marker. With this paper I was able to show that extraction phenomena in Lithuanian have little or nothing to do with the existence of a DP, but rather have everything to do with contrastive marking on elements of the noun phrase. My superivising committee for this project were Vera Gribanova, Tom Wasow, and Penny Eckert. Together with James Collins, I've added to this research by investigating similar phenomena in Kazakh noun phrases. This work has extended into an in-depth analysis of the Izafet construction and regular possessive constructions in Kazakh noun phrases.
English as a world language:
Not only is English's power, for better or for worse, clearly evident in the legacy of British colonization worldwide, but in the last centuries, we've seen English emerging as a lingua franca even in countries with no colonial connection to the language. And, in some cases, it is no longer a lingua franca as much as it has become an alternative national language. To what extent is koineization occuring in such places, where English is no longer spoken as a foreign language/lingua franca, but is instead exhibiting systematic features and variation characteristic of these speakers and their heritage languages? Particularly as it is manifest in the European context, this question has fascinated me for several years now. My work on the English spoken by Lithuanian learners is an attempt to see how and when this systematization occurs, if at all, and what underlying interactions with the native language affects the process.

my name is Sahli, i am male, 34 years old german (originally from morocco) and i have diabetes type 1 since 3 weeks. During my stay at the hospital i was monitored by a dexcom seven plus. Now i left the hospital and i am without the dexcom. It was very calming to have the sugar level "under control". But now i feel like having no idea of what is happening. I am very nervous and afraid during worktime, afraid i could loose control. I cant leave my jobposition every time to check my bloodsugar with a conventional equipment. I asked my healthinsurance if they could be so kind and pay the dexcom. But they said "no". In Germany the Dexcom Receiver G4 costs 1500€ Euro which is about 2000$ United States Dollars. The G4 Sender/Antenna costs 500€ which is 700$ US Dollar and 4 Sensors cost 280€ which is about 400$ US-Dollar. I am not earning a lot of money, but i saved some money during the years. Now i would like to buy a Dexcom G4 from USA. Because i saw in Internet that the receiver in USA costs only 500$ and the Antenna only 400$. I am asking all of you kind people: Is there a trustful person to which i can transfer the Money in order to buy a Dexcom Starter Kit (Receiver, Antenna, ans Sensor) for me and ship it with UPS to Germany? I dont know if this is a good idea, but at least its a try worth in order to not to loose my job and to reduce my psycological pressure during workin time. I hope there is a trustful person or group of person who can help me in this case. I would not ask, if i wasnt a helpful person as well. I always try to help where i can.
Best regards
Sahli, the only problem with someone in the USA purchasing a DexcomG4 system for you is it is only available with a prescription from a doctor. So the person would have to obtain a prescription just to buy it. I just got my system a few weeks ago and I love the feeling of being under control. But right on every package it says Rx only.
So the question is, can you get a doctor in the states to write you a prescription, or is there anyone here who is a doctor who can write the appropriate prescriptions for you to get the system ? My health insurance covered the entire cost which was a big relief to me. Keep in mind though the sensors are only really good for a little more than 2 weeks, so you would need more than just 1.
I agree with Clare, that it is a) not possible to buy the system without a prescription and b) it is not a good idea for someone to sell you one without you being monitored by a doctor. The Dex provides good "ballpark" data, but you still need to test often. You cannot rely completely on the Dex - you will run into trouble.
BTW, it took me a year of "discussions" with my insurance before they finally agreed to pay for it. I am not surprised that as a newly diagnosed diabetic, you are being turned down. The insurance wants to treat you the least expensive way possible (for them) and they are going to want some data from you and your doctor before they consider a CGM.
I wish you luck with this process.
Hello Sahli,
I could not agree with you more. Dex has given me (and my husband) a ton more piece of mind.
Have you checked eBay?
Good luck to you!
Thank you for the answers. I have a prescription from my doctor, and he give me a prescription plus a confirmation saying that i need a dexcom for job reasons. i know that i can not only rely on the dexcom measurings. but it can help me on my way to a good adjusted diabetic. No, unfortunally i dont know a doctor in USA. And yes, i checked Ebay, but couldnt find a dexcom. Seems like it wasnt a good idea...
The US eBay site has a number of DexCom auctions:
Yes, but it looks as though it is all the 7+ not the newer G4 version
Ask your doctor to put you in contact with the Dexcom Clinical Manager for your area of Germany. The Dexcom representative may have some ideas about how to write the request for your insurance company. Hope this helps. Send Private Message if you need clarification.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid slammed the Democratic National Committee for running ads targeting moderate Democratic senators on health care. "I think it's a waste of money," Reid, D-Nev., said when asked about the ads. Asked to elaborate, he said, "It's a waste of money to have Democrats running ads against Democrats." Reid also had a tart comment about the analysis of Congressional Budget Office director Doug Elmendorf that neither the Senate or House health care bills would save the federal government any money. "What he should do is maybe run for Congress," Reid said when asked to respond to Elmendorf's analysis. The CBO is a nonpartisan office; Elmendorf was appointed by the Democratic leadership in the House.Afterwards Reid's spokesman said the Senator actually has "no problem" with the DNC ads.
"Senator Reid was led to believe by the question posed to him that the DNC was attacking members of his Caucus," said Rodell Mollineau, Reid's communications director. "In fact, the DNC is running non-specific call to action ads in states with both Democratic and Republican Senators, an effort he has no problem with. "
The ads are running primarily in states with moderate Democrats who have expressed concerns about creating a government-run health insurance program. They are also running in Maine, home to two moderate Republican Senators.

Slip a Geek Book Under the Tree
The winter holidays are the perfect time to brainwash our friends and family by giving them geeky gifts. Below are books that any techno-loving, systems-tinkering, hardware-hacking person would love, but that even those who can't program the clock on their VCR will find quite readable.
Each also allows the non-nerd entry into the geek world and will assure your nearest and dearest that you aren't a lone lunatic. Plus, giving books usually means you get to enjoy the gift before you give it, provided you're a fast reader.
Hacker fiction: Security consultant Robert G. Ferrell's Tangent ($15) has more subplots than an Egyptian archeological dig. Essentially, it's a novel about a hacker named Ash who makes his living as a freelance network security expert.
In the course of conducting a security analysis for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Ash receives a mysterious encrypted transmission that proves to be an extensive dossier on a project code-named "Bellatrix," detailing the construction and operation of a quantum computer that can calculate huge numbers in real time.
As it happens, Ash is an enthusiastic quantum-computing amateur, and he manages to incorporate the Bellatrix information into the crude little machine he's built in his basement. Shortly afterward, Alex, a retired British physicist who turns out to be more than 4 billion years old, provides him with the solution to one of the fundamental questions of quantum physics, and Ash modifies his quantum computer into a time machine and teleportation device.
With the help of his new girlfriend, Melody, Ash goes back in time a few days to prevent a catastrophic terrorist attack. Meanwhile, some supercriminals from the 23rd century attempt to kill Alex, and they launch a plot to hijack Ash's quantum rig to plant a bomb in deep space that will open up an interdimensional portal for their private use.
We won't ruin the ending, but suffice to say that the age-old question, "What has duct tape got to do with true love?" is finally answered once and for all.

Tales of spam and woe: Technology reporter Brian McWilliams' Spam Kings: The Real Story Behind the High-Rolling Hucksters Pushing Porn, Pills, and %*@)# Enlargements ($23) is not fiction, though it's easy to see how someone might mistake it for a novel with characters like Dr. Fatburn, Terri Tickle, Mad Pierre and the Spam King himself -- Davis Hawke, a chess-geek Jewish neo-Nazi who turned to pushing penis pills only after he sadly accepted the fact that he was never going to be the next Hitler.
But wait, there's more: Jason Vale, a cancer patient who knows beyond a doubt that he was cured by taking Laetrile, a treatment that some cancer specialists dismiss as a toxic fraud. Medical protests aside, Vale wanted to save other cancer patients and make a tidy profit for himself, and he's been spamming ever since. Chances are if you ever received a cancer-cure spam, it came from Vale.
And remember those spams promising $5,000 for information on such time-travel gadgets as a Dimensional Warp Generator? McWilliams tracked the sender down and discovered a mentally disturbed 22-year-old who worked as a spammer specializing in sending out "Free Government Grants" messages by day; by night he e-mailed plaintive pleas for time- and space-travel gear that would help him flee this scary and sad dimension.
McWilliams has written a true crime thriller with just enough geek-pleasing details on how spam outfits work, interspersed into a rich and fascinating tale that documents the lives, loves and motivations of several spammers, as well as the antispam activists who are bound and determined to get these dorks offline and into jail.
If you've ever wondered who is behind those bizarre e-mails that promise you improved body parts, your own harem of nubile and alarmingly eager ladies, and plenty of money for nothing, read Spam Kings. You'll be horrified -- when you're not laughing like a lunatic.

Revolutionary history: January 1984 launched the revolution, and the results are sitting right there in front of you. Whatever hardware and operating system you choose to use, "Every computer today is basically a Macintosh, a very different type of computer from those that preceded it," according to Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, in his foreword to Revolution in the Valley by Andy Hertzfeld ($25).
"There are occasionally short windows in time when incredibly important things get invented that shape the lives of humans for hundreds of years," Wozniak wrote in the intro. "The development of the Macintosh computer was one of these events. Who developed this revolutionary computer? What motivated them?"

What Do Values Voters Value Most?
Sojomail - September 20, 2006
Announcing the new God's Politics Blog - and a new look for SojoMail! Jim Wallis has just launched his new God's Politics Blog, and SojoMail has been redesigned to be the showcase of this exciting new project. Now, every week will feature a column by Jim Wallis, plus links to the best blog entries by other prominent progressive faith voices. We think you'll find each issue more focused, concise, and easier to read. Plus, instead of a hand-picked "Boomerang" section, now everyone can post their thoughts in the comments section of each blog entry in a free-flowing conversation - so please keep it civil! As you may have already noticed, we've also launched two new daily e-mail newsletters: Verse and Voice, with inspriational and challenging social justice quotes and scriptures, and Daily Digest - a compilation of each day's most important headlines. If you haven't already signed up for either of these new daily newsletters, Click here to sign up today.
How to bring democracy to Iran "Instead of bringing democracy with cluster bombs, we should support women fighting for democracy." - Shirin Ebadi, Iranian human rights activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003. (Source: Associated Press) What do values voters value most? I want to welcome you to the first edition of "God's Politics" - the blog - a new project done in an exciting partnership between Sojourners and Beliefnet. The God's Politics Blog will provide fresh conversation about faith, politics, and society - every day - from "Jim Wallis and friends." We've assembled an extraordinary group of writers and voices to help with the God's Politics Blog, including Brian McLaren, Amy Sullivan, Noel Castellanos, Robert Franklin, Diana Butler Bass, Obery Hendricks, Sister Helen Prejean, Ron Sider, Tony Campolo, and others still being added.
And then there's you! We invite all of you to the fast-moving discussion that is spreading across the country and the globe about how faith can change the world. And this will be an open, civil, and inviting discussion that welcomes a real dialogue - one not contained by the failed categories of right and left that have so polarized and paralyzed our public debate. That's because I find people across the political and religious spectrum who are looking for the "moral center" of our public life, for the moral choices and challenges below the surface of our political debates, for a true "values politics" that challenges the selective moralities of both the right and the left. So welcome to the new town meeting on spirituality and politics, and I hope you will join right in! This week I welcome Ralph Reed, the former director of the Christian Coalition and one of the most articulate leaders of America's Religious Right, to be my first dialogue partner on the God's Politics Blog. We will post our comments and responses to each other, back and forth, all week long. Since the 2004 election, the term "values voters" has become a mainstay of the political discussion - and we're hearing it again this fall. But the discussion has been generally used by its proponents (and the media) to describe one specific kind of voter - a conservative, white, evangelical, Republican. But that is now changing quite dramatically. Because, of course, many voters (maybe even most) are "values voters" - who they vote for and why are determined by their values. I believe a debate on moral values should be central in American politics. The question is, of course, which values? Whose values? And how should we define moral values? The problem is when one side of the political spectrum tries to define values as meaning only two things - opposition to same-sex marriage and criminalizing abortion. And while those two have become "wedge issues" that have effectively been used for quite partisan purposes, many of the pressing problems our society confronts have an essential moral character. Issues regarding the sacredness of life and family values are indeed very important, and need a much deeper moral discussion, but there is also a broader moral agenda that reflects all the values Americans care about. So it is actually arrogant to assume that only two issues involve moral values. And it is hubris to say that only those people with a conservative political position on those two issues are voting based on values. What should be valued most is a broader and deeper view of a politics grounded in all our values. What really appeals to the most basic moral concerns of Americans? A deeper discussion of both political principles and issues has the capability of really uniting a large number of people. + Read and respond to comments on this article on the God's Politics Blog Read more of the dialogue on the God's Politics Blog: Ralph Reed to Jim Wallis: Rejecting the Liberal "Straw Man" Jim Wallis to Ralph Reed: Not Liberal nor Conservative

Mercedes Police Officers Shoot Suspect
POSTED: Thursday, March 26, 2009 - 7:33am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:32am
Mercedes police officers opened fire on a man on Wednesday morning after he came out of a home with a rifle in his hand.
Mercedes police say the two officers opened fire after the man who was locked inside his bedroom opened the door and started shooting. Residents in the neighborhood are dumbfounded to hear about the shooting near their homes and neither homeowner Joventino Ramirez says he woke up around the same time of the shooting and heard nothing.
Mercedes Police Chief Olga Maldonado says someone called 911 around 5am complaining about a man assaulting others at a house located on the 800 block of South Missouri Avenue. When officers arrived, two of them entered the house and the officers shot at the man multiple times. Emergency crews rushed the suspect to Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco and reports say his injuries are not life threatening.
Maldonado would not identify the man or the two officers or release many other details of the shooting.

2009 Toyota Prius T-Spirit 1.8 Hybrid from UK and Ireland
A great car that happens to be a Hybrid
The only thing that has gone wrong has been the boot gas struts - sorted FOC by Toyota. That's why I deducted 1 point from the reliability!
Possibly a bit harsh, especially since they were looking dodgy when we bought the car.
The only other issue has been a slight hesitation and a drop in power on some (rare) occasions. We recently had the recall done on the software for an issue that sounds similar to this, and so far the car has been perfect since.
Obviously there has been many recalls, including one on the brakes completed by the dealer prior to us collecting the car last year. I can't comment on that, but I do know I'm happy with our Toyota and how the brakes work.
General Comments:
Forgetting for a minute that this car is a hybrid and everything that goes with it, on its own merits as a car and nothing but a car, this is very good. We like the fact that there is so much interior space for a car of its size. We love the technology with the sat-nav, rear view camera, self parking, heads-up display and all the nerdy bar charts and graphics on the dash.
We love the fact that it does around 49-52 (UK) MPG on petrol - which is about 7p a litre cheaper than diesel at present. That's driving it normally, which to be honest is not quite eco driving - we're always in a hurry and drive like it too. On a long and gentle run we can average 65 MPG with a bit of effort.
We love the smooth transmission with its total lack of gears and clutches - don't believe the journalists and well-meaning Toyota marketing people who'll tell you it has a CVT - it doesn't, or at least not like the well known versions that use a band and cones. It's official name that the engineers use is Power Split Device. We love the quiet motorway cruising and the near silence when making your way along an endless traffic jam. This is a relaxing way to drive. Even better, when stuck in such a jam you get to sit back and enjoy the fantastic Bose stereo.
Running costs are also incredibly cheap. It's been the cheapest car we've owned, helped by the very cheap dealer service costs. Given the reliability of the hybrid batteries (most of them, at least), the lack of a clutch, proper gearbox, high pressure fuel systems, turbo chargers, diesel particulate filters and dual mass flywheels, we're expecting long term costs to be much lower than the equivalent turbo diesel too. Fingers crossed, so far so good. OK it has an extra motor and voltage converters, but these should hold up and be relatively cheap to fix compared to the raft of expensive faults a modern diesel can suffer from.
What's not so good? It's not powerful enough. Even if you really go for the kickdown, it's not going to keep up with the average 2.0 turbo-diesel. For a 1.8 petrol, it's OK, and that's just about acceptable.
It also suffers from a rattly interior. Annoying, but not the end of the world. The doors are pretty tinny too. You can tell where they've shaved off weight, that's for sure.
The Toyota hard-disk based audio system is also a nightmare to use, despite having such a great sound quality. The sat-nav interface is reasonably user friendly though.
I'd definitely have another, possibly a Lexus version if my wallet allowed it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 24th March, 2014

Update from the original reviewer:
We're nearing 48k miles with the Prius now. A few times my wife noticed it seemed down on power and noisy when running at idle during the warm up period.
The Toyota dealer couldn't find anything wrong. Whilst they had the car, they installed the latest software for a recall and that appears to have solved the problem, unless it comes back with the cold weather...
The car had another MOT recently and passed without any faults at all, as you would expect I suppose. Toyota dealer prices for a major service were surprisingly cheap too.
Now we've had the Prius for nearly a year and a half, we can't really see ourselves going back to diesels or regular petrol cars. The Prius is just great; 50-70 MPG in the real world and it hasn't cost us a penny in repairs.
The only real downside to Prius ownership is the odd random bit of aggression from other (anti-hybrid?) road users. This varies from pulling out on us at the last second - possibly assuming we're really slow, to outright road rage, maybe a Prius owner is seen as a left-wing do-gooder middle class wimp and therefore an easy target for yobs?
One guy did everything he could to try and provoke me with incredibly close tailgating, then overtaking with a hairs breadth from the offside mirror and finally stamping his brakes in front of me repeatably. I still have no idea why he did that, I was driving completely normally at the speed I would drive in my other car, a Ford Mondeo. I didn't brake or pull out on him or drive slowly, or anything that might provoke someone looking for a punchbag. Very odd - I just ignored him and turned off onto another road, grateful that my kids didn't notice this madness.
Interestingly, in the Mondeo I've never had that kind of aggravation in nearly 3 years of ownership - driving in exactly the same kind of way, i.e. normally!
For that reason, if we do decide to buy another hybrid in the future, it might be an Auris or Yaris as they aren't obviously hybrids to look at.

My changeover from XP to 7 went relatively smoothly except for some administrator problems. Microsoft recommended setting up a new administrator account (administratornew) and transferring files to it.
I have now ended up with 3 administrator account - the original Xp, the new 7 and administratornew. Unfortunately the last still gives occasional problems with access permissions (mainly on system files) although I have given it full rights. Is there any way to combine all 3?

I assume you have a Dual boot system (Xp/7), perhaps if you delete the original Xp and 7 Accounts, you might then have just the new one, which you could rename to suit yourself - this might then cure the occasional problems in the new one.
Total guess only though, so first create a new system restore point!

OK, so delete XP account and if it were me, I would also delete the 'new' account, just leave yourself with one account.
Having done that run Ccleaner, might fix a possible glitch in the Install of 7.

It is always good practice to have more than one administrator account in case one becomes corrupt.

— Sports Insight (@sportzinsight) July 26, 2014
Hello and welcome to CricketCountry's coverage of the third day's play between Sri Lanka and South Africa at the Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo. Sri Lanka are in control of this match as they put up 421 on the board. At the end of Day Two, South Africa were closing in on a hundred, but had lost three wickets. Sri lanka will be looking forward to take the wicket of Hashim Amla, who is still unbeaten in the middle. South Africa are currently leading the series 1-0 and would be looking to close in on a maiden series victory in Sri Lanka.
I am R Vishal and will take you through the game. This is an important day for both sides as a lot hinges on the proceedings. We are right in the middle of the Test match and one team can take charge here to put the other team in a spot. Sri Lanka are chasing this series and one may say that there would be more pressure on them in this game than the South Africans. But, South Africa have to build on that and go on to score big on the day.
