  • Anabolic steroids are not the rage

    Anabolic steroids become a public issue of greater importance each year. Baseball, football, and most of our beloved professional sports have all fallen victim to some degree of illegal steroid activity.

    The continued rise of Internet advertising as well as the proliferation of dietary supplements has also given "performance enhancement" more prominence. This has created a relatively new market for steroid products. Not only athletes, but more average guys are now using or considering anabolic substances.

  • Naps: The best alternative to sleep

    One of my favorite photographs of my parents was snapped on an early summer afternoon. They had no idea that I had come out of my room only to return for my camera and capture them for all eternity in a rather endearing picture.

    They were curled up at opposite ends of the sofa napping.

    You see, both my parents always denied they napped.

    "Just resting my eyes," my father would say.

    "Oh, I wasn't asleep," my mother protested. "I just closed my eyes for a minute."

  • Gas pains: Folks getting no relief at the pump

    It seems like every day, the price of a barrel of crude oil goes up, which translates into the price per gallon of gasoline soaring to record highs.

    As of Monday, the price of a barrel of oil skied to $110 - $48 higher than March of '07.

    The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded was $3.28 a gallon and diesel $3.97 a gallon.

    The Gulf Coast averages were a bit lower - $3.17 and $3.91 respectively - but the prices Monday in Chiefland did not necessarily reflect that.
