PACKERS LOSE ON THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday on the last play of the game 37-36. The Packers trailed 24-14 entering the 4th quarter and lead the Steelers 36-30 before losing the game on the final play. The Packers will be back at home next Sunday against the Seahawks. The Washington Redskins will face the New York Giants tonight on Monday Night Football and a Redskins win help the Packers out a lot in the playoff race. It is a very cold 21 degrees here in Colonial Heights this morning and there is a chance we could have white Christmas this year if the snow stays around till Friday, however it looks like a pretty good rain storm is going to hit the area on Friday washing whats left of the snow away. Well most of the schools here in our area are close already for the Christmas break, its a good thing because the CH road crews cleared the roads pretty good and school would probably be open if they were not already on break. I hope everybody has finished there Christmas shopping because time is running out. MICKEY

The Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
Once used as a cure for Scurvy amongst American soldiers, apple cider vinegar is now used as an appetite suppressant amongst dieters. According to various evaluations of the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet, the diet toes that fine line between a dangerous and regular diet. The most dangerous part is the apple cider vinegar itself, which when taken in the recommended doses of 3 tbsp gets dangerously close to the point of damaging your stomach due to its high acidity. However, the diet's regimen includes eating in moderation and daily exercise, which is most likely why people lose weight on this diet, not the apple cider vinegar. It is still unclear as to whether or not the vinegar actually assists you in losing weight at all, apart from making you so sick that you don't want to eat anything at all.

PORK HELPS FIGHT THE FLU
Pork contains high levels of zinc and selenium. Both of these compounds help keep your immune system strong. Pork is also one of the best sources of B vitamins and contains only a little more total fat than beef. So be sure to include lots of pork entrees in your menu planning.
