I downloaded the free Lose It app to my phone and PC. A huge help in helping me to more easily recognize both the "cost" of what I'm eating and the value of activities. Also, taking it slow (aim at 1 1/2 pounds a week) which will hopefully mean it'll be easier to maintain my target weight once I get there.

I am a male, 5'11". Here is how I lost 10 pounds in a week. I went from 196 to 186. First, I bought a product from GNC called 'Nature's Secret Cleanse and Flush' and followed the instructions precisely. Second, I ate only celery, carrots, cucumbers, romaine lettuce (LOTS), chicken, and fish. The only dressing I used had 0 calories and 0 fat. I ate every 3 hours and never 2 hours before bed. Very importantly, I kept my calorie intake around 1,000 calories a day. Third, I went to google maps and measured out a mile from my work. I walked to this location every lunch hour and back at a brisk pace. Fourth, Every night when I got home I did a workout from 'Supreme 90 Day Fitness' (Cheaper and less intense version of P90X). Fifth, throughout the night I would jump rope. While watching tv, I'd jump rope. I'd do it until I couldn't stand it anymore and was out of breath several times until bedtime. This worked for me and I feel GREAT!

I read the article on your website about Hypnosis for Weight Loss - Does it Work? The article mentions that there is no scientific evidence that it works. I have anecdotal evidence that it works for you. I've lost about 30 pounds in 9 months with the help of hynosis. It's been slow, but steady. I use hyonosis cds by Paul McKenna (I saw him on Dr. Oz) and I've read his book "I Can Make You Thin". He advocates eating when you're truly hungry, eating consciously, and stopping when you are satisfied. You should eat healthy foods, but nothing is banned out right. I continue to listen to the hypnosis cds every week. It has really made a difference in being able to stick to a weight loss plan, and there has been no slippage. I'm told it won't necessarily work for everyone, but it certainly has worked for me. I feel wonderful. Give hypnosis a try...it just might work for you.

Recently I read that vitamin C, proitien and fish oil and of course a sensible diet of fruit, vegatables and whole grains, along with increased exercise are supposed to help you to get rid of that bellie fat that is just above the jeans line. Ok I am doing this and it does seem to be working, I have lost over 16 lbs already in a little over two weeks. And have moved three belt holes! My concern though is, I am wondering if I should be taking the fish oil as I already take a cholesteral pill(pravistain) along with lyrica and celebrex to name a few. I don't see my Dr. again until the end of May or June, have not consulted him. But I can see no harm in vitamins(daily tablet) & fish oil tablet that should harm me. Is there any reason I should not take fish oil? Not counting calories as much as changing eating habits

Just started the diet this weekend after failing on about three diets this year....... I have a tight schedule and love this program.........I can eyeball the food and know I'm ok without counting calories or points or carrying around a book........If I get confused I just draw myself a little pyramid and figure it out... Thanks Mayo Clinic........I've already dropped 4 lbs...

I really like the journal, but don't like carrying the book around with me. The tools keep me on track, but I want something I can download and print or that is portable electronically. For example, if I want to go back and repeat part of the diet, the pages are all used up. Has anyone put the journal basics into a form that can be downloaded? Or better, a tool for Blackberry or iPhone, so we can just click to update # vegetables eaten, enter exercise minutes, or that we met 11 of the 15 habits? I'd like to see buying the journal or diet book give you access to online forms and tools (ex. enter your sales receipt number or something).

I agree with all the fresh fruits and fresh veggies ideas. Less sugar, less meat, less dairy, no refined food. We are also food combining, no protein with starch, and find it's just great. Digestion is fast and easy. We both lost 7 lbs in 2 months and even eating more of above foods. Fruits alone, 30 minutes before a meal. Also watching acid and alkaline foods to get more alkaline. Highly recommend this to everyone, but especially if you have any acid reflux. Mine is GONE, no more antacids. Never need to count calories, way simpler.

10 years ago I had to stop eating sugar and grains (including such ubiquitous items as bread, pasta, cereal and rice), and I had to cut down on meat. Well, I lost weight like crazy, even though I continued to eat quite a lot of food overall and I was not hungry. The bigger thing I discovered some years later is that starchy foods like bread and noodles are really made from seeds, which cause a whole host of problems. If you read books like "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan, a highly respected journalist, you will learn that seeds are not only energy dense but also packed full of Omega 6 fatty acids that, unlike Omega 3's, promote inflammation and disrupt hormones. These obesogens are now being implicated as either a primary cause or exacerbating factor in diseases including cancer, heart disease, depression and obesity, and even in conditions like hair loss (read more on this at http://joytopolis.blogspot.com) . It also appears is that these grains and other seeds create a hormonal environment within our bodies that makes us increasingly hungry. That brings me to another tip I have for dieters. If you're trying to eat less (I know all these unhealthy things are tasty and tempting to eat), try this the next time you are at a restaurant where you can't easily control portion sizes. When your food arrives, poor salt (and/or tabasco) all over the extra bits of food that you don't you want to eat. That'll render them inedible.

Over the years I have found some helpful guidelines for estimating serving sizes based on your hand (which conveniently, you pretty much always have with you!): from the tip of your finger to the first knuckle is equal to 1 teaspoon. Your thumb is the same size as 1 ounce of meat or cheese. Your fist is equal to 1 cup. Your palm, not including fingers and thumb, is equal to 3 ounces of meat. Your thumb tip equals a Tablespoon. And my personal favorite: I find that 1 handful of my favorite pretzels is about 4 pretzels short of a 1 ounce serving. Now all these are approximate, and I admit my hand is fairly small but I have found this helps to keep me honest about serving sizes!

Hello. I've just started the diet and I'm looking for ways to boost flavor w/minimal cost. One thing I did was use 1 fat (reduced calorie mayo) + lemon juice with steamed artichokes. I'd like to throw a few bread & butter pickles into the mix since they satisfy a sweet tooth for me...I know the sodium is high, but the rest of what I eat is low in sodium. Can I put it in the vegetable category and not worry about it or does it "count" somewhere else? Thank you for your help!

Great tips everyone! And congratulations! Del, wow, 50 lbs and still going! The comments about a lifestyle versus a diet are right on. Regarding the difference between Lose It! and Live It!, we wanted people to focus on making big changes in their habits (i.e., lifestyle changes in diet and physical activity) in Lose It! and not get too focused on the details such as counting calories. For most people changing these habits make a big difference and they can lose weight. However, it may be challenging to keep up all of these habits long-term (such as no sugar at all!), so in Live It! people keep doing what they can from Lose it! (eat lots of vegies and fruits) and change the habits into permanent lifestyle changes. They do this by adding in a little structure (such as keeping track of servings) so they can best manage weight and improve health indefinitely. Keep up the great work!

I made many of the changes suggested in the book and I've lost more than 50 lbs. in the first 11 weeks. I went from never cooking/buying take out or processed foods to eating tons of fruits/veggies, cooking fish and chicken & only eating whole grains. I can't believe how much better I feel. Due to some health issues, I haven't able to do much exercise but am feeling up to it and will begin walking every day. I don't view this as a diet but as life-style changes. I would say keeping a food journal has been a key because it makes me focus on what/when/how much I eat and helped me identify things that would trigger problems (e.g. going too long without eating then overcompensating).

I started this diet three days ago. I've tried everything else - all kinds of diets - nothing has helped. I will give this my best try. But there are two things I do not understand: 1. The difference in calories between "Lose it" and "Live it" - if there is any. 2. When we reach our weight goal, how do we maintain it? We can't live on 1200 calories a day for the rest of our lives? Or can we?

I went on this diet about 4 yrs ago. It was recommended by my cardiologist. Luv the fact that you are not counting points or having to have the measuring cup next to you all the time! I lost 20lbs in no time and it was including walking 3-4 times a week at a good pace. I dropped 3 sizes of clothes in no time. I still allowed myself a cheating day a week. It is a good common sense diet and you don't have to buy all those weird things. For the fun, check those frozen lean meals and the sodium content. It is SCARY. My blood pressure went down in no time. I am back on it. I have 30 lbs to lose and by b/p in the last 2 weeks has dropped a normal level. Thanks Mayo clinic for putting a diet, sorry, a better way of eating without suffering!

buy a huge sack of apples. Fill your refrigerator with apples. Then, when you are hungry, have an apple. What the heck, have 2 or 3. If you can gain weight eating apples you need to donate your body to science. And, if you think, "well I'm hungry, but not for an apple", then I contend you are not really hungry and you are eating for some other reason: you are bored or stressed or horny or something. People who are truly hungry will eat an apple.

I am on Mayo Clinic for 6 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. I haven't lost like this on any other diet, and I don't even feel deprived. I love that I don't have to count fruits and veggies. I eat LOADS of fresh raw fruit, and lots of salad at every meal.

Here's my tip of the day. Instead of butter or margarine, I spray my morning toast with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray. Only 10 calories for 12 spritzes! Great buttery taste. I'll never go back to regular butter or margarine. Fats are the most calorically dense foods around!! Cut them down/out whenever you can. I do and it's amazing how many calories I save. By the way, The Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid is pure genius. Replacing higher calorie foods with more fruits and vegetables gives a tremendous calorie savings. And how nice to eat a bowl of broccoli or an orange without worrying about the calories. This is the best dieting concept around. I am losing weight PAINLESSLY.

I am having trouble eating 4 veggies a day. I like tomato sauce, but not tomatos. I like green beans, carrots, and salad (lettuce, onions, spinach, peppers, carrots, cucumbers), but not much else. I also like peas and beans which are considered proteins, not veggies. I like broccoli in stir fry. I dislike many other veggies.

Here's a tip if you know you will be eating out with friends or family: Most restaurants post their menu if not also the nutritional info online! Look up the menu before you go and decide on what you'll order or at least narrow it down to a few options that will be healthy. That way, you don't have to take time away from socializing to study the menu and you'll know in advance what your healthy, low calorie options are. This really helps me avoid that moment when the waitress has come back three times to check if we're ready and I end up just picking whatever sounds good. Also, don't be afraid to special order - ask them to put the dressing on the side, leave off the cheese, or hold the mayo! Another thing I have done for years - keep individually wrapped hard candies on hand for when you have to satisfy that sweet craving. Each one only has 3 or 4 grams of sugar and they are generally so sweet that one is enough!

If you're out of work, prospects for a new job seem dim, and you're wondering what to do next, consider this plan.
Why not go back to college? Yes, many financial planners suggest that going back to school is a perfect way to take advantage of the recession. You get to acquire new knowledge and skills that just might give you an edge in the job market, no matter your age, but especially if you're 50 and older.
"This is an opportune time for older Americans to 'reinvent' themselves, to do what they want in retirement," said FPA member Francis St. Onge, CFP®, of Total Financial Planning. "It would be especially easy for older workers who might have retirement security in the form of a defined benefit and 401(k) plan."
But what if you're not as well off or if your retirement isn't quite secure? "They need to reinvent themselves, too," said St. Onge, who himself went through the very same process more than 20 years ago, reinventing himself as a financial planner. "They have to figure out what they really want to do for the next quarter century with respect to working to supplement what they do with their free time."
There are plenty of financial and other considerations. Unemployment is high, demand for goods and services are low, and education is not inexpensive. Indeed, you'll have to calculate how much education will cost and how you'll pay for it. You might have to apply for financial aid or a loan from a bank or tap the equity in your home. You should also check if any education credits and deductions might be available. And you should, if you have a family, make sure they are on board with your plans.
"You also need to examine why you want to go back to school," said FPA member, Philip A. White, CFP®, at Ducere Capital. "Fundamentally, most people attend school based on a blend of two objectives: 1) they want to increase their future earning power and 2) they have a desire or passion to learn the subject matter."
If you have a desire or passion to learn the subject matter, it's a pretty easy answer. "Do what you love," Ducere said.
But if you're primarily motivated by the desire to increase your future earning power, he says the answer is more difficult. Here's what he recommends:
- Look at the future career prospects. What kind of career or job will your education enable you to do? What are the average salaries for these jobs in the area of the country you want to live? Are the future job prospects a large enough improvement over your current situation to justify the cost of education?
- Build a budget and be very careful of debt. It is easy when you are young and able to live like a starving student. Once you have 'tasted the good life,' it is much harder to scale back your spending. Use the estimates provided by the financial aid office to approximate your student loan total and figure out what your monthly payment will be when you are done with the program. The sticker shock might make ramen noodles taste better.
- If you make the leap, enjoy it. Going back to school can be a great way to "start over." Get out of your comfort zone. Look for opportunities to do things you wouldn't normally try. Join a student club, participate in campus volunteer work, and find a way to enrich the student community you have joined.
With that said, "it's never too late to get more education," St. Onge emphasized. "You never know where it will lead or what doors will open for you."
If you need help trying to figure out whether to go back to school and how it affects your financial plan, consider consulting with a financial planner.

Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: I consider myself somewhere between the casual/recreational and avid athlete categories, but not a "gym rat." I jog an average of 3.5 miles about every other day. I run a few 5Ks each year, but mainly jog by myself. I travel a fair amount, and have used Garmin Forerunners (205, 405, and now the 210) on six continents (all but Antarctica). I used a Forerunner 405 for over a year, but got fed up with the touch-sensitive bezel: almost every time I jogged with it, something unexpected (often bad) happened when the bezel was falsely activated. The 210 is smaller/lighter, finds satellites fast, and has all the features I need. And it's less expensive than the 405. I have a foot pod for indoor tracks, and use it for cadence data even when I'm using the GPS for location tracking, pace, and distance. The charging/download cable clip connection to the 210 is a little hard to get used to, and has to be reconnected once in a while, but I've used the 210 for over a month now and have gotten the hang of it. I use Garmin Training Center on my laptop to upload and store 210 data and Google Earth to produce location tracks.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: Had been wanting a GPS watch & doing research for ages. I finally decided on the forerunner 210 and ordered it 1 week before running a half marathon in San Francisco. I wasn't sure about being able to figure out the features & worried about satellite reception. It was so easy! Loved being able to glance at my pace. It picked up satellite without any problem. I tried it in downtown SF the nite before and it did struggle- I think because of the buildings. But for the run it was no problem. The only thing I ran into was the auto lap feature, which will pause & display the lap time you can customize. Because it paused so long after the first mile, I thought maybe I had to restart each mile. After the third I realized if I left it alone it would just roll over, I had about 17 laps recorded for 13 mi due to me panicking and pushing every possible button. Thankfully it was smarter than me and just kept going. I'm excited to keep using it- I think it will be by new favorite running gear. I only gave it 4 stars since I can't speak about the durability. And like everyone says, the 4 pin charging system is ridiculous. But it's worked okay.
Cons Best Uses Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: Like it but it doesn't pause when I stop running. And also have a hard time with the USB connection when it's time to upload my runs. I wish it would have that option of auto pause when I stop running for admire or two. Otherwise it's an awesome garmin watch.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: I've debated for years about getting a garmin watch. All my running friends had different series & just didn't need one. But I finally decided to get the 210 and so far Im so glad I did & very excited. I received on a Friday, charged it and learned the basics and used for 16 mile run next morning. It helped that a friend wearing hers could point out info. Then went online and registered, downloaded run. It's amazing to see what all it does!Alot of good info online.
Cons Best Uses Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: I have had my 210 for almost 11 months. I did have to have a factory reset on it 2 times. But for reasons most people would not have noticed. The 210 has out lasted my 610 which only lasted 9 months. If this would go out today I would buy another 210.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: I use the Garmin 210 on all my long runs because my phone battery doesn't last long enough! I prefer to use my apps to track my runs, but the Garmin 210 is great. Very easy to use, just seems to need a lot of charging.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: This is a really nice watch. Not the lowest-priced but solid, dependable and useful. The data it collects is terrific, and the way it archives and displays on the Garmin website is great. I use this watch for marathon training, and it's been a terrific value for my uses. Worth the extra $50 if you are looking at some lower-priced models.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: Had the 405, and did not like the bezel. My husband ordered me a 110 forerunner. I returned it. It did not have current pace:(. Would not recommend that one at all. I do like the 210 a lot. My favorite one. The only worry I have with it, is that it could get corroded with salt from sweating at the connection to charge. Other wise love the Garmin 210.
Best Uses Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: Limited data fields. For example, you can't switch between lap pace and average pace when you are running.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: This is a very good product, is easy to use and reliable. Garming connect site is great to track your progress. Is not too fast to find the satellite signal.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: This watch is very sensitive to charge. It takes me up to 30 mins playing with the charger on the watch to "catch a charge" or transfer my runs.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: I have almost 300 miles so far on my 210 in 2 months. Ran a marathon with it. Best thing I like about it is the lap feature and it beeps at every mile. Wish the band could be replaced if it broke. But over all it is a very good GPS.
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors: I purchased this to help me in my training for a Half Marathon this coming May. I was tired of guessing how far I was actually running, and I had no idea what my actual lap pace was. This GPS is great. I was able to figure things out by reading the online manual plus the PROs/CONs listed on Amazon for this GPS were quite helpful too. I love connecting it to my computer too and actually seeing the aerial view of where I ran and what my statistics were for each mile of the run. It is a little tricky as to how it connects to be charged, but I am learning how to do it more quickly. This is a great toy for a runner, and I wish I would have purchased it earlier because I have been running farther than I estimated. I bought the anniversary special one which is white/green. I love it! Let's just hope it lasts.

More Bad Government.
Sad that anyone with the little "r" after their name would use our funds to bribe others' behavior.
At least it isn't forcing the issue, it gives businesses the choice...
BUT it still is not the government's role to take our money, then give it to those who agree with them.

Bradco Kitchens and Baths: A Leader in Healthy Design.
Austrian-born native Michael Kienzl said he wants to take his company, Southern California-based Bradco Kitchens and Baths, in a direction that most benefits his customers. As one of the first stores to ever use PureBond®, a formaldehyde-free manufacturing system designed by Columbia Forest Products, he's looking to educate as many people as he can on the healthy rewards of purchasing environmentally-friendly household amenities.
Bradco supplies a large selection of eco-friendly products including cabinets, sinks, fixtures and faucets, and vanities and tiles. Not only does Kienzl, who is the president, want to offer his customers healthy options, but he also wants to lead by example, which is why he said he chose to incorporate the PureBond® product. On top of that, he went the extra mile to get his company certified by The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
"Columbia adheres to our philosophy of providing products with the safest materials," Kienzl said about incorporating PureBond into its offerings. "We practice what we preach. We are an environmentally-friendly, family business. At home, we've been recycling for many, many years, and are very strict to switch off the lights, close off the running water. It's not just to save money, but its a way to prevent pollution. When we say we are environmentally friendly, we mean it."
Having the option of purchasing products without formaldehyde gases embedded in them is viable to Kienzl for many reasons, especially personal ones. Telling a customer about the advantages of formaldehyde-free products, Kienzl said he is somewhat passionate about the topic.
"A lot of education still needs to be done," Kienzl said. "When I explain it to a customer, I compare breathing in years of subtle formaldehyde to parking a little car in your kitchen, turning it on and letting it run. Formaldehyde, at the least, can cause runny eyes and a scratchy throat, and at the most it can cause cancer; like the kind you could get from second-hand smoke."
Emphasized in his childhood memories are the advantages of clean living. Growing up on a farm, "I grew up very, very healthy," he said.
"Unfortunately, when we moved to the city, I lost my dad to melanoma cancer and my mother has beat breast cancer twice," Kienzl said. Because of that, he has made it a personal mission to sell the cleanest products possible.
Another way to offer the "cleanest products possible" is by becoming FSC® certified. The process incorporates a system of checks and balances that makes sure wood is only from responsibly managed forests. It took more than two months to complete the improvement process that includes annual audits and provides Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) points (a transparent rating system that supports the U.S. Green Building Council).
"I feel that we are playing a little part to make the world a better place," Kienzl said. "I'm a soldier of healthy living."

Orchard Supply Hardware Stores reported an increase in comparable-store sales for the second quarter ended July 28 of 0.9%. Preliminary net sales were $194.0 million compared with $196.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
"We are pleased to deliver positive comparable store sales for the quarter," said Mark Baker, president and CEO. "However, the environment remains challenging and our business was more promotional than anticipated, which will likely impact margins in the second quarter. We continue to expect positive comparable-store sales for fiscal 2012, as our in-store marketing and merchandising initiatives gain increased traction during the second half of the year."
The company also announced that on July 27, 2012, it completed a sale-leaseback transaction with a national REIT for six properties, generating gross proceeds of approximately $43 million. Approximately $25 million of the net proceeds were used to pay-off the company's Real Estate Secured Term Loan in its entirety, while approximately $8 million of the balance of the net proceeds will be used to pay down the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan.
Baker added: "This transaction enables us to reduce our debt, while at the same time providing additional capital to continue the transformation of our store portfolio. Our new store concept that was first unveiled in September 2011 is generating improved productivity and has met with positive response from our customers. By the end of fiscal 2012, we expect to have a combination of 12 new and remodeled Orchard stores operating in this format."

Apple's TV plans on hold -- again, DisplaySearch says
The long wait for an Apple TV will get even longer. Blame wearable devices.
That's what NPD DisplaySearch analyst Paul Gagnon claimed Monday in a research note.
Apple is shifting its focus to wearable devices and pushing TV plans out -- aside from its existing set-top box -- according to Gagnon.
The shift appears rather recent as even DisplaySearch had been expecting a product in 2014.
"Indeed, our own information from TV supply chain sources pointed to the fact that Apple appeared to be lining up resources for a product introduction in the second half of 2014, likely … Read more

Who is jennifer rubin and what has she done to qualify her to comment on Senator DeMint?
I think Jennifer is full of it. Take this shot: "He has contributed more than any current senator to the dysfunction of that body."Sorry Jennfier, that distinction clearly falls to Harry Reid.You´ve had a run of good articles, but I´m not buying the "why can´t we all act like Dem statist"-attitude now.
I didn´t need to read any further than "he would not claim to be a serious scholar." That is the oh-so-typical and predictable smear against any conservative politician and she is full of it!
Jennifer Rubin is another example of what happens when a so-called conservative writer goes to work for a liberal publication. It´s the political and literary version of the "Stockholm Syndrome".
Sorry Jennifer, but you´re in the Ann Coulter "I-heart-moderates" club. You have no credibility to advise conservatives.The GOP needs a makeover big time...let´s start with getting rid of Boehner.Anything DeMint does to shake up status quo is fine by me.
I am so over this chick.
I´d rather have a Senate in gridlock than one that "accomplishes" things like amnesty.Republicans "reaching across the aisle" with their Democrat "friends" get their clocks cleaned.
If Jennifer is looking to criticize those that won´t "go along to get along", then she could spend an entire career focusing on today´s DemocRATS.
Jennifer Rubin is screeching about what a screech Jim DeMint is. Ouch, my ears.
Ms. Rubin´s tone yet again reveals the contempt that the GOP Establishment holds for its conservative fellow-travelers. "Give us your contributions, vote for us, but don´t talk to anyone (you´re an embarrassment), go sit over in that corner with your tin-foil hat, and be grateful we let you into the tent."Time to say "good riddance" to the GOP.
Jennifer Rubin seems to have contracted a case of DeMint Derangement Syndrome. (We could say she suffers from DeMint-ia.)Jennifer´s anti-politician rant is partisan enough to qualify as propaganda. Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Carol Measly-Brains, Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, et al, did far more to push the Senate´s dysfunction to new heights than guys like DeMint ever could.
Rubin, a congenital Romney shill and harpie, knows one thing: how to pick losers.
While he can do important work at Heritage, this is a loss for everyone. DeMint was fearless and is the perfect conservative. I would have rather lost McConnell rather than DeMint in the Senate. Ms. Rubin is a fool for what she has written.
All who claim to be Republicans are moderates. No conservative can possibly be a Republican. The ´rino´s´ have won. I expect to see the House go Democrat majority in the next election. The Repubs hate Tea Party people. The moderates hate conservatives. The elites hate grass roots. So, good bye to all ye Repubs. You can have the GOP all to yourselves.
I´m with OP. Goodbye, Senator DeMint. It certainly gives your fans the warm fuzzies for you to talk about the purity you desire in our Senate, but 30 pure seats instead of a larger number of mixed provenance, accomplishes only half as much. If we´re going to have an impact and change things, we have to have sufficient numbers to do it. I doubt the Heritage Foundation will measure up to the senator´s lofty ideals, either.
Jennifer is exactly what her name implies, a rubin.
Did someone die while I wasn´t looking, thus putting #14 in charge of deciding who can be a Republican? It´s too bad that a self-described conservative can be so judgmental. That´s how we lost the 2012 election. Voters are unhappy feeling judged by those who believe themselves superior.
Jennifer Rubin was totally ga-ga over Mitt Romney in the primaries. To the point where she wrote dishonest columns about his opponents. I really thought she´d go for Obama in the national, but she did stick with Mitt, so I´ll give her that. But she voted for Obama in 2008, hates Sarah Palin (for the same false reasons all haters give), and she´s anti-conservative to a hysterical degree.So, yeah, I doubt Jim DeMint would be her favorite guy.
The problem with DeMint is not his positions. The problem with DeMint he is just one of dozens of humorless, coloreless, dour, sourpuss-faced Repbulican men who turn off most Americans.Ronald Reagan would probably have agreed with DeMint 95% of the time. And Reagan won two landslides.Get my point?
Sorry Jennifer, your over the top support for Romney has pretty much disqualified you from being taken seriously as a pundit.
What #15, #17, and #19 said.We had his twin Tom McClintock in the California legislature for so long that he managed to turn the state even more Democrat than it had been before.Here we may think hard right, my way or the highway, the hell with building consensus is OK. But there´s a big country out there and we are losing it.
Oh that the Senate had more Jim DeMints.Jennifer Rubin knows not of what she screeches.
Jennifer Rubin, be afraid, be VERY afraid since Jim DeMint will bury you and your fellow socialists and it won´t take very long either. "We The People" WILL prevail and you and your ilk will be toast.
So Rubin thinks DeMint´s departure is a good riddance thing. Ha! Just goes to show you that she has spit for brains.First, a conservative will be appointed to his seat by our conservative Governor Haley--and the governor has likely assured DeMint that the appointee will be someone acceptable to him. There is already talk that Tim Scott will be that person and that would seem to be the best choice. The special election in 2014 triggered by an appointment will make it easier for an appointee to be re-elected. Not that Tim Scott will have any problems (unless he makes a major mistake and I don´t see that in his future). Clyburn will be apoplectic over DeMint´s move. Scott is young (47), highly popular and effective and won re-election on November 6 with 65% of the vote.I´m looking forward to DeMint putting his expertise and backing into the campaigns of conservatives in 2014 and 2016--and putting his head together with Nile Gardiner at the Heritage Foundation. He won´t be hindered by the time-consuming machinations necessary in a U.S. Senator´s work and could well make a big difference for us.Btw, DeMint is a huge Tea Party supporter.
Jennifer tells us her gender and Rubin tells us her heritage......so......Yawn....zzzzzz
If he really said he´d rather have 30 conservatives--and therefore be completely irrelevant and ineffective--than he said something asinine. Reagan expanded the base, he didn´t contract and exclude. He got most of what he wanted.So if makes you feel good, go ahead and whine about RINOs. Then take a pill and get real.The OP, however, repeats a fiction. Lowden lost the primary, in part, because she suggested bartering chickens for health care. Angle was actually the more rational one in that race.
Yesterday, Rubin used the phrase ´right wing loonies´, today she uses pejorative ´screech´.During the republican primaries, rubin wrote nasty pieces on every candidate not named Romney. When not writing hit pieces, she found the time to write a love letter to Romney every day. She backed the loser, but we´re the problem.
Jennifer, maybe Demint does not want to be blamed for the coming police action in the Middle East. Or for the "by-invitation only" slate of republican Max Bialystocks set for 2014 and 2016. Or maybe he can´t handle the sulphur.
It appears that writers for the Washington Plop are paid by the lie.
Looks like Jennifer has caught the David Brooks disease.Senator Demint´s leaving means I can´t trust any senators, he was the last of his kind. So Demint not going along to get along is bad, well Jennifer can you give me the name of ONE Democrat Senator who has stepped forward asking the President and Harry Reid to stop campaigning and start governing.
Jennifer needs to go to Walmart and pick up some underwear a couple of sizes larger. She´s got her underwear in a big tight wad.
I heard DeMint on Rush going on about being good friends with Harry Reid. That´s not a selling point with me. Just another insider wannabe! Adios.
Jennifer Rubin is a moderatre establishment hack
#15 you are absolutely right about such as DeMint. His all or nothing style of conservatism reminds me a lot of the Jackass in Chief and his all or nothing brand of whateverism.
I have concluded that Jennifer Rubin is nothing, but a phoney Republican. She shilled for Romney all through the election cycle and never said a generous word to any other candidate´s ideas. It is OK that she supported Romny, but she was part of the slander of the other candidates; she didn´t give any credence to their good ideas, which were many.
The problem is we don´t have enough "all or nothing" conservatives in Congress! That´s why we are in this mess.
Jennifer, go jump off a building.
Miss Rubin, I´d write about your journalistic achievements as a stenographer in the Ministry of Information, but "none come to mind." Shut your pie hole, just shut your pie hole. We know you would not have anything positive to say about any conservative.
What a nasty woman. Conservatism is the only hope for solving this country´s problems. Hew brand of Republicanism is a loser.
Sue Lowden lost without any assistance from DeMint, O´Donnell got some money from him only at the last minute, and saying one is friends with Harry Reid doesn´t make him a sell out. I think DeMint will do a bangup job at Heritage and will leave his Senate seat in good hands until the special election in 2014.
"Good riddance, Mr. DeMint"......Really? Well, good riddance to you,Jennifr Rubin, I am done with your columns. And by the way, Rubin, he deserves to be properly addresed as SENATOR DeMint, a smart journalist would have shown that respect.
If I recall correctly, and I´m sure I´ll be corrected if I am wrong, but I believe Rubin was a former left wing Berkeley Radical Liberal. She supposedly "came to Jesus" and switched to Republican.It appears you can take the girl out of the Liberal Marxist Party but you can´t take Liberal Radical Marxism out of the girl.
#1, she is a citizen and that is what gives her the right to criticize Mr. demint. What has she done to get you to pay attention to her is the better question, lol.
This proves DeMint is a great man.... the farrrr left wing WP trashes him....
Do some research OP--you are incorrect in your statement with reference to Sharron Angle--Gov Palin did not endorse Angle in the primary--only in the GENERAL against Dirty Hairy Reed. Always quick to blame Palin.Additionally she did not endorse Akin. She supported Sarah Steelman and if McCaskill had not paid for Akin´s last several weeks of nasty campaign against his peers - there was an excellent chance for Steelman to have won.As for 2012 --- Senate elections brought in 4 of the 5 Gov. Palin endorsed - What did your establishment/elite crowd/Romney add to the Senate or House for that matter.
Mr. Rubin, yes, I said "Mr." Rubin, you have the social graces of a liberal "man." You may begin by apologizing for calling Senator DeMint "Mr."For years, my friends have asked me if I have read this or that article in the Washington Post, and my reply aways is, "I do not subscribe to or read that liberal rag." Mr. Rubin´s article is yet another example of why I do not read the Washington Compost. Better to look to the internet to Drudge, wnd, Sean Hannity and Lucianne for the real news.
Oh my, Jennifer is even nastier than the last time I tried to read an article by her. She is on my "never again" list.Senator DeMint always said that he would be leaving at the end of this term. Can´t blame him for leaving early, with the Boehner "purge" and other nasty RINO happenings.I wish him luck in his new position.
Like a dog returning to its vomit, the OP meanders back into the fantasy world where everything bad that happens is the fault of some SOCON somewhere.No surprise that he or she do it with a screed from Jennifer Rubin who, whatever her other merits, wrote as though she was on the Romney campaign payroll long before he was the nominee.
Re # 26: Here is the full quote, to be fair to Sen. DeMint: http://www.humanevents.com/2010/02/18/senator-jim-demints-speech-at-cpac/I've been criticized by some of my Republican colleagues for saying I'd rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who believe in the principles of freedom than 60 who don't believe in anything.Let me make myself even clearer: I'd rather have 30 Marco Rubios in the Senate than 60 Arlen Specters.But, if that were the case I wouldn't have to settle for 30, because strong conservatives who believe in a constitutional limited government like Marco Rubio will pave the way to a new Republican majority that will keep our promises to the American people!
It´s a fine thing to be pure and principled, but it´s better to be realistic about what can be accomplished at any one given time. Coming from a blue state, I understand that the perfect is the enemy of the good. People from solidly red states have the luxury of voting into office "pure" conservatives. Conservative/Republican people from blue states go with the best available candidate. Usually that´s someone who´s a fiscal conservative who believes in a strong defense and a smaller government, but is laissez-faire on social issues, because he or she is smart enough to know that running around screeching about the evils of homosexuality or birth control or "legitimate rape" won´t get him or her elected dog catcher in a blue state.
DeMint´s decision is his and his alone. His voice is the conservative voice. But he has apparently gotten fed up with the antics of Washington. Who here can blame him? Sad to see him leave but we haven´t heard the last of Jim.
Jennifer rubin, in the old days, was an open liberal. Seems she went underground for the last few years but now that her leader is safely in power for 4 more years, she can come into the sunshine of her liberal heart.
Rush was having a perfectly congenial, seemingly scripted interview with DeMint today and made a comment to the effect that, perhaps DeMint could better fight Harry Reid from outside of Government. I´m sure Rush was astounded by his response; that Reid was actually a good friend of his and that Reid was "not the problem". Considering Reid´s long history of political and personal bile, not to mention his recent statement that he would refuse to work with Romney had he won the election, it seems like DeMint is just another of the get-along collegiality crowd that is conning us to the bitter end.
Senator DeMint is a good man and will be a great asset to Heritage. Now that he knows the inner workings of the House and Senate, he can be very effective.I was impressed when I read he is one of the poorest Senators, #98 with assets less than $200K. Most of those guys are perfumed princes with gobs of money.As for Rubin, she´s a disgrace - but then she does write for the ComPost where they probably consider her a queen.
Perhaps better "Good Riddance" Jenifer! Being the Post´s resident David Brookes moves you to the top of the list
Oh,an all or nothing conservative? Uh, how about a president who is an all or nothing "my way or the highway" raging liberal?
Jennifer Rubin needs to be put away with Peggy Noonan and Kathleen Parker. They are way past their stale date...
It is moderates like Rubin that are the problem.
I must be the only one here who is on both sides. I like Jennifer Rubin AND I like Jim DeMint. I think both have done what they think best for our party and I am sure both have made some mistakes. I know I have. Haven´t you?
I´ve noticed something: The same folks who complain about DeMint for being too judgmental in his conservatism, and criticize conservatives for being insufficiently inclusive, had absolutely no problem with Mitt Romney´s complete exclusion of Sarah Palin from the 2012 campaign. Having just catastrophically lost the most important election in our lifetime, one would have thought the Romney enthusiasts might be a little more circumspect in lecturing us on who conservatives should support and how. I find it telling that these apostles of inclusion and moderation think an immoderate and insulting article entitled "Good Riddance, Mr. DeMint" is worthy of praise.
It was never about being principled or intellectually consistent, it was about maintaining power of the moderate republicans and preventing a small government, ReaganPalinCainGringrich conservative message from getting traction. Rather than embrace their liberal republican go along to get along tendencies, they relabel themselves conservatives to the point it becomes meaningless---- an east coast liberal republican who just a few short years ago held hands with Teddy Kennedy and denounced Reagan reemerges as a severe conservative. The small town mayor who challenges oil companies and liberal republicans like Murkowski are declared lazy, extreme and irrelevant. And now DeMint. Extremism...virtue.... vice, oh, never mind.
I guess I made a mistake in thinking that Jennifer Rubin might once have been a conservative when she was writing for Commentary magazine. If she ever was, she has been totally corrupted now after joining the Washington establishment.
I think folks are being too hard on Rubin. I agree that we should have more conservatives in office but in some states (like mine, CA) it is nearly impossible to get a conservative elected to any office (even dog catcher). So, sometimes we DO need to compromise. I would much rather have many more seats filled with Republicans even if a lot of them are moderate or even a bit to the left than to lose every time and have a permanent minority status of conservatives only. I am so sick of the litmus test people are putting on our candidates--the all or nothing syndrome. That doesn´t work. It has been proven time and again. Yes, we need to move the country further to the right again. But it will never happen if we insist on all our candidates being 100% hardcore right.


text: HOUSTON -- A federal judge in Waco, Texas, sentenced a former soldier to two consecutive life sentences, plus 60 years in prison, on Friday for plotting to bomb and shoot Ft. Hood soldiers last year.Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo, 22, who represented himself after dismissing his court-appointed lawyers, told U.S. District Judge Walter Smith that he remained committed as a Muslim to pursuing a holy war."I have continued to answer the call of jihad and will continue to the day I am called to account for my deeds," he said, according to the Austin American-Statesman.Abdo appeared defiant throughout the hearing, speaking in Arabic at times and translating for the court, federal prosecutors said. Abdo said he was motivated by what he called crimes committed by the U.S. and its military against Muslims.He said he had tried to outdo Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of fatally shooting 13 people at Ft. Hood in 2009."He intended to continue to do what he was doing; he was regretful he hadn't succeeded as his brother Nidal had succeeded," said Assistant U.S. Atty. Mark Frazier. "He asked the judge not to show him any mercy because only Allah can show him mercy."U.S. marshals forced Abdo to wear a black-and-white mesh mask during the hearing after he spit what he thought was HIV-infected blood on agents escorting him, Frazier said. The attack was described as one of several such assaults by Abdo on his guards."He continued to try to take the lives of other people in his mind after he was apprehended," Frazier said.Abdo was arrested July 27, 2011, at a motel outside Ft. Hood after a gun store clerk in nearby Killeen, Texas, called police to alert them that Abdo had been acting suspiciously."This case was discovered before any tragedy happened due to the vigilance of citizens," Frazier said.A search of Abdo's room and backpack revealed bomb-making equipment -- including pressure cookers, clocks and electrical tape -- plus a pistol and a bomb-assembly article from an English-language Al Qaeda magazine.Abdo, a Dallas-area native, became a Muslim as a teenager, enlisted in the Army in 2009 and applied to become a conscientious objector later that year while stationed at Ft. Campbell, Ky., Frazier said. His conscientious objector status was put on hold after he was charged with possessing child pornography in May 2011, and he went AWOL a couple of months later, Frazier said.Abdo told investigators his plot was a response to the U.S. military's mistreatment of fellow Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.He had planned to detonate a homemade bomb inside a Killeen restaurant popular with Ft. Hood soldiers, then shoot any survivors, according to testimony from his three-day trial in May. A jury found him guilty of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, attempted murder and four weapons charges.After the sentencing, U.S. Atty. Robert Pitman compared Abdo's plot to recent mass shootings at a Denver-area movie theater and a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee."In the wake of the tragic events in Colorado and Wisconsin, this is yet another reminder that there are those among us who would use or plan to use violence to advance their twisted agenda," Pitman said.Pitman said the case demonstrated two important things. One, "the prevention of tragic events such as Mr. Abdo was planning can be averted by alert citizens who pass along their concerns to law enforcement officials and by law enforcement officers who diligently perform their duties," he said.And two, "those who use or plan violence to further their twisted agendas will be prosecuted as aggressively as the law allows and will, as in this case, spend the rest of their lives staring at the walls of a prison cell." Killeen Police Chief Dennis Baldwin said the sentencing "provides a sense of comfort to the Killeen residents, especially those affiliated with the military, that Mr. Abdo will no longer be a threat to our community."After the sentencing, Abdo was returned to McClennan County Jail in Waco. He was unavailable for comment as he awaited transfer to prison.Join Molly on Google+ and Twitter @mollyhf. Email: email@example.com

Question: So we had the first cancellation of the season with Lucky 7 after two showings. There are no tears from me as I never watched it. My question is: On what planet did anyone ever perceive this show's premise to be interesting or sustainable? Out of the hundreds of pilots, it is sometimes hard to believe someone at ABC thought this was one of the best. What do you think is next? — Rob
Matt Roush: Next for ABC, or next in the long annals of "what were they thinking" pilots? (That sound you hear is ABC kicking itself for not keeping Body of Proof around as a back-up, because for the time being, Scandal repeats will be airing in place of the unlucky 7.) To be fair, Lucky was based on a more successful British series, The Syndicate, but something clearly got lost in translation. (Same thing must have happened regarding ABC's equally mediocre Betrayal, based on a Dutch series and adapted by the same exec producer, who's batting 0 for 2 right now.) Your point about the sustainability of a pilot's premise is a good one, and comes up frequently when analyzing the failure of shows as disparate as last season's Last Resort and (though it may be premature) this season's Hostages — more on that one later. But from the moment many of us saw clips of Lucky 7 at last spring's upfront presentation, it felt like nothing we could imagine almost anyone would want to see. And we were right.
