I am relatively new at creating maps in R using ggplot2, but I have been struggling for a few days with this issue. I have created my plot, but can't seem to increase the number of bins used to map colors to my values.
This is an issue, as the map doesn't do a good job showing the variation in the data. I'm not sure if I'm approaching this problem correctly.
Here is my code:
region=c('alaska','alabama','arkansas','arizona','california','colorado','connecticut','florida','georgia','hawaii','iowa','idaho','illinois','indiana','kansas','kentucky','louisiana','massachusetts','maryland','maine','michigan','minnesota','missouri','mississippi','montana','north carolina','north dakota','nebraska','new hampshire','new jersey','new mexico','nevada','new york','ohio','oregon','pennsylvania','south carolina','south dakota','tennessee','texas','utah','virginia','vermont','washington','wisconsin','west virginia','oklahoma','wyoming')
state_data = as.data.frame(cbind(region,sales))
all_states <- map_data("state")
D = merge(all_states, state_data, by = "region")
D = D[with(D,order(D$group,D$order)),]
p = ggplot()
p = p + geom_polygon( data=D, aes(x=long, y=lat, group = group, fill=D$sales),colour="white" )
p = p + xlab("")
p = p + ylab("")
p = p + labs(title = "sales")
p = p + guides(color=FALSE)
p = p + guides(size=FALSE)
p = p + guides(fill=guide_legend() )
p = p + guides(fill= guide_colorbar(title="sales",barheight = 1,barwidth=15,direction="horizontal",nbin=8) )
p = p + theme(legend.position="bottom")
Ideally, I'd like to increase the number of bins on the legend to about 8-10, and possibly add another color to the gradient to show additional detail. I've experimented with ggplot2 functions, but am not having much luck.

The immense Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) dominates its position on the square. For over 800 years, a church has sat on this site. The Cathedral, however, only dates from the 12th century. Between 1147 and the 14th century, a Romanesque Church sat on this spot. All that is left of this older structure are the Giant's Doorway and the Heathen Towers. There is much from the Gothic period including the high vaulting of the Gothic nave, choir and side chambers. The spire is also Gothic. Once the tallest in Europe, it still is impressive at 136.7 meters.
There are many features to consider on visiting the Dom. You can see an intricate Gothic stone pulpit from the hands of Anton Pilgram decorated with portraits of the four Church Fathers. There is the Singer Gate and the 14th century St. Katherine's Chapel. You must see the Catacombs as well as the Wiener Neustädter altar from 1447. The Albertine choir impresse,s as does the high altar by Tobias Puck. If you can, be sure to arrive in time to hear the Pummerin, the Boomer, Austria's largest bell, sound off. If you have any time left over, pay a visit to the nearby Diocese museum – a treasure trove of artwork.

When it's time to upgrade your boat's audio system, it's important to look for marine-rated stereo equipment that can stand up to life on the water. This handy guide will give you some tips on what to buy for your boat.
Charlie Pastorfield
The "ideal" car audio system is not necessarily the loudest one, or the most expensive one. It's the one that best meets your needs. So, the first step is to figure out what your needs are. Start by asking yourself the right questions.
Charlie Pastorfield
Many new vehicles incorporate climate controls and other features into their factory radios, making it difficult to install a new stereo. Car stereo manufacturers have responded with a variety of products for upgrading your factory radio. Don't want to replace your radio? Charlie Pastorfield reviews some of your options.
Jon Paulette
Some budding audiophiles look at building a car stereo as an "all or nothing" proposition. They make a wish list, look at the total cost, get nervous, and do nothing. It doesn't have to be that way, though. Installing a system in stages improves your sound without breaking the bank.

text: While financial inclusion of the unbanked population in the country is high on the development agenda of the government, there are significant challenges in making it a reality. One of the key challenges is to address the gargantuan need for building the requisite banking infrastructure to provide financial services access in the rural areas of the country. Obviously such an effort requires large scale capital investments which are not really an attractive proposition for the financial institutions. However, in the past few years, some novel initiatives undertaken by some of the Micro Finance Institutions seemed to find a way out to address this challenge. They started appointing local youths as agents (commonly known as "bandhus") who served as a quasi 'doorstep bankingservice representatives for the rural and unbanked populations. However, even this model was fraught with its own set of challenges. The key challenges were to keep the transactions costs low and immediate & secure reconciliation of accounts with the core banking network. This is because itinvolved a huge amount of paperwork and inefficient processeswhich made a physical reconciliation of accounts necessary. It involves a great deal of latency and managing the logistics of a large human network that is used to reach out to the rural population. This adds up to huge cost overheads which are consequently passed on to the end consumer anddefeated the basic premise of financial inclusion. In such a scenario, while it is imperative that you need more feet on the ground in the form of agents or bandhus, it is all the more important to find out ways and means to reduce the overall cost per transaction. Clearly the answer lies in adoption of the right kind of technology that enables people to remotely undertake secure transactions which immediately reconciles with core banking network. Introduction of M2M (Machine2Machine) EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) to enable secure wireless transactions should be technologies answer to such a humungous challenge. Robust handheld terminals which have highly secure integrated wireless modules which enable the terminals to interact with the core banking network using the current GSM/GPRS cellular networks. While there are many such wireless EPOS terminals in use for various applications, however the wireless modules that is required for this kind of an application requires being much more robust and should be able to have bi-directional speeds necessary to support a large number of transactions. The solutions should be able to highly reliable, secure, providing seamless mobility that is designed to build efficiencies into the transaction process. Aside of this the wireless modules used in the handheld terminals should be robust enough for most types of climatic conditions which one would encounter while operating in rural environments. The use of these wireless terminals significantly reduces paperwork associated with micro-banking and micro-insurance operations. This in turn saves time for the field agents so that they can focus on acquiring new customers and sell multiple products which increases profitability and ultimately reduces costs for the MFI operators. The use of wireless is not just restricted to EPOS handheld terminals, wireless connectivity is also being used to connect ATMs. This is yet another avenue which can be used to increase banking services penetration remotely. This trend is picking up in the less developed countries as there are significant advantages of using a wireless ATM terminal. Using wireless technology enabled ATMs offer deployment flexibility as they do not have to rely on copper-based infrastructure. Cellular-enabled ATMs can be placed anywhere network coverage exists. This is of particular use, therefore, to those people who do not necessarily live within a reasonably close distance to the nearest town with banking facilities. Aside of this, another major advantage of deploying a cellular-enabled ATM is of increased safety and introduction of remote monitoring capabilities. When ATMs are deployed in remote locations they are often exposed to the risk of been broken into and most of the times the entire ATM machine is stolen. In such a case if the ATM machine is fitted with cellular A-GPS technology, then the entire unit can be precisely tracked even if it is indoors. Apart from that wireless connectivity can also be used to monitor transactions that are surreptitious or irregular in nature and flag the system which will help the authorities to take timely corrective measures. Another advantage of wireless ATMs is that of delivering content on the ATM screens as the ATMs can double up as digital signage kiosk. In rural areas such ATMs can be used to deliver social messages on their screens so that people in the rural areas are made aware of key issues that are important to their livelihood. Clearly the success of India's financial inclusion and micro-finance industry vision relies a lot on the choice of technologies used that reduce operational costs, transaction latencies and most importantly connect the last mile to the core banking and financial networks. - Ashish Gulati is Country Manager, Telit Communication S.p.

By Brett Friedlander,
Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer
August 20, 2002
RALEIGH - The first thing you notice about Chuck Amato when he strides into a room is the chest. A sign of strength and confidence, it has become a chiseled monument to the progress the N.C. State football program has made since the coach's return from Florida State in 2000.
Even the most dedicated Wolfpack supporters probably rolled their eyes a little when Amato stormed into Raleigh and, with his high-pitched voice, immediately proclaimed his intention to duplicate the Seminoles' success at his alma mater.
Few are doubting him now. Just two seasons later, State sold out all of its home games at Carter-Finley Stadium and was selected by the media to finish second in the ACC behind FSU. One of the surest signs that the Wolfpack is making progress comes directly from Tallahassee itself. Suddenly, it's the Seminoles who are talking about getting revenge on N.C. State, instead of vice versa.
It's enough to make any coach, even one without such an ample upper body, throw out his chest with pride. Amato certainly does, though as a coach in a league as balanced as the ACC, he's still careful enough to make sure he doesn't stick his neck out too far.
"We're still a ways away, but we're getting better," Amato said. "This season will tell a lot."
The Wolfpack can only hope its defining season ends up better than the way it started. Even before strapping on the pads for its first preseason scrimmage, State suffered two potentially damaging losses when senior tailback Cotra Jackson and senior defensive end Terrance Chapman were declared academically ineligible. Then, during one mid-August practice, sophomore receiver Dovonte Edwards suffered a knee injury and exciting true freshman A.J. Davis broke his leg. All four players would have been either full-time starters or heavy-duty second-teamers this fall. Now, only Edwards has a chance to help.
Jackson, who started at fullback last season, was considered the leading candidate to replace Ray Robinson at tailback. With him gone, State's running game will be left to three backs who have never carried the ball from scrimmage in a college game.
Converted cornerback Greg Golden, who returned a kickoff for a touchdown in last season's Tangerine Bowl loss to Pittsburgh, appears to have the inside track on the starting job. But don't be surprised if highly touted true freshman T.A. McLendon, who set national prep records for career touchdowns at Albamarle (N.C.) High, also gets plenty of carries.
Chapman, meanwhile, led the Wolfpack and ranked fourth in the ACC last season with seven sacks. His absence on the line will put even more pressure on a young defense already struggling to replace all-star linebacker Levar Fisher and five other starters.
"Losing players who have been a part of the team, that hurts," Amato said. "We've got to pick up the pieces and go on from there. Life will go on."
As long as the Wolfpack has the man Amato refers to simply as "No. 17" taking snaps for it, life has a chance to be very good this season. Quarterback Philip Rivers, who arrived in Raleigh with Amato in January 2000, is a legend in the making. He started and won his first college game, had another outstanding season as a sophomore and is well on his way to rewriting every school passing record in the book.
Rivers has led State to 15 wins, including an amazing 34-28 upset of Florida State in Tallahassee last November, and two bowl trips in his two college seasons. But this year, he'll be facing even more pressure than ever, and it has little to do with the uncertainty of the running back situation and the high expectations being placed upon him. Ever since his wife Tiffany gave birth (on July 6) to the couple's first child, daughter Halle, Rivers has faced more responsibility than ever.
If anyone can handle it, of course, Rivers is the man. After all, he's been the father figure to the Wolfpack offense since he was an 18-year-old freshman, just a few months out of high school. It's a role he said he began preparing for a long time before his arrival at N.C. State.
"When I was in Little League baseball," he said, "I was the one who wanted to say 1-2-3 before we said whatever team we were. Calling the huddle and all those things that go along with being a quarterback, those are the things I like. I'm used to having those responsibilities."
A 6-5, 236-pound Alabama native, Rivers already has thrown for 5,640 yards and 41 touchdowns in his Wolfpack career, despite an unorthodox release that sometimes resembles someone hurling a javelin. With a much more experienced receiving corps at his disposal this season, including senior Bryan Peterson, Rivers should continue to be effective in Amato's wide-open offensive scheme.
One question lingers: Will Rivers be able to use his strong arm to throw the ball downfield more, the way he did as a freshman? The answer depends on the development of sophomores Edwards and Sterling Hicks, who have the speed to become the kind of deep threats the Wolfpack has lacked since the departure of first-round NFL draft pick Koren Robinson. Edwards' preseason injury didn't help his progress.
Peterson is the top returning pass catcher, with 48 receptions last season. Edwards and Hicks combined to bring in 23 balls, with each averaging more than 14 yards per catch. Junior Jerricho Cotchery, who had 41 grabs and four touchdowns, also returns. Redshirt sophomore Andy Bertrand, who missed last season with a shoulder injury, posted a team-best 4.34 in the 40 last spring. It all adds up to remarkable depth.
"We have six or seven guys who can run and have experience. I think we can do some special things throwing the ball," Rivers said. "I think the experience they gained will help us be a better offense. As far as going deep, we have to take what the defense gives us, and we have to just stick with running our team offense. We have had success with it, so we will stick with it and try to improve on it."
Even with an offensive line that includes a pair of converted defenders at guard in Sean Locklear and Shane Riggs, Rivers and his offense shouldn't have trouble putting big numbers on the scoreboard. The task figures to be particularly easy against a nonconference schedule that includes New Mexico, East Tennessee State, Navy and Massachusetts.
The key to whether the Wolfpack realizes its preseason promise, and perhaps even challenges Florida State for conference and national prominence, depends on the effectiveness of its defense in keeping points off the scoreboard. Although State ranked fifth in the ACC in total defense last season at 359.3 yards per game and second in scoring defense at 20.3 points per game, Amato believes there is still plenty of room to grow.
"We're getting better," said Amato, a former linebacker and career defensive coach. "But we're not going to be a great football team, and we won't be able to get where we want to, until we can play great defense. It's that simple. You can win those 52-48 games all you want, and the fans will love it, but you won't win a lot of championships. When I first went to FSU, we won a lot of games that way, but we didn't win any championships until we started stopping people when we needed to stop them."
The way to do that, according to Amato, is by adding more speed to the lineup, and he certainly did that with his first two recruiting classes.
Though still a work-in-progress, much like the new NCSU football building rising above the south end zone at Carter-Finley, the upgrade can best be seen on the defensive line. There, even without Chapman, the Wolfpack is as quick and talented as anyone in the ACC north of Tallahassee. Athletic senior Shawn Price, Chapman's bookend and former juco teammate, was particularly impressive in preseason drills, after recording six sacks and 10 tackles for loss last season.
Inside, Terrance Martin returns at nose tackle, and Jerrick Hall is back at the other tackle position. Drew Wimsatt, who was still recovering from back surgery while playing in all 12 games last season, probably will be the first choice to fill Chapman's spot at end. Senior George Anderson is another experienced hand and part-time starter.
The secondary, which was prone to giving up the big play last season, again will be anchored by first-team All-ACC free safety Terrence Holt. A 6-2, 203-pound senior, he has become much more than Torry's younger brother during his time in Raleigh. In his first three seasons with the Pack, Terrence compiled 215 tackles and nine blocked kicks.
Holt's influence and leadership figure to be even more important this season, when he may find himself surrounded by sophomores in the secondary. Marcus Hudson started the last four games of 2001 at cornerback as a true freshman, and speedy Lamont Reid appears poised to beat out junior J.J. Washington at the other corner. Hard-hitting Andre Maddox established himself at the rover position during spring practice. The three sophomores provide a lot of speed, a lot of athleticism ... and a lot of youth and inexperience. But they're not completely untested.
"We're young at some spots, but those young guys had a trial by fire last season," Amato said. "They played a lot of snaps and in tough situations."
Other than senior Dantonio Burnette, the Wolfpack's linebacker corps doesn't have that same luxury. What's worse, at least two players from a group that includes Corrie Dawson, Roger Pollard, Avery Gibson, Pat Thomas and Freddie Aughtry-Lindsay will have to live with the constant comparisons to the duo they'll be trying to replace.
Although they may not be able to match Fisher or Brian Jamison in ability or experience, Holt said the Wolfpack's new linebackers have at least one quality that sets them apart. It's toughness, a trait he said comes directly from Amato.
"Players emulate their coach, and Coach Amato is as tough and as intense as they come," Holt said. "We've got a lot of guys who want to win and who are working hard to get it done. I'm excited about what we have a chance to accomplish this season."
That's the kind of attitude that would make any coach's chest swell with pride, even one whose muscular upper body already looks that way.

Re: Danish Delight - Caroline Wozniacki thread - vol 4
Caro wins 6-1, 3-5 ret. This match reminded me of the one against Vera in YEC 09. Vera played crap the first set, but though Caro won the set easily she didn't get into a rhytm. And when her opponent suddenly raised her level in 2nd set Caro had problems adapting to the new circumstances. It's definitely something she needs to work on.
Paul Annacone on Wozniacki: "
Her biggest skill is to make you over play.

Making more space in your home
Today many families find that they have outgrown their home. For instance they might have more children, children grow up and need their own space; today many more young adults live in the family home as buying their own isn't an option. You might need to find space for an elderly relative, you might want a home office, a games room, or you just need a bigger and better kitchen.
Nowadays increasing your space is, for most families, a much better option than buying a bigger home. However, given that there are so many alternative ways of doing so, deciding which option is the best isn't always easy.
Orangeries, garden rooms, loft conversions, garage conversions and so forth all have their benefits, but which one is best for you?
Whether you already know what you want, or if you are uncertain as to the best solution?
At Total Extensions, We really do know how to make the best space at the right price

I sincerely doubt it. She's taken several direct hits in the past few days. She didn't even know Herman's Cain name. She repeatedly called him "Herb Cain," on a FOXNews interview. Full Interview: Sarah Palin on Greta | The Right Scoop Roger Ailes says he hired her because "she was hot and got ratings." Fox News's Roger Ailes: 'I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot' - Erik Wemple - The Washington Post Amd a former McCain campaign adviser has some choice words for Sarah Palin. Nicolle Wallace, who was also an aide for George W. Bush, told Time that Palin inspired the mentally-ill vice-presidential character in her new novel, "It's Classified". Nicole Wallace: Sarah Palin Inspired Mentally Ill VP Character In New Book
Of course she's not running. She makes plenty of $ off the lemmings now, and she knows she would have looked like a fool if she went through a campaign, just like she looked like a fool in 2008.
There wasn't even enough interest for her to hold a press conference like Chris Christie did. No pending announcement, no media coverage, no nothing. Just a prepared speech read on a radio show during an scheduled interview. Not even a radio show affiliated with her own employer, FoxNews but with "LameStream Media," instead. Perhaps her 10 minutes is finally up?
would make for great entertainment, but a move that would likely save us from having perry be prez......and as much as I can't stand Barry, I will take him over this freak
Nothing is forever, it was great fun watching her drive the Loons nuts, I'm surprised Chris (mush mouth) Matthews didn't drown on his own drool screaming insults about her, she really drove him insane. So Long Sarah Hope You Give Them A Little Zinger Now And Then God Willing Your Friend Harry
Looks like the FOX is throwing Sarah to the wolves: Sarah Palin got little love from her colleagues at "Fox and Friends" on Thursday morning. Palin announced Wednesday night that she would not be running for the presidency in 2012. Her decision was met with little surprise, but the "Friends" crew went even further, openly mocking her announcement. "Is that what she said?" co-host Brian Kilmeade wondered, referring to Palin's statement. "It was so circuitous." Gretchen Carlson drew an unflattering contrast between Palin and Chris Christie, the other high-profile potential GOP contender who announced he was not entering the race on Tuesday. "The difference, I think, between Chris Christie and Sarah Palin ... [was] there were tons of people publicly asking Chris Christie to run for president," Carlson said. 'Fox And Friends' Mocks Sarah Palin 2012 Announcement (VIDEO)
LMAO.....LOL......LOL......LOL.......LOL......OK.......LOL......LOL......OK OK.......LOL! Those two should be on the side of a milk carton:bricks: Both are twits and both should just go back to w/e hole that came out of.
One less dominionist is a good thing.. but she will still be chirping and provide expert advice from the sidelines..

Marcus Jordan Shows Off Infrared 6s and Legend Blue 11s by Patrick Johnson 53 Comments
January 31, 2012 BY John Kim / 16
While it is apparent that brother Jeffrey has quit the game for the time being, Marcus continues to shine for the UCF Knights with his scoring acumen and sneaker rotation. His custom Jordan Fly Wade 'Motivation' kicks was one of the hot topics over the last couple of weeks, but in a recent game against Palm Beach Atlantic, Marcus opted for an original as he wore the Air Jordan IV 'White/Cement', matching the team's Home uniforms. The result was a good one, as the Knights pulled off a win thanks to Jordan's team-leading 17 points. Check out Marcus and the White/Cement IV after the jump and we'll keep you updated on more White/Cement news and updates until the much-anticipated release goes down in two Saturdays! via NT.

Archbishop Ryan High School recently dedicated a stained glass window in its chapel to the memory of Timothy Connors, a 15-year-old freshman who was hit by a car and died on the afternoon of May 17, 2011.
They filed into the tiny office inside the school gymnasium, one by one, until there were six of them inside the cramped room. They rattled off the neighborhoods they hail from and grade schools they attended, from Fox Chase to Somerton to Mayfair; St. Cecilia to St. Matthew to St. Albert the Great.
Timothy Connors died near the high school on May 17. His father thanked students for their outpouring of love.

How hard/easy is it to switch roms? I'm currently using liquid but I wanted to try some other ones out. Whatcare the steps I need to take? Sent from your mom's house using my Droid X
Brad92 swears by boot manager, i havent ever used it, i just do the flash process every time i wanna try a new ROM, you can make backups of your favorites and restore them just like your stock backup
I backed up my phone before flashing Liquid using Titanium. But I don't see how to make a seperate backup with it. Sent from your mom's house using my Droid X
Install ROM Manager. It's an essential tool. With it, I switch ROMs a little more frequently than I should.
In CWM there's an option to backup and restore, that's where you can make backups of the whole system and restore them BAD ASS X
I have never backed up nor flashed a ROM through ROM manager, I never had any luck, I just prefer to do all wipes and flashes manually BAD ASS X
I just downloaded Rom manager and made a backup of Liquid. What would be my next step? Sent from your mom's house using my Droid X
So I tried doing Liberty 3 wiped data and all that good stuff.. got caught in a boot loop. So I restored Liquid. Anything I'm doing wrong? Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums
Yeah that's why I never use it, just use CWM recovery like you did when flashing liquid, make a back up there first then wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash and you do have a gapps zip right BAD ASS X

I put an old Redfield scope taken off my old deer rifle on the .177 back in '88 or '89 for "long range" shots at squirrles and rabbits. It's still dead on and so much fun to shoot nearly 20 yrs. later.

For Jessica Dubiel, 17, of Mount Airy, making blankets for the sick isn't just a labor of love, it's a personal mission.
Jessica, a junior at South Carroll High School, lost her mother, Angie, about nine years ago to cervical cancer. Now, as president of the school's Project Linus Club she honors her mother's memory one stitch at a time.
The club of about 60 students is part of a national initiative in which members sew, crochet, quilt and make blankets for children who are seriously ill.
"I got to see a lot of kids that were sick [when my mom was], and the kids were younger than me," Jessica said. "So it really means a lot to me that they are going to the hospital and people that need them."
In the three years since Jessica joined the club her freshman year, she's made about seven blankets.
Donations from the South Carroll group, which meets each week to work on their blankets, are given to patients at area hospitals, such as Carroll Hospital Center in Westminster, Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical Center both in Baltimore.
"[The group] gives the students a way to think about someone other than themselves, to give back to the community and show that they care," said Carmela Fiora, adviser of the group and family consumer sciences teacher at the school. "Their enthusiasm just doesn't seem to stop."
Each one of the donated blankets has a tag attached to it telling the owner that the blanket was made by the high school group, and students also are given the opportunity to write a personal note on their blanket tags when they finish.
Jessica said she still remembers the first blanket she made three years ago, a blue one that she sewed with pink trim and teddy bears on it.
"I worked on it for almost the whole year," she said. "It felt really good when I [donated] it."
Project Linus has been a part of the school for about 10 years. The project was given its name in reference to the Peanuts comic strip character Linus who was known for carrying a blanket with him everywhere.
Last year the group made 44 blankets and had about 12 student members.
With their increased number this year, the group hopes to make 100 blankets by the end of the school year, Fiora said. As of Dec. 4, they had finished about 50.
Much of the supplies needed to make the blankets are donated by those in the school community.
Michelle Canaziri, 16, of Mount Airy said she didn't know much about making blankets when she first joined the club three years ago. Now, as vice president of the group, she's made about seven blankets and is learning how to crochet this year.
Michelle said she even makes blankets outside of the club.
"It's really cool," she said. "You learn a lot of new things."
Fiora said that she's "extraordinarily proud" of her students and their efforts.
"It's been heart-warming and overwhelming," she said. "It's been wonderful for them and for me."

It has not even been five years since the terrifying mass shooting that took 13 lives in Fort Hood, Texas. Yet the headlines read all the same on April 2, 2014: another shooting spree with multiple fatalities.
On April 2, 2014, Sergeant Ivan Lopez was in a medical building when he began firing his .45 caliber Smith and Wesson pistol (purchased at the same gun store as the previous Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan) around 4:00pm. He soon left that building and went into another, continuing to fire. He shot nearly 20 people, killing three of them and then turning the gun on himself in the end once police intervened.
Lopez was a 34-year-old Puerto Rican who had previously served in the National Guard in Puerto Rico before being transferred to Fort Bliss, Texas (another post near El Paso, Texas). He was deployed to Egypt in 2007 for a year and then to Iraq in 2011 for four months. Family members allege that he was deeply affected by his deployments and was showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, though he was never officially diagnosed with it. He was being treated for his depression and anxiety and was working as an army truck driver at the time of the shooting. He had been seen by a psychiatrist but was not seen as a threat to himself or society. His motive behind the shooting is currently unclear, though witnesses did report hearing a verbal altercation between Lopez and others before the shooting. He is not thought to have any ties to extremist organizations, unlike the previous Fort Hood shooter, who had allegedly been in communication with Anwar al-Awlaki, a talent recruiter for Al Qaeda. If Lopez's motive was not fueled by terrorism or radical beliefs, could he have been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder that went undetected? With Lopez now dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, the motive behind his violent rage may never be found.
Just four and a half years prior to Lopez's outrage, the 2009 Fort Hood shooting happened on November 5, 2009. The sole shooter was identified as Major Nidal Malik Hasan, ironically a psychiatrist for the United States Army. His motive for the shooting, however, stemmed from his radical Muslim beliefs and ultimately, jihad. Some refer to Major Hasan's killing spree as an act of domestic terrorism, though it has officially been deemed as an act of workplace violence. No matter the classification, Major Hasan murdered over a dozen people on his own accord, and wounded more than 30 individuals. He was arraigned in 2011 on charges of murder and attempted murder and a court-martial was set to begin in May 2013. Hasan represented himself in the trial in which military prosecutors were seeking the death penalty. His defense strategy was anything but a defense – he admitted he was the sole shooter responsible for the deaths of his fellow soldiers. He also indicated that he had "switched sides" and was now declaring jihad with the United States. Not surprisingly, the jury convicted him of all murder and attempted murder charges after deliberating for just seven hours and he was sentenced to death.

Reasons not to trust Glenn Beck
Submitted by fonzdrew on Thu, 02/28/2013 - 23:33- Login to post comments
The elusive obvious
If he was a libertarian at heart when he was at CNN, then said he was most in line with libertarian beliefs over all others at FOX, and now says outright he's a libertarian, why did it take him so long to figure out what that really meant? He says he does a lot of research.
It's not like he didn't have plenty of advice from Napolitano and Stossel. So he knew what libertarians believe. Most people tend to wake up much more quickly than that. Why did it take him so long to embrace it?

What's Up with This Trust-Question!?!!?
What does it matter if you can or cannot trust Beck? Why do you need to trust him in the first place? Why is this question of trust so important to many people in DP?
Why can't people be just happy that Beck is talking about libertarianism to his audience/followers and interviewing libertarians like Napolitano, Jillette, Hunter, etc. Would it be better than he would not do that and his fans would never hear these discussions and interviews? What does it matter what is Beck's ultimate goal with what he is doing? What does it matter even if in one year Beck would turn his coat and start preaching about the true evils of libertarianism? Just be happy that he is doing it now and many people who haven't heard anything good about libertarian ideas are hearing them now and maybe even soon find their way to read Napolitano's or Woods' books.
Just a little advice for some of you:
Never Trust Beck! Anybody who trusts Beck is a dummy. Just Enjoy his Libertarian Carnival as long it lasts.
Maybe soon the festive season over, but who cares. At least some of his listeners at time have come to understand that the REAL DEAL is to be found from somewhere else. Maybe some of them have found their way even to a place called DAILY PAUL.

Beck is just like the rest
of actors over in the msm looking for ratings, spewing propaganda, and almost always pushing some sort of agenda. When he decided to call RP supporters potential terrorists, he lost any chance of me believing anything that comes out of his mouth..

Tell me about these so-called high ratings you speak about. How did they work out for Freedomwatch?
Have you ever said something you regretted or changed your mind about, or have you been right your whole life?
Also, that Beck comment was in 2007 when he was a full-fleshed neocon.
Has he changed? maybe, maybe not. But if him talking about it converts a few of his listeners to learn more and then become libertarians, I am happy. I am sure you won't want that to happen.

Gotta love Becks version of libertarianism
I think I'll pass.. the desire to grab a "few" libertarians out of the twisted mess he calls libertarians, isn't worth the risk of making him a face of "true" libertarianism so he can suckerpunch us at a later date.. and it will come.
He has done that time and time again. It's morons like you that would have us following him off the cliff like lemmings.

I see it differently.
Glenn Beck is not Mitt Romney running for office. Glenn Beck is the ONLY big media personality that might teach Libertarian principles to wider audience that is still uninformed. Listeners of Andrew Napoletano, Tom Woods, Lew Rockwell are already converted. Alex Jones himself preaches populism peppered with some Libertarian slogans.
The value of Glenn Beck for us should not be overlooked. Our anarchists can spend days and months arguing about their ideas without persuading anyone. Glenn Beck can turn around thousands in a matter of several shows.

I agree, but say keep a close eye on him.
I agree, but say keep a close eye on him. The people are sheep and if Beck starts to become this "leader" of the Liberty movement, he could have serious influence over the movement and be used just at the right time to..........lead us to a certain candidate that might not be one of ours. Meaning, he could be a useful tool.
This is tough b/c we could use some help going mainstream and fast forward the awakening, but at the same time, we all knew TPTB were going to try and infiltrate, divide and conquer after they saw Ron Paul's movement. So is Beck it? Maybe, maybe not.
It's kind of like, if FOX was really gonna ride the Liberty train then why not pay Doc Paul the big bucks and give him a show. Or, give the Judge back Freedom Watch but on main FOX News, or, stack the nightly news with liberty folks. I say if "they" let him grow, but you don't hear similar stuff to what the Judge would say on his show, then we have our answer.
Glenn also sees the movement and momentum swinging perhaps in our direction and wants in on the gravy.
At least that's my take.

I agree. There are so many
I agree. There are so many short-sighted people here. Even is Beck is all the things they accuse him off, if him talking about libertarianism, and inviting others to discuss the same, and a few people are converted through that process, we have won..
Shutting that potential down, is foolish.

Who's talking...
...about shutting it down? The things I mentioned below are what Glenn needs to do if he wants to earn my trust as someone who is really dropping the smug condescension of the past and turning over a new leaf in search of Liberty. Note that I didn't say he had to agree with Dr. Paul or myself on everything -- it's more about him earning trust by showing respect and not engaging in smear tactics.
- Login to post comments
Where's the one-on-one...
...in-depth, sincere, non-condescending interview between Glenn and Dr. Paul? -- not just some short token interview on what they agree on (federal spending, the Fed, etc.), but on the thorny issues of foreign policy, etc. When I see Glenn sincerely doing that and not following it up with some back-stabbing smear job with his smug sidekicks making snide remarks about Dr. Paul and us, then I might have hope there is something genuine about his interest in the Liberty movement, as more than something to derail.
When I see him going back to revisit the Founders and underscoring the non-interventionist foreign policy he conveniently left out in previous years of going on about George Washington and company, then I might start to believe him.
Does anyone else sense something bristling in Glenn, something in his body language or eyes, when he has guests like G. Edward Griffen? It seems like he's saying words that he needs to say for his audience to think he's on their side; but I sense this underlying discomfort he has for some of his guests. Take the freshman Libertarian in the recent video (w/ Jack Hunter, etc.), for example -- you could tell Glenn wasn't liking him so much, and was kind of more abrupt with him than with the other two.
When he had the fellow on who invented 3-D gun magazine printing, Glenn told him that he wasn't sure yet if he was friend or foe... I loved the glimmer in the guest's eyes when he returned his gaze and said 'that's a good question.' It was like he was challenging Glenn -- are you really a friend or foe of Liberty?
I hope my suspicions are all wrong; and I will be quick to cheer Glenn on if he is genuine. But forgive my doubts in the meantime. :)

Look. Use his Microphone and drop him
If he keeps bringing people like Hunter and other Libertarians on the show, its fine.
if he keeps propping up Rand, thats cool too.
but once the Good Doctor gets his radio show, we will ask him what to do about Old GB and his new "interests"

Did you here Alex explain Becks approach?
He gains your confidence then suckerpunches you.
He's only doing this so that at the perfect moment he can pull the rug out from under libertarians. That's why he's there.. that's his job as far as I'm concerned.
For fucks sake.. stop thinking that you can use these people. You have none of the money they do.. None of the influence.. None of the TV shows and media corporations.
Do as Dr.Paul and Alex are doing.. go to the people.. form your own stations. Get the word of mouth out as an individual. Anyway you slice it, it's a longshot, but at least this way, they'll have less chance to control the direction.

There are reasons to NOT trust Ron Paul either.
Nor would I trust any Anarchist. I don't hear any of you talking about serving justice, including Ron Paul. I hear him telling me I shouldn't cause a ruckus and to be respectful to the criminals who think they're going to use our government and monetary system as an engine to spread injustice.
I hear him telling me I should respect carbon taxing mass murderers, and maybe that's because Ron Paul isn't interested in serving justice or fixing anything. As he says, he's interested in watching them destroy America because he thinks he can build on the rubble.
Glenn Beck is right to hate some Libertarians, and I don't blame him for wanting NOTHING to do with them. Most of the people who call themselves Libertarians are just Anarchists and destroyers. You know the type, the kind of person who can't call themselves a Republican and try to blame injustice on government. They have NO IDEA what the problem is. They're like gun grabbers who think they can get rid of injustice by getting rid of guns, and that's what government is, collective force, and just like a gun, it can be used to serve justice or injustice.
Don't blame Glenn Beck, and don't blame government. Blame yourself.
Blame the people who unjustly want what they don't have a right to.
Blame the people like Ron Paul who love to imagine that what we need is a giant mound of rubble and death.
Blame the people who came into this thinking they were surrounded by sheep and retards here to be used in a revolution.
Blame yourself for thinking you were going to start a revolution screaming about how stupid everybody is, because now the only people who're going to face justice are the ones who wanted to use people as their instruments of destruction.

So Glenn Beck Was Super Confused...
... and maybe told what he had to say when on FOX. Now he seems more excepting of Libertarians. In my eyes he is an ally as long as he is an ally. If he changes, how is this going to hurt our movement? If he promotes Rand, then he is for us. If he turns on him, oh well (we're used to that). I also realize people change, maybe that is it, maybe it is not. I am glad he is saying some good things now, but I really can care less.

I ask why you dont understand where have you been?
Glen Beck is the primary reason that Texas is still stuck with that criminal Rick (Bilderberg) Perry.
Glen Beck did a hatchet job on Debra Medina, She was running for governor Texas on a platform similar to Ron Paul's Liberty, She lives the same local as RP here in Texas, she wanted to abolish that vile extorted theft called property tax. The extortion that usurps a mans ownership of private property.
Glen Beck is a huge traitor. Do your research before you discredit others with terms like "OBSESSED", No one is obsessed with Glen Beck.
He is a huge criminal still walking free committing crimes against humanity, yet some still say oh well nothing to be concerned about.
Some actually say, I don't see why those people are so obsessed with Glen Beck.
Me I say what a terrible question, to lazy to do your own research so you talk down to others.
Just look at some vids of when RP was doing a pres run and some of the things that GB stated on FAUX and other MSM media ie. radio.

Are you equally holding Tom
Are you equally holding Tom Woods accountable for his neoconservative views before he was converted? In fact do you every person who eventually were converted accountable for what they did and said before they got converted?
I did my research. His disagreement on foreign policy is the main issue he had with Paul. A lot of people feel the same. Beck said he has changed his mind on that.
Has he changed? maybe, maybe not. But if him talking about it converts a few of his listeners to learn more and then become libertarians, I am happy. I am sure you won't want that to happen.
Is Beck worse than any other talk or radio host who trashed Paul and/or libertarians?
Stossel even had guests on that came back later and said he changed their mind. IS that not something you want?
All your points are from OLD videos. Provide us something from the last few months while he claims to have been taught more about it.

Tom Woods dont know of him very well
and didnt have reason to look into him. Beck has cost me personaly. Tom Woods has not, at least that I know of.
The scale of the crime is not the same in my mind. Beck was sucking up to the Kabal using the air waves to gleen favor and wealth at the cost of many others.
But its about the crime and the time. Glen is still a huge lieing crap, still shilling for favor. The second he gets you to trust him he will stab you and cry out that your at fault and hurting him so by making him stab you. Nah Beck is not welcome in my life not in any way shape or form. I dont care how many name you throw in I know the trash of Glen Beck and No is always gona be my final answer. His crimes are by far to high, he needs rehabilitation. I am talking bubba and jail house bars.

simply put
I posted this video because I have been noticing a lot of Glenn Beck videos, of him talking about libertarians. So I wanted to remind others here of why we don't trust him in those situations. If you look at all my post, you may only find one other video with Glenn Beck in it, maybe. To my memory, this is the only Glenn Beck video I have ever posted.

You do realize that most, if
You do realize that most, if not all, of those clips of Beck are old. He fully acknowledges he was for the Patriot Act, but said he made a mistake because he was too trusting fo the Government. Now whether he is telling the truth, only time will tell.
I am just amazed at the amount of posts and thread on Beck here. With the same amount of energy you guys could convert new people.
Personally I welcome ANYONE who is willing to learn and join the liberty. If we had to examine everyone's personal beliefs before they became full-fleshed libertarians we are going to cringe.
Even if Beck is insincere would something good come out if some of his listeners became libertarians, or is that a no, no, too?

I do realize that
It was only a reminder, that's all. It's different when people change their minds, but it's something completely different when they change their view depending on the moment, like Romney. I only showed this to remind those who think Beck is all of a sudden friendly to us, that he wasn't at one point, and to stay alert.

Beck is not a politician.
Beck is not a politician. Romney is. Beck doesn't need a small minority of libertarians. In fact, he probably risks losing his neoconservative crowd by doing so. The mistake most people make here is to overestimate the amount of real libertarians there are.
I just see it different than most of the people here.

He seems so obsessed with the word libertarian lately. If he wants to be one he might as well just do it instead of begging for acceptance. If he begs for acceptance people are going to respond.

Well, it appears as though
Well, it appears as though Glenn Beck is trying to make a move on the Liberty Movement. Given his previous character and his deceptions, many are concerned with Beck's recent endeavors into the Libertarian ideology and so forth. Remember when Glenn Beck tried to become a sort of figure for the Tea Party? Many want to see where Beck is going, and what moves he's making, and many others want to expose him.

Beck will attempt to redefine
Beck will attempt to redefine libertarianism. He won't be informing, or bringing others to libertarianism, he'll confuse because he himself is confused. I give him the benefit of the doubt that he's reassessing his philosophical foundations. He doesn't know what he believes, and he's defining himself as something he's not.

I want you to know that when I first looked at the kennels, what primarily made my decision was price. I needed kennels for approximately 1 year before I am relocating.
After they were installed, I realized the kennels were not only esthetically beautiful as they do not have the harsh clamor of stainless steel, but the dogs love them! We have tile floors on the bottom of the kennel and the dogs walk right in! I think they think they are in their pantry at home which we both know is a place all dogs love to be! You will definately have my business for my future kennels.
