Keeping in shape is a struggle. Life gets in the way, and suddenly, that gym visit we planned gets pushed aside for work, or a date, or even happy hour. Discipline is tough. The newly launched Nike+ Fuelband SE and Nike+ Fuelband App helps keep you on track with your daily physical activity.

The newest iteration of the Nike+ Fuelband looks so cool, it’s like something that came out of The Matrix. Not only that, but it’s water resistant, so you don’t have to worry about moisture getting in your way. If you’re not sure if you should purchase one here are a few reasons why:

Bluetooth Technology
This special device is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 technology, so that it’s always linked with the Nike+ Fuelband App.

Sessions
This new feature allows you to track a particular activity during your day. Your morning walk to work can be considered a session, and your evening spin class can be another. That way, you can track your progress each time you participate in a different exercise.

Win the Hour
Win the Hour helps you keep your progress in check. Are you hitting your targets? Wonderful. Win the Hour pushes you harder. Not hitting your targets? Win the Hour will help you get there by letting you know if you miss them by keeping you motivated through reminders.

Fuel Rate
This helps you know just how much Nike Fuel you’re earning so you can see the intensity of your movement.

Groups
Need to get by with a little help from your friends? Groups allows you to get with a group of exercise partners so that you can set a goal and stay motivated together.

Milestones
Need a reward? This feature will let you know when you’ve achieved your best by giving you a virtual pat on the back.

In a small, Midwestern town, a killer is picking off high school students. In a sadistic twist, the maniacal murderer wears a mask resembling the victims' faces.

Inside Magnolia Record Club, a Bespoke Subscription Service Curated by Artists
A man reading a vinyl album inside Magnolia store

 

From the outside, monthly vinyl subscription service Magnolia Record Club (MRC) doesn’t look like much. In an old industrial neighborhood that Nashville forgot, the window of its street-level door tells you no, go around, down, to where the back corner of the building and parking lot meet. It’s here, in a low-ceilinged room of whitewashed cinderblock, that I meet Paul Roper.
Roper, 42, is the president of Dualtone Records, which purchased MRC from its founder, musician Drew Holcomb, in 2018. Clean-shaven, with horn-rim glasses under a ball cap and a short-sleeve button-up over jeans, Roper leads us through a room honeycombed with large rolling postal bins empty and waiting for the next release to ship. The second, inner room is homier: Two seating areas with couches, throw pillows, coffee tables, and, of course, turntables. It’s here where MRC invites artists who, in addition to partnering with the company to produce special-edition pressings in a kaleidoscope of colors, may even sign a few. Dolly Parton (pink with red swirls), Wilco (ivory white), Willie Nelson (cerulean blue), Joseph (aqua wave), Brandi Carlile (ruby red), the War on Drugs (purple), Manchester Orchestra (aqua smoke); there’s seemingly not a band or artist played on AAA radio that hasn’t negotiated an MRC rainbow release.

Inside the Life of Baseball’s Most Fascinating Man
daniel norris mlb feature x default

Daniel Norris, starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, is white-knuckling the passenger-side shotgun door as Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard drives way too fast down the Hollister Ranch beach. “He’s just crushing rocks in his Subaru, playing cat-and-mouse with the tide,” Norris, over the phone during the Tigers' three-game series in Cleveland, tells The Manual.

Never mind how this motley crew of Chouinard, Norris, and Norris's friend arrived at this remote stretch of Southern California waterfront. Hollister Ranch is the unicorn of surf spots, a 14,000-acre privately owned piece of coast that has remained largely untouched by development since primitive man walked across the Bering Strait. Public access is restricted, and as a working cattle ranch, more cows than people see it every year. To surf its storied, uncrowded waves, you have to know someone who knows someone, and with Chouinard, Norris had hit the jackpot.
