How To Choose A Fitness Club
So you've decided you'd like to join a gym. That's great! But wherever you turn, there are billboards, ads on buses, and commercials on the radio and tv for fitness clubs, all advertising low prices and guaranteed results. So how do you choose the best gym for you? Selecting the right gym will take a little bit of time and research, but will be worth the effort in the long run.
The first thing to take into consideration is a fitness club's location. You're much more likely to be consistent with your exercise routine if your gym is convenient for you to get to. If you prefer to work out right after work, you may prefer to look for a gym that's close to your job. If you work out on weekends, you may want to look for a fitness club that's closer to your home. If you travel frequently, consider looking into a gym that has locations in places that you visit frequently.
You'll also want to make sure that you choose a gym that has hours of operation that fit with your workout schedule. If you enjoy working out early in the morning or late at night, a gym that's open from 9-5 isn't for you. If you like to work out on weekends, inquire whether they close early on the weekends.
Identify what you need in a gym. Do you just want to run on the treadmill and use weight-lifting machines? These are basic machines found at almost every gym. If you enjoy group fitness classes, inquire about the gym's classes. Do they offer classes you are interested in, at times that are convenient for you? Also take into consideration any amenities you want in a gym. Some fitness centers offer anything from hair dryers and towel service to pools, saunas, and spa services.
Once you've narrowed down your choices, request a tour of any gym you are seriously considering. Are the facilities clean? Is the equipment well maintained, or are there several machines that are out of order? Do you feel comfortable with the general atmosphere?
While you tour the gym, be observant of the staff. They will be there to answer any questions you have about equipment and your fitness routine. Are there a sufficient number of staff members available? Are they friendly and helpful? Staff should also be trained in first aid and CPR, and be certified with a reputable organization. Don't be shy to ask about the staff's certifications. After all, you are trusting them with your most valuable commodity, your body.
Finally, take advantage of any free trials. A gym may look perfect on paper, but the best way to find the right gym for you is to get in there and try it out.
Workout Ideas for Couples
Hectic schedules can sometimes make it difficult to set aside enough time to dedicate to your fitness regimen and also spend enough quality time with your significant other. Relationships, much like fitness regimens, require lots of time and commitment, and at times it may seem hard to balance both. But these two priorities don't need to come in conflict - working out together can help you both achieve your fitness goals while spending quality time together.
Working out as a couple has several physical as well as emotional benefits. Men and women tend to focus on different types of exercise when working out; Men usually favor strength training, while women typically focus on cardio. Exercising together can help to balance out each of your workout programs to incorporate both cardio and strength training. Partners can also help to watch each other's form and serve as a spotter during difficult exercises. In addition, exercising as a couple gives you a common interest and allows partners to give each other motivation and support, which can help deepen your bond.
It can be tricky to start working out with a partner, particularly if you are at different fitness levels. Below are some suggestions that will help you get a good workout together.
- Join a class together. Pick an activity you're both interested in trying; from kickboxing to yoga to swing dancing, the possibilities are virtually limitless.
- When using cardio machines at the gym, work on machines that are next to each other. This will allow each of you to work at your own intensity level while still being close to each other.
- Challenge your significant other to a high-energy game of basketball. Rouse up a little friendly competition and start burning calories!
- Go for a power walk or jog outside. Walking at a brisk pace can be great exercise, plus you'll get to enjoy the scenery and outdoors together. Adding intervals to your walk or jog will help to accommodate both your fitness levels.
- Stretch it out. Assisted stretching has been shown to help improve flexibility and feels good, so give your partner a gentle tug or push, just be careful and go slowly to ensure you don't overdo it.
- Go play outside. Remember as a kid how you would spend endless hours playing outside? Recreate those childhood memories with your partner - play a game of tag, jump rope, or go for a bike ride.
The "Core" Essentials
Over the last few years, core training has become a staple of exercise routines, though it has been the focus of ancient practices such as yoga and tai chi for centuries. Yet many people don't have a good understanding of what exactly the core is, and the importance of core strength not only in your workout, but even in everyday activities such as walking or lifting groceries.
Many people mistakenly interchange the terms core and abs. Actually, your core runs the entire length of your body's trunk and torso, and includes the muscles in your back, abdomen, pelvis and hips. These muscles form the foundation for all your body's movement, your posture and your balance by helping to stabilize your spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle. If your core is strong, you are more stable during movements, your posture is better, and you have greater strength and power during your activities. A weak core can result in poor posture, injury, and lower back pain.
So now that you understand the importance of a strong and stable core, how do you incorporate core training into your workout? A good core training program should target all the muscle groups that stabilize the spine and pelvis. Though there are several pieces of equipment such as stability balls, balance boards and kettle balls that can help with core training, you can build core strength without any equipment. The strength required to hold a pose, coupled with the gravitational pull of your body weight are enough to effectively work your core muscles. Push ups, squats, lunges and crunches are basic exercises that can help you get started on building core strength; pilates, yoga and tai chi classes also focus on exercises that develop your core, or consult with a trainer, who can help you develop a personalized core strengthening regimen.
Successful Weight Management
Having a weight management strategy benefits pretty much everyone-whether your goal is to maintain your weight or get better muscle definition. Make a plan and remember it's always a good idea to speak with your doctor about your weight goals and before making any significant changes in your diet or exercise routine. Here are some tips that may help you get a plan together.
We know the basics-to manage your weight you need to burn more calories than you're taking in and if you're eating more than you're burning you'll gain weight. The secret to making the jump from knowing how to change your weight to actually getting results is to make a commitment to a lifestyle that supports your goals. It may sound like a full time job, and there's no doubt that when you're starting out with a new plan, it takes a while to find what works for you.
When you're figuring out your strategy you should always keep a few questions in mind:
- will your diet include plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, lean protein and foods from the other major food groups?
- whatever the idea behind the diet, does it feature foods that you can afford and can find easily?
- will you be eating foods that you like and will commit to eating for the long term, not just a set amount of time?
- do you have the time to prepare these foods?
- will you get enough nutrients and calories on this plan?
That takes care of the food, but you also have to be balancing your diet with exercise. If you have a personal trainer, ask what kinds of exercises are right for your body and your goals. Always speak with an expert before trying new techniques so as to avoid injuries.
Remember, though, that research shows whatever kind of exercising you're doing, it should be done regularly.
Drop Pounds By Making Smart Choices
Little things mean a lot—whether you're trying to sculpt and tone or improve your health, making small changes in your day can help you drop a few pounds with very little extra effort. Take a look at the tips below for some ideas.
1. Cut out the empty calories. Find some empty calories in your daily routine that you can eliminate. For example, if you cut out one can of cola a day, you'll knock off about 136 calories per day.
2. Drink water. It may help you eat less and burn more calories. Drinking a glass or two of water before a meal will fill you up and can help you eat less. And researchers are now reporting that water consumption may increase the rate at which people burn calories.
3. Lighten up your omelet. It's an easy way to cut out over 100 calories a serving. By using ½ cup of egg whites in your omelets instead of ½ cup of whole eggs, you can cut out 120 calories.
4. Team up. People who exercise together are more likely to stay motivated. Find a friend and put together a realistic exercise plan, even if it's just a 20 minute walk during your lunch time.
5. Slim down your poultry. Thinking of using chicken thighs? Think again. By switching to white meat and removing the skin, you take an eight ounce serving from 560 calories to 375 calories and cut out 24 grams of fat.
6. Get your Z's. Sleep deprivation may be packing pounds onto your waistline. Research shows that a lack of sleep may make weight loss and weight control more of a challenge because it alters metabolism by increasing the production of cortisol (a stress hormone). Also, you're more likely to eat more if you're feeling fatigued.
7. Only have 15 minutes? You don't have to commit hours a day to make a difference. Add a brisk 15 minute walk to your day and burn extra calories. If you want to challenge yourself and pick up the pace - switch to a 15 minute run and burn even more calories.
8. Get portions under control. Cut your poultry or meat portion from eight ounces to five ounces just once a day and you'll eliminate around 138 calories.
9. Eat several small meals a day. Frequent, small meals will actually increase your metabolism. Eating small meals every few hours during the day can help keep your metabolism revved up and that means you'll burn more calories overall.
10. Choose whole grain products. This is an easy way to reduce your caloric intake significantly. A small muffin made with white flour contains about 259 calories. If you were to replace it with an oat bran muffin of the same size, you'd cut out about 81 calories.
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is used by many personal trainers to aid in determining ways to help clients work efficiently, safely and effectively in their movements. But what exactly is it?
Briefly, kinesiology is the study of the way the body moves. It studies physical activities performed during normal, everyday actions and also actions involved in movements in sports and dance. Additionally, applying the information developed through kinesiology can be useful in improving health, physical fitness and rehabilitation from injury.
Team Fuel member and personal trainer, Shaun Eckhardt, graduated with a degree in kinesiology and says he finds it extremely beneficial in determining optimal workout strategies for his various clients.
"If you don't know how the human body works, it's hard trying to design programs that fit a particular person's body and genetics," he says, adding, "I see a lot of trainers training people the way they work out themselves." Shaun says the problem with that approach is that people have different goals and body types and one approach can't be applied to everyone.
If you're interested in taking a course on kinesiology as part of your personal trainer education, visit the American Council on Exercise's Web site for more information.
Tips on Dining Out
You watch what you eat and make smart choices about how to fuel your body. Don't let a meal out mess with your good diet strategies.
You're not going to be stuck with a green salad and plain baked potato if you just get a little creative. Here are some ideas to get you started:
-Stay away from cream-based soups and sauces- they have more fat and calories than most other options.
-When available, choose whole wheat pasta or brown rice- complex carbohydrates fill you up faster and absorb into your body more slowly so your blood sugar won't spike.
-Drink water with your meal- again, you'll fill up faster and you'll avoid the empty calories in soda, juice or alcohol.
-Order your salad with the dressing on the side- this way you'll be able to control how much you add while you eat.
-Avoid all-you-can-eat places- they'll make you want to eat more to get your money's worth. Stick to an a la carte menu whenever you can.
-Choose lean cuts of meat- skinless chicken breasts and turkey sausages or burgers are usually a safe bet, as is fish, depending on how the dishes are prepared.
-Select foods that are steamed, baked, grilled or broiled- usually they have less fat and fewer calories.
-Get the side of salad, not fries- most restaurants will make the substitution even if it's not listed on the menu.
-If you want dessert, share it- or if you're not feeling generous, order a dessert lower in calories and fat like fresh fruit or sorbet.
If you're attending a party or wedding where you don't have the option of making the kind of choices outlined above, just be smart about portions- leave some food on the plate and skip dessert.
Nintendo Wii* - The newest craze in fitness. But does it really help?
In 2006, Nintendo once again revolutionized the world of video games with the release of the Nintendo Wii video game console, launching a new era in the age of video games- the exergame era. Exergames, as the word implies, incorporate elements of both video games and exercise that require players to use physical movements to manipulate actions in the game. The console comes bundled with a Wii Sports package, which includes baseball, boxing, bowling, golf, and tennis.
The exergame would seem to be a natural next step in fitness in a country where people spend an average of 19 to 25 hours a week watching TV and playing video games. But can you burn a significant amount of calories and get a good workout just from playing Wii Sports?
That's exactly what the American Council on Exercise (ACE) aimed to find out when they sponsored a study on the exercise benefits of the Wii.1 Exercise scientists at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse Exercise and Health Program recruited 16 volunteers (equal males and females) between the ages of 20-29 for the study. After taking an exercise test to determine maximal heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake, subjects played each of the five Wii Sports games for 10 minutes in random order, with a five-minute break between each game to allow subjects heart rates to return to within 10 beats of their normal resting rate. Participants were instructed to simulate the body movements used in each actual game. For example, for tennis, participants would swing their entire arm as they would a racket, and change their stance when necessary. Researchers recorded heart rate and oxygen uptake at one-minute intervals, and interviewed subjects during the final minute of each sport to determine their perceived level of exertion.
Though all participants experienced increases in heart rate, oxygen uptake and perceived exertion — and therefore calories burned — calorie expenditure was greatest for tennis (5.3 calories/minute) and boxing (7.2 calories/minute), which are higher intensity games. A half-hour of sparring using Wii Boxing can burn a total of 216 calories, and a half-hour Wii Tennis match can burn 159 calories.
Playing Wii golf burned 3.1 calories/minute, bowling burned 3.9 calories/minute, and baseball burned 4.5 calories/minute. In addition to burning the most calories, boxing was the only game with enough intensity to maintain or improve cardiorespiratory endurance as defined by the American College of Sports Medicine.
So what's the bottom line? Playing Wii Sports can provide a decent workout when you just don't have the time or motivation to exercise. After all, it does burn calories and increase energy, and well, it's just plain fun, which may help you stick with it. However, engaging in the actual sports provides more cardiovascular and strength benefits than playing Wii Sports, because you utilize your entire body, and the accessories required for these sports, such as a bowling ball or a baseball bat, weigh significantly more than a Wii controller.
Note: Expanding on their exergame idea, in May of 2008 Nintendo launched Wii Fit, an extension to the Wii that uses a balance board to take players through 40 different exercises including aerobic workouts, strength training, balance and yoga. ACE is currently sponsoring a study to examine the benefits of the new Wii Fit.

Hydration is Key for Peak Performance
Water is one of the most important components of the human body. Making up almost 2/3 of the body, water assists nearly every part of the body in functioning efficiently. Just to give you an idea of how important water is to our health, consider this: our blood is made up of 92% water, and our brains and muscles are each made up of 75% water. Water plays a critical role in regulating body temperature, cushioning and protecting joints and vital organs, delivering nutrients and oxygen to all the cells in the body, and removing waste from the body.
For athletes and individuals who exercise regularly, staying sufficiently hydrated is also critical to exercise performance. The body can lose more than a quart of water in one hour of exercise, and if there is not enough water for the body to cool down through perspiration, dehydration occurs. Exercising while in a dehydrated state can result in exhaustion, muscle fatigue, loss of coordination, heat exhaustion, and in more extreme cases, heat stroke.
The Food and Nutrition Board recommends that women consume 91 ounces of water daily, and that men consume 125 ounces daily, with approximately 80% of your daily intake coming from beverages, and 20% through food.1 People who exercise regularly need even more, especially if they are working out in warm to hot weather. Women typically do not require as much hydration as men due to smaller body size, slower perspiration rates and electrolyte loss, and lower metabolic rates during exercise.
However, the rate at which individuals sweat and dehydrate varies depending on length and intensity of exercise, altitude, and temperature. There are two simple methods that will help you determine your individual hydration needs. First, monitor your urine. You should have a large amount, and urine should be pale (unless you are taking vitamins or other supplements, which can darken the color of urine for several hours). Dark, concentrated urine generally means you are dehydrated. Second, weigh yourself before and after exercise. Drink 16 to 24 ounces of water for every pound lost after a workout.
To ensure that you are properly hydrated for your workout, be sure to consume an adequate amount of fluids 24 hours before you exercise. You should also prehydrate with 17 to 20 ounces of water at least two hours before exercising, and drink 7 to 10 ounces of fluids every 10 to 20 minutes during your workout. And as stated, after completing a workout, consume 16 to 24 ounces of water for every pound of weight lost to help your body recover and rehydrate for your next workout.2
Though water is generally the best fluid replenisher for most individuals, if you are engaging in high-intensity exercise for longer than 45-60 minutes, sports drinks containing sodium can help to replace electrolytes lost during your workout faster than water. Individuals who sweat profusely during a workout or who have a high amount of sodium in their sweat (evidenced by salt stains or rings on your workout clothes) may also want to opt for sports drinks, and monitor their diet to make sure they consume enough sodium.

5) John McCain had a public and almost childish exchange with the conservative group Club for Growth this week in which the anti-tax group and McCain's campaign posted dueling YouTube videos criticizing the other. Coming on top of skipping the CPAC convention, where he was roundly booed, it's another sign of McCain eschewing the traditional bastions of support in the GOP, which may strengthen his "maverick" image but at the same time undermines support he'll need to make it through the primaries.
6) Barack Obama's crowds on the campaign trail are becoming their own story. In Oakland last weekend he found a 10,000-person crowd, and numbers like that aren't rare for him at this point. The enthusiasm for him on the campaign trail this far out from an election is surprising. In 2003 Howard Dean attracted then-record-breaking crowds like Obama's in August; while that support didn't necessarily translate into votes, it certainly helped boost the campaign's momentum. If Obama can harness the support now and keep the enthusiasm up, it'll have a major impact on the race.
7) Democratic candidates are busy courting labor unions. Tomorrow most of the major candidates will convene in Las Vegas for a health-care forum sponsored by the powerhouse SEIU. John Edwards and Hillary Clinton both have had dinner recently with a group that includes leaders of the United Steelworkers, the American Federation of Teachers, and the Communications Workers of America. The unions pose an interesting conundrum for Democrats: If Edwards hopes to knock off Hillary and Obama in the primary, he needs some strong (and preferably early) help from organized labor, which, apart from the firefighters, didn't play a major role in the 2004 primaries. If the unions start to break for Hillary or Obama or split between them, Edwards is going to have a nearly impossible road ahead of him.
8) George Pataki has quietly passed the word among his staffers that they're free to go to work for other campaigns because it appears unlikely he'll run. The decision narrows the field of top-tier GOP candidates by one. With Newt Gingrich, Chuck Hagel, and Fred Thompson hanging off to the side for now, there's still a lot that could develop in the GOP field.

Newberry: A shot through the heart
GEORGETOWN — There's no golden goal in high school soccer.
But boy it sure looked like Cal Johnson's finish of a beautiful pass from Colton Kowalick would be a golden memory for Rider soccer as the Raiders were inching toward a third title at Birkelbach Field.
Rider had given up a goal for the first time in forever, but the Raiders came back with force in the second half.
And with that beautiful overtime goal and a defense used to protecting one-goal leads, it appeared destiny was on the Rider side.
But it wasn't meant to be as 91 seconds later the Rider defense was flagged for a foul in the box and Alex Strimple converted a penalty kick.
And then soccer's version of the coin flip — the shootout — decided the championship as Alamo Heights won 3-2 in the shootout for a 3-2 final score.
"It can be a cruel game sometimes," Rider coach Josh Hill said afterward.
And one of those cruel turns was the last shooter of the shootout with a chance to keep the Raiders' hopes alive was Johnson.
Rider had fallen behind 3-1 in the shootout and needed conversions by Nathan Van De Vyvere and Cal Johnson with a save by Drake Szczepinski in between.
"I didn't see if Drake saved the last one and then I was praying to God, please give me the strength to finish this kick, and get it to the sixth shooter," Johnson said. "It just didn't work out."
The winner of these shootouts always feels like a winner. Rider's last three finals have been decided that way. But I'm still not sure there should be anyone feeling like a loser.
Gold and silver were decided by basically a coin flip. I'll remember the way Rider came out smoking in the second half, getting Christian Okeke into dangerous spots and creating chances.
And then the great precision for go-ahead goal in the 85th minute was something special. Johnson thought so much of it that he ran back toward midfield with his shirt off in celebration, drawing a yellow card.
It's easy for 40-somethings to not like that, but hard to blame him for enjoying that. Many of these kids have been playing soccer together since grade school. They've been through a bunch of hard practices, road trips and soccer camps. A lot of skinned knees and bruises collected over the years.
And that goal did really feel like gold. It seemed worthy of that display of pure joy. His eighth and no doubt most memorable goal of the year.
I wasn't surprised at the Rider comeback. I had spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out the last time the Raiders rallied from behind to win a playoff game. I know they did in the 2007 final. It appeared that was the script once again.
"I thought we had it," Johnson said. "It didn't work out for us. Whenever I got the goal I thought that was it, they weren't going to come back. They got that PK and they were able to hold on to a shootout."
Johnson and Szczekpinski both told me how much they loved their team. Their silver medals should have some memories as good as gold.
"In football we came out with 'One Family, One Team,' but in soccer this really was a family," Johnson said. "We spent a lot of time together. All the times in the hotel playing FIFA. It was a helluva ride, it just kind of sucks that it ended this way.
"We just wanted to get a gold medal and a big trophy and state."
They didn't lose because of will or want to. They just lost a coin flip. A cruel ending indeed no matter who wins.

Originally written on PRO Rumors | Last updated 2/9/12
The Texas Rangers have agreed to a two-year deal with right fielder Nelson Cruz, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports. The deal is for $16mm plus an unknown amount of incentives. The two-year deal will take Cruz up to free agency. When healthy, Cruz can be one of the most feared hitters in the league. But the key is health as he has played in only an average of 120 games over the last three seasons. Back in November, we heard Cruz express his desire to sign a long-term deal with Texas. Cruz did receive a five-year offer from Texas prior to the start of the 2011 season, but wasn't happy with the overall money. Last season, Cruz hit .263 with 29 home runs and 87 RBIs, but saw a 55 point decrease in his average from last season. Though a deal was agreed upon, the sides will continue to work on a long-term deal. Image taken by Keith Allison and used under the Creative Common License Agreement.

Ainsley woke up on the couch to a knock on the door and blinked as fear chilled her veins for a few moments. She glanced around the apartment rapidly, trying to see what time it was until she remembered her phone. The knock grew louder when she realized it was midnight and Ainsley stood up slowly. She leaned up to peek through the hole in the door, frowning when she saw Connor standing...Read On

"Spank me." I can hear my own voice quiver with an insatiable need as I whisper, breathless, my fingers curling into fists. I wince, my nails pressing into the palms of my hands so hard, leaving little red-pink crescents in my flesh. I know this, without looking. It's not the first time the need in me has been so strong. Insatiable. That's the word you love to tease me with. Your...Read On

Ms. Price going to interview the couple of the century.
Prelude I wake up and see the ray of sunshine coming through the bay windows of my apartment. This isn't even mine, but owned by the mogul Michael Jonas. He flew me out here to do a story about a family—'an interesting family', as he put it. He instructed me to go visit them at their house and to be there at 9 am the latest. I look over at my clock. Shit, I think, it's already 8 am . ...Read On

No, he was strict in that sense, overprotective and quite religious. A Muslim of course, you wore...Read On

She had him tied to the bed with his shirt unbuttoned and laid open, exposing his chest. His underwear she left on and planned something special later. She gave him one last chance to confess all he knew before she laid down beside him on his right side and covered his face with slow passionate kisses.

I've had a sexual fantasy ever since Susan and I were married over twenty years ago. I never had the courage to tell her about until a recent shopping trip together.

He hovered over me like a vulture ready to feast off the flesh of my body.
My heart was pounding at a rapid pace. I could hear every beat as it echoed through the book covered walls of Mr. Henderson's study.

After six years, it still sits with me, and I've decided I have to put it into words so others can share the experience. Prior to this, I actually hadn't thought much about guys.

She likes it rough and he delivers (written with the subject's assistance)
She stands there in front of him, in her grey, satin nightie and nothing else, raising an eyebrow, looking in his eyes, waiting to see what he'll do or say. She knows what she wants him to do and say and, more importantly, she knows that he knows. "On your knees, Alya," he says without breaking the eye contact.

Per authorization from the almighty's of ADV riding (nobody) I'm posting this official ruling to clear thing up. Note this Rule from the first post of this thread:
"#4 Tag mascot (i.e. blockhead, chicken, etc.) is required to clame the tag. Please post your "bruced" pictures even if the tag mascot has already been taken. Tag claims must be posted within 12 hours of the 1st "bruced" photo. In the even no official tag claim is made within 12 hours, the person with the 1st "bruced" photo gets the tag and the honor of choosing the next Tag mascot."
For those that can't work out this ADVlegalese I'll cypher. It appears someone may have picked up the "mascot" and not posted a grab picture. So that leaves us at above rule #4. So now if someone else were to post up a tag location picture "Bruced picture" the mascot grabber would have 12 hours to post up a "tag claim" post per stated above rules.
If the alleged present mascot holded doesn't do that then the first Bruced tag claim gets the tag and the honor of choosing the next tag mascot.
Did I type too fast for anyone?
Game is still on and fully in play. mac and the unknown "H20rider have done nothing against the rules of this thread. So quit your fricking baby whining and go grab the tag. It's a fricking riding game and a fricking plastic/rubberr/glass/marble egg. The only person allowed to cry like a baby is the fool/fools that spent $12.95 on the glass egg/eggs that are lost or grabbed.
You're very welcome, And much to mac's dislike I may just grab this tag and move it to the middle of BFN West Texas shortly.....
Oh I like Tor's rule much better:
As to the rules........................they just cause strife.

50 days in, and we've just learned another shocking revelation concerning the Obama administration's response to the Gulf oil spill.
In an interview aired yesterday (6/08), President Obama admitted that he hasn't met with or spoken directly to BP's CEO Tony Hayward. His
: "Because my experience is, when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he's gonna say all the right things to me. I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions."
First, to the "informed and enlightened" mainstream media: in all the discussions you've had with the White House about the spill:
did it not occur to you before yesterday to ask how the CEO-to-CEO level discussions were progressing to remedy this tragedy?
You never cease to amaze. (Kind of reminds us of the months on end when you never bothered to ask if the President was
meeting with General McChrystal
to talk about our strategy in Afghanistan.)
Second, to fellow baffled Americans: this revelation is further proof that it bodes well to have
some sort of executive experience
before occupying the Oval Office -- as if the painfully slow response to the oil spill, confusion of duties, finger-pointing, lack of preparedness, and inability to grant local government simple requests weren't proof enough.
The current administration may be unaware that it's the President's duty, meeting on a CEO-to-CEO level with Hayward, to verify what BP reports.
In an interview a few weeks ago with Greta Van Susteren, I noted that based on my experience working with oil execs as an oil regulator and then as a Governor, you must
what the oil companies claim - because their perception of circumstances and situations dealing with public resources and public trust is not necessarily shared by those who own America's public resources and trust.
I was about run out of town in Alaska for what critics decried at the time as my "playing hardball with Big Oil," and those same adversaries (both shortsighted Repubs and Dems) continue to this day to try to discredit my administration's efforts in holding Big Oil accountable to operate ethically and responsibly.
Mr. President: with all due respect, you have to get involved, sir. The priorities and timeline of an oil company are not the same as the public's. You cannot outsource the cleanup and the responsibility and the trust to BP and expect that the legitimate interests of Americans adversely affected by this spill will somehow be met.
White House: have you read
Washington Post
this week
? Not to pile it on BP, but there's
an extensive report
chronicling the company's troubling history:
"BP has had more high-profile accidents than any other company in recent years. And now, with the disaster in the gulf, independent experts say the pervasiveness of the company's problems, in multiple locales and different types of facilities, is striking.
'They are a recurring environmental criminal and they do not follow
health safety and environmental policy,' said Jeanne Pascal, a former EPA lawyer who led its BP investigations."
And yet just 10 days prior to the explosion, the Obama administration's regulators
gave the oil rig a pass
, and last year the Obama administration
granted BP
a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) exemption for its drilling operation.
These decisions and the resulting spill have shaken the public's confidence in the ability to safely drill. Unless government appropriately regulates oil developments and holds oil executives accountable, the public will not trust them to drill, baby, drill. And we must!
Or we will be even more beholden to, and controlled by, dangerous foreign regimes that supply much of our energy. This has been a constant refrain from me.
As Governor of Alaska, I did everything in my power to hold oil companies accountable in order to prove to the federal government and to the nation that Alaska could be trusted to further develop energy rich land like ANWR and NPR-A.
I hired conscientious Democrats and Republicans (because this sure shouldn't be a partisan issue) to provide me with the best advice on how we could deal with what was a corrupt system of some lawmakers and administrators who were hesitant to play hardball with some in the oil field business.
(Remember the Alaska lawmakers, public decision-makers, and business executives who ended up going to jail as a result of the FBI's investigations of oily corruption.)
As the aforementioned article notes, BP's operation in Alaska would hurt our state and waste public resources if allowed to continue. That's why my administration created the Petroleum Systems Integrity Office (PSIO) when we saw proof of improper maintenance of oil infrastructure in our state. We had to
And that's why we instituted new oversight and held BP and other oil companies financially accountable for poor maintenance practices. We knew we could partner with them to develop resources without pussyfooting around with them. As a CEO, it was my job to look out for the interests of Alaskans with the same intensity and action as the oil company CEOs looked out for the interests of their shareholders.
I learned firsthand the way these companies operate when I served as chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC). I ended up resigning in protest because my bosses (the Governor and his chief of staff at the time) wouldn't support efforts to clean up the corruption involving improper conflicts of interest with energy companies that the state was supposed to be watching.
I wrote about this valuable learning experience in my book, "Going Rogue". I felt guilty taking home a big paycheck while being reduced to sitting on my thumbs - essentially rendered ineffective as a supervisor of a regulatory agency in charge of nearly 20% of the U.S. domestic supply of energy.
My experience - though, granted, I got the message loud and clear during the 2008 campaign that my executive experience managing the fastest growing community in the state, and then running the largest state in the union, was nothing compared to the experiences of a community organizer - showed me how government officials and oil execs could scratch each others' backs to the detriment of the public, and it made me ill.
I ran for Governor to fight such practices. So, as a former chief executive, I humbly offer this advice to the President: you must
. That means you
meet with Hayward. Demand answers.
In the interview today, the President
: "I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."
Please, sir, for the sake of the Gulf residents, reach out to experts who have experience holding oil companies accountable.
I suggested a few weeks ago that you start with Alaska's Department of Natural Resources, led by Commissioner Tom Irwin. Having worked with Tom and his DNR and AGIA team led by Marty Rutherford, I can vouch for their integrity and expertise in dealing with Big Oil and overseeing its developments.
We've all lived and worked through the
spill. They can help you. Give them a call. Or, what the heck, give me a call.
And, finally, Mr. President, please do not punish the American public with any new energy tax in response to this tragedy. Just because BP and federal regulators screwed up that doesn't mean the rest of us should get punished with higher taxes at the pump and attached to everything petroleum products touch.

Okay, not really, but how awesome would that be?
For those of you who don't know who Huell Howser is (and why don't you) check this out:
Okay, Huell is basically a california fixture on PBS for the past ... well, seems like 1000 years. His show California Gold takes you through the many distinct area's of califonia.
My thought is, a boat ride, narrated by Huell, including Huell AA's taking you through the awesomeness that is California.
Want to know about California's Missions? Look at it through Huell's eyes. You can't help but get excited.
Interested in finding out where California get's it's water? Ask Huell, he knows.
Need a place to eat in Downtown LA? Dine with Huell.
So let's get the word out that we want Huell, a REAL California Icon (Sorry Whoopi) to have his own attraction.
It's beyond an E-ticket. It's an H-ticket.

Bonefish Bitters
The Bonefish Bitters has become a standard in and a must have pattern for just about any bonefishing destination. Originated by Craig Mathews of Blue Ribbon flies, the Bonefish Bitters, can be tied in sizes 10-6. The color of the head (the epoxyed bead chain eyes) is typically tinted. Use a tan or brown tinted fly over sand, rubble, or mud bottom. Olive is a good color for fishing over grass. Orange or Pink are great colors for attracting strikes. In this version I use clear UV Resin (Clear Cure Goo or Loon UV Fly Finish) as a substitute for 5 minute epoxy. I have had good luck tinting the head with marking pens after it has been cured with the UV lamp.
The Bonefish Bitters is also great when used for Carp. It can be tied slighly larger when used for carp, where it imitates juvenille crayfish and dragonfly nymphs. For carp I like this fly in Rusty Orange, Tan, and Olive tied on a size 4 or 6.
