New Sport Invented: Loopyball a.k.a Bubble Soccer or Bubble Football
"Bubble soccer or football if you're from Europe has spread to Italy, providing us with this totally amusing clip of guys smashing into each other, bouncing around and rolling across the floor in inflatable, Zorb-like balls. As much as we love watching these big guys chase after balls, it's even more fun watching them bounce around upside down with their legs stuck in the air. Oh, the indignityForget faking an injury while you're ensconced in this contraption, but is anyone keeping score? We're laughing too hard to keep tally."

Vitamins Lack Clear Health Benefits, May Pose Risks - Forbes
If you needed more evidence that many may be wasting their money on vitamin supplementation:
Vitamins Lack Clear Health Benefits, May Pose Risks - Forbes:
"“Although available evidence does not rule out small benefits or harms or large benefits or harms in a small subgroup of the population,” the writers conclude, “we believe that the case is closed — supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful. These vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.”"

"How, then, to negotiate the two different, but equally vital forms of transport? Seoul-based designer Lee Myungsu thinks he has an answer. A car owner who often commutes to his studio by bike, Myungsu devised a backpack that amplifies a cyclist’s visibility on the road. The SEIL bag (pronounced Zail) lights its wearer up and indicates to surrounding traffic in which direction the cyclist is headed--no dweeby, though very important, hand signals required."

Where to Buy the Best Socks Online, Part 1: Power Socks | Modern Fellows
A note on sock length and dress attire
"Some traditionalists will scoff at the notion of wearing mid-calf socks with a suit. PutThisOn, for example, instructs that, “with anything like a coat and tie, there should be no other option but over-the-calf.”
It’s a hard rule to follow, as many manufacturers have focused on designing mid-calf or shorter length options, including dress socks, to accommodate men’s preferences as well as for cost reasons. (Longer socks can add 25% or more to their cost of manufacturing.)
A better general rule is that socks should not be so short as to permit skin to show between your sock and trouser when sitting. High-quality mid-calf socks — including all of the mid-calf options reviewed in this article — stay put and ought to be appropriate for most men to pair with suits."
Parisian Gentleman – The Well Dressed Rebel — Seven Things to Look for in a Suit
 |
| Suit Yourself (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Advanced style may not come easy, but you know it when you see it. From Rose Callahan’s upcoming book, “I Am Dandy, the Return of the Elegant Gentleman.”
Excerpt:
"The natural question at this point is: where does one go next– after the mechanics of suiting are understood and the spirit of dressing well is globally known?
Taking a cue from Rose Callahan’s book “I am Dandy”, when we come into our element in terms of dressing well, it is then that we can scale the wall of freedom and unique self-expression…forgetting about boundaries and instead shifting towards the sphere of intuitive dressing. Yes, ” First learn the rules, and then break them” could not be more freely applied at this point of progression.
But as we tap into our creativity in the way that we dress, we notice that there are two types of creativity:
* creativity for the sake of creativity, or
* creativity that expresses an inner emotion.
Creativity for the sake of creativity can become a sad affair when dressing becomes more of a dog-and-pony show, rather than an act of sincere expression.
Parisian Gentleman – Hugo’s Recommendations Part 1: Shirts
 |
| English: TM Lewin in Fish Street Hill (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
"Competitive online sales policies (Lewin almost always has promotions, e.g. 4 shirts for 100 £) are serious assets to attract those who refuse to fall between the hands of low-quality makers. Nevertheless, I fell that only one label is acceptable in this price range, despite faltering quality due to massive production outsourcing (“English shirt makers since 1850” no means anything: all these products are made very far from the City).
MY RECOMMENDATION: TM LEWIN (30£ regular priced shirt)
- Very wide choice of colour and fabric
- Collars range from full Windsor to Duke of York and Prince of Wales (one for everyone) with removable collar stays
- Impeccable and swift delivery service
- Constant promotions (now: 19£ each!!)
TM LEWIN is a good compromise if you do not want to invest too much in a shirt. Despite strictly acceptable quality and debatable durability (the shirt won’t be as crisp after ten washes or so), prices defeat all competition.
NO: PINK and CHARLES TYRWHITT
Price and selection offered by these famous British shirt makers compare to TM LEWIN, but I think their cuts are MUCH too wide (almost parachutes at CT) and therefore not a good choice for an elegant gent mindful of shirt fit. Other than that, these labels remain respectable.
NOT TRIED: Hawes and Curtis (same price range)
Reaches the Sky: Men's Dress Shirt: Charles Tyrwhitt Extra Slim Fit Review

"Sizing: Both Brooks Brothers and Charles Tyrwhitt has a slim fit as well as a extra slim fit line. H wears BB Slim Fit. He has one CT slim fit which is too baggy and he says he is constantly tucking his shirt in. I couldn't really compare the two websites' measurements as CT has a 'to fit' chest measurements and BB doesn't even have waist measurements for their slim fits on the sizing guide (as far as I can search on their websites. There are other sites that compare for you if you google them). So I did the old 'lay it flat and put it on top of each other' comparison.
Waist Comparison: Charles Tyrwhitt Slim Fit > Charles Tyrwhitt Extra Slim fit >= Brooks Brothers Slim Fit.
Chest Comparison: Charles Tyrwhitt Slim Fit > Brooks Brothers Slim Fit > Charles Tyrwhitt Extra Slim fit
(This is for 14 1/2" collar size shirts)"

San Francisco - Snapshot Trip Review (May 2012)
 |
| English: Aerial view of Fisherman's Wharf on San Francisco Bay on the north side of San Francisco, California, USA. View is to the southeast. Coordinates: 37°48′35.83″N 122°25′11.27″W / °S °W / ; latd>90 (dms format) in latd latm lats longm longs (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
- The Westin Hotel in Union Square has a glass elevator, and if you successfully infiltrate pass the concierge desk without being asked anything, jump in and go all the way up- the views are spectacular (and free)!
- Restaurants we went to:
- a small, Cassis-like restaurant serving local food called Fish & Farm (in the Mark Twain hotel). Great food and very intimate- just be careful about roaming around the area at night as it's close to the Tenderloin district, which gets sketchy, especially at night.
- The restaurant and highlight of Fisherman's Wharf Otherwise a tourist trap) was called Scoma's, which is locally owned and the owner has not sold out to big chain restaurants.
- In China Town: R&G Lounge (reservations recommended)
- The Golden Gate bridge was something to behold - the walk there from Fisherman's Wharf through Chrissy fields was a highlight, passing many dog walkers - the dogs we the happiest of all creatures!
- Dress and bring many layers! During our 5 days the pattern was the same: fog in the morning and very cool, lifted in the early afternoon with sunny periods warming up, with fog returning by early evening and cooling off again. I found I was constantly adding and removing layers of clothes in what seemed to be pockets of warm and cool air.
- We walked to Lombard street (one of the most crookedest streets in the world) after walking up Telegraph Hill and visiting Coit Tower.
- The evening tour of Alcatraz was a good choice in terms of when to do it.
- We stayed at Parc 55 Hotel in Union Square which was comfortable and a great location.
