When you’re enjoying a day at the ballpark under the summer sun, you might expect to have hot dogs, peanuts, nachos, Cracker Jacks, and a cold beer. How about some roasted grasshoppers on the side?

The Milwaukee Brewers created pulled pork parfait. The Arizona Diamondbacks cranked out funnel cake chicken sandwiches....

It’s the time of year when guys who have never explored their facial-hair options get brave. A four-week commitment — how hard could that be? Hard, perhaps not, but a challenge nonetheless: The average guy has somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 hair follicles on his face — and once they start sprouting, keeping them tidy takes a little planning. Here’s everything you need to know for growing a beard. ALSO: Best Beard Oils to Tame Your Beard...

Here, everything you need to know to make yourself some tasty jackfruit tacos at home. Make it: Meaty Jackfruit is a popular substitute for meat in Southeast Asia and India because it shreds nicely and picks up seasoning. It’s cumbersome to use fresh, so buy jackfruit canned and packed in water in the international sections at the market. Pat it dry, heat, and season like pulled pork, with jerk spices or barbecue spices....

Over 24 hours this past weekend at Whitefish Mountain Resort in Montana, ultra-endurance athlete Mike Foote skied up 61,200 vertical feet. This set a new record that had been unbeatable since 2009.

Cycling is a big deal in the northern region of Italy that houses the country’s biggest lake, Lake Garda. There’s even a hotel on the lake dedicated to cyclists (Garda Bike Hotel). And starting this summer, the incredible biking destination is about to get even better. That’s because Garda By Bike, a floating bike path that will circle around the entire lake, will open its first section in July. The “floating” cycle path will hang off cliffs and eventually go a length of 87 miles....

When it comes to staying fit outdoors, it doesn’t get much better than gliding through crystal white snow across a gorgeous landscape with the simple sounds of nature as your company.

After analyzing health records of cross-country skiers, scientists found that they had a lower risk of depression and dementia....

Layering is going to be a lot more prevalent now that the fall is here. Winter isn’t that far away either. So bundling up and getting some great fashion choices in while staying warm is going to be all over. And why not? It’s going to start getting chillier and chillier. The items that are going to be worn now will not be the same choices worn even a month ago....

Human beings are tribal and nomadic by nature, so it’s no surprise that the cult of adventuremobiles and overland travel taps directly into our natural propensity for both. In fact, road trips are the modern equivalent of wandering for a common purpose, but these days our lifestyles are less about adapting to the weather and seasonal migration routes. The popularity of packing yourself and a few friends into your vehicle of choice has not only gained a lot of attention as right of passage, but temporary respite from the “real world”....

Jared Leto has gone to extreme lengths to transform his body for an impressive number of roles. The actor looked practically skeletal after dropping 35lbs to play a transgender woman in Dallas Buyers Club alongside Matthew McConaughey, and seriously leaned out to play the Joker in Suicide Squad. Now, he’s getting ripped to play a role that he keeps coming back to: the rock-singing frontman of his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars....

by Sean Poynter In the last installment of our series Sean Poynter’s Pro SUP Surfing Tips we discussed the importance of completing the wave. For this edition, let’s move on to best practices for maneuvering your SUP surfboard. Maneuvering involves a variety of components—strength, technique, equipment, balance, flexibility, etc. To keep it easy though, I’m going to start this lesson by focusing on technique. It should be said though: the more strength, balance and flexibility you have, the more your potential for quality maneuvering increases....

Rob Lowe, the star of Lifetime’s remake of horror classic The Bad Seed talks about bringing up boys, the virtues of partying too hard, and the key to handling regret. Rob Lowe’s Secrets For Staying Young Read article What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? I’ve been sober for 28 years, and a common tenet of recovery is: “Never compare your insides to someone else’s outsides.” You never know what challenges someone else may be dealing with....

In my line of work, summertime has an unfortunate characteristic: We see a lot more patients troubled by kidney stones. A short primer on their cause: The kidneys are responsible for filtering body waste from the blood, and they turn waste into urine. Urine may look clear, but it actually contains small particles that can clump together, forming stones. If you have a little blood in your urine or a mild ache in your back below your ribs that comes and goes, it could be a kidney stone....

According to Treehugger, Indonesia is considered the second most polluted nation in the world — second only to China. “Bali, which has long been viewed as a paradisiacal destination, has been developing a reputation for excessive pollution, resulting in many tourists not wanting to return,” says Treehugger. A recent video taken by diver Rich Horner documents a facet of that pollution problem, which shows an overwhelming amount of trash in a popular diving spot off the island of Bali....

The axe is the quintessential woodsman’s tool, rich in symbolism and legend. The image is well deserved: Axes are versatile and, placed in the right hands, capable of making wilderness travel more enjoyable. Increasingly, they are also pieces of art, handcrafted by expert blacksmiths in a centuries-old Scandinavian tradition. Axes are important tools for wilderness paddling. It’s debatable whether or not it’s worth the weight of packing one in a popular canoe destination such as Minnesota’s Boundary Waters or Ontario’s Algonquin Park....

Climbing is exploding in popularity – at least that’s what you hear at the gym and at the crag and, of course, all over social media over the past few years. But what exactly does that mean? Who is it popular among? And what are the effects of the growing population of climbers? That’s what the American Alpine Club, along with other organizations including the Access Fund, USA Climbing, and the American Mountain Guides Association, set to find out with their recently released Inaugural State of Climbing Report....
