• Fighting Tigers, Generals go for Region 19 title

  21-11-2019 06:00 via Portsmouth Daily Times
  
  IRONTON — The Ironton Fighting Tigers own 11 football regional championships.
  However, they have experienced a decade-long drought since they played for their last — and exactly two decades worth since they even last won one.
  How fitting then, with rain and possibly even some snow predicted with a few weather forecasts for Saturday night, that Ironton can end that long, dry, nagging regional title spell — against a polar opposite squad whose only regional championship was a dec

• Is Your Faith impossible?

  21-11-2019 05:59 via Portsmouth Daily Times
  
  The cornerstone of the Christian religion is centered around faith.
  We believe Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins and rose three days later to defeat death and the grave.
  Simple. Right?
  That’s our faith.
  Webster says it’s “complete trust or confidence in someone or something.”
  It’s easy to possess this quality when life is without problems.
  We also take it for granted each day.
  We drive our vehicles over a bridge and

• Humor for holiday stress

  21-11-2019 05:59 via Portsmouth Daily Times
  
  Instead of a frazzled freak-out around the hectic holidays, what about trying laughter. Not hysterical ‘lose your mind’ chortling or ‘milk coming out of your nose’ snickering. But, belly-laughing glee with giggles and guffaws.
  Funny
  A hilarious holiday tune—sing along with me. Grandma got run over by a reindeer/ Walking home from our house Christmas Eve/ You can say there’s no such thing as Santa/ But for me and grandpa we believe. My mamaw Hila bristled at th

• Sleep helps beat obesity in Korean adolescents

  19-11-2019 05:59 via Portsmouth Daily Times
  
  Obesity and sleep deprivation seem to happen together. But remember the old adage – correlation is not causation. That primrose path to wrong was perhaps most recently demonstrated by all the brouhaha about vitamin D and health effects. Stop checking and treating vitamin D levels. (1) And even if it was causal in this case it could be that obesity causes poor sleep rather than the other way around.
  This issue would be hard to study in humans since torturing humans is not allowed. But a nat

  Pleeease! No canned cranberry sauce on the Thanksgiving dinner table. Ugh. The jiggly, jellied stuff is yucky. It’s a blob of gross. In fact, around 50 percent of Americans say canned cranberry sauce is ‘disgusting’ according to an online survey conducted by The Harris Poll.
