Acquire and use a rocking chair, slowly build up your core muscles, use a skinny wallet or remove it from your back pocket when you sit down, and if you walk a lot of hard surfaces (concrete, tile or carpet on concrete like most offices), wear comfortable shoes, and make sure you don't let the...

I've had good luck following the purchasing guidelines on www.consumersearch.com for all sorts of stuff, including an elliptical. I have a NordicTrack Elite 1300 and have used it 3-4 times a week for about 8 years. Now it has broken twice, but I was able to repair with parts from...

According to Thomas Lake on Twitter, Gray Smith is retiring from Sports Illustrated. More BASW appearances than anyone. Four NMA's (I think). A giant of the writing craft.

As a young writer, read far more outside the genre of either sports or journalism than inside.

If you freelance on any basis, and regularly make more than a few thousand dollars, either pay quarterly or make sure you set aside about 30% for taxes. This explains it, and don't forget to take advantage of business deductions, and that if you keep a home office, even more deductions become...

I'd just driven out the day before with a friend of mine who was moving out there - we had a driveway truck. Twenty hours to the minute we were on the bridge that collapsed. Earlier that day - it was still and hot - an old man sitting on a stoop looked to us and said "Earthquake weather."...

I hear djm825's complaint from writers nearly every day, and it's true.
