VCU FALLS TO NORHEASTERN

The Rowdy Rams must not have been rowdy enough last night as the Northeastern Huskies upset the VCU Rams last 62-57, with the loss the Rams are now 1-2 in the CAA. The Virginia Cavaliers will be back in action tonight at home against that basketball power Texas-Pan American, the Broncs are just 1-14 on the season. The Colonial Heights boys and girls basketball teams return to action tonight against Meadowbrook, the boys will be at home while the girls team will be at Meadowbrook. The cold weather here in CH looks like it is going to continue on through at least next Tuesday with the warmest day being on Thursday when it is suppose to be 42 and there is a slight chance of light snow on Thursday night. I am ready for his cold air to go away from here, I am already sick of it. MICKEY

Immerse your meat.
Put steaks and chops in a zip-top bag and then immerse the bag in tepid water for 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. Raising meat's internal temperature makes it easier to cook evenly all the way through.

Salvage wilted produce.
Freshen up limp vegetables: Drop your aging produce into ice water before cooking. Plants wilt due to water loss; ice water penetrates their cells to restore crispness.

Drink several cups of green tea in addition to plenty of water. It'll help flush out toxins and other baddies.

Hard Work: Hard work is the best investment a man can make.
