SCHOOL IS BACK OPEN TODAY, UVA WINS AGAIN


Well after taking most of the week off most of the schools in the area will be back open today on a two hour delay. I was starting to get concerned that they weren't going to get any education this week. The Virginia basketball team picked up another win last night at home with a 59-47 win over the N.C. State, fellow blogger Keith was in attendance rooting the Cavaliers on to victory. Who would have ever thought that the Virginia Cavalier basketball team would be tied for first place in the ACC on Feb 4, I don't think many people thats for sure. The VCU Rams picked up another win on the road last night knocking off UNC-Wilmington 72-60, the CAA is starting to get pretty tight at the top with 1st place George Mason losing last night. It looks like we might pick up a few inches of snow tomorrow before it changes over to rain in CH and then it looks like we may get 1-2 inches of rain before it changes back to snow briefly on Saturday. Whatever it does around here it sounds like it is going to be a very messy day. MICKEY

You need to count calories to be successful. Although food journaling is advisable, it isn’t necessary. For the most part, calorie counting is a must for those people who don’t eat REAL food that is REALLY healthy. It’s when we eat unhealthy foods that we need to count and track what we ingest because we’re consuming a lot of empty calories that provide very little, if any, nutrition.

Why do we pick at scabs?
For the same reason we might mindlessly pick at some dried glue on our hand—our subconscious mind sees it as something foreign that doesn't belong on our body. Of course, scabs are part of us (at least temporarily), and they're critical for wound healing, which is why the picking stops when our conscious mind kicks in. But it isn't entirely in our heads: The presence of histamines in scabs can make them feel itchy. If the urge to scratch becomes unbearable, Dirk Elston, M.D., a dermatologist at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania, recommends gently massaging an intact scab with Sarna anti-itch lotion, which contains camphor and menthol that will cool and soothe the irritation.
