VIRGINIA WINS AGAIN, I AM TIRED THIS MORNING

The Virginia Cavalier basketball team improved to 2-1 last night with a 79-46 win over Rider, the Cavs lead this game most of the way and pulled away from the Broncos in the 2nd half. The Cavaliers will be at home as well on Saturday against Oral Roberts at the JPJ Arena. I am a bit tired this morning because I didn't sleep very well at all last night, I think I woke up about every 30-40 minuted for some reason. Down at the beach tonight both First Flight and Manteo have 2nd round playoff games at home, First Flight will be at home against Whiteville and Manteo will be at home against Plymouth. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will run there final race of the season this weekend at Homestead, it looks like Jimmie Johnson will win his 4th straight title. Well I hope everybody has a good weekend. MICKEY

Swiss cheese Holy cow: “Calcium-rich foods reduce fat-producing enzymes and increase fat breakdown,” says Michael B. Zemel, Ph.D., director of the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Put toe to toe with some of its cheesy counterparts, Swiss is a heavy hitter in the calcium department; layer a slice on a lunchtime sandwich, or stack some on high-fiber crackers.

Get pumped with peppermint.
Try peppermint, recommends Bryan Raudenbush, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology at West Virginia's Wheeling Jesuit University. His research indicates that the smell of peppermint enhances performance and alertness and can reduce fatigue. Try Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with peppermint oil or chewing a sugar-free peppermint gum.

Always successful
In each and every moment, you are successful at doing something. You take action, and that action successfully brings a result.

Success is not really something you must strive to create, for you are always making it happen. What's important is defining and intending the success you do create so that it is a positive force in your world.

Many people are successful at just barely getting by. Others are successful at bringing pain and dismay into their lives.

Yet the very same skills that succeed at creating mediocrity and despair, can also be used to create rich fulfillment. What's needed is not so much a change in effort as a change in focus.

You truly deserve a great and wonderful life, and you have everything necessary to experience that life. Keep your thoughts focused on your most meaningful desires, and your actions will align with those thoughts.

You're always succeeding at something. Choose now to make it something great.
-- Ralph Marston
