Everest Isles and Photog Matthew Clark Team Up For Ocean-Saving Prints

June 8 is World Oceans Day and, to honor the great global ocean that regulates our climate and provides us with food, transportation, and beautiful beaches, technical swim and sportswear maker Everest Isles and renowned photographer Matthew Clark teamed up to create a unique, extremely limited run of Clark’s photos printed on recycled technical sales.

Unique in their backing material, these prints are all signed and numbered by the artist and, depending on size, run between $500 to $750. While that may sound like a steep price to pay, remember, not only are you getting a high-end art piece you can hang anywhere in your pad, you’re also donating to a good cause.

All proceeds from Clark’s prints go to Ocean Global, a non-profit that uses art, music, and tech to educate people on the many issues impacting our oceans today, including pollution, ocean acidification, and rising temperatures. Not only do they educate, however, they also offer real world solutions to initiate positive change.

This extremely exclusive run of 10 prints is available until June 30, or until they’re gone–whichever comes first.

With the US withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, it’s time for Americans to step-up as individuals and do our part. For someone with a love of art and money to burn, this is a good place to start. For more info, or to order, check out the prints here.

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
