WELL WE GOT SOME SNOW LAST NIGHT

Well we did get some snow here in Colonial Heights but not no where as much as they did just to our west. We got about 3 inches before it switched back over to sleet and some rain. This morning when I went out to get the paper it wasn't doing anything, it was just cold and windy. They are calling for 2-4 more inches later this morning, however looking at the radar i just don't see that happening. The Colonial Heights Invitational Basketball Tournament was cancelled due to the inclement weather and I don't know at this time whether or not it will be rescheduled or not. Down in Georgia last night Scottie went 3-0 in wrestling action, he will have at least 4 more matches today. The college football bowl schedule starts today with a couple of games, I have sent out who everybody picked in bowls and like I said it's Keith's contest to win. MICKEY

The Cabbage Soup Diet
The title is self explanatory: the dieter's survival is based on a constant intake of cabbage soup. Even on the Cabbage Soup Diet website, red flags are evident. The first being the opening words on the homepage, warning that the diet should not be used long term and that followers of the Cabbage Soup Diet have felt light-headed, weak, and have suffered a lack in concentration. The second red flag appears in the suggested seven day menu. Each day, the dieter is instructed to "stuff themselves" with a different food group. How about a little "moderation?" The third warning lies in the "Health" section of the website, warning the dieter that the diet lacks "complex carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals," all of which are necessary for your body to function properly.

Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us.
But it has a way of favoring the intelligent
and showing its back to the stupid.”
~ John Dewey

Take a break. Get up, walk, and stretch your legs every hour or so if you can. If you have to remain seated, do ankle rolls, and alternately point and flex your toes 10 times every half hour.
