This week I had the chance to catch up on some much needed personal maintenance, including a visit to the dentist. Like most people, I have usually gone to the dentist that my wife or parents have gone too, without much research into the doctor, office,

What a bummer that someone like Zinedine Zidane went out on a bad note. I prefer not to think of him as a bad guy, as much as having a bad day. He has had a career worthy of Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Beckham or Ronadinho and deserves his head up on the
