GADES WIN 12 STRAIGHT GAME, IT'S SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

The Richmond Renegades dominated the Jacksonville Barracudas last night at the RC extending there winning streak to 12 games with a 5-1 win in front of the largest crowd of the season 6,494 screaming Renegade fans. The Gades next game is at home on Wednesday night when the Fayetteville FireAntz visit the RC. Well today is Super Bowl Sunday but since Green Bay got knocked out two weeks ago this game just doesn't mean as much to me, however I would like to see the NY Giants beat the Patriots though. Allot of people aren't giving the Giants a chance to win this game but allot of people didn't give them a chance to win at Dallas or Green Bay either. The VCU Rams maintained there 1 game lead in the CAA yesterday beating the Towson Tigers 65-42, maybe they were inspired by Lee being accepted at VCU. The Virginia Cavaliers woes continued in Blacksburg yesterday falling to Virginia Tech for 2nd time this season in OT 72-65, the schedule isn't getting any easier for the Cavs either. Can you believe that next week is Bud Shootout, it just seem like last week that the Nascar season ended. MICKEY

Determination, patience and courage are the only things needed to improve any situation.

Fitness Tip
Persist at a steady pace and be patient. If you are trying a new activity and are unfamiliar with the skill, take some time to practice. Your body isn’t used to the new movement patterns and needs to adapt neurologically, physiologically and mentally. Getting a good night's sleep and reviewing the new skills in your mind will help the coordination between your mind and body.

Health and Diet Tip
Enjoy fresh or frozen vegetables, depending on your preferences, lifestyle and budget. The nutrient content of raw and cooked veggies is similar, but cooking some vegetables increases the nutrient content over raw. When vegetables are cooked, the body uses minute phytochemicals called antioxidants to repair cell damage caused by “free radicals,” toxic byproducts of normal metabolism and the environment.


Bitter or better?
There are those who experience adversity and become bitter as a result. Then there are others who face similar adversity and become better as a result. Bitterness is usually a very understandable response, yet it's never an effective response. It serves primarily to prolong and even expand the pain.

The positive, life-affirming response is not to become bitter, but rather to find a way to become better. The surest way out of adversity is to use that adversity as an opportunity for becoming stronger, more positively focused and more effective.

When you've been hurt, you have every right to feel bitter. You also have every right, and every reason, to move quickly away from that bitterness. If you feel you're becoming bitter, use that as a cue to instead become better. Bitterness cannot ease the pain. Choose to grow stronger, and even adversity will have a positive purpose.
