When most people quit their jobs and sell off all their possessions, it's to spend their lives traveling the world, doing good works, or pursuing their lifelong dream. Steve Feltham did the latter. Steve bought a van and has lived alone on the shores of Loch Ness for 25 years, patiently waiting for some sign of the Loch's famous monster.
After eight years in the White House, Barack Obama is wasting no time taking advantage of retirement. The 44th president was't allowed to partake in water sports of any kind during his two terms, so his post-presidency order was head to the British Virgin Islands. After two days of practice on Richard Branson's private island, he took on the Virgin founder in a kitesurfing contest, and obviously dominated.
Richard Arvin Overton is 110 years old, still walks, still drives, and enjoys a cigar — but never inhales. He pays cash for whatever he buys, lives in the house he built in 1945, and hasn't bought a new car since the 70s. Of a morning, Richard has about four cups of coffee and maybe a sip of whiskey. He calls it the Overton diet. Richard is the oldest living veteran in America, having served in the South Pacific from 1942 to 1945. Filmmakers Matt Copper and Rocky Conly sat down with Richard to talk about longevity, what keeps him going, and his military service.
Sandalwood plays a key role in many men's fragrances. Panache Santal from Oxford Hill honors this tradition. While the top note is floral, with scents of lilies and rose, the base is a masculine mix of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver. With a heart of papyrus, cardamom, and amber, this is a versatile scent that goes on easily with roll-on application and lasts for hours.

Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.

Whitewater kayaking can be a dangerous sport in the best of conditions — now think about trying it in the dark. Pro kayaker Brendan Wells and his brother Todd plunged down the White Salmon River in Washington state, capturing the night run with LED lights attached to their kayaks, paddles, and gear, bringing an explosion of color to the dark water.
John Shocklee has built a life around carving his own path in powder. The 51-year-old ski guide lives his life free of material possessions and money — no rent, no phone, no debt. With a love for the outdoors and 90s hip-hop, John has found his own fountain of youth.
Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

The result is a brew that does much more than just provide a perk, helping focus and mood throughout the day.

Steve Hackman isn't your average composer. Instead of writing his own original works, he's taking classic symphonies and remixing them with modern songs. For his latest arrangement, the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra performs his symphonic mashup of German composer Johannes Brahms' 1st Symphony and Radiohead's third album OK Computer.
Directors often have their production crew watch films that portray a similar experience to one they're looking to capture in their own work. For Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, that film was Michael Mann's 1995 crime thriller Heat. The latest video essay from Glass Distortion puts scenes from Mann's Heat and Nolan's The Dark Knight side-by-side to show the influences on — and references to — Mann's film.
