It is nothing to be ashamed of, but many older Americans are too embarrassed to don a pair of reading glasses to read the menu. The awkward alternative is not bother with the menu and order from the hip — which necessitates countless rounds between the ashamed party and the waiter. The simple facts are as we age, so too do our eyes. Like gray hair or wrinkles, presbyopia is inevitable.

Disney is renown for creating appealing — nigh addictive — shows that entrance millions of young adults and teenagers around the world. The latest craze surrounds the live-action character of Hannah Montana. The television show alone has been enjoyed across the globe, from Asia to Australia to South America to Europe. The sky is the limit for this inspired, life-affirming venture in entertainment.

The great elixir, alcohol, has come to be many things to many people. For most it is a beverage meant to dull the edges of a hard day or make festive a gathering of friends and family. Alcohol has been banned, celebrated, and reviled, but it has also been a key component in scientific circles. Also known as absolute ethyl alcohol or ethanol, alcohol is a colorless, flammable liquid often used for sanitizing or cleaning. It has also been used extensively as an effective transporter of odors ad scents and has been featured in perfumes, colognes, paints, hand creams, inks, and even explosives.

The argument is leadership is seldom an innate skill. To be sure there is a case for personal charisma or even the ability to inspire those around you, but true leadership, the kind that rallies nations, is a refined, learned skill. Military intuitions, like West Point, have long believed that leaders are trained, not born. Leading men and women into battle or into the boardroom, the skills are essentially the same. It is no coincidence: a disproportionate amount of military-trained individuals find themselves in leadership positions in the corporate sphere.

Realizing I may sound like a total New Age tool, I feel I have to argue for something called zone therapy, otherwise known as reflexology. I know what youre thinking: James, you’ve done it again. Yes, perhaps I have. But so what? This ancient therapy does not require the use of any special crystals or ethereal pan flute music. All that’s required is a semi-open mind and your bare hands and feet.

A T by any other name would smell just as sweet, dont you think? Am I obsessed, to a fault, with comfort? Have I gone off the deep end with my single-minded, heated obsession with the glorious, humble T-shirt? Perhaps. I have a problem, I can admit that. But if you grew up watching James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Monty Clift slouching about, yelling in the rain, and looking disinterested, youd have a fixed obsession with this piece of clothing.

Hearken back with me, my readers, to Ancient China. No, this has nothing to do with Kung Fu Panda, though it must be said as far as Panda kung fu movies go, it was pretty hilarious. Id prefer, instead, to take you back 3,000 year to the first uses of an ancient Chinese art known as Feng Shui.

The dull hum of florescent lights, the buzz of a computer, the squeak of an office chair, and the smell of burnt coffee. Welcome to work. For a concept that is less than 150 years old, the office has managed to become perhaps the single best qualifier for what we consider white-collar employment. Though a staunch capitalist would claim the office started with the ancient Roman officium most archaeological evidence suggests these ancient offices were a dignitary\’s administrative staff and collaborators and wee often mobile.

With the proliferation of beautiful towns in Southern California, its easy to see why so many people pulled up stakes and went west. It is easy to see why so many settlers and immigrants eventually settled down in sunny Pasadena. The city as we know it today was born, in essence, when Benjamin Wilson became the first Anglo settler in the region in 1841. Wilson would later become the mayor of Los Angeles and a California senator. But is Wilson was the seed, Dr. Daniel M. Berry as the water that would grow this City of Roses.

Imagine, if you will, for a moment, that I a hypnotist. Now, imagine if you will, for a moment, that I command the spotlight to shine upon that piece of fine jewelry on your wrist (or ear, or wherever). Now, allow yourself to be receptive to my every command. Receptive, yet? Good. Now, let us pay a special kind of homage to the men and women who were responsible for producing that fine piece of jewelry. Once youve embarked on this reverie, you will find your thoughts drifting back, in time to the tapping of a jewelers hammer, to the misty past of ancient history. Despite the radical technology that makes modern jewelry possible, most aficionados would agree, there is something breathtaking about the fact your piece of jewelry has passed through the ages, from one set of hands (or ears) to the next.
