Smart move. A Manning vs. Manning Super Bowl may be a long shot this season. The Colts are the better bet, having won their first 10 games in a row and a near lock on home-field advantage in the AFC play-offs, where the RCA Dome's fast artificial turf will make Indy's no-huddle offense almost impossible to stop. Still, the surprising Giants (7-3 going into last weekend) have a good chance at a postseason slot in the tight NFC East. And the conference is as wide open as Terrell Owens' yap--football fans can surely...
...technology of the day. His scenes of grandeur are framed in a manner similar to those that would make him famous—but they are presented with too much contrast and a washed-out sky.Then at last one comes to “Monolith: The Face of Half Dome, 1927,” which the museum bills as Adams’ great revelation. It’s in this photograph, the exhibit says, that Adams first used his technique of “pre-visualization,” through which he captured and predicted the emotional impact...
...sixth-grader's second lobbying trip to Washington this year. With the dome of the Capitol building rising above her, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Hillary Clinton and John Kerry nearby, Walters stood on the West Lawn and explained why she opposed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: "The people who want to drill in the Refuge talk about all these fancy tools and technology they can use to get a little oil ten years from now," she said, in a louder, stronger voice than when she delivered the same speech to congressmen in the spring.

...place of a cave, Energetech's four-story-high floating power plant has an open-based, dome-roofed chamber with a narrow opening at the top. As the waves rise and fall inside the chamber, compressed air is forced in and out of the opening, past a turbine that drives a generator. The device, which has been dubbed an "oscillating water column," has been the basis of several plans for generating useful energy. But Denniss, a former lecturer in mathematics and oceanography, curved one wall of the chamber to amplify the wave, much as a car headlight's concave reflecting...
...burgeoning bar scene, the imposing, Art Deco-inspired La Paix formally launches the architectural career of Bill Bensley. The landscape designer behind the much-admired gardens and terraces at the Four Seasons Chiang Mai, Bensley proves that his talents extend to bricks and mortar here, with a massive glass dome that awes on arrival, as well as 107 guestrooms that exude understated chic and come equipped with luxurious rain showers (perfect for washing off any dust accumulated during your rambles through Angkor Wat). Evenings should be spent dining on the fabulously spicy cuisine at the hotel's restaurant, Meric, aptly...
