Thanks to Hurricane Sandy wreaking havoc on much of Manhattan Monday (October 29), Late Night with Jimmy Fallon taped yesterday’s show without an audience. It was eerie and absurd watching the host deliver punchlines punctuated with a few chuckles from the crew and a whole lot of crickets, and it was equally strange seeing a band perform in a silent room. But Imagine Dragons‘ “It’s Time” worked well in the empty setting. The hand-claps and stomps giving the performance a revival hall vibe, and with the energy built up at the song’s crescendo, they may as well have been in a packed stadium. Watch it up top.

[ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: October 30, 2012] Hurricane Sandy was the most powerful storm to ever make landfall on the United States east coast, north of the Carolinas. It hit southern New Jersey at 6.30pm local time and laid waste to the majority of the Northeast during the day. Currently 48 people across the US and Canada have been reported dead, but the final figure is expected to be significantly higher. Hundreds of thousands of people are without power in New York and the transit system, schools, the stock exchange and Broadway are all out of action after a 13ft wall of water caused by the storm surge and high tides brought severe flooding to subways and road tunnels. There are dozens of photos flying around the web and we’ve compiled all of them in one place.

The sound of mariachi bands playing in the background, the cool breeze of the Pacific Ocean, and the vineyard-like landscapes of Jalisco, Mexico are home to tequila. This tiny slice of heaven is home to more than 100 distilleries making over 900 unique brands of tequila. With a new brand popping up each week I have had the privilege of tasting many different varieties of tequila. Today, I’m doing a review of the Piedra Azul made at La Madrilena in Tototlan. I knew before I popped the top of the bottle that this tequila had a strong pedigree. The distillery, La Madrilena is famous for producing Xicote, one of the rarest and most floral tequilas I have ever had. The factory where Piedra Azul is made was built in 1911 by Don Pedro Velasco; knowing about its rich heritage and pedigree gave me my first two clues about this brand. First, it’s a less expensive counterpart to Xicote which may cause quality may be lacking. However, the difference that even a small aspect can make in the taste of tequila can be very difficult to explain to a general consumer. I always ask representatives from distilleries two simple questions about the production more »

The Oakley Airwave is the future of technology meets action sports.

Alpine sports enthusiasts can access a full range of information transmitted directly to the eye with the benefits of Oakley’s world-class optical performance, comfort and protection. The heads up display appears as a 14 ft projection 5 feet away, so your eye never has to refocus, but aligned low enough to be non intrusive. Speed, jump verticals and jump time are also new innovations that will encourage riders and skiers to push the envelope without the assist of a buddy filming their jumps. The Airwave also has over 600 snow trail maps so you can map out or check off your run before you ride. And if thats not enough, if your mountain brah’s have the goggles, app or a smartphone you can track their location on the mountain and meet up after a few runs on your own.

Tony Montana may have been living the American dream in Miami, but the real mansion that served as a backdrop for the 1983 movie “Scarface” is actually located in Santa Barbara, California. It’s also available to rent for a cool $30,000 a month through Village Properties Realtors.

It also has four bedrooms, a rooftop terrace, and staggering views of the Pacific Ocean. The house is known locally as “El Fureidis,” or “little paradise.” It was designed by American architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and built in 1906.
