Take Action:Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:Which will Burn More Fat: Toning or Cardio?
If you're trying to lose weight, should you spend all your time on the treadmill or pumping extra iron? To look fabulous and toned, you need to do both. After all, you can run on the treadmill for hours, but you'll never build sexy muscles unless you lift weights. Alternately, you can crunch yourself into oblivion, but you won't be able to see your abs if they're buried under a layer of excess fat.
Surprisingly, building muscle can actually help increase your metabolism. A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat, even if you're just sitting still. Also, strengthening your muscles will help you perform better when you're exercising, which means you'll be able to work out harder and blast more fat. And if you work on your muscles and stick with your cardio program, you'll begin to see sexy definition as you lose more weight.
Cardio activities like running, swimming and biking melt fat from all over your body, which will make the underlying muscles visible. Weight-lifting exercises, such as squats and push ups, are perfect for toning problem areas. You can have separate workouts for cardio and toning, but if you want to save time, perform a routine that provides both cardio and strength-training benefits, like a super circuit.
Even though it sounds like you have to do double the work to get the body you want, there's no way your fat can survive the two-pronged attack of cardio and weight training!
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck's radio show and his quest spots on Fox News. Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights. Update: Boycott Successful: Update 4/7/2011: Beck has been fired by FOX NEWS! Radio stations dropping Beck as well in several locations. Now, tell FOX to stop having Beck as a Guest.
- Update: DADT has been repealed.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 be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!
- "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Again, Dump NBC because they air/re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! Now the Donald Claims the Long Form Birth certificate is a fraud. And NBC keeps this guy?

Politico - July 24, 2011 - By Craig Howie
As gay couples began marrying on the day New York became the sixth and largest state to recognize same-sex unions, politicians Sunday made clear whether they were wedded to the policy or not.
Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty said he didn't think "all domestic relationships are the same as traditional marriage," on CNN's "State of the Union."
After host Candy Crowley reminded the former Minnesota governor that gay marriage had been legal for a year in Iowa, a key campaign battleground state in which Pawlenty is heavily invested, he said: "We want to maintain traditional marriage elevated in the eyes of the law and in our society. It is not the same as other domestic relationships."
He rebutted the notion that the GOP is "behind the curve" -- in Crowley's words -- on the gay marriage issue.
"Every time this issue has been put to the people, even in California, the people have supported traditional marriage. So this notion that the people broadly don't support traditional marriage, that hasn't been the case, when it's been put to a vote," he said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) also on "State of the Union" said Americans were now more open to homosexuality and argued for a repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.
"Marriage is always a creature of the state for legal reasons -- divorces, inheritances, adoption. All family matters are done by state law. What DOMA did was … it said you could have none of the federal rights or benefits that come with a state same-sex marriage. In my view that's both wrong and unconstitutional," she said.
Feinstein last week introduced a Senate bill with 27 co-sponsors to undo DOMA and which would allow same-sex couples to receive the same federal benefits as are afforded to a husband and wife.
She said "as time goes on" gay marriage would become more acceptable to many Americans.
New York voted to legalize gay marriage in a highly charged late-night session last month, joining Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C.
New York is the most populous state to legalize gay marriage, and its decision brings to 35 million the number of Americans permitted by law to marry either sex. Some 39 states have statutes banning same-sex marriage.
The New York bill, signed into law hours after its passing by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, is believed to have bolstered the governor's credentials as a potential presidential candidate in 2016, and led some to speculate he could become President Barack Obama's running mate in 2012.
Gov. Cuomo on Sunday proclaimed July 24 as a "Day to Commemorate Marriage Equality," saying in a statement: "The State of New York respects and supports the bonds of love, trust, and commitment that exist between two people in a committed relationship, and therefore recognizes that the right to marriage under the law must be respected and protected equally for all New Yorkers ...
"Today, the effective date of the Marriage Equality Act, is a profoundly important day for the countless New Yorkers who will heretofore have the right to enter into the bonds of marriage in their home state."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg later Sunday plans to officiate the marriage between his chief policy adviser, John Feinblatt, and the city's commissioner for consumer affairs, Jonathan Mintz, Bloomberg News reported.
In an interview alongside Feinblatt and Mintz with Christiane Amanpour on ABC's "This Week" broadcast Sunday, Bloomberg said: "It's [gay marriage] gonna take off simply because of the economics and the young people as they have more and more influence on the political process, as they get older, as they support campaigns. … This is a trend that will grow very rapidly partly because New York is such a bellwether."
Former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani, a Republican, last week argued that the GOP should "get the heck out of people's bedrooms and let these things be decided by states," while Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is widely speculated to be considering a run for president in 2012, on Friday said New York's gay-marriage decision is "their business."
"That is their call," he told the Associated Press. "If you believe in the 10th Amendment, stay out of their business," he said.
Republican presidential hopefuls Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum have signed a pledge to defend marriage between a man and woman. Newt Gingrich, who did not sign the pledge, last month said New York's gay marriage ruling showed the nation was "drifting toward a terrible muddle."
The first couple to marry in Manhattan were Phyllis Siegel, 76, and Connie Kopelov, 84, who have been together for 23 years, the AP reported. Opponents of the law rallied in cities across New York demanding a statewide referendum.
