3-hour Diet Anyone try this?
Posted 02 February 2008 - 11:47 AM
Just wondering if anyone is following it or would like to do it together. I got the book on www.half.com for about $6 (with shipping). I also purchased the cookbook (for about $12 with shipping - a $24 book new) and the "on the go" book (again, about $6).
If you are following this, would love to hear your thoughts and if you'd like to "buddy" up or start a group, let me know.

A lady I know at the post office did this diet. It worked great for her. She lost over 50 pounds! Problem is you HAVE to keep it up. When she stopped doing it, she gained most of it back:-(
I can barely remember to eat 3 meals, let alone every 3 hours. I just don't have time to get meals together that much.
I have heard it really does work though.
Posted 14 June 2008 - 06:40 AM
I know what you mean. It seems like it takes a lot of preparation and planning. I think I just need to eat better and less and become more active.
Thanks for the input.

Seriously, though, I just changed one thing in my diet this past year and lost 18 lbs. Now I need to change my exercise habit a bit and I'm hoping to lose another 18 this coming year. I would be THRILLED with that kind of results. I just don't ever want to be as heavy as I was last June again. And I really don't want to lose weight too quickly. I didn't put it all on in a month so I have no desire to take it off that fast either. I don't think it's really good for your heart. Slow and steady wins the race. That's my motto now.
So, while I'd love to be your buddy and help out, I could never commit to something that actually makes me do serious prep work. I'm kind of a fly by the seat of your pants girl.
I hope you find someone to work with you, though! Good luck!

In a nutshell, he's how the diet is set up:
Within an hour of waking you have a 400 calorie breakfast.
Three hours later a 100 calorie snack.
Three hours later a 400 calorie lunch.
Three hours later a 100 calorie snack.
Three hours later a 400 calorie dinner.
Three hours later a 50 calorie treat anything you want but not more than 50 calories worth.
Basically, you are eating 1450 calories a day. By eating every three hours, you are keeping your metabolism up and your blood sugar stable, and apparently don't get hungry or have cravings.
Just wish I had the discipline to do it.

Jules Bianchi will partner Max Chilton at Marussia in the 2013, the team have confirmed.
Luiz Razia was initially named as Timo Glock's replacement but the Brazilian was withdrawn from last week's test in Barcelona due to what was is believed to have difficulties with his sponsors.
It now appear that Razia has been unable to come up with the money required to secure the drive and Marussia have moved quickly to secure the services of Bianchi.
"Having made clear the basis on which we must operate in 2013, and given the steps we had taken to put that new structure in place, we had no alternative but to remain true to the principles which we had identified as being key to securing our long-term future," explained team principal John Booth.
"Jules is a proven talent who is highly regarded within the paddock," he added.
"He has been on a clear trajectory towards Formula One and has achieved some impressive performances through the various feeder formulae.
"His obvious pedigree put him on the radar for a number of teams over the winter as a driver ready to step up to Formula One.
"Jules can now look forward to a very swift initiation into the team over the course of the next two days here in Barcelona."
The move marks a remarkable turnaround for Bianchi who on Thursday discovered that Adrian Sutil had beaten him to the second seat at Force India.
"I am thrilled to have secured a race seat with Marussia," said the 23-year-old.
"Racing in Formula One this season has been my goal over the winter, and after evaluating a number of options I am very excited to have this opportunity to demonstrate I am ready for this next step in my racing career.
"I am also very grateful to the Ferrari academy that has always supported me and given me the possibility to mature as a racing driver, enabling me to be fully prepared for this new exciting challenge.
"The next two weeks of preparation for the season will be incredibly busy, but I am ready to get started tomorrow with my first day in the car."

On our most recent episode of the Midwest Peace Process podcast, we talked about the current level of frustration over gun violence in America, and the fruitless scramble to find the answer. This frustation is also evident among those we talked to in our subsequent "On The Street" interviews. This frustration inevitably leads many of us to engage in age-old debates, repeating the same conversations over and over again, accomplishing nothing of substance. We hop on and off the proverbial merry-go-round, expecting it to take us somewhere new each time, but we are always left disappointed.
People in positions of power are perhaps subject to this frustration moreso than the rest of us. They are in the spotlight, and they have high expectations placed upon them. If they do nothing, they could be viewed as out of touch, preoccupied, or the unpardonable sin of not caring at all. No one wants to be perceived this way, but politicians especially, for whom a lack of empathy can easily result in the end of a career. (I'll leave the discussion of whether choosing politics as a career should even be an option for another time.) A story in the Post today refers to an Alderman in Lake Saint Louis who said that "he doesn't know the answer to confronting gun violence in light of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But he thinks the city should say something." So he admits that he doesn't know how to fix the problem, but he feels compelled to do something anyway. This feeling that something must be done is natural for most people to have, I think. But should we give in to it? Isn't it likely that the steps we take out of sheer frustration will have unintended consequences that may be worse? As with many things, we may find that the cure could be worse than the disease.
So allow me to break some new ground here. We don't talk about ridding the world of influenza, do we? No, we long ago realized the futility of trying to control something that cannot be controlled. Instead, we talk about individual protection (through the use of vaccines). Perhaps it is time to stop talking about ridding the world of guns, or other similarly futile approaches to controlling them, and instead accept the reality that they are not going to go away, and focus instead on individual protection. Furthermore, in this country, we are fond of saying "freedom isn't free" when we talk about the hard-working members of our military. They are portrayed as paying a price (sometimes the ultimate price) for the rest of us, and we honor these sacrifices on holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Well, perhaps it is time for a new holiday where we reflect on the sacrifices made by victims of gun violence, and the price they have paid for the rest of us -- because our freedom to be armed is also not free. We already know the price of free speech is tolerance of hate groups like the KKK. Perhaps it is time to acknowledge that the price of our freedom to keep and bear arms is that we as a nation must occasionally endure tragedies like those at Sandy Hook. Perhaps it is time to step off of this merry-go-round.

This is not a merry-go-round we want to get off but it is a merry-go round we want to stop. We have lost most respect of our weapons in this country. As a military person, no one gets to handle any weapon without passing rigorous training. A background check is not satisfactory for one to purchase any gun. It is time to make training mandatory for anyone to have or own a gun no matter if it is an assault weapon or not. This includes having and using proper storage devices and safes for guns where one would have to have a cutting torch to open. One must be very cognitive to be a gun owner, sure they can be used for sport but they are designed to kill. That carries a heavy responsibility and respect.
Jerry Pipes
9:19 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Dino, I agree that gun ownership carries with it a great deal of individual responsibility. But in my mind, mandating these things through a series of laws (that necessitate a bureaucracy to enforce) makes it more complicated than it needs to be. We all agree (by convention) to drive on the right side of the road. Every day, we pass thousands of cars, separated by mere inches, any one of which could kill us in an instant. We keep our distance from opposing traffic not because the law says we must, or because there is a fortified wall between us -- we do it because we have all been taught to appreciate what could happen if we don't. This is the preferred model for reducing gun violence, in my opinion. In the past, teaching our young people how to handle and use firearms safely was a solemn ritual, and it still is today for those who engage in it. Sadly, too few do.
9:41 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Then there is that pesky Constitution you were sworn to uphold and protect. It does not say there are conditions such as you describe to owning a gun. SCOTUS has upheld that states and municipalities cannot unreasonably restrict such ownership. So, if that is what you want to do, you will need to amend the Constitution. The founders wanted citizens to have the right to own guns, but also gave you the route to change things. It is very difficult for a purpose. Otherwise, the country would be in chaos every time an administration changed. I agree that gun ownership is a huge responsibility. But, so is tinkering with our founding principles. The current president, a guy who was an instructor of Constitutional Law (he was not a professor), should know better and will get a swift lesson from the SCOTUS if he tries to overstep. While Rome is smoldering, we continue to get sidetracked on these social issues instead of focusing on the cancer (the debt) that is destroying our economy. We already have a real threat of the filing of Articles of Impeachment against Obama if he oversteps on this issue. I have no doubt those articles could pass in the GOP controlled House. I also have no doubt he would never be convicted in the DEM controlled Senate. But, it won't stop our National attention from being diverted for months from the real issues we need to address. We are led by dopes who don't care about anything except staying in power and keeping their emoluments.

Thanks for the reply Jerry, but just like driving, you need a license, I don't see where a day long weapons training course which will give you a permit to purchase a gun a hindrance to our constitution. It is just due diligence. I think when all is said and done over the tragedy at the Sandy Hill grade school we will find that it was this mentally ill young man's mother who did not secure her weapons in a secure manner that allowed him access. I could write a dissertation on the reducing gun violence only to come to the conclusion that it is not the gun but the destruction of family, drugs and gangs.

10:24 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
So, your suggestion for getting off the "gun control merry-go-round" is to declare one side (gun rights advocates) the clear winner? I don't see that going anywhere, seeing as how the other side (gun safety advocates) is still around, and still worried about gun deaths. You have not presented a gordian-knot-cutting solution, just your own position.
Jerry Pipes
10:48 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Fair enough. Eliminating guns from the Earth is not a reasonable goal, but I can't help but feel that it is still at the core of every anti-gun activist's arguments -- it is what motivates them. And we can't stop the merry-go-round and head in a new direction as long as they continue to maintain some glimmer of hope that this can be achieved.
11:10 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Jerry, I'm on the gun rights side myself, but I keep an eye the other guys, and what they are actually arguing for. Exceedingly, exceedingly few - few enough to be ignored as the bitter fringe - actually want to get rid of all guns, and I think even that position effectively goes away with a little education/familiarity with guns. The vast majority of gun safety advocates are looking for some sort of targeted solution, like more training, requiring gun locks, background checks, and actually getting rid of a relatively small selection of guns -- the ones that really have no purpose other than killing people, either in mass, or by stealth (ie fully automatic assault weapons, or handguns that can be concealed by a criminal). No one is after hunting guns, or most sporting guns. In general, the left is ambivalent about gun control, which is why it hasn't made much of a move in recent years. The real argument is not about owning guns or using them for daily activities (hunting, shooting). Rather, it's about how to deal with three fringe cases -- criminals/crazies, accidental deaths, and overthrowing the government. The first two worry gun safety advocates, and the last isn't a convincing counter-argument for them.
I think it is important to know your enemy, not just a strawman caricature. Don't believe the hype.
Jerry Pipes
11:17 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
You are absolutely right about the three fringe cases. My essay above (I hope) addresses the first. The second can be handled by education (as I said in a comment above) at a young age. And the third may be ignored by some, but at their own peril.
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

2:41 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Great post SGB. As for Jerry, where do people get the idea that Obama and his government are somehow going to turn into a tyrannical government? SGB basically laid out what gun safety advocates are looking for and none of those have the looks of a tyrannical government. Also, I briefly flipped on Fox News and saw that there were gunshots at a St. Louis college. Does anyone have any info on that?
Jerry Pipes
7:26 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Mr. Revere, I don't know that I have any ideas that the Obama administration in particular is going to turn into a tyrannical government. My fear, like Jefferson's, is of government in general, regardless of who holds the White House.
8:07 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
"I don't know that I have any ideas that the Obama administration in particular is going to turn into a tyrannical government"
Do you often not have any ideas about the things you intimate, Mr. Pipes? How very non-committal of you.
In the many "conversations" I've participated in with those who advocate the arming of the citizenry with semi-automatic weapons and large cap mags, I've often asked why they need such weapons. The two main answers I've received have been that it's fun (an honest answer to be sure), and/or that it keeps the government at bay. The latter reasoning has largely been expressed in melodramatic terms involving the suggestion of armed action in some future revolution ("Wolverines!").
The fact that you prevaricate when answering shows me that some part of you knows that it's an inherently ridiculous notion.
Jerry Pipes
6:01 am on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Caffeinated, let me spell it out for you. I wasn't trying to dodge the question, I just wanted to make it clear that I am not on an anti-Obama rant. I don't care who occupies the White House, the government is dangerous. I do believe that history has shown armed action against our government is inevitable. No government lasts forever. Will it happen in my lifetime? I doubt it. Will it happen in my children's lifetime. Possibly. Regardless, human nature being what it is, the option has to remain on the table if tyranny is to be kept in check at all.

The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess and carry firearms. In 2008 and 2010, the Supreme Court issued two landmark decisions officially establishing this interpretation. In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. In dicta, the Court listed many longstanding prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession as being consistent with the Second Amendment. In McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment limits state and local governments to the same extent that it limits the federal government.

What ever happend to the "A Well Regulated" part of
the 2nd Amendment. Seemingly, gun advocates are willing to let this part go.
Jerry Pipes
11:44 am on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
I've heard it said that the word "regulated" did not mean the same thing back then that it means now. A well-regulated militia was a well-trained militia.
12:16 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
No, that's latter-day rationalizing. Regulated meant regulated then, too.
A standing national army was rejected, considered to be too much power for the central government to possess. They opted for state-level citizen militias, that would join together under a leader in case of outside threat, as they had done in the Revolution. The fed govt was limited from weakening a given state's militia, so it could not dominate the state, or allow another state to dominate the given state. Hence the 2nd amendment. This bears up through a plain-text reading, and is reinforced if you read the official correspondence and debates of the time (Thomas Payne's letters and personal correspondence between founders can give different impressions if selectively quoted). This was true for 200 years, despite repeated legal challenges. That changed in 2008, when the Supreme Court finally reversed itself and recognized an individual right to bear arms.
I strongly believe in the individual right to bear arms. I wish the founders had, too, and had put it in the constitution. They didn't, but judicial activism has recently solved that problem.
Terry Cooper
1:32 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
The rocket scientist in DC announced today that their proposed gun ban will include multi round clips over 10 and semi automatic weapons, two things that have been banned in the past and have had no effect on violence.
The thing that aggravates me is that what they are proposing to ban is not the cause of the problem. 2% of gun killings are due to "Assault Rifles" more people are killed in this country with knives. Why bother with such an exercise in futility?
If you could prove that this would make a difference I'd be all for it.
Terry Cooper
1:34 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
"Since the federal ban expired in September 2004, murder and overall violent-crime rates have actually fallen. In 2003, the last full year before the law expired, the U.S. murder rate was 5.7 per 100,000 people. Preliminary numbers for 2011 show that the murder rate has fallen to 4.7 per 100,000 people. In fact, murder rates fell immediately after September 2004, and they fell more in the states without assault-weapons bans than in the states with them." John R. Lott Jr., Ph.D., National Review, July 27, 2012
1:36 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
I'm always hesitant to enter gun rights/safety discussions, but there are a couple of points in your article that I find troubling.
I STRONGLY disagree with the notion that mass shootings could be considered collateral for our constitutional option to own firearms. The thought of simply accepting a tragedy of the magnitude of that experienced in Newtown, Connecticut, and then attributing it to be necessary in some vetting process of the constitution is morally disturbing. I find such a line of thought to be inhumane and offensive.
The second disagreement I have with your article is in equating gun violence to contracting influenza. Although the oft quoted number of flu-related deaths per year in the US (~36,000) is comparable to recent statistics concerning deaths in the US related to firearms (~32,000, almost two-thirds of which are suicides), the nature of the two is quite different. In addition to gun violence being a man-made problem, I would suggest that crimes involving a firearm are more dangerous to society than the flu. Between 5%-20% (15.5 million - 62 million people) of the US population contract some form of influenza, while (as of 2009 statistics) 383,987 (~0.12% of US population) people were victims of crime involving a firearm. Disregarding other factors would then say, someone contracting the flu has up to a ~0.23% chance of dieing while a victim of a crime involving a firearm (sans suicides) has a ~3.1% chance of dieing.
Jerry Pipes
7:40 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
BT, my language was deliberately provocative, to spark discussion. I was not trying to be offensive, but I do believe that this notion that we can somehow prevent mass shootings is a dangerous myth, and those who continue to propagate it are doing a disservice to us all. My comparison to the flu was nothing more than a way to illustrate that there are things we eventually stop trying to eradicate, and simply learn to live with. And it is my opinion that we have reached that point where mass shootings are concerned.
9:52 am on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Mr. Pipes,
I pray that I am never reduced to accepting mass murder as necessary to sustain individual rights. If mass shootings must be endured, I pray that I never see the day that my soul does not ache upon hearing of such a tragedy. I do not, and will not, accept mass shootings as a requisite for modern-day life in the United States of America.
I do not see the need to view a gun rights/safety discussion in terms of mutual exclusion. Can we not work to reduce mass shootings while also adhering to the second amendment?
I sincerely hope I have misunderstood you, but you have been quite clear in separate instances regarding this matter. In my view, the paramount right of every individual is life itself.
Jerry Pipes
11:39 am on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think this is the new reality. We can stomp our feet and say we will not accept mass shootings as a part of life, but in the meantime, the shooters just keep shooting. And consider for just one moment how radically different the dialog on gun control would become, if we *could* all accept this and move on.
You asked, can we not work to reduce mass shootings while also adhering to the second amendment? I would ask you, can we not work to reduce terrorist attacks while also adhering to the Bill of Rights? Sadly, the answer to both of these questions is apparently no.

Jerry could you elaborate on your terrorist point? Because all the checking done at airports post 9/11 seems to be done in an effort to reduce terrorist attacks. Also, how do measures such as not allowing those who are mentally disabled to carry guns effect the second amendment and those who are responsible with fire arms?

It is a sad reality that mass shootings, although still rare, are occurring more often in the USA.
I'm most concerned about the proliferation of the desensitization you are recommending. I cannot bring myself to view mass murder as a variable in a balance sheet for the Bill of Rights.
As for your comment regarding terrorist attacks, I presume you are alluding to the enforcement of the Patriot Act. For the record, I feel the Patriot Act oversteps the Constitution. It is interesting that you bring this up though; since the Patriot Act has been enacted in the name of protecting the citizens of the United States of America while, in the view of many, neglecting some of the very rights afforded those citizens by the Bill of Rights. Why should the Second Amendment garner special treatment and not also be overshadowed by modern legislation in the name of protecting the general public?

BT, you are looking at that in the exact opposite way that I am. If you start with the premise that the Constitution is there to act as a check on the government's power, then no government action should infringe on any part of the Bill of Rights, including the 2nd Amendment. So I wasn't drawing the comparison to preventing terrorist attacks to say, hey we're violating everyone's 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendment rights, why not add the 2nd in there too? I'm saying that the steps the government has taken since 9/11 to prevent terrorist attacks (the Patriot Act, TSA, warrantless wiretaps, FISA courts, Gitmo, extraordinary rendition, etc.) have significantly impacted individual liberties (and I hope that is obvious to anyone who has been paying attention). I don't personally believe that we are any safer from attack than we were before. It has just initiated an "arms race" between the government and the terrorists. Just like banning <insert weapon name here> will escalate the race between the government and mass murderers, and in the end won't make anyone safer. The murderer who can't get a gun, will attack a classroom with a sword instead. Or will build a bomb. Or will crash his car into a school bus. Or...
In the end, we all lose. We all lose our freedoms, and we lose the lives of the victims. I think I'm okay with only losing one of those.

Mr. Revere, those measures don't effect the 2nd Amendment. That's a different approach to solving the problem, and I don't have any issue with that. I will probably take issue with the ways in which it is implemented, but I agree in general with the concept of preventing the mentally ill from obtaining firearms. I'm not sure how you do that without violating people's rights to privacy, and doctor-patient confidentiality. I think it has to start with close family members taking responsibility for those who cannot take responsibility for themselves or their behavior. But beyond that, I'm not sure how you do it.
3:39 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Thanks for the clarification, I did misunderstand you in your earlier post.
1:40 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
I ran out of room above, but I also wanted to voice my approval for a day of remembrance for the lives lost due to gun violence. Good idea. Similar to what was done the week after the tragedy at Sandy Hook, a simple moment of silence and reflection seems appropriate.

Jerry, thanks for your article and for the important, continuing dialog it has stimulated. Just three quick points for everyone's consideration:
1. Concerning one of our first and fundamental freedoms, the 1st Amendment includes: "Congress shall make no law.....abriding the freedom of speech." But this freedom is not absolute. Congress may not make such a law, but our common law courts can, as slander and libel are against the law; so is yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. Is the 2nd Amendment and the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" absolute or should it be adapted from 1791 to 2013?
2. In 2011, the US number of deaths resulting from firearms was 32,163, including 11.101 firearm homicides, but with 19,766 deaths by gun suicide; and the remaining 1,296 accidental firearm deaths. Handgun homicides numbered 899 and long-gun homicudes 576, but (other) gun homicides were 9,603 - anyone know what other means?
3. While guns are at the top of the list, my research says that "arms" back in 1791 meant "weapons" and the right to bear weapons, of any and all kinds, including guns, knives, clubs, swords, etc. So, if this was applied equally to 2013, could it include bombs, land mines, missles, bazookas, tanks, WMD's etc.? Hopefully, most US citizens would, out of logic and reason, draw the line and eliminate many of these options. And that's the current debate - what line, if any, should now be drawn given the broad arsenal and types of firearms. Thoughts?
Terry Cooper
2:21 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
On point number 1 I think the 2nd is very clear and concise. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
2, I don't know what it refers to but as the data you are putting up 576 are long guns, this is the important data since this is what would relate to the guns they would like to ban. That amounts to about 2% doesn't that tell you we are trying to ban the wrong thing and this is a waste of time?
3. WMD I'm pretty sure are illegal to own already and if they aren't it's like owning a fully automatic machine gun, while you can own one legally in like 37 states, there is a mountain of red tape one must go through with the fine folks at the BATF. It makes it kind of senseless.
3:24 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Well regulated, when written, meant some military training. Bearing arms, in an organized defense requires some military training, that is only accomplished collectivelly. I dont know much about the history of state militias but maybe they just were never disciplined enough to be effective
11:09 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
The late Charlton Heston said it best, "they (meaning the government) can take my gun when they pry it from my cold dead hands". The liberal bafoon in Washington DC is hell bent on seizing as many of our private citizens guns as possible over the next 4 years at which time he will based upon some fictitious state of emergency, issue an executive order setting aside the 22nd amendment which currently limits him to two terms as President. By that time he will have stacked the Supreme Court such that they will be in his hip pocket leaving an armed revolt by the citizens in the street as the only option left to prevent him from establishing his dictatorship.
10:10 am on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Mr. Heston didn't originate the phrase, but he certainly delivered it to make it his own.
I recall hearing similar fears of gun seizure four years ago. I'm not aware of those fears having come to fruition. Although I have seen charts indicating gun ownership exceeds that of four years ago.
Furthermore, I'm not aware of any proposals to support your claims. I might also point out that, being a member of the Executive branch, the President cannot amend the constitution.

Conceptually, I am on the President's side on the gun issue. But considering:
- There are already 300 million guns owned in America that any new regulation will not effect.
- Even the CDC concludes that the 1994-2004 assault weapons ban was ineffective or inconclusive.
- That there are millions of law abiding owners of these semi-automatic guns, used for self-protection, target practice or hunting.
- That handguns are responsible for approximately 9,000 gun homicides in the US, whereas "long rifle" homicides are around 500.
- Such proposed bans are strongly opposed by the NRA, a powerful and influential lobby with Congress.
As such, here's another thought: eliminate the proposed gun ban (which gives the NRA what it really wants) and focus all efforts on meaningful protection and safety issues, like universal background checks, gun training, licensing, recertification, school security and tracking and identifying those with mental illness and keeping guns out of their hands. In the past, the NRA has always been on the opposing side. Well, thinking outside of the box, what if the NRA was a true ally, instead of an opponent, with both sides working together, unified, to solve the problem in a smart, effective and balanced way.
Jerry Pipes
6:01 am on Thursday, January 17, 2013
Dave, I tend to agree that the NRA would be a powerful ally, although I am somewhat skeptical that the Obama administration could bridge the current divide. And the NRA is already very committed to promoting gun safety (Google Eddie Eagle if you're not familiar with their campaign). Having said that, I'm not really a fan of the NRA. I would prefer people who value the 2nd Amendment join the JPFO.
11:08 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
now Obama comes after our guns, next will be our women
12:38 am on Thursday, January 17, 2013
where in any of Obama's executive orders do you see him coming after your guns? You are simply an uniformed man who thinks the government is going to turn into some sort of dicatorship. And I would go look at a couple of Republican statements about women (Todd Aiken, Richard Mourdock) before making another senseless claim against Obama.

previous Season 2 | next Season 4 |
Season 3 takes place five months after the Liars learn that Hanna's best friend, Mona Vanderwaal, is the infamous "A". When returning for their senior year, Spencer, Hanna, Aria and Emily continue to face the on-going mystery regarding Alison's death. A new "A" also rises after the downfall of Mona's revelation. The new "A" is revealed to be a team of people who are expected to follow specific orders given by a blonde woman wearing a red coat. The first half of the season focuses on the unexpected exhumation of Alison's body, the investigation regarding Maya's death, and uncovering the Black Swan from the masquerade ball. Hanna attempts to find answers by visiting Mona at Radley Sanitarium while Aria is introduced to Maggie, Ezra's ex-girlfriend whom he had a child with. Emily comes face to face with Maya's killer and Spencer begins to feel betrayed by her own family when her Mother agrees to take Garrett's side for his upcoming trial. After Toby is revealed as the second "A" team member, the second half of the season shifts focus to the mystery surrounding the woman in the red coat. Spencer quickly becomes withdrawn from her friends after finding out Toby's secret and Aria begins to suspect that her father might have been involved in Alison's death. Meanwhile, Hanna attempts to reconnect Caleb with his biological father and Emily is more motivated than ever to figure out who murdered Alison after it is revealed that she spent the summer before being buried alive in Cape May with Cece and Detective Wilden.

Later in the season, Hanna and Caleb break-up. Hanna is also accused of stealing Alison's body by Officer Wilden. Hanna and Caleb later get back together and continue their relationship secretly so "A" wouldn't mess with it.

My Mom has been diagnosed with a form of lung cancer that her doctors who practice Western medicine say they can't cure. She's been given 4-6 months to live. Therefore, my Mom wants to try alternative medicine/treatments--natural cures. And we've found there are so many practitioners and treatments, etc. We're even receiving different recommendations from friends and family. It's overwhelming. Because I assume there are a lot of healers who participate in this forum, I wanted to ask what's the best way to determine whether, for example, someone calling themselves a naturopath, etc., is a "quack" or is a practitioner who really knows what they're doing (a professional)? We're really looking for someone who understands the power of nutrition/herbs, etc., to help the body slow down (and cure if possible) the cancer. My Mom might be open to Eastern medicine as well, but not "crystal therapy," etc.---she wouldn't go for that.
We live in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States, so if someone wants to PM me the name of a good alternative healing practitioner in this area who's experienced with treating cancer, I'd be most appreciative.

Assemblyman Bill Monning forcefully told opponents of the Parker Flats location for a local veterans cemetery Friday they were wrong if they thought another Fort Ord site could be chosen.
Nevertheless, proponents of the cemetery will have to wait at least another month for a vote by the Fort Ord Reuse Authority Board of Directors reaffirming the locale.
The board was set to vote on a motion to "decouple" the cemetery proper from the 28-acre "endowment parcel," a move that was intended to speed the cemetery project. The sale of the endowment parcel, now proposed for the controversial Monterey Downs project, is intended to raise the $1.5 million-plus needed as seed money for the cemetery.
After objections by scores of public speakers and Seaside Mayor Felix Bachofner and Councilman Ian Oglesby, who felt the motion usurped Seaside's land-use authority, the board voted 12-1 to reject that move, with Monterey County Supervisor Jane Parker dissenting.
On a motion from Oglesby, the board then voted unanimously to instruct the FORA staff to return to the Nov. 16 meeting with a resolution that would place designation of both parcels into the ongoing base reuse plan reassessment process for formal action early next year.
Oglesby said he is not confident the matter will pass unanimously, which would require it to come back for a second vote in December. Parker and Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett, both of whom support the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery, have said
The delay evoked groans from the veterans and spouses who were assembled to demand FORA amend its maps to show the location of the cemetery designated in agreements more than 15 years ago. But Monning assured them the ongoing discussion had provoked greater buy-in from all the stakeholders, which would expedite the matter in the end.
"As distressing as this has been," he said, "this is the importance of this board pursuing this in a deliberate and expeditious manner at the designated site."
And Monning put environmentalists opposed to the location of the cemetery on notice that the site on Parker Flats Road had been approved by FORA, the state and the federal government and would not change.
"The federal approval does not transfer to an alternative site," he said. "If you think (it will), that's wishful thinking."
Alec Alaga of Congressman Sam Farr's office agreed.
"If it's going to be done, it's going to be at this site," he said. "And that will happen."
Opponents object that the land selected includes pristine oak woodland. Other areas on Fort Ord, they say, would have less impact on natural resources.
The board also unanimously voted to accept the final scoping report for the base reuse plan reassessment, which is due by Dec. 31. The report includes all public comments that were submitted for consideration in the reassessment.
Michael Groves of EMC Planning, which is preparing the plan, said a reassessment report further defining the "menu of items" to be considered for action next year will be released next week.
A public hearing on that report is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 30, with the resulting input being delivered for board action Nov. 16. Once the issues to be considered have been established, the board can direct staff in January how to prioritize matters for action.
The board continued two items that were on its agenda: the Preston Park budget and reconsideration of its vote to adopt a "formulaic approach" to developer impact fees.

See all my reviews
Very comfortable, wore it the other night. The color is great. It works as a nice jacket over a T. Bought another one liked it so much.
Looking for a Spring Layer?
The jacket runs a little small, did exchange for the next size and it fits nicely. I do like to wear my clothes a bit on the loose side. Very happy with the quality and the color. I did wear the jacket over a 3/4 sleeve T and it fit nicely. My arms are a bit short so I rolled the sleeves. Did receive alot of compliments. Nice layering or by itself.
Coat #2
By Annie
from Sebastopol, CA
Previously, I purchased this coat in Dark Bluebell and liked the style and versatility so much that I decided to order another in Herb.
Great everyday jacket
from Murfreesboro Tn
I use this jacket almost everyday as a thin layer inside during cooler months. Also as an additional layer under a windbreaker outside.The armholes are a little high for layering underneath and the jacket a little too fitted for the mature figure. I solved both problems by ordering a larger size. The tupelo jacket is a full size smaller than the previous tupelo shirt. However, I love this soft microfleece fabric and the slightly longer length! Worn alone, it doesn't look so much like a trail garment and looks neater for running errands. After reading other reviews, I was concerned about the back elastic but it only gathers about an inch.
I will continue to buy this product
By Sadie B
from Little Switzerland, NC
I live and work on our farm in Little Switzerland, NC where as you might guess is COLD in winter and in our little farmhouse!! I love warm jackets and those that let me wear thermals underneath!
love this jacket! Warm, soft, in style
I needed a warm, stylish fleece jacket. The 2 ordered fit me and fit my requirements for such a product! I love Woolrich products and I was glad to find these on sale.
Not for me.
By Marsha Jane
from Tucson, AZ
I wish I could recommend this jacket. I thought was disappointed in the fit and the quality. The elastic at the waist looks tacky.
Color and Comfort
After reading the other comments that mentioned that the fleece was lightweight, I ordered the next largest size thinking that I would layer it over a shirt and warm vest. To this end it is perfect. The color Dark Bluebell is beautiful....one of my favorite shades of blue. I recommend this coat if you're looking for comfort and a "go to" jacket.
Great all around Fleece
By Active in the Northeast
from sidney, NY
I bought this fleece because of the unique gathering at the neck and waist. When I receivedit the softness and fit quickly became the one of my most worn fleeces. I am a bicyclist and took it on a 400 mile trip for the cool nights in the summer, it worked perfect as a light jacket in Florida and it's weight is great the pack in my oversized tote and carry on luggage. it was wonderful in the fall over a variety of tee and tanks. Now that it's winter, I will be putting it to use both in doors, the keep the chill off, and under my winter layers to keep me toasty warm. I am thinking I need to buy another,after all how long can it last.....I guess I'll find out.

somewhat better than I expected

Lightweight fabric
By Nurse
from Charleston, SC
This is NOT a heavy, cold-weather jacket. This is similar to a layering shirt to be worn over a turtleneck or shirt. Good for brisk fall days or chilly spring mornings.
Wasn't impressed
By Sweet Pea
from Lansing, MI
I am sorry to say that I was not impressed with this item. The fabric was too thin and it was too small for a medium size. It could have been worn more as a "shirt" than a jacket. Didn't want to try it in a larger size because of the fabric's weight.
Very pretty and stylish
By Lulu
from Colorado Springs, CO
I love the color and the styling. The sleeves are a little long, which is ok. I normally wear a medium but ordered a large because of the fitted cut and it is fine, so I would say it runs a little small. It is a lightweight fleece, so it's best for just a little cover, not for much warmth.
Very versatile jacket!
By the library lady
from Memphis, TN
The shade of blue is just right for fall, winter and spring. Perfect weight for layering with my workout clothes and errand running!
By juliebug56
from U. P. MIchigan
Read all of the reviews and knew this would be a thinner fabric, much more like a shirt than a jacket. In fact the fabric was a great dissappointment in that it was EXTREMELY thin and appeared to be of poor quality. Not sure it would hold up well after a few wearings. Color was nice, but cut was snug.
nice light jacket
By Mary
from Cleveland, OH
Nice soft jacket!
Love this shirt!
By Anne

About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
I use as a shirt on cool mornings and as a jacket at work. Very light weight, soft and warm. Stitching is well done and collar lays down nicely. Fit is flattering. I like the sleeves being long and close fitting. It feels good when I am chilly.
By lorraine
from newtown square, PA
I returned this jacket. Although the color was beautiful, the gathers in back created bulk to the rear and a very unflattering fit in front. Also, it was too long and the fabric was too thin.
Comfortable Fit
By Murphy Mom
from Quad Cities, IL
This is a great grab and go jacket for errands and quick walks before dinner. The fit and details on the jacket make this an individual look that gets noticed. I like wearing this jacket for the comfort and ease it provides when I need an extra layer.
great for my bike trip
By matilda
from Oneonta, ny
It will be perfect for my upcoming bike trip as it's lightweight, packable, and warm enough for the cool evenings.
By Mom
from Ohio
Nice soft fleece, great for layering. I would have liked it to be a heavier fleece, but this will work for spring. Like the longer lenght!
The fit was not generous enough
By Susie Q
from Grand Haven,Mich.
I liked the styling and fabric but needed a more generous fit.
Women's Fleece
By Sophie
from South Boston
Not at all what ail what it seemed in the photo. Very thin material. Ordered a size large which it was tagged to be, but was more like medium. Material was ultra thin and not the fluffy fleece the photo seemed to suggest. Very disappointed. The product offering this year was very much below what I used to expect from Woolrich.
Love this!
By B
from York, PA
This is exactly as described, with a great fit, beautiful color, very comfortable!
It's cuddly soft!
By Meme
from Athens,GA
The material is plush and the fit is great. It goes great with jeans or slacks.
I've been looking for a shirt like this
By Sue in Socal
from Orange, CA
I am always cold but am at the age when I get hot flashes and I also live where the sun can be warm. I have been looking for a warm turtleneck with a neck zipper so I can unzip whenever I get too warm and then zip back up when I get cold again (often within minutes of each other, over and over again). The elastic gather on the back of the neck also keeps the turtleneck close to the back of the neck where I feel cold if air gets down there. It is the best. This has a nice high, not too tight, zipped turtle neck. It is perfect and for the first time I can be as warm or as cool as I want with the zipped neck. I do not need to take off a whole turtleneck when I get too warm. I hike a lot and carry water, a camera, and hold a dog leash, so taking off a turtleneck is too cumbersome. I bought EIGHT of these after I tried the first one, and wear one every day. I hope that next year they offer this in more colors.
very cozy and comfortable
By friskybug
from Olean NY
This jacket's longer length makes it super comfortable. Even if you wear a skimpy shirt underneath your middle stays covered and warm. It looks a little dressier than lots of fleece jackets. It has quickly become my favorite! The sizing makes it very form fitting, however. I returned mine for the next larger size to get a little more roominess. So if you're looking for body conscious contours, order your regular size. But if you want comfortable roominess go up one size.
Really Like This Shirt
By Over 60
from in San Diego
This is a great looking light-weight jacket. Has pockets and a nice detail on the back. Have gotten several compliments on it in just a week.
love the style, lightweight yet warm
By Schwan
from Hartsdale, New York
I wear this jacket while I run/walk outdoors in the cold weatherThe style is trerrific, I love where the pockets are placed. Also, it has seaming to give you shape, not just a straight cut.
