RENEGADES WIN ON NTHE ROAD, VCU LOSES AT NEVADA

The Richmond Renegades were trailing 5-3 going into the 3rd period last night but scored 4 unanswered goals to pick up a 7-5 win over the Huntsville Havoc, the Gades will continue there road trip tonight in Knoxville. Also last night in the SPHL there was bench clearing brawl in the game between Columbus & Twin City and I have posted a video of the fight that I got off of YouTube below. The VCU Rams didn't fair as well on the road last night at Nevada falling to the Wolf Pack 71-70. The Virginia Cavaliers will be looking for the 3rd straight ACC win in a row today at N.C. State, I think the Cavs have a good shot at winning this one. The Virginia baseball team came out swinging yesterday knocking off Bucknell 12-0, they will play 2 against Bucknell today. Brian Vickers captured the pole for this weeks Sprint Cup race at the California Speedway. Down in Georgia at the high school wrestling tournament Scottie lost another tough match when his opponent used some type of arm bar move on him, the way Scott described sounded like it was painful. I am very happy to report that the donuts from Wal-Mart were very good this morning and the ones that Sheetz have don't even come close to matching up with donuts from Wal-Mart.  MICKEY

AN AMAZING FACT
Peaches will peel more easily if blanced for a minute in boiling water, then plunged in cold water for a minute to stop the effect of the heat.

Preventing Blisters
To prevent blisters you have to minimize friction on the skin. You can do this by wearing appropriate footwear that fits. Some moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic blends can help reduce friction and moisture on the skin of the feet. Some runners commonly tape their blister-prone toes or heels prior to a run to prevent blisters. While band aids and other tape can be used, many athletes (myself included) often use a small strip of duct tape on these trouble spots. Duct tape stays in place for long runs and the shiny back is slick enough to slide on socks and other skin. One other option is to apply petroleum jelly or talcum power before exercise to reduce friction. I've used this as well, and while it works for shorter runs, it's rather messy and wears away on long runs.

If you have any "hot spots" during activity, it's important to treat them right away to prevent the blister from developing. Try to keep your feet dry or change socks if possible. If you can't stop activity or change shoes, socks, gloves or other gear, your best option is to apply a 2nd skin dressing or moleskin and tape the sensitive area. Another quick and effective treatment is to apply a generous amount of petroleum jelly to the area to reduce friction. You will probably need to reapply often.
