When you're toy shopping for little kids over the holidays, keep in mind that play has a purpose. Unlike tech toys, choices such as blocks and dress-up clothes tap into a child's imagination.
"Why buy toys when there's Tupperware?" quips one mother of a 4-year-old girl. What the mom has discovered: Less is more. Too many toys are overwhelming. Also, where a toy is placed in the house makes a difference. For example, her daughter enjoyed her kitchen set so much more when she was "cooking" near mommy – but she ignored it when it was in the family's playroom.
"Selecting a toy can be overwhelming," says Sandra Schefkind, pediatric coordinator at the American Occupational Therapy Association. She encourages parents to select toys that will make the most of playtime.
Occupational therapy practitioners are experts in play as it relates to a child's social, physical and cognitive development. Consider these questions when gift-buying for children:
• Is the toy safe and age-appropriate? If the suggested age range is too young for the child, he or she may get bored quickly. If the range is too old, the child may get frustrated and give up, or be exposed to small parts that could pose a safety risk. Be mindful of your own child's strengths, interests and abilities.
• Can the toy be played with in more than one way? Toys that offer unlimited possibilities can tap into the child's creativity. Blocks can be stacked, knocked down, lined up, crashed into and even substituted for play food in a pretend kitchen.
• Can the toy be used in more than one place or position? Toys that are easy to carry or can be used while sitting, standing, or even lying down make play possible anywhere. Crayons, markers, sidewalk chalk or a baby gym can be used in a variety of locations.
• Does the toy involve the use of both hands? Moving parts, buttons and gears encourage activity and movement. Construction toys, craft kits, puzzles, balls, riding toys and toss-and-catch sets promote motor-skill development at different ages.
• Does the toy encourage thinking or solving problems? Board games and science kits offer older kids the chance to use thinking skills in a new way, while shape sorters and puzzles are great for babies and toddlers.
• Does the toy encourage interaction? Dress-up clothes, costumes, playhouses, kitchen sets and tools can all teach cooperation and negotiation while fostering creativity.
• Is the toy worth the cost? Consider its appeal and durability.
To get the most for your money, scour consignment shops for wooden dollhouses with people and furniture; wooden barns with animals and tractors; Matchbox cars with a garage; or play kitchens with pots, pans and play food.
"Children learn best through play," says Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., a child development expert known as "Dr. Toy." "Parents forget that a child's play is their first job in life." Some of her favorite selections are listed in the "Dr. Toy's Best Picks 2012" guide, which is available at drtoy.com. The criteria that Auerbach uses to evaluate toys include:
• Is the toy safe? Does it have any potential hazards, such as sharp edges or loose ties? Is it nontoxic?
• Will it take rough treatment? Can the toy be cleaned or disinfected if needed? What is the return policy?
• Is the product fun?
• Is it well-designed, easy to use and versatile?
• Will it encourage creativity?
• Will the toy frustrate or challenge the child? Does the toy offer something new to learn or to practice? Will it be too difficult without adult assistance?
• Does the toy build eye/hand coordination, fine and large motor skills, or communication?
Another annual resource is "The Toy Insider," co-published by Laurie Schacht. It is available at thetoysinsider.com, and features gift ideas for babies through tweens.

Sure they can pull that much trailer weight, but they can't carry anywhere near that much 5W pin weight. A 27,500 lb 5W RV would load the truck down with a 5500 lbs pin weight! Further, the stated tow ratings do not fully account for frontal area resistance either. The base assumption in the Ford Tow Guide is a max of 75 sq ft of 5W frontal area, but a typical large 5W RV will be more like 100 sq ft. Ford has an entire page in their tow guide on frontal area considerations and says "Exceeding these limitations may significantly reduce the performance of your towing vehicle".
Very rarely do you ever hear that " I have too much Truck.... But you very often hear I wish I had bought the Bigger Truck.... Listen to the people that tow... Many wish they had stepped up a notch, but for everyone who admits that they have too little of a truck there are 5 more that will not admit it...They rationalize their decision and many times are towing an unsafe load behind the truck...By More Truck... You will not regret it....
If you believe you can't have too much truck why aren't we all driving Freightliners or Peterbuilts?
Truck is Lariat supercrew 4x4. No kids, no wife so travel light. (travel with light beer too). Its about 12k loaded and about 2500 on the hitch.
I can not comment specifically on your setup. but I see far too many trailers with an F-150 under them where an F-350 is called for.I've driven an F-350 Custom, Nice truck.
Who ever thought an F-150 would cost $60k?
My 2017 F350 dually rang in at just over 70k on the window sticker100k cdn ( of course i paid way less ) but i never imagined i would spend that sort of money on a truck - an exotic sports car maybe but not a truck, and ive added accessories after the fact, tonnou cover Fuel wheels etc and now i have a truck pymt for 5 yrs - put it out of reach for a lot of people - sad when you think about it
Paid $67K for my F250 on a Monday and paid $45K for my 5W that Saturday. Expensive week but worth it
Your handle is ammotroop. Which branch?
cammo your still overweight - sorry
Thanks Old Gator! Truck GVWR 10,000Truck weight 6,100Hitch is 2,100 ishMe, Girl, Pitbull 350Firewood and gear 1,000Have 450 to spare for beer Trailer is 11.5K ish loaded. Truck is good and had no issues towing the trailer 200 miles from SC.
Guess I should have said 6,100 ish. Truck is good.
How is he overweight? The Trailer GVWR is 12,560 lbs. looks like the max 5th wheel towing capacity is 16,500 and payload is 3400 lbs. 20% of 12,500 is 2512. That would leave him about 900 lbs for people and cargo in the truck.
no way is payload 3400lbs on a F250 Cougar says hitch is 2165 THATS EMPTY and an "average ship weight" bet the actual unit is way higher Ford brochure says my payload is is 6540 but REAL PAYLOAD as per the door decal is 1300 lbs less than that what does the sticker say
Cougar says trailer GVWR is 12,500 lbs. I took 20% of that and came up with 2500 lb pin weight. Ford says the CCC for his truck is 3400 lbs. if that is correct he will be fine. In any case he is comfortable with his truck and trailer combination. IMHO there are many on this forum that think they are experts when in fact they are just weekend warriors like the rest of us. I have heard numerous folks here say "you can't have too much truck". But when I say why don't we all drive Peterbuilts or Freightliners the response I get is they are too expensive. If he comes back and says he has reevaluated the situation and says he is opting for a bigger truck, then so be it. Until then I am taking his word that he believes it is safe and he is comfortable with the combination. For those that aren't comfortable with his decision maybe you should ask for his itinerary and take an opposite route.
Good grief...the weight cops hijacked another 1/2 ton thread now attacking another member with a 3/4 ton truck

The rest of the article is available on limited access:By 2084, will Islam rule the world?
The novelist Boualem Sansal foresees the universal caliphate becoming a grim reality within the next two generations
2084: The End of the World Boualem Sansal, translated from the French by Alison Anderson
Europa Editions, pp.240, £11.99
Boualem Sansal's prophetic novel very clearly derives its lineage from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. A totalitarian surveillance state, a fundamentalist religious autocracy, is portrayed as being totally intolerant of free-thinkers. This is a powerful satire on an Islamist dictatorship. It is unsurprising that Sansal's writings are censored in his native Algeria.
The religious structure of the political state is familiar. The one true god is Yolah and his prophet or 'Delegate' is Abi. Abi's book, the Gkabul, is the foundation of the religion; it is sacrosanct and immutable. Places of worship are mockbas and the nation is named Abistan after the true disciple. There are nine calls to prayer each day. An official language has been instituted, Abilang. Orwell's Newspeak chimes in the memory.
The state's hierarchy mimics regimes we recognise. Abistan has its supreme leader, its Just Brotherhood, its Apparatus, ministries that oversee every aspect of society; they all watch over a cowed and depressed population. Anyone who is detected dissenting from established views, by official investigation or by the evidence of informers, is arrested and taken for public execution by stoning or beheading to one of many stadiums. Women are hardly noticeable and rarely mentioned; their masks and burniqabs render them 'fleeting shadows'.
Michel Houellebecq's subtle, threatening, frightening novel Submission imagines the democratic takeover of France by Islamist politicians. 2084 follows on, and has terrifying implications for the entire world.

For episodic photos check out: 'House' Season 7 Photos: 'Office Politics', 'A Pox On Our House', & 'Small Sacrafices'
At the behest of the boisterous fans of Fox's hit medical drama House, we are trying out a new feature for the site, entitled "You Ask, We Answer." In it, we will be answering questions that fans of popular television series have regarding upcoming episodes - episodes that we have been able to screen in advance.
For the inaugural installment, we will be taking questions regarding the Nov. 8 and Nov. 15 episode of House, "Office Politics" and "A Pox On Our House." In both episodes, Amber Tamblyn guest stars as Thirteen's replacement and, as usual, provides House with a new proverbial toy to play with.
If you have a question, please leave it in the comments below and I will answer it to the best of my ability. While I'm unable to reveal any "major" spoilers, I know (from experience) that House fans are interested in more than just the major elements that may or may not be contained within each episode. ("Office Politics" may have some of those elements). Eitherway, I will try my best and perhaps even use a little innuendo to get around any "big" questions.
To better help you understand what each episode is about, we have included the episodic descriptions below.
Preview: "Office Politics"
In the midst of a Senate re-election race, the incumbent's campaign manager mysteriously falls ill with liver failure and temporary paralysis. When Cuddy pushes House to hire brilliant medical student Martha Masters (guest star Amber Tamblyn) in Thirteen's absence, House and the team become wary of the young doctor's lack of experience and medical perspective but are forced to give their new by-the-book teammate a chance to prove herself. After a surprising campaign announcement is made by the incumbent, House and the team look to the candidate to find clues about the patient's condition. Meanwhile, Foreman learns that Taub has a past connection to Masters, and in an effort to save his patient's life, House must make a critical decision that may compromise his relationship with Cuddy.
Preview: "A Pox On Our House"
After a 200-year-old medicine jar found on an off-shore shipwreck shatters in a teenage girl's palm, she is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro for symptoms closely linked to smallpox, prompting the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to take action to isolate the virus. After Dr. Dave Broda (guest star Dylan Baker) from the CDC institutes a lockdown on the hospital and suspends the team's ability to confirm a diagnosis, Masters grows suspicious of Broda's motives and is convinced the patient is suffering from a different disease and must prove that she belongs on House's team and earn his trust. When the patient's father experiences similar symptoms, House is forced to make a precarious decision that puts his own life in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) and Sam (guest star Cynthia Watros) comfort a 6-year-old chemotherapy patient who prompts them to examine their own relationship.
Questions and Answers:
Q: Anything good going on with Cuddy? Or is it just mainly focusing on Amber Tamblyn?A: With Amber Tamblyn joining the team, the episode is very much about her initial interactions with House and the team, but make no mistake, Cuddy is very much a part of that.
Q: All I wanna know is whether the POTW & case is interesting or not and if there are some great Huddy moments in it.A: I really enjoyed the case of the week, I thought it was really well crafted and with Jack Coleman (HRG from Heroes) as the POTW, he really delivered. In regards to Huddy, there are some really great moments.
Q: Is Amber Tamblyn's character more like a Cuddy than a Cameron or 13?A: Tamblyn plays Martha Masters, who is literally a genius. She's also very "by-the-book," but that doesn't mean she's not able to adapt. She's a mixture of the best elements of Cuddy, Cameron and 13 - with a little sass thrown in for good measure.
Q: Some bed scenes with grandpa and grandma?A: Both episodes have House and Cuddy in the hospital throughout.

Cape Dorset, Nunavut Territory, Canada
(1949- )
Nuna was born near Cape Dorset and lived with his adoptive parents, the graphic artists Parr and Eleeshushe. The family moved to Cape Dorset in 1960, after Parr was injured in an accident, and the young Nuna started carving while he was still in school. His interest in hunting and his regard for the animal life of the Arctic are directly reflected in his work. His rounded forms have great movement and a natural flow with the grain of the stone, as if both were made for each other. He has been carving for forty years, and his work continues to be shown nationally and internationally.

Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective on April 15, 2010 for current users, and upon acceptance for new users.
j2 Global Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") are dedicated to establishing trusting relationships with our users by respecting their personal identity and by promoting the use of fair information practices. This privacy policy ("Policy") covers the Onebox Web Site, www.onebox.com ("Site"), and all Services offered now or in the future through the Site ("Services"). For purposes of this policy, "Onebox account" is defined as the account through which you access the Services.
We do not share information obtained from users through our Site or Services with third parties except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Policy.
In this Policy we describe the following:
- What personally identifiable information the Company collects.
- How the Company uses the information and with whom the Company may share user information.
- What choices are available to users regarding collection, use and distribution of the information.
- What types of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of this information to the extent under the Company's control.
- How users can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
- How we will notify you of any changes to this Policy.
- The Company's participation in the Safe Harbor program.
- The Company's data retention practices.
Information Collection:-
The Company collects information from its users at several different points on the Site and through the Services, both directly from the user (including through interactions with Customer Service) and through the use of cookies, log files and clear gifs.
- Registration
In order to use the Services, you must first complete the registration process. During registration you are required to provide contact information (such as name, phone number and email address), and to select a password. We use this information to contact you about the Services and other services offered by the Company for which you have expressed interest or that you might be interested in. If you begin but fail to complete the registration process for Onebox Services, we may contact you in an effort to help you sign up for Onebox or another Company service.
A user must also provide financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customers' orders. If we have trouble processing an order and/or collecting payment, the contact information is used to contact the user.
- Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
Usage of a cookie is not linked to any personally identifiable information while on the Site except if you choose to store your user name and password so that you do not have to enter it each time you access your account. Then a persistent cookie will be stored on your computer which is linked to your account information.
If you reject the persistent cookie, you may still use the Site but you will be limited in some areas of it. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on the Site. See the "Profile" section below.
Some of our business partners (for example, advertisers) may use cookies on the Site or in emails or in our advertisements on other Web sites. The cookies are not linked to any personally identifiable information. This Policy covers the use of cookies by the Company and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. Our advertisers have their own privacy policies which you should consult.
- Log Files
Like most Web sites, our servers use log files to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movements in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. These log files are not linked to personally identifiable information.
- Clear Gifs
Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and we may use them to track the online movements of our users. Clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller than cookies, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to users' personally identifiable information. We may also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out of receiving these emails, please see the "Choice/Opt-out" section below.
- Profile
We may store information that we collect through cookies, log files and clear gifs to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences and Services usage. Third parties may also furnish us with additional information about your preferences. Consequently, information may be tied to the user's personally identifiable information to improve the content of the Site for the user, and to direct pertinent product updates and marketing promotions to them if they have opted in to receive those promotions. We do not share personally identifiable elements of your profile with third parties, your profile would only be shared in aggregate form.
- Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have personal information of a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our systems.
For tips on protecting children's privacy online, please the FTC's Web site (http://ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/tech/tec08.shtm).
Use of Personally Identifiable Information:-
- Legal, Security and Safety
The Company does not release personally identifying information about our customers or monitor, edit or disclose the contents of a user's private communications through the Services except where the Company in good faith believes that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or where we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us; (2) investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activity; (3) protect and defend the rights or property of the Company; or (4) to protect the personal safety of our users or the public. For example, we may disclose personal information to law enforcement, other government officials or third parties in response to criminal or civil subpoenas. Sometimes, these subpoena requests come from our third party Internet, telecommunications and collocation providers all over the world who supply the network required for us to deliver our Services. In order to maintain the integrity of our network, we often cooperate with requests from these third party providers and/or requests from law enforcement or other governmental officials directed to these providers. In cases where the Company believes that disclosure of any information about a user (including account information) is necessary, we reserve the right to disclose all information in our possession about such user.
- Civil Subpoena Policy
To request customer information from the Company in a civil case, you must serve the Company with a valid subpoena, court order or search warrant and agree to the Company's terms of compensation below.
All civil subpoenas should be directed to:
j2 Global Communications, Inc.
Subpoena Department
6922 Hollywood Boulevard
5th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90028
Fax: 1-323-446-8660
Upon receipt of a valid subpoena, it is the Company's policy to notify the subscriber whose information is sought. In non-emergency circumstances, the Company will generally not produce the subpoenaed subscriber's identity information until approximately two weeks after receipt of the subpoena, unless a formal objection is filed by the customer or we are legally required to do so.
The Company charges $90.00 per hour for research (plus additional fees if testimony or deposition is required), $0.25 per page, and $22.00 to respond via Federal Express. We will invoice the person or entity submitting the subpoena following receipt and the subpoena proponent must make payment within 15 days from the date of receipt of our invoice. Checks should be made out to j2 Global Communications, Inc.
- Civil Subpoena Policy
- Provision of Services
Users should also be aware (and hereby agree) that certain technical processing of and access to fax, voice and email messages and their content may be required to: (a) provide the Services, including without limitation, routing and indexing the messages; (b) conform to connecting networks' technical requirements; (c) prevent or minimize disruptions to the Services; or (d) conform to other similar requirements.
- Special Offers
We send all new customers a welcoming email to verify their information (name, address, phone number, plan type). Established users will occasionally receive other emails containing Company information about Company's other services and third party services that are likely to be of interest to our customers ("Promotional Emails"). Users may opt-out of receiving Promotional Emails. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections. We might also contact you by other communication channels such as telephone or direct mail.
- Product Updates, Newsletters, Service Announcements
We might also send you emails or newsletters which contain usage tips, product updates or updates to the Customer Agreement or this Policy. If necessary, we will also send you Service-related announcements. For instance, if a Service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we may send users an email. Users cannot opt-out of these non-promotional communications unless they deactivate their account.
- Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested Services and regarding issues relating to users' accounts. We reply via email, phone, Web chat or other available method, in accordance with the user's wishes.
- Abuse; Spam and Junk Faxes
The Company has a zero tolerance policy for abuse. While we cannot be responsible for external communications received through Company Services, it is our intention to use all legally available means to prevent use of the Services for any illegal purpose, including but not limited to distribution and receipt of unsolicited commercial faxes ("junk faxes"). We also specifically restrict users from taking any actions which impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Company's resources. We ask that any users who are annoyed by receipt of such junk faxes or otherwise impacted by illegal use of the Services to please report such activity to the Company's Customer Service at 866-761-8108 in the US and outside of the U.S. at 323-817-3203.
- Third Party Intermediaries; Supplementation of Information
In order for the Company to properly fulfill its obligations to users, it is necessary for us to use services of third parties and to supplement the information we receive with information from third party sources. The Company verifies the billing address on all credit card transactions and may obtain credit reports for some corporate customers. We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for Services. In addition, we may use third parties to host certain portions of our Site and to fulfill certain requests for information from our users. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes and the information obtained from these third party sources is maintained in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
User Choices Regarding Collection, Use and Distribution of Information.
- Business Transitions
In the event the Company goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be included as part of the assets transferred. If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given a choice not to have their information used in this different manner, as described in the notification of changes section, below.
- Choice/Opt-Out
Users are given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving Promotional Emails by clicking on the opt-out link that is provided at the bottom of each Promotional Email. In addition, some third party advertisers may provide advertisements about Company services on other Web sites. If you would like more information about receiving our advertisements on other Web sites, or would like to opt out of this practice, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.
- Links
This Policy applies solely to information collected by the Company through the Site, the Services and Customer Service. The Company has advertising and affiliate relationships with dozens of third party sites which drive interested parties to our Site. Information that is collected on their Web sites does not fall within this Policy. The Company may also have co-brand relationships with some Web sites. A Web site is a co-brand of the Company if it offers Company technology or services to its users under a different brand. The Co-Branded Web sites will have their own privacy policies specific to each site, and the user should read them carefully before registration.
- Surveys
Periodically, users might be asked to participate in surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address) and demographic information (such as zip code). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Company's Services. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and a choice to opt-out. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys, they may not use customers' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
- Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our Services, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. The Company will automatically send the friend a one-time email on your behalf inviting them to visit the Company's Site. The Company stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.
The Company takes every reasonable precaution to protect its user's information. When users submit sensitive information via the Site or through interactions with Company personnel, their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is protected with encryption software called SSL.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also employ security measures to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerks or a Customer Service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.
Changing Your Credit Card Information or Cancelling Your Service
If a user's credit card information changes (such as name, address or credit card number), users can change their credit card information by logging into their Onebox Account online and going to Information and Options. If a user wants to terminate their Service, they must call Customer Service.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our Policy in a non-material way, we will post those changes in this Policy, and other places we deem appropriate, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we change our Policy in a material way, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner.
Safe Harbor
The Company is a participant in the Safe Harbor program developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Union. We have certified that we adhere to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles agreed upon by the U.S. and the E.U. For more information about the Safe Harbor and to view our certification, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor Web site. https://www.export.gov/safeharbor.
Data Retention
The time period for which we keep information varies according to how we use the information. In some cases, there are legal requirements to keep data for a minimum period. Unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to keep the information, we will retain it for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or for which it is to be further processed.

Aloha, bitches! The boyfriend and I have just returned from a luxuriously lengthy leisure-time in Moku'āina o Hawai'i – specifically, the islands of Maui and Moloka'i. What will follow, over a course of weeks, is my travelogue. SPOILER ALERT: I survive to write this paragraph you're reading.
Thursday. June 16, 2011.
Nothing makes me wistful for days gone by like traveling by plane. I'm old enough to remember a time when you could escape your reasonably comfortable seat for a small, smoking lounge and make small-talk with other passengers. Meals were included and expected, complimentary playing cards were practically forced on you, and bathrooms were more than one square inch larger than my skeleton.
Traveling by plane was a luxury, like taking a limo, pre-ordering a soufflé, or soaking in salt crystals made from blood diamonds. There was an implied dignity – it was something to look forward to: to be seated and be served.
Before the terrorists won.
Cut to: me and my boyfriend frantically racing to gut our backpacks and pockets of anything shiny and throwing them in large, grey tubs – Will my lip balm set off the alarm? Better throw it in, just in case…; stripping ourselves of shoes and spectacles, praying to a God that doesn't exist we aren't targeted to be put through the x-ray, knowing we'd refuse and have to succumb to the most unfulfilling massage imaginable; finally making it to our gate to find the two flights before us have been delayed since dawn, so the terminal is as absolutely packed with weary bodies, looking like some alternative concentration camp where people actually gained weight.

text: Recently, I've read about two engineers/producers - Ken Caillat (in his book "Making Rumours", about the Fleetwood Mac album) and Alan Parsons in an issue of Premiere Guitar from last year (hey, I'm behind - one of these years I'll get to those 2009 issues of Acoustic Guitar and VIntage Guitar!). Both of them said the same thing - that one of the big reasons they feel that older recordings sound better is because they were limited in the number of tracks they had to work with, so they had to figure out what sound they needed and commit to it, as opposed to what we can do today, which is record a bunch of different possibilities or leave ourselves some flexibility until later in the process, only to become bogged down in potential choices. So, for those of you who record - do you print or ponder? Do you get your sound and record it and work with that, or do you record a drier sound and make your processing decisions later? I tend to print - I'll record most of my effects while I play, maybe adding some reverb or something later in the process, but for the most part, what I record tends to be my target sound. One of the few exceptions (for non-MIDIed instruments) is acoustic guitar - I usually run that through an Aphex exciter after recording, and then maybe through reverb or modulation.

I would be in favor of all but possibly one of the suggestions listed above, depending. If the moderator-only accessed areas means what i think it means, then I don't like this one idea, because it defeats the whole purpose of having such an area.
As for fees, well, I'm an awful businesswoman, but how much a year would it cost to run and maintain a special, ad-free forum? That would be the only way I could mathematically figure what a fair subscription would be, or even if it would be worth offering such a thing. That is, if I were smart enough to do the math!
OH! More picture space would be nice, too!

Colleges and Universities Official Template
Unless an official site is the only site in the main category for a school or in one of the subcats, it can be cooled.
Admissions - Includes information about and for prospective students. This category would also house all of the deep links about the university from informative sites such as www.review.com and US News and World Report.
Administration - Covers offices and support areas for colleges and universities, as well as general administrative offices.
Alumni - Includes resources specifically directed at alumni. A further category named "Regional" may be established for sites that cater to alumni in specific regions.
Athletics - The official university athletic site should be listed. @ links to school-sponsored athletics and sport teams which reside in Sports/College_and_University/ should be placed in the category. Unofficial sports clubs (i.e., teams that are NOT officially sanctioned by the athletic department) DO NOT belong in this cat. They should be moved to Student Organizations.
Departments and Programs - Subcats need to be created for all individual schools and colleges. The listings for each department should be found under the college or school it is affiliated with. If any college or school has pages for individual programs please create an individual Programs subcat (if this is confusing please see Reference/Education/Colleges_and_Universities/North_America/United_States/ New_Jersey/Princeton_University/Departments/ for an example). If a school has no such academic subdivisions, then all departmental listings should go directly under Departments and Programs, a separate Programs cat does need to be created though.
Libraries and Museums - Covers all campus libraries and museums from individual academic libraries and museums to main branches.
Organizations - Includes campus organizations and clubs - both student and otherwise. A Greek Life subcat should also be created (if necessary). All fraternities and sororities (if they exist) should be included in this category. Since many large institutions have more than 100 club sites it will be necessary to categorize them further. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
Publications and Media - Includes campus publications as well as news and/or media about the institution.
Research - Includes specific research efforts and/or studies. All Centers and Institutes should be placed in this cat.

I want to discuss whether ball tampering still exists till now. I have seen wasim akram, waqar, shoaib,and many pakistanis along with ganguly scratching the ball. but recently hvent seen any one do that.
does it still exist
firstly i dont know what u r asking, are u asking if ball tamering still exists or reverse swing?......if it was about reverse swing, then just look at my avtar....
Twitter @3Bouncers
whos actually bowling in that pic of urs?
looks like waqar from here
whered you get that footage bouncer??
Jesus brings life eternal
Players still throw the ball deliberately across the ground to scuff the ball up, but that's not ball tampering. Reverse swing is everywhere.
Member of MSC - Murali Supporters Club
I'm not too dissimilar a batsman to Bradman.
Both of us have batting averages below 100.
I think the bowler is shoaib Akhar and the batter is none other than Rahul Dravid in Bouncers avatar
Dravid's style and technique is so distinct, it's so obvious that's him in the avatar. I think its Akhtar bowling, but it could be Waqar.
"I am very happy and it will allow me to have lot more rice."
Eoin Morgan on being given a rice cooker for being Man of the Match in a Dhaka Premier Division game.
That definately is Shoaib Akhtar bowling. And if I'm not wrong, the ball played in the avatar was followed by another yorker, which found Sachin's stumps...
If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a nonworking cat. - Douglas Adams
If anyone seriously thinks they've eliminated ball-tampering they're kidding themselves as much as anyone who thinks they've eliminated match-fixing or terrorism.Originally Posted by rabbit

That's an awesome amount of swing with a 4 piece ball! (Not saying it can't be done by the way, just that it's very impressive!) Fleming used to swing in considerably at times too, just not at the same pace (that's Damien not Stephen, haha - a blast from the past).Originally Posted by Bouncer
Reverse swing is created by applying saliva to the shiny side of the ball late in the innings isn't it? At least that was what I was taught.

there is nothing greater or exciting then this sort of bowling....those deliveries that Akhtar bowled to get rid of Dravid and Sachin at Eden Gardens in 1999. It just blows your mind away.Originally Posted by biased indian

Before he was the world's most famous drag queen, RuPaul was just a kid growing up in San Diego, California. But he knew something was different about him. He noticed things that other people didn't. He found joy in the irreverence of characters like Bugs Bunny, and TV shows like Monty Python's Flying Circus. When he was still in his teens, he packed his bags and followed his sister to Atlanta. He attended performing arts high school, and a brief stint as a car salesman, he started performing with a couple of underground bands. They were searching for a way to be subversive, and decided to perform in drag. RuPaul found that something clicked -- both for himself, and for the audience.
He spent years performing and appearing on public access TV, but he became an international star with his 1992 hit single, "Supermodel".
Recently, he's hosted RuPaul's Drag Race, a reality competition series featuring RuPaul as host and mentor to the contestants as they battle to become America's next drag superstar. Drag Race is now in its seventh season on LOGO TV.

Terry Crews has taken a pretty unconventional path. He played football in college, but he didn't go on scholarship, and joined the team as a walk on. He played in the NFL for years as a linebacker with the Rams and the Chargers, but when he was done, he didn't become a sports commentator.
Instead, Crews went back to one of his first loves -- the arts. And while he continues his devotion to his workout regimen, he now uses his physicality in his work as an actor. He's worked steadily in a string of movies like The Longest Yard and The Expendables, and adds a tough-but-caring element to his characters in TV shows like Everybody Hates Chris and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
You can see him now as an essential part of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's ensemble as the police detective and family man, Sergeant Terry Jeffords.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine airs Sunday nights on FOX.
Crews is also the author of a memoir, called Manhood: How to Be a Better Man - or Just Live with One.
This week, Crews tells us about growing up in Flint, Michigan, discovering his love of both art and physical fitness, the difficulty of ending an NFL career, and the joys of working on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Oct. 30, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 7 Florida State received good news on the first day of its bye week as three Seminoles – EJ Manuel, Bjoern Werner and Xavier Rhodes – were named as semifinalists for national player of the year awards Monday.
Manuel, a redshirt senior quarterback from Virginia Beach, Va., added 2012 Maxwell Award Semifinalist to his resume as he was chosen one of 16 semifinalists for the 76th Maxwell Award for the Collegiate Player of the Year. He has already been named a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award given to the nation's best college quarterback and is the oldest and most prestigious national quarterback award.
Manuel is putting together one of the best seasons by not only an FSU quarterback but by an Atlantic Coast Conference quarterback. He currently ranks third nationally in passing efficiency (174.03) and 31st in total offense (282.11) as the Seminoles rank eighth nationally in total offense (524.6 ypg), fourth in scoring offense (44.8 ppg) and 24th in passing offense (290.0 ypg).
In 2012, Manuel has completed 70 percent (161-of-230) of his passes for 2,315 yards with 16 touchdown passes and just four interceptions. He's also run for 224 yards and a TD. Manuel is FSU's career leader for completion percentage at 67.3 percent (498-of-740), which also currently makes him the all-time ACC leader for career completion percentage. His 6,659 career passing yards ranks fifth all-time in FSU history and his 40 career touchdown passes puts him ninth all-time at FSU. He is averaging 14.4 yards per completion in 2012 and 13.4 yards per completion in his career. For his career, Manuel is 21-5 as a starter including 15-2 in his last 17 starts and 13-3 against ACC opponents. He is just the eighth FSU quarterback to win at least 20 games in a career.
Werner, a junior defensive end from Berlin, Germany, was chosen as one of 16 semifinalists for the 18th ChucK Bednarik Adward presented by Cracker Barrel for the Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year. Werner and teammate Cornellius "Tank" Carradine are semifinalists for the Rotary Lombardi Trophy given to the top college lineman of the year.
Werner leads FSU with 12.5 tackles for loss and ties for the ACC and team-lead in sacks (8.0) with Carradine. He has 27 total tackles (20 solo, seven assisted) while adding five quarterback hurries, five pass break-ups and one forced fumble to the nation's No. 2 defense. FSU also ranks third nationally in rushing defense (72.89 ypg), scoring defense (12.0 ppg) and fourth in pass efficiency defense (90.89). In just 36 career games, Werner has already amassed 15.5 sacks, 29.5 TFL and 14 passes batted down. His 29.5 TFL ties for 15th all-time at FSU.
Rhodes, a redshirt junior cornerback from Miami, Fla., is the only ACC player selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award given to the nation's top defensive back. One of top lockdown corners in the country, Rhodes has accounted for 25 tackles, a team-best two interceptions and a career-high six pass-breakups for the nation's No. 2 defense. FSU ranks fourth in pass efficiency defense (90.89) and sixth nationally in pass defense (154.22) while leading the ACC in both categories. Rhodes anchors a FSU secondary that has held eight of the top 10 receivers in the ACC to a combined 19 catches for 199 yards.
The winners of the 76th Maxwell Award and the 18th Chuck Bednarik Award will be announced as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards Show which will be broadcast on ESPN on Dec. 6, 2012. Three finalists for each award will be announced on Nov. 19, 2012 and a second round of voting will take place at that time. The formal presentation of these awards will be made at the Maxwell Football Club's Awards Gala which will be held on Friday, Mar. 1, 2013 at the Harrah's Entertainment Complex in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Semifinalist voting for both of the collegiate awards presented by the Maxwell Football Club will begin on Tuesday, October 30th and close on Sunday November 18th. Eligible voters include Maxwell Football Club members, NCAA Head Football Coaches, Sports Information Directors and selected national media.
The three Thorpe Award finalists will be named on Monday, Nov. 19 and the winner will be announced at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Dec. 6 airing on ESPN. The winner of the 2012 Thorpe Award will be honored at a banquet in Oklahoma City on Feb. 5, 2013.
Darby, Jones Earn ACC Weekly Honors
Florida State's Christian Jones earned ACC Linebacker of the Week honors after making 11 tackles as the Seminoles limited Duke to a season-low 232 yards in a 48-7 victory. Freshman cornerback Ronald Darby was named the Co-Defensive Back of the Week after playing a key role in a stout Florida State pass defense that limited the Blue Devils to just 129 yards through the air.
Jones, a second-year starter, registered eight of his season-high 11 tackles in the first quarter and three of those were tackles for loss, which eclipsed his previous career-high of two. He finished the night with three tackles for loss, while eight of his 11 tackles were solo stops. Florida State's defense leads the ACC in every major category and ranks second nationally in total defense.
Continuing his season-long role as the first corner off the bench for the Seminoles, Darby a true freshman from Oxon Hill, Md., was instrumental in another shutdown performance by the Florida State defense. He finished with four tackles (three solo stops) and provided solid coverage on a day when Duke's passing game could not get going. Florida state limited Duke quarterbacks to 129 passing yards on a 16 of 37 performance and shut down Blue Devils' receiving star Connor Vernon, who had three receptions for 12 yards. The Seminoles rank fourth nationally in pass efficiency defense (90.89) and sixth in passing defense (154.22 ypg).

Why Book Puppet Shows
We've all made some high-quality sock puppets back in the day. All you needed was a tube sock, two buttons, a permanent marker... and if you were one of those real fancy kiddos... you'd even use yarn for a coiffed hair do. But let's face it, your kids and their friends are not going to enjoy those homemade puppets that you just pulled out of the attic. But they WILL be enthralled by these professional puppeteers. With eye-catching puppets and edge-of-your-seat story telling, your kids will be talking about this puppet show for weeks!

About Booking Puppet Shows
Puppets can make for wonderful entertainment at a variety of events, from kids' birthday parties to corporate events. A puppeteer can operate a puppet indirectly by the use of strings, rods, wires, electronics or directly by his or her own hands. Some puppet styles are so intricate (or so large!) that they require puppeteers to work together as a team to maneuver a single puppet character.
So what steps do you take to hire a puppet show? First, find a puppet show that both you and your child are excited about. For example, what kind of puppets do you want? What story do you want to be portrayed? Next, view online media. Lots of puppeteers have photos or video demos provided on their websites. And lastly, pay attention to detail. Inquire about specifics. Like will you need to provide any a certain amount of space? Follow these tips to bring your event to life!

However, the first Earl of the name, Gillemichel, did emerge by the time of King David I, and he and his descendants had privileges including the right to crown the King of Scotland and to lead the Scottish army.
The MacDuff family traditionally crowned each monarch. But, they were opposed to Robert the Bruce, who gained the throne in 1306. Duncan MacDuff, the Earl of Fife's sister was sent to perform the task. Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan (died c. 1314), sister of Duncan, Earl of Fife did crown Robert the Bruce in March 1306, much to her chagrin. Bruce was defeated at the Battle of Methven in June 1306, so he sent Isabella and other female relatives but they were betrayed Uilleam II, Earl of Ross. Edward I ordered her to be sent to Berwick-upon-Tweed to be caged as a public spectacle. She was caged for four years and is presumed to have died in captivity.
Lord Macduff, the Thane of Fife, is a character in William Shakespeare's Macbeth. The character kills Macbeth in the final act. It is generally thought that Shakespeare drew the character from the Holinshed's Chronicles (1587.)

Seventeen cabs in Manchester were cited for mechanical violations. The 18th was sidelined for failing to show up.
Police Lt. Maureen Tessier said Tuesday six of the 18 cabs had such severe defects including conditions that could compromise their brakes inspectors pulled their registrations and they had to be towed.
Queen City Taxi has surrendered its operating permits to the city clerk's office. The taxi that wasn't inspected belongs to Manchester Taxi Dispatch. The companies haven't commented.
Tessier says officials appreciate the inconvenience to those among the city's 110,000 residents who rely on taxis and will work with the companies to get the taxis back on the road.

Andy Reid's oldest son, Garrett, was found dead this morning in a Lehigh dorm room, where the Eagles hold training camp. It was reported earlier that the head coach was not at practice this morning because of a "personal reason" and the team indicated general manager Howie Roseman would address the media to discuss his absence. The Philadelphia Inquirer noted that the last time Reid missed practice was in 2007 when Garrett was arrested on gun and drug-related charges.
Roseman addressed the media moments ago and announced the news that Garrett Reid was found dead this morning. Lehigh police said there there is no suspicious activity involved, but an investigation continues.
"I have some heartbreaking news to share with you all," an emotional Roseman said. "It is with great sadness that I tell you Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Coach Reid, was found dead this morning in his room here at training camp. This is a tough morning for all us."
Andy Reid requested that camp continue without him.

13) Green Bay Packers at Cincinnati Bengals - Week 3
At some point, Cincinnati has to prove it can beat the best teams. The Bengals tend to take care of business against the teams they're supposed to ... and that's about it. Over the past three seasons, they're 3-9 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. They've also faltered against the Houston Texans, another quality team, over the past two campaigns. That has to change if Marvin Lewis' group is to take the next step. Last season didn't turn around for the Bengals until they beat the visiting New York Giants in Week 10; that victory propelled them to win six of their next seven games and secure a playoff berth.

12) New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins - Week 15
Wouldn't it be, oh I don't know, neat if New England had some competition in the AFC East? The Dolphins spent some green securing the talents of Mike Wallace, Lance Louis, Brent Grimes, Dannell Ellerbe and Phillip Wheeler in free agency. Miami also re-upped key contributors like Brian Hartline and Randy Starks. The nucleus is definitely there.
Of course, they lost some quality football players too, namely Jake Long and Reggie Bush. Long has played at an elite level before, while Reggie Bush produced 1,278 yards from scrimmage last season. But the former All-Pro left tackle had health issues, and Bush didn't fit into the plans with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas on board. The bottom line is, the new-look Fins should be fine.
Either way, much rests on the shoulders of young Ryan Tannehill. More rests on whether or not the Dolphins are going to lay down for the Patriots or finally close the deal.

11) Chicago Bears at Dallas Cowboys - Week 14
Talk to Bears fans about their team's offseason coaching turnover and you'll hear some say they understand or applaud the changes. Then you'll discover a large contingent of those who didn't like seeing defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli -- now coaching the Dallas Cowboys' defensive line -- depart in the aftermath of a 10-6 campaign during which the Bears fell just short of a playoff berth. They feel the Bears' Tampa 2 defensive scheme was what kept them in games in the first place.

10) Pittsburgh Steelers at Green Bay Packers - Week 16
Though they don't hook up often, these franchises are two of the most successful in NFL history. Green Bay was the dynasty of the 1960s, while the Steelers dominated the '70s. Between the two of them, they've also been to 13 Super Bowls -- including Super Bowl XLVII, when Aaron Rodgers tore up Pittsburgh's defense en route to a Packers victory. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since that title matchup, which came down to the final drive -- and the thinking here is that this season's contest will follow the same pattern.
David Drapkin/Associated Press
9) Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens - Week 3
The Texans will arrive at M&T Bank Stadium with one of the best players to have ever laced 'em up in that building: Ed Reed. The All-Pro safety's departure was part of a series of moves -- the club also lost Ray Lewis, Anquan Boldin, Cary Williams and Paul Kruger -- that seemed to signify the Ravens' decline as AFC contenders. But did they? A solid nucleus remains in Baltimore in the persons of Joe Flacco, Ray Rice and the newly acquired Elvis Dumervil. Still, losing Reed's leadership, instincts and ability to direct presnap traffic in the secondary is going to impact the team on several levels.
What's cool about this game -- besides Reed's return in a new uni -- is the fact that these have been two of the AFC's stronger clubs over the past couple of years. The outcome of this one should mean something come Week 17.

8) Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers - Week 14
If Wes Welker's move to Denver was the most surprising development of free agency, Mike Wallace ending up in Miami was the sexiest. Wallace was the closest thing we had to a crown jewel this offseason; with no real quarterbacks of note changing locales on the open market, many fans were anxious to see what would happen with the speedy wideout. Frankly, there wasn't much drama, as Wallace joined the Miami Dolphins -- a team with which he had long been linked -- seemingly seconds into the free agency period. On the field, Wallace figures to provide second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill with a guy who can get down the field, like, now -- the anti-Fasano, if you will.
Associated Press
7) San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins - Week 12
Several elements make this contest one to earmark. The Niners and Redskins each won their divisions thanks partially to spectacular quarterback play from Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III, respectively. The franchises also share much postseason history and -- if you're into such things -- represent a classic clash of 1980s-esque unis. Most importantly, however, who isn't curious to learn whether Kaepernick or RG3 -- as well as the offenses and formations they run, like the "The Pistol" -- are flashes in the pan or the real deal?
Kevin Terrell/Associated Press
6) New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks - Week 13
How much does coach Sean Payton bring to the table for a New Orleans football team that struggled often without him in 2012? Can his presence, game-management acumen and aggressive play-calling compensate for a defense that allowed an NFC-high 28.4 points per game last season? Will Payton's return result in an extra three to four wins, as has often been suggested? We should get some answers after seeing how his Saints team fares in perhaps the toughest place to play in the league. The crowd noise in Seattle demands that an offense be in sync. Yes, the Saints will have Payton roaming the sidelines, but they'll also be without offensive lineman Jermon Bushrod, who left via free agency, meaning the pressure on Drew Brees will be quite high.
By the way, this will mark the first time New Orleans will have played in Seattle since Marshawn Lynch went all "beast mode" during the 2010 playoffs.
Associated Press
5) Denver Broncos at New York Giants - Week 2
Hmm, let's see ... why would this game be interesting? Well, this might be our last opportunity to see big bro take on half-pipe, as Peyton and Eli Manning tee it up for (presumably) the final time in a regular-season matchup. That is, unless the elder Manning continues playing until the AFC West takes on the NFC East again four years from now. Or unless Eli somehow doesn't re-up in New York. Or unless Denver isn't Peyton's last stop. But as none of those scenarios are realistic, this will likely be the last time in NFL history two brothers of this ilk face each other -- at least at the quarterback position, anyway.
Much like Broncos-Patriots, the attractiveness of this contest is partially born of the realization that the hourglass is running out on Peyton Manning's football life. It's worth noting that Denver and New York are also pretty solid football teams.
Mark Humphrey/Associated Press
4) Atlanta Falcons at San Francisco 49ers - Week 16
The inclusion of this one should be cut-and-dried. It's the NFC Championship Game, part deux -- except this time, it'll be at The Stick.
Expectations are high for a Falcons team that has won 36 games over the past three years, tied with the Packers for most in the NFC. So when does Atlanta take the next step? According to Falcons fans, those who doubt are all "haters." Most of the players, however, get it; they know that for the 2013 Falcons, it's Super Bowl or bust, which is why tight end Tony Gonzalez is coming back.
In January, the golden chalice was right there for the taking; with Colin Kaepernick and the Niners' offense sputtering, the Falcons jumped to a 17-0 lead. Julio Jones was playing like Randy Moss circa Thanksgiving '98. A berth in Super Bowl XLVII seemed within reach. And yet, it didn't happen.
Beating the 49ers at their place won't necessarily prove anything, but it would sure be a step in the right direction.

2) Denver Broncos at New England Patriots - Week 12
Of course this game -- which promises to bring former Patriot Wes Welker back to New England -- will have a helluva lot riding on it, at least if 2013 plays out like 2012. You don't need me to tell you that these organizations represent the class of the AFC.
That aside, considering how few head-to-head matchups Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have left in their Hall of Fame careers, this one becomes exponentially more relevant. We tend to take Manning and Brady for granted. It's too bad, too, because there probably hasn't been a better quarterback rivalry in NFL history. Elway-Marino didn't happen enough. Young-Aikman was epic, but was it equal to Manning-Brady? Either way, this is Bradshaw-Staubach in terms of historical relevance. There's also something electric about Manning and Brady trying to outduel each other this late in their careers.
Associated Press
1) Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts - Week 7
In another HUGE story of "former-player-returns-to-his-former-address-of-glory," Broncos tight end Jacob Tamme returns to Indianapolis, where he caught 67 balls in 2010...
I kid because I care. Peyton Manning, of course, is the Broncos player who had some great moments at Lucas Oil Stadium -- though most of his best Colts highlights (like winning the 2006 AFC Championship game after facing a 21-3 deficit in the first half) actually came at the Hoosier Dome. However, regardless of the stadium, Manning will always be linked to the city of Indianapolis.
The "cool factor" of this AFC battle goes way up when you factor in Colts quarterback Andrew Luck's incredible play in the clutch despite his youth. Tell me you can't see Luck exploiting the Broncos' secondary on a last-gasp drive, spoiling what is sure to be a celebration of Manning's Hall of Fame career.
Matt Slocum/Associated Press
Missed the Cut
Patriots at Ravens: Not the same Baltimore team. Packers at Cowboys: Cool matchup, but liked Bears-Cowboys better, due to Dallas' shift to Chicago's defensive scheme. Vikings at Seahawks: Percy Harvin playing his former team couldn't crack the top 13. Still a nice game. Colts at 49ers: Andrew Luck versus that stout Niners D. Honestly could have put half of the Niners' schedule on this list. Seahawks at Falcons: Rematch of 2012 playoff thriller. We had enough Seattle games listed, though; thus, no Seahawks-Texans. Saints at Patriots: Sean Payton and Bill Belichick lock heads. Drew Brees vs. Tom Brady ain't too shabby, either.
