GADES WIN ON THE ROAD, TO MUCH MUCH GLAZE ON MY DONUTS

The Richmond Renegades went on the road last night and knocked off the Knoxville Ice Bears 4-3 in OT. The Gades jumped out to 2-0 lead only to have Knoxville come back and take a 3-2 lead before the Gades tied it up late in the 3rd to send into OT. The Gades will be back at home tonight against the 1st place Huntsville Havoc who have lost there last two games. The VCU Rams will be at home tonight against the Hampton Pirates, I understand that several fellow bloggers may be in attendance tonight. There are three college bowl games as well today, in our college football pick em contest I think Lee has now been officially eliminated from winning this years contest. Well I did go down to Wal-Mart and yes I did get some donuts, however they had to much glaze on them which almost mad them uneatable. They had about 5 times as much glaze on them as they usually do. In case anybody missed this years Christmas photo albums I have posted links to both albums below. MICKEY

I dream, I test my dreams against my beliefs, I dare to take risks, and I execute my vision to make those dreams come true.

Strengthening your abdominal (stomach) muscles can significantly reduce back pain, but learn to do them properly. Try crunches but don't jerk or lift your lower back off the floor.

DID YOU KNOW
The average person is about a quarter of an inch taller at night.

Returning Items
If you plan on returning items that you received as a gift but don't have a receipt you will want to do it within a week or so of Christmas. Most stores are much more relaxed about returns immediately after Christmas. If you don't have a receipt, they may only extend in store credit rather than cash.

Read a boring book. Save one of your school textbooks or buy a cheap one on a subject you don't care about. When you can't sleep, get up and read a few pages. The more boring or uninteresting the book, the sooner you will feel sleepy. Then go back to bed.

What are common snowflake shapes?
Generally, six-sided hexagonal crystals are shaped in high clouds; needles or flat six-sided crystals are shaped in middle height clouds; and a wide variety of six-sided shapes are formed in low clouds. Colder temperatures produce snowflakes with sharper tips on the sides of the crystals and may lead to branching of the snowflake arms (dendrites). Snowflakes that grow under warmer conditions grow more slowly, resulting in smoother, less intricate shapes.

32-25° F - Thin hexagonal plates
25-21° F - Needles
21-14° F - Hollow columns
14-10° F - Sector plates (hexagons with indentations)
10-3° F - Dendrites (lacy hexagonal shapes)
