effects it can have on the lives of our families. We continually
hear about this problem, but very rarely do we hear suggestions
for solutions to this issue (outside of the wear your sun block
or the stay-out-of-the-sun warnings). As a working mom and
taking these issues to heart, I had repeated confrontations with
my children's daycare provider over what constitutes proper sun
protection. It did not seem right to me that I was doing ...

Trophies have come to symbolize recognition of a job well done.

Often times trophies are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners and some go as far as 5th. It is nice to receive a trophy in one of those categories and if you don't receive one, to aspire to that for the next season. Fantasy football has become a national past time ...

Before Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van
Damme, there was Bruce Lee. In a way, it is a real shame that
many of today's generation of action film fans have never been
exposed to Bruce Lee because he was perhaps the greatest martial
arts action hero of all time. His martial arts on film may not
have been as fancy as say Jackie Chan's or Jet Li's but his on
screen ferocity and charisma are unequalled. Even more important
was the impact on martial arts that Bruce Lee had which ...
