HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HEADING TO THE UVA GAME

Well I thought I would wish all you fellow bloggers a Happy Halloween. Andrew will not be going trick or treating tonight instead he will be heading to the Virginia football game against Duke and he is hoping he doesn't get tricked by the Blue Devils. It was a very tough night last night for the Colonials football team as they fell to Thomas Dale 51-0, I don't think there is anything else that needs to be said about this game. I have posted all the other high school scores of interest below. I am going to the Virginia game as well today and I am hoping that the rain holds off, I don't think I can sit out in the rain like I did last week. They will play game 3 of World Series tonight in Philadelphia, I have to say I am rooting of the Phillies. They will qualify today for Tomorrow's Sprint Cup race at Talladega, Clint Bowyer was the fastest in the final practice yesterday. Also don't forget to set your clocks back an hour tonight before you go to bed. MICKEY

Energy Zapper #5: Toxic Indoor Air
Humming copy machines. Cleaning products. Dry-cleaning chemicals. Synthetic carpeting. Even the desks in your office may be contributing to the load of toxins you breathe each day, because all of them release chemicals into the air. "No one knows for sure how much harm these cause to our bodies, but they do build up over time, and can drain your energy by potentially interfering with thyroid function and overloading the body's detox system," says Frank Lipman, MD, a New York City physician and author of Spent: End Exhaustion and Feel Great Again. (Reduce your exposure to chemical toxins.)

Energy Fix
Get outside. If you're feeling tired, go out for 10 minutes to breathe fresh air. Indoors, cultivate houseplants, which are remarkably good at absorbing toxins. And don't wear shoes inside the house--you're dragging not just dirt indoors on your soles, but pesticides and other harmful chemicals too.

Magnified thoughts
Your thoughts are more powerful than you can ever realize. For there is a part of you that faithfully puts each thought into action without question.
Your thoughts affect every part of you in ways much too numerous to ever keep track of. Each thought sets off a cascade of responses within you that cannot be stopped.

What you think, affects where your life goes. For each thought is magnified and manifested through the whole of your existence.

Positive thinking empowers much more than your thoughts. Negative thinking can dismantle every part of your life.

You always have a choice of what to think. When making that choice, always remember each thought has great power that continues long after the thought has passed from your consciousness.

Though thinking does not make it so, thinking makes you make it so. What you think becomes what you live.

Energy Zapper #4: Poor Posture
You already know that not sitting or standing straight is bad for your body. But all that hunching over a computer screen or cradling a phone on your shoulder wreaks havoc on your energy level, too, says Pia Martin, a San Diego health and wellness chiropractor. "When you sit for long periods, you tend to slump forward, leading to rounded shoulders and a tilted lower spine. Your muscles contract, and blood flow is impaired," which limits the amount of oxygen to your brain.

Energy Fix
Sit up straight! Your legs should be at right angles to the floor, your arms at right angles to your keyboard. Be conscious of keeping your shoulders down, not up near your ears. Adjust your computer screen so your eyes gaze at the middle of it. And don't just sit there--if you have to, set a timer to go off hourly to remind you to get up, stretch and get a drink of water. When you get back to your desk, do a quick posture check: Shoulders down! (Reboot your posture with these tips.)

PHILLIES TTAKE GAME 1

The Philadelphia Phillies took game 1 the World Series last night 6-1 over the Yankees, they will play game 2 tonight in New York. I have to say I didn't sleep very well at all last night, I think I woke up every hour on the hour and I am tired this morning. I do have everybody's picks for this week college football pick em contest and have sent them out, tonight the 1st game of the contest features North Carolina at Virginia Tech. Well we didn't have baseball camp yesterday because the field was to wet from all the rain we had Monday night and Tuesday. It's going to be a little cooler today here in CH with highs in the mid 60's but by Saturday is going to be back around 80. MICKEY

Give it Away
Between the leftover candy you were distributing and the haul your kids brought back with them, your kitchen counter might look like a little candy store. A very tempting candy store. Let everyone choose a few pieces of their favorites, and then get rid of it by donating to a local food bank, foster care center, senior center, homeless shelter, or even send it to the troops.

The idea with Halloween is to relish in this sugar-coated holiday, but not go totally nuts with sugar. Let everyone celebrate and enjoy the fun with costumes, decorations, or even a special Halloween dinner with warm apple cider, instead of embarking on a sugar high.

And remember, one peanut butter cup tastes just the same as the ten additional ones you were considering eating.

Energy Zapper #3: Being Bored
Ever sat around for an hour or more not tackling a chore or work because it's just so darned monotonous? Mental foot-dragging, boredom and lack of motivation are draining, says Dr. Salerno. "Put simply, we like to see results, and getting things done gives us a mental energy boost." So avoiding tasks deprives you of that high.

Energy Fix
Find a partner for encouragement--a friend, a coworker--and call or e-mail to enlist her in a time challenge. "Say, ‘I'll check back in with you in an hour, and we'll see if we've gotten these reports/ organizing chores done.'" Or promise yourself motivational rewards for completing the task at hand, suggests Dr. Salerno.

ANOTHER RAINY MORNING, WORLD SERIES STARTS TONIGHT

Well for the 2nd morning in a row I have been awoken by the sound of rain hitting the aluminum siding on the house. I just don't like waking up in the morning knowing that is raining outside, I don't mind it raining later in the day but for some reason when its raining early in the day it just make for a long day. The World Series is suppose to start tonight in New York weather permitting, there is a 100% chance of rain during the day but that chance drops to 30% tonight, I guess it just depends on how much rain they get during the day. In case you missed it last night there was a college football game last night on ESPN2, East Carolina beat Memphis 38-19, next week the Pirates will face Virginia Tech at home on Thursday night. In case you missed it I am now posting my pain index again and you find it on the scroller on the right side of the page. MICKEY

Skip the Candy
It might feel like you're violating some code, but more and more people are opting to hand-out healthy snacks or non-edibles as Halloween treats. Colored pencils, boxes of raisins, organic lollipops, granola bars, or party favor toys are all great alternatives to traditional candy.

Energy Zapper #1: Being Addicted to E-mail
Isn't being wired to the hilt--e-mail, voice mail, IM, BlackBerry--supposed to boost productivity, freeing up your energy? More often, the opposite is true. If you continually halt what you're doing to answer e-mail, check voice mail, and attend to a thousand other beeps and blips, your attention becomes diluted, which leaves you feeling depleted.

There are two things going on here, says John Salerno, MD, a New York City family physician and director of the Salerno Center for Complementary Medicine. "The brain needs a lot of physical and mental energy to multitask, which gets drained," he says. And continually redirecting your attention from the BlackBerry to other stimuli siphons more energy and distracts your brain further.

REDSKINS LOSE AGAIN

The Washington Redskins rough season continued last night with a 27-17 lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Skins offense continued there struggles last night and the defense looked pretty bad in th 1st half as well allowing 2 very long TD plays as well. It doesn't get any easier for the Skins the next few weeks, next week the face the Falcons followed by the Broncos, Cowboys and Eagles again. It looks like it is going to be a rainy day and night here in CH before it finally clears off sometime Thursday. Have a good day. MICKEY

Strengthen your body's defenses. If you don't take care of your body, your immune system can let you down when it comes to fighting infection such as the swine flu. Get plenty of sleep each night so that you're well-rested. A healthy diet is also important, says the Mayo Clinic. Treat your body to healthy foods, including plenty of whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables and fruits to give it the power to help rebuff the H1N1 virus.

Tips and Warnings
If you're concerned about the H1N1 influenza virus, avoid large public settings and crowds to reduce your exposure.

If you feel flu-like symptoms, head to your doctor for a prompt diagnosis and any recommended treatment.

PACKERS WIN, YANKEES HEADING TO WORLD SERIES

The Green Bay Packers crushed the Cleveland Browns yesterday 31-3 in Cleveland, the Browns offense reminded me of the hapless Redskin offense. Next week Brett Favre returns to Green bay for the 1st time since the Packers let him go. Speaking of the Redskins the play tonight at home against the Eagles, it could be another long night for the Skins. The New York Yankees won game 6 last night against the Angels 5-2 and with the win move on to face the Phillies in the World Series which begins Wednesday night in New York. Denny Hamlin won yesterday race at Martinsville edging out Jimmie Johnson for the win, Johnson now leads Mark martin by 118 points in championship race. We have baseball camp again this afternoon so I may be a bit sore tomorrow. MICKEY

Stay away from sick people. If someone is coughing, sneezing, says they're running a fever or just otherwise looks sick, avoid them if possible. Encourage children--and adults, too--to cover their mouths and noses and to use a tissue when they cough and sneeze. Don't shake a sick person's hand if you can help it, and sit on the other side of the room if you can.

Plan Ahead for Halloween
Before going to the store, determine how many bags of candy you will need, not how many you want. That way you know the stockpile of candy is for the little goblins and gremlins at your door.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH, I GOT SOAKED

Well today is fellow bloggers Keith's 49th birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH and I hope you have good birthday. Well I have to say that I think I have finally dried out after sitting in the rain yesterday and watching Virginia lose to Georgia Tech 34-9. Georgia Tech just was just a better team than the Cavaliers. Also I have to say that yesterday was the 2nd wettest college football game that I have ever attended, the worst game that I have ever set through was a game between Rice and Wake Forest back in the late 80's, it never stopped raining that day. Rain also postponed yesterday AL Championship Game 6 between the Angels and Yankees, they will try again tonight. Well will see if anybody can slow down Jimmie Johnson today at Martinsville, if he has another good run today I think it will be tough for anybody to stop him from winning another championship. In our college football contest this week Julianne had another very good week and has extended her lead once again, there is a good battle going on for 2nd place. I will release the updated standings a little later this morning. MICKEY

ANOTHER REASON TO EAT AN APPLE
Bone Strength: Ingredients phloridzin (found only in apples) and boron help to increase bone density and strength.

Wash your hands thoroughly. This simple measure is often one of the most effective ways to protect against any type of influenza, infection or virus. Wash those hands frequently throughout the day with warm water and soap--and wash thoroughly, front and back, for at least 15 seconds, advises the Mayo Clinic. You can also use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer for a quick and easy way to get rid of germs between washings. Always wash or sanitize your hands after coming into contact with a sick person.

I AM HEADING TO UVA, COLONIALS FALL

Well I am getting ready to head UVA for todays Virginia vs Georgia Tech football game and I am hoping that it doesn't rain. There is and 80% chance of rain but at least it is going to be fairly warm with temps in the low 70's, if it does rain I will have dads rain suit with me. I went to the CH game last night at Meadowbrook and it was a tough night for the Colonials as they fell 47-6, CH moved the ball well but Meadowbrook's depth just wore down the Colonials. Next week the Colonials return home to face Thomas Dale. Ryan Newman captured the pole for tomorrows race at Martinsville, Newman edged out Jeff Gordon for the top spot. They will play game 6 of the AL Championship Series tonight with Yankees holding a 3-2 series lead over the Angels. I didn't go to Wal-Mart today but I did go to Dunkin Donuts. MICKEY
