[A DAD'S POINT-OF-VIEW] My Son the Rock Star: Teens Dealing With their Angst»
By Bruce Sallan • Be the first to comment. »

Teen energy, angst, and anger manifest itself in so many ways. Every day it seems that we read about some teen that has done something unusually self-destructive, and occasionally destructive to others. Columbine was an extreme example of this.  Many so-called “normal” teens tend to use or abuse the ol’ standbys of drinking, drugs, and [...]


[INTO THE DAWN] Home Stretch»
By Andy Falk • Be the first to comment. »

Skylee’s last regular season meet went exceptionally well. It was her best meet of the year! All year our mantra has been, “It’s not how you start the year, but how you end it,” and Skylee has continued to get better every week. She got first places in both the breaststroke and IM. She beat [...]


A Reminder from My Wife»
By Joey Watkins • 4 Comments »

How’s your summer going?  My wife and I were laying in bed last night and she reminded me only a few more weeks are left until the kids start school back up. That got me thinking… Now would be a good time for us dads to consider how much time we’ve spent with our children [...]


The Birth Day: Before the Vasectomy Comes Birth»
By Heidi Ahrens • Be the first to comment. »

Not that long ago, one of The Father Life writers encouraged all of you to go for the Vasectomy when your wives request it.  Before the vasectomy comes birth.  Many people write about birth as this horrible experience women go through.  There are also many books that help women get centered and ready for birth. [...]


[INTO THE DAWN] Excellence Odyssey»
By Andy Falk • Be the first to comment. »

“Do you know how big the trophy is for being the fastest in the County at the Championships?’   I asked my eight year old daughter Skylee.  She looked at me and shook her head, her expression consternate. ‘Well I don’t know either but we’re going to find out because you’re going to win it!” I [...]


Fun Facts About Vitamin C»
By Laurie Beebe • Be the first to comment. »

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is one of the essential vitamins for good health.  The actual function of the vitamin is to maintain strong connective tissue.  If a person has an inadequate amount over a long period of time they will suffer the deficiency disease called scurvy.  Symptoms are seen in the body [...]


[SPORTS] The Week In Sports #24: Bienvenido a Miami»
By Chris Osburn • Be the first to comment. »

LeBron James was still “undecided” on his choice of teams the last time I wrote this article. That night, Wednesday the 7th, James appeared on the most ridiculous, annoying, boring special of all time that aired live on ESPN.  Just like everyone (other than the citizens of Cleveland, Ohio) though, he picked Miami to complete [...]


[MLB] 2010 Mid-Season Rundown»
By Chris Osburn • Be the first to comment. »

American League Rundown: The three best teams in baseball play in the AL East. Boston has the third best record in the AL, yet they sit in third place in their division. The Sox are 5.5 games behind division leading NY and 3.5 behind Tampa Bay. The ridiculous amount of injuries seems to finally be [...]


The Top 5 American Cars of All Time»
By Driving Today • Be the first to comment. »

So how do you go about picking the top 5 American cars of all time? Do you choose the great classics, like the Marmon and Cadillac V-16s? Do you go back into the antique era for worthy but largely forgotten models like the Curved Dash Oldsmobile and Mercer Raceabout? Do you embrace muscle cars like [...]

[BOOK REVIEW] The Humor of Herding Kids (of the Four-Legged Variety)»
By Cate Burke • Be the first to comment. »

After reading only the title of Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s new book, The Bucolic Plague: From Drag Queen to Goat Farmer, I knew I had to read it. While the only thing I know about goat farming I learned on a tour of the Surfing Goat Dairy (www.surfinggoatdairy.com) on Maui, I was intrigued. How does one go [...]


[REVIEW] Aperion Home Audio Link: One Link to Rule Them All»
By Gabe Stampone • Be the first to comment. »

Sometimes you come across something that is so well thought out, so well designed and so gosh darn idiot proof that you suddenly see a genuine need for something. Gentlemen look no further than the Aperion Home Audio Link. The Home Audio Link (HAL for short) is a wireless solution that gets all your audio [...]


Fiat: A Currency and a Car»
By Don Harrold • Be the first to comment. »

Fiat Currency. Global Reserve Currency. Gold Standard. You might have heard terms like this, but what exactly do they mean? How is what’s happening in Greece related to what’s happening here and why should I care? We’re going to use some ink in the next several articles laying out the basics of the ongoing financial [...]


[A DOSE OF COMMON SENSE] We Might Have to Drill, Baby»
By Ben Murphy • Be the first to comment. »

I recently saw a T-Shirt sporting the British Petroleum (BP) Logo along with the slogan ‘Bringing Oil To American Shores.’ It’s easy to poke fun at BP lately. After all, they’ve had one hell of a second quarter. Money just can’t buy that kind of publicity. Throughout this whole fiasco, it’s become pretty clear that [...]


[WORK-LIFE BALANCE] The Growing Case for Men»
By Cameron Phillips • 7 Comments »

Quickly! Who do you think has faster rising numbers of work life balance dissatisfaction—men or women? Well, if the research from Jeremy Adam Smith’s terrific book, The Daddy Shift, can be trusted (and I know it can), men represent the fastest growing demographic of those who feel work life and family life are out of [...]


[A DOSE OF COMMON SENSE] Inherent Instability»
By Ben Murphy • 2 Comments »

There was a big drop on Wall Street last week. You probably heard about it. It seems that our stock market, the Dow, the heart and soul of our nation’s market economy, dropped nearly 1,000 points in one afternoon before rebounding a bit before the close of the day. This sort of thing doesn’t happen [...]


Text Messaging and Your Privacy»
By John Sileo • Be the first to comment. »

Just as you wouldn’t want to give any personal identity information to someone via email, you want to use the same practices via text message. There is a new wave of fraud that tries to trick you with text messages appearing to be from your bank. SMiShing uses cell phone text messages to deliver the [...]


Six Ways to Avoid Buying a “Lemon”»
By Norman Taylor • Be the first to comment. »

Buying a car is a big investment – whether it’s brand new or a used car. It can also be an exciting time and thinking about possible defects in the vehicle may not be top of the list of features you’re looking for.   However, the recent recalls have opened our eyes to the possibility that [...]
