From the October 4 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

During a Fox & Friends segment in which he mocked the Occupy Wall Street protests, Fox Business host Stuart Varney stated: "there's not thousands of people," and "the numbers are not there" so they "lack much influence."
From Fox & Friends:
VARNEY: It's hard to ignore. There are more people protesting but it's still numbered in the hundreds. This is not a mass movement. There's not thousands of people out there. I don't think it's been numbered in the thousands. And it's been very well received by the establishment media which kind of likes it, you know, but not well received by the conservative media but look, those people protesting, I think, are Obama's base. And they are rallying for Obama's base. The issues are precisely the same. They're railing against the fat cat bankers, that's the expression that president Obama used. They want to spread the wealth, exactly the same as President Obama. They want to tax the rich. Same as Obama. They hate Wall Street. I think President Obama does not have a soft spot for Wall Street. They hate big oil. They hate -- they want to do something about global warming. The issues are the same. That is President Obama's base. I would not be surprised if he didn't in some way embrace them.
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): Actually, you've just spelled out what they're down there protesting for better than any one of them has done in the interviews that I've seen but besides that point, let me just say this. Do you think this is the left version of the tea party?
VARNEY: Looks kind of like it. The numbers are not there. But they may have some influence on the Democrats. They may keep President Obama way out there on the left. In that sense, maybe they'll have some influence. But in terms of numbers and real power, organization across the country, not even a pale shadow of the tea party.
But Varney's estimate of the crowd attendance at the protest is disputed by reporting from local media.
From the October 4 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:

News coverage of Occupy Wall Street is starting to pick up.
Although the media attention, and specifically the television interest, lags far behind what the emerging Tea Party enjoyed during its early days, the ongoing protests entrenched in New York City's Financial District show new signs of growth as they enter their third week. Mass arrests over the weekend, along with the fact the protests have entered a semi-permanent stage in lower Manhattan, has likely prompted reporters and producers to give the progressive event a second look, after mostly dismissing the happening last month.
However, when covering Occupy Wall Street, the press still refuses to accurately label the protests as what they are: a distinctly populist uprising.
Condemning criminal behavior and the sweeping destruction Wall Street's big banks and their executives have caused the U.S. economy in recent years, Occupy Wall Street's message is without question a populist one. (i.e. "Populism: A political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite.") And it's an agenda that strikes an anti-Wall Street chord with the American people.
So why don't the dispatches from Zuccotti Park, home base for the growing anti-Wall Street movement, include that alluring, on-the-side-of-the-people phrase that so many politicians covet? And more importantly, why isn't the press heralding Occupy Wall Street as a populist movement when reporters and pundits have spent the last three years declaring, in unison, that the right-wing, Obama-hating Tea Party movement is a "populist" one, when it most certainly is not.
The press has been profoundly wrong about the Tea Party since the very beginning. Far from being a populist surge, the partisan-to-the-core movement remains completely divorced from the traditional sense of what "populism" has stood for in American politics. (Reactionary? Yes. Populist? No way.)
The Tea Party practically worships at the alter of big business and millionaires, whom the movement seems willing to sacrifice its political life for in order to protect them from paying higher taxes. That's not populism. But trying hold Wall Street accountable most definitely is.
From the October 3 edition of Fox News' Hannity:

Bill O'Reilly appears ready to take on Glenn Beck's crusade against City University of New York professor Frances Fox Piven. After airing comments Piven made in support of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, O'Reilly called Piven a "communist sympathizer" who O'Reilly said was "outed by Glenn Beck."
What O'Reilly did not point out is that Beck's constant demonization of Piven led to death threats:
On his daily radio and television shows, Glenn Beck has elevated once-obscure conservative thinkers onto best-seller lists. Recently, he has elevated a 78-year-old liberal academic to celebrity of a different sort, in a way that some say is endangering her life.
Frances Fox Piven, a City University of New York professor, has been a primary character in Mr. Beck's warnings about a progressive take-down of America. Ms. Piven, Mr. Beck says, is responsible for a plan to "intentionally collapse our economic system."
Her name has become a kind of shorthand for "enemy" on Mr. Beck's Fox News Channel program, which is watched by more than 2 million people, and on one of his Web sites, The Blaze. This week, Mr. Beck suggested on television that she was an enemy of the Constitution.
Never mind that Ms. Piven's radical plan to help poor people was published 45 years ago, when Mr. Beck was a toddler. Anonymous visitors to his Web site have called for her death, and some, she said, have contacted her directly via e-mail.
Responding to these death threats, several professional academic associations called on Beck to end his vilification of her. He refused to stop his attacks.

On Friday, a segment on The O'Reilly Factor featured producer Jesse Watters speaking with protesters at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration and concluding that they are the "sludge" of "every single left-wing cause" put into a blender. The segment was clearly intended to cast the protesters in a negative light.
Fox News has begun attacking participants of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests across the country, claiming they are "deluded" and have "absolutely no purpose or focus in life." Fox's attacks stand in stark contrast with its relentless promotion and support of the tea party protests of 2009 and 2010.

Closing in on its second week of ongoing protests, Occupy Wall Street continues to raise hackles in downtown Manhattan as street-bound activists rally to end joblessness, stop political corruption, curb health profiteering and to bring an end to wars.
Despite a successful and persistent vigil, the absence of mainstream news coverage over the last ten days has been striking, particularly since the protest are unfolding in the media capital of the world. And particularly since a grassroots uprising on the political right in 2009 was instantly rewarded with endless new coverage. Indeed, Fox News virtually sponsored the entire Tea Party movement.
So far, Occupy Wall Street has had no such luck.
A quick check of Nexis indicates that between September 17-27, Occupy Wall Street was reported on just two dozen times by the cable news channels. That averages out to less than one report each day by each of the 24-hour news outlets. (Note: Nexis does not track MSNBC or Fox News daytime programming.)
Other media have been equally uninterested. The three major network news organizations have done their best to boycott the protest story, each airing just a single report over the same ten-day span. Meanwhile, one hometown New York Times columnist dismissed the Wall Street activists as trying to "pantomime progressivism rather than practicing it knowledgeably."
As The New York Observer observed, "Occupy Wall Street's first media problem was that there was no media." Mark Jurkowitz from Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism confirmed "the story thus far hasn't seemed to gain any real traction in the mainstream media." And Current TV's Keith Olbermann argued persuasively that if Tea Party activists camped out on Wall Street protesting Ben Bernanke, that would be the lead story every night on the network news.
So why the media blank stares for Occupy Wall Street? A news executive at NPR explained that the network hadn't covered the protests during the first ten days because they did not "involve large numbers of people, prominent people, a great disruption or an especially clear objective." (NPR's relented this week; "All things Considered" finally reported on Occupy Wall Street.)
Question: Doesn't NPR's description of Occupy Wall Street almost perfectly capture the early days of the Tea Party when conservative activists had little trouble getting journalists to cover ant-Obama rallies?
In the past few days, jarring video of a New York police officer pepper-spraying protesters has spread across the internet and cable news.
The protesters say that the officer's action was unprovoked. Police, meanwhile, say that the pepper spray was used "appropriately." (Police have also suggested that the video may be misleadingly "edited" -- an allegation denied by USLaw.com, which circulated the video.)
Hopefully, the video evidence will lead to the officer being appropriately vindicated or disciplined. But protesters have also alleged that police are resisting the protesters' efforts to film them. According to Gothamist, "witnesses, including our own photographer, tell us that the NYPD has been specifically targeting photographers and videographers for arrest."
The Occupy Wall Street protests are only the latest flash point in the controversy over citizens filming police -- an activity that, according to an August appeals court ruling, is protected by the First Amendment.
Two months ago, the issue was also the topic of a surreal debate on the July 21 installment of Fox News' The Five.

I hadn't picked up any of the latest voyager books by Kirsten Beyer, but this thread inspired me to give them a go. I'm half way through Full Circle (I think) now.
I much prefer the writing to what we got from Christie Golden in homecoming, which was the last Voyager book I read. That book convinced me to give up on Voyager books entirely.
My problem is that half way through the story stopped entirely and moved to something else. I gather at this point events in another Star Trek book took place. I found it very distracting and it completely broke my enjoyment of the book as I tried to work out what I had missed. Once I did, things got better but I feel like I have to stop and go read a TNG or DS9 book to really appreciate the story. Is this normal for star trek novels or is it just this book?
I don't mind referencing to events in other books, but the break in the plot when it happens is annoying.
All the relaunch books suddenly CONVERGED and were smushed together and you were against your will reading all about Will Riker (gag) and his stupid Titan and all kinds of other people who you would have never heard of unless you had been following every bit of treklit for the last 7 or so years. It sucked.
I haven't got the patience for that. I read DS9 and VOY but against my will I was forced to read TNG and who knows what else while reading the latest VOY books.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Readmission is an important quality indicator following acute care hospitalization. We examined factors associated with hospital readmission in persons with stroke following postacute inpatient rehabilitation. Prospective cohort study including 674 persons with stroke who received rehabilitation at 11 facilities located in eight states and the District of Columbia. Measures included hospital readmission within 3 months of discharge, sociodemographic characteristics, length of stay, primary payment source, comorbidities, stroke type, standardized assessments of motor and cognitive function, depressive symptoms, and social support. Mean age was 71.5 years (SD = 10.5). Twenty-five percent of patients reported high depressive symptoms. Overall, 18% (n = 122) of the sample was rehospitalized. Univariate analyses showed that people who were rehospitalized were more likely (p < .05) to be non-Hispanic white, married, demonstrate less functional independence at discharge, experience longer lengths of stay in rehabilitation, and report more depressive symptoms and lower social support. In the fully adjusted multivariable hierarchical generalized linear model, motor functional status (OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.96-0.99), depressive symptoms (OR = 1.80, 95% CI 1.06-3.05), and social support (OR = 2.28, 95% CI 1.29-4.03) remained statistically significant. In addition, a minority-by-depressive symptoms interaction term also reached statistical significance. Functional status, depressive symptoms, and social support were important predictors of hospital readmission. These variables are not included in most administrative data sets. Future research to develop useful risk-adjustment models for rehospitalization following postacute inpatient rehabilitation services should include large diverse samples and explore practical sources for additional meaningful information.The Journals of Gerontology Series A Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences 03/2012; 67(8):875-81.

I'm ROM flasher lover. I like to flash ROM as I think custom ROM is always better than stock ROM. In order to not losing any of my data in the phone, I always make backup before configure and flash ROM to my smartphone as most of the time you need to erase all the data and setting in the phone. Contact, Gmail and Google data are a must to backup as you need all these basic data for first time turn on after ROM flashing. This is a simple tutorial to show you how to backup all these important data without app needed.
You actually will be requested to sync all these information when you first setup your android phone. You may not remember it. Anyhow, you can do this configuration again after any ROM flashing.
1. Goto Settings- -> Personal => Back up and Reset
2. Check the Back up my data & Automatic Restore. Remember the backup account email.
3. Your contact, gmail and google data will be backup in Google Gmail account in cloud.
Example above is using my Galaxy S3, you may have slightly different UI on your smartphone but should work flawlessly and identical.

Alright... for people wondering how this will affect my metabolism...
Yesterday I went to lunch with my dad and sister at this sh*t mexican restaurant... I ordered the veggie burrito plate, which was a huge burrito filled with steamed green peppers, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, mushrooms, and fresh olives and tomatoes. It was covered with hot sauce and had beans and rice as sides. No cheese or sour cream or guac.
I was able to eat two-thirds the plate before I was overly full. I had one serving of juice before that, but was so full for the rest of the day I could barely drink juice again later. I thought for sure I'd gain like three pounds today, but I still dropped .6 pounds, so I'm down about 32.6 pounds now since I started. I also did not exercise yesterday, and only drank a standard eight glasses of water, opposed to the 12-16 I've had while doing this.
That burrito, even though it was veggie, didn't really feel as healthy as what I'd normally eat. But I think this shows if I take it slow, I shouldn't have too bad of weight gain once I start eating regularly again.

I didnt quote it but some idiot said that your not getting any fiber and losing water weight....I think he must be borderline retarted to think you can lose water weight while living on a water/juice diet...and no fiber? its all vegetables...
People these days have no concept of a healthy diet, they just follow "the food pyramid"...
People call juicers, or vegetarians or vegans extreme, and picture them as sickly and unhealthy...and any weight loss must be unnatural....
Want to see a body you can get from vegetables, sprouts, roots, nuts and fruits?

But I can't agree with you on the losing water weight. You lose mostly water weight initially when you start dieting, and you also shed water weight more consistently when you drink more water. So by only drinking juice with a lot of veggies, which contain a lot of water, you probably end up drinking way more water than you would normally. I upped my water intake to about 1 gallon and a half and i can really tell the difference in how much water i'm retaining compared to days i don't get to drink that much.
Also why avoid dairy?
And Mac Danzig?? Really?? He's about average built imo.
|4 years ago
|class of '09 - away - #59
theres a couple reasons, but other then that mostly because milk now is usually from cows fed horrible "feed" often containing hormones or other garbage. I barely trust eating meat in america. There are dozens of links to higher statistics of MANY diseases attributed to dairy. not many are proven and many may prove to be myth, but in this day and age. Why bother with the risk? its not too difficult to atleast limit dairy intake. It may save your life.
And Mac danzig just shows that vegans arnt necessarily frail and anemic as people think they are. (p.s. im not vegan and if someone told me not to eat chicken i may very well be forced to beat them lol)

You're a savvy shopper! Indeed, everyone can always save a few dollars by simply doing a simple Google search for '[product] coupon code'. Your search for a YNAB coupon code (or specifically a YNAB 4 coupon code) has certainly brought you to the right place. To be frank, as a company we don't do coupon codes anymore. However, there are other YNABers that have some referral links they could get you. That would save you $6 off the price, and earn them a cool six bucks in return. A win win!
To save you some time, here's a 10% off referral link right here.

All of the figure work I have done has been in workshop settings. In each instance, the models have been non-professional, sometimes students, and sometimes recruited through friends of the organizers. In looking back, I would say that perhaps 50% of then have been good to excellent, while the others have ranged from mediocre to horrible. Overall, the distribution pretty much followed a normal bell curve.
Several years ago I tried placing some announcements on strategically-located bulletin boards - post offices, bulletin boards in areas appealing to folks with alternative life styles, photo shops, etc. Didn't get a lot of responses. One was a photographer who had done figure work in college, enjoyed it, and wanted to do more after she got into the "real world". The other was from a guy who seemed to be fixated on size, and one phone conversation was as much contact as I cared to have with the dude. Different experience, but once again the conclusion is normal distribution.

Screw the "gas thingie" comment, having your foot on the break while they're trying to roll your car, dumping cash in her backseat and the fact that she's NEVER PUT GAS IN HER CAR. My concern is: how scary is it that she's on the road with us? And who the hell is she on the phone with in all these videos of her. How annoying is it to be on the phone with someone when they're totally engaged in something else?

My favorite part is when she just dumps the change the guy gives her into the backseat, like she can't be bothered to touch anything less than a hundred dollar bill. What a waste of space, how does someone NOT know that you have to put gas in a car in order for it to run and who has NEVER filled the car she drives with gas? That is so sad because that means someone makes a special trip to the gas station for her in her car everytime she needs gas. _________________________ Oh Hayden!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The city of Memphis is relaxing its requirements for motor vehicle inspections.
Under a new protocol, vehicles failing an on-board diagnostic test will then be given a tailpipe test, which, if passed, means the vehicle passes inspection.
Mayor A C Wharton Jr. said the city consulted with state officials and determined that the city had some latitude in administering the tests. He said the testing has been confusing, frustrating and costly for citizens.
A news release from the city Monday said the on-board diagnostic is the standard vehicle emissions test statewide.

How An "Impossible" Aviation Challenge Led To An Innovation Breakthrough
On June 13, an enormous, ridiculous-looking pedal-powered contraption wafted itself into midair and made history. The helicopter, called Atlas, was designed to win an aviation challenge--the Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition--that had defeated scores of aircraft designers and engineers for 33 years. The task sounds simple: Create a human-powered aircraft that can hover three meters in the air for at least a minute without drifting outside a 10-meter square.

Ivan Yuen (right) in a file photo. He prefers to train on his own, sparring occasionally with national No. 1 Ong Beng Hee and the younger boys.
KUALA LUMPUR: Most athletes would be lost without a coach, but national No. 4 squash player Ivan Yuen is not too concerned as he prefers to train on his own.
The 24-year-old Selangor player used to train under national coach Peter Genever.
But Ivan, who is pursuing a degree in business administration at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), did not make much progress under the English coach.
With no one else to coach him, he decided to train on his own.
"I train on my own and sometimes spar with (national number one and world No. 27) Ong Beng Hee.
"I also spar with the younger boys," said Ivan, who turned pro five years ago.
Ivan, who is ranked 68th in the world, said that despite having no coach he is still confident of winning his first competition of the year.
The former Asian junior champion will feature in the Squash Racquets Association of Malaysia (SRAM) NSC Series No. 1 tournament, which begins on Monday at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil.
Ivan has been given top billing for the tournament and he will face a qualifier in the satellite tournament.
Barring any upset, he is expected to face second seed Harinder Pal Sandhu of India, who is ranked 78th in the world in the final.
Despite his busy study schedule, Ivan will also feature in some upcoming overseas tournaments – the El Gouna International in Egypt from April 10-18 and the Hong Kong Football Club tournament from May 19-24.
Having won the NSC satellite tournament last February, Ivan admints he hopes to feature in the Asian Team Championship in Hong Kong in May.
"I believe I will be one of the four players selected for the Asian team," said Ivan.
Besides Beng Hee and Ivan, the two other players to feature in the Asian team meet are national number two and three Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan and Mohd Asyraf Azan.
Ivan is also hoping to make his debut at the Asian Games in Incheon in September.

Back in 2010, I wondered when one of the most ergregious households energy guzzlers, the clothes dryer, would at long last join its sibling, the washing machine, and be deemed as Energy Star-worthy. At the time, it seemed to be one of those "don't hold your breath scenarios" with the folks at Energy Star stating that:
EnergyStar does not label clothes dryers because most dryers use similar amounts of energy, which means there is little difference in the energy use between models.
The Department of Energy's Appliance Standards program conducted a detailed study which found that the clothes dryers on the U.S. market do not vary significantly from each other in terms of energy consumption. This is also the reason why the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) does not require clothes dryers to have a yellow EnergyGuide label.
Reads a statement released by the EPA earlier this week:
Over 80 percent of U.S. homes have a clothes dryer, and these appliances account for approximately six percent of residential electricity consumption. Dryer models that meet the new Energy Star requirements are likely to have improved auto termination sensors, which help reduce energy use by more effectively ending the drying cycle once clothes are dry. Among the more efficient gas and electric dryers that will earn the Energy Star, consumers should expect to encounter a promising new technology. Heat pump dryers recapture the hot air used by the dryer and pump it back into the drum to dry more clothes. By re-using most of the heat, it creates a heat pump dryer that is more efficient and avoids the need for ducts leading heat out of the laundry room.
This new Energy Star specification also establishes optional 'connected' criteria for residential clothes dryers. Energy Star dryers with connected functionality will offer consumers convenience and energy-savings features, such as an alert indicating there is a performance issue or feedback to consumers on the energy-efficiency of different cycle selections. These products will also be "smart grid" ready, meaning they will give consumers the option to connect their dryer with their local utility to save money on their energy bills, where those services are offered, and also facilitate broader electric power system efficiency.
While high-efficiency clothes dryers with heat pump technology and smart grid-readiness are certainly a welcome and long overdue addition to the stable of existing Energy Star-branded products, the best way to save on laundry room-related energy bills is to, of course, channel the penny-pinching granny buried deep (or not so deep) inside of you by eschewing the dryer altogether and hanging your damp knickers outdoors to dry whenever possible: simple, cheap, effective.

Additional Location Information
Mykonos is part of a cluster of islands including Delos, Rhenia and some rocky islets.Since the fifties, Mykonos has always been one of the most popular tourist islands of the Mediterranean.
Chora, as the town of Mykonos is commonly known, impresses and casts its spell on the visitor from the first moment, with its beautiful position, scale and architecture. Despite the great tourist development of the island, it manages to maintain its cycladic features and traditional look, like few other towns.
Its cube-shaped, all white houses glow in the sunlight, scattered wisely and orderly in the countless labyrinthine alleys and streets with whitewashed cobbled pavements. A little further, on a low hill, the windmills, having stood for centuries, compose a picture of unparalleled beauty in combination with red domes and bell towers of the countless churches. In the harbour, a small colorful flotilla of caiques and fishing boats completes this unique picture with its vivid colors.
All in all, maintaining the form of the traditional architecture of the Cyclades on the modern buildings ensures a unique feeling of harmony to the town and interior of Mykonos. Nothing can be compared, though, to the emotion inspired by the enthralling space of ancient Delos. A real town with its streets and markets, public buildings and temples, luxurious houses and shops, cisterns, columns, mosaics.

I used this post to change my gearbox oil on my school car which had approx 72k on the clock,definitely the gears felt more rough then my mk6 so changing oil was a must. Make sure the oil is 1cm below from the top of gearbox which gets put in from the reverse switch. As i must of done 1.5cm below and my box got a slight rattle. As i have now topped it up car has over 75k and runs soo smooth its unbelievable.i would definitely recommend an gearbox oil change my gearbox took about 2.8 litres because im guessing i sucked out most old oil.
Another topic id like to add is the engine oil i used was castrol 5w30 before that i used shell oil. These made extra unnecessary noises (i notice as im mostly in passenger side so can have a good listen out) last weekend i used formula f which the dealers sell and was amazed to realise that this is the correct oil as my car is so peaceful and sounds like it did when i first bought it when 10 months old.
So these are the two important steps id recommend to anyone who wants the car to be like it did when it first came out of showroom.
