VIRGINIA BASEBALL TEAM OPEN SEASON TODAY, SCOTTIE UPDATE




The Virginia Cavalier baseball team will open up its season today against Bucknell, the Cavaliers have high expectations again this year in a very tough ACC. The VCU Rams basketball team will play Nevada tonight in a Bracket Buster game, the game is on ESPNU. Down in the Georgia High School Wrestling Tournament Scottie got pinned with 3 seconds left in the 2nd period of his match by the defending state champion, he will wrestle again later this morning. The Richmond Renegades will continue there road trip tonight in Huntsville, the Gades need to start winning on this trip or they will be home for the playoffs. It looks like the Governor of Virginia will sign a no smoking ban in restaurants into law today which is fine with me, now they will not have to ask you your seating preference. Also fellow blogger Keith will be heading back home today from another grueling week of government work. MICKEY

If your iron level is low, you may tire easily and not have enough stamina for activity. The best sources of iron are animal products, but plant foods such as fortified breads, cereals, beans and green leafy vegetables also contain iron.

What Causes Blisters?
Blisters typically develop due to friction on the skin. This can occur from the rubbing of clothing or sports equipment on the surface layer of the skin. Over time, continued friction can cause the top layer of skin to separate from the second layer of skin. (See an image of the skin layers).

One warning sign that a blister is about to develop is redness and warmth on the skin called a "hot spot." Next, fluid fills the space between the top two layers of skin to provide protection from continued rubbing. When this happens you will see a blister that looks like a little bubble on the skin.

Most people get blisters on the heels, soles of the feet, and palms of the hands because they rub against shoes, socks or sports equipment. This type of friction, especially in moist, warm conditions, is perfect for blister development.
