  7. saints dont match up in the secondary...manning has a big game and colts roll....only hope for the saints is to get to manning early....could be over in the first half...saints win if they get over 6 sacks and 5 turnovers....colts 43-10
  8. if they were ballast i really dont think they was poured in...lots of stuff used as ballast was in containers...water is used in many modern ships.....just pumped in and around...marbles makes perfect sense...the maker had to pay a shipping charge...it wasnt free.....a ship with no ballast is hard to manuaver...so they had some kinda stuff in there....
  9. if its master you should be able to see the pinch to a point cutoff....it may be hard to see but it might be there especially with all the stuff goin on....
  10. if you mean ball bearings types it could mean a bunch of different materials to attain the hardness needed for the steel for the application...the only metal types i considered marbles was the folded types that are hollow...the others was tossed out like a democrat at a republican convention...
  11. right on scoop!!..buyin marbles as an investment or with dollar signs in your eyes will surely put a bad taste in your mouth...i still like goin thru them boxes of dollar mibs and cruisin the antique stores and fleas...
