Johnny Weir And All His ‘Fabulousness’
Posted by Michelle Moquin on March 2nd, 2010
This article and video was brought to my attention. Johnny Weir, a men’s figure skater in the Winter Olympics this year, who is openly gay and proud of it, has fans from around the world that admire and adore him for his flair and flamboyance.
However, his fabulousness…love that word used to describe him, also makes him a target for homophobic remarks. It’s bad enough that homophobes joke and put down gay people making ignorant comments under their breath, but when it’s done live, there’s no backing out of it: Your true feelings are now public. Busted.
Two sports commentators, Claude Mailhot and Alain Goldberg of the RDS network, had the gaul to go after Weir on the air saying that they think, “All the boys that skate will end up like him,” and “We should make him pass a gender test at this point.” Of course and no surprise, they later apologized.
And once again….same old song and dance. I am so sick of people saying or doing something, getting busted for it, and then false apologizing for their actions, when if they hadn’t gotten called out, there would be no apology whatsoever and their rude, homophobic, racist, you fill-in-the- blank actions would continue. Tiger Woods and a few politicians seems to come to mind but that is a whole other topic.
Johnny Weir held a press conference Wednesday in Vancouver to address remarks made by two veteran sports commentators during the Olympics who suggested that his fabulousness (our word) is a bad example of, and for, male figure skaters and joked that he should undergo a gender test. [The comments] have a Quebec gay rights group contemplating filing a complaint with the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.
Weir began by joking that he grew stubble for the press conference to show that he’s a man, but his tone quickly got serious. He’s not asking for an apology. He says he believes in free speech and wouldn’t want these men fired for expressing their opinion. (“I’ve heard worse in bathrooms and whatnot about me,” he quipped.) He just wants them to think before they speak — and to imagine the damage they could do to people like him and to generations of children whose parents may not give them the same freedom and support his did if they think their child will only be ridiculed for being who he or she is.
“I would challenge anyone to question my upbringing and question my parents’ ideals and feelings about bringing up me and my brother, who’s completely different from me but taught very much the same way that I was,” Weir said. (The conviction in his voice during that statement had to have made his parents as proud as any medal he could’ve won.)
There’s a reason he’s calling attention to the situation: “Even my gender has been questioned. I want that to be public because I don’t want 50 years from now more young boys and girls to have to go through this sort of thing and to have their whole life basically questioned for no reason other than to make a joke and to make people watch their television program
,” he said.
He summed up his message — ”I hope more kids can grow up the same way that I did and more kids can feel the freedom that I feel to be themselves and to express themselves” — and his belief that the concepts of masculinity and femininity are old-fashioned. “There’s a whole generation of people that aren’t defined by their sex or their race or by who they like to sleep with. I think as a person you know what your values are and what you believe in, and I think that’s the most important thing.”
How do you think Weir handled the controversy? I say beautifully. For once, the focus went beyond the superficial “You can’t say that on TV!” headlines to make the media stop and examine the meaning and effect of what was said. Weir understands it’s not just children who have to have self-confidence, but also their parents. If Weir speaks in high schools after the Olympics — and he should — I hope parents are encouraged to come to the assembly. I think his controlled, articulate passion might actually reach them.
Readers: Comments? Anything to add? Blog me.
Jenny: Happy to hear my blog made it in your top three for the morning. Minus the fag, I feel the same way. Enough said about the loo :) My blog gets me going too…I can’t imagine waking up and not writing. That would just be very strange to me….like something big was missing in my life.
As far as being a proud woman for the first time…continue to be. Women are beautiful and amazing, and so many other things….and sooner than later, the world will realize that, if I and so many others can help it.
Stephanie: I agree with you on all three counts.
Petro: Well said and so do I.
Zen Lill: In regard to your comment “…repugs I know usually have good health care…”, my point exactly. It is obviously because they have it.
Charles: I can feel your rant as I read. And it is justified. I am so tired of people trying to convict OJ over and over again. Let it go. The guy was found NOT guilty. But you’re right; it’s not enough. They want their day to bury him…they want their pound of flesh, as you say.
I’ve written about OJ a few times here. You might want to click over and check it out. Feel free to come back and jump on your soapbox anytime.
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my ‘loyal’(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle

I like the way he stayed on his point without feeling the need to give criticism back to the sportscasters. I love his point about everyone having no idea what makes him tick, do we know what makes people we know tick, sometimes we do and sometimes we do not…judging is just not a good thing to do since we’re not walking in anyone’s shoes but our own. Good for him for being so in control of himself and what he wanted to express.
Howie, the healing vibes were once again sent for you and Al, for you…a shrunk tumor that is not cancerous, and a speedy recovery, for Al, rest and relaxation. When we did ‘superwoman’ and I skipped the ‘fly by’ part (to see how you/Al were doing), one boy yelled out ‘what about the fly by to Florida to check on ‘the guys’?’ hahaha…they all groaned when we had to repeat that one exercise and hold it for another 60 seconds : ) we’ll keep it up over here and we’ll await your results eagerly. My syvasana or ‘corpse’ or ‘resting’ pose has turned into quite the popular event, I take the opportunity to speak on helping others heal through positive thought, and any other darn thing I think will make them better people.
Time for: hi ho…off to work I go : )
Luv, Zen Lill
March 2nd, 2010 at 1:26 pm
oh and Howie, I have been acused of being true blue as a pal and whether that’s in person or on a blog, it’s something you can count on. I never waver in my loyalty…unless you decide to become an ax murderer and burden me with knowing about it : ) – ZL
March 2nd, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Zen Lill: Come one … I don’t believe I have it in me to become any kind of murderer. So don’t even joke about it. We are friends and it is as simple as that.
I am as gentle as a lamb.
Thanks for the healing vibes again.

GIRLS AND WOMEN VULNERABLE TO KNEE INJURIES
There are many physiological and anatomical differences between men and women beyond the obvious ones — including, as it turns out, vulnerability to orthopedic injuries. It appears that how women are built leaves us — and our daughters, like my two soccer players — four times more likely to suffer knee injuries, especially to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee joint.
Although the ACL is the smallest ligament in the knee, the fact that it is part of the connective structure between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone) makes it critical to stability.
A torn ACL can be painful and often requires surgery, followed by four to six months of physical therapy to regain proper functioning and return to sports. New research provides an improved understanding of how to protect yourself from the risk of injury — not to mention the resulting pain and cost for treatment.
RESEARCH TO DATE
Research a few years ago revealed one major cause of ACL injury in women — after a jump, as in basketball or volleyball, females tend to land with straighter legs than males do, which puts more pressure on the ACL.
Research also has shown that females often have an imbalance between the strength in their quadriceps muscles in the front of the thighs and the hamstring muscles in the back of the thighs. This alters knee functioning and may affect stability.
The newest study on female knees comes from the University of Michigan, Division of Kinesiology, adding a subtle but important additional clue to the ACL/female injury issue. Researchers found that many women athletes maintain a knock-kneed position when landing after a jump.
When I called orthopedic surgeon Jo A. Hannafin, MD, PhD, at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City to learn more, she told me that knock-knees come about for several reasons. Some people (both male and female) are simply born this way — it is the anatomic alignment they were given.
But often it is due to yet another muscle imbalance, this one between the inner (medial) and outer (lateral) thigh muscles. In this study, researchers determined that females — even those who are not knock-kneed — tend to activate the stronger outer thigh muscles in preparation for a landing.
Without equally strong inner thigh muscles to provide balance, the knees rotate even further inward, increasing the risk to the ACL. Playing primarily one sport year-round or repeating the same exercise routines makes injury even more likely — repetition of one activity builds only the muscles the particular sport requires, and may create a strength imbalance, says Dr. Hannafin. Cross training helps avoid this problem.
Not only jumping sports but any that involve torquing the knees — the twisting that is inherent in skiing, tennis or even ballroom dancing — puts pressure on the knee and increases risk of injury, says Dr. Hannafin.
This makes it important for all active women to pay special attention to their knee positioning and muscle strength balance.
To find out if your inner and outer thigh muscles are balanced, Dr. Hannafin suggests doing a mini-squat on one leg (described below) —
if the bent knee goes toward the other knee rather than remaining pointed out straight, it shows weakness of the inner thigh muscles and the muscles of the hip and buttock that rotate the knee outward.
PROTECT YOURSELF
Strengthening and balance training exercises to build up the muscles and paying close attention to how you jump, land and pivot can help you avoid such injury.
For example, focusing on trying to land with knees that are slightly bent, or decelerating before switching directions when you’re moving quickly (as in tennis) may help, according to a report by the Journal of Athletic Training. Here are some suggestions from Dr. Hannafin:
• Wear the right shoes. Key: Supportive shoes with a good, strong sole. Avoid flip-flops, sandals and fashion flats as these can aggravate problems in people who are flat-footed or who pronate excessively. Look for sandals with a built-in arch or use an arch support in your shoes.
• Stand straight. Pay attention to how you position your hips during all activities, including standing. You can get some sense of this by doing your exercises in front of a mirror, but if you are serious about sports, consider an assessment by a sports physical therapist.
• Strengthen hips. Strengthening hips also helps prevent injury. One way to do this is with hip abductions, says Francesco Gallaro, MSPT, CSCS, a certified strength and conditioning coach and physical therapist in Norwalk, Connecticut.
These also serve to strengthen gluteus muscles. Do two or three sets of eight to 12 reps of standing resisted hip abductions, using a rubber band. Kick one leg from the midline of your body to the side in a backward diagonal direction.
Note: Kick should be a smooth continuous motion. Try to complete the entire set without the foot touching the ground. Good hip strength prevents the knee from rolling inward into a knock-kneed position.
• Balance thigh muscles. To strengthen and balance the thigh muscles, Dr. Hannafin advises making a routine of the one-sided mini-squat mentioned earlier. Keep the gluteus (the muscles of your buttocks) tight and pay close attention to activating muscles on both sides of the leg.
To perform this exercise correctly, stand on one leg. Bending from the knee, lower your body down until your knee is bent to 45 degrees (you don’t have to go all the way to a sitting position for it to be effective). Raise yourself back up. Do two or three sets of 10 repetitions, each leg.
• Strengthen the hamstring (for the quad-hamstring imbalances mentioned earlier). Gallaro suggests the deadlift. Stand on one leg, bend your body forward at the waist so you are at a 90-degree angle.
Raise yourself back up — do three sets of eight to 12 reps. The leg not in contact with the floor should be straight and in proper alignment with your trunk. Try performing a set without letting your foot make contact with the ground. As you get stronger, you can do this exercise while holding weights.
• Perform leg strengtheners. Leg presses at the gym are also helpful — but with a strong caveat, says Dr. Hannafin. It’s important to maintain proper form, keeping your knees over your feet.
Women tend to squeeze their knees together as they push against the platform — this further strengthens and trains the outside of the quad to do the work, leaving the inner thigh muscles getting weaker. Try placing a small ball between your knees when you are on the leg press.
• Don’t ignore your core. Finally, Dr. Hannafin recommends core strengthening exercises. Having strong pelvic and lower abdominal muscles, interestingly, helps to protect your knees. Pilates is good for this, of course, as are assorted core-exercise programs that employ large exercise balls.

Isn’t anyone tired of hearing white news people and pundits finding a way to see the point of some stupid white man. Chris Matthews can the see the point of Bunnings.
If Bunnings was an OTW, he would just be a out of it fool. But since he’s white there must be some logic to his inanity.
the reason republicans can get away with their hypocrisy is that the news people never ask them to account for their lies.
I am firmly convinced that Chris Matthews.is a bigot trying to convince us that he is not.

Michelle,
Thanks for keeping us posted and up to date, and for all the other good stuff you do. Hope all is well with you and Doug (the main dude one).
Hi, Main Dude Doug, are you good?
Linda,
Hi. You guessed it, I am now a cyborg and I had to first master tying my shoes because I kept falling down, I am not yet functioning at full capacity but I am still here.
I have a lot of things going on lately and have been very busy, not to mention that I have also been a little moody.
I have nixed my computer usage almost entirely due to some prioritizing (Howie reads a lot of comments and Michelle’s post to me). Thanks for asking about me and your kind words.
Klattu Nickto Veradda.
Zen Lill,
Hey you, how are you? Thanks for all your help and for what you and your yoga kids do (I would probably be a wreck without it). I normally don’t sleep well, but lately I have been able to get 7 or 8 hours straight, you figure the intention experiment might be working?
I’m no ax murder, but I did have a fight in 7th grade and gave my adversary a bloody nose, and I told my brother to f**k-off once for calling Ann Landers a twit. Hope this doesn’t put a damper on our friendship.
And I really want to thank you for your concern.
Bye-Bye and tas up.

Hafa adai Anna, I like the way you keep us informed about what is happening on Guam by mostly talking directly to the island.
I live in New Orleans. Some of the girls who exercise with me using Zen Lill’s advice have suggested that one of us do the same here for NOLA(New Orleans) I like it so much that I will give it a try.
Here is my first mention. The head line in to day’s paper was:

Washington man electrocuted by urinating on power line
By The Associated Press
March 01, 2010, 2:28PM
An Elma, Wash., man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a one-car crash near Montesano.
Grays Harbor County sheriff’s Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday that Roy Messenger, 50, was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday night. Messenger called a relative to pull his car out of the ditch.
When family members arrived they found Messenger electrocuted. Pimentel said Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn’t see the live wire.
Pimentel said there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger’s body.

” From beginning to end the bible is full of murder, infanticide, genocide and incest. I don’t think any religion past or present deserves a pedestal just because it is currently popular. “Question with boldness even the existence of a god, for if there be one, surely he would pay more homage to reason than to that of blindfolded fear”

Fuck you niggers. You know that OJ got off because a bunch of monkeys didn’t know how to conduct themselves on a jury.
They went for the celebrity.
Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown did what they had to do to get that nigger.
Now his black ass in in jail. I hope some white power gang has bought his ass and is reaming it out.

Many Christians think their bible is so good for humanity, why is it they don’t teach the story of Lott in Sunday School?
Does anyone really think it is ok to murder children because they called you “baldy”?
The god/s of Abraham can only be defined as dictators, you cant vote these characters out of office and when you defy them they get really nasty, much like an abusive spouse.
We can no more fear a god/God, than we fear Mickey Mouse. But the fans of invisible beings do believe this and we merely are challenging believers to examine what they claim.
Humanity has managed fine without belief in Isis and Thor and I don’t think humanity needs to worship a cosmic camera in the sky who beats the tar out of you for the slightest transgression.
If one can accept that Allah didn’t exist as a claim 1 billion years ago, what makes anyone think Jesus will be remembered 1 billion years from now? What is so frightening to humans to say, “This is all there is”?
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:27 pm
I agree with you Tom. Nigger athletes get millions pulling them out of the ghetto and the first thing they do is go after our white women.
I say string those niggers up by their balls. I am so sick of being politically correct. I am a civil servant and I have to tolerate the niggers, slopes, jews, sand niggers, wet backs and the like in my court every day.
I wish I could lock them all up and throw away the keys. Hitler had it right. Fuck jails we need to throw the animals in oven and bake until done.
The sad thing is that the system has to sentence sinful white boys to the same prisons that house those animals. I try my best to limit the time white men have to spend in those zoos.
I sit and look out at those animals every day. I sometime nod off into a place where the doors part and we machine gun down the animals.
The shame that white men who have violated the laws of their peers have to sit among those animals. It takes a lot, a hell of a lot to maintain one’s composure while dealing with mud people of every sort. .
If OJ had been in my court, I would have sentenced that nigger to time without parole.

Why do religious people get so offended when their beliefs are attacked but ignore and try and hide things like priests raping children. I think they have some issues in which problems to worry about.
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:41 pm
It’s amazing how it’s always the bible carrying Christians that get completely defensive every time anyone questions their views.
Aren’t they suppose to practice tolerance and love? They need to turn the looking glass internally and see just how corrupt and juvenile the entire religious system is.
Just because YOU can’t function without the absurd belief of a higher power dictating your every move doesn’t mean we all have to feel that way.
I for one am completely comfortable in my mortality and don’t feel the need to explain it away with fanciful beings..

If You Must Eat Fast Food…
Stephen Sinatra, MD
University of Connecticut School of Medicine
Even though most fast food is bad for your health because of its high-fat, high-calorie and high-salt content, there are ways to eat a relatively healthful meal at a fast-food restaurant — if you know a few tricks.
SECRETS TO READING THE MENU
When fast-food chains promote menu items as healthful, the claims are often exaggerated.
TRAP 1. Chicken meals. Chicken is frequently touted as a healthful alternative to beef — but beware of the preparation method. Example: Wendy’s Chicken Caesar Salad topped with Caesar dressing and croutons delivers 540 calories and 32.5 g of total fat.
Solution: Order Wendy’s Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich (with honey mustard sauce) at 211 calories and 7 g of total fat.
Another option: At Wendy’s, you can order a plain baked potato and top it with a small (three-ounce) order of chili, for a total of 350 calories and 2.5 g of total fat. Potatoes are a good source of potassium, which has been linked to reduced stroke risk.
Bonus: The fiber in the chili, mostly from beans, slows down the absorption of the sugar that naturally occurs in a baked potato. When sugar is absorbed too quickly, it leads to a spike in insulin (a blood sugar–reducing hormone). These surges in sugar and insulin create metabolic stress in the body.
TRAP 2. Salad dressing. The salad dressing used on a fast-food salad can add more calories than most people realize. Example: Without dressing, the McDonald’s Bacon Ranch Salad with Crispy Chicken has 350 calories and 4 g of total fat.
If you choose the Newman’s Own Ranch Dressing for the salad, it adds another 170 calories and 3 g of total fat.
Solution: Switch to Newman’s Own Low-Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing with 40 calories and 1 g of total fat.
TRAP 3. Calories from cheese. Many people forget about the cheese in fast foods. Example: Taco Bell’s Chalupa Nacho Cheese with beef, which is heavy on ground beef and cheese, contains 370 calories and 22 g of total fat.
Solution: Order items from Taco Bell “fresco” style — this means the food will be dressed with salsa instead of cheese and sauce. If you order Taco Bell’s Bean Burrito fresco-style (340 calories and 9 g of total fat), you’ll get a serving of beans, which contain protective antioxidants and help control appetite.
TRAP 4. No vegetables. Aside from a few salads, most fast-food restaurants do not offer any vegetables on their menus.
Solution: If you’re eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken, you can get a low-calorie, low-fat meal with a vegetable and legume by ordering a side order of corn (three-inch size, without butter) and baked beans. This combination contains 290 calories and 2.5 g of total fat.
Alternative: Order a six-inch Veggie Delite, made with Italian or wheat bread and no cheese or dressing (230 calories and 3 g of total fat), from Subway. With this sandwich, you can choose from a variety of vegetables to get a meal that contains antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
OTHER DEFENSE STRATEGIES…
Downsize, don’t supersize. A single serving at most fast-food restaurants provides enough fat and calories for two meals. To avoid this calorie load, order a child’s meal… or share one regular-sized food item while adding a side order of soup and/or a small salad.
Give up — or cut back — on soft drinks. If you drink a lot of soft drinks (typically 140 calories per 12-ounce serving), you can lose at least half a pound a week by simply drinking water, seltzer or unsweetened iced tea instead. As an alternative, consider adding a dash of Sprite, 7UP or lemonade to seltzer for extra flavor.
Helpful: If you must have a sweet, large-sized drink, fill the cup halfway with club soda or seltzer and the rest with your favorite soft drink — this cuts calories by 50%.
Caution: Avoid diet soda. It can trigger sugar cravings.
OTHER SMART PICKS
Like most fast-food eateries, a number of restaurant chains with table service also have added more healthful foods to their menus. Best options include…
Ruby Tuesday’s “Smart Eating” menu includes White Bean Chicken Chili. Calories: 223… total fat: 7 g.
P.F. Chang’s standard vegetarian menu offers a steamed Buddha’s Feast for a main dish. Calories: 200… total fat: 1.5 g.
Applebee’s Teriyaki Steak ‘n Shrimp Skewers with Rice Pilaf and Vegetables. Calories: 370… total fat: 7 g.

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN??(A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE)
??I know I’m not going to understand women..??
I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,??
pour it onto your most intimate part, rip the hair out by the root,??
and still be afraid of a spider.
March 2nd, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Howie – just kidding about that ax thing : )
Al, you only told your brother to f**k off once?! I had to tell one of my sisters to do that at least once a week, that was in my teens after years of youngest kid abuse : ) I also had a fight in 7th grade : ) she kicked my ass, I tried to tell her that I’m a lover not a fighter but she wouldn’t listen, it was over in 30 seconds. You’re too funny, love your wit, we all miss it here…and if you’re now getting a full nights sleep it is possible that it is the intention experiment, now I’m going to ask them to send that my way, I’m not the best sleeper…
So many comments to comment on, the meds are on back order apparently…I’ll only put in my two on Cecilia, glad you and yours are getting exercise and your article made me laugh, you have another NOLA fan, me.
Emily, I don’t mind spiders but I very much mind hot wax on my twat, hahaha…! No F’ing way, lucky for me I’m just not that hairy or I might have to think twice about hurting myself that way, yikes…

Hi all
The name’s John, though most people call me ‘Freaky’. :P I’m in my “teens” and kinda lost in the world at the moment…however, I’ve found the hippie “culture” and discovered that it fits me very well…I’m not trying to fit into it, it just kind of fitted onto me.
I have lots of questions, which hopefully some of the older and wiser people on this board will be able to help answer.
Here’s to hoping this board will be able to help me discover more of myself and fuel my beliefs.
big respect , John from [url=http://www.onlinepaydaytoday.net]Online Payday Loans[/url] !
