Last week Thursday, we participated in the First Annual Shellback Rum Cup. We formed a team of 5 and competed in a sailing competition and competitive games with the likes of Details, Thrillist, Complex, Inside Hook, Woven and Dancing Astronaut. To set things in motion, we started off with a series of games that includes random nautical trivia, constructing a boat and placing it in a glass bottle, creating a sailboat in the form of origami and tying one of those traditional sailing knots. The team were outfitted in color coded uniforms including jackets, shoes and polo shirts for the boat race. Check out the images below to see the day’s events that took place. Congrats to Dancing Astronaut for winning! Head over to our Facebook pageto view more photos.

Odin Fragrances offers a range of unique fragrances, each one evoking the exoticism of travel. Each destination that inspires the distinctive fragrances is captured through a layering of diverse influences. 04 Petrana, inspired by the Jordanian desert, combines the spicy earthiness of pink pepper matched with the fresh floral notes of orris. 08 Seylon balances an airy palette of Sri Lankan citrusy top notes with warm, spicy base notes. 09 Posala resembles a fresh, aromatic Southern orchard with hints of sweet citrus and earthy amber. Odin Fragrances are available at Odin New York And Barney’s New York nationwide.

Walters, who will turn 84 in September, intends to remain on The View through next season and will step down after the season wraps in summer 2014. She’ll continue to be a co-executive producer of the show and will be involved in selecting new co-hosts to replace Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Behar announced in March that she’ll depart after the current season. Hasselbeck has yet to confirm that she’s leaving the show.

Bright colors, contrasting with each other, to celebrate the incoming summer with energy, enthusiasm and the constant reference to the surf reality, respecting the spirit and the taste of the brand. There are many new elements compared to the previous edition, like the size of the table: the considerably shortened length and the finer thickness. The most important point of the entire collection is the combination of colors, leading in the new 5 models. This kind of connection is even more evident by the swallowtail, frequently used in surfboards and now distinctive element of Bright Collection.
The Atypical shield has also been applied on the boards. The collection will be on pre-order with free worldwide shipping, until May 3rd, 2013 on the official website www.atypical.it.

Boston garnered the world’s attention and sympathy in what should have been a day of celebration for runners in the events of what took place on the day of this year’s Boston Marathon. While the motives are still unclear, what is for sure is that the events of that day have unified not just Bostonians but people all over the world. Particularly poignant, and moving, is news that Nike, adidas, New Balance, and PUMA have teamed up to present a unified front. Whether this entails a full campaign or just the image is still unclear, but its nice to see several competing companies set aside their differences for the city of Boston and the world of sports in general.
