    Health, Wellness, Exercise, Reflections:
    Weekend Warriors: Work Out Less, Live Longer?

    By Jennifer Gruenemay, ACE-Certified / June 05, 2012

    No time for exercise during the week? You're not alone. Millions of adults are stretched for time and can only spare a few precious moments to exercise during the week. And that makes weekends the perfect time to catch up on fitness. We call those people "Weekend Warriors."

    Although fitness experts recommend exercising at least 30 minutes each day, research suggests that those who burn a lot of calories on the weekends and not during the week are still much better off than those who do not exercise at all. Burning just 1,000 calories in 1-2 exercise sessions a week (or weekend) can increase your chance of living for at least 10 years longer than sedentary individuals by 60%.

    In other words, don't adopt an "all or none" attitude! Some is better than none, and fitting it in on the weekends is just fine.

    June 27 is National HIV Testing Day. I hope you will go out and get tested. Let's all lead by example and break the stigma.
    Take Action:
    • 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 a LGBT friendly 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 money to anti-gay 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 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.
    • "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?

    And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

    This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, you should select the "Male Athlete" that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!

    On gay marriage, Cheney shows heart. Why not courage too?
    Los Angeles Times / Opinion / By Paul Whitefield / June 22, 2012

    The Wizard gave Dick Cheney a new heart in March.

    If only he'd gotten courage as part of the deal.

    On Friday, Cheney's daughter, Mary, married her longtime partner, Heather Poe. The couple have two children.

    And how did the staunchly conservative Lynne and Dick Cheney, bastions of the Republican right, react?

    "Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized," the Cheney family said in a statement. "Mary and Heather and their children are very important and much-loved members of our family, and we wish them every happiness."

    Which is nice, isn't it?

    It's also more than a little hypocritical, of course, considering that Dick Cheney once supported an effort by the George W. Bush administration to impose a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages.
     
    Then again, as vice president, he said he believed that the question of legalizing same-sex marriage should be left to the states.

    And after leaving office, he had this to say in 2009 on the subject:

    "I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don't support."

    It appears, strangely enough, that Cheney may be "evolving" on this issue, just like President Obama, who recently came out in support of same-sex marriage.

    Of course, Obama caught immediate flak from Republicans for his change of heart. Had Cheney been running for office, I'm sure he would have joined in the criticism. That, after all, is politics. You might not like it, but you can understand.

    What I question, though, is Cheney's courage.

    Saying that same-sex marriage should be left to the states is simply trying to have your cake, by supporting the daughter you love, and eating it too, by trying to reconcile what you really believe with the tenets of a hard-right Republican Party.

    Does Cheney truly want his daughter's marriage recognized in Washington, D.C.,  but not in, say, Virginia, where the couple reside, or in Wyoming, which he represented in Congress? Because that's what you get if you let the states decide. Nor would the state be able to give married same-sex couples the federal benefits that heterosexual married couples receive.

    No, I don't think Cheney prefers those scenarios. I think he would prefer that his daughter, her spouse and their children have the same rights as all married couples.

    Too bad he doesn't have the courage to say so.
