Surfing Waves

A Beginning

If there were a book about the 'how to of surfing waves for beginners' I would have been the first one to eat it up, but at two years old I couldn't read, didn't know what waves were or surfing, and actually enjoyed playing in my cloth diapers in the white wash that covered the shore. At that age I loved the taste of the ocean. It was like candy for me, calling me back to the water again and again. I loved the ocean, I swam and fished and 'boogie boarded' for the majority of my young life.

Catching the Jaguar XJ6

The Jaguar XJ6 was a different and unique kind of vehicle that the Ford Motor Company introduced and marketed under the Jaguar brand. The interior of the XJ6 could be considered stunning and amazing. This vehicle sports an analog clock and as a whole, the cabin provides an easy comfort and relaxing ride for its passengers.

Jaguar XK 140: Filling the Spot Between the 120 and the 150

The Jaguar XK 140 has been produced starting from 1954 up until 1957, thus it has lived for only three years. It is a sports car and it holds two doors. The Jaguar XK 140 made its way to public knowledge during its debut at the 1954 motor show. It was then considered to be an evolution of the Jaguar XK 120.

Jaguar XJS Shows Sportsmanship

The Jaguar XJS is a luxury coupe and it has replaced the famous and world-renowned Jaguar E Type. This vehicle went into a very quick ascent to popularity when there was a television series that came up needing a vehicle. The television series was the popular Return of the Saint.

An Elegant Fast Car

The elegant stylish and all new 2007 Jaguar XKR concept is finally revealed. The four-seater two-door convertible vehicle is the forefront of the latest technology of future lightweight car structure of Jaguar. The lustrous car model was also made to show off unique design and outstanding performance.

Jaguar X-type Diesel

I don't remember settling into a new car faster than I did with the X-Type D. Just moved the seat once to take the delivery driver to the station and I was comfortable for the rest of the week. Everything I wanted fell to hand, or was in a logical place and worked logically, though that could be due to years of conditioning by Mondeo. I have received a few complaints from tall, long-legged drivers that they just can't get comfortable in an X-Type, but that applies to 3-Series, 5-Series and numerous other cars. For normal size blokes like me it's fine.

MSN Cars: Jaguar XKR Video Road Test

Besides the driver's seat, the best vantage point from which to enjoy Jaguar's supercharged XKR may be from behind it. All the better to admire the sinuousness of its arching fenders and tapered rump, this vantage point puts you front and center for a guttural blast from the XKR's four exhaust pipes. Jaguar designers, engineers, and product types have given the marque's Grace, Pace, Space mantra a shot of protein powder and sent the XK model to a spin class. She's fitter, trimmer, lighter, and hotter for sure--yet elegant as ever.

Test Driving the Jaguar XK

Michelle and I went to XK training in NJ, where we got to test out the new XK coupe... it was such a blast. I love this car! The outgoing Jaguar sports car, the XK8, is 10 years old, and in its later years, had become a patchwork as new technologies like satellite radio, navigation and airbags had to be adapted to it. Its V8 horsepower number began with a 2 instead of a 3, putting it way behind the competition. There were new safety and emissions goals to be met. So they threw out the XK8 and replaced it with a brand new car from the ground up, the first aluminum-chassis sports car in Jaguar's six decades of production. They've changed the name, too, in the process, from XK-8 to XK 4.2.

NCAA Conference Tournaments

March Madness is the official term of the NCAA Division I-A men's basketball tournament, but the actual madness begins two weeks earlier. The conference tournaments are just as wild, if not wilder. The conference tournaments are completed in three or four days, with some teams playing each day. This is where the Cinderellas get their invites to the ball, where below .500 teams come from nowhere to win championships and the automatic berths that come with it. This is where bubbles are burst or teams earn the right to compete for a national title.

Betting On March Madness

As a handicapper whose basis for selections consists almost exclusively on fundamental and situational analysis, I don't change my methods during the frenzied betting period aptly nicknamed March Madness. However, that being said, there are some additional situational factors that apply to this season ending span of college basketball which must be considered, and I'll point out a few along with key fundamental aspects that have delivered success for me in handicapping these games.

Scene-Stealers.com reviews Frank Miller's 300 the movie

Eric and J.D., unorthodox film critics from Scene-Stealers.com, discuss the most violent movie since Apocalypto and the gayest movie since Brokeback Mountain. In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes lead a Army of well over 100,000 (Persian king Xerxes before war has about 170,000 army) men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Slave soldiers. Xerxes waited for 10 days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat was not the one expected as a local shepherd named Ephialtes defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks.
