Spanish Steak - Recipe Of The Day

Frying chopped onions and tomatoes in a frying pan (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Pound thoroughly by means of a saucer a half cup of flour with a pound
of round steak.

 Then over a hot fire quickly fry the steak and remove.
In the same pan fry two good-sized onions, thinly sliced, and half a
dozen good-sized tomatoes and one large mango pepper.

If the pepper is mild, add cayenne pepper. When the onions begin to get soft and the tomatoes to dry, add the meat. Cook very slowly until meat is tender.
One can use canned tomatoes very nicely for this. Cook onions and
tomatoes and peppers together, with plenty of oil or crisco until they
begin to thicken. Then add the meat. This is also a very satisfactory
way of reserving cold steak or any kind of cold meat. After the tomato
and onion mixture is well cooked, add the cold meat and heat up all
together.

New Full Size V8 Car Gets 25-30 MPG

If you look back through history, you can't help but ask, what happened to technology?  Full size V8 engine cars or SUV's get a mere 8 to 21 miles per gallon of gas at their best.  And that is with all of the advanced technology features and computers added into modern vehicles.  Yet when we turn back the clock to the early 1940's, we see this advertising for a big, heavy steel car advertising 25 to 30 miles per gallon.  No advanced computers, no advanced technologies, just plain simple good old fashioned gas engine.

  Is anyone wondering about the state of education these days?  This is the kind of information that everyone should be looking at and asking questions about yet no one hears anything at all about this kind of stuff.  No one is looking through history and asking questions.  Why do we have so much unemployment when there is so much work to be done?

New driver safety laws in Va Effective July 1st, 2013

New laws to become effective July 1st
Published : Friday, 28 Jun 2013, 4:22 PM EDT
    -DUI/DWI leaving victim with permanent injury
    -DWI/DUI felony offense
  

Updated: Friday, 28 Jun 2013, 4:33 PM EDT

VIRGINIA (WAVY) - New laws scheduled to become effective July 1, 2013, implement tougher penalties for those who are distracted while operating a motor vehicle.

Texting While Driving

Current laws include texting while driving as a secondary offense, meaning a person may only be charged if they are found violating another traffic law. On July 1, texting while driving becomes a primary offense, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety .

In addition to this change, the DMV reports, a person convicted of texting while driving will receive a $125 fine for the first offense and a $250 fine for subsequent charges. Currently, the fine for a first offense is $20 and any offense thereafter is $50.The new law also increases the penalties for a person convicted for reckless driving to include a mandatory $250 fine if the person was texting while driving recklessly.

This new law will not change the current hand-held devices law in Virginia, for which there are no restrictions.      

DUI/DWI

Also effective July 1, any DUI conviction will be a class 6 felony if the driver has a current conviction of any of the following:

    -Involuntary manslaughter 

A DUI felony charge also carries a mandatory fine of a minimum of $1,000 and one year in prison.

Provisional Driver's Licenses

Current laws restricts those who hold provisional driver's licenses (driver's licenses issued to people under 18), from driving between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m. unless they are returning from their place of employment or school sponsored activity. Beginning July 1, the law will be amended to allow driving during these hours for additional reasons including coming from an activity that is supervised by an adult and sponsored by a civic, religious or public organization.This will continue to be a secondary offense.   

Moped/Scooters

Effective July 1, those operating a moped or scooter are required to carry a government issued picture identification card. Also, drivers and passengers must wear a helmet at all times and use a face shield or goggles unless the moped has a windshield.

Effective July 1, 2014 all mopeds will be required to be titled and registered through the Department of Motor Vehicles.

911 dispatcher suspended after controversial post - Opinions Not Allowed

Camarillo is suspended pending the outcome of an internal investigation. The City would not say if she is still getting paid.

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - A 911 dispatcher who made a controversial post on Facebook has been suspended from her job.

On June 18, WAVY.com reported Jessica Camarillo posted a comment on Facebook concerning the police-involved shooting of Joshua Omar Johnson, who was gunned down at a Wells Fargo after allegedly trying to pass a bad check and then reportedly hitting an officer with his car.

Camarillo’s Facebook post read as follows:

"I think the officers should sue the [Johnson] family for putting the officers' lives in danger, making detectives work past the time they were suppose to get off, the gas it took for them to get to the scene, the bullets used, the hospital bills, the equipment needed for forensics, and making me work the channel instead of reading my hot sexy book..lol"

Once again we see that opinions are a clear violation to a totalitarian government. Facebook is a violation to the freedom of speech and the concept of privacy does not exist when it comes to Facebook.  One does not have to agree with her opinions, but one should still respect her right to her opinions as well as her right to privacy.  It's a violation to both democracy as well as the Bill of Rights to use this information against her.  

  Beware, you will be censored in a totalitarian government.  Norfolk officials should be ashamed of themselves for such elitist ideals.

91-Year-Old Arizona Man Sy Perlis Breaks Weightlifting Record

By Dr. Mercola

Sy Perlis already holds titles as the 2009 state weightlifting champ and the 2010 and 2011 world champ in the 181-pound weight category in the World Association of Benchers and Dead Lifters.

But earlier this month he accomplished an even bigger feat: when he lifted a 187.2-pound weight, he broke the world record of 135 pounds, which had been in place since 2005. It’s a remarkable victory for any athlete, but what makes this story particularly noteworthy is the fact that Perlis is 91 years old.

91-Year-Old Breaks World Weightlifting Record...

Sy broke a nearly decade-old World Association of Benchers and Deadlifters record in the 90-and-over age division. What makes this especially extraordinary is that he didn’t begin weightlifting until he was 60 years old. And he entered his first competition when he was in his mid-80s.

Unfortunately, increasing physical frailty as you age is commonly accepted as "a fact of life," and this preconceived notion often spurs people (either consciously or subconsciously) to slow down and stop exercising as they get older. But age is notan impediment to staying physically active! If anything, the older you are the more important regular exercise becomes.

While Sy Perlis’ case is certainly not the norm, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be. Most of us won’t be breaking word records in our 90s, but we can all strive to stay physically fit. In fact, more and more people are achieving stunning physical accomplishments in their "golden" years. Most of you are probably familiar withJack LaLanne, who was the picture of fitness well into his 90s, but he is but one example. Others include:

• Tao Porchon-Lynch, who is winning ballroom dance competitions and teaches multiple yoga classes a week at age 94
• Lew Hollander, who became the second 80-year-old to complete the Ford Ironman World Championship, which consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile marathon
• Allan Johnson, who, in his 80s, still competes in rodeo competitions
• Sensei Keiko Fukuda, who, at the age of 98, became the first woman to earn Judo's highest-degree black belt

My Father Is Nearly Sy's Age and Is Better with Non-Exercise Activity

I recently interviewed Dr. Joan Vernikos, who is the NASA scientist that helped understand and correct the negative effects of gravity and how it can reverse the damage that regularly sitting does.

Well, my dad is 84 years old and has a very sharp mind that hasn’t lost a beat, and metabolically and biochemically, he is very healthy. Unfortunately, aging has affected his structural system quite severely and he really can’t walk very well without a cane to assist with balance.

This is despite working as a furniture delivery driver for 47 years in which he would regularly move heavy furniture up flights of stairs. Ever since he retired, he has been doing two hours of cardio a day. For the last five years I have encouraged him to add strength training to his routine but he is somewhat resistant.

However, he did incorporate my latest recommendation for him to stand up every ten minutes from sitting. And this has positively affected his mobility. It is already beginning to make a difference in his balance, which will greatly improve his quality of life.

Who would have known something as simple as standing up every ten minutes would help. Please note that it must be spread out over the day. Simply standing up and down 35 times at once will absolutely not work. It needs to be spread out throughout the day.

Most of us will not be breaking world records in any athletic event at any age, let alone at 91. However, nearly everyone reading this has the potential to have the flexibility and freedom from structural pain that we had in our youth. So I would strongly encourage each and every one of you who spend hours a day sitting in front of a computer like I do, to integrate the non-exercise activities that Dr. Vernikos describes.

Not Exercising? What's Your Excuse?

Whether you’ve never exercised before, or have simply fallen off track, today is the day you can renew your commitment to physical activity. Remember, you are never too old to start exercising. My mom is an excellent example, as she didn't start working out until she was 74 and now, at the age of 78, she has gained significant improvements in strength, range of motion, balance, bone density and mental clarity.

After a bit of apprehension at first, she now, as you can see on the video below, loves her workouts and, I'm hoping, will inspire you to get active as well, no matter what your age.

What Do You Stand to Gain from Exercising?

Research has shown that regular exercise, even initiated late in life, offers profound health benefits. For instance, one study of 40 competitive runners, cyclists and swimmers, ranging in age from 40 to 81, found no evidence of muscle deterioration -- the athletes in their 70s and 80s had almost as much thigh muscle mass as the athletes in their 40s.1 Other research has shown:

• Even a small amount of exercise may protect the elderly from long-term memory loss and even help reverse some of the effects of aging.2
• Women between the ages of 75 and 85, all of whom had reduced bone mass or full-blown osteoporosis, were able to lower their fall risk with strength training and agility activities.3
• Moderate exercise among those aged 55-75 may cut the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which increases heart disease and diabetes risk.4
• Among those who started exercising at age 50 and continued for 10 years, the rate of premature death declined dramatically, similar to giving up smoking and mirroring the level as seen among people who had been working out their entire lives.5

Special Tips for Exercising in Your Later Years

If you're elderly, it's advisable to get a workout buddy -- a personal trainer or someone who is experienced -- to help guide you through your routine. Start off slowly and gradually increase intensity as you grow stronger, avoiding activities that aggravate or cause pain. Just keep in mind that while you need to use caution, you do need to exercise at a level that is challenging to your body.

Otherwise the true benefits will be forfeited. Ideally your fitness program should be comprehensive, providing the necessary balance-training activities for stability while also improving your strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and fat-burning capabilities. This includes activities such as:

High-intensity interval-type training (HIIT) like Peak Fitness

Once you hit the age of 30, you enter what's called "somatopause," at which point your levels of HGH begin to drop off quite dramatically. This decline of HGH is part of what drives your aging process, so maintaining your HGH levels gets increasingly important with age. HIIT boosts your body's natural production of HGH, which will help address the muscle loss and atrophy that typically occurs with aging. The higher your levels of HGH, the healthier, stronger and more “youthful” you will be.

French Stew - Recipe Of The Day

Onions on a neutral, mostly white background (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Take a pound of beef cut in small pieces and fry it until brown. Remove
and fry in the same pan the following vegetables: Three small radishes,
three small carrots, three small onions, half a dozen potatoes, a little
green ginger, a green chili or two, and three or four mint leaves. The
ginger, chili, and mint leaves should be finely minced, but slice the
other vegetables. When the vegetables are nicely browned, remove, make a
little gravy in the pan; pour this gravy over the meat, add the
vegetables, and cook very slowly together until the meat is tender. If
liked, it may be made with only potatoes and onions and meat.
