Today's Health - Wellness / Exercise / Reflections:Crunch Your CoreAn oldy but goody, this classic abdominal crunch will flatten and tone your belly. Plus, it'll strengthen your core muscles, including your back, hips and spine. Give it a go!
Step 1: Lie on a mat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Make a fist with one hand and place it between your chin and collarbone. With your other hand, grasp your wrist. (This will prevent you from leading with your head and straining your neck.)
Step 2: Without moving your lower body, exhale and slowly curl your upper torso until your shoulder blades are off the ground.
Step 3: Hold for 1 second.
Step 4: Inhale as you slowly lower yourself to the starting position.
Step 5: Repeat three times without resting.

Take Action:

- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of senile - Sen. John McCain: because of their Hateful anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform. Further, Their Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and blocked Immigration reform! We shall hold the voters of Arizona responsible!

Update: DADT has been repealed by the US Senate and now awaits President Obama's signature!The Atlantic; Dec 18 2010 / Andrew CohenThe looming demise of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" personnel policy doesn't mean the end of two-tiered justice for gay or lesbian service members.
For example, now that the Pentagon will finally be recognizing the existence of such service members in its ranks, it will also as a matter of law and logic be recognizing the existence of same-sex partners or same-sex spouses. But those folks are barred by the federal Defense of Marriage Act from receiving some of the benefits that opposite-sex partners or opposite-sex spouses would receive from the military.
The Pentagon is plainly aware of the dichotomy. Here is the relevant langage from its recent study:
"[T]here are certain benefits that, given current law, cannot legally be extended to same-sex partners. Legal limitations include, for example, the small number of jurisdictions in the United States in which gay men and lesbians are legally permitted to marry or obtain legal recognition of their relationship, the statutory definition of "dependent" in Titles 10 and 37 of the U.S. Code, and, on top of all that, the Defense of Marriage Act, which for Federal purposes defines 'marriage' to mean 'only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife' and 'spouse' to refer 'only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.' Thus, under current law, full benefit parity between spouses of heterosexual Service members and same-sex partners of gay and lesbian Service members in committed relationships is legally impossible."
Like Don't Ask, Don't Tell, a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act was also declared unconstitutional this past summer by a federal trial judge. U.S. Chief District Judge Joseph Tauro, an old-school Nixon appointee, wrote this about Section 3 of the federal law:
"DOMA fails to pass constitutional muster even under the highly deferential rational basis test. As set forth in detail below, this court is convinced that 'there exists no fairly conceivable set of facts that could ground a rational relationship' between DOMA and a legitimate government objective. DOMA, therefore, violates core constitutional principles of equal protection."
Judge Tauro's ruling now is on appeal to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. We are about a year away from a ruling there and then at least another year or so after that from a ruling by the United States Supreme Court-- if the Justices decide to accept the case, that is. In the meantime, same-sex military spouses or partners may no longer be separate from official military policy under the eyes of the law-- but they still won't be equal, either.
URGENT: Boycott Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time! Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's was the right thing to do. Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being. They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp. Therefore, goodbye Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy! The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions! What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
