We all love cheese, right?  I haven't met many who don't enjoy a melt in your mouth parm or a creamy mouthful of brie with a warm and crusty baguette.  This is for all of you.

Potsherds (broken pieces of pottery) found in archaeological digs in Northern Europe have revealed evidence of cheese making in that part of the world as early as 6000BC.  As a naturally preserved source of protein and fat, various cheeses have nourished much of Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the world for many thousands of years.  This is something that cannot be ignored when questioning whether or not cheese is "good for you" or if it fits into your dietary regimine.  Keep an open mind.

From NextCare:

Two hundred Prince William County children who can benefit most from “Free and Reduced Services” will receive free health physicals from NextCare Urgent Care so they can enter school and participate in sports when school begins in August.

The donation came about when Victory Christian Ministries International of Woodbridge, on behalf of Pastors Tony and Cynthia Brazelton, contacted Donald Shepherd, the clinic manager for the NextCare center on Milstead Way in Woodbridge, to inquire about physicals for some local children. Together with other non-profit organizations and social service agencies, 200 children were identified to receive these vouchers.
