We all have those days. Clear skies, nothing on the schedule, perfect day for a hike or a run or at the very least a step outside the door to see if my weather app is telling the truth. But yeah, I think I tweaked my ankle in that pickup game on Tuesday, and that virus is still lingering a bit from last week, and who’s going to manage my Madden team if I leave this couch? It’s the playoffs! These players need guidance!

The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On

You’ve seen the slogan on everything from aprons to iPhone cases, but before it made its way into gift shops around the world, “Keep Calm and Carry On” was a forgotten lyric of history.
Just before the start of WWII, the British government commissioned the printing of propaganda-style posters intended to empower and reassure the country during the impending war. The three final designs that went into production included “Your Courage Your Cheerfulness Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory”, “Freedom Is In Peril Defend It Will All Your Might”, and finally “Keep Calm and Carry On”, though only the first two ever made their way to shop windows and railway platforms. “Keep Calm and Carry On” was never officially issued, and was kept in storage, only to be brought out in the event of an invasion. As it turns out, they were never used, seen, and were all but forgotten.
The City Behind The Fence

I grew up about thirty miles from Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It wasn’t ever that big a deal for us as kids; just down the road was the nuclear power plant. We’d make jokes about three eyed fish in Melton Hill Lake or six legged deer in Haw Ridge Park, but we never gave much thought to how Oak Ridge got started or what really went on there. The history of it wasn’t on our radar – it was just where all the scientists lived, and all us Knoxville kids assumed we’d beat them in football because, really, how could a bunch of scientists’ kids be better at sports than us? Unless there was something in the water…

The Burning House
They say the best things in life aren’t things.

They say the best things in life aren’t things.
Yet whether we like it or not, things, from the clothes we wear to the books that line our shelves, serve as totems for our egos. They anchor our transient lives, and with one whiff can remind us of a trip to the sea or of an old friend (hopefully a clean, old friend).
The Burning House, a project by friend of Huckberry Foster Huntington, captures this notion. At its core is the question “If your house was burning, what would you take with you?”. It’s a question of anthropological gravity that forces us to look at our material possessions through a lens that is practical and sentimental.
Blessed Be The Honey Hunters

High in the foothills of the Himalayas, the world’s largest honeybee makes its home on the sides of ragged cliffs. The honey they produce is intoxicating—literally. The nearby poppies that the bees pollinate during spring gives the honey a sedative quality, and is highly desired throughout Asia, and is even used in some cultures to help addicts overcome their addictions.
For hundreds of years, Nepalese have harvested the honey twice a year. The harvest starts with a prayer and sacrifice, and then a giant fire is lit at the bottom of the cliff, to smoke away the bees up above. Or at least, most of them. The honey hunters then climb up rope ladders while wielding wooden clubs to fend off the territorial remainders as they craftily cut away chunks of the honeycomb.
People Watching

People watching is one of the best ways to spend a lazy afternoon out here in San Francisco. With a hugely diverse population of people, you could spend countless hours watching, listening, and crafting stories about that awkward couple clearly on their first date, the old man wearing 3D movie glasses as sunglasses, and the woman feeding her little dog straight from her mouth.
Italian photographer Massimo Vitali sets out to capture images that encompass all of that within a single frame. Throwing away the traditional idea of a portrait, Vitali reveals the raw interplay people have with their surroundings in a microscopic view reminiscent of a Where’s Waldo book (Bonus points if you can spot the American Flag, it being nearly July 4th and all).
The Tour de France’s First -- and Most Daring -- Cheat
Think Lance Armstrong was a cheat? To win the 1904 Tour de France, Maurice Garin took the train.
Maurice Garin won the very first Tour de France in 1903. The next year, he won the Tour’s second running. After that race was decided and the dust had settled, the French cycling union stripped him of his title as a result of one of the most mysterious & ridiculous allegations of cheating in modern sports. To win the 1904 Tour de France, Maurice Garin took the train.
If soccer is a gentlemen’s game played by hooligans, professional cycling is a rolling circus performed by fully-grown Artful Dodgers. It seems like not a year can pass in this sport without its contemporary heroes being accused or convicted of unscrupulous behavior — recent memory of blood-doping scandals drags up names like Ullrich, Basso, Landis, and even Armstrong, but there are countless others throughout the past century and a half. For a sport so deeply European & dignified in its culture, cycling’s competitive side has a tendency to its moral compass askew. Was it always like this? Oh hell yes.
