I am probably one of the slight few who have never walked the Vegas strip. I've never dined in their famous restaurants, tossed dice in their big-time casinos, or hung out with buddies in a Vegas night club. Please tell me I'm not alone here. However, I am making plans to take a road trip to Sin City. As soon as my wife is up for the trip, we're Nevada bound. At this point I've heard so many Las Vegas adventure stories that I'm just at the point of annoyance. I've got to get down to this city...

Most don’t go into a bartending job thinking they have found a career to last the rest of their life, but if you find the right place to work, you can make some very decent money while doing it.

Among front-end categories in the drug store channel, beer finishes somewhere ahead of stomach aids, but slightly below pain relievers in terms of total dollar volume. While at times the three are directly related, the fact remains that drug stores capture a significant share of the total retail market for stomach aids and pain relievers, but rank far below other channels when it comes to sales of beer.

The Wall Street Journal has performed a great service for beer drinkers. Veteran imbibers know that the fresher the beer is, the better it tastes. The problem is, how can you tell how fresh the beer is before you buy it? Now comes the Journal with an explanation of the code on the label that reveals the date by which the beer should be consumed. In the cases of three of my favorites--Miller Genuine Draft, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Pilsner Urquell--the codes are easy to understand: The month, day,...

Use it or lose it!" For decades, health and fitness experts have chanted this mantra to promote fitness and good health. And it is sound advice, especially as we age. Unfortunately, the idea of walking, bicycling, kicking, stepping, running, "feeling the burn," or wriggling into a leotard becomes less attractive with each passing birthday.
