eBay Listing: Extreme Polar Tacoma Truck used to smash world record to South Pole for sale on eBay
Using a state-of-the-art, specialized vehicle, a team crossed 700 miles of ice to smash a Guinness World Record. Learn about the journey, and bid on the truck that set a new world record.
Nearly two years ago a three-man team of adventurers headed to the South Pole in an attempt to beat the current world overland record of 2 days, 21 hours and 21 minutes. That historic journey also marked the 100-year anniversary of the first conquest by the Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen, who successfully completed the epic mission on December 14, 1911. It was a 57-day trek to battle their dog sleighs over the Antarctic tundra.
To date, less than 300 people have followed in Amundsen's footsteps, but Jason de Carteret led an elite team in a highly modified Toyota Tacoma carrying a crew of three: Kieron Bradley, a British engineer who works for Group Lotus, and Jason Thomas, a Canadian copywriter who won an online competition to fill the third seat.
The truck for this South Pole expedition was designed by UK transport design company Ian Nisbett Design Ltd and built by one of the expedition crew members who also happens to be a Formula 1 Engineer — Keiron Bradley. The design goal was to build a vehicle that will "help define a new era in faster and more flexible Polar travel". The lucky buyer gets a copy of the world record certificates and a copy of the Discovery Channel documentary on DVD.
More importantly, the sale includes driver training for two days that covers operation of the vehicle's installed hardware and instruction how drive the vehicle.

Sku: 092587
92 pts Jay Miller WA
The 2006 Clos de los Siete is a slightly different blend with 50% Malbec, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Syrah. Opaque purple-colored, it has a similar expressive nose including fragrant plum, blueberry, and black cherry. Ripe, sweet, and seamless, it admirably hides its tannin under all the fruit.

The Hawkeyes won two Big Ten Conference tournament titles (2001 and `06). Iowa was 17-14 in 2006-07. It was 9-7 in the Big Ten, tied with NCAA teams Illinois and Purdue for fourth place.
Prior to Iowa, Alford posted a 78-29 record in four seasons (1992-95) at NCAA Division III Manchester (Ind.)

The Bears defeated Wisconsin and Tennessee to advance to the Sweet 16 of the 1999 NCAA Tournament before losing to top-ranked Duke in the regional semifinals. In 1997 Alford led the Bears to a 24-9 record (second in the Missouri Valley Conference) and a trip to the National Invitation Tournament.
New Mexico has a 105-94 lead, and although it has lost the last two, it has won 5 of the past 8 overall, including four in a row in The Pit. The Aggies snagged a 71-62 win Dec. 4 in Las Cruces. UNM has a 65-36 lead in Albuquerque, 29-13 in The Pit..
In the past two games, New Mexico has been out-rebounded by New Mexico State 85-53. Both of those games were Aggie victories in Las Cruces. The "Points in the Paint" scoring has been a decisive 66-20 in the Aggies' favor over that span.
Justin Hawkins recovered from an 0-for-5 first-half shooting effort, scoring 12 points, and freshman Wendell McKines had 15 rebounds as New Mexico State beat New Mexico 71-62.
With Hawkins struggling to a 3-of-14 shooting performance from the floor, his teammates picked things up. Hatila Passos was a force inside, scoring 12 points, Chris Cole added 11 and Jonathan Gibson 10, including a 3-pointer and a dunk during an 11-5 burst that stretched New Mexico State's lead to 57-44 with 5:11 remaining.
The Lobos cut it to 67-60 on a three-point play by Jamaal Smith with 39.1 seconds to go, but New Mexico made all 12 of its free throws in the final 2:14 to seal it up. Hawkins was 6-for-6 from the line in that stretch.
Chad Toppert led the Lobos with 20 points, hitting 6-of-7 from 3-point range, and Smith scored 17. New Mexico standout J.R. Giddens was held to four points on 2-of-10 shooting.
New Mexico State used a 44-28 rebounding advantage to control the interior and relied on a backcourt press to disrupt New Mexico's guards, nullifying the Lobos' dangerous transition game. The Lobos shot 38 percent from the field, hitting 21-of-55.
In an 85-77 loss at Mississippi, Giddens missed all six of his attempts, then went 0-for-2 in the first half against NMSU. He finally broke through on a 14-foot jumper to open the second half. But that was New Mexico's only bucket as the Aggies started with an 8-2 burst, capped by Hawkins' first basket on a dunk when the Lobos left him open under the hoop. It put New Mexico State up 36-28 and even when the Lobos cut it to 39-36 after Toppert hit two 3-pointers, the Aggies fired it up again, scoring the next seven points for a 46-36 lead with 9:43 to go.
J.R. Giddens scored 19 points, Aaron Johnson grabbed 14 rebounds and Darren Prentice hit plenty of clutch shots in New Mexico's 79-76 win over New Mexico State. UNM led by 16 points late in the first half, then had to hold off a tenacious rally by the Aggies.
New Mexico State missed three 3-point shots in the final 19 seconds. The Aggies also hurt themselves at the free throw line, where they missed 12 free throws in the second half and hit just 12 of 28 in the game. Center Martin Iti led the Aggies' futility at the foul line, missing all eight free throws he took, six of them in the second half.
Still the Aggies, who got 23 points from Justin Hawkins and 15 points from reserve guard Ted Knauber on five 3-pointers, had a chance to at least force overtime. Jamaal Smith hit two free throws to give New Mexico a 79-76 lead with 22.1 seconds remaining.
The Aggies took a time-out, then freed up Fred Peete for a 3 from the right side that missed. The Aggies rebounded the miss and Hawkins misfired on a 3-pointer from the left baseline. Giddens was fouled with 5.7 seconds remaining, but he missed both free throws. With the clock winding down, Aggie freshman Jonathan Gibson put up a 3-pointer that was long as the buzzer sounded.
New Mexico led through most of the game and built a 44-28 lead with 29 seconds left in the first half on the shooting of Tony Danridge and Prentice. Danridge scored 11 straight points in one stretch and by halftime had matched his career high of 15 points. He was 7-for-7 in the first half but took just two shots in the second half. Prentice matched his career-high with 16 points and hit 5 of 6 shots and had 3 3-pointers. His two free throws with 2:19 remaining gave New Mexico a 75-71 lead and after Giddens hit a 12-footer, the Lobos led 77-71 with a minute left.
But the Aggies weren't done. Hawkins hit a 3 with 41.7 seconds left and Iti a layup with 22.6 seconds remaining to get the Aggies within 77-76.
A little more than 12 years ago, one of the most dramatic endings in the UNM-NMSU series took place in Las Cruces. That's when sophomore Clayton Shields banked in a 55-foot prayer at the buzzer to give New Mexico a stunning 69-68 victory.
Shields went from potential goat to improbable hero in a very short time. Four seconds prior to his game-winning heave, Shields missed two free throws that would have given UNM a one-point lead.
The Aggies were sent to the line with 2.4 seconds remaining. Charles Gosa made the first to hand NMSU a 68-66 lead, but he missed the second. A quick outlet to Shields off the miss ended up being one of the longest 3-pointers in school history. Shields finished with 26 points and 8 rebounds.
The 1995-96 team with Shields, Charles Smith and Kenny Thomas leading the way went on to finish 28-5 before losing to Georgetown in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The 2007-08 season is the 105th in school history. The Lobos first laced up the hightops on Feb. 2, 1900, when they lost 8-6 to the Albuquerque Guards. While this season is actually the 106th anniversary of that inaugural year, UNM did not field a team for various reasons in 1900-01, 1903-04, 1917-18 and 1920-21.
The Lobos have been on the hardwoods continuously since the 1921-22 season and have compiled an all-time record of 1,273-999 (.560). New Mexico was 420-498 (.457) from 1900-62, but has gone 853-501 (.627) over the past 44-plus seasons, an average of nearly 19 wins per year.
The Lobos have made 27 trips to the postseason during that span, including 11 appearances in the NCAA Tournament and 16 showings in the NIT.
Lobo senior Tony Danridge suffered a broken left fibula during a game with teammates on Oct. 4. He had surgery on Oct. 8 and is expected to miss three months. Danridge, a 6-5 senior from San Bernardino, Calif., posted 12.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game last season and was named 3rd team All-MWC. He is the only Lobo to play in all 95 games over the past three seasons, not missing a game to this point in his Lobo career. He does have a redshirt year available.
Freshman Dairese Gary scored 18 points, shooting 7-of-11 from the floor and hitting all four of his 3-point tries, while J.R. Giddens and Chad Toppert each scored 13 points in New Mexico's 80-63 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday. The Lobos hit 9-of-11 on 3-pointers, setting a school record (81.8 percent) for best percentage in a game.
The Lobos quickly jumped to a 14-2 lead through the first 6 1/2 minutes. Everything went right for New Mexico, even Gary's one-handed 47-footer at the halftime buzzer for a 44-26 lead.
New Mexico made all six of its 3-point tries in the first 20 minutes, and every Lobo who suited up had scored by halftime.
The Red Raiders, meanwhile, just couldn't get anything get going. Martin Zeno, the team's leading scorer at a 16.7 average, came out early in the first half and didn't return.
Alan Voskuil, Texas Tech's No. 2 scorer with a 13.6 average, didn't log any points until hitting two free throws 3 1/2 minutes into the second half.
New Mexico led 52-30 early in the second half after Gary made another 3-pointer. The Red Raiders trimmed the deficit to 54-41 with an 11-2 run and even cut it to 68-59 on Cook's 3-pointer with 4:26 remaining. But Gary scored twice as the Lobos got the next three baskets, including a dunk by Giddens after a scramble for a loose ball to give New Mexico a 74-59 lead with 2:36 remaining.
Freshman Dairese Gary
Sophomore Roman Martinez
Juniors Daniel Faris, Johnnie Harris and Monquel Pegues
Senior J.R. Giddens
Junior Chad Toppert
For the second game in a row, New Mexico really put the clamps on the opponents' top scorers:
Junior Chad Toppert moved back into the No. 1 position in school history for 3-point accuracy. He has made 45.49% (131-288) of his tries. Troy DeVries is 2nd at 44.95% (147-327).
Toppert also leads the league in 3-point shooting this season at 51.6% (32-62). He's made 14 of 22 (64%) the past 4 games after an 0 for 6 performance against Southern Utah.
For the first time since the 3-point shot was introduced into college basketball before the 1986-87 season, UNM canned at least 13 3-pointers in three straight games. The historic feat came during the Basketball Travelers Invitational when the Lobos were 13 of 28 against Presbyterian, 13 of 28 against St. Bonaventure and 13 of 26 against Loyola Marymount. That's a 47.6% clip for the 3-game tournament.
MORE ON THE 3s
Before the 3-for-24 performance from long range against Southern Utah, the Lobos were among the nation's early leaders in 3-point shooting. However, they still lead the league in 3s per game at 9.1 and in accuracy at 44.2%.
The 3s have dropped somewhat, though. Through the first 6 games, UNM was averaging 10.8 a game and shooting 47.8%, however, the past 4 contests, the Lobos are making an average of 7 treys and shooting 38.9% (35-90).
3s AND COUNTING
UNM has made a 3-point basket in 559 straight games, the 12th-longest active streak in NCAA Div. I hoops. UNLV is 1st at more than 650 games. The last time UNM failed to connect from long range was Jan. 3, 1991, missing on 8 attempts against Colorado State in The Pit.
All 10 Lobos have played in every game this season, and all 10 are averaging between 13 and 27.9 minutes a game. With 11 games in the books, you could say there have been a total of 110 opportunities to score: 11 games x 10 players. Amazingly, only 9 times has a Lobo not gotten into the scoring column this season. It's the same with rebounding. Just 11 times has a Lobo failed to get a carom.
And, since everyone plays the Lobo bench has made huge contributions. The reserves contributed 49 points in the 86-58 win over Loyola Marymount, including 19 of the first 23 and 26 of 43 in the first half.
UNM's reserves have scored 45.3% (373 of 823) of the points and pulled down 44.1% (158 of 358) of the individual rebounds this season. That's averages of 33.9 points and 14.4 rebounds a game.
The 28 assists in the 92-57 win over Eastern Washington is UNM's highest total in 10 years, since it had 32 in a 112-61 victory over Holy Cross on Dec. 29, 1997.

The Asus Transformer book is what Asus claims to be the first convertible notebook, switching between a tablet and a netbook very much in the style of the original Transformer.
The differences are key, however, as the new device runs standard Intel chipsets (likely to be available in i3, i5 and i7 iterations at launch), as well as Windows 8 OS.
Asus has kept tight-lipped about detailed specs, but confirmed that there will be SSD and HD options available at launch, along with screen sizes from 17.6 to 11.6.
The model we got a brief preview of at IFA 2012 was very similar to the Transformer, down to the same tablet detachment mechanism, but sporting a slightly deeper keyboard module.
UK distribution is yet to be confirmed, but Asus gave an unofficial UK launch date of Q2 2013.

Motley Fool 11/10/2013
Ask the Fool
Stocks vs. funds
Q: My husband and I hold mostly individual stocks in our IRA accounts, along with an international index fund. Does that make sense, or should we stick with just funds, and not individual stocks? — D.W., Dunkirk, N.Y.
A: It depends. Mutual funds (ideally ones with low fees and talented managers, or low-fee index funds) offer convenience and instant diversification. They can also expose you to industries or regions you don't know very well, such as the international arena. Carefully selected individual stocks, meanwhile, can deliver bigger returns, but that's far from guaranteed.
A nice compromise for many people is to park some or much of a portfolio's assets in broad-market index funds, and then aim to juice that market-matching return with some managed mutual funds and/or stocks. Healthy and growing dividend-paying companies can be powerful contributors to a portfolio, and dynamic small-caps can come through for you, too.
Those without the time or interest to study and keep up with individual stocks should probably stick with funds. Learn more at fool.com/investing and morningstar.com.
Q: Why aren't there any stock listings in my newspaper on Mondays? — H.K., Palmdale, Calif.
A: American stock markets are closed over the weekend, so there are no new stock movements to report. (Friday movements are generally published on Saturday.)
Impatient investors can look up the latest stock data online at any time, but keep in mind that many of the world's best investors don't pay close attention to the latest prices of their holdings.
What matters most is how well the company is performing, not the stock. You could do quite well in your investing life without checking your portfolio's status every day or even every month.
Fool's School
Who needs life insurance?
Life insurance isn't for everyone. If you're single or have no dependents, for example, you probably need little or no life insurance. You'd do well to take the money you might have paid in insurance premiums and invest it instead. But if anyone depends on your income, life insurance can protect it.
There are two main types of life insurance: "term" and "cash value."
With term insurance, your premium payments are applied entirely to the cost of the insurance, and coverage can easily be dropped when you no longer have dependents. It's a very simple and effective option.
Cash value insurance, meanwhile, encompasses a wide variety of financial products, such as whole life, universal life and variable life. These combine term life insurance with a long-term, tax-sheltered savings plan. The most important thing to understand about these policies is that they're designed to be held for life. There are usually significant upfront charges associated with setting up the savings plan, investing the money and paying the agent's commission.
Despite these charges, tax-sheltered savings can still catch up to taxed investments and begin delivering a real advantage — but that can take 10 to 20 years, and it isn't always worth it.
Never opt for cash value insurance without doing a lot of homework. Don't let an aggressive agent sway you with confusing presentations and emotional arguments. ("Think of your children!") Remember that term life can last as long as you want, via guaranteed renewable policies.
If you're attracted to the investment portion of cash value insurance, know that you can always buy less-expensive term insurance and invest the difference on your own. You stand a good chance of outperforming the insurance company, too.
Don't make the common mistakes of buying more insurance than you need or the wrong kind of insurance. You want to protect and replace the income stream that would be lost if you die, but you don't need to set up a lottery-like payout on your death. Learn more at bankrate.com/insurance.aspx and insurance.yahoo.com, and look up some prices at insure.com.
My Dumbest Investment
Stock gains from weight loss?
I saw a story on VIVUS on "60 Minutes" long ago and have watched this stock for eight years. I bought in early, around $4 per share, and sold around $9 per share. The late-stage clinical trial results for its weight-loss drug Qsymia were promising, so I bought back around $20 when the FDA approved Qsymia. But the shares have roughly dropped in half since then. Should I hold or sell? — A.G., online
The Fool responds: As with most stocks, opinions are divided on whether VIVUS is overvalued or a bargain. Qsymia has its fans, but it hasn't been selling briskly, and its cost (about $150 monthly without insurance) is not yet reimbursed by most insurers. (Sales have improved as more retail pharmacies now carry it.) On top of that, there are competition concerns from the drug Belviq and other drugs in competitors' pipelines.
Foolish Trivia
Name that company
I was founded in 1951 in New York by a mushroom grower who had bought a depleted iron ore mine. Today, based in Boston and with a market value near $5 billion, I'm a storage specialist, helping more than 156,000 organizations in 32 countries store, protect and manage their information. More than 94 percent of the Fortune 1000 companies use my services. I store some of the world's most valuable historical artifacts, cultural treasures, business documents and medical records. I offer secure shredding and data backup and recovery services, too. I rake in about $3 billion annually. Who am I?
Last week's trivia answer
Three brothers founded me in 1886 in New Jersey. Today I encompass more than 275 operating companies in more than 60 countries, and I employ more than 125,000 people. I'm the world's largest and most diverse medical devices and diagnostics company, the sixth-largest consumer health company and the eighth-largest pharmaceuticals company. I rake in roughly $70 billion annually and have posted 51 consecutive years of dividend increases — so far. My brands include Band-Aid, Listerine, Tylenol, Splenda, Motrin, Visine, Stayfree, K-Y, Rogaine, Procrit and Remicade. Some 25 percent of my 2012 sales came from new products. Who am I? (Answer: Johnson & Johnson)
The Motley Fool Take
Bank on Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) is one of America's biggest banks and its largest mortgage lender. Recently sporting a dividend yield of about 2.9 percent and having hiked that payout aggressively in recent years, it warrants a closer look.
Wells Fargo recently posted its third-quarter results, and they featured record net income (up 14 percent over year-ago levels), a continuing increase in return on equity, and four businesses growing by double digits: credit cards, personal credit management, retail sales finance and retirement services.
Not everything in its last quarter was rosy, though. Revenue dropped by 4 percent, and mortgage originations dropped by 29 percent as interest rates rose. Rising rates have an upside, too, though, as they can increase a bank's interest spread, as it charges its borrowers more.
Wells Fargo has a lot going for it and is poised to profit from our improving economy, benefiting from its diversified business lines and competitive strengths. (The Motley Fool owns shares of Wells Fargo and its newsletters have recommended it.)

Fun Interactive Games For Your Baby
Almost everyday, infants will amaze you with skills and talents because they learn quickly. Come up with your own games for your baby since you are the expert and watch the way his or her mind blooms! Remember, that children who are developing normally have tremendous differences among them. In contrast to an easygoing baby, a sensitive one is not 'worse' or 'better'. Likewise, a baby is not necessarily 'smarter' if he touches the smudge of lipstick on his cheek ahead of another.

Seay (T-AKR 302) honors Sgt. William W. Seay, USA, (1948-1968), awarded a Medal of Honor for gallantry in Vietnam on Aug. 25, 1968. Sgt. Seay was serving as a driver in a transportation company on a resupply mission near Ap Hi, Republic of Vietnam. Sgt. Seay, wounded from an enemy attack, returned a grenade thrown into his position. He then stood up and fired his rifle with his left hand, killing three enemy soldiers and saving the lives of the other men in his location. Sgt. Seay was then mortally wounded by a sniper.
Sisler (T-AKR 311) honors 1st Lt. George K. Sisler, USA, (1937-1967), awarded a Medal of Honor for gallantry while serving as a platoon leader/advisor to a Special United States/ Vietnam Exploitation Force. On Feb. 7, 1967, while on patrol deep in enemy territory, 1st Lt. Sisler's platoon was attacked from three sides by a company-sized enemy force. A single-handed charge by 1st Lt. Sisler, using rifle fire and grenades, halted the attack and forced the enemy to withdraw. He continued to move about the field, directing air strikes on enemy positions until he was mortally wounded.
The T-AKR 300 Bob Hope Class LMSR ships will be the centerpiece of America's sealift power projection into the next century. LMSR's will replace smaller roll-on/roll-off ships currently being used to preposition the equipment for an Army brigade-sized task force. Ranging from approximately 907 to 956 feet in length, their roll-on/roll-off design makes them ideal for transporting Army tanks, trucks and other wheeled and tracked military vehicles. Each ship will provide between 300,000 and 390,000 square feet of cargo carrying space.

Methods of Group Exercise Instruction
Textbook & Digital Video Disk (DVD)
|ExRx.net > Store > Group Exercise > Package
Carol A. Kennedy-Armbruster, Mary M. Yoke
2nd Edition
US Price: $72
360 pages
About the Authors | Table of Contents | Audiences
Completely revised, Methods of Group Exercise Instruction, Second Edition, highlights the commonalities of a variety of group exercise formats through common training principles, correction techniques, and safety.
Comprehensive, practical, and research based, this text features applied learning through practical mini-teaching assignments that are referenced with demonstrations found on the DVD. Teaching techniques convey appropriate training for each muscle group and methods for warm-up, cardiorespiratory training, muscular conditioning, and flexibility. In addition, starter routines, modification strategies, and assessments are presented for eight class formats: hi/low impact, step training, kickboxing, sport conditioning, stationary indoor cycling, water exercise, yoga, and mat-based Pilates.
Merging both text and video, the second edition is an in-depth and practical resource for beginning and preprofessional group exercise instructors working to improve their teaching skills and confidence. New to this second edition are the following features:
- Three chapters discussing popular group exercise formats for sports conditioning, yoga, and mat-based Pilates
- Research highlight boxes that share supporting research for the guidelines and procedures recommended in the text
- Three skill levels of instruction for many formats featured on the DVD
- DVD quizzes in the instructor guide for use in conjunction with the video segments
- An expanded instructor guide and test package
Methods of Group Exercise Instruction, Second Edition, moves from theory to practice in a logical progression that is helpful for both students and methods course instructors. The text is also organized for easy reference, putting the techniques that group exercise instructors need to know at their fingertips.
Part I of the text presents foundational knowledge for group exercise instructors, which is applied in part III of the book. An introduction to the field of group exercise instruction discusses differences between student-centered and teacher-centered instruction, presents research on group cohesion, and offers options for professional certificiation and continuing education. Insights on the evolution of group fitness, cultural influences, the instructor as role model, and basic business practices provide a deeper level of understanding that moves beyond the class routine to create a safe and enjoyable environment for all class participants. The final two chapters in part I present practical discussion of core concepts in class design and appropriate use of music, choreography, and cueing methods.
Chapters in Part II are aligned with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines for the four components of health and fitness: warm-up and stretching, cardiorespiratory training, muscular condititioning, and flexibilty training. Special focus is given to presentation of muscle groups, joints, and proper exercise techniques. Through an integrated use of illustrations, photos, text, and DVD examples, readers gain an accurate working knowledge of proper exercise technique and the physiology of muscle groups and joints required for each exercise.
Part III provides applied information on specific group exercise class modalities: step training, kickboxing, sport conditioning and functional training, stationary indoor cycling, water exercise, yoga, and Pilates. From technique and basic moves to music selection and safety considerations, these chapters, along with the material on the accompanying DVD, provide clear and dynamic instruction of the components of each modality. In addition, sample routines and class formats for each modality offer a confident strating point for novice instructors and fresh material for veterans. The final chapter discusses customized or hybrid classes such as lifestyle physcial activitybased classes, equipment-based cardio classes, and mind and body classes.
For students and course instructors, the practical assignments and practice drills throughout the text reinforce the content while facilitatng instruction. In addition, the accompanying DVD provides invaluable visual and practical information to help students convert the information presented in the text to applied skills necessary for success in their future professions. When used as a course text, Methods of Group Exercise Instruction, Second Edition, also includes an updated instructor guide and test package, which offer suggestions for effective use of the book and DVD package, lesson plan outlines, a sample week-by-week syllabus, lab activities, and sample test questions. Online course options are also available for those instructors and students who prefer the convenience of online learning.
Methods of Group Exercise Instruction, Second Edition, presents a comprehensive and research-based discussion of the commonalities of all formats of group exercise. This unique and in-depth approach, bolstered by the dynamic learning aids in the accompanying DVD, make this second edition a valuable resource and reference for both preprofessional and professional instructors of any group exercise format.

Quarters is without a doubt our favorite classic drinking game. Some of
us have perfected certain techniques, like rolling the quarter off our

Carlyle is nicely depraved for his limited time onscreen, and Tilda Swinton (Orlando) also deserves notice for playing the twisted yin to his yang as Sal, the covertly tyrannical self-appointed leader of the island's colony. Ledoyen is lovely and clever, but, like much of the movie, her character and motivations are underdrawn. As for Canet, his task as the jilted boyfriend is hardly enviable or particularly believable. The best work comes from the colony as a whole, mildewy Benetton models who perfectly represent the spooky ironies of eternal holiday-making. Though there's something inherently vulgar about a skanky white guy with a dirty guitar crooning Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," the montage of everyone desperately ordering provisions from the mainland (tampons, painkillers, beef curry) is a chunk of art in itself.
The Beach is a pretty cool movie in execution, with gorgeous photography (do more erotic scenes, Danny!), and whatever ecological crises ensued during its production do not appear on the screen. One could make a case that the characters' golly-gee wonder over a bit of white sand and blue water makes the reaction shots of Jurassic Park seem restrained. One could also posit that there's something genuinely psychotic about a young American man who can dismiss violent death as casually as Richard does. But this movie is about generating the illusion of depth for the multiplex, a slice of Sociology 101 set to a rave beat in the tropics. Aldous Huxley would have yawned, but most audiences will probably groove to it.

Consider the argument that we need to see if Donald can hit because he may be the future SHORTSTOP for this team. If I remember right, this is Cabrera's fourth year in the bigs and is ticketed for free agency in 2014. His salary just bumped from $444,000 last year to $2.05 million this year (they agreed this year avoiding arbitration). Another solid year at the plate and they may not be able to even afford him NEXT year if it heads towards arbitration again.
So don't narrow your scope of thinking that Donald, Kipnis and Phelps are fighting for JUST the 2B spot of the future. Is there any talk of the "future" SS in the lower minors yet?
Wasn't Seely also designated as an "Assistant Head Coach"? Perhaps he was not going to be able to carry the same designation and have a role beyond ST?
We're not in meetings, so just because a guy leaves doesn't necessarily mean there is trouble.
While I won't argue whether or not he is the best ST coach in the league... why was he available to Eric Mangini to be hired in the first place? Coming into an organization in complete disarray and shambles would not be your first or even 10th choice... yet he left the Patriots (if I recall right) to come here and then they added the AHC tag to his title.
Not sure I agree that Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez make the Hall of Fame.
You make supposition that getting better means scoring a ton of more points. But a run first, run second, throw short on third down philosophy does not equate to scoring a ton of more points. Improving upon last year wasn't hard to do, improving upon this year will be harder because it should be less on talent and all on strategy, match ups, execution and adjustments. Mangini's rap has been the INability to make in-game adjustments.
And are you telling me that next year with improved talent he won't mismanage the clock in the last two minutes? Are you saying he will recognize when a player is regressing and quickly replace him? Are you saying that for no apparent reason he won't play a player who has proven success?
Let's pull a twist on Terry's "Talking to myself" columns...
Q. Why has Holmgren been so quiet over the last month?
A. Hard to fathom because he has spoken up at other points in the season when fans/media was restless. He has been noticeably quiet lately... which leads to the next question...
Q. If Mangini is Holmgren's coach of the future, why hasn't he defended his coach during these "tough" losses?
A. I think Holmgren has already made up his mind, and it isn't to keep him. Holmgren very pointedly defended Mangini at other points in the last year but has been very silent. I think there are deep philosophical divides in Berea and 2010 was the chance to see if Mangini's method would work. Remember we don't know what was said, promised, offered or otherwise at the end of last year to keep Mangini as coach. Holmgren said all the right things in public, but what was said behind closed doors that we will never know?
Q. How can you be sure Mangini's being fired?
A. Can't be sure, but Mangini has as much told us so. Mangini has said the last few weeks that on Mondays after games he hasn't talked to Holmgren (or so he's said to the media), why the meeting then THIS Monday? With the season over, there is plenty of time to begin to have review meetings. Why the urgency of Monday morning when they haven't lately? He also mentioned his own kid talking about having to move. Surely this is not the first time his kid has heard that (presuming he's heard people talk of firing his dad before). So why now? Unless this is talk that has been heard at home among the adults.
Q. Is the failure to win close games this year still a sign of improvement?
A. Yes, but I think you can point to personnel making that difference, not the coaching philosophies or strategies. Would the Browns be a top 10 team in take-aways with Brandon McDonald and Eric Wright as your starting corners? Without TJ Ward as safety? Without Gocong and Fujita as linebackers? Would the Browns have beaten the Saints and Patriots with Brett Ratliff at QB (remember McCoy was all Holmgren). Improved personnel led to closer games.
Q. So how can you not think that Mangini could improve with better players again next year?
A. Would the Browns have won one or two games had Haden been put into places where Wright was repeatedly burned? Mangini takes too long to adjust to some players failures (Wright, Delhomme) and too short on others (Quinn/Anderson stuff last year). Haden wasn't owed a starting job coming off the street, but Ward earned his and Haden wasn't that far behind. Sticking with Eric Wright cost the team games. That's a coaching decision.
Sulking or not, Jerome Harrison rattled off a lot of yards at the end of last year. Imagine how good he would have looked in the last few games over Bell? What about 2-back sets with both Harrison and Hillis? If Hillis cannot go against Pittsburgh, you are looking at Bell and ?????? as running backs. Talk this week is having Cribbs line up as RB or maybe signing a practice squad guy or a street free agent. How in the world can you be short on RB in the NFL? That's coaching decisions.
Q. Still, why fire a coach for shortcoming on the personnel side that weren't his fault?
A. Some of these are his fault from his cleaning of house last year. Mo-Mass and Robiskie are 3rd WR's on most teams and Mangini's blunders a year ago. He was given a chance to "coach them up" this year to prove his picks worthy. The improvement you see is that Mo-Mass and Robiskie have chances to become very good 3rd down slot receivers for playoff caliber teams.
Holmgren said a year ago that "this is a passing league" and he sees an offensive philosophy that is 2 downs in a cloud of dust and a 4-yard out route on 3rd down and can't be happy. Why did the Browns pass on WR's in free agency or even during first few weeks of the season? Because Holmgren said that he would not give his coach a player he didn't want. Mangini doesn't want WR's as a feature in the offense. Holmgren is a gunslinger.
Q. But Mangini was able to give up his power base last year to keep his job, surely he'd agree to a new offensive coordinator?
A. Mangini agreed to changes to allow him to prove himself to the boss. He didn't. When you see Tampa, KC, St. Louis and Detroit make huge gains from a year ago, when you see Miami's and Arizona's go from horrid to playoffs in one year, you don't need a lot of time. Mangini should have won several games this year that play-calling, personnel decisions and clock management made big differences in the outcomes.
Q. But we keep changing coaches, at some point you need to have some stability don't you?
A. Cleveland has had lots of stability at being poor to mediocre. Besides, Rob Ryan fully expects to be coaching somewhere else as a head coach (another clue, BTW, about what's coming). So you may need a new DC anyway. So if the fans/media expect a new OC and you need to get a new DC, that throws out the "stability" argument. In fact, a new head coach with his own OC/DC makes sense.
More importantly this upcoming season is tailor made for Holmgren to step back in to coaching. There may be NO football this coming season. If he steps in and coaches himself, the Browns are NOT paying two coaches for next year. If the season is thwarted over labor issues, you are not paying a coach to do nothing.
A lot of folks keep saying this team has "made progress" from last year. But is that really true?
- Jerome Harrison ran like a madman the last month of the season... and had nothing for this year. Peyton Hillis ran like a madman to 1,000 yards... and has been pretty much stopped dead since.
How is this progress? Different back, same results... partial season of outstanding running, but not a full season. What would the offense look like had Peyton Hillis blew out his knee in week 9?
- The right side of the O-Line had problems in the first half of last year... the right side of the O-Line looks a lot like that the last half of this year. How is this progress?
- One QB (Delhomme) did not look all that different than last year's versions. One did pretty good until injury (Wallace) and the other only came to be because #1 and #2 got injured. What if we never got to Colt this year? And even so... has the play calling improved from last year? How is that progress?
- Josh Cribbs last year returned everything for a ton of yardage and was an offensive weapon in the wildcat. Between refusing to kick to him and being injured off and on this year his special teams and offensive "threat" was negated... how is that progress?
- Last year Stuckey would catch 3rd down passes 3 yards short of the first down marker. This year he catches them 2 yards short of the first down marker. Technically progress, but still not converting.
- The defense last year and this year are not able to stop teams with balanced offenses. Teams that had little run ability (NE, NO) couldn't figure out the amoeba defensive schemes... but teams that could run negated that... both years. How is that progress?
What we see in "progress" is this:
- A QB (McCoy) who as a rookie can read defenses and adjust the schemes to produce better results.
- A RB (Hillis) who can blow a linebacker three feet off the ball if he can get beyond the line of scrimmage
- A Safety who can hit and defend
- A CB who can cover any receiver in the league
- LB's who can cover the run and pass (Gocong, Fujita) and pressure the QB (Roth, Benard)
These are NOT the results of coaching "progress", but instead personnel decisions. Other than Roth and Benard, every other "improvement" this year was the result of the FRONT OFFICE finding better players.
With or without Mangini, I would expect "progress" again next year as they should find 3 more draft picks to become starters and 2 more FA's as well. That's five better players.
So is "progress" really on the coaches or front office?
When I watch other NFL teams play football, I see receivers doing 5 yard outs... except the Browns. I see posts and fly's attempted (even if not caught) that change the pace. Bubble screens... slants...
From the Browns you see possession receivers do crossing routes 2 yards shy of the first down marker and tight ends working the seams.
The Browns have little of this. So here's the question... is it because the talent is not good enough (to get open down field, to shake a DB on an out, etc.) or is it because these plays don't exist? You don't see the routes most of the time on TV. Wallace air-balled the sideline routes that were 15+ yards downfield, but you don't see Delhomme passing there. McCoy only rarely.
On other teams I see a 2nd back who differs from the feature back, which changes the pace. Might only get 6-10 touches a game, but it... changes the pace. Harrison was good enough to be that back in the minimum (after what he did last year) but they had to ditch him for a back up RB, not a secondary back.
Are these personnel issues? coaching issues? How can Harrison go from being the stud runner of the last 5 games to being doghoused? How does Evan Moore go from a feature catching TE last year to being an overlooked part-time slot receiver?
There is so much that leaves you going... WTF? It's one thing if they utilized people and they don't do the job (Harrison kind of showed he couldn't), but all you do is scratch your head thinking... why?
If Peyton Hillis wasn't on this team this year... would we even have 3 wins? 32nd ranked defense and all we can do is fumble and stumble? Where's the team that made the Saints and Patriots look bad and took the Jets to the wire? You can't say it's ALL on Colt, can you?
The game hinged on the Hillis fumble more than Delhome's halftime pic. The Browns came out at halftime and continued to march down the field. If we come out with a FG there, the whole game is different...
That's not to say Delhome was good, nor the playcalling stellar in the last 1.5 quarters.
But the Browns did not play a bad GAME, they played a bad quarter and a half. Again... it's not excusing a loss that should have been a win.
I'm just not ready to throw the season, front office, coaches and quarterback under the bus this morning.
If Hillis doesn't put the ball on the ground, and we score a TD then we win that game... even if everything else played out like it did.
I've not seen very many people jumping on Hillis for losing the game, but Delhome is getting lit up.
Be fair... jump on Delhome (it's deserved) but jump on Hillis too. Having said that... put the ball in his hands more, I want to see if he is a fumbler or a stud. He blew people up yesterday.
There was no problem with Mike Brown... guy won 120 games in 2 years. Danny Ferry did the best he could in putting a "player" with LeBron to try and win here, getting locked into Cap boxes along the way.
LeBron is the reason no FA's would come here. FA's are going to sign long-term deals and if LeBron wouldn't commit, would you commit? Really... who was going to sign a long-term deal two years ago or at the start of last year to join the Cavs when LeBron wouldn't commit?
What superstar in their prime ever left the team they were with? The "icons" never left their teams, or if so at the very twilight of their career. The very best will make everyone better (what did Pippen ever do without Jordan?)... LeBron looked around as if "why can't you get me good players?"
When Asdrubal returns, he won't play everyday while he builds up MLB every-day strength. So between that and giving other players "rest" you can still play Donald and Nix on most days. Both of them can also play 3B and we are all really, really tired of Peralta anyway. Maybe they will find some poor schmuck to give us an "upside" low A-ball player for him. You can also bring up Goedert (if Peralta is dealt) and let him get his "cup of coffee" in the bigs for a little bit.
You can't forget about where Martinez is now... consider that if Martinez is having this season FOR Cleveland... knowing they cannot afford to keep him... what is his worth in a trade RIGHT NOW? Not what we got for him last year.
Same for Cliff Lee... When Philly spun him to Seattle, they got LESS back than what we got from Philly. How's that Drabek working out for Toronto? He was supposed to be the most MLB ready pitcher... and hasn't yet.
Cliff Lee, coming off injury... would not be worth what we got last year now.
How do you think Seattle feels about those Eduardo Perez and Benny Broussard trades for Choo and Cabrera?
Will these guys pan out that we got? Only TIME will tell. This year was never about winning, but sorting it out.
It's all about consistency... at one point Laffey was cruising as a set-up guy... at one point he was lights out as a starter... he is one of those guys that can pitch in either situation. Quit saying his career has been messed up by bouncing around. Plenty of guys can go back and forth and for Laffey, he just needs consistency.
Masterson has the stuff to be a good set-up guy and if that's what he ends up being, the trade is still positive (because of the other pieces acquired if they pan out). They have given him plenty of chances to lock in as a starter.
Just remember... there was this highly touted prospect we got in a trade that was a so-so starter and would win his 12 games a year and nobody cared. He stunk one summer and was sent to AAA... and the next year he won a Cy Young and the year after nearly did it again even after a mid-season trade.
Most pitchers take TIME to develop. So it won't bother me one bit if Masterson goes 5 and 15 this year if there is progress being made and he ends up being a solid player.
LOL... one poster says if we had Cliff Lee we'd be tied with the Twins??? How do you suppose when you've been shut out 4 times and have a team batting average of .223? Lee would be 0-3 just like Masterson, but he'd have a 2.87 ERA... but he'd still be 0-3.
Another poster said ship out the whole team except Sizemore and "Shoo" (Choo)... Sizemore is hitting .220 with NO HR's and 6 RBI's. At least Choo has 4 HR's, but only 13 RBI!
This team couldn't break open a pinata at this point!
T.J. Ward... have you ever seen a highlight reel package on a DB like Ward's played on TV? Or on YouTube? This guy doesn't hit people... he creams them into mush. Things FLY off the guy tackled... I've seen two hits that blew off ball carrier's helmets and several where he tackled with his head on the ball and jammed it out for a fumble. If this kid stays healthy and hits like in college, we're gonna LOVE this kid. All picks are "ifs" but I like this guy a lot and could care less if it was a "reach"
On QB's... Colt McCoy doesn't appear to have QB Diva issues. He had to follow Vince Young in Texas... and succeeded in a very big shadow in a big time program that played big time games a lot. He has plenty of motivation now, slipping so far with so many passing him up. If he never pans out... ok, so the 85th pick in the draft didn't make it. Meh... no drama should unfold here over his pick, no rush to put him in (other than in Cleveland the most popular player on the team is the backup QB).
On the flip side... drama to unfold in Charlotte and Denver now... Charlotte just anointed Matt Young their QB of the future when they cut Delhomme... and then drafted Clausen as... the QB of the future? How's that gonna play in the locker room?
Denver is even better (LOVE IT!)... you have Kyle Orton on a 1-year contract, Brady Quinn (who thinks he can be the QB of the future) and now Tebow, who some say can't succeed at the pro level and some say he will. Either way, your #1 pick on him just upped the drama in a place where the coach shipped out two guys in the last year (Cutler & Marshall) because of their drama???
Love how because one guy didn't work out from one school at a position that automatically nobody else will succeed... skip this guy because Courtney Brown didn't work out? Skip Clausen because Quinn didn't work out?
Not saying you take either with a 1st round #7 selection, but let's at least not write people off because of someone else at that position from the same school that didn't!
Browns... everyone keeps saying we are switching to a WC offense... where's that proof other than Holmgren as team president? Seneca Wallace's first interview said that the offense here was NOT like the WC offense he was used to. Other articles easily Googled say that Holmgren *hates* gadget plays and the "wildcat" offense. Yet Pluto points out the coaching staff is working on long-snap plays for Cribbs AND Wallace in the Wildcat.
Don't expect the Browns offense to be a pure WC offense, but probably last year's offense with some tutoring of WC ideas brought in by Holmgren and his shadow coaching staff he has hired as advisers.
That said... Bernie Kosar said on KNR one day that in watching film he noticed the BOTH QB's were missing open receivers. So the NFL dude that Pluto quoted saying Delhomme had the same number of "bad decision" interceptions vs. DA/BQ tells me that in this system Delhomme *should* be a major upgrade (he should find those open receivers).
Tribe & Branyan... there is only one reason to sign Branyan and pray he works out... you keep Michael Brantley out of the bigs for a half a season to stop the arbitration clock on him. If this season is about building things up, then you don't want him "wasting" time on your dime (their view would be wasting, not mine).
It's a shame, because Brantley could bring people to the park with his youth, speed and energy. He hit .318 with his cup of coffee in the bigs last year... we want more.
and only 8 of 16 games are going to be played where the air is thinner... the other half are road games and not an altitude issue.
Heard Kosar on KNR the other day talking about watching film with Daboll and noting that the "quarterbacks" (note plural usage) would frequently miss OPEN receivers.
THAT doesn't show up in stats anywhere, but does on game film that we never see.
You can say our WR's were awful (perhaps) but maybe they were getting open and the QB's never knew where to look.
We'll see if a new "system" with better receivers (and supposedly better O-line) make Quinn a better QB.
Or maybe... BQ stands for "Bad Quarterback" and DA stands for Disastrous Accuracy...
Ya'll assume this means moving up to draft a QB... maybe not... maybe it's a move to get some real talent in lots of areas in a talent rich draft.
Don't assume just because someone is panning of speculation as reporting on ESPN, FOX, etc.
Folks, we were 5-11 last year... and not sure how we won that many.

Hi-I need a very very warm ski jacket--is this the one?
Matt Novak
This is one of the warmest and most versitile jackets from The North Face for Girls. The shell is 100% waterproof and windproof for protection from the elements. The inner liner is a great synthetic insulation/"puffy" jacket that traps body heat, keeping you warm and comfortable. The option to wear each layer alone or combine for the really cold days makes this a great pick. Highly recommended!!

After yet another bout of rain, summer is set to make a return
Posted: August 07, 2012|
Cloudless blue skies and sunny spells are on the cards for the end of the week, according to Met Office chiefs.
Following the recent stormy weather with heavy rain and floods, brighter, warmer weather is just around the corner.
Conditions are expected to begin picking-up tomorrow across the Westcountry and by the end of the week proper summer conditions are likely to surface.
However, today more rain was expected across parts of Devon and Cornwall with thick, dull cloud accompanied by cool temperatures.
A spokesman for Exeter-based Met Office, said while showers would persist in parts for the next couple of days they should have evaporated by Friday.
He said: "After (Tuesday) we should be in for a period of settled and dry weather with bright spells across the South West.
"Drier conditions will be seen particularly in the latter part of the week.
"By the middle of the week temperatures in Plymouth will be the most favourable at 21 degrees Celsius. Across Cornwall temperatures will be a degree or two less.
"Coastal areas will be slightly cooler than inland."
By Thursday and Friday most parts of Devon and Cornwall will be mostly dry.
The spokesman continued: "By Friday top temperatures will again be in Plymouth at 23 degrees.
"Generally across the region we're expecting more blue skies and higher temperatures that should make for a nice change after the recent mixed bag of weather we've had."
A break from the seemingly incessant bursts of rain will come as welcome relief to many parts of the Westcountry.
Up until yesterday Environment Agency bosses had flood warnings in place across Devon and Cornwall.
In Devon warnings were issued around a number of spots including the rivers Torridge, Waldon and Lew, including Black Torrington, Milton Damerel and Hatherleigh.
And in Cornwall warnings were out a sites including Newquay, Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin and Bude.
