Clubhouse is a gaming time capsule, a history lesson in earlier generations' forms of entertainment. It's ironic that a video game, which practically annihilated board and card games, is the medium to bring them back. One, the colourfully illustrated card game Koi-Koi, is a version of the Japanese card game Hanafuda. Nintendo had its start manufacturing Hanafuda cards in the late 1800s. Every kind of game is represented, from the most simple to others requiring considerable strategy. If the quantity of choice isn't great enough, each Clubhouse game's settings can be adjusted for a nearly brand new experience. Nintendo has even addressed of the matter of socialization. You can play electronic checkers all you want but there is something soulless about doing it solo. Here, using the DS P...
We know that if we don't win, that's it," [Tony Sparano] said. "We know we have to win. So it's hard to overlook anybody right now. "I told the team the other night, if you do think of playoff scenarios, and you do think the playoffs is already started, then last week was like a wild-card game," Sparano said. "If we're going to get to where we need to be, and we need to win three or four of these things, it's like a wild-card game." "We've gone into every game, one way or another it might have to be a slugfest. Even when we feel like we've played three complete sides of the ball like last week, we played pretty complete, it was still 16 to whatever. It's hard to overlook anybody for us right now," Sparano said of the 16-3, Week 14 win against Buffalo.
In stark contrast to every other trip I've taken, This mini-vacation was to be all about the kids, age four to 12, and at nine years old, [Justin Passey] fit the bill. But, he'd never been away from mom and dad and I'd never been responsible for another human being before. Sweeping aside my fears, preparations were made as the number of sleeps counted down till the big day arrived. Orlando, here we come! Justin was pumped to fly in a plane. I've done it dozens of times, so I know how tedious it can be. For departure day we pack plenty of snacks in our carry-ons, along with Uno (a card game), Justin's GameBoy and a shiny new reporter's notebook for each of us. I had our money, passports and one other absolute another essential for clearing U.S. customs in Winnipeg -- the letter drafted b...
That's because any team heading for the playoffs, as New York is, has to take care of itself. That means resting any starter who's hurting and playing others for just a smidgen of the game. Tampa Bay, who the Giants play in a wild-card game next weekend, is doing just that. In fact, this could be more like the final game of the exhibition season, which these teams played in Foxborough on Aug. 31. Bill Belichick didn't even dress most of his starters, the Giants played theirs for one series and New England won 27-20 in a game played largely by guys who were cut a day or two later. Tom Brady and Randy Moss, chasing records for touchdown passes and catches in a season, will start. So will the rest of the New England regulars because Belichick doesn't want Brady facing the team that leads t...
Smith, one of the Vikings' top pitchers and a part-time infielder, has committed to the Minot State Beavers for the 2008-09 season, becoming the third Westman product to agree to play for MSU next season. The Vikings have a good crop of veterans and a loss last year in the wild-card game that determined the final berth into provincials is still fresh in their mind.
At Cleveland, Joshua Cribbs returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown and Jamal Lewis rushed for 128 yards as the Browns beat the 49ers. Derek Anderson threw a TD pass to Braylon Edwards and Phil Dawson kicked two field goals as the Browns (10-6) finished 7-1 at home for the first time in club history. At Tampa, Fla., Carolina was victorious in Vinny Testaverde's final NFL game while the Buccaneers rested most of their starters for the playoffs. DeAngelo Williams rushed for 121 yards and two second-half touchdowns, lifting the Panthers with the retiring 44-year-old Testaverde taking the last snap in the same city where he began his NFL career in 1987. At Baltimore, Musa Smith ran for 83 yards and a touchdown in his first NFL start, helping the Ravens (5-11) earn their first victory sinc...

Up until now, there was very little done to remember these people," [Murray Rougeau] said. "It's just phenomenal what they've done. The institute raised money to erect the marker in several ways, including publishing a booklet entitled Dugald Train Disaster, Memories from 1947. The booklets are still available for $15 at the Dugald Convenience Store, the Transcona Historical Museum, and by sending a cheque for $18 (extra $3 to cover shipping) to the Springfield Women's Institute, Box 293, Dugald, Man., R0E 0K0. "His name was left off the headstone because his remains were never found," Rougeau said. "But he was a member of the train crew. I was later told he had been in a card game before going to work and he had won a bunch of change which he would have had on him. They found a lump ...
If Miami and Baltimore both win on Sunday, they will face each other in a wild-card game. Last year, the Dolphins' only win came against the Ravens, marking a low-point in Baltimore's 5-11 season. Talk about things coming full circle. Many coaches would choose to rest their starters if they were in the Giants' (12-3) position with first place wrapped up. But who can forget the memorable Week 17 game last year, when Tom Coughlin's G-Men gave the perfection-seeking Patriots all they could handle despite having nothing to gain in the standings? The season's final game couldn't have bigger stakes. The winner takes the AFC West crown, while the loser is left answering for a disastrous season. If the Broncos (8-7) blow what was a three-game lead with three to play, Mike Shanahan's seat could ...
It helps my walking, I'm more active," explains [Viola Ikin] of her exercise routine. "I feel much better. "The people I've known that have lived to 100 or over 100 also had an outlook on life that demonstrated flexibility and resilience," notes [Jocelyn Charles], medical director of aging and veterans care at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. "They went with the flow. They didn't get too ruffled about things for the most part." "I equate it a little bit to a card game. It depends initially on the cards that you're dealt, your genes, what you're born with. Because there are certain families that have the genetic profile that is associated with longevity," says Charles. "And then, in the analogy of the card game, it's how you play the game."
