AG visits Youth Camp, recognizes volunteers

Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia, visits the 10th annual Virginia National Guard Youth Camp July 30, 2015, at Camp Pendleton in Virginia Beach, Va. The weeklong camp is presented by the Virginia National Guard Family Programs Office and offers the children of Virginia military members a wide variety of outdoor and indoor activities, as well as trips to Ocean Breeze Water Park, the Virginia Aquarium and Busch Gardens. After a full day of activities, campers conducted a flag folding ceremony prior to the evening meal, then took turns signing each others camp t-shirts. In addition to talking with campers, Williams also thanked the many adult and youth volunteers whose efforts make the camp possible. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Virginia National Guard Public Affairs)
Hostel/Orphange Student with His Free Meal
Image by uncultured
The Dharmarajika Orphange & Hostel services a total of 400 students – 15% of which are orphans and the remaining 85% coming from families too poor to be able to support their children. Almost all of the children come from tribal regions in the Chittagong Hill-Tracts of Bangladesh (an extremely poor part of Bangladesh). Although the majority of the students are Buddhist, the place is multicultural and also has Hindus.
In this photo, one of the hostel students picks up one of his regular free meals. Staff at the orphanage tell me me that, given the expensive cost of food, they usually have to skip meat products (fish, chicken, beef, etc) and stick with rice & vegetables only.
Another Small Business Closure

A buddy of mine who’s a retired Army Medical Service Corps Non Commissioned Officer is being forced to close his coffee shop on Christmas Eve after five years of working his ass off getting it up and running and being successful. This is what the .00 minimum wage in New Jersey does to small businesses. It destroys them.
He has about 10 or 11 employees. All of whom are high school / college kids who aren’t depending on their paychecks to support a family. For most, it’s their first job. My buddy bends over backwards to let them work whenever they can when they aren’t going to school or have other academic requirements. No big corporation they could possibly find a job with is going to bend over backwards like he has to work with their schedules.
The lease for the coffee shop is coming up and his accountant told him that he’d have to double his sales to make it financially viable. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen.
This is the future of small service oriented businesses in New Jersey and other states who impose an artificially high minimum wage. They shut down completely or eliminate jobs. Both of my local McDonald’s now have computer stations for customers to order their meals. There’s a local high-end grocery store (Wegman’s) that just put in 12 self-service lanes. That’s at least 24 jobs or more they were able to eliminate. That’s your .00/hour wage. No job.
I flew out of Terminal C of Newark Airport in October. There are tons of restaurants and shops. Every bar/restaurant and shop has eliminated most of the hourly workers. Every seat at a restaurant/bar has a tablet you use to order your food/drinks and a runner brings it out. Same thing if you’re buying a coke or bag of chips to take on a flight. You scan and pay for your purchases yourself.
Small businesses have warned the public about what would happen if you establish an artificially high minimum wage. Looks like they were right on the mark. Goodbye entry-level jobs.

Paleolithic Bodybuilder – Paleo Diet Crossfit Exercise Paleolithic Caveman Richard Nikoley PaleoHacks Bodybuilding -2
Image by Paleo-Caveman-Omnivore-LowCarb-Meat-Diet-Info
Normal vs Paleo Diet Bodybuilder – Is the Caveman dietgreat for bodybilding? See the pics.
Grok is pale, from living in a cave. Things living in a cave turn pink and white, like albinism, or a cave mushroom. Ice Age paleo man would also be pale and sickly looking, because in the arctic he’d get no sun. Paleo man in the arctic didn’t go to the beach.
The Paleo Diet, espoused by Mark Sisson, Robb Wolf, Richard Nikoley and others, is based on the principle of do what Grok the Caveman did. That means they and you are to live in a cave and turn pinky white.
This is probably why they calle it the PALE eo Diet.
That, plus your face when you see that according to Robb Wolf and The Paleo Diet, you have to do what Grok did, and Grok probably ate lice, raw offal meat, hair, eggshells, parasites, and botfly maggots.
Many people "believe" that "The Paleo Diet" (the one in their books) is actually what paleolithic man ate. This is not true. The Paleo Diet is not thousands of years old and what mankind evolved to eat for thousands of years, it’s a few years old, concocted in a fad diet book that they are pushing, to feed their checkbook by chewing pieces out of yours. If you don’t think so, ask yourself or the guy telling you you have to go paleo, How many MAGGOTS do you eat? If they say none, or just look at you funny, remind them that meat draws botflies within merely a few minutes, sorry grok can’t fan all of them away, they land and lay eggs, which turn into larvae in the meat, and maggots. Grok ate more than a few maggots.
Remember Cavemen also didn’t have refrigerators. If some caveman can eat only a few ounces or grams, and the beast he theoretically killed weighs upwards of a thousand pounds or 500 kilos, that means he can’t eat it in one sitting. So it’s gotta sit. Warm meat. Perhaps out in the african noon day sun, or sittin in some dirt. Or drug into a mouldy dank mildewed cave, and it would begin to rot.
Caveman Grok couldn’t put any food in a freezer, so technically if you are on the paleo diet, you cant either. You have to leave your food and meat out. Not just in your house, but OUT. As in outside, in the sun, and where flies can land on it. Afterall, it’s what grok did. Plus, according to Robb Wolf and Mark Sission, you not only ‘should’ do this, you were explicitly DESIGNED for it! Because according to their paleo diet, you are expressly evolved to eat maggots. In fact, you should be inborn with a desire to eat them and have your brain wired to the idea they are delicious. That is, if you subscribe to the paleo diet.
Paleo food is full of maggots. It would also be potentially infected with viruses, such as AIDS, SARS, Bird flu, H1N1 virus, swine flue, spanish flu, trichinosis, brucellosis, ecoli, fecal bacteria, and Scabies.
Naturally, your brain right now is wired to think these are scrumptious sounding! Afterall, the paleo diet says you EVOLVED precisely to eat these. And, according to paleo, you can eat it and not get sick, because afterall, if you’d been eating it for thousands or millions of years, you’d be immune to salmonella, ecoli, giardia, cryptosporidia, sars, aids, and anthrax by now as a human, right?? This is what Robb Wolf, Richard Nikoley and Loren Cordain and whoever signed you up for that crossfit class and wants yout to go paleo, want you to believe.
Crossfit is now widely regarded as a humiliation. It’s considered a laughing-stock of the fitness world, sort of like disco rollerskates and the mullet. It involves doing burpees and some pushups. Running around, and pretending you’re going up steps. Crossfit is often ridiculed as "Paleo Pilates!" (the woman’s light exercise).
Cavemen didn’t have olympic barbells. Not even dumbbells. And certainly not the fushigi of fitness fads: the kettle bell. If you see anyone with a kettlebell, you know immediately they’re into the latest fad diet, might as well have been into spandex in the 80’s. Sorry, Grok didn’t use kettle-bells. Especially little pink rubber coated 2 pound ones.
If you are doing ANY weightlifting, or using iron plates, barbells, kettlebels, dumbbells, any machines, leg presses, cables, nautilus, treadmills, etc, sorry but you’re not Paleo Crossfit. And since we see No structures in paleolithic archeological digs, cavemen didn’t run around with stones, or logs, or stumps, they ran around after animals with a tiny pointed stick. Probably more often ran AWAY from the animal in the opposite direction. And with meat lying around, the carnivores would smell it for miles and end up making Grok their next meal. Carnivorous wild animals don’t eat fruit, so if Grok had that, the carnivores would have left him alone, and would have had higher survival rates. A diet of meat would have meant predators smell the stink and would have led to paleo man’s more likely death and eventual extinction.
Thus this is why crossfit and paleo are horrible for bodybuilders. Lack of protein, parasites that would eat muscle and cause tissue degeneration, diseases that would waste muscle tissue, body odor, bad breath, vomiting in cross-fit puke-buckets, no weights or barbells, just what amounts to esentially warmup ‘calisthenics’ (burpees and jumping jacks, and pushups), which is not sufficient to build bodybuilder class muscle mass.

Relocation Readiness Manager Denise Chappell, volunteer Conversational English instructor Kristine Sims and two members of the Conversational English Program handed out free copies of their International Spouses Cookbook and chatted with shoppers at the Fort Huachuca Commissary Jan. 6. The idea for a cookbook sprang from members of the group bringing food from their home countries to meetings.
