“Dieters are often advised to stop drinking alcohol to avoid the extra calories lurking in a glass of wine or a favorite cocktail. But new research suggests that women who regularly consume moderate amounts of alcohol are less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers and are at lower risk for obesity.”
This song gets on that ” risky business tangerine dream level” . All about the build up. I listened to this song this past monday after sprinting back across the bridge with Saes and the Monday crew. My body told me that my quad wanted to cramp up, this song told me ” Uh uh.”
Nothing better than some good drum work, and who knows that better than the members of Genesis. This was playing at a bar we all hit up after the run. Jenny and I gave it an inspired fist pump while waiting for our food next door. Def an internationally runnable jam.
This set of photographs by Londoner Fergus McDonald perfectly describes what life has been like in the capital of our grey little island this winter. For me they fully evoke the grime and thrill that makes London the place it is: old-man pubs, sodden streets, political unrest, or just a blurred glimpse in the crowd. These scenes will be familiar to any young Londoner, an insider’s view for sure, but by isolating these moments, McDonald’s photographs force you to stop and re-appreciate ones daily experiences, both the good and the bad. We gave Fergus a shout to see what was behind the series, and this is what he had to say:
“I used to only take photos based on strict guidelines and projects I set myself. I found this way of working generally successful as my work was inadvertently more structured and focused. Over the last year or so, inspired by photographers such as William Egglestone and Wolfgang Tillmans, I have tried to work in a more instinctive way, photographing what I am instantly visually stimulated by. This has produced some interesting results and I have found that the perfect platform for these images is my blog.”
Polo Ralph Lauren sets us up for the Wimbledon tennis tournament with this great campaign video featuring Pierre-André Athané’s “Seine Et Oise” for the soundtrack. With its classic styling and timeless wardrobe, the video has a nice vintage feel going on, and of course, beautiful people who probably really don’t play tennis.
In the continuity of Staples Art, here this artist Julia Chiang, a Brooklyn artist who created works with a variety of random objects. This exhibit, created from the classic Ring Pop ( I had one yesterday ) presented to Miami Art Basel.
Close to 200 showed up with bikes in tote for the ride from Affinity over the Williamsburg bridge to the start of the race. A few botched checkpoints and some manifest mistakes made for some almost instantaneous controversy at the finish. A $500 sprint off at the end between J.T., Filipe, Hugo, and Crihs to smooth over some of the controversy led to J.T. taking the dough. For a full recap go here. >via
