And skin has many amazing properties: Gain 200 pounds and the number of square yards of your skin may nearly double. Your skin regulates body temperature, changes color to prevent radiation damage, oils itself, feels, grows hair and emits all kinds of sexy pheromones...
...team blocks en route to a 3-1 (30-28, 30-24, 26-30, 30-18) win over the Bears (2-11, 0-3 Ivy). Trimble dominated the net with 19 kills and recorded a .372 hitting percentage despite playing through the pain of a partially torn knee tendon.“She’s a trooper,” Weiss said. “She’s kind of learned to live with it.”Meanwhile, Mahon recorded 18 kills and 19 digs, as the squad picked up its first league victory...
