Welcome to Sedona. The southwest is often associated with high temps, dry climate and well, tumbleweeds, thanks to Hollywood. Arizona is a state that you may have glanced over a time or two, but deep in its northern reaches, about 30 miles shy of Flagstaff and encircled by the Coconino National Forest, you’ll find Sedona. Sure, this is the desert (the Upper Sonoran, to be exact), but it’s so much more than barren landscape....

The new generation is ready for its war against the Kaiju in Pacific Rim Uprising. After the mega monsters were defeated in the first Pacific Rim film, the baddies have returned—and they’re bigger and stronger than ever. The latest look at Pacific Rim Uprising spotlights Jake Pentecost (John Boyega), son of the heroic Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba), as he spends his days partying and trying to avoid following in his father’s footsteps....

Tom Hardy just can’t catch a break on the set of Venom. Filming has been rolling along on the Sony/Marvel movie for a couple months, and the latest look at the set shows Hardy and actor Scott Haze shooting what could be a key scene in the film. Much like the previous photos and video that have come out from production, Hardy’s character, Eddie Brock, appears to struggle for control of his own body as Haze’s yet-unnamed character hovers over him....

Trying to find the right diet can be pretty daunting. There are so many different types that trying to find the one that fits in one’s lifestyle can seem impossible. Taking into account what the goal is can narrow things down a bit but even then, how does one really and truly know that a certain diet is going to do the trick? Well, that is the question of questions. But when using Noom, don’t be surprised to find that the diet assigned is the Keto diet....

Confidence, self-esteem, and body positivity aren’t usually topics of conversation for men. But they should be. Women aren’t the only ones who struggle with body image issues, according to recent research published in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity. Yep, we all compare ourselves to what society says is the “ideal” physique and body type. “There’s a much more extreme model today of what a healthy man looks like,” lead study author David Frederick told The Wall Street Journal....

A new movie and miniseries explore the misdeeds of the powerful and the privileged. The Report, releasing just in time for awards season, focuses on the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation into the CIA’s use of torture tactics on prisoners following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. The film stars Adam Driver, Annette Bening, and Jon Hamm. Another cant-miss is a true-crime miniseries premiering in November on AMC. The Preppy Murder follows the homicide of a young woman in Central Park and the subsequent trial, which brought a rich prep-school teen with murderous intentions into the public eye....

With keto and paleo diets grabbing headlines and pushing more protein onto plates across the country, it’s easy to think that an extra helping of meat (or other protein-rich foods) is good for you. But current guidelines suggest you only need .8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight daily. So what’s the right move? Nutrition scientists at Purdue University have an answer. In a new study published in Advances in Nutrition, they conclude that eating more than the recommended amount of protein only benefits people who are actively trying to lose weight or build muscle....

It’s official, ski/snowboard season is underway. And as resorts across the country recently began spinning their lifts, skiers and snowboarders rejoice with hopes that we might once again enjoy waist-deep powder and countless face shots from another record-breaking season like last year. This also means that it’s officially time to gear up. And one piece of gear that can often go overlooked when it comes to freshening your kit each year, is your goggles....

Losing weight is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions, but it’s also one of the hardest to maintain and successfully accomplish. If you get down all the basics—you’re working out regularly and eating a healthy diet—but can’t seem to get past the first five pounds, it may be the finer details that warrant your attention. We asked nutritionist Kristen Carlucci, R.D., for the most common nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle blunders that keep the scale from tipping in the right direction—and their fixes....

Though he’s only 21 years old, lately Austin Mahone has been thinking a lot about time. Take, for instance, his hair. It’s been through countless iterations in the five years since he started releasing music (among them: the high and tight, the gentle wave, the pompadour, and more than a few instances when it was tucked firmly underneath a hat), but in the past few months the singer hasn’t been doing that much to it at all....

“Epicly Later’d”, the renowned Vice video series by Patrick O’Dell that gives an in-depth look into the lives of the most legendary skateboarders, is going to be back for another season on September 6. Having just released a trailer for the new season, we find that it will feature skaters Bam Margera, Spike Jonze, Chad Muska, Andrew Reynolds, Heath Kirchart, Andy Roy, Harmony Korine and Jason Dill.

Bill Maher, the acerbic host of HBO’s Real Time… on how relationships are like airplanes, the most important thing he learned as a kid, and why he cannot look away from Temptation Island. — As told to Larry Kanter Men’s Journal: Who were your heroes growing up? Bill Maher: Anyone who was funny. And then as I got a little older, it was funny but also attractive to women. Like Dean Martin....

TRUE. Over the years, I’ve had patients come to me with numbness and irritation of the genital area and even sexual dysfunction after extended time in the saddle. It makes sense. The place where the bike seat meets the rider is called the perineum. It’s the site of nerves, muscle, and blood supply that affect the genitals. Problems crop up mainly among serious athletes who are aggressive with their schedules. But even the casual cyclist may have trouble—for instance, when he goes on a weeklong bike trip, quadrupling his usual mileage and powering through the pain....

Finding Light in the darkness at Bermuda’s premier paddle race It was still dark at the start line of the 2017 Devil’s Isle Challenge. Headlamp rays wafted above the check-in table like beams of miniature UFOs casting a dreamy mood for the pre-race hustle. A modest handful of brave endurance athletes hovered around the beach, somber silhouettes prepping their boards and alternating sips of Carbo Pro with coffee. The humid morning air clung with anticipation that felt thick enough to chew....

A sad day in our national life was punctuated yesterday by the death of Tom Petty, a mineral element in American song whose square-jawed beats, high-lonesome whine and surfeit of canon-ready classics made him one of the most enduringly popular figures in rock music history. A Gainesville, Florida native and denizen of teenage bar-bands, Petty served as a Southern analog to his direct contemporary Bruce Springsteen, often parsing the challenges and contradictions of the post-Reconstruction South in the way Springsteen chronicled the struggles of the Atlantic corridor....
