Budget Worksheets - Learn How to Effectively Track Your Weekly and Monthly Spending

When you start working with making a household budget it is extremely important to track your spending and all your expense both on a weekly and monthly basis. Many people dread tracking their expenses and recording every receipt but this is by far the best way to gain control over your spending. There is always a huge gap between what people think they spend and what they actually spend each month. So, tracking your spending is the only way to establish a working budget.

In order to track you spending you will need the following two budget worksheets:

WEEKLY

#1 Weekly Expenses Report Worksheet - On this worksheet you will record all the spending for a given week. You will want to have four copies of this worksheet for a given month. Carry it with you to record expenses or make a habit of recording expenses at the end of the day with your daily receipts. Make sure to include a description of the item, the date purchased, the amount and the expense category. You will also want to write down how you paid for the item whether by cash, check, or credit card. This will give you a very detailed report of your weekly spending.

#2 Monthly Expense Record Worksheet - After you have filled out your weekly worksheet for a given week, you will want to transfer all spending and expenses over to the monthly expense record worksheet. It is very helpful to first fill out the weekly expenses report worksheet because people forget to record certain spending when just using the monthly expense record worksheet along.

After filling out these two worksheets you will have effectively tracked your spending for the month. Using the monthly expense record worksheet, you will now have the information you need to create a working budget for next month.

Build You Own Chopper - Things to Consider Before You Start

When it comes to people wanting to learn more about how to build a custom chopper they will find that the internet is a great source of information. Today not only will you be directed towards sites where you can arrange for one to be built for you but places where you have the opportunity to build your own from scratch.

However when it comes to how to build a chopper for yourself there are certain things that need to be taken into consideration beforehand. In this article we look at what some of these are.

CHOPPER

1. Space - If you are going to be building your own custom chopper whether using a kit or through buying the parts yourself you need ample room to do the project in. Therefore you should use either a garage or large workshop for this project. It is important that the space you use is one that provides you with plenty of room to move freely around the bike as it is being built.

2. Using The Right Parts - If you intend to build your chopper from scratch then only use the parts recommended by the company who provide you with your building plans. If you don't then the parts you use may well not be of a quality that you would expect and could end up endangering not just your life but the lives of those around you. It is important that you purchase only brand new parts rather than used ones for constructing such a machine.

In fact the best advice we can give you if you are going to be building your own custom chopper is to use a bike kit. Not only do these come with all the necessary parts to construct such a machine they will be brand new and of the highest quality possible.

NFL Weekly Picks Favorites Take a Punch in Week One

The first football Sunday is in the books and if your NFL weekly picks didn't quite go as planned, you have a lot of company. And if you think you're feeling out of sorts, imagine how the Colts and 49ers must feel.

weekly pill organizer

It's not uncommon for the Colts to go down to Houston and take a punch in the mouth. The difference has always been that Indy has found a way to get off the mat and go Rocky Balboa on the Texans. Not this time. The Colts defense made a Week One star out of Houston running back Arian Foster, who ran for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Texans' 34-24 win.

WEEKLY

Lest ye think Peyton Manning was merely mortal on Sunday, ye would be mistaken. Ye Olde Sheriff was on point, throwing for 433 yards with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. But he could have used a little more help from his deputies. Some key drops by Pierre Garcon and a fumble by Austin Collie inside the Texans' 10-yard line helped corral a couple of Colts drives.

The loss reaffirmed suspicions that the Colts may not be able to walk over the AFC South as in years past. The Titans and Jaguars have shown an increased ability to compete and if Indianapolis' defensive failures were more flaws than flukes, the Colts could be in for a season-long dogfight.

Meanwhile, a lot of NFL weekly picks came in on the side of the San Francisco 49ers. While no one considered them a true Super Bowl contender, they certainly seemed to be the best team in a bad division - and definitely good enough to take care of the Seattle Seahawks in Week One, right?

Right?

In maybe the most disappointing single team performance on Sunday, the 49ers were dazed on defense and confused on offense during their 28-6 blowout loss to the 'Hawks. San Francisco marched deep into the red zone on three first-half possessions and tallied just two field goals and a failed fourth-down attempt.

The Niners couldn't even work together in the locker room after the game. Head coach Mike Singletary said the offensive confusion and burning of timeouts was the fault of headset communications problems. But quarterback Alex Smith said the issue was the coaches' inability to signal in plays in a timely fashion.

After one week, there's no hard evidence that the 49ers can't still win what is a definitely a weak division. But the on- and off-field performances on Sunday showed that the Boys from The Bay still have a lot of work to do.

Make Money With Weekly Room Rentals

Yes, you can make a lot of money with weekly room rentals in your home. In fact, it is what allowed me to pay off my first mortgage after only a few years. Of course, you have to think about two things before you get started. First, you have to decide if you want thousands of dollars of extra cash each year. Perhaps that's an easy one to answer.

weekly dry erase calendar

The next issue is whether or not you want to live with other people in your home. Most of the time they will be strangers, although you could try to rent out the rooms only to people you know (I mostly rented to coworkers from the casino where I was employed at the time). If you think you can tolerate the company, read on.

WEEKLY

Why weekly room rentals, rather than monthly? There are a couple good reasons to charge by the week rather than by the month. The first has to do with the people you will typically rent to and why they are renting a room rather than getting their own apartment. You see, most of the time people rent rooms because they do not manage money all that well.

It isn't just about saving money versus an apartment, although that's a motivator as well. It is often because the tenant cannot handle saving up from each check to have the rent money ready at the start of each month. If it was just the total rent that was the problem, after all, he or she could share rent with a friend or two. So by charging the way most people get paid - weekly or bi-weekly - you help solve this problem, and you make it more likely that you will be paid on time. This is also why you should include all utilities in the rent, by the way. Room renters don't like surprises. It is better to just raise the rent if you notice your electrical bill getting too high.

There is another reason why it is best to rent by the week. It has to do with the relationship between you and your tenants. Weekly rentals appear to have more in common with a hotel room than an apartment or house rental. Thus, regardless of whether or not they are treated like the one or the other according to local laws and regulations, it makes it easier to evict a renter who is a problem or who doesn't pay the rent. This is also why I never had my room renters sign any rental agreements. With weekly cash rent and no formal document, they never felt like they had a right to be in my home if I no longer wanted them there.

In many areas you can get up to 0 or more per week for a room if you include all utilities. If you have two rooms to rent - or can create them out of space in an attic or basement - you can have an extra ,000 per year coming in. Just keep it simple, find good tenants, and make them weekly room rentals for the reasons given.

Flower and Butterfly Tattoos - A Gorgeous Combination

Flower and butterfly tattoos work well together. If you could only stand for one thing, what would it be? Your tattoo is a reflection of your thoughts and your beliefs. To come up with a tattoo that is uniquely you, you want to ask yourself, if I could pick only one symbol to express myself what would it be. If you can't come up with just one, that's fine, you may find that you're a blend of a couple different symbols because you have a blend of a couple different personalities. Let your tattoo express that. You can combine different tattoos to come up with your true expression.

chopper frames

There are two elements in nature that are used to express a lot of different meanings through tattoos - flowers and butterflies.

CHOPPER

There is an enormous choice of flower tattoo designs available. Flower tattoos are very flexible. Not only are there hundreds of different flowers but each has a symbolic meaning which can give you a number of ways to show your true self to the world. If you combine two different flowers together, you are not only mixing different colors but different symbols to capture a unique feeling. Do a little research on the meaning of flowers so you can be sure of the statement you are making to the world with your tattoo.

Butterfly tattoos can symbolize so many things. Everyone knows how a caterpillar changes into a beautiful butterfly, only to live for a short time. A butterfly tattoo can symbolize a new beginning or embarking on a new adventure. It can also express the fragility of life.

You can add two different flowers together or two different butterflies and have a great tattoo. But when you add a flower and a butterfly together, you open up a whole new world of possibilities. Not much is prettier than a picture of a butterfly about to land and taste the sweet nectar of a flower.

Women with beautiful tattoos are often considered to be more confident, more feminine and more attractive. It is hard to find a more sensual being than a woman with a flower and butterfly tattoo placed just so you can see it on the shoulder, lower back or ankle.

Music Software In 2001 - A Massive Step From 'Stretch And Pitch' To 'Cut And Paste'

The Olden Days: circa 1996

chopper bicycle frames

It was only a few years ago when my sample sourcing colleague would turn up with a pile of cassettes and vinyl ready to make a tune using an AKAI sampler and an Atari ST. The first thing I would do is to try and establish the main rhythmic part, which invariably contained some sort of tuned item such as a bass line and then sample it, loop it and try and work out the tempo and key of that sample. Of course it would never be at the tempo we wanted so we'd tune it up or down to get the effect we were after, but then it would be in a different key entirely so I'd sit there with a calculator working how far to timestretch the original sample to get the tune into the desired key. The situation becomes even more tedious when you add other samples where you either have to do the same again or set it up so you could edit the sample whilst auditioning it with your bass and drums. We would literally spend an entire weekend looping 'round the same 8 bars trying to get a dozen or so samples to just sound OK together. I knew there had to be a better way...

ACID Today

ACID PRO 3.0 is the latest version of Sonic Foundry's multi-award winning loop based music creation software that allows the user to create original, royalty-free music with a simple click, paint, and play interface. Over the years, Acid Pro has evolved into a mature program with a wide range of features. This latest version is especially attractive for video and multimedia producers. The new video track, with its associated scoring tools, lets you sync your multiple audio tracks to video. Using the video track as your guide, you can change the tempo of the audio (without changing its pitch) or time-stretch it, in order to line up the audio with the exact frame of your video. While Acid Pro is limited to just one video track, its superior audio features, including DirectX plug-ins, loop-creation tools, and loop-editing tools, make it an excellent environment for merging audio with a work-in-progress video. If you need additional video tracks, you can import your Acid tracks directly into Sonic Foundry's Video Vegas.

In Use

If you're familiar with other time-grid software programs, such as Adobe Premiere or Macromedia Flash, you should feel right at home with Acid. On a basic level, it's as easy as finding an audio loop and pasting it into one of the audio tracks. You use only one loop per track, so adding a musical phrase is as simple as grabbing the drawing tool, moving the cursor to the point where you want the loop to begin, pressing the left mouse button, moving the cursor forward and releasing the mouse button where you want the musical phrase to end. Because the program keeps all the loops in the same musical key, maintains a consistent tempo and starts and stops each loop at the exact beginning and end of the measure, you don't have to mess about pushing samples about on the timeline. This takes away nearly all the tedious activities that I just mentioned.

You can download royalty free samples at any time by hitting the "Get Media" button and downloading sound packs from the web. Although this is a good easy way to get started and learn ACID, if you don't source your own samples then your tunes may well sound like everyone else's. ACID is such a doddle to use that I think you should spend more time sourcing and editing your samples as you will spend less time throwing them altogether when you are ready to compose your tune. ACID treats mp3 samples just the same as wavs.

Once you have the rough mix of your tune together you can then start playing with effects, panning etc. which are done with software 'plug-in' effects. These work well and can be edited in real time and can be downloaded from the internet.

Beatmapper and Chopper

Other useful features include a Beatmapper remixing tool that helps you add beats, combine musical loops with existing audio files, overlay samples and add tempo information to longer audio files. In fact the Beatmapper Wizard automatically kicks in if you try to import any samples longer than 30 seconds. It works well, detecting the first downbeat and then testing the rest of the track for rhythmic accuracy. At any stage in this process you can dive in there and manually point to the beat if your sample is more complex than a straight 'four to the floor'.

A Chopper editing tool lets you create drum fills, stutters and DJ-style effects to your audio files. Experimenting with the Chopper can yield some very interesting slice-and-dice effects. No matter how you mangle the audio with the Chopper, the altered loops always play in sync with your other tracks.

Audio and MIDI

This latest version supports 32 effects per track, 32 effect chains that feed 26 busses, and sample rates as high as 192 kHz. Also new is MIDI file support, including MIDI record and playback. As with the video track, the MIDI support is limited. For example, there's no provision within the program for editing a MIDI file. Similarly, audio recording is bare-bones. If you need to combine your loops with multiple MIDI or linear audio tracks, you'll want to augment Acid with a more traditional audio-editing program. Fortunately, you won't have to look far; the Acid Pro 3.0 package includes Sound Forge XP Studio and Vegas Audio LE. The boxed version also includes Sonic Foundry's XFX 1, XFX 2 and XFX 3 collections of DirectX plug-ins, as well as more than 600 music loops.

Saving and Publishing your work

The save as dialog box gives you two options: an ACID project file (.acd) or an ACID project with embedded media (.acd-zip), the latter is an excellent way to share unfinished projects with people as you do not have to provide all your wav files and their locations. You can also burn a CDR straight from ACID assuming of course that you have a CD writer! Also you can publish your work straight to ACIDplanet.com, have a look and see what all the fuss is about.

Conclusion

I like it. I have actually now decided to breakaway from my Cubase mentality and use ACID full time. I'll probably still carry on editing my loops in Wavelab because that's what I know, but I really think ACID 3.0 is the way forward. If you think looping programs are severely limited in the kinds of music they can produce, visit Sonic Foundry's web site and download the free trial version of Acid Pro 3.0. Based on the ease and power of this program and the incredible range of the loop CDs, Sonic Foundry has created a set of tools that can serve video and multimedia producers, just as they already serve music and movie producers.

How to Get a Tactical Nuke in Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2

I am going to describe 2 different methods for getting a tactical nuke in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But first, let's go over some basic tips and tricks that will get you on the way to launching your first tactical nuke on the enemies.

chopper handlebars

Use a sniper rifle or assault rifle with a scope. Use whatever scope fits you and the map the best, but I recommend ACOG or thermal. Have the Harrier Strike, Chopper Gunner/AC130, and Tactical Nuke 25 Kill Streak unlocked before you enter the game. This is the most important part. You can choose whatever perks fit you, but you must have the Scavenger Perk or you will have to run out to the battlefield in order to get new weapons. Play in Ground War. If you are in a small game the enemies might not respawn (Search and Destroy), or will be less plentiful to kill. Get ready to be frustrated. Whether you get killed at 6 kills in a row or 24 kills in row, this will take a long time. A tactical nuke will not just fall in your lap, you have to persevere.

CHOPPER

The Chopper Gunner Way

This is my favorite way to get your nuke to win the game. First you must find a really good spot that can be easily defended, hard to find/see, and bulletproof (think concrete walls). Once you rack up 6 kills call out your Harrier

Strike on an enemy infested area. This should get you a couple kills, and through sniping you will get to chopper gunner. Make sure there are no enemies around you and go into prone in a safe place. If you prefer the AC130 you can use that, but I prefer the Chopper Gunner.

Use the Chopper Gunner to destroy the enemy and to get yourself in the 20 kill streak range. Play it safe once you are his far and achieve your tactical nuke through more sniping. Congratulations!

The Hard Way

Repeat the previous way by getting a Harrier Strike and getting a few kills until you get a Pavelow. The pavelow is a powerful weapon but I don't recommend replacing it with your chopper gunner/AC130. This might get you to a tactical nuke if you are lucky!

Weekly Fantasy Football - Week 5 Defense Picks

Week 5 marks the first week of byes, which limits the available fantasy players this week. Baltimore, which has been the only dominant defense through 4 weeks, is off. There are not too many other defenses that you can be confident in no matter the opponent. The best advice may be stay away from whoever is playing Aaron Rodgers.

weekly calendar

Week 5

WEEKLY

1. New York Giants

The Giants have a great defensive line, and although they have given up a lot of points, they should be able to force Tarvaris Jackson into mistakes and turnovers. The Giants have 8 takeaways, and they should have a strong game against the 30th ranked Seattle offense.

2. Cincinnati

The Bengals are surprisingly leading the league in total defense giving up only 275 yards per game. Their solid defense stepped up to knock off the undefeated Bills in week 4, and should have an easier time against Blaine Gabbert and the Jaguars in week 5. Jacksonville has scored the least points in the league at only 9.8 points per game, and the Bengals should be able to shut them down.

3. Detroit

Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford are getting most of the pub for Detroit's 4-0 start, but their defense has been impressive in its own right. After starting out slow, they have only allowed 13 total points in the second half against the Vikings and Cowboys. They also had two TD's on picks against Tony Romo in week 4. Look for the Lions front to pressure Jay Cutler, who is prone to bad decisions.

4. New York Jets

It is generally not wise to pick a defense that is going to New England to face Tom Brady. However, Rex Ryan and the Jets have contained the Patriots offense better than any other team the past two years, including a brilliant performance in the playoffs last year. The Jets have been the second best fantasy defense behind the Ravens, and could frustrate Tom Brady this week.

5. Tennessee

The Titans have the best scoring defense in the league, giving up only 14 points per game, just ahead of 14.3 from the Ravens. This week they go to Pittsburgh, a team that looks much weaker than the super bowl team from last year. Mike Wallace is dangerous, but overall the Steelers have struggled to score. This one should be a defensive struggle.

Sleeper: Houston

After having one of the worst defenses in the league for the last several years, the Texans look much more physical than they ever have. They rank 4th in scoring defense giving up only 17.5 points per game. Although they are not great against the rush, if they can get ahead of Oakland early, it might force Jason Campell to attempt to bring the Raiders back.

Cool Tattoo Ideas - The Best Tattoos

About three years ago, my friend and I decided that we both wanted to get tattoos together. Once we agreed to get them, we began our search for cool tattoo ideas. We were not exactly sure what kind of a tattoo we wanted to get, or where on our bodies we wanted to get them, we were completely new to the process.

chopper rolling chassis

Without knowing where to begin our hunt for tattoo ideas, we were brought to the internet by our instincts. We searched over and over for different tattoo designs in Google Images and although we found some creative designs, we discovered an obvious pattern that consisted of repeat pictures being found. Once we discovered this pattern, we were a little disappointed, we wanted to go on-line and find a design that was unique, not redundant.

CHOPPER

After having been let down by our Google searches, we resorted to actual tattoo parlors for cool tattoo ideas. We went to three different tattoo shops and spent numerous hours just flipping through pages of tattoo designs that we both knew thousands of people have already looked through and/or gotten tattooed onto themselves. After the third tattoo parlor, we had just about seen enough and had lost our motivation. The end result was us, drawing our own tattoo and bringing it in to the tattoo parlor we chose.

A few months later, we were looking around on the internet trying to find an alternative to the above mentioned methods that we unsuccessfully tried out in order to find some cool tattoo ideas and we came across a few online tattoo membership websites.

The benefits of joining one of these tattoo websites is incomparable to any amount of research that can be done by hand in order to find your tattoo design of choice. We chose to join Tattoo-Me-Now simply because, to us, it stood out from the others with its interactive tattoo community. So for just over 30 dollars (which we split the cost of), we were able to gain instant, lifetime access to thousands of tattoo designs for every type of body area you can imagine, a members blog, tattoo videos, a gallery of tattoo pictures uploaded by other members, and a directory to the best tattoo parlors in 38 different countries.

When you consider the amount of time and stress used to find cool tattoo ideas without a membership to a tattoo website, it is really a good investment, whether you plan on only getting one tattoo or several throughout your life.

Why a Weekly Planner Should Be Your Most Treasured Companion

Monthly calendars are an invaluable tool, no doubt. I'll bet my bottom dollar you have one in your home, just like I do. The trouble with a monthly calendar is that although it gives you a good overview of the whole month, it's not a practical tool to start planning with. There's just too many days in the month to plan for! A much better idea is to use a weekly planner or weekly calendar. A weekly planner lets you delve right into your week, day by day, hour by hour. And in this article you'll learn why a weekly planner should be your most treasured office companion.

weekly planner

The first thing you need to know about weekly planners is that you can find them everywhere online. This is good for us all. This means we can print them out and get started making business and moving towards our goals. Never searched for calendars before? Simple. All you need to do is search for 'weekly calendars' or 'weekly planners' in your favorite browser. You'll instantly have more than enough calendar options, and a bunch of these are going to suit your style.

WEEKLY

But that's not all. There's an overlooked and important element that goes hand in hand with your weekly planner. (You might have to manually add this in). Basically I think the weekly planner is rather naked without a 'to do' list to accompany it. The 'to do' list consists of your highest priority to lowest priority projects that you need to do THIS week. This means that you can plan out your whole week using the days of the week and your priority 'to do' projects list. In other words, you can be looking at both at the same time. This way your planning is doubly sure.

Another thing you will want to do is print out more than enough of these weekly calendars or planners. You then write in the days to suit you. For example if next week starts on the 20th, then from the 20th to the 26th is your week. You personalize the calendar/planner to fit your week, and your needs. Maybe even make a few copies of your blueprint, I mean, calendar. That way you can keep one with you at all times, and another one lives on your desk or next to your computer. Or wherever you do business.

I know... all this takes work. And effort. And you have to introduce new habits that might feel uncomfortable at first. But believe me, once you get into the positive habit of writing your priority list out and planning your week out, you'll never look back. Your weekly planner will become your most treasured companion I'm sure of it. Try it and see.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Killstreaks

The killstreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops multi player mode is what make the multi player mode so special. And just like Treyarch did with Call of Duty: World at War, they added some nice killstreak rewards in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

One of the biggest changes compared to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, is the removal of the 25 kill killstreak reward, the Tactical Nuke. We are sad to see it go, but in return we get something less destructive, but very effective. The Attack Dogs from Call of Duty: World at War.

Compared to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, there are 8 killstreak rewards removed and 8 killstreak rewards added. The rest had their name changed or still have the same name.

We've seen the Black Ops killstreak in-game menu, and there is definitely no room for an extra slot after the 11 kill gunship, so after the gunship, that is all you'll be getting.

Here is an overview of the rewards in Call of Duty: Black Ops. The first number is the amount of kills needed. The second name is the name of the killstreak reward.

1. 3 - Spy Plane

2. 3 - RC-XD (RC bomb)

3. 4 - Counter Spy Plane

4. 4 - SAM Turret

5. 5 - Care Package

6. 5 - Napalm Strike

7. 6 - Sentry Gun

8. 6 - Mortar Team

9. 7 - Attack Helicopter

10. 7 - Valkyrie Rockets

11. 8 - Blackbird

12. 8 - Rolling Thunder

13. 9 - Chopper Gunner

14. 11 - Attack Dogs

15. 11 - Gunship

We are glad to see that Treyarch is listening to the community and is making changes to please the community.

Chopper Orange County - How it Started

Orange County was one of the first counties established by the Province of New York way back in 1683. It is best known for West Point, an American Military Academy, and the Orange County Choppers. It is the most popular custom motorcycle shop in the nation and has it's own program on Television called American Chopper.

chopper style bicycle

Orange County Choppers also known as the OCC is a custom motorcycle shop and manufacture that was founded in 1999 by Paul Teutul Sr. and his son, Paul Teutul Jr. The Orange County Choppers has allowed their business to turn into a reality TV show that is one the discovery channel. The show is called the American Chopper and made it's big debut in September 2002. The show helped rise shop to fame and now has become one of the biggest bike shops known in the United States.

CHOPPER

Orange County Choppers are mistakenly believed as a California based company than a New York based company. Orange County California has been famous from it's own TV publicity with various movies and shows being based on the area. However, many forget of Orange County, NY.
Orange County Choppers has also started a side job as to having a family steel manufacturing company. This would make sense, since OCC is all about custom built bikes. However, the Orange County Ironworks was founded in 1970, way before Teutul began to build the bikes. It wasn't until the late 1990's that they moved from the steel business to the motorcycle business. The first bike ever made by the company was called True blue. It made its first appearance at the Daytona Bike Oktoberfest in 1999.

Since then, the company's popularity has grown. The company was even asked by the United States Air Force to make a 0,000 bike called the Raptor. The Raptor bike made its public debut in March of 2005. Raptor is around ten feet long and is modeled after the F/A-22 Raptor and was completed with the United States Air Force Symbols and a riveted gas tank.

The bike also has its exhaust system and rear view mirrors in the shape of jets. The reason why the United States Air Force hired the Orange County Choppers to make a bike was in hopes to reach the public. It was a promotional tool for the Air Force, but it was also great for the OCC because they got Nation Wide Publicity and has become a name around the world.

Orange County Choppers now has it's name on everything from t-shirts to key rings to the United States Air force. Even though this company has only been around for a little under decade, Orange County Choppers are still increasing their business and sales and have developed a gold-mine business. The Orange County Choppers are so famous, that even after the business dissolves, people will still be talking about the OCC.

Weekly Fantasy Football - Week 1 Quarterback Picks

Week 1 features some interesting matchups for the top fantasy quarterbacks. Two of the top 5 QB's will be going head to head in the Thursday night kickoff game featuring the Saints and the Packers. Although I anticipate a great game, I doubt either Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees will have a huge statistical night since each team has a solid defense. At least, there are better values this week.

weekly academic planner

For Week 1:

WEEKLY

1. Michael Vick

The only knock against Vick as a fantasy quarterback is that he is prone to injury. However, if you are playing in a one week league, this is not an issue. Vick should be as healthy this week as he will be all year. Also, Andy Reid and the Eagles will pile on the score to show off their new "Dream Team." The Rams are young and getting better, but their defense will not be able to contain Vick.

2. Tom Brady

Miami looks to be a bad team that is getting worse, and Belichick and Brady would love to exploit them on Monday Night Football. Chad Ochocinco may not still have the same burst he once did, but the tight ends Gronkowski and Hernandez will be incorporated more into the Patriots offense this year. Brady will spread the ball around and could easily end up with four or five touchdowns.

3. Aaron Rodgers

Although I do not love the matchup against the Saints on Thursday, he was still the top fantasy quarterback last year and will get his numbers. Rodgers has a great group of receivers led by Greg Jennings, and adding Jermichael Finley who missed almost all of last year will be a great new option. Also the inexperience of Ryan Grant should lead to Green Bay throwing a lot of passes.

4. Phillip Rivers

The Chargers have started slowly the last several years, but it was not for a lack of production from Phillip Rivers. Minnesota has a solid defense, but they will struggle while they integrate Donovan McNabb into the offense. Rivers and Vincent Jackson looked very sharp in the preseason and it looks like the Chargers pass happy offense will really explode this season.

5. Matt Schaub

The Texans catch a huge break going by getting to play the Colts without Peyton Manning for the first time since 1997. How does this affect Schaub? If Kerry Collins is unable to sustain drives, the Texans could possess the ball for the majority of the game Sunday. I expect Arian Foster to establish a solid running game, which will open up the play action bombs downfield to Andre Johnson and over the middle to Owen Daniels.

Sleeper: Kyle Orton

Orton is a solid QB who has the ability to put up really big numbers. He started 2010 with five straight games over 295 yards. He gets less credit because he is constantly thrown into Jay Cutler or Tim Tebow drama. But he is a great value playing against the hapless Raiders, whose pass defense should be much worse with the loss of Nnamdi Asomugha.

Weight

It is better to use lightweight wheels because it will give you better acceleration, better engine braking and easier turning. Since it s lighter, riders prevent any loss of balance and control in difficult grounds. Weight is important because braking greatly depends with the accurate weight your chopper needs. This will prevent any mishap in the future.

Style

Some manufacturers are launching unique styles of wheel that you don't usually see in some other stores. They offer chrome spoke wheels, regal chrome wheels, slash chrome wheels, wicked chrome wheels and several other kinds of wheels.

Materials

It is important to note however that polished models resist better in climates with hot salty air where the color can wear off. Otherwise, make use of chrome. Chrome is also very popular because of its easy-to-clean, glossy and lightweight features. But, make sure you buy something that not only looks sturdy but it is sturdy for real. A disadvantage in making use of chromes is its susceptibility to corrosion. An alternative would be cast aluminum or steel custom motorcycle wheels.

My Dog - My Hero

It's a pretty weighty time, what with crushing economic crises and the weird weather situation. I understand about global terrorism, believe me and there's one horror after the other happening daily on this planet, not to mention the hate and fear mongering that goes with another day in politics. So maybe it's not a good time to talk about dogs but the immense popularity of books like Marley and Me and the recent Merle's Door lead me to believe that people do, in fact, want to take a closer look at a species that spends a lot of time smelling things.

chopper kits

Not to diminish Buddha but my dog Chopper appears to be his incarnation. There is nothing in this creature's head and he's always happy. Chopper is a black lab, a breed notorious for its distinct deficit of brains, but what he seemingly lacks in smarts he overcompensates for in loyalty and an innate sense of pure joy. Here is a dog who loves being a dog. This is a being delighted to be in his own skin and, as I mentioned, without much intellectual baggage. I watch him in awe; he's my role model. I want to be like Chopper, empty headed and filled with a happy spirit.

CHOPPER

His name is cool but he's decidedly not and the nomenclature comes not from a Harley or a helicopter. His birth mom tells me he was hilariously fat as a pup - thus Pork Chop evolved into Chopper. A hundred pounds of big dumb love with a cool name and no ego attachment about it. Now Chopper's not perfect, of course. He suffers the usual panoply of disgusting canine behavior involving the whole "meet and greet" ritual as well as this compunction to bite on his own rump and eat disgusting refuse. Even these behaviors have been instructive to me, though, particularly when I was in the midst of raising three teenage boys. Teenagers fight, rage, and lie. It's no prettier than a dog biting his own ass but it's what they do.

A comedian once observed that dogs have no pockets, thus no money worries. Chopper arises each morning with the complete belief that everything will be alright. Of course he's not a homeless starving cur; he feels secure in our patterns that include exercise and food but I have a feeling that even if Chopper had the bad fortune of being that starving cur he'd be optimistic about it, enjoying the adventure of dumpster diving.

In my endless personal quest for inner peace I've learned to sit zazen - the Zen Buddhist meditation form. I do this daily and have even attempted sesshin, a days-long silent retreat involving hours of sitting in meditation. Now before I get all puffy with hubris around this achievement to which I obviously have no attachment I remind myself that Chopper lives zazen. He has no problem being still, sitting around. While it's taken me years to train my endlessly chattering monkey mind it appears Chopper was born with a mind quietude that quite possibly makes him the most evolved being I know.

Why do we even bother having pets if we're not going to observe them? The animal kingdom puts up with a lot more stress than we ever do - the woes of Joe the Plumber and Six Pack (I think they're the same guy) notwithstanding. I wish we taught more about animal behavior in our schools and far less about the capital of North Dakota because Bismarck is and gets you nowhere while animal behavior can save your life, free your mind and reenergize your spirit.

Wish I had watched my pets closer during my whirlwind 30s and 40s when I was rushing to court appearances and soccer games. The dog de jour of that hapless era was Daisy, a yellow lab, equally blissful and brainless. Looking back I remember Daisy finding the patch of sunlight in any room, and stretching out in it. I remember how the sound of car keys made her jump for joy because it meant some kind of smell-fest. Sometimes she'd chase a tennis ball, sometimes not so much. I'm the human, sweating with anxiety and losing sleep and daylight to tension. I ask you, who's smarter?

I'm a little older and wiser now, "pre-tired" as they say, working my way into the last thirty years of life. My nest is empty and my wallet a little fuller - the two concepts are related my friends - and I do have some time to stop and smell the, well not what Chopper smells but the good stuff that's all around when I just quit my craziness and stop, inhale, exhale. Animals know about breathing, smelling, feeling and sometimes in the frenzy of financial panic and Second Amendment fury we are so remiss. We forget what is important and that is what's right in front of us, right this moment.

Of course Chopper will never present a ten-point plan to fight poverty and the only renewable energy source he offers is none too pleasant. "Foreign policy" to my dog has to do with how he finagles his way into the neighbor's yard not to terrorize but just to explore, because it's there. He's stretched out on the grass before me as I write this, my hero, my role model, and he's breathing in and out. Think I'll join him.

Tribal Tattoos

Tribal tattoos are fast becoming popular among tattoo enthusiasts. These tattoos have gained increasing exposure not just in America, but also in Asia where tattoos have been long associated with secret societies.

chopper kits

The reason why tribal tattoos are gaining popularity is because of the meanings behind them. Tattoos were used to indicate a person as a member of a group or to represent religious or spiritual beliefs. In certain ancient societies, tattoos were used as ranks to indicate seniority and power. Tribal tattoos were also used as a form of tribal identification. If you put on the wrong tattoo, it will risk your chances of being one of the tribe and they might just permanently mark you as an outsider. In some Asian tribal societies, tattoos were deliberately used to mark you as a rebel and enemy. So be careful when you have a tattoo and are walking in the jungle, you might just have an arrow pieced through you by mistake.

CHOPPER

Today in the modern society, besides tattooing for aesthetic reasons, these tribal tattoos on the body can also be used to subtly command a certain amount of envy and respect among those looking. The LV sign of Vuitton bags is a symbol and they exemplify affluence and wealth. Tribal tattoos have the same effects when done tastefully. They symbolize power, energy, force, ability and skill. This can help to instill and reinforce our positive feelings, just like what famous brands of luxury goods do to people. By drawing a few simple dark thick lines and curves, tribal tattoos drawn in a shape of dragon or rose, it can bring as much pride to the inked body, only much cheaper than the LV bags.

So what kind of tribal tattoos is popular? Tribal sun is good, Celtic knots are extremely popular, flowers are favored by women, armbands are worn by those with muscular biceps. In fact most tribal tattoos can be worn anywhere; the upper back, the lower back, the ankle, the navel, shoulder and chest. I have seen one on top of the head! You can have anything drawn to your imagination; just make sure they fit the right places. You don't want to put a short barbed wire on your chest because most would look better around the arms. Neither do you want to put a flame around your nipple. So use some judgment and exercise some creativity. Maybe you can observe what others have done and have the tattoo artist's advise you a little before you commit yourself.

Weekly Fantasy Football - Week 2 Running Back Picks

1. Ray Rice

weekly pill box

By piling up 149 total yards and 2 touchdowns against one of the best defenses in the NFL and the defending AFC champions in week 1, Ray Rice made a statement that he is on the short list of top running backs in the league. However, the Ravens looked to have a little more motivation last week after being knocked out of the playoffs by their rivals. I am not sure Rice can duplicate that performance, but he should put up similar numbers against a weaker Tennessee defense.

WEEKLY

2. Lesean McCoy

Michael Vick will lead his new "Dream Team" into Atlanta against his old team in what should be a shootout on Sunday Night Football. The Eagles feel pressure to show off after all their offseason moves, and Atlanta will be fighting for their lives not to go down 0-2. McCoy had 122 yards and a TD rushing last week, and could put up bigger numbers as both these teams will light up the scoreboard.

3. Darren McFadden

McFadden looked great with 150 yards mostly up the middle in Denver in week 1. The Raiders likely will return to old form and fall apart as the season moves on, but right now they looked like a contender in the AFC West. Lost in the Bills beat down of the Chiefs was that Jamaal Charles had a solid game against a soft run defense. McFadden will be able to exploit this defense as well for a big day.

4. Matt Forte

The Bears will need to put up a lot of points to keep up with the Saints this week. Forte should be able to run through New Orleans' weak rush defense, and even if Chicago falls behind, he is a great weapon out or the backfield in the passing game.

5. Ahmad Bradshaw

Bradshaw had limited carries in week 1 at Washington. After falling behind early, the Giants threw the ball most of the game. They should settle into a more balanced attack against the Rams, who had a slew of injuries in week 1. If the Giants can get ahead early, Bradshaw should receive a solid workload to shorten the game and beat down the already thin Rams defense.

Sleeper: Willis McGahee

The Broncos are a bad team, but the Bengals are even worse. With Knowshon Moreno, slightly injuring his hamstring in week 1, McGahee may become the starting tailback against a terrible defense. Even if Moreno returns, McGahee will be a weapon in the passing game and will potentially be used on goal line situations, which means fantasy points.

Weekly Fantasy Football - Week 2 Quarterback Picks

1. Michael Vick

weekly pill organizer

Sunday Night Football will be a track meet as Vick returns to Atlanta with the Eagles. Philadelphia is still trying to prove they are a "Dream Team," and Vick will want to show off in his return to Atlanta. The Falcons on the other hand will be fighting to not go down 0-2, after being the number one seed last year. Both teams will put up a lot points, which will be good for fantasy teams.

WEEKLY

2. Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers was incredible in the Thursday night opener, and he should be able to put up similar numbers against a bad Carolina defense. Also, while Ryan Grant is working his way back into the offense, the Packers will continue to pass much more than run.

3. Tom Brady

Brady set all kinds of records putting up 511 yards against Miami on Monday night. He will come back to Earth against a solid San Diego defense, but he is still the best QB in the league. He will put up strong numbers, especially as the Patriots struggle to find a consistent running back.

4. Matt Schaub

Kerry Collins got a lot of the blame for the Texans drumming of the Colts, but Indianapolis was unable to stop the Texans in the first half. Schaub did not have a huge fantasy day, but his touchdowns should increase this week. The Dolphins pass defense was atrocious against the Patriots, and Schaub will exploit Miami's defense for a big day in week 2.

5. Tony Romo

Despite falling apart the final 3 possessions in New York, Romo had a really good fantasy week. The Jets have an elite defense, which Romo, Dez Bryant, and Jason Witten were able to move the ball against for three quarters. San Francisco struggled to stop one of the worst offenses in the league lead by Tarvaris Jackson. Romo will have a big day in a bounce back game for the Cowboys.

Sleeper: Matt Stafford

The Lions beat down Tampa Bay, which has a pretty good defense. Stafford to Calvin Johnson is a great matchup that will put up huge numbers if they can both stay healthy this year. This week the Lions return home against a Kansas City defense that gave up 41 points to the Bills last week. Stafford and Johnson are a greater scoring threat than anyone on the Bills, and although KC should play better, Detroit has the ability to hang 30 or 40 points on them.

How to Build Your First Custom Motorcycle

You have decided that you want to own a custom motorcycle, but you're not quite sure how or where to begin. There are a few things to think about before you start on your journey for that original, unique, or unusual motorcycle.

chopper kits

First, do you want to fully build a custom motorcycle from the frame up, do you want to modify an existing bike, or order one already built to your specifications? What size bike are you thinking about? Large, small or in the middle? Do you want agility & speed, or do you just want to look good while you cruise the highway?  You will need to decide how much money you can afford to spend in the long run & whether your ownership plan will most likely take you weeks, months or even years to complete.

CHOPPER

Second, can you spare the time to do the customization/modification on your bike yourself, or do you have the resources to have the work done for you. If you are going to do your own work, (as do most of us) you'll need to consider what tools you will need, where your work space will be located, how much help from like-minded friends you're likely to get, and your level and variety of skills.  Last but not least, do you have the motivation and dedication to continue once you have started creating your own custom bike?

Third, how much work needs to be done on a bike to make it a custom motorcycle anyway?  This is a controversial argument.  Some say it is not a custom motorcycle, unless you change out basically everything on the bike and others say changing just a couple of things makes it custom. This is the logical answer; make it uniquely yours in any way you choose!  Build it, modify it, lighten it, strengthen it, downsize it, expand it, make it more agile, paint it, build it up, or strip it down, just make it yours!  If you have had it modified and it is no longer "stock", or you've modified it yourself, congratulations! You now own a custom motorcycle!

Fourth, get out there and ride!!

Weekly Fantasy Football - Week 1 Defense Picks

The key to picking a weekly fantasy defense comes down to both teams offense. You want a good offense playing against a weak team, preferably with a young QB. The Browns, Bengals, and Panthers are great matchups each week.

weekly appointment book

Scoring defensive fantasy points is semi random, but you can increase your chance of a defensive TD if your team gets the lead, and forces the opponent to play from behind. Your odds get even better if you are matching up against a mistake prone quarterback. If David Carr is ever scheduled to play, grab that defensive matchup in the first round.

WEEKLY

For Week 1:

1. NY Giants

The giants have a solid defense with an elite defensive line, going against Rex Grossman and several position players worse than he is. I am not sure anyone predicted Grossman and Tim Hightower would be a starting backfield for the first week of 2011. As long as the G Men keep Santana Moss in front of them, this could be an eight sack shutout. Grossman is also good for at least a couple interceptions.

2. Texans

Throw this pick away if Peyton Manning shows up, but as of Tuesday, he is not expected to play. The Texans are perpetually overrated and have a pretty bad secondary, but I will take them against an offense of Kerry Collins and Pierre Garcon. If Matt Schaub and Arian Foster can get an early lead, Kerry Collins may be forced to air it out, which is great for the Texans Defense.

3. Cardinals

Not a great week to week pick. But you only get to play against a rookie quarterback making his first ever start once. The Cardinals should be able to do enough to confuse a young but promising Cam Newton. Also, if Kevin Kolb and Larry Fitzgerald put up a few TD's against a bad Carolina defense, the rookie QB could be forced into comeback mode.

4. Patriots

Weird things tend to happen on Monday Night Football, but I like my chances with a solid Patriots defense against Chad Henne and the Dolphins. The Dolphins are creative with their wildcat and other packages, but they will have to take a lot of chances to have a hope of keeping up with Tom Brady. That often leads to turnovers.

5. Steelers

I don't love the matchup with the Ravens, but they are a great D, and Polamalu is worth about five fantasy points by himself.

Sleeper: Browns

I don't like the team, but I love the matchup. The Bengals will be the worst offense in the league this year. They are starting a rookie 2nd rounder at quarterback in Andy Dalton, and quick... Name the Bengals top 3 receivers? Jerome Simpson, A.J. Green, Ryan Whalen. The Bengals will really be a great pick when they get to play the Steelers and Ravens.

Meal Planning Made Easy: Ideas And Tips To Help You Develop A Weekly Family Meals Plan

Becoming that little bit organised by executing a weekly Family Meals plan will potentially save you money, time and effort. A meal plan can offer your family a different variety of meals for the week and it will allow you to decide what you need at the shops before you go. This will mean that you can avoid those unnecessary and sometimes unhealthy impulse buys once you're there.

weekly planner

Grocery shopping turns into a piece of cake as you confidently stride down those aisles locating and ticking all the items on your shopping list. The short period of time it takes you to plan out your family meal times is really well worth it because it takes the standard "what am I going to cook tonight?" pressure off since you will have a pre-planned weekly menu at the ready as well as the ingredients you need to be able to cook everything on your plan.

WEEKLY

Ideas to set up a household meals weekly plan:

1. Once a week on a day you prefer, take a moment and write some ideas regarding possible dinner ideas that you could prepare that week

- Try and incorporate several family favorite dinners that you know the family members will love

- Pick out several new dishes to try; Do this by reading through your own personal cookbook collection (if you have one) or perhaps start looking online at cooking websites or even ask your friends and family to show you a few of their own family favorite recipes

- Try and vary the dish varieties through the course of the week i.e. incorporate a pasta recipe, a chicken dish, a red meat dish, a grain recipe etc to ensure a well balanced and wholesome meal plan

- Try and double the recipe for at least one of the recipes to enable you to enjoy one dish across 2 evenings and/or freeze the meal for another day

- Add in one freezer meal throughout the week that you can simply remove from the freezer and set straight inside the oven

- Allow yourself a night or two off from cooking where you can either leave the house for an evening meal out or simply get takeout

2. Use a Meal Planner template to write out your program for the week

Once you have chosen several different meal ideas, look through your family's weekly activity schedules and start allocating the meals for each of the evenings using the template. If you know there are a busy few days then keep the double up recipe and also the freezer dinner for those times. When you have a little more time on other days, those can be great times to experiment with your new recipes

3. Use a Shopping List template to write-up a food checklist of those things you require from the supermarket.

Depending on how often you like to visit the supermarket throughout the week (not that much I bet!), be sure to stock up on the necessary groceries for your planned recipes in advance. Many people like to do a single main shop every week as well as 1 or 2 smaller sized shops in order to stock up on perishables such as milk, bread, fruits and vegetables. Regardless of how you prefer to go shopping, always take a look at your weekly meals plan at least two days beforehand to ensure that you have on hand the ingredients that are required for the upcoming days. In the instance that you need to pick up anything from the grocery store then this provides you with more time to obtain the item compared to it being a rush at the last-minute

4. Keep the plan adaptable.

Understand that unexpected things do come up at the eleventh-hour and sometimes your weekly plan will need to change so be sure to remain flexible with it.

In summary, the minimal investment in time that it's going to take you to complete a weekly meal plan is well worth it. A plan means that you can incorporate a mix of tried and tested meals in conjunction with a number of completely new recipes. This allows you to continue to enhance your cookery repertoire not to mention keep your household content at evening meal times.

Episode Summary of the Hit Dramatic TV Show I Should Not Be Alive

There are many outdoor activities that are very fun for a lot of people and are enjoyed by millions. Most of the time nothing goes wrong in these outdoor activities like kayak fishing, which of course requires kayak fishing accessories. Unfortunately, sometimes things can go wrong and when it does it can turn deadly. On the show I Should Not Be Alive on the Animal Planet network they tell stories of people who have gone through near death experiences at the hands of the wilderness. These people have gone through all kinds of crazy things from bear attacks to a boat sinking, leaving all survivors stranded out in the middle of the ocean.

chopper style bicycle

One episode of the tragic show featured a couple of young, athletic and highly competitive friends who went on a kayaking trip together. As mentioned previously, these two were very competitive with each other and each was constantly trying to show the other one who was the alpha male of the group. So, the two set out to kayak off the coast of Washington, near the Pacific Ocean, and planned a fairly simple trip to a remote island off the coast. Well, the trip was meant to be simple that is until one of the two friends showed up late by four hours and they had to go in the dark. Also, as it turns out Larry, the friend who was late had never actually kayaked before and had only pretended to be an expert to not look like a wimp.

CHOPPER

After narrowly escaping the tides and being swept out into the ocean, the two friends made it to their intended destination, with the actual expert on kayaking not pleased to say the least. The friends now had three options and two of them were a simple, but somewhat damaging to the ego, ways out in which they would ask local people in cabins for help in getting back to the mainland. However, always trying to avoid being out done by his kayaking superior, Larry decided to try the difficult way and make it back himself following behind his friend on the way back to the mainland. Needless to say, the one who actually was a good kayaker made it back fairly simply. Larry, however, was not so lucky in his attempts to get back to shore.

Instead of making it back safely, Larry was pushed out to the sea by the currents of the ocean and had to simply drift around in the ocean for a matter of twelve hours or so. Because he was wearing clothing that was improper for kayaking, Larry then for some reason decided to abandon his kayak and try to swim to an island. While he did eventually make it to an island after about another twelve hours, Larry's kayak of course made it back before him.

However, there was still to be one more hurdle in Larry's struggle for safety. Upon reaching, by swimming, an uninhabited island Larry saw a helicopter. Rather than staying where he was and trying to beckon the chopper to him, Larry decided to run towards it in hopes that it would see him. Of course, the chopper did not catch sight of him and left. Finally though, after about another twelve hour segment Larry was saved and taken back to his friends and family.

Benefits of Getting a Weekly Massage

There are many benefits to getting a massage on a regular basis. Besides just enjoying the pleasure, a wide variety of health and personal benefits exist that further support the notion of weekly massages.

Massage services can be somewhat expensive, but certain places will offer you discounts if you come often enough. Either that, or you can sign up for a plan that saves you money, which would be a lot more affordable than buying massages each time you come in. Depending on what business you go to, and if it is independently owned, you may be able to form a relationship with the owners and further drive down the price.

WEEKLY

The primary benefit of weekly massages is the relief that is given to different parts of the body. Over the course of the week, tension builds in many places, and it can inhibit our daily activities. A massage relieves this physical stress and enables you to operate at an optimal level. This is invaluable in this fast-paced world, and you will find that the investment in massage services quickly pays off in the way you feel and the increased productivity you have.

Being productive is meaningless if we are not healthy, and there are tons of health problems out there that can bring us down at any moment. Massages stimulate portions of the body that are responsible for fighting off conditions, and having your body regularly recharged in this way is overall beneficial to your health. Most importantly, the positive feelings generated from massages reduces stress to an almost nonexistent level, and since stress is a major contributor to heart disease and cancer, this is certainly an important factor.

Getting a massage improves your focus, both after and during the massage. It enables you to think more clearly without having to worry about troubles that perpetually cross our minds. Experiencing clouded thinking can be very unpleasant and debilitating, and being free of this is quite liberating. For all these reasons and more, you should definitely consider a weekly massage, or at least one on a less frequent basis.

Weekly Fantasy Football - Week 3 Running Back Picks

1. Ray Rice

weekly dry erase board

Rice had a down game in week 2 against Tennessee, but that was still good for 96 total yards and a touchdown. Rice is becoming the most consistent fantasy back in the NFL, and he should have a big game against an injured Rams team that has struggled to stop anyone through the first two weeks.

WEEKLY

2. Adrian Peterson

The Vikings have gotten off to a slow start, but it is not fault of Peterson who has 218 rushing yards and two touchdowns in his first two games. Peterson is remarkably consistent even as the rest of the offense struggles. With McNabb not providing the passing threat the Vikings were looking for, they will lean more on Peterson to shorten the game against an explosive Lions offense. If they fall behind, he will also play a significant roll in the passing game.

3. Rashard Mendenhall

With Isaac Redman getting more carries in week 2 for the Steelers, fantasy owners are starting to worry about Mendenhall. However, he still had a decent day, including a touchdown, and if he is going to get on track, he should do it against a really bad Colts defense that was beaten down by Peyton Hillis in week 2. Expect Mendenhall to have strong day as he solidifies himself as Pittsburgh's number one running back.

4. Mike Tolbert

Tolbert is another player that underperformed under large expectations in week 2. On a positive note, he had 73 receiving yards. He and the rest of the Chargers offense will put up big fantasy numbers hosting a Chiefs team that gave up 89 points in their first two games. Kansas City's goal line defense is much more porous than New England's, which should provide Tolbert with at least one goal line touchdown.

5. LeSean McCoy

McCoy sustained a hand injury Sunday against the Falcons, but he indicated it will not hold him out against the Giants. He also rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Atlanta. Although the Giants are a division rival and still have an aggressive defensive line, their linebackers are nearly all out with injuries. The injuries to this unit will make it easier for McCoy to find and accelerate through rushing lanes. He will exploit this weakness for a big day.

Sleeper: Daniel Thomas

This rookie did not play in week 1, but he had a strong debut, rushing for 107 yards against the Texans. He will split time with Reggie Bush, but if Bush can't handle being a full time back, a struggle he had in New Orleans, Thomas will continue to gain more playing time.

Weekly Fantasy Football - Week 3 Quarterback Picks

Passing yards are at on all time high, especially through only 2 weeks, making fantasy quarterbacks more important than they've ever been. Whether its Tom Brady going over 500 yards on Monday Night Football, or Cam Newton putting up over 400 yards in his first two games in the NFL, quarterbacks have never put up more fantasy points. Make sure you get a top quarterback if you want to compete in week 3.

Week 3

WEEKLY

1. Tom Brady

Brady is on pace to set every passing record in the NFL after his first two weeks. It is unlikely he will keep up this pace, but the Bills gave up 35 points to the Raiders, and will have no success slowing down the Pats. Brady is the early favorite for MVP, and definitely the best fantasy QB in the league.

2. Phillip Rivers

Rivers has not been great out of the gate, but he has been solid, and should pick up the pace against KC who has given up 89 points in their first two games. Rivers and the Chargers will thrash the Chiefs, in a solid bounce back game after returning home from New England.

3. Ben Roethlisberger

Big Ben had an awful first week against an inspired Baltimore defense, but he got on track against a bad Seahawks defense, which will carry over against the Colts on Sunday Night. The Colts defense made Colt McCoy look unstoppable after he couldn't move the ball against the Bengals in week 1. Roethlisberger to Wallace will put up even bigger numbers than the Browns in a route.

4. Drew Brees

The Texans defense looks the best it has ever looked, but the Saints just put up 30 on a strong Bears defense at home in week 2. Drew Brees is unstoppable in the Superdome. It will be up to Matt Schaub and the Texans offense to make this a game because Brees will light up the scoreboard.

5. Aaron Rodgers

The Packers have a tough matchup this week at Chicago. The Bears are tough and will play inspired against their division rival. However, that is the only reason Rodgers is down to five on this list because he continues to put up big numbers every week no matter the opponent.

Sleeper: Ryan Fitzpatrick

The Bills offense has been great through two weeks against a terrible and mediocre team. New England will be a much tougher test, but the Patriots offense is not the strength of their team. Fitzpatrick should put up big numbers as the Bills try to keep up with Tom Brady and the Pats in a shootout.

Things To Be Considered When Buying Mountain Bike

Choosing the right mountain bike really matters a lot, when it comes to enjoying the outdoors. In fact it would mean the world of difference. However, much goes with selecting apt model, from your fitness level to how much you wish to spend. A good mountain choppers bike can meet all the essential requirements of a quality product, but it as well needs to fit your lifestyle and preferences as perfectly as possible.

chopper kits

The very first thing to be considered when buying choppers bike is your budget. You might probably get an off-the-rack. In other case, if you are hunting for a high-end mountain bike for particular roads or tricks, you require to think in the thousands. Further when planning to take your mountain bike on a regular basis out of town trips, it is worth paying a little more on it. A cheap bike might not really be as durable and might lack essentials such as good suspension that would make it use much more tricky and uncomfortable. A good rule of thumb is to purchase the best mountain bike, which you can afford.

CHOPPER

Another important to be noticed when buying mountain bike is the frame. Most of the frames are shaped up of either aluminum or steel, with aluminum being the inexpensive choice. The traditional diamond frames are excellent for the beginners, but they do not permit full suspension. Choppers bikes with full rear suspension would have a modified frame, normally missing the vertical tube that comes from under the seat. Rear suspension creates a mountain bike more comfy and prepared for rockier terrain, of course, it as well make the bike expensive.

Finally, ensure that you purchase a mountain bike that fits you. As a rule, mountain bikes ought to be smaller than a usual road bike. If you know which size of road bike is fine for you, just choose a mountain bike that's two inches smaller. Low-handlebars permit for maximum speed, but they could be painful if you are short or have back problems. If you are not sure what mountain bike is apt for you, try a few out. Seat up, extend your arms, and test how comfy the seat is. Comparing a few unlike brands and models would make it easier to select the one that fits you best.

Save Money By Paying Mortgage Weekly?

If paying your mortgage biweekly (every two weeks) cuts about seven years off your pay back schedule, then paying weekly should cut off 14 years, right? If you find a place where that works, let me know and I'll sign up with you!

weekly monthly planner

Though there are international variations in the way mortgages are calculated, most United States home loans have some common characteristics. Two notable ones are that interest is computed monthly (usually at 1/12th of the annual rate) and that the interest is charged "in arrears," that is, after it was used. Though these can vary among lenders, most follow this format.

WEEKLY

Therefore, your mortgage interest is the same for the month of March with 31 days as it is for February when there are only 28 days. In addition, any payment you make this month will not reduce the interest you owe next month, because of that "arrears" thing. It has already been established you will pay your interest rate times .o8 (1/12th of the rate) times your remaining loan balance.

One more basic to keep in mind: most U.S. lenders want to process your mortgage payment only once a month. Biweekly mortgage plans are usually implemented by companies external to your lender, and provided as a service to you (you pay a fee for the service) and to the bank (there are fewer mortgage defaults since the payment is automatically deducted from your bank account). It's a win-win-win. Properly implemented, you could pay back a 30-year fixed-rate loan in about 23 years, depending on loan specifics, of course. (For 0,000 at 6%, the technique eliminates nearly ,000 of mortgage interest.)

I learned about this "hold for full payment" policy the hard way on a remote rental property on which the property taxes were increased. I paid my usual payment to the mortgage company. Next thing I knew, I got a 30-day late notice. A phone call to the mortgage servicing company revealed they weren't equipped to notify borrowers of property tax increases uploaded to their computers by tax assessment offices. Their method was to wait for the next month's payment, slice the off needed to supplement the last payment, and carry me forward a month behind from then on. They-and other mortgage companies-are quite rigid about the "no partial payments" thing.

This is why for a biweekly payment plan to work, either an outside party collects your two week's worth of mortgage principal and interest and holds it for you until they collect the next two weeks' worth, then combines the two half-payments and delivers them to your bank; or your bank has a system in place, totally at their discretion, for applying your payments. Payments are usually still held and applied monthly, but a rare bank might actually apply the two-week portion when it is received.

The reason the biweekly payment plan works so effectively is that there are 26 two-week periods in a year. Fifty-two divided by two equals twenty-six. I hope by seeing how a biweekly plan actually works-which is a bit different from how most of us are used to thinking they work-the problems with a weekly payment plan become clear.

Lenders are not set up to accept payments four times a month, or 4.2 times a month (the average number of weeks in a month). You could operate your own weekly payment plan, with your year's payments due divided by 52. You would then set the money aside, not to spend it, until you have collected two (if you are also working with a biweekly service company) or four, if you are doing this completely on your own.

Either way, you are squeezing in an extra month's payment every year. And the best part about it is-if done correctly-that the 13th lump sum goes to principal only!

Kids American Chopper Party Ideas For Motorcycle Lovers Who Hog The Road

The popular and tough guy TV show, American Chopper is one of the reality TV shows to gain a huge fan following amongst motorbike enthusiasts. If you or one of your loved ones is into motorbikes, why not plan an American Chopper party for your next special occasion?

Decorate the garage with motorcycling memorabilia and posters. On your invitations, ask everyone who has a motorbike to turn up in their riding gear. These two elements will make for great photo opportunities.

CHOPPER

There are bikers of every age group - males and females from teenagers to seventy year olds, people for whom being on a bike on the open road is the closest thing to being in heaven. As such you'll have to provide food and beverages that will be popular with everyone. Make sure there is plenty of beer (unless you're underage), as well as things such buffalo wings, steak or pizza. Have the party in the garage, so everyone who has brought their bike can park it in the drive.

As an alternative, don't supply alcohol. Instead, the bikers can gather, enjoy the food and atmosphere of the party and take off together for a ride afterwards. This a great way to top off an enjoyable afternoon.

Planning an American Chopper party can almost be as enjoyable as the party itself. And as well as being a novel way to celebrate a special occasion, your American Chopper party can be a way for your motorcycle-mad guests (who mightn't already know each other) to make new friends who share their passion.

Ten Reasons You Should Own a Custom Chopper

Custom choppers are the Mercedes of motorcycles, and they are as much fun to own as any super-luxury vehicle. I'm certain that when you see a custom chopper, you wish you had one for youself. Here's ten reasons to buy a custom chopper...

chopper motorcycle

1. FUN! Yes, this is the first and foremost reason. You will have more fun with a custom chopper than just about any other investment you make. Cars are fun, sure, but they simply don't provide the "in the wind" feeling that can only be obtained with a motorcycle and a custom chopper will make people stop and notice - and that's always fun.

CHOPPER

2. Resale value. Just like a car, motorcycles depreciate with time. At least stock motorcycles do. But custom rides and antiques don't - in fact they can appreciate if you continue adding value to your ride. 3. Breaking out of the status quo. Just anyone can own a stock motorcycle. Harley dealers have great stock bikes that anyone who has the money can buy. Newspapers abound with ads for stock motorcycles that are being sold by an owner - often because they want to upgrade and get their first custom chopper. That's the status quo in motorcycles. If you want to break away and stand out in the crowd, a custom chopper will do that for you!

4. Custom choppers are accepted by all motorcycle riders. Have you ever noticed that the Harley riders will accept custom choppers that aren't Harley builds much more easily than they will any other type of motorcycle? It's true, if your bike is a custom chop, even if the drive train is not Harley, the Harley rides will not shun you or make nasty.

5. Your custom chopper can reflect your personality. If you purchase a stock bike, there will be hundreds of thousands of people who have exactly the same scoot as yours. With a custom chopper, you can provide input and customization that reflects who you are.

6. Riding comfort is another reason to customize. By choosing the frame, engine, risers, handle bars, saddle and parts that create your custom chopper, you can create the chop that is most comfortable for YOU, the rider.

7. Pizzazz. You can add as much shiny, eye-blinding chrome as you choose; or you can have as little as you choose. If you want lots of fringe, accessories the custom chop to include fringe all over. If you want a very stark, minimalistic ride, you can have that too! How much pizzazz you add is your choice and only your choice!

8. Head turn factor. You can guarantee, no matter what custom chopper design you settle on, you will turn heads. You can add all the "head turn" factor to you chopper you desire. If you want, you can create something that is drop-dead unique and turn every head you encounter. But if you aren't a glutton for attention, you may choose a more simplistic design.

9. Make it solo. If you get sick and tired of the "can I ride with you?" questions and simply don't want anyone to ride behind you, choose a solo saddle design that provides you an excuse, "my bike only rides one - ME!"

10. Ego. Yes, we all have ego, don't we? That's what makes us what to be different to begin with. And a great ego stroke is riding out of your truly unique, one-of-a-kind custom chopper. Just don't let it go to your head! After all, you still want your friends to love you and ride with you!

MMA Workout Routine Weekly Planner

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is at the pinnacle of variety for combative athletes. Incorporating Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), submission grappling, wrestling, muay thai and boxing, you might be scratching your head on how to organize your training and conditioning into a weekly MMA workout routine.

weekly planner 2011

First off, you should realize that your routine will almost never be the same week in, week out. At times, you'll be peaking before competition, at others you'll be concentrating on your technical skills. Other times you'll be recovering from injury or overtraining. In still others, you'll be trying to gain strength, lose fat or increase your work capacity.

WEEKLY

No matter what is going on, your weekly MMA workout schedule will be ever-changing. However, it doesn't have to be chaotic: I'll discuss the basics which will help you organize your workouts on a week to week basis.

First and foremost, there is no "magic MMA workout routine." There are numerous ways to put together your training, and often times your workout schedule is built around your other training goals.

One adjustment you can make is to plan your hardest and most intense workouts towards the end of the week when you might be taking a day or two to rest.

The reason? Recovery.

Think of it this way: If you do your most intense workouts at the very beginning of the week, you'll likely be sore and exhausted for the rest of the week. You might grit through the rest of the week, but more than likely, you'll be tearing your body down, making you more susceptible to injury or catching a cold from weakening your natural defenses.

Probably the best way to figure it out is by finding what already works for successful professional fighters and essentially copying what you can from them and then tweaking it to fit your own personal MMA training schedule and goals.

Take, for example, Mario Sperry's MMA workout routine:

Monday through Friday - Jiu-Jitsu training during the day. Muay Thai training in the evening.

Conditioning Training 3x per week

Tuesday and Thursday wrestling.

You'll notice that he does some form of circuit training two to three times per week and then other conditioning workouts throughout the week. Hopefully this helps you understand how you might organize your workouts as well.

The Coolest Items in World of Warcraft and How to Get Them - Part 1 - The Motorcycle

This series of articles will cover the rarest and most desired items in the world of Warcraft game.

chopper kits

For each item covered you will find in the article: how to get the item, if there is any added cost to the item and the advantages you will get for using it (if any).

CHOPPER

From WotLK expansion you can get a new mount in the form of a Motorcycle.

The motorcycle has two versions, one for the Alliance and one for the Horde. The Alliance version is called Mekgineer's Chopper, the Horde version is called Mechano Hog. The two versions have differences in the appearance but other than that are identical. The Hog/Chopper mount can be build by Engineers with level 450. But it can be ride by any character as it's not bending in pick up so it can be sold. This also means that you can have the two of them, if you can afford it.

The pattern for the Hog/Chopper is sold by Roxi Ramrocket (Goblin) in K3. And can be acquire only if you have exalted rep whit the right faction. For the Hog you will need to be exalted with Horde Expedition, and for the Chopper you will need to be exalted with Alliance Vanguard. So an engineer can only make one version (his on faction), but you can ride the other faction motorcycle.

The pattern cost 350 gold. The items needed to complete a motorcycle are:

Titansteel bars * 12 Artic fur * 2 Handful of Cobalt Bolts * 40 The prices of the above items vary from server to server but can go be price for an average of 3000 gold. You will also need three other items (Salvaged Iron Golem Parts, Elementium plated Exhaust Pipe and eight Goblin-machined Pistons). Those are vendor items that will cost you 12,500 gold all together. You can only buy them from the same vendor as the recipe and only if you trained yourself (use the recipe). So why you will want this very expensive mount? Way spend 16,000 gold at least and the time to find an engineer, or bid on the AH ? Even if you can do it yourself, you will still need to go to the vendor, and buy or gather the other items needed... First thing, think how cool it is to ride in one of those, you come in to a city and make all the noise of a real motorcycle as you go, you can be sure all eyes are on you. And what will you do with all your gold if not make others envy you. But that is not all, you get some more bonuses:

You can fall unlimited heights without taking damage as the motorcycle takes it for you (it can be time saving). (see P.S.) You can have a passenger with you on the sidecart, so this is a ride for two! Of course no passenger, no sidecart, so you get the pleasure of two different mount view. That does not sound mach but you will get pleasure out of it. And yes it stack up with aspect of the pack. Some disadvantage however:

It takes 1.5 seconds to dismount, so no PVP with it. (see P.S.) As all mount you cannot attack or loot but because of the 1.5 seconds dismount it will take you longer to farm with the motorcycle.
P.S - This is not true from the 3.1 patch.

Originally when launched it had the exact specs I mention, however after patch 3.1: you can no longer take long falls without damage.  You, the driver, takes all the damage.  So no more jumping of the highest mountains as you used to do. Also there is no more dismount cool down. It is immediate, which is good for for farming or pvp.  I personally would rather have the original in my opinion, and use another mount for raids, pvp, etc.
