Take Action:Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:Why a Sweet Tooth Isn't So Sweet
By Jennifer Gruenemay, ACE-Certified, September 17, 2011
If money's the root of all evil, what's sugar? The root of all cavities. Jokes aside, sweets are also at the root of a lot of weight problems. Could candy consumption be your diet downfall?
Sure, you don't eat that many sweets, right? Well according to the USDA, the average American consumes approximately 22 pounds of candy each year. If that statistic doesn't shock you, take a look at the back of the label on your next candy bar.
At around 300 calories a bar and loaded with saturated fat, partially-hydrogenated oils (trans fats) and high-fructose corn syrups, candy doesn't do a body good. It has no nutritional value, period. Sure, it does the soul good, and when you need a treat, you need a treat. But for your day-to-day doings and goings, keep sugary treats to a minimum and satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit instead.
- Update: DADT has been repealed.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! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
- 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 customers. 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? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
- 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 over 1 mIllion dollars to anti-gay marriage groups + serious history of employment discrimination of LGBT community.
- 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.
- NEW: "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 renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class 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! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

Gay soldier writes a sassy and sad account of his year in Iraq
Wisconsin State Journal - Sep 17, 2011 - TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER
As a nation, we've grown accustomed to seeing auditoriums filled with uniformed, spine-straight soldiers on their way overseas, or pictures in the paper of smiling servicemen and women, arms full of family, on their way home.
Watching these scenes, many of us outside the military wonder what our troops have seen.
We may never know, though, because much is buried and more is classified. But military secrets aren't the only ones kept in times of war. In the "The Last Deployment" by Bronson Lemer, we learn of the anguish of denial.
Lemer was "probably the last person anyone expected to join the military." But, as the oldest of six children, he wanted to get away from North Dakota and "the Army... happened to be at the right place at the right time."
Lemer was still in high school when he joined the National Guard.
Five years later, on Jan. 20, 2003, his cell phone rang. Though he was months away from getting out of his Guard obligation and was "tired of it," Lemer learned that he was being deployed. His "horrible decision" to join the National Guard was turning into something he never thought he'd have to worry about: Lemer was a gay soldier under the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.
But in going to Iraq, he knew he had to learn to rely on his fellow soldiers, and vice versa. So he tried to relax as he traveled with them to Colorado and, later that spring, to Kosovo, then to Iraq. Lemer went along with the jokes, the girlfriend talk, and the "adolescent" behavior. He participated in anything that banished the boredom of guard duty, cleaning duty, and outhouse duty. He emailed a former love, and longed for home.
As a few months' tour of duty stretched into a year, Lemer began to notice something: deployment was taking its toll on everybody. The men and women who left the States were not the same people who came home from Iraq.
And neither was Lemer.
Over the past decade, we've been inundated with scenes from TV and stories in magazines about the war in Iraq. But "The Last Deployment" is a uniquely poignant account of what it means to serve in our military.
Lemer, who will be appearing at the Wisconsin Book Festival in October, delivers a memoir that is part sass and part sad, with a few heart-pounding moments but no blood and guts. His story moves between idyllic memories of his childhood and warm feelings for his bunkmates and peers and the boredom of waiting and the dismay of hiding in order to be accepted.
Lemer's is a wonderfully descriptive, wryly humorous, heart-crushing book. With the repeal this week of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, his story is timely and definitely worth reading.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
