...light, out to “help people from all walks of life” find their way. Dr. Skinner has quite a following. His auditorium is packed with cheering fans. Devotees old and young, bearded and balding, bespectacled and tattooed, wait impatiently to have their copy of Dr. Skinner??s book, “Go Low,” signed by the man himself. The lucky ones even get to take a picture of this sacred moment. When Skinner speaks, followers stretch out their hands, their fingers pulled forward by his magnetic stage presence. They?...
...Greenland. The professional climber, who first started scaling mountains during high school, said that one of his earliest motivations was reading a 1996 National Geographic cover story about internationally renowned climber Todd Skinner.

...great rap albums, you overlook one of the best: A Grand Don’t Come For Free by the Streets. Mike Skinner dropped what was probably the only successful second album this year, and did it with incredible panache. A narrative chronicling a day in Skinner??s life after he loses the titular thousand pounds, the album follows emotional peaks and valleys, including the counterpoint of the jubilant “Could Well Be In” and the wrenching British hit “Dry Your Eyes...
