I AM GLAD IT'S FRIDAY AGAIN

I sure am glad that it is Friday again, it has been a very long week for some reason and I am ready for the work week to end. I am going to see East Carolina play in the CUSA Championship game tomorrow against Houston and wouldn't you know it is suppose to rain, there is a 90% chance of rain in Greenville, NC and to top it off it is going to be cold as well. The Colonial Heights girls basketball team picked up another win on the road last night beating Lee-Davis 50-37, they will play another game in that tournament either tonight or tomorrow night. The CH boys basketball team will be back in action tonight against Pope John Paul in the Dale Travis Invitational at Trinity. Fellow blogger Keith will be back at home tonight after another tough week of government work in Fayetteville, NC. MICKEY

Nuts can literally help you live longer.
Several large studies have linked nuts to lower heart disease risk and longer life. In the landmark Nurses' Health Study, for instance, women who ate the most nuts (about 5 ounces per week) had half the risk of heart attack as those who rarely ate them. Although the power source in nuts is unclear, researchers suggest that their unsaturated fats, magnesium, copper, folic acid, protein, potassium, fiber, and vitamin E may all play a part.

Don’t overdo it: Punch up the texture and flavor of raw nuts by roasting them lightly in your toaster oven. “I add nuts to green salads and cooked vegetables, and I toss about 1/2 cup into homemade bread,” says Susan Adams, RD, a nutritionist at Washington State University. They're also great in hot or cold cereal, yogurt, pudding, and pasta dishes. For a snack, try a small handful of almonds and dried dates. For the ultimate dessert, have two or three chocolate-covered macadamias. Ah... heaven.
