With spring weather around the corner, it’s a great time to find some great hiking trails in your area. Of course, you’ll want to have the latest gear, and I recently tested new hiking shoes from the Flash collection from Hi-Tec.

It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, fitness wear for men is a style that suits all seasons. Of course, that term covers a lot of ground, from comfortable everyday footwear to specialized gear that helps protect from injury and aid in recovery as well. With a multi-million dollar industry and massive international corporations backed up by advertising campaigns featuring the most famous sports stars in the world, it’s no wonder fitness wear for men plays such a big part in day-to-day life.
Technology is progressing at such a rapid that every few months there is a new smartphone. It is tempting to line up at the store and buy one as soon as it is released. Financially, however, this is not a great idea. Buying a new phone every few months can put a serious dent in your bank account.
It is not just the technology that is increasing; phone prices too tend to skyrocket, especially if it is a new model. So what’s a guy to do if he’s looking for his latest tech fix? The answer is in previously owned phones. This may seem like an odd idea for a phone, but it is not as bad as it sounds. There are many people who buy phones as soon as they hit the market. After a few weeks, give or take, there are some who do not feel the phone is really what they are looking for. It is then that they sell these phones at considerably lower prices. Here is what you should look for when browsing secondhand phones.
David A. Embury opened his epochal “The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks” with these words: “Anyone can make good cocktails.” It’s clear that you don’t need to be a genius to do it, and I have often proven that point through some very non-genius behavior. Most recently, I seem to be unable to read a calendar, because I’ve been congratulating myself that today’s dandy Irish whiskey-based recipe would be just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. It was only when it was much too late that I realized this week’s DOTW post would be appearing on March 18th.
Anyhow, today’s drink does indeed come to us directly from Mr. Embury’s 1948 classic. It’s basically just a very simple take on a Whiskey Sour using Irish whiskey. Still, these very specific proportions seem to suit perhaps the most weirdly underused of all the most popular base spirits.
Indeed, I really don’t see any reason at all why Irish whiskey isn’t used more often. At least to my palette, its always agreeable taste profile is a hair less mellow than Canadian whiskey but definitely gentler and far more easily mixable than Scotch. It definitely works in my personal prescription for any lingering post-St. Paddy’s depression.
The Gloom Lifter
1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/4 ounce simple syrup or 1 1/4 teaspoons superfine sugar
1/2 ounce egg white (1 ounce of packaged egg white)
Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker without ice. First, shake the ingredients to properly emulsify the egg white, being careful to keep a good seal while you do so; the albumin in egg white can make for a potentially messy chemical reaction on the so-called dry shake. Next, add ice and shake vigorously. Embury tells us that 15 seconds is about the right amount of time for most drinks. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and contemplate how perfect this drink might be on March 17, 2017… which will fall on a Friday, so I’ll presumably be right on time for a change with a holiday-appropriate beverage.
Sometimes, a person’s name says all you need to know about them. Steve Smith accomplished everything a basketball player could and was so smooth doing it that he never needed a nickname.
After growing up in Detroit, the 6-8 point guard attended college at Michigan State. He was named an All-American as a junior and senior, and hit a game-winning shot in the 1991 NCAA Tournament.
A couple months later, Smith was selected by the Miami Heat with the fifth overall pick in the NBA Draft. His NBA career spanned 14 seasons. He was named an All-Star in 1998, won an Olympic gold medal in the 2000 Sydney games, and won an NBA championship in 2003 with the San Antonio Spurs.
In this video, the current NBA TV and CBS NCAA Tournament analyst spoke to us about his partnership with Harley Davidson and the Live Your Legend campaign, the experience of being an oversized point guard at Magic Johnson’s alma mater, running into the buzzsaw of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the late ’90s, and where he keeps his NBA championship ring.
