Ranking and analyzing the league's best quarterbacks.
1. Peyton Manning (IND)
This is basically a tie between No. 1 and 2. Peyton's leadership, I believe, separates himself from most quarterbacks. Yes he has the laser arm and perfect placement, but he is also one of the best game-managing quarterbacks today.
His Hall of Fame resume consists of multiple records, 3 MVP awards and a Super Bowl ring. He is one of the best players at taking over a game and leading an offense in clutch situations.
I'm not too concerned about Peyton's protection, and Addai and Brown should be a tough rushing attack for teams to stop.
Clark and Wayne haven't shown any signs of slowing down, plus Gonzalez is still developing. When it comes to it, Peyton should manage fine with the offense he has.
2. Tom Brady (NE)
If you think Brady should be No. 1, I can't really argue. He can go down as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL ever.
He holds the single-season TD pass record and three Super Bowl rings. Brady is a very precise player and is coming back with motivation.
I believe they are overall better than their 18-1 team due to the depth they added during the off-season. The offensive line didn't go anywhere, so Brady's protection shouldn't change too much.
Maroney and Taylor's play only enhances a pretty solid rushing corps (with Faulk and Morris). Moss, Welker and Watson will all be back; and the addition of Galloway gives Brady another reliable target.
Brady should feel more comfortable than ever with the weapons he has; which could be very dangerous for the NFL as a whole.
3. Drew Brees (NO)
I think Brees has the strongest arm in the league. He can fit the ball in any window and shows more heart than any other quarterback. He has the ability and characteristics to win a league MVP award.
Asking him to lead the current New Orleans offense to a Super Bowl might be too much, but his stats and desire to win set him apart from most quarterbacks. His talented arm only adds to his great personality as a football player.
Colston and Moore give Brees a pretty reliable receiving corps, but Shockey needs to get his head on his shoulders.
If Brees could get a little more help from his line and more consistency from the backfield, his MVP status could be even with players like Brady, Peterson and Manning.
4. Ben Roethlisberger (PIT)
Big Ben doesn't get enough respect as an NFL quarterback. He is the toughest quarterback in the league today.
Ben has a unique style to the position: he has a strong and accurate release and can break away from most tackles.
In his four-year career, Ben has two Super Bowl rings. You can say Pittsburgh's defense carried Ben (which they pretty much did), but he threw the game-winning touchdown to Holmes.
He is a winner any way you want to look at it. The offensive line didn't improve too much, so Big Ben might be under pressure again.
To sum it up, Ben's "ugly" style to the quarterback position obviously works for him and the Steelers. Like him or not, he is a tough player with a winning mindset.
5. Eli Manning (NYG)
He is a Manning, so he's got to be good. Eli is just a composed quarterback who knows how to play football. All Eli really needs to be successful is a decent line and smart receivers.
Eli was crushed by the media more than any other player in the NFL, but his composure to succeed was too strong.
He is an enjoyable guy to play with and has really taken over as a leader on the team (seemed to catch on when Tiki jumped ship).
Again, you can say New York's defense carried Eli to the Super Bowl; but Eli threw the game-winning touchdown pass. It all comes down to what you can do in any given situation.
Eli will have to rely on Nicks, Smith, and Hixon to step it up; but New York's running game should be the centerpiece of their offense. Manning's composed mindset and winning ability is very rare.
6. Donovan McNabb (PHI)
McNabb is one of the hardest quarterbacks to contain in the league. He cannot only make any throw on the field, but he can read the field while moving inside or outside the pocket.
McNabb's biggest weakness might be his ego; but with an improving team, he might need to step up as the leader of this Eagle club.
McNabb has already proven he is a straight baller in this league, and I believe his injury days have passed for the most part.
Westbrook comes and goes every season, and they are still missing a reliable tight end.
I still think he needs a true No. 1 receiver if Philly wants a Lombardi trophy, but McNabb has the ability and mindset to lead this team far.
7. Jay Cutler (CHI)
You can say Cutler didn't do anything with Denver, but he did make a Pro Bowl. He has one of the most accurate throws with a lot of velocity.
His stats continue to increase each year and he now has a much more reliable defense that should help him succeed. The protection in Chicago will be better than it was in Denver, as well as the rushing game.
Olsen and Clark can relate to Scheffler and Graham, so Cutler should be comfortable with Chicago's two tight ends.
Cutler might not have been able to lead Denver, but Chicago gives him more weapons to become successful than Denver did.
This is a guy who could be the difference in Chicago wining a Super Bowl down the long run.
8. Matt Ryan (ATL)
Matt Ryan is a rare gem, plain and simple. He can make any throw from any part of the field. Ryan is a very smart decision maker with tons of confidence in himself and his teammates.
He can put perfect touch on the long ball (with perfect placement) and bullet throws into tight coverage. He reads the field like one of the best and looked like a veteran in his rookie year.
His offense is well-rounded and the addition of Gonzalez only enhances Ryan's chance at success.
He has MVP candidate talent, but he still has a lot of learning before reaching that status on a serious level.
9. Phillip Rivers (SD)
Phillip has got to play with a chip on his shoulder this year. Rivers is probably one of the best competitors in the NFL as well as one of the toughest quarterbacks.
His ability as a leader should go unquestioned; and now with Merriman returning, the San Diego defense should spot him nicely. It also doesn't hurt to have LT, Chambers, Jackson and Gates to work with.
Rivers' accuracy has surprised me more than anything in his career, and his delivery has improved as well.
Rivers could have his best year of his career, but he will need to be focused, determined, and clutch to be considered one of the best in the league.
10. Carson Palmer (CIN)
The only thing slowing Carson down is his injuries. He was groomed perfectly for the Bengals' starting job, and I still believe he is a franchise quarterback.
I like the leadership he has displayed over the years and has a solid one-two receiving duo in Ochocinco and Coles.
Palmer has a very powerful and accurate arm; and if he has enough time, Ochocinco and Coles could have a very productive year.
I believe Benson will play better, but not consistent. Palmer played well when he came back from his knee injury, so I have no reason to doubt he can do it again.
Despite the result of Cincinnati's year, Palmer could put up Pro Bowl numbers.
11. Tony Romo (DAL)
Tony Romo has as much skill as any quarterback in the league. He still has learning to do when it comes to being a championship player, but his talent is still remarkable.
The problem with Romo is that he approaches the game too laid back. You can not be a serious champion caliber player if you take a laid-back approach.
Romo does a good job of staying composed with the media, however. His mindset could be worse, but the talent around him only makes him better.
Dallas has a great two tight-end set, two explosive backs, a proven No. 1 receiver and a pretty solid defense.
Ultimately, the player across the field from Romo, I feel, has more desire to win a game as the season drags on.
I'm not saying he is not talented; he has playoff experience and a great cast, but he needs to take over consistently which I think comes from his attitude.
12. Kurt Warner (ARI)
This guy is in Canton already. He obviously still has the talent and leadership to lead an offense to the Super Bowl. Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin are a large part, but someone's got to throw them the ball.
He brings a winning attitude and veteran leadership role to the Arizona locker room. We will see if the offensive line can play consistent for him, but ultimately Warner has one of the two best receivers in the league.
Beanie might be a nice surprise, and Hightower runs pretty hard. Warner is surrounded by enough talent to lead Arizona's offense in the right direction.
The only thing I'd be worried about Kurt is his health, but he took some shots last year and still played well.
13. Matt Hasselbeck (SEA)
Hasselbeck has proven himself already in this league. He obviously has the talent and leadership to take an offense far into the NFL season.
Signing TJ was huge for Seattle; and with a returning Deion Branch, Nate Burleson, and John Carlson, this could be a dangerous passing team.
They don't have a solid line or backfield though. Hasselbeck will be the player Seattle runs their offense through, and he should play nicely for the most part.
With hardly a running game though, Hasslebeck's success might not be enough for Seattle to contend for a playoff.
14. Matt Schaub (HOU)
Matt Schaub just needs to stay healthy. He has great vision and likes to take risks, some backfire, but at least he has some guts.
Andre Johnson gives him a very reliable receiver and usually draws double coverage to get others open.
Slaton might take some pressure of Schaub's shoulders, but Schaub has the capability to throw for 250 yards and two or more touchdowns each game (granted that Slaton and Johnson play in those games).
Schaub can escape the pocket pretty decently as well, and Owen Daniels is progressing as a pretty solid tight end.
Schaub puts himself in situations to get hurt though; so if he can't stay healthy, he will never make that leap as a great player.
If Schaub can play a full season with Johnson, Daniels and Slaton, then he has the potential to finish in the top five in passing yards.
15. Joe Flacco (BAL)
Flacco has proven he can do enough for Baltimore to contend in the AFC (offensively). He was pretty solid for a rookie from a Division 1-AA school to lead an NFL offense to the playoffs.
He made dumb rookie throws at times, but he has some of the best zip and accuracy in the league. He does a good job moving with his feet, but he runs carelessly which may cost him at some point.
His backfield takes a lot of pressure off of him (as well as the defense), but he can only get better which is kind of scary to think about.
Baltimore looked like one of the best teams last year, and Flacco was just a rookie. It's the same thing with Ryan; they can only get better (unless they get hurt).
16. Aaron Rodgers (GB)
I always preferred Rodgers over Smith, but this kid is getting killed by opponents. He has such great toughness, leadership, and ability to be a top quarterback.
His receiving corps helps, but Grant needs to be more consistent this year. The offensive line needs to pick up pass rushes better, because Rodgers is making plays with barely any time.
He would pick defenses apart if he had Tom Brady time in the pocket. Rodgers did make bad decisions and turned the ball over a lot; but he should play much more confident this year, which should lead to good decision making.
I trust Rodgers as a franchise quarterback in this league; I'm just not sure if it's right now.
17. Jake Delhomme (CAR)
Despite his age, Delhomme is a very good quarterback. He has a good leadership role and has the arm to complete incredibly risky passes. His offensive line is pretty solid and the rushing game is relentless.
Delhomme is playing with one of the best receivers (and MVP caliber) in Steve Smith. I thought he played too wild last year, which I think will hurt him this year if he repeats that style.
Delhomme fits in nicely with the Carolina organization and all-in-all is a solid quarterback. He helped take Carolina to a Super Bowl before, so I do trust him.
I just don't know how consistent he will be this year, but throwing to Smith is such a huge advantage.
18. Chad Pennington (MIA)
He is the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL. How do you win more than one Comeback Player of the Year Award? That would be an insult to me.
He has taken two teams to the playoffs now, and helped beat out Belichick's Patriots for the AFC East title.
He may not be the flashiest quarterback, but he gets the job done. He is a very accurate passer and is under-rated when it comes to mobility.
He has proven he can do what it takes to win, but can he stay healthy and consistent should be the only questions for Pennington right now.
19. Kerry Collins (TEN)
This is another underrated quarterback in the league. He helped lead New York to a Super Bowl and Tennessee into the playoffs.
Collins is most effective when his offensive line is productive. His two-headed backfield helps as well.
Collins can make the smart decisions in clutch moments, which Vince Young needs to learn in order to be great. Collins should be the starter for now, but I'm not sure how much longer.
He is a quarterback who makes his receivers better, which is hard to find in the league. If Vince Young can learn anything from Collins, he could be a dangerous passer in the future.
20. Jason Campbell (WAS)
Campbell has the skill to be a good quarterback in this league. He has very good accuracy and a strong delivery.
His decision making has not improved, however, and I'm starting to wonder if he can carry an offense when someone on the team goes down.
Washington has surrounded him with a ton of talent on both sides of the ball. Campbell fits in nicely with their offense, he just needs to make better decisions on a consistent basis.
21. Marc Bulger (STL)
Bulger may be past his prime, and he cannot get the job done on his own. He is a safe and reliable player when he has weapons around him.
Bulger's best year was when he had Holt and Bruce to throw the ball to and offensive line issues have hurt Bulger in recent memory. He makes good decisions and has basically fought adversity his entire career.
None of the receivers St. Louis has can compare to Holt or Bruce, but Jackson will take a lot off of Bulger.
The offensive line did improve from the past two years, so Bulger may have some success, but it shouldn't be consistent for an entire NFL season.
Bulger is a guy who has the ability to lead the Rams offense in the right direction, but he needs more help in order to be a top quarterback like he was three to four years ago.
22. Matt Cassel (KC)
This is going to be the biggest quarterback question in the NFL. Can Matt Cassel continue to play like he did in New England? As of right now, I give the coaching staff credit for preparing such an inexperienced player in such a short amount of time.
Cassel did show that he can make pinpoint passes with good reads. He won't have the same offensive line that he had in New England, but the skill players around him could be huge factors in this guy's development.
Cassel doesn't have to come in and win games immediately. As long as he plays consistent, smart and limits turnovers, Cassel should fit in very comfortably with the Kansas City organization.
He doesn't have to impress this year, but he can't play out of rhythm, either. Overall, Cassel's numbers this year shouldn't highlight what he can become in Kansas City long-term.
23. David Garrard (JAC)
This is one of the most difficult quarterbacks to contain in the league. He has a strong, accurate throw and the mobility to escape most rushes. I honestly do not know what went wrong for Garrard last year.
Obviously he turned the ball over a lot more, but what could have caused that? He had a lot more pressure as someone to take over the team last year and seemed to make bad decisions throughout most games.
Torry Holt's arrival will boost his chances at success this year, and the offensive line will be ready to roll.
Garrard's success and attitude comes from everyone else around him; so if Jacksonville can roll on all cylinders this year, Garrard might put up successful numbers.
He is a solid starting quarterback who needs to prove he can take over as a franchise leader of this Jaguar club.
24. Shaun Hill (SF)
This is a very under-rated player. Hill has the determination and desire to lead an NFL offense into the post-season.
Well, at least this year he does (mainly because of Singletary). Hill should have mediocre to above-average success under Singletary; not to mention reliable targets in the receiving game and a running back who can change a game with one play.
Hill is good enough to manage this offense with the coaches and players around him. He turned the ball over a lot last season, but expect a more educated quarterback behind center for the Niners.
25. Brady Quinn (CLE)
With the few games Quinn played last year, he impressed me. He still has a couple playmakers around him, but not as many as he did last season.
Quinn needs to prove he can fill in as a franchise quarterback, because that's what Cleveland drafted him for. He has a quick, but accurate delivery that is tough for opposing defenders to knock away.
He can fit tight windows, but his lack of experience may hurt his overall success this season.
His struggles shouldn't disappoint because he will make stupid decisions at times this year; but speaking long-term, his talent is definitely good enough to lead a franchise in the future.
This should be a "growing pains" season for Quinn.
26. Vince Young (TEN)
He probably won't get the PT to put up successful numbers, but he has proven he is a winner. Despite his ugly stats when he did play, Young continues to take any offense he starts for to the post-season.
His determination and skill set him apart from most quarterbacks, but his bad decision making ultimately cost him his starting job.
He is still young though, and he obviously has to learn what risky throws are worth the risk. His NFL knowledge is the only thing that should come into question when discussing Vince's weaknesses.
Overall, he is a talented and determined player with a lot more heart than brain. Instead of complaining about his PT, he should be taking as many notes as possible from Kerry Collins.
27. Trent Edwards (BUF)
This will be the year Buffalo determines if they believe Edwards is the quarterback for the franchise. The addition of Owens pretty much gives Trent no more excuses to fail.
Buffalo could have the one of the best one-two receiving duos in the league, and Marshawn is as determined a runner as any other player.
The offensive line might not help Edwards out as much as his skill players around him, but the front office seems to be confident in their decision making.
Edwards is a smart, composed player with a great attitude. Hopefully, he can overcome his concussions and play with a determination to play well.
He doesn't have to win games for Buffalo, but just be consistent and confident.
He has the talent around him to succeed; but when it is said and done, the success for Buffalo as a championship organization in the future comes down to Trent Edwards.
28. Kyle Orton (DEN)
Orton actually had a very low-key, yet successful season last year. He played with a ton of poise and always rallied his team through the air when they needed it.
He did deal with a lot of pressure, considering Forte was still learning the game and their receivers were still developing.
Orton has great accuracy with the long ball and steps into a pocket with tons of confidence (despite pass rushes).
He kind of reminds me of a young Kerry Collins; and since McDaniels did hand-pick Orton from Chicago, his career might be bright in the future. Will it be bright this year for Orton?
Denver still has a lot of questions as an organization as a whole, but Orton has the ability to lead a team deep with the right coaches, system, and players around him.
29. Tarvaris Jackson (MIN)
When Brad Childress said he was the next Donovan McNabb, I tried to figure out why.
He didn't play so hot when he was the starter last year; but after being benched, a light turned on for Jackson.
He limited his turnovers during the back-stretch of the season. He only showed signs of improvement concluding last year and should play with a little more attitude this year (mainly because I don't believe Sage Rosenfels has any business in the starting quarterback talk).
If he can develop an attitude from his quarterback competition and make the decisions he made at the end of last season, then Jackson could be a nice fit for Minnesota in the future.
His consistency needs to be proven, but he has the talent and mindset to be a dangerous player in this league.
30. JaMarcus Russell (OAK)
He has a strong arm and a big body. He still has a lot to learn about the NFL game and needs maturing. He has the talent and size to be an effective player for this franchise, but his football knowledge is lacking.
He has improved since his rookie season and the Fargas/McFadden combination helps Russell through the ground and air. The Oakland offensive line has been horrible since their Super Bowl appearance.
The defense is good enough to give Russell opportunities to win close games. He is progressing each year, but still has a long way to become a top quarterback in this league.
DHB is a bigger asset than most people realize and could be the receiver that connects best with Russell on that team.
31. Derek Anderson (CLE)
Failed when given the franchise job in Browns Town, and will now probably have to wait his turn behind the lovable Quinn unless he gets traded out (or Quinn gets hurt).
32. Jeff Garcia (OAK)
He can still be a productive leader for Oakland, and may even start over Russell. His leadership and success comes and goes each season (a more inconsistent Pennington), but he has proven he can lead an offense to the post-season.
33. Chris Simms (DEN)
He hasn't played since his spleen almost burst in Tampa. He proved he does enough to win games on a consistent basis and faced death while playing a football game. How do you not like this player?
34. Dante Culpepper (DET)
He has progressed nicely each year after his knee surgery. He told the media he didn't go to Kansas City because he found a team that will give him a long-term chance.
Long-term or not, he should get the start in Detroit this year. He is the best option at quarterback and it will give Stafford time to learn the position.
35) Kellen Clemens (NYJ)
The same thing in Detroit applies here. New York should start the quarterback with better knowledge of the playbook and NFL in general.
36. Luke McCown (TB)
I'm not sold on McCown as the future quarterback for Tampa. He is a back-up at best and has yet to show any signs of becoming a serious franchise player. McCown might be the starter at the beginning of the year, but probably won't finish as it.
37. Matthew Stafford (DET)
Let him sit out an entire year so he can learn the NFL game as well as the Detroit offense. His skill and attitude remind me of a Phillip Rivers, but his knowledge is not even close. That is what Stafford needs to work on.
38. Alex Smith (SF)
He is not good enough to be an NFL franchise quarterback. Smith is a reliable back-up for most NFL teams; but as a serious starter, he has had more than enough opportunities to prove it.
The only way he can get better is with a fresh start, but don't expect high numbers from Smith now or in the future.
39. Mark Sanchez (NYJ)
If Sanchez can stay composed and confident, he might be a successful quarterback. He still has a lot to learn (as does every rookie), but the team around him will only make him better. His attitude is great and he seems like a great team player.
For a franchise's sake, I would bench him for (at least) the first half of the season. He can be the Jets' golden boy; but patience is a virtue, and the Jets organization, I think, should be patient with him.
40. Matt Moore (CAR)
I believe Moore is ready to start for some NFL teams right now. He played impressive his rookie year, filling in for the injured Jake Delhomme.
Everything about Moore looked impressive except for his timing when making decisions. That comes with being a rookie, however.
Given the right place and time, Moore could be a franchise leader for a football club in the future.

Winter at North Bondi Fish
Things are changing at North Bondi Fish, Matt Moran's sprawling seafood restaurant with its famous ocean views. The venue has had a spruce up and new head chef Zac Sykes (Coogee Pavilion, the Fish Shop) has revamped the menu with fresh, seasonal and sustainable produce. "My favourite dish at the moment is butter poached cuttlefish, fennel and lemon balm risotto with nori powder," says Sykes. "I love using cuttlefish as it has great flavour and just like Aussie calamari, it's sustainable, so you know it's not overfished in any part of Australia." Head into North Bondi Fish on a Thursday or Friday night and you can try one of Sykes' #notjustfish creations, where he favours the likes of pork belly with braised cabbage and polenta or slow-cooked beef shin over seafood. Enjoy the special with a carafe of wine for two people at $30 per head. Winter warmer cocktails are also available throughout the cooler months and include tasty adult treats such as an Irish Coffee or a Kentucky Toddy served in a teacup. Or pop on down for Aperitivo hours, Wednesday to Friday from 4-6pm. NBF are also hosting an after party for City2Surf. Tickets include a three-hour beverage package, food by Sykes and DJ Alice Q playing on the balcony from 9am. Now that's what we'd call a fun run. Winter trading hours are Wednesday to Sunday, noon till late.
Rock Lily Trivia Tuesdays
Rock Lily, the music-comedy-entertainment venue on Level 1 at The Star, Pyrmont, has a trivia night every Tuesday, from 7.30pm. There's no cover charge, pizzas are just $10, there are $15 beer jugs and parking is free if you spend $15 in one go. Now here's the kicker. Many pub trivias will give you $100 in bar credit as first prize. Hell, some will give you less. But at Rock Lily the prize is a cool $500 cash – every single Tuesday. Plus, there are prizes worth $100 and $50 for second and third place respectively, and spot prizes throughout the night. That's right. Win the comp and half a K is yours for the taking, no strings attached. Mind you, with such a generous jackpot at stake, The Star are serious about the cardinal rule of trivia: namely, no phones, tablets, notes, newspapers or other forms of external assistance – on pain of disqualification. They monitor this closely, so hands off the phones, people. Teams can be as small as two and as large as ten. The smaller the team that triumphs the bigger the individual cut, but then the bigger the team the wider your knowledge base. There are two rounds of 20 questions. Good luck.
Heineken City Shapers Festival Sydney
We all dream of a whirlwind holiday, but the realities of jetlag and airport lounges are not always as romantic as you imagine them to be, which is why on Wednesday night Heineken treated special guests to a round-the-world experience that didn't require passports. Hosted by Freda's, Chippendale's beloved party bar, guests were greeted by samba dancers and live percussionists before heading inside to experience a little taste of the world's greatest cities, from Amsterdam (home of Heineken) to New York, Singapore, Rio De Janeiro and Berlin. First stop was Singapore where guests were treated to a cold, crisp Heineken and a box of freshly cooked Singapore noodles packed with juicy prawns and chicken. The next station was channeling Amsterdam with local Draught Ambassador Callum teaching guests about the art of a perfectly poured Heineken. Over at the New York corner, guests got to sample beef sliders and hot dogs, treat their ears to the soulful sounds of some live trumpet while enjoying a Manhattan made by the Freda's crew. Adding some tropical vibes into a wintry evening in Sydney, the Rio stand's samba dancers helped amp up the party vibes for a visit to Berlin, where a DJ was pumping the party tracks. Because you always come home from a holiday with presents there was also a competition on the night to win two Heineken gift packs. All guests needed to do was answer the five questions displayed on the walls and hand their form to our friendly Time Out crew. Sure, we'd

Storing Needles and Thread by Christina Christie Amarillo, Texas
I find it convenient to use a toothpick holder for needles. They stand up straight, and you don't get stabbed with them near as much or as hard. Also, you can put floss or thread in a film canister and label it with the color or number. This doesn't take up much space and keeps colors together well.

I use the mechanical pencils, so I use the plastic tubes in which the leads come to store the needles. I have enough to have one for each of the different size of needles, like one for the tapestry needles, one for the embroidery, etc...

I find that using decorated cough drop tins lined with layers of magnetic strips is perfect for not only holding the needles but keeping them in order. If I'm doing a quilting project I place a layer of the strips (leaving the backing on) on top of the others.

I find that using decorated cough drop tins lined with layers of magnetic strips is perfect for not only holding the needles but keeping them in order. If I'm doing a quilting project I place a layer of the strips (leaving the backing on) on top of the others.

We study life satisfaction data from the 2005 World Values Survey and a 2009 survey of users of the virtual world Second Life. Second Life users do not have the same demographic profile as the general population, but the differences are not as large as we expected. The mechanisms and causes of life satisfaction seem to be similar in the two samples. Among Second Life users, satisfaction with their virtual life is higher than satisfaction with their real life. Regression analysis indicates that people in certain life situations, such as unemployment, gain more life satisfaction from 'switching' to the virtual world than from changing their real-life circumstances. In other words, an unemployed person can become happier by visiting Second Life rather than finding a job. Correspondingly, problems in real life are positive predictors of intense use of virtual life.

Numbers may not lie, but they sure do get confusing at times. Today's example, the estimated updated energy efficiency numbers for the just-released 2013 Nissan Leaf. The 2012 Leaf was rated at 99 MPGe combined, 106 city and 92 highway with a 73-mile range. The 2013 model gets 130 in the city, 102 on the highway and has a 75 mile range. Sounds like quite the improvement, right?

From what we know today, pretty much everything about the all-electric Nissan Leaf is getting bigger and/or better in 2012. From availability in Europe to 50-state availability and production in the States, it's clear Nissan is planning big things for its EV this year. Now, Nissan's Mark Perry has told the The Detroit News that the 2013 Leaf will get serious improvements when it launches later this year, including a better heater, a darker interior option and leather seats.

Don't fast-forward to March Madness
Welcome back to the College Hoops DVR, in which -- depending on whim -- we look backward or forward or just let things play, always in quick succession.
REW: During Duke's recent game in Miami, Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski took exception to a Hurricanes fan who was blowing a conch shell in the stands -- and because the shell qualifies as an illegal sound-maker, it was confiscated by arena security. Krzyzewski was later seen fleeing down a local beach, chased by several youths in dirty loincloths -- one of whom was brandishing the conch.
FF: Villanova senior guard Scottie Reynolds recently passed 2,000 career points and now sits at 2,113. The Wildcats have four regular-season games left, plus the Big East and NCAA tournaments -- so Reynolds might play as many as 13 more games in his collegiate career. If he does, he will need to average only 81 points a game to catch Pete Maravich for the NCAA career mark -- something opponents are all aware of, as no one wants him to break the record on their watch.
REW: Fiery SMU coach Matt Doherty was smacked with a technical during the Mustangs' loss to Memphis on Saturday, after he grabbed a game official by the collar and demanded, "Give me back that Filet-O-Fish! Give me that fish!"
PLAY: Kansas beat Oklahoma on Monday, which gave the Jayhawks their 58th consecutive home win and a share of their sixth straight Big 12 title. A conference of equals? No, the Big 12 comprises Kansas and 11 teams that lose to Kansas. Well, until football season, anyway.
PAUSE: Last week, North Carolina's Ed Davis went on Twitter to ask people to stop asking questions about his future. "Please stop asking if I'm leaving school or not. I'm just trying to recover from my injury and get back on the court asap." Ed, we understand; right now it's all about recuperating on the sofa and watching good ACC basketball. In short, how 'bout them Blue Devils?
REW: Kyle Singler was just feeding Jon Scheyer's chickens and made them so happy that they laid an extra batch of Treasured Golden Mystery Eggs!
PLAY: Krzyzewski says he's concerned some of his players might be spending too much time on FarmVille.
REW: West Virginia fans were unimpressed when Mississippi State fans threw water bottles onto the court during a game against Kentucky. After all, West Virginia fans have been known to tip opposing players by throwing coins. But broken water bottles? Everyone knows those can't be redeemed for a nickel.
REW: Sunday's game between Ohio State and Michigan State was interrupted by a two-hour delay when a pothole developed near center court. Michigan State officials admitted that the hardwood had not been replaced since 1978.
STOP: Kansas junior Cole Aldrich was recently named Academic All-American of the Year by ESPN The Magazine and the College Sports Information Directors Association of America. This came as a shock to Aldrich, who hasn't been to class in two years.
PLAY: In an effort to distance itself from its racially charged past, the University of Mississippi abandoned its Colonel Reb mascot in 2003 because the caricature of an old white plantation owner didn't sit well with many people. Since then, Ole Miss has been without a mascot. But this week, students had the opportunity to choose a replacement -- (1) a colonial soldier, (2) a riverboat gambler or (3) Cooper Manning.
FF: So far, the Big Ten has been unsuccessful in luring a 12th team to join the conference, with Notre Dame and Pittsburgh reportedly resisting overtures. But league officials feel confident of landing their next target, the University of Phoenix. The online school doesn't currently have a basketball program (or an athletic department, for that matter), but it's still on course to earn its first NCAA tournament invitation before Northwestern.
PAUSE: Because they're armed and -- let's be honest -- somewhat unpredictable, no one is willing to tell the folks at Virginia Military Institute that their nickname -- the "Keydets" -- has been misspelled all these years. Not even the cadets at West Point will touch this assignment.
REW: Jon Jankowski, a student sideline reporter for Kent State games, shows some commendable pluck during this recent contest versus Buffalo. It's not quite "boom goes the dynamite," but memorable nonetheless. Hey, there's no shame, Jon. Most of us would freeze on camera like Alex P. Keaton on "Jeopardy!" -- but you, bless your heart, kept talking.
REW: A look back at a recent sporting development
PAUSE: Where things are on hold
PLAY: Where things are ongoing
STOP: Where things have come to an end
FF: A look ahead at a possible sporting development

People have long spoken of "haves" and "have-nots," but perhaps never in modern times has the economy seemed so separated between those who seem to be getting ahead and those who are falling behind.

Making time for money
One can't give financial advice for very long without realizing that most of it is not earth-shattering insight. It usually comes down to common sense. So then the challenge becomes one of analyzing why people don't apply common sense to their finances more often.

Spanish Harlem Orchestra
Somewhere Hector Lavoe and Celia Cruz to name a couple are smiling, and probably jamming as well. And Oscar Hernandez should no doubt feel a sense of accomplishment. Hernandez, the founder and pianist for salsa ensemble Spanish Harlem Orchestra, recently set out to maintain the charged fusions of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and big band sound popularized all over New York in the ´60s and ´70s and on the group´s third album, United We Swing, he achieves just that. The album has a bevy of blaring trumpets, trombones, street-smart improvisations, and all-out exuberance that serve as a celebration of dance and pure old-school all at once. Although the overall feel of the album is vintage, the Grammy-award winning group scores big with original material played by veteran musicians who shared the stage with some of the famed salseros of yesteryear. The album provides something for lovers of la salsa dura (hard salsa). Take the charm of Gil Lopez´s piano bouncing off the horn drive in ¨Llegó la Orquesta.¨ The tune ¨En el Tiempo del Palladium¨ is an up-tempo homage to the famed New York hotspot, while ¨Plena Con Sabor¨ honors the old Puerto Rican genre that eventually made its way to the Big Apple. The lone oddity is ¨Tarde en la Noche¨ which, despite being well-written by Paul Simon, has a strange feel (salsa just doesn´t carry the same vibe in English). Still, Hernandez´s beautiful and brassy arrangements make it worthwhile. The group´s trio of demonstrative, polished, and fine-tuned vocalists (Ray de la Paz, Willie Torres, and Marco Bermudez) bring an added touch that fits the band´s harmonic diversions like a glove throughout the album. One that´s definitely going to make you want to get up and dance.

Foxes took to the Louder Lounge stage on Saturday afternoon and performed A Flawless stripped back rendition of Let GO For Tonight.
Crowds gathered In front of the intimate song Xperia stage to watch the Grammy winner perform.
Dressed in a black satin cropped barley and baggy Harlem pants with a black top hat, foxes only accompaniment was a pianist.
The ombré-haired songstress sang new single Glorious to a ferocious applause from the small star studded crowd.
Melissa Steel is known as the little lady with the big voice - but after running into her at V Festival we think she should be known as the lovely lady with an even bigger voice.
Pal of One Direction star Zayn Malik, the pint sized pop princess revealed the pair were still in touch AND send each other recommended inks to hot new music.
Speaking to Mirror Celeb, the singer-songwriter who hails from Bradford said the pair bonded during a school play - where they both had leading roles.
The Kisses For Breakfast singer, signed to Atlantic Records, added that all rumours about her dating recently single Chris Brown were false.
Rising star Melissa is currently writing and recording her debut album.
Alan Carr wasn't the only celebrity feeling fragile after Grimmy's birthday bash last night.
But it didn't stop Millie Mackintosh and husband Pro Green from dragging themselves out of bed and heading to V for fun and frolics.
Millie was hiding her face in her morning Instagram shot as she showed off her cute boho-style dress. Meanwhile, Pro Green, um, didn't appear so fresh and ready for the weekend.
He shared a photograph of his bed hair and pulled a face in the snap, telling followers: "V festival? Nowhere near enough sleep? Oh well. To Chelmsford we go." At least he's making the effort.
Alan Carr might have been out all night celebrating Nick Grimshaw's 30th birthday at London's Shoreditch House, but that did NOT mean he was missing V Festival today.
The chat show host was straight back on it swigging coconut rum backstage at the Mahiki VIP area at Hylands Park in Chelmsford. He may still be feeling a tad rough as he kept his shades on (good idea), but he looked like he was ready to party.
We salute you, Alan! Let's hope plenty of celebrities follow suit.
We told you we were coming to see you!
Our reporter Zoe Shenton has spotted a fleet of black buses - thought to be Justin Timberlake's entourage!
One of the surrounding bodyguards said one bus was just for WATER. Yes, you heard that right.
Other big name acts lined up over the weekend for the twin-site event include Ed Sheeran, Paolo Nutini, Lily Allen and Elbow.
Crowd-pleasing star Nile Rodgers will also be performing with his disco act Chic at the festival, staged at Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Weston Park, Staffordshire on August 16 and 17.
Brit Award winners Bastille, Sam Smith and Rudimental will be playing, and Katy B - who recently topped the album chart - is also on the bill.
As our roving reporters head around to chat to revellers, pop sensations All Saints took to the stage!
Remember them?
Here is the lovely Louise Thompson with our microphone in her face and a rather incredible festival outfit.
Video to come soon!
Remember to tweet us if you are going to V - using the hashtag #MirrorVFest

In case your wondering who the guy is next to reporter Zoe Shenton - that's our skilled camera whiz Robert Midgley.
The trio have already spotted MIC's Louise Thompson and Melissa Steel helping themselves to breakfast!
And we are in!
Basically we have access all areas so we can go snooping around and sniff out all the best gossip. Pretty much the best area at V is the celebrity infused Louder Lounge with coffee, cocktails and a burger van all being part of the deal.
Good morning you lovely, lovely people!
Here at Mirror Towers we have sent our crack team down to the star studded event that is V Festival - and as well as getting all the hot celebrity gossip, checking out all the amazing music and sourcing only the best floral headbands known to man - we will be wandering round hoping to speak to some of you.
Forget the celebrities for just a minute - we want to speak to YOU. We want to find out just what you are up to, who you want to see and where the hell you got your floral headband.
Crack reporters Zoe Shenton and Jess Wilson have descended on Hylands Park, Chelmsford, with a camera crew, some cider and a few tricks up their sleeves.
To make it easy for us to find you - and for you to be on TV - tweet us @MirrorCeleb using the hashtag #MirrorVFest.
See you soon!

That's why I never knock the judges or at least be too critical on them.
The problem with watching it live is that where you are sitting often influences how you see the fight.
If you are up close, then a boxers back may be towards you somethings you view is block or you can't see if certain punches landed.
I often sit in a sweet spot, middle section towards the center of the ring. Even though I can see the whole ring etc....I am often a bit too far back to see if certain punches (partially landed vs fully blocked) are landed when a fighters guard is up (unless they are clean shots).
Again if you move too close up, then you have to worry about not being able to see certain angles when the fight is going on.
Like one poster said........the best view is at home...especially with a DVR to be able to rewind and slow certain parts down to see if punches landed.

Agree. Judges should be back stage with big screens. Not even joking. And scorecards should be presented after each ****ing rd. Hold these dudes responsible in the moment. Every other sport has live scoring. WHy would boxing be any different.

So for whatever reason those old judges sitting in a static angle, saw a fight that requires multiple rewatch and slo-motions to see (by Bradley's supporters).
The fight was fixed.

I agree... second viewings always look closer for some reason, and I don't drink during fights and usually have the MUTE on the HBO crew (turning it back up only inbetween rounds to hear the corners). I didn't score Pac/Bradley fight the first time around but I had Pac comfortably ahead, with only possibly 2 or 3 rounds that stood out for Bradley. Then on review I sat and broke down the rounds entirely (giving Bradley the benefit of the doubt on close rounds), I was able to see it possibly closer to a draw. When there wasn't much action Tim was atleast flicking his jab, although it wasn't landing much. When they were trading (usually in the last 45 seconds of the round) Pac got the better of Tim in the exchanges.
I still think Pac won, but he didn't dominate Bradley really in any way. Once Bradley calmed down and used proper head and foot movement, he made Pac miss more and frustrated him by boxing. Bradley really found his groove in the last 4 rounds and should have fought the entire fight that way. It frustrates Pac and he resorts to following his opponent around without throwing punches. In those last few rounds Tim would jump in with a quick one/two and then back out, on review it was pretty impressive. I think in a rematch, Tim will use that tactic throughout.... with Pac REALLY (not Freddie Roach 'really') going for the knock out. Rematch will be a better fight, I would predict Bradley by decision or Pac by knockout. Bradley would be smart not to try to be macho and try to trade with Pac and box and move all night long. I think Tim found out he can't hurt Pac but if he sticks to boxing, in and out movement, jab jab jab jab and more jab... he has Pac frustrated all night and almost a certain victory - IF he sticks to the gameplan throughout all 12 rounds and doesn't try to be macho and trade punches.

Put sensors on the boxers and track the movements using high speed cameras and 3D modeling. Then score the fight like how you would in Street Fighter, lol.

the faq is only the 2 judges on that view scored it the ugly way meant there is a problem and the problem wasnt the view lol
the pros on that spot is u can actually here how hard the punch land and if it did land or just hitting gloves
so apart from seeing the actual happenings of the fight u can actually hear it too which is really important for judging,
the problem is boxing needs to investigate the judges they picked and i mean really good, in every after fight...
and maybe add a little round by round inerview after the fight why they score it that way
when u had around 95% of boxing site giving the win to the loser means it aint right

Hot answers tagged bionicle
since the bionicle-pieces only have holes for technic-connections and no studs to use then directly with bricks, you'll have two possibilities: build some kind of "adapter" using technic-pieces. you could use pegs to connect the bionicle-piece with some kind of technic-brick. put the studs of your system-bricks into the bionicle-pieces technic-holes - ...
I found the answer while I was writing this question, but I'm posting question and answer just for dibs on the bionicle tag ;) The Peeron page for that mask I just linked to lists the part number as 32571. I do a search for the part number, and come across the Brickipedia page for that part. Scrolling down, I find the source: Transparent: 8525 ...
Those appear to be Bionicle figures, a theme that was active from 2001 to 2009 (and making a comeback in 2015, I hear). The line focused on buildable "action figures" (aka "constraction figures"). See here: http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Bionicle
The set in question is 8562 Gahlok. It's missing the legs and parts of its head.
This can be the format we use for a community wiki "official" name: Set(s) Release Date: Set(s) required: Model Picture: Link to instructions: "official" name: Akamai Set(s) Release Date: 2001~ Set(s) required: Tahu, Onua, and Pohatu(8531) Model Picture: Link to instructions: n/a "official" name: Wairuha Set(s) Release Date: 2001 Set(s) required: Gali(...
You will find most LEGO pieces, including those that are specific to the Bionicle theme on Peeron. For example here are your particular mentions: Technic Bionicle Weapon Flame Sword 2 x 12 Technic Bionicle Weapon Blade 12L Technic Bionicle Toa Inika Zamor Sphere Magazine Technic Bionicle Weapon Midak Skyblaster with Black Housing Technic Bionicle Rhotuka ...
The yellow one is the Glatorian-era Mata Nui, the red one with the staff is a Toa Nuva-era Rahkshi (Turahk, to be specific), and the green spider-thing is a Toa Hordika-era Visorak (Keelerak) that has been placed upside-down. The other four are Metru Nui Matoran, without their masks; the lighting makes it hard to tell what elements they correspond to, but ...
I heard a similar question about old cars and how one owner had a hood made of steel and another . . . same make, same model, same year . . . had an aluminum hood. The answer as to why was simple . . . it's the metal the manufacturer had at the time. My guess is once the molding machines are loaded with a color they keep using it until it runs out. Some of ...
As oezi says, Bionicle elements are usually compatible with Technic connections only, but there are quite a lot of system bricks which have Technic connections as well. As for what to do with Bionicle elements, only your own imagination can answer that. Once you've an idea about what a specific Bionicle element is going to represent in your creation, how to ...
Bricklink indicates that this is the "Bionicle Toa Nuva Leg Section."
Every LEGO brick has an ID printed somewhere on it. Grab the ID from any piece and then head over to http://brickset.com, then do a search (top right) and select "parts" from the dropdown list. This will show you all the sets that part is used in and you can go from there.
I'm not sure why you say "are nowhere to be found around here" - perhaps you mean Brick & Mortar stores? Both these Bionicle sets are available from the Norwegian shop.lego.com site:
Adding to zovits' answer, you also appear to have a Part 44136 attached to the Part 44139.
These are Bionicle parts, specifically the back spine of the 8588-1 Rahkshi Kurahk. The individual parts are: http://brickset.com/parts/design-44140 http://brickset.com/parts/design-44139
Bionicle sets don't actually make as many new pieces as they did. Typically, new pieces are weapons or heads, and LEGO company is already cool with green-lighting those. (They're sorta important.) Gen 1 Bionicles did, admittedly, have a lot of new pieces, but Gen 2 sets, you will frequently find, try to recycle concepts and pieces, just in different ...

Product Description
All this Victor Crowley and innards-squashing business will be familiar to fans of Hatchet, of which there are legions. Indeed, it feels as though Green has made Hatchet II as a love letter to them, raising the bloody-disgusting body count and creative means of murder--outboard motor, super-size chainsaw, belt sander--strictly to satisfy an urge felt only by the supremely devoted. Billed as an unrated director's cut, the DVD version will surely send them swooning with even more latex guts and buckets of Kool-Aid-colored blood than they might remember from midnight theatrical shows. Even the commentary tracks and making-of documentary are filled with backslaps dedicated to the exclusive Hatchet groupie club. Green is intentionally riffing on slasher films not only with the comic dialogue and dopey characters, but also by employing icons of the genre as actors. In addition to Hodder and Todd, Tom Holland, director of fanboy favorites Fright Night and Child's Play, turns up in another key role. Unfortunately, Green's sense of insider humor and commitment to a limited demographic seems to have clouded what could have been a more interesting movie. But you're probably not watching Hatchet II to see an interesting movie. You're watching to see a giddy homage to the glory days of practical gore effects and enjoy the goofy fun of howling at senseless characters that lose their heads and countless other body parts in ever more creative ways. --Ted Fry

Walcott has agreed a new deal believed to last three and a half years, pushing his wages close to £100,000 and ending speculation that another household name would leave the Emirates Stadium.
The 23-year-old, who led Arsenal's fightback in yesterday's 2-1 defeat at Chelsea with a clinical finish, admits it was difficult to concentrate while his future remained in doubt.
"For the last three games before Chelsea the contract was sort of done, but it was on my mind and had been for a long time because it was so close," Walcott told Arsenal Player.
"It is difficult to play and block out that side of it, but I tried to do the best I could and hopefully everyone was happy with what I did.
"I always wanted to stay and I am happy that myself and the club have come to an agreement.
"There has been so much speculation and I am very pleased my future is sorted. It is all about the present now."

Product Description
In The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), plus those they love, must deal with the chain of consequences brought on by a marriage, honeymoon, and the tumultuous birth of a child...which brings an unforeseen and shocking development for Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
Révélation – Partie 1, Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) et tous ceux qu'ils aiment, doivent faire face aux conséquences découlant d'un mariage, d'une lune de miel et de la naissance tumultueuse d'un enfant… qui provoquent un rebondissement choquant et inattendu pour Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 delivers strongly for the rabid fan base who have catapulted the young adult novel series and subsequent movie adaptations to the worldwide phenomenon that it's become, but it alienates a broader audience with a lack of any real action. Similar to the tone of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the first film of the two-part Twilight conclusion is heavy on romance, love, and turmoil but light on fight scenes and gruesome battles. The movie doesn't waste any time getting to the goods and opens with Bella and Edward's much-hyped wedding scene. It works--the vows are efficient and first-time franchise director Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) moves the party along quickly and amusingly with a well-edited toast scene and some surprisingly moving moments between Bella and her father, cast standout Billy Burke. The honeymoon plays as a slightly awkward soft-focus made-for-TV movie, with a lot of long moments spent staring in the mirror and some love scenes that feel at once overly intimate and completely passionless. It's a relief when Bella retches on a bite of chicken she's cooked herself and quickly concludes she's pregnant with a potentially demonic baby. From bliss to horror, the Cullens return to Forks, where Bella spends the second half of the movie wasting away and Edward and Jacob are aligned in their anger and frustration over her decision. Throw in some over-the-top scenes with Jacob and his pack--including a strange showdown where the wolves communicate in their canine form by having a passionate nonverbal fight in their minds (a plot point that works much better in print, it's portrayed in the film via aggressive voice-over)--and the film overshoots intensity and goes straight to silly. The birth scene is horrific, but not as gruesome as in the book, and by the end, Bella has of course survived, though is much altered. The final scene features a delightfully campy Michael Sheen as Volturi leader Aro and makes it clear that the action and fun in Breaking Dawn, Part 1 is ready to start. Fans will just have to wait until Part 2 to get it. --Kira CannySee all Product Description

The film deals with serious subject matter, and while the love scenes are not explicit, the birth scene could tramatise young girls, so I would not recommend the film for under 12's. I find the film best suited to 15 and up, as with the previous two.
It was sumptuous viewing with gorgeous sets and locations, emotion packed and compelling situations and characters. The symbolism was strongest yet in this film, very psychological, and it had the feel of classic literature about it as well.
Gripes are that I found the vampires not nearly as beautiful as they are described in Stephanie's books, especially the visiting guests, and the white makeup seemed more apparant, even tactlessly tapering off at hairline and necklines. Characters also have new hairstyles, making them not instantly recognizeable. I found myself thinking, "Hold on... who is this?"
It ends at a good place, we are not left with a cliffhanger. I really enjoyed it, and am looking forward to part two!
