The VCU Rams blew a 15 point lead to George Mason and fell to the George Mason Patriots in OT 82-77. The Rams simply just fell apart in the 2nd half and once big MO got on George Mason's side there was no stopping the Patriots. The Washington Capitals will go for there 15th straight win tonight in Montreal against the Canadians, right now the Caps are the best team in the NHL. The Colonial Heights girls basketball team fell to Petersburg at home last night 58-55 in OT, the Colonial Height boys team fell at Petersburg last night as well. Tonight the CH girls will be at home against Meadowbrook while the CH boys team travels to Meadowbrook. It's going to be very windy this afternoon so try to keep your hat on, hopefully the wind will help dry out the ground some. MICKEY
Swap seltzer for soda
Scientists in Boston found that drinking one or more regular or diet colas every day doubles your risk of metabolic syndrome--a cluster of conditions, including high blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, and excess fat around the waist—that increase your chance of heart disease and diabetes. Controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, preventing diabetes, and not smoking can add 6 to 9 1/2 healthy years to your life.
One culprit could be the additive that gives cola its caramel color, which upped the risk of metabolic syndrome in animal studies. Scientists also speculate that soda drinkers regularly expose their tastebuds to natural or artificial sweeteners, conditioning themselves to prefer and crave sweeter foods, which may lead to weight gain, says Vasan S. Ramachandran, MD, a professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and the study's lead researcher.
Better choices: Switch to tea if you need a caffeine hit. If it's fizz you're after, try sparkling water with a splash of juice.
“See It Through“.
When you’re up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it’s vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!
Black may be the clouds about you
And your future may seem grim,
But don’t let your nerve desert you;
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
See it through!

In my expert analysis of the the VCU team, they have only 2 players of any calibre for divisional 1 play. One of them is not very smart and does and always show up for some games. They can beat the lower clubs but as their record shows, they can't play 40 minutes for the most part with the better teams.In my opinion they have a choking tendency aginst the big boys. But then again, the only good thing about basketball season is that baseball is not far behind.
Good analysis
What about this weather. I use to like snow but I never liked wind.
