This was first vehicle and custom when I was a kid in high school. I loved this truck. My Dad bought it brand new and said "You can do anything you want with it BUT DON"T TOUCH THE MOTOR! As you can see I did just that.

Haight-Brown VineyardRead MoreSince opening in 1975, Haight-Brown Vineyard has churned out 2,000 cases of grape-based libations each year from its nearly 10-acre vineyard and welcomed visitors into its rustic, cottage-like wine house. Emphasizing vinifera and French hybrid grapes, the state?s first-established winery creates a selection of wines that include the Big Red, a bold syrah; the Morning Harvest, a rich malbec; and Honey Nut Apple, a traditional apple wine that incorporates local honey and cinnamon. Vintners share their time-tested expertise during regular classes that teach aspiring oenophiles about a variety of vintages and techniques for cheese and chocolate pairing. Amid the tasting room?s wood accents and crackling stone fireplace, customers sample vintages and attempt to describe taste sensations with adjectives such as ?silky? or ?very different from milk.?29 Chestnut Hill Rd.Litchfield, CT US
Platinum Car Wash and OilRead MoreFrom their three locations, the auto mavens at Platinum Car Wash & Oil employ advanced water-reclamation systems and power-conscious equipment during cleaning and maintenance services. The facility's full-service car-wash tunnels spray paint jobs with Simoniz soaps, waxes, and foams before staff members dab rides with microfiber towels. They continue hands-on touch during signature or 20-minute express detailing sessions that unfold as auto owners explore the waiting area's magazines, complimentary WiFi, or leather couch cushions. Opposed to using recycled or reprocessed oils, the crew spurs pistons with Mobil oil and complimentary top-offs between services. They also help boost car with lube services, such as transmission drains, tire rotations, and VPS fuel-rail services that dislodge harmful debris and misplaced CDs from fuel- and air-intake systems.1420 E Main StTorrington, CT US
Sanctuary Power YogaRead MoreThe teachers at Sanctuary Power Yoga advocate a regular yoga practice as a way to bring greater peace and balance into everyday life. Because of the perspective shifts they?ve each experienced through yoga, they are eager to ease beginners into what may seem like a foreign or strange type of exercise. Their heated power-yoga classes suit all levels, emphasizing a flowing sequence that promotes moving meditation. Unheated slow flow allows students to learn proper alignment, and the gently held poses of restorative yoga relieve tension built up from carrying children to school everyday. The studio also holds workshops and events such as reiki sessions and card readings.23 Franklin St.Torrington, CT US
M.E.L.T. Fitness StudioRead MoreM.E.L.T. Fitness Studio's trainers see each body can be defined and molded with the appropriate exercises. Rather than a standard group workout for all their clients, they provide what they call group personal training, modifying and accentuating various exercises to the ability level of their students. They stick to a theme each day, reserving Tuesdays for fat-burning blasts, Fridays for abdominal work, and Saturdays for m.e.l.t.ed cardio, which burns as much fat as possible while building cardio endurance. Within that theme, they provide personal variations for each client to accommodate fitness level or injuries, very often naturally relieving chronic pain by carefully strengthening muscles around the affected area.517 Burlington RoadHarwinton, CT US
Harwinton Antiques & Design WeekendRead MoreThe Tailgate-Music Valley Antiques Show and Vintage Marketplace have been going strong for more than 30 years and have offered inspiring design ideas to everyone from new homeowners to seasoned antiquers.

On Saturday, February 16 at noon, expert designers will also host a hands-on decorating seminar.

Blind Mouth Singing, a new coming-of-age play by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas, has a few striking moments resulting from its structure, mostly after the friends swap clothes and names mid-play. But Cortiñas writes dialogue with a stilted lyricism and covers a lot of familiar domestic-drama territory. He assigns each character a pat, well-defined emotional need to work through by the end. And flatness and languor weigh down the slow drive to psychological resolution, where the playwright announces what we've already perceived and pumps the metaphors dry: "Your aunt, she accused me of poisoning our water supply with my failed love," says Mother (Mia Katigbak) at one point.
Director Rubén Polendo does an admirable job shaping space and moods with his cast. And Zach Zirlin's suggestive set design spreads the family's barren homestead far and wide. But despite their efforts, the play leaves us wishing at the well, too: If only less expected discoveries could be dredged up from it.

Looking for a inspiring book for a ambitious boy
Hello everybody
I know a ten year old boy who is very interested in drawing all kinds of robots, dragons, dinosaurs, ect.
He's a huge fan of all that stuff like walking with dinosaurs and various other movies.
He loves to draw because that's how he can bring hes imagination down to pager and he's quite good at it.
So I would like to give him a book as a present which will inspire and support him.
But I don't know which one... Do you guys have any ideas?
Please keep in mind that he's a kid... but quite good at drawing.
Do you have any ideas which books could be interesting?
A book which is both inspiring AND useful to learn how to draw would be best... but I have no idea if something like that exists.
Anyway, it would be great if you guys could give me some tips.
Thanks very much,

Not helpful to you whatsoever, but while he still has a strong imagination buy him language books. Russian or Chinese or something, he may not exactly learn to all too great an extent, but at least the foundation will be strongly cemented for when/if he decides to learn the language in more depth.
I dunno if I'm correct on this, but the way I see it the ability to learn languages fades with your ability to have sentimental attachments to inanimate objects, etc. Words are just words, but it seems to be that you need to attach a meaning to these words (well, of course) and the way that this is generally done is through the 'sentimentallity' of it.
For example Anya is a name, but if you know someone called Anya Anya is now that person. It's how sentences seem to make sense, despite they're just a string of sounds, which often even have abstract meanings. Such as the word 'often'.
So uh, no help on drawing, but push him (not to hard though) into languages.
[/off topic]
Also maybe go into the references section of the photography forum and print off a few images from there. Especially from the deep-sea creatures thread, I'm sure he'll love that - all the adults here do at least. Maybe not necessarily for drawing from, but at least for wowing at.

i suggest books displaying or focusing on different types of art from different cultures. like chinese art, or ancient art, or contemporary styles. to expose him to many styles so he can choose what he likes and develop his own.
but as far as specific 'how to' books on drawing?? well some good anatomy books will help him tremendously. Again there are many out there to just pick a specific one.
i bought a book a while back that was semi-helpful to me.. its called '50 Robots to Draw and Paint'.
its definitely a book for 'young minds'. give it a shot. and encourage the kid to keep drawing, and to draw anything he may see around him as well.. - JAG

any art section in a place like borders has ton of how to draw books for kids that age..like "how to draw fantasy monsters" or somthing like that.
jag, exposing a kid to fine art from different cultures sounds great, but i think if someone handed me a book like that at age 10 id be pretty bored.

There is a whole series of "How To Draw Manga" books that are both very trendy and good, serious resources. Just make sure you don't grab one of the adult-themed ones by mistake.
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

Give him a subscription to a weekend drawing class instead.
Socializing + drawing = best motivation.
March 1st, 2007 #8
Give him something that would appeal to a 10 year old. Something "cool" about drawing robots, dinosaurs, superheroes and explosions. Bridgman is a little heavy for a 10 year old. Hogart on the other hand might be a little better. "Dynamic figure drawing" has a lot of nice big pictures full of action and motion: stuff that would look "cool" to a 10 year old. The reading can come later, but first get him hooked on all the cool pictures. My parents got me a series of books when i was a kid, called something like "the world around us" or something like that. It was like a lexicon for kids that explained lots of cool stuff and as a fairly bright kid that loved to read it learned me a TON of stuff that always impressed my teachers. I knew stuff like how the cloud/rain/river/sea/steam cycle and how plant photosyntesis works before i started school.

I got a lot of cartooning books as a kid (moslty Walter Foster collection) and I still have and love them. Books that show you how to start from basic shapes to build your character are great. And mediums! I started pastels and watercolor because I received them as presents, and markers and colored pencils and acrylics!

Here are some of my suggestions:
How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way: It's old, but still in print and a great overall resource. I constantly had this book out from the library as a kid. The art is done by one of comic's great artists, John Buscema.
Drawing and Painting Fantasy Monsters, by Kevin Walker: A relatively new book, and one I seriously would have loved as a kid. Good walkthroughs, interesting designs, and illustrated by several very well established fantasy artists (Kev Walker is one of my favorite artists, and does lots of work for the Magic card game, comics, etc).
Like a previous poster, I recommend 50 Robots to Draw and Paint/50 Fantasy Vehicles to Draw and Paint. Both by Keith Thompson, these books are surprisingly well done and contain very imaginative, well-designed concepts. Some of them are a little scary, but I think a ten year old of today's generation could handle it.
As he gets older consider exposing him to books by Bridgman, Hogarth, and Andrew Loomis. Finally, check out various "Art of" books from movies, like The World of Kong, various Star Wars books, etc. Hope this helps!

thanks very much everybody!
That's exactly the information I was looking for.
These books look nice, I think I will choose one of them.

I hope I'm not too late for a recommendation of my own..
When I was ten, I picked up my first copy of Jack Hamm's Drawing the Head and Figure at a yard sale (my grandmother always seemed to drag me along to these things). Even now, I highly recommend this book to my students. Even though the stylings are dated, the construction techniques for the human figure used in this book are classic to this day.
March 2nd, 2007 #15Originally Posted by Seedling
I would recommend Andrew Loomis' Fun with a Pencil, I think you can still find copies of this floating around the internet.
Action Cartooning by Ben Caldwell is another good one.
But generally stay away from the "How To" and Chris Hart stuff
And possibly if he continues to enjoy drawing, step it up and get him some good anatomy books.

ST. TAMMANYPARISH, La. -- Two men have been arrested and third suspect is being sought in connection with a May home invasion, according to Capt. George Bonnett, a spokesman for the St.Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office.
Detectives arrested Beau Ledoux, 20, of Sun, La., and Chris Allo, 34, of Covington, Sunday. Ledoux was booked with one count of home invasion and one count of motor vehicle theft. Allo was booked on one count of criminal conspiracy, Bonnett said.
Authorities are looking for Jonathan 'Coffee' Hudson, 27, of Slidell. According to Bonnett, Hudson 'has an extensive history involving burglary and theft. He is believed to be armed and dangerous.'
'Working with agents from the Louisiana Office of Probation and Parole, Sheriff's office detectives developed information over the weekend identifying Ledoux as one of the suspects who entered a Covington area home May 4 and held four adults and one juvenile for more than two hours, demanding money they believed to be in the home,' Bonnett said.
Ledoux was arrested by deputies Saturday and, under questioning, he admitted his role in the crime. Allo was also arrested Sunday without incident, according to the sheriff's office.
'Investigators have determined that Allo arranged and planned the crime, while Ledoux and Hudson were in the home during the incident. Additional charges are expected to be brought on Ledoux and Allo later today, and Hudson upon his capture,' Bonnett said.
Anyone with information on whereabouts of Hudson are asked to call the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office at 985-809-8200 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.

Graduate Areas: Experimental - Behavioral Neuroscience
Specialty: Behavioral Neuroscience/Molecular Biology/Neurophysiology
Research Interests:
The Jasnow lab focuses on discovering how environmental experience alters emotional learning, as well as the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fear learning. PTSD and other fear-related disorders are thought to result from an interaction of genetic and environmental factors that enhance the likelihood of a pathological stress response and fear memory following severe trauma. Thus, if we can understand how genetic factors and environmental experience interact to alter basic brain function and ultimately emotional behavior, we can understand how these psychiatric disorders arise and develop potential therapeutic interventions. We use virus-mediated genetic manipulation and transgenic mouse models to discover the basic underlying brain mechanisms regulating prolonged physiological and behavioral responses to traumatic experience.

DHS Secretary Johnson offers few insights into management priorities

A 25-year-old woman Chandrakala was murdered allegedly by her husband Bastappa in their single-room rented portion at Vinayaknagar of Langerhouz, the police said on Saturday.
The couple hailing from Janagaon of Peddemul mandal in Ranga Reddy district came to city for living.
They got married eight years ago but had no children. Both were daily-wage earners but Bastappa stopped going to work for past two years having suffered an injury on his leg.
He got addicted to liquor and reportedly suspected fidelity of his wife. On Friday night, he strangled her to death and fled. Bastappa's sister living in another portion of the house found Chandrakala murdered the next morning and called in the police.

Mexican official: Drug spy says he leaked DEA info
MEXICO CITY A major drug cartel has infiltrated the Mexican attorney general's office and may have paid a spy inside the U.S. Embassy for details of DEA operations, Mexican prosecutors said Monday.
The Drug Enforcement Administration's intelligence chief expressed concern about the alleged spy's claims, but said he couldn't confirm that the Embassy had been infiltrated, and that it was too early to pull out undercover agents for fear their identities may have been compromised.
Mexico's Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora said five officials of his Organized Crime unit were arrested on allegations they served as informants for the Beltran-Leyva cartel. He said there are indications other spies still work inside his agency.
The Embassy employee, who also at one time worked for Interpol at the Mexico City airport, is now a protected witness after telling Mexican officials in Washington that he leaked details of DEA operations to the cartel, an attorney general's official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The official said he was not authorized to speak on the record.
"We are not planning changing anyone at the embassy at this point," DEA intelligence chief Anthony Placido said at a Washington news conference called to celebrate Mexico's capture of Eduardo Arellano Felix, a leading member of a violent Tijuana-based cartel.
"Law enforcement work anywhere in the world, and certainly in Mexico, can be perilous," Placido said in response to a question about whether the infiltration endangered undercover agents. "Is it dangerous? Absolutely."
U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza congratulated Mexico for Arellano Felix's arrest in a statement late Monday.
He said the DEA and the U.S. Marshals provided information on Arellano Felix's whereabout to Mexican authorities which helped them locate him.
"This is another example of the positive results when U.S. and Mexican law enforcement agencies share information," Garza said.
The revelations of corruption inside the control centers of the U.S.-Mexican anti-drug effort were a major blow to President Felipe Calderon's anti-drug campaign, in which he has sent tens of thousands of troops and federal police across Mexico to combat violent cartels.
Calderon himself has long acknowledged corruption is widespread in police forces, and Placido said that with billions of dollars flowing to the cartels from U.S. consumers of illegal drugs, some corruption is inevitable on both sides of the border.
Monday's case represents the most serious known infiltration of anti-crime agencies since the 1997 arrest of Gen. Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, then head of Mexico's anti-drug agency. Gutierrez Rebollo was later convicted of aiding drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes.
Despite the corruption, Mexico continues to arrest top smugglers. The latest came after a shootout with police and soldiers in Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, where Arellano Felix had allegedly been running the cartel with his sister and a nephew since several of their brothers were arrested or killed.
In Mexico City, Assistant Attorney General Marisela Morales said two top employees of her organized-crime unit and at least three federal police agents assigned to it may have been passing information on surveillance targets and potential raids for at least four years.

Developed by the same Firebrand Games team that gave players Race Driver: Create & Race, Grid expands on the grand-touring racing that typifies Codemasters' Race Driver series. Handheld gamers can still drive flashy sports cars around European circuits like Spa and the Nurburgring, but now they can also drift through the streets of Japan, speed downhill in Togue events, and careen through San Francisco and Washington D.C. in American muscle cars. Dedicated drivers can compete in events and championships in the career mode, while gamers looking for a quicker race experience can try time trials, speed tests, and chase events.

The DS version of Grid employs an updated version of the Create and Race track editor, featuring more than 60 individual track pieces and the ability to make customized fences and billboards. Players can use the free-draw tool to design a course or put together an entire championship circuit, then share up to four custom tracks online. Other online options include four-player races, global leader boards, and Grid servers for uploading and downloading custom courses.

Paris Hilton is special. And yes, I mean "special."
How is it possible for someone with such small breasts to have so much trouble keeping them inside her clothes? Here, Paris Hilton is shooting her music video (I know, don't get me started on that), and manages to pop out her nipples while rolling around in the sand. And she's even wearing pasties! She put stickers on her nipples to cover them up, yet she still manages to have a nipple slip.
I really don't know how she does it. I mean, that has to be a special talent, or something.
More Paris Hilton nipple slip pictures after the jump, including some close-ups. Thanks to TMZ for the vid.

MOVIE FEATURE: It's one curveball after another for maverick Clint Eastwood
It's one curveball after another for maverick Clint Eastwood
LOS ANGELES ---- Mileage and misadventure leave their marks, but we don't always notice the damage right away. Last Monday, for instance, Clint Eastwood had a realization that stopped him in his tracks just outside his bungalow on the Warner Bros. lot.
"Son of a gun," the 82-year-old muttered as he leaned over his beloved 1992 GMC Typhoon and dragged an index finger over the mysterious inch-long scratch marring the forest-green paint just above the grill.
A little later, sitting among the brown-leather shadows of his office, Eastwood seemed considerably less concerned about any dents in his reputation after his eccentric, meandering speech at the Republican National Convention late last month.
"I didn't want to do the usual teleprompter thing. ... I didn't know what the hell I was going to do," the genial star said of his spur-of-the-moment decision to use an empty chair as a prop representing President Obama. "If I had more time, I would have organized more. Maybe, but I don't know."
As Eastwood related his tales of Tampa, he nodded to the couch cushion next to him for effect, even though it wasn't empty ---- it was occupied by Robert Lorenz, the director and co-producer of "Trouble With the Curve." The two have worked together since 1994, and when Eastwood said the Republican leadership "probably had a little apoplexy" during the speech, a winking Lorenz said he could feel their pain.
"That kind of sums up what it's like to direct Clint Eastwood," Lorenz deadpanned. "You never know what's going to come out. But at least you have an advantage of having an editor afterwards."
The two laughed together, but during the interview there were moments when Lorenz's tight grin looked suspiciously like the silver-medalist smiles you see at the Olympics. If that were indeed the case, it would be understandable ---- Eastwood's screwball speech might be a strike against "Trouble With the Curve" before the movie even gets up to bat.
The movie, opening Friday, stars Eastwood as the cantankerous Gus Lobel, a baseball scout who may be in the last inning of his storied career as his eyesight goes out. He needs help, but it comes from the most unlikely source: his estranged daughter, Mickey, played by three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams.
The tightly wound Mickey is poised to claim a corner office in her elite Atlanta law firm, but she risks that by following her dad to the bleachers of a North Carolina ballpark; the risk might be worth it if she can finally unravel the reason her widower father abruptly exiled her from his life years earlier.

No one is swinging for the fence more than Lorenz.

Column: Green jackets deal Chinese teen a low blow
AUGUSTA, Ga. Guan Tianlang didn't need the school books he brought to America to learn two important life lessons in the Masters.
Don't ask your caddie too many questions. And never trust foolish men in green jackets to do what is right.
Put a 14-year-old whose first language isn't English in the heat of golf's most prestigious championship? Sure, might be a good way to sell millions more in television rights and make a Masters hat a hot item in China.
Allow him to act like an indecisive kid when facing the most monumental moment of his young life? About as much chance of that as having Jim Nantz call Masters fans something other than patrons.
What could have been an international incident Friday was avoided - barely - when the boy wonder of Chinese golf slipped inside the cut line at Augusta National. The youngest player ever in the Masters escaped to play the weekend along with Tiger Woods and the other elder statesmen of golf.
It didn't happen until Jason Day missed a birdie putt on the 18th green after almost most everyone else had gone home. Had it gone in, Guan would have gone home, too, ruining what just could be the best story of this Masters.
That it even came down to that should be an embarrassment to the stuffed shirts who run golf's most hallowed grounds. They're in charge of everything from the way sandwiches are wrapped at the food stands to making sure the azaleas bloom at just the right time.
And they're the ones who allowed a rules official to penalize Guan for slow play, something that as far as anyone can tell had never happened before in a Masters.
Not in 76 previous Masters. Not ever.
Guan couldn't figure out how to speed things up, even after he was warned. He kept asking his caddie questions and, as any parent of a teenager knows, decisions at that age sometimes don't come easily.
Still, he toed the party line after more than an hour in the clubhouse being briefed on who knows what.
"I respect the decision they make," said Guan, who has answered questions since he arrived in English, which he studies daily in the eighth grade.
Guan was an easy target, even though he and playing partners Ben Crenshaw and Matteo Manassero never held up the group behind them. He was slow, and even playing in the Masters at his tender age isn't an excuse for dawdling over shots.
But every threesome that teed off was taking five and a half hours to play a tremendously demanding course in swirling winds. Some of them included notoriously slow players, who understand what Guan didn't - how to game the system so they won't get penalized.
They picked on a 14-year-old because they could. He had no agents to protest, no minders to stare down the green jackets. Just his mom and dad, an interpreter, and a few family friends.

There is a new trail open in Skaneateles, running North from Elizabeth Street to Parkwood Place, the new entrance to the Parkside Community off Fennell Street. The trail has been in the works for a number of years. Parkside Development, in agreement with the village board, the planning board and the zoning board, has provided the village with approximately 1400 l.f. of curvilinear, wooded and semi canopied trail. Composed of compacted grit, the path meanders along the West side of Skaneateles Creek providing partially hidden and open vistas of the creek at its best.
The "pioneering fathers" wanted a Green Space feeling - a linear space that would soften the new housing community while preserving the pristine shoreline. The trail can also be accessed from two locations off Orchard Road. Two wooden bridges are to be found on the trail, as is a bucolic pond complete with cattails.
Over a year ago, John Hennessey, then president of the Rotary Club, volunteered to add trees, shrubs and splashes of seasonal color along the trail upon completion. Well, it is time to begin the planting, either this fall or next spring! John and I have prepared a Master Plan and budget to this effect. Now the Rotary will secure the plant stock and I assume look for community involvement toward the Phase I planting. This a great opportunity for high school Horticultural Clubs, Scout Troops, Garden Clubs, and the like to step up and give John a hand this Fall. A formal ribbon cutting will be held soon.

Scott Drahos grew up on his family's farm in Aurora, which is now the site of McKensie Childs Pottery. A retired army reservist and registered landscape architect, he has relocated back to CNY and now resides in Skaneateles. Reach him at email@example.com or he is often hangin' at the Creekside.

JSW Energy has received forest clearance for its planned 240 MW hydropower project in Himachal Pradesh, making way for the company to start construction of the project. The project, being set up at an estimated cost of about Rs 2,000 crore, was awarded to the company in 2007 but has not taken off due to lack of clearances. This would be the maiden hydropower venture of the Sajjan Jindal-led company which has an operational capacity of 2,600 MW and aims to scale up capacity to 11,770 MW.

Budget carrier SpiceJet's bet to stimulate demand through sale of cheap fares for a limited period for the upcoming lean season has paid rich dividends. The airline is said to have raked in over Rs 160 crore through sale of discounted fares within a period of just three days, which is about 40% of its monthly revenue of Rs 400 crore through ticket sales. The airline surprised the market by its announcement to sell a million tickets across its network for Rs 2,013 each. The offer was for a limited period of three days. The sales of tickets were for travel between February 1 and April 30, a period when airlines struggle to get loads on domestic flights. SpiceJet was able to sell over seven lakh seats out of the total 10 lakh that were on offer.
State-owned miner NMDC may revise iron ore rates for February because of firming prices of the key steel-making raw material internationally. The company's board will meet in the first week of February. The international rates have significantly gone up from $90 a tonne in last September to $150 per tonne now, but international pricing and domestic pricing are totally different things. The domestic companies have a 30% duty on iron ore exports from India. NMDC had slashed the price of iron ore lumps, mostly used by Indian steel makers, by 5.9% or Rs 320 a tonne for January, but kept the price of fines, which have less iron content, unchanged at Rs 2,610 per tonne.
Auto major Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) will start export of its sports utility vehicle XUV5OO to Latin America by September this year, besides expanding its base in Africa.

|Exploiting Skewed NFL Futures
|Written by TheSpread

Sports Betting; Exploiting NFL Futures
With the halfway point of the NFL season here, Pinnacle Sportsbook's NFL futures – revised after each week's play – now accurately reflect the current standings. Not only does Pinnacle Sportsbetting offer odds to win the Superbowl, the AFC Championship, the NFC Championship, NFL division odds plus unique props on Indy or the Bears going undefeated but the Pinnacle Sportsbook offers all of these at low juice with odds that offer up to 50% better value than other sports books.
What we are seeing at Pinnacle Sportsbetting is that much of the betting on NFL futures is still a reflection of players' perceptions of teams before the season began.
If you can divorce yourself from this mindset and evaluate teams solely on the basis of this year's play, that objectivity can give you an edge over many other players, whose judgment of futures is clouded.
The first step to accurately price NFL futures is determining how many games you expect each team to win. Many bettors are one step ahead on this point, already doing this via custom "power rankings". If you're not among them, you can borrow power ratings from other handicappers, or better yet, simply use the average of several handicappers' ratings.
The main concept of power rating systems is to provide a ready-reckoner for spreads between any two teams by taking the difference in their ratings. For example, if the Ravens were rated 24 and Cincinnati were 22, the Ravens would be a 2-point favorite on a neutral field. Conventional wisdom suggests that home field advantage (HFA) adds an additional 3 points.
Using power ratings, you're in a position to set a spread for every match-up a team has for the remainder of the season. From there, you can evaluate a team's chance of winning each game by looking at the moneyline for that spread. For example, a 3-point favorite is about a -150 favorite, which translates to (-150/-250 = .60), i.e., a 60% chance of winning. Following this process for each team, bettors can find a good estimate of how many games each team will win in total this season, giving a basis for assessing futures.
To arrive at a sophisticated personalized assessment to measure against futures at sportbooks, it's best to customize your ratings further by considering how each team's rosters might change in the coming weeks. Most power ranking systems try to predict performance based on a team's average during the season, but this might be skewed by the impact of a key player's absence, or return from injury.
A final factor to consider is how a team will play once it has locked up its division, a playoff spot, or home field advantage. If there's nothing at stake – not even a home field factor in the playoffs - teams tend to rest players and perform below expectations. In these instances, players can "fudge" the power rankings by making adjustments.
Once you determine how many games each team should win, certain divisional prices may jump out at you. If two teams have similar prices to win the division and you expect one to win a full half-game more, this probably represents a solid play.
In addition to futures on divisional champions, Pinnacle Sportsbook offers propositions on the Colts and the Bears to finish the regular season undefeated. If you've already set point spreads for each match-up, it's easy to adapt this to price the odds on either team going undefeated by simply multiplying the percentages for each team winning their remaining games. For this type of prop, there will frequently be value betting the "No" despite laying heavy odds.

Age-old fears perk up baby's ears
Babies react to a snake's hiss, fire's crackle and other ancient danger sounds
By Stephen Ornes, 13:25 PM September 23, 2013
A snake's hiss is creepy enough to give any kid a fright. And a fire's crackling may signal danger lurks nearby. Children learn to heed such threatening sounds or else risk peril. Fortunately, a new study finds, kids start paying attention to these types of sounds very early — by the time they're 9 months old.
This response to scary sounds has evolved in children over tens of thousands of years, the authors propose. In their new study, 9-month-old babies responded strongly to the sounds of a...

Are you searching for happiness, but find yourself looking in the wrong places? Have you reached the point where you'repraying just because you 'have to', and not because you find it irresistible? Are you worried that your heart is drifting further and further away from Allah and you feel lost without His Guidance? Do you fear that your actions lack sincerity, and long to devote yourself to your Lord for His sake alone?
It's time to take your worship of Allah to the next level!
Dear Seeker of Purification:
Stop waiting for the 'right time' to change. Wake up and address the reasons why you drifted away …
Be able to say 'Alhamdulillāh' and truly mean it…
Give your heart a much needed 'health check'. Determine whether or not your heart is ready for the journey to Jannah.
Introducing AlMaghrib Institute's blockbuster seminar:A Heart Serene: Studies in Tazkiyah. This seminar…no, this experience will allow you to engage in a dialogue with your heart. It will allow you to uncover the roots of disobedience, and learn about the most important aspect of our religion – the sincerity of our hearts and our connection to Allah.
Immerse yourself in two weekends of heart-softening, in-depth knowledge on the science of self-purification: "tazkiyah" itself. Understand what it means to truly worship Allah the way He deserves to be worshipped. Cleanse your mind of the misconceptions that surround the process of tazkiyah, and awaken your soul from its slumber to the love and remembrance of your magnificent Lord.
Listen to the words of your Creator:
"…the Day when neither wealth nor children can help, when the only one who will be saved is the one who comes before Allah with a heart devoted to Him."
(Sūrat'l-Shu'arā', 89)
What does this mean to you?
There will come a Day when NOTHING will benefit you except a sound, pure and devoted heart.
Have you achieved that yet? Are you ready to meet your Creator?
If you're unsure of the answer, this is the seminar for YOU.
A Heart Serene: Studies in Tazkiyah is based on a classical text authored by the "Scholar of the Heart", Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah. Follow our teacher -ShaykhRiadOuarzazi - as he delves into the knowledge of the soul and the advice of the scholars on how the Believer can achieve closeness to the Creator.
"…to cleanse you, to remove Shayṭān's pollution from you, to make your hearts strong and your feet firm."
(Sūrat'l-Anfāl, 11)
Allow the Mercy of Allah to transform your life by understanding the meaning of your existence.
Ever found yourself thinking, "Is this all there is to life?"
Answer: There is meaning to your life.
"I created jinn and mankind only to worship Me."
(Sūrat'l-Dhāriyāt, 56)
To understand the objective of your creation is to understand the worship of Allah. This seminar will enable you to put yourheart back in your actions. No more empty movements and mumbled words in Salāh. No more just starving yourself in Ramaḍān. No more going through the motions in most of your acts of worship. Love your Creator! Begin the process of self-purification NOW!
Prepare yourself for the Journey to the Hereafter…
Take active steps in cleansing your heart, preparing it for true submission to Allah subhānahūwata'āla. Feel the sweetness of having your mind, body and soul in sync.
Understand the meaning and categories of worship. Free yourself from the whispers that cloud your worship.
Identify the traps of Shayṭān and their effects on the Believer's heart. Find rest in the remembrance of Allah.
Contemplate on the greatness of Allah's Mercy in your life. Be genuinelypleased with Allah and His Messenger.
Truly comprehend the meaning behind the hadīth: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad (sallallāhu 'alayhiwasallam) as my Prophet and with Islam as my religion"
"This seminar changed my life, and helped me realize my reason for being put on this earth! Don't count on tomorrow it might never come! Since March 2010 I have attended every seminar that has come to my city! Thank you AlMaghrib."
- - Alya Butt
"I have never experienced such brotherhood among my friends. Quoting from the seminar, "Our hearts are in need of Allah more than anything else in this world"."
- - Mohamed Tahir
"Sheikh Riad is simply out of this world! This is a must attend seminar! By the permission of Allah, It has changed my life, Alhamdulillah."
- SyamiraAsyifa
"This was a fantastic, breathtakingcourse,Shaykh Riyadh made me laugh and cry."
- ZaibaSadiq
"I cannot describe how incredible and amazingly useful this seminar is. Everyone that has the opportunity to attend this course MUST do so. Sheikh Riad is an incredible teacher. Totally hilarious!! You learn a lot about yourself and have this need to change and be a better person. Beware though, you will cry a lot. Sad and happy tears! I loved every second of this seminar and I didn't want it to end! May Allah reward you and bless you Sheikh and your family!"
- Warda Hamza
"This course has changed the way I see life and the hereafter. I realised that I was still focusing too much on this life and not striving enough for the hereafter. I felt embarrassed that I could not answer simple questions such as "why we worship Allah?" After completing the course I felt so much more enlightened and I felt a new love for Allah and his messenger that I had never experienced before. Now I feel myself always thinking about the Paradise and the hope of seeing Allah's face. I truly recommend this course for every person as it really opens up your eyes and puts this world into perspective."
- Rebecca Ibrahim
Reason 1: Your Ākhirah depends on it!
The Messenger of Allah (sallallāhu 'alayhiwasallam)said: "Verily, actions are judged by intention" and the location of the intention is in the HEART. So are you willing to risk the loss of a lifetime's deeds because your heart wasn't in it?
Reason 2: Unparalleled access to authentic Islamic knowledge!
ShaykhRiadOuarzazi has an Islamic education degree from M. Abdullah University and is an expert in the area of tazkiyah. His zany, energetic yet practical teaching style is sure to captivate students.
Reason 3: Tranquillity and Ease, guaranteed!
Allah subhānahūwata'āla has stated that the source of comfort and ease for the Believers is to be foundin His remembrance:
"Truly it is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts find peace."
(Sūrat'l-Ra'd, 28)
Put your heart at ease by paving the path to Paradise through knowledge.
Other courses on tazkiyah may 'touch' your heart, but leave you in the same spiritual rut a few weeks later. A Heart Serene: Studies in Tazkiyah will empower you by giving you the tools you need to sustain the benefits, long after the seminar has come to an end. But don't just take our word for it, see below and the testimonials and more here to realise just how incredibly the seminar has been received ma shāAllāhtabārakAllāh.
"A heart serene...Wallahi the name says it. It was one of those classes where we cried our hearts to serenity. I have only attended one class with ShRiad but without exxageration, I am EAGER to be in his class again. It is not only his exciting, fun and forward teaching style, but his sincerity. I connected with him as a father figure for he teaches like one would teach his own child. Without giving away any class valuable material, one good daily habit that came in practice after this class was:dhikr&tawbah. It has been 2 years and 1 month as I write my testemonial& this class is still impacting me with vivid memories. If you miss it, make dua you get the opportunity to attend it. And if you attended it, make dua that you & I may attend it again Inshaallah!"
– Maha Siddique, Calgary
Shaykh Riad Ouarzazi is a very rare find! His energy and passion for teaching is extremely evident in his style and approach. His students have dubbed him "The Heart Doctor" as he often requests them for their hearts to (metaphorically!) conduct a "bloodless open-heart surgery".
ShaykhRiad was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and, after achieving Islamic education degrees from M. Abdullah University, he moved to the States in 1988, where he pursued a Bachelors in International Management and a Masters of Science in Computer Information Systems. He also attained certificates in personal development, business management and coaching.He studied 'Aqīdah under ShaykhWaleedBasyouni and Fiqh under ShaykhWaleedIdrees.
He has been active in Islamic work across the world whilst living in Canada, the US, and the Middle East and now resides with his family in Tangier, Morocco.
We started up in 2002 with a simple question - how could we teach you Islam in a way that was fun, social, quality, spiritual, and oh yeah, academic?
We asked around, and it turned out people wanted teachers who knew their stuff and who didn't turn learning Islam into a snoozefest, they wanted super quality and they didn't want endless weeks of lectures that would get in the way of their busy lives.
We listened. AndAlMaghrib Institute was born. Based upon an ethos of excellence and a refusal to accept excuses for poor quality, we offered single and double-weekend seminars, with the most engaging instructors around, using top professional multi-media materials. Since that time, your response has been insane! You've asked us to establish chapters (also known as Qabeelahs) in over 40 cities worldwide, from North America, to Europe, to Asia, to the Middle East and to Australia too! Amazingly, we've now taught the Islamic Sciences to over 80,000 unique students and growing every day.
With the blessings of Allah, Most High, AlMaghrib is now the leading Institute teaching premiere Islamic education in the West with the largest on-site student body. Year by year, we've set the standard and launched exciting new projects, inspired so many more to do great work in their communities, and raised the bar on how knowledge is not only sought...but loved!
AlMaghrib is exceptionally selective about its instructors to ensure that all of them are fluent in the language of instruction. It delights us and our student body that our seminars are taught by highly specialized scholars and educators who are among the best in their field, bar none.
Take the website for a spin: discover our seminars, explore the curriculum, find out about our high-impact projects, log in to your MyAlMaghrib Student Portal, and engage with us on our social networks. We think you will agree that what we offer by the Will of Allah is nothing but the best.
AlMaghrib is a non-profit organization.
