Super Bowl Squares How To

Super Bowl Squares How To Play

Free Printable Super Bowl Boxes

Most people don’t have the luxury of making the trip to the big game. Those that can’t go will attend a party or hit up the local bars to watch the last NFL game of the season. Not a bad alternative, especially if you are involved in a pool of some kind. We’ve included our favorites games below to make sure your home or company party is a hit for all of the adults present, even if they aren’t normally interested in football. A touch of Vegas always adds a little spice to an event.

In online betting, many players choose to play Squares. You might be familiar with the game, since it is often played as an office pool where contenders put their initials on a 10×10 grid. A Super Bowl squares pool or contest can add even more excitement to the big game. Get a free Super Bowl squares grid for free right here!

10×10 100 Super Bowl Betting Squares Grid Board for Home or Office Parties

Without a doubt, the most popular betting pool for the big game is the 100 square contest. Here’s the easy run down on how to make one if you have never seen it before. You need to concoct a 10×10 chart and number each column and row zero through nine. Then put one team name on top of the grid and the other on the side. Now you have the basic 100-square grid for your football pool.

Unless you have a wealthy group, charging a dollar a block is pretty typical to keep it fun and less serious. That would make the pot $100. The only drawback with this pool is that luck is more involved with winning than your gambling skill. Another big reason why it’s not a bad idea to keep the buy-in low so nobody in the office feels like it’s costing them more than they want to yet they still have a chance at a hundred bucks.

You can either draw squares out of a hat or sell the boxes via auction. I think a random drawing is the way to go to avoid the price of a certain box from getting out of hand. For example the 7-3 box would be better than the 8-6 grid. Why? Because scores most generally end in the former numbers. Using our grid, you could have different numbers for each quarter and the final prize. This way someone doesn’t get stuck with a bad combination for the entire game. I believe this is by far the best way to do it.

Super Bowl Squares How To Play

After the squares are divvied out, you are all set to go. Smaller prizes are usually awarded to the winners of each quarter. Then there’s a grand prize that goes to the person whose square reflects the game’s final score.

For those that don’t know. Here’s how you win. Let’s say the score is 17-3 in favor of the Chiefs at the half. The person with the 7-3 square would win the prize. Having winners after each quarter will keep everyone involved throughout the game. Download or click and print our free 100-square pool for your party this year!

Fun Prop Bets Sheet Printable Templates & Questions

Another thing you can do is put together a wager sheet for you and all of your party guests. Have it include as many prop bets or wagers as you would like. You don’t want to run out of ideas and thinking up all of the questions to ask can be difficult, but that’s why our template above has your covered.

You can set an amount for guests to pay to play and let the winner of the most bets on the sheet take the pot. Use a prediction of the game’s final score or some yardage combination as your tie breaker or split the pot if there is a tie. For your convenience, we’ve put together a free props sheet for the Super Bowl between the Bucs and Chiefs. We’ve made it printable or you may want to download and distribute via email. We will even have the results for you so you can grade your pool shortly after the game is over.

Free Printable Super Bowl Boxes

Both of these games work great for small or large groups. Whether it’s with your friends, family or co-workers. If you have more than 100 people, you can always start another square.

fox sleep by @annawrites [requested by @allforthebee]

see which other fics i’m reviewing this month! / my review request post!

this is an amazing fic that features shapeshifter!neil who arrives at the foxhole coven in the form of a fox. it is such a sweet, playful, and comforting fic with a wonderful tinge of magic, i cannot recommend this fic enough.

shapeshifter fics are always among my favourite, so i cannot explain exactly how excited i was when i first saw this posted. this was 10k words of softness, but at the same time it felt entertaining and i didn’t want it to end. i love the world that you created, it feels like it really does exist.

some of the parts i especially enjoyed:

”it’s like a gong being struck inside andrew’s head, and it hurts right down to his fingertips” there is something so andrew about having the wards tied to to himself in a way that it physically pains him when they’re breached. that he allows himself to endure this pain to protect the ones he cares about. i wonder, is this how all wards are? or just how andrew’s are

”trust-such a foolish, fickle thing; and yet.” ooh i love this sentence. andrew is so reluctant to let people in, it’s so wonderful to see that andrew has allowed himself to trust some of the foxes and it really shows the bond that has formed between him and the other foxes

”the morning is sharp and cold, a blade buried under snow” oh, what beautiful imagery

”nothing should have been able to break through so easily” this makes me so excited! i love powerful characters, although i know that this means that andrew will immediately be that much more wary and suspicious of neil

”andrew grinds his teeth. he must have done it a lot in his sleep last night because pain shoots through his jaw at the renewed pressure” lol this is really relatable

if there’s anything i love more than shapeshifter fics, it’s shapeshifter fics where the shapeshifter is injured… sounds mean but i just love angst!!

”his energy is a carefully rationed good; he’s stopped wasting it on arguing with a stubborn bunch of bleeding hearts who don’t listen to him anyway.” although i know that andrew is, for the most part, fond of the foxes, there’s something so heartbreaking about this. i don’t know exactly what andrew’s backstory is in this au, but i assume it’s similar to in the books, where andrew learns at a young age to not speak his opinion because it doesn’t change things

”sunlight warms his back through the window as he pokes the wards in his mind one by one, plucking at them like strings and listening to their familiar hum” ahh magic is so so cool, i’m always super interested in how it works. do you think that renee experiences her wards in a similar way? i always find myself leaning towards the idea that andrew experiences the world, and as a part of that, magic, in a way that so unique to only himself and that’s why he has so much control over his emotions, actions, and powers

”he doesn’t miss his jacket until he’s back outside and the biting wind sticks its icy fingers under his shirt.” ugh i am such a big fan of your descriptions

”the lapping stops. the fox’s head swivels over and his eyes unerringly find andrew’s across the room” woah i got shivers reading this!!

”the fox hastily retreats into his blanket nest-andrew can see his jacket poking out of the mess and tamps down a brief flash of irritation” i love nesting!! i wonder what neil was thinking when he added it to his pile, was he drawn to the scent of andrew?

”andrew remembers the burned patch on his face, now hidden under healing salve, and puts the lighter away. for now” !!! this is good

”then he reaches out to tap the box twice for yes, somehow succeeding in making the movement look sarcastic” neil josten i love you

”he looks a little bit chastened, but andrew catches him scratching at a scab again the minute abby’s back is turned” this is a great example of how flawlessly you are able to show neil’s personality even though he’s a fox. this reminds me of when wymack was like ‘make sure you have your phone with you and on all the time’ and neil was like ‘okay coach’ and immediately turned it off (was that canon? i think it was but not sure when it happened)

”everyone turns to the fox, who is busy sneaking persimmon slices from renee’s bowl while renee graciously pretends not to notice. his face immediately morphs into a picture of innocence, which matt takes as agreement” this is adorable! neil is so sneaky, but in a cute way. reminds me of a kid version of himself, although he definitely acts this way in the series as well, taking advantage of how fond the foxes are of him (and because of that, how blind they are to how dark and capable he actually is). when neil’s a fox version of himself, is his mind the same as when he’s a human? or is he more… fox-like?

the chickens!!!hen solo? amelia egghart? genius

SCRABBLE THIS IS THE BEST IDEA IN THE WORLD

neil is really showing off his personality here, with the ‘ouch’ and ‘nunya’ (that one made me laugh)

”the words sublimate in front of his mouth, from sound straight to steam. andrew can almost see the scrabble grid in the air” woah, what an amazing couple of sentences

hmm “how long he’s been in his fox form” and “the risks of staying in any one form for too long” hints at the idea that shapeshifters can shift into multiple animal forms? is there a limit? is it based on skill? how many animals can neil shift into?

”it is less them settling into a routine than the routine settling over them, like snow piling up overnight. one morning, andrew wakes up and finds himself neck-deep in it” what in the world, this is so so good

”andrew can’t tell if neil and jean are friends or enemies or a bit of both, but they squabble over everything-the best napping spot in the common room, the juiciest bites at dinner, the shiniest cat toys, the plumpest berries” i love this little insight on what things are like. we don’t see a lot of interaction between neil and jean in the series

andrew carrying around fruit for neil is super cute!

oo i like how you handle neil’s response to not shifting. “neil huffs and pushes a few letter tiles around aimlessly” and “he yawns demonstratively and curls up in his nest” yeah that’s neil

andrew in an ugly sweater knitted by bee that is super warm is the most adorable thing ever

THE BOOZY HOT CHOCOLATE SCENE IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES. IT FEELS SOFT AND KIND OF BLURRY ALONG THE EDGES. ANDREW TRUSTS NEIL ENOUGH TO BE DRUNK AROUND HIM AND I LOVE THAT. thank you for listening to my psa.

wait okay so the edges of the newspaper start to smoke, what is the extent of andrew’s powers?

ohymgoodness i didn’t know there was something that could be as cute as andrew giving neil a bath!!

the scene with andrew showing neil the newspaper is so good. how you describe neil breaks my heart, and i love the mention of andrew feeling neil’s scars

”he seems asleep every time andrew checks on him, but somehow he still follows the progress of the lights across the room, ending up squashed in a corner with the last ruddy-golden wisp of it before it disappears altogether” this is a wonderful detail and i love that you included it

NEIL SHIFTING BACK INTO HUMAN FORM AND ANDREW FREAKING OUT AND THEN NEIL GOING BACK TO A FOX oh. it’s good. again and again. i love the way that you treat it.

i bet the thing that neil missed the most about not being in human form was being able to talk. he probably only survived as a fox because then he couldn’t insult people

”and neil promptly conks out mid-sentence on the couch with his feet in andrew’s lap” ahh this is so cute

”was anyone going to tell me that he’s this handsome or was i just supposed to find that out myself” OH MY GOODNESS YOU REALLY DID THAT

ANDREW AS A FURRY UHHHH

the porcupines!!

okay so dan has a dog, renee has an owl (love that idea, so serene, all-knowing, but ready to strike and attack at a moment’s notice), seth has a rottweiler, aaron has a ferret (that is hilarious to me, HAH), bee has a cat. are there any others that i missed/weren’t mentioned? how did you come up with these matches and do you have backstories behind how they came together?

this fic was so so wonderful to read. as a really conflict-averse person, i loved the sense of comfort i had while i read this, i knew that they were all safe and protected and i felt so warm and cozy. i loved your characterization and the way that you were able to show neil’s personality so well in his fox form. this fic was fluffy, funny, and contained such beautiful descriptions and sentences. i know that when i read a fic that’s written from you, it will be good, and this one was no different. it was so easy to read and i loved witnessing the bond form between andrew and neil. i enjoyed this so so much. thank you for writing it!!

The (he)art of Craft | e.k. x reader

Words: 2173

Boys are clueless.

I know this, but for some reason I keep forgetting.

I crossed my arms in front of myself to rest them as Elmer leaped onto his bed like a flying squirrel. "When you asked me if I wanted to 'hang out with you (and the guys)', this isn't exactly what I was envisioning."

Elmer looked over at me as he scrambled to sit up, blinking in confusion. "Why? What did you have in mind?"

In all honesty, shirtless basketball in the park.

"I don't know." I shook my head and sat on the bed beside him.

I watched Elmer boot up the server, staring at the screen with barely concealed excitement. Four users were already online.

This is not exactly my idea of a hot date. Then again, maybe it's my fault for reading into things. On the other hand, I mean really, what usually comes to mind immediately when a really cute boy asks you if you want to 'hang out'?

See, that's what I thought!

You know what, though? All things considered, it could be worse. He could've asked me to play Wii Sports Bowling with him. It's supposed to be so easy the folks in nursing homes love it, right? Well apparently ole gram-grams has more virtual athletic ability in her pinky finger than I do in my entire body.

Elmer scooted closer to me and pulled out headphones, flipping the earpieces outwards so we could share the same set.

I watched as the screen started spazzing out. "Is that..." I trailed off, pointing at the screen and not sure how to put my thoughts into words as I held my part of the headphones up to my ear.

Elmer quirked an eyebrow. "Yeah, it's usual for this section. The reason it's so glitchy is because someone spawned way too many ocelot assets."

"Hey guys, Elmer has a girl ov—" Romeo started to say, but he was cut off by somebody who was way louder.

"You can never have too many ocelots!" A distinctive, high-pitched but still decidedly male voice exclaimed through the headset.

"The queen of the felines has spoken." Elmer rolled his eyes and smiled as his avatar started jerkily walking towards a large light blue and white building that touched the sky. "This is Racetrack's cat castle—"

"A cat-stle, if you will." Racetrack interrupted.

"I will not." Albert shot back.

Racetrack cleared his throat and adopted a 'tour guide' voice. "Business hours are from 9:00pm to 5:00am, or for the low low price of three diamonds you can get an all-access pass."

"Good grief." Albert muttered under his breath.

"Killing one of my sweet, adorable, cuddly babies— I mean, very loyal subjects— results in an immediate ban for life." Racetrack continued, undeterred. "Donations of precious gemstones and fish, cooked or raw, are always appreciated."

"Yeah, good luck with that." Romeo replied with a small snort.

"I'll come tour your catstle, Race!" Crutchie said cheerily.

"Finally, some proper respect around here."

I gave Elmer the side-eye. "Why isn't it pink?"

"Pink? You think I would use pink?" Racetrack asked with an air of disdain, scoffing. "Please. Pink is a strong, masculine color, fit only for the he-est of men. My graceful feminine eyes can only bear the lightest, most delicate shades of blue, as is befitting a most proper young lady such as myself."

Elmer made eye contact with me and shrugged.

"Also, pink is Romeo's color." Racetrack mumbled with a defeated tone.

Romeo let out a triumphant laugh. "Ya snooze ya lose, loser!"

Alerts in all caps popped up on the screen as three more usernames joined.

Elmer nudged me with his shoulder to get my attention. I tried and failed not to blush. "And to our left, we have Henry's trailer park. In Minecraft, imagination is the only limit, and Henry decided to build a trailer park. Why, I have no idea."

"Because heck you, that's why!" Henry said, but there was no bite in his tone.

"Watch your ****ing language on my good Christian Minecraft server!" Crutchie yelled.

The random conversations going on between others in the background went silent.

"oh no." Crutchie said really quietly, but we could all hear it due to the aforementioned radio silence.

Jojo started muttering The Lord's Prayer to himself.

Somebody let out a very loud snort.

"Gross!" Albert shrieked. "Say it, don't spray it!"

"Kiss my butt!" Racetrack shot back.

There was some fuzzy noise, like somebody dropped their headset on the ground and they were wrestling with each other now.

Jack sighed. "Hey, if y'all are gonna hate-boink, can you please mute your channels please and thank you!"

"Shut up!" Racetrack and Albert shouted at the same time.

Jack cackled like a maniac to himself.

"Okay, you know what?" Albert asked, clearly annoyed. "Keep it up, but I'm gonna tell Katherine all about your little problem with–"

Elmer gasped and pulled his earpiece away from his head. He quickly crossed himself before returning to listening in on the conversation.

"No!" Jack protested as Albert proceeded to spill some very personal information. "You wouldn't!"

"—Don't test me." Albert finished.

"I did not need to know that." Jojo said, clearing his throat awkwardly.

"Ditto." Henry murmured in agreement.

A notification popped up on the screen alerting everybody that Buttons was online and had joined the server, bringing the total up to eight. "Hey, guys! Know what?" He asked, innocently.

"That the unflappable Jack Kelly apparently has a raging butt rash." Romeo answered matter-of-factory.

Buttons seemed at a loss for words. "...Oh." he said, finally.

"I'm dealing with it, okay?" Jack asked, annoyed. "I have cream and I'm taking oatmeal baths—"

"TMI, bro." Albert interrupted.

"You started it!" Jack exclaimed, exasperatedly.

"Your mom started it!" Albert retorted. The height of maturity, that one.

"My mom is dead!"

"Oh yeah? So's mine, you ain't special!" Albert said breezily.

A chorus of 'So is mine' rang through the airspace.

"Okay, well that's depressing." Buttons commented. "Who wants to duel?"

"Ooh, pick me! I'm always a ho for dying!" Racetrack yelled enthusiastically.

"Race, are you okay?" Crutchie asked, concerned.

There was no response for a few seconds, and then I heard the sound of somebody facepalming.

"Race, you're an idiot." Albert said flatly.

"Oh, wait a second."

Elmer adjusted his grip on the headset. "What'd he do?"

Albert sighed. "He shot finger guns at the screen."

"Woooowww." Jojo said, totally done.

"You're just jealous." Race clicked his tongue.

Jojo scoffed. "Why would I be jealous of an evil leprechaun? Oh wait, no, that's Albert."

"Hey!"

I elbowed Elmer. "Are they always like this?"

Elmer nodded. "Constantly."

"Uh, guys? Anyone else's game bugging out?" Jack asked. "Oh wait never mind, I just wandered a little too close to the crazy cat lady's cottage."

Racetrack huffed. "Heck you, butt rash boy."

Jojo let out a mock offended gasp. "Such language!"

"Frick you, HoHo."

Jojo gasped again. "Frick you!"

"That's gay." Racetrack said, snickering.

"You're gay!" Jojo replied.

"So what if I am?! Gay means happy, and I'm the happiest person I know! So there!" Racetrack punctuated his sentence with a somewhat audible 'blep'.

Elmer fake-coughed and raised his voice loud enough to cover Jojo and Racetrack's 'argument'. “To our right is Mush's giant flower garden." He did a slow pan of the colorful, pixelated blooms.

I leaned forward to examine them. It was quite impressive, if only from the sheer numbers of mass collection.

"Dare you to steal one, Elmer." Romeo piped up.

Elmer shook his head vehemently. "Heck no, unlike most of you, I actually value my life."

"Lives having value?" Albert scoffed.

"In this economy?" Racetrack finished for him.

"Now we're coming up on Romeo's super tacky building." Elmer leaned back against the wall as a large, misshapen, pink, vaguely-heart-shaped structure came into view.

"Look, I had a plan originally, but math and grids are hard." Romeo explained.

Racetrack let out a derisive scoff. "Grids are literally the easiest thing, you wannabe fashion icon."

Romeo blew a raspberry.

"Your mom is literally the easiest thing." Albert commented.

I could practically hear Racetrack's smirk from here. "You know, what I'm gathering from all the 'your mom' jokes is, you just really wanna be my daddy."

Somebody started making vey exaggerated gagging noises.

"Uh, pass." Albert muttered under his breath.

"You coughing up a hairball over there or something, Jojo?" Henry asked.

Jojo ceased his gagging. "No, I'm good."

"I bet Race has rabies." Buttons quipped.

"Don't be ridiculous, Race doesn't have rabies!" Crutchie protested. "I had him tested and everything."

"Interesting." I murmured under my breath.

"This is my house!" Elmer announced with a large grin, completely oblivious. "It's one of those tiny houses!"

"That's a very pretentious way of saying 'dirt hut starter home'." Crutchie teased.

"Wow, that's so funny I forgot to laugh." Elmer shot back. "No, it's like one of those minimalist houses that used to be all the rage, but in Minecraft! See?" He gestured at the small building on the screen, eyes sparkling.

I smiled back, his energy practically contagious. "It's very cute." Just like its builder, is what I did not say to him.

"And fully functional!" Elmer opened the door and started pointing out various features. "In the floor is a crafting table and a bed, to the side we have a furnace and a double-wide chest—"

"Your mom has a double-wide chest!" Racetrack exclaimed gleefully before erupting into laughter.

Elmer snapped his mouth shut with an unamused look on his face.

"Dang you Race, I was about to say that." Albert said, almost whining.

Elmer let out a sigh and moved his avatar to the back of the house. "And here's a small vegetable garden."

"Po Tay Toes!" Albert exclaimed, immediately perking back up.

"Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!" Jack added. The first thing he's said in a while, now that I think about it.

"You Irish people scare me." Racetrack commented.

"You're part Irish." Albert said flatly.

"Yeah, and?" Racetrack asked defensively. "I scare myself!"

"That makes two of us." Albert muttered under his breath.

I stole a glance towards Elmer, who was engrossed in harvesting his virtual vegetables. I can't say I understand how or why people invest so much time in this kind of stuff, but at least it makes him happy.

It'd be nice if I could do that.

I don't know what I'm doing, but if I don't ask then I'll spend years replaying this day over and over in my head at 2:00a.m. in the morning overanalyzing every single little detail. Here goes nothing.

I smiled teasingly and nudged Elmer with my elbow, gently. “So, do you invite all the girls out to watch you play Minecraft or am I just special?"

"Say what now?" Elmer looked over at me suddenly, blinking as if he was coming out of a trance as his eyes re-adjusted to the real world.

Uh-oh.

"This is a date?"

"This isn't a date?" We both asked in unison.

There was an awkward silence for about ten seconds, which was then broken by the sound of loud crunching over the headset.

"Henry!" About five or six voices exclaimed.

"What?" Henry asked defensively. "This is entertaining, thus, snacks are a must! Can y'all blame me?"

"Elmer," Racetrack sighed, "when you ask a girl to quote, 'hang out', unquote, that's code for a date. Just like Netflix and Chill is—"

"Stop! Don't ruin his innocence!" Buttons interrupted.

"I'm just saying, he's not gonna get very far if he doesn't know—"

Elmer pulled the headset down and placed it on the bed between us, hitting mute at the same time. "Look, this didn't go the way I planned, 'cause I was gonna ask you out for real, but then I panicked, so no wonder you've been getting mixed signals, but..."

He stared down at the floor and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "Can we just finish out today platonic and like, start fresh tomorrow? And I promise, if it's what you want, I will ask you on a real, proper date then."

I grinned and turned back to face the screen so I wasn't staring at him and making him even more uncomfortable. "Sounds good to me."

"Cool." Elmer returned the grin and did two thumbs up at me, shoulders scrunched up, then picked the headset back up and held it up to his ear.

I leaned in to unmute it and was greeted with a cacophony of all the boys arguing with each other over what exactly was happening on our end.

I hesitantly reached over to place my arm around Elmer's shoulders. "Do you mind if... is this okay?"

Elmer beamed from ear to ear and leaned into my touch. "Yeah."

"What's going on?" Romeo asked loudly, effectively putting a damper on the moment. "I need visuals!"

(DISCLAIMER! ONLY THE GREEN POSTER IS MY OWN WORK)

Alright well… honestly I think this week could have gone better for this class. My poster got pretty torn to shreds, and while my group liked a couple of my ideas for the next project, they’re too complicated or possibly culturally insensitive? The main critiques I seemed to get for my Humans of New York poster seemed to be about my grid layout. I must’ve used the second grid layout given incorrectly, since I kept the line length the same as the original poster, and the original only used a one column system, so I thought it was ok, but I was wrong. Next time I’ll keep lines short, keep things out of the sides of my posters, and make better grids. For my Park Poster, I still like the idea of having the forest into mountains background of one of my ideas, but I may just keep the center shape (arrowhead or otherwise) a solid color so that the text doesn’t get lost in the waterfall. (also I would not look forward to making a waterfall in illustrator) I liked the idea of the center shape being a window into another part of the park, but it may be hard to incorporate that. I’ve looked at the original poster for the park and I wasn’t super impressed by it. Maybe I’m just missing something, but I do not understand what the shapes in the corners are supposed to represent. I like the color palette and the simplicity, but I never feel like I could pull off simple designs like that because I would feel like people would think I put no effort into the project. The only other thing I can think of to use as the backboard for the text right now would be a bear head or maybe a flower design from the park. In other news, this week’s reading was about type anatomy. I’d bet many of you might not have known text had its own anatomy, right? Well it does! It’s always interesting to see how complex even the simplest things we take for granted can be! You can classify type based on its historical classifications like Old Style, Italic, Transitional, and Modern. There are other varieties such as serif and sans serif as well. There are more intricate classifications like tails, stems, arms, and bowls, but it’s difficult to describe them without a visual guide. See you next week to show progress on my Park Poster.

Super Bowl squares results, template, how to play online, and more

This standard, blank Super Bowl squares image has Kansas City along the top row and Tampa Bay along the left-most column. | PrintYourBracket.com

Why not try and make a little money while watching the Bucs and Chiefs battle in Super Bowl 55?

The 2021 Super Bowl matchup is between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs are making their fourth appearance, having lost in the first Super Bowl and then winning in Super Bowls 4 and 54. The Bucs are 1-0 in Super Bowls entering this year’s game, defeating the Raiders in 2003’s Super Bowl 37. With Super Bowl 55 taking place in Raymond James Stadium, the Bucs are the first Super Bowl team to play in their home stadium.

If what’s happening on the field isn’t quite enough to draw your attention, putting some money down on the action could make things a bit more interesting. Setting up a Super Bowl squares game is one way to stay involved in the matchup and may help keep the interest up for friends and/or guests who might not be as into football as the rest of us.

Chiefs vs. Buccaneers Super Bowl squares results

First Quarter

The Bucs lead the Chiefs, 7-3, after one quarter of play. Find that square that matches up with the the “7” on the Bucs’ side and the “3” on the Chiefs’ side.

Here’s a quick and simple way to play squares.

1. Create betting grid

This part is pretty simple. You just need a 10-by-10 grid with 100 squares to work with. You can either draw this out on a piece of paper, or use an online template.

Here’s an example of what your grid could look like, thanks to PrintYourBrackets.com:

PrintYourBracket.com

2. Find people to play

Most people will be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday, so why not make a little coin while you’re at it? There are a few options to get people involved:

1) If you’re hosting a Super Bowl party, you can pass the grid around or set it up as an activity as guests enter. Guests who want to play can fill out as many squares as they want — typically for $1 per square. (You can do this ahead of the big game too, if you’re not watching with a group, and have the grid filled out ahead of time.)

2) If you’re hosting a strictly online game, you can use sites like SuperBowlSquares.org to help coordinate and organize players and bets.

Once the grid is full, the real fun part of the game begins.

3. Draw or assign numbers

Either by drawing numbers from a hat or using a random number generator, assign digits 0-9 (in the order they are drawn/generated) to the top row and left column of the grid. This makes each square an intersection of the two numbers — and will be what determines the payout for players.

4. Figuring out the winners

Typically, winnings for Super Bowl squares are determined at the end of each quarter, based on the final digit of each team’s score. For exampled, if the Bucs lead 14-10 at the end of the first quarter, the Super Bowl square player whose square intersects with “4” and “0” would win a share of the pot.

There are many different ways to play Super Bowl squares and a host of different rules you can enact. (Some people do only one big payout at the final whistle, instead of each quarter, etc...). There’s no limit to the number of ways to split the pot, so get creative and have fun — and hopefully, make a little bit of money.

O: In today's episode, we open on a mine where some miners have found GOLD.

S: A shit ton of it.

O: And one of them is tits out for gold.

S: There is more ab definition than I would expect here, really.

O: He's got Ratchets VA, uh, so does this mean Ratchet’s tits out for gold?

B: [snicker]

O: Speaking of which, I hope you're prepared for some Don Messick this episode because he voices Gears too. [laughs]

S: Immediately afterwards the Seekers and Soundwave arrive, shooting up everything.

O: Soundwave releases Laserbeak and Ravage who retrieve the miners and bring them back to Soundwave.

S: And by retrieve we mean that Laserbeak shoots through a shed/cabin, thingy and uh, nabs ones of them. While Ravage grabs the idiot who tried to fight him with a stick and then bodily drags him back to Soundwave. Soundwave and the cassettes play fetch.

O: It's good wholesome family fun for everyone who matters!

S: We see the third miner attempt to get to the radio unnoticed as Megatron shows up and demands that Starscream report in.

O: Starscream attempts to shoot the last miner but Megatron knocks him on his ass because Megatron needs him to call the Autobots. You know, a normal Tuesday for these two.

S: And now at the Ark, uh, complete with trees this time.

O: [chuckles] The Autobots scramble, and gather in the Teletraan I room before they roll out.

S: As all the Autobots are running along we see Gears, walking slowly and complaining.

O: Bee hops onto his shoulders and then backflips off of him to continue on his way, while basically telling Gears he's grumpy.

S: Seems legit. Arriving at the mine, the Autobots transform and attack the Decepticons.

O: Megatron and Optimus yell at each other some more as Megs transforms and shoots the cage the humans are in to free them as a distraction.

S: Okay Megs, sure.

O: [laughs] But then, he transforms back into robot mode, shoots some boulders on top of Optimus and company, then transforms back into gun mode and has Soundwave fire him at Gears, who was apparently their real target!

S: This is convoluted.

O: No, you think!?! [laughs] Anyway, Gears is now trapped in a hole and Starscream prepares to shoot him, before being knocked down by Megatron again.

S: That's like twice in the past five minutes.

O: Literally! Megatron blabs about, “Final victory!” Before having Skywarp come over and fly off with Gears.

S: And I think this just looks really silly.

O: It looks very silly.

S: Optimus gets up and says, “They've got Gears!” Our small, angry grumpy man.

O: [deadpan] Oh no, not Gears. He's been in all of like, two episodes.

S: Apparently, we're supposed to care about him.

O: Are we though?

S: Elsewhere in a clearing some where we see the Cybertronian recreation of Stonehenge. And according to Megatron it's a Solar Needle.

O: We're gonna steal energy from the Sun now, finally.

S: The Decepticons finally try solar energy but in literally the stupidest way possible.

O: [laughs] And Gears is gonna help them do it.

S: Gears just looks like he's in a robot playpen with electricity, this is...so silly.

O: The fact that he is significantly shorter than both Megatron and Starscream is not helping this impression in the slightest.

S: It really isn't. When Gears is uncooperative Megatron has Starscream freeze him with his Null Ray.

O: Apparently, out of all of the Autobots, Gears has some circuit that can complete the Solar Needle, that they need.

S: How? But okay, uh, Megatron removes it and suddenly Gears is the most agreeable Cybertronian ever.

O: Be afraid. [laughs]

S: Megatron proceeds to shove the circuit into the Solar Needle and begins gathering a fuck ton of energy from the Sun.

O: And, lo! Across the globe, all the major landmarks are subjected to earthquakes!

S: Megatron's plan to turn the Sun into a rad ass disco ball inspires the Earth to shake what his mama gave it.

O: [barely contained laughter] Of course! That’s- that’s how this works isn’t it!?!

S: Apparently. Um, the Ark is also being subjected to these earthquakes as well.

O: Or did Mount St. Hilary just become active for like the tenth damn time?

S: The excuse for all this nonsense is apparently… solar flares, because somehow solar flares somehow affect the interior of the Earth?

O: [trying not to laugh] I don’t think that’s how solar flares work!

S: Neither do I.

O: [laughs]

S: A bunch of boulders begin to fall on the Autobots.

O: From the earthquakes. Uh, Cliffjumper must be scooped up by Ironhide before he's crushed by one of said boulders.

S: And now all the foliage is gone! Where did the trees go? I wish there was some consistency because... what the hell?

O: Uh, in this show? Never! And after securing the base, Optimus reaches the you know, oh so difficult conclusion, that obviously Megatron's behind this.

S: He said he'd bet his torsion bars on this. What part of their anatomy is a torsion bar?

O: I'm not even gonna think about the answer for that question. Back at the Solar Needle! Megatron is monologuing, to no one!

S: And also Gears is being super helpful right now, for the Decepticons.

O: And jetting back to the Ark, the Autobots have reached a conclusion that the Sun will explode in slightly less than two Earth hours if they don't stop whatever it is that Megatron is doing.

S: The Autobots proceed to roll out and head towards Africa. Which is apparently where the Decepticons currently are.

O: Ah, the reused animation- I mean at the Solar Needle!

S: Which I feel we should specify, the Solar Needle- there's literally just a beam of light beaming into the Sun.

O: Yes, and this is going to cause it to explode.

S: [sighs] Somehow, yeah.

O: Anyway, at the Solar Needle!

S: Gears is helping the Seekers gather Energon.

O: Starscream observes that the Earth seems unstable, but Megatron tells them not to worry his pretty little head about it.

S: This is another one of those episodes that is constantly swapping back and forth between the Autobots and Decepticons with very little relevant information like, occurring in these things so…

O: Yeah. So back with the Autobots, uh, they drive past a herd of zebras before they reach a thick jungle. Said zebras I think, disappear before entirely exiting the frame too? [laughs]

S: That's very possible, I don't remember. Sunstreaker and Jazz hop onto the side of Prime's truck mode and proceed to use their blasters to disintegrate trees to make a road. Oh the ecological vandalism!

O: ~It's FUN!~ And back yet again with the Cons, Gears reflects that he should be mad at Megatron right now.

S: Starscream tries to shoot Gears, but the shot goes awry and is reflected back on him, Megatron and Gears, sending them flying.

O: This is like the third time this episode that Starscream tries to blast something that he should not blast.

S: Well this time he actually did shoot something. The other times he didn't.

O: Yes, it's like the third time he was going to shoot something. I know it's the first time he actually shot something, but basically it’s the third time Megatron's had to be like- Starscream, no. [laughs]

S: [sighs] Gears goes headfirst into poor Soundwave, knocking him over.

O: The Autobots continue to blast their way through a jungle making a leap over a large crevice.

S: Everyone makes it, but Bumblebee, who must be rescued by Wheeljack.

O: And it feels like a super awkward scene because there's zero dialogue, or screaming, or anything happening here. I'm also just not sure why this scene is happening at all? It doesn't really add anything to anything that's happening.

S: The Autobots reach the Solar Needle and attack, but their attacks reflect back on them.

O: Tired of all the talking, Cliffjumper does what he does best- jumping into action! And our little red dumb ass does manage to drop the energy shield protecting the Solar Needle.

S: Who would win? An energy shield or one small red bot, with a name that involves jumping off of stuff?

O: And Cliffjumper’s perfectly fine of course, so um, you know.

S: A fight proceeds to break out.

O: Some nonsense happens, such as Gears magically teleporting and Starscream picking Gears up and talking to him in Skywarp’s voice.

S: The scene changes and Gears is on the ground with Starscream aiming at him. Starscream sounds like himself at least again. Ah, but Bee runs into Starscream in car mode getting a strike, I mean um, sending him flying.

O: Bowling! [laughs] Soundwave sends out Laserbeak and Ravage to attack Bee, but Bee ends up tossing Ravage into Soundwave, knocking the poor guy down again.

S: And onto Megatron and Optimus, it's DANCING time!

O: I think he means sexual tension time.

S: Of course that's what I mean. Dancing is a courtship ritual they're just very bad at deciding who's leading.

O: [laughs] Mm-hmm! Optimus tries to tell him that the Sun will explode but of course Megatron doesn't believe him.

S: Megatron has belief issues. Megs picks up Optimus and chucks him through the air.

O: Gears attempts to save Prime by shooting at one of the machines controlling the energy grid causing the energy to go wild and nearly hit Starscream and Ironhide.

S: Megatron transforms, and then Soundwave shoots Gears... using Megatron?

O: Yes. We're like three for three with Soundwave shooting Megatron today, by the way. [laughs]

S: Optimus attempts to reason with Megs about the whole you know the Sun is going to explode thing.

O: The dreaded return of astro-seconds happens.

S: [groans]

O: [laughs] Megatron calls Gears over, who cheerfully calls Megs, “You rotten a hunk of scrap!”

S: Megatron orders him to repair the Solar Needle and he's like, “Ok, I don't want to, but ok.”

O: Gears is honestly hilarious in this episode because he's like, “Happy to be of service!” Then he mutters, “I wish I wasn't, but I am.” [laughs]

S: Objectively this is actually a very horrifying thing that’s happened to Gears.

O: Oh absolutely, but I do love the dialogue. [laughs]

S: The Autobots object very loudly to Gears being nice.

O: Megatron has the Seekers take aim at Optimus, but Optimus asks for a last request.

S: And then Megatron tells him, “To be quick about it!”

O: Optimus asks Gears for a favor. Gears, then gleefully shoots the Solar Needle.

S: And then another fight breaks out, but did the other one actually end?

O: That's the good question, right? Some highlights!

S: Optimus decks Megatron.

O: Ratchet karate kicks Thundercracker into a tree.

S: I love that bit, personally.

O: Yeah! Wheeljack decks Skywarp.

S: And then Gears picks up Starscream, whirls him around and tosses him into Soundwave.

O: Oh my god, again!?! Poor Soundwave! He keeps getting knocked down through no fault of his own!

S: And then the Cons retreat and Optimus demands that Megatron turn off the Solar Needle.

O: Our idiots continue to fight until Optimus kicks Megs off the platform and then it’s- finally freakin’ flies off.

S: Optimus proceeds to get down to business of getting this damn thing turned off.

O: Ratchet has to save his husband- I mean Wheeljack, kicking a boulder into a falling column to knock it away from him.

S: They promptly disagree on how to turn the stupid solar array off.

O: Wheeljack was right apparently, as Optimus yanks one of the wires out and finally shuts down the Solar Needle.

S: Gears asks for his personality circuit back, much to the chagrin of the other Autobots.

O: They were just talking about, “Oh no! How could you make Gears like this!?!” and then promptly want to leave Gears like this. You hypocrites!

S: It's horrifying.

O: It is!

S: Before they leave, they blow up the remaining equipment and everyone drives off as Gears starts complaining and leaving- they leave him behind.

O: Yeah, they leave him behind as he's like, complaining. So that's the end of today's episode. So join us next time for, ‘The Prime Problem’. [Should be ‘A Prime Problem,’ my bad! ~Owls] Megatron decides to build himself an Optimus Prime, an evil Optimus Prime that is. All right, Specs, what is our fan fic for today?

S: The first fanfic for today is, “A Night Like This,” by Scott Kempe. It's in the G1 cartoon continuity, it's rated K, it's Gen. There are no pairings, and characters are: Daniel Witwicky, Spike Witwicky, Hound and Gears. And in summary, “It's a night under the stars. With Gears.”

O: I love that with that summary, it's still Gen. Like, it sounds like a romantic date with Gears. I have no idea if that’s supposed to be the implication, but that's how I'm interpreting it.

S: I've read it, but it was so long ago at this point since I read it and put it on the thing. I don't actually remember. But it's a one shot, and the character rec for this as literally, ‘Gears’... so, yeah. And our next one is also Gears-centric. It's, “All That it Seems,” by Lnzy1 or L-N-Z-Y-1. Its G1 cartoon continuity. I apparently didn't put a rating on it, but it's probably rated K uh, K+.

O: K+, okay.

S: It's Gen, no pairings and it's Gears. That's the character, the only character in here-

O: [snorts]

S: -I guess. Uh, in- in summary, “Generation One. One-shot. Gears sees something that compels him to... gasp! Be helpful! Damn his Autobot core programming and his compassion circuits to the pits!”

O: [laughs]

S: And yeah, it's Gears-centric, that's why I chose it, and it's also a one shot. So thank you, let's go to the art recs.

O: Our fanartist for today is Koroa, who does a variety, I think? Primarily I saw Prime and IDW. I love their stuff, I wish I had more electronics I could stick stickers of their stuff on, you have no idea. And today we have linked some lovely art of the Autobot and Decepticon badges and some motivational Minimus and Ultra Magnus posters, of which I actually own now and are up by my desk. [laughs] Um, I also may definitely own stickers of the Decepticon and Autobot logos that are on my computers. We will be posting links to their Tumblr, you can find other links on our Tumblr.

S: And on their Tumblr I would assume?

O: Yes.

S: And that just about wraps it up for us today remember to check us out on Tumblr or Pillowfort as Afterspark-Podcast for any additional information, show notes, or links we may have mentioned. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter @AftersparkPod (all on word) and various other locations by searching for Afterspark Podcast such as, AO3, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and Youtube, just to name a few. Till next time, I'm Specs.

O: And I’m Owls!

S: Toodles.

Super Bowl squares template, how to play online, and more

PrintYourBackets.com

Why not try and make a little money while watching the Bucs and Chiefs battle it in Super Bowl 55?

Here’s a quick and simple way to play squares.

1. Create betting grid

This part is pretty simple. You just need a 10-by-10 grid with 100 squares to work with. You can either draw this out on a piece of paper, or use an online template.

Here’s an example of what your grid could look like, thanks to PrintYourBrackets.com.:

PrintYourBracket.com

2. Find people to play

Most people will be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday, so why not make a little coin while you’re at it? There are a few options to get people involved:

2) If you’re hosting a strictly online game, you can use sites like SuperBowlSquares.org to help coordinate and organize players and bets.

Once the grid is full, the real fun part of the game begins.

3. Draw or assign numbers

4. Figuring out the winners

Typically, winnings for Super Bowl squares are determined at the end of each quarter, based on the final digit of each team’s score. For exampled, if the 49ers lead 14-10 at the end of the first quarter, the Super Bowl square player whose square intersects with “4” and “0” would win a share of the pot.

Adam Richman’s Tips for Hosting an Epic Football-Viewing Feast

TV personality, cook, and author Adam Richman has wolfed down a 7-pound burrito, violently spicy suicide wings, and a towering 12-patty cheeseburger on the hit Travel Channel show “Man v Food,” which he hosted from 2008 to 2012.

But Richman has posed as more than a glutton for our entertainment before that time and since then. And our football parties can benefit.The Brooklyn-born graduate of Emory University and the Yale School of Drama possesses the skills, talent, and charm that enabled to do other projects since then — such as NBC’s food competition show “Food Fighters” in 2014. Richman has authored America the Edible by Rodale Publishing in 2011, and Straight-Up Tasty by Clarkson Potter in 2015.

From this last book of Richman’s, we pulled two recipes that will make your tastebuds cheer as you watch the game with your friends and family this football season. But you need more in your game plan than those two decadent dishes. Passionate about food and entertaining in his personal life as well as professional career, it’s no surprise Richman is expert enough to give us a bunch of winning pointers to up our party-hosting game.

Remember, it’s not just about the food (or the game! Yes, we said it). When people come your home to watch a football game, it’s a gathering at the end of the day, he says. “You can’t lose sight that while it may not be a hearth — it’s a flickering box with a bunch of guys smashing each other on the grid iron — you still have to be the hostess with the mostess,” Richman says.

1. Know your crowd.

Angie’s List/iStock

Plan according to the vibe you expect. You could have a crowd of calm, civilized, married couples or a bunch of jersey-clad bros, pacing, betting and talking smack.

For the calm crowd, you can have a potluck-buffet-style table so guests can go in the kitchen to fill their plates. But you still should have something for snacking in front of the TV. You can do a little more food that requires a fork and knife, or save that for half time. “You can ask more from your viewing experience than most people do,” Richman says, who once brought his grandma’s sweet and sour meatballs to a football-focused potluck. Pasta salad is another good idea.

For the rowdy crowd, focus more on finger food and communal dishes. Use disposable plates, utensils, and plastic table cloths. Set out an additional trash can within arm’s reach of the coffee table and couch. “People are more protective of their seat when they watch the Super Bowl,” so they’ll be more reluctant to leave their viewing spot, Richman says. “I’ve seen a friend demonstrate a tackle while holding wings with a dollop of blue cheese dip.” With that in mind, have easy-to-eat dishes for the guys who stand and pace the whole time, as well food for the guys who sit and relax and socialize during the game.

2. Make everything obvious and easy to eat.

Getty

Put everything out, including your disposable utensils nestled in Solo cups. You can get a big sandwich loaf and pre-cut the slices, marking them with toothpicks. But remember to make a big sign that says “Remove toothpicks.” It’s not as obvious as you think when all your attention is zeroed in on the action onscreen. “I’ve had to tell guys that,” Richman says, laughing.

Remember, people are multi-tasking. Most people are watching the screen and gesticulating wildly while eating and drinking. “There’s something to be said for acknowledging that ahead of time,” Richman says, and creating for your guests “the ability to absentmindedly pop something in your mouth while watching television and have a flavor bomb.” If you make a pizza at home, slice the crust so people can just grab it and eat. Do that with everything.

3. Put more thought into the drink situation.

Getty

“There’s this classic idea of beer and wings, and that’s great,” he says. But do more. “I’ll mix in with the alcoholic beverages some nonalcoholic beverages so the guy who doesn’t want to drink doesn’t have to go somewhere else and feel ostracized.”

Richman recommends a cool bourbon drink in a pitcher, a peach sangria, or spiked Arnold Palmer (lemonade-tea mix). “For people who want an alcoholic option that’s not beer, they appreciate it,” he says. “Again, know your crowd. If you know guys are into craft beers, you’ll drink it from bottles, or maybe they want a case of Coronas.”

Tie in the drinks with who’s playing on the field. “It’s a chance to customize the experience to that particular game,” Richman says. If it’s Cincinnati versus ‘Nola, consider offering Fat Head beer v. Abita beer or pitcher of Hurricanes.

4. Prevent a mess with good strategy.

Getty/Burlingham

You need to seriously consider the logistics of the event. Be a true entertainer: Let people know where the bathroom is, what towels to use, and where the trash is. Make everything self-explanatory. If it’s snowy or wet out, have a clear, designated place for people to take their shoes off so they’re not stepping on wet stuff the whole time.

Create a specific spot to go for beverages that’s not the fridge. Use a metal tub or cooler filled with ice and beer. If you’re doing the tub or cooler in the living room, spread out a vinyl, disposable tablecloth, or lawn-leaf bag underneath to protect the floor. “When people reach in this ice thing to get a drink, they’re bound to drip, and ice shifts and melts,” Richman says. “It’s a great way to avoid spillage ahead of time and prevent people from slipping or ruining your floors.”

Use a completely separate container, lined with a bag, for ice. A red Solo cup can be the ice scoop, and “literally take a black Sharpie and write on it ‘ice scoop’ because you don’t want people digging with their hands where ever they’ve been been, scratching and all,” Richman says. Or use a kids’s sand-sculpting shovel.

You probably want to recycle the bottles and cans. Richman lines one trash can with blue liner for recycling bottles and cans. “I always make it clear this is where the bottles go,” he says. It’s important to make this bin easy to reach from the TV viewing area, because you don’t want everyone to leave empty glass bottles on the edge of the coffee table where it could break with all the commotion, kids, and pets.

Provide antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer. “I’m not above getting a Purell and putting it on the edge of the table next to the Solo cups full of silverware,” Richman says. If people are going to reach in to get chips from the communal bowl, they’re more likely to wash their hands beforehand if it’s right there.

As for the bathroom, make sure you have backup toilet tissue and provide air freshener to keep your guests from being embarrassed or compromised.

5. Elevate the classics.

A big sandwich doesn’t have to be a cold-cut submarine like you get at corporate affairs. Your massive sandwich be a salmon steak BLT. Make wings, but flavor them with lemon pepper and Champagne. “You can play with elevated flavor profiles on the most mundane dishes,” he says. Place four cheeses in your grilled cheese, make your own tortilla chips for nachos, and top your pizza with Fontina cheese, speck, arugula, and truffle oil.

If you’re doing a buffet, create pasta dishes studded with big flavor, such as sausage and shrimp. The bulk of the dish is pasta, so you can feed a crowd with less expense.

Set up a charcuterie plate, with good local bread, cheeses, and olives. “People can find the combinations they like. It’s a customizable experience,” Richman says. “You can put it out in the first quarter, and it’ll still be good hours later; the meat might sweat a bit but it won’t go bad by the fourth quarter.”

People love dips and intense, crunchy foods when they’re anxious. That’s partly why fried food works so well as sports bar fare. Cut chicken breast into tenders, bread them, fry them, and serve with honey mustard and ranch dressing.

People love spring rolls and egg rolls, but you can be even more creative, combining those with everyone’s love of Southern barbecue: Crunchy, pulled pork egg rolls with dipping sauce.

“In the winter and at these games, you want something hearty and stick-to-your-ribs,” he says. Richman made both the recipes below for his friends, and they’re included in his Straight-Up Tasty cookbook.

Creamy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwich Dumplings

Chowhound

White Wonder Bread, waxy slices of American cheese, and comfort food classics don’t conjure images of sophistication, and they’re not supposed to anyway. But this technique that puts a twist on this simple American comfort meal is impressive — and still easy to do. Get our Creamy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwich Dumplings recipe.

Baked Gouda with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

Chowhound

Serve an “ooey-gooey melted cheese and a nice crust” with a technique that’s not hard at all, Richman says. But it produces a wow-worthy result that will have guests digging in with appreciation. The creamy Gouda with the fresh herbs and acidic bite of the sun-dried tomatoes creates a winning appetizer that can work for an elegant dinner party as well as a rowdy football-viewing afternoon.

How to Connect to Our Higher Consciousness with a Pendulum

We all have the ability to access our intuitive capacities by using a pendulum. Learning to use a pendulum is like learning any other skill. It requires time, determination, trust, balance and persistent practice.

Given these, success can be expected. Every object, animate or inanimate, gives off energetic radiation, and our expanded senses can feel and measure these energies.

The intuitive, or super-conscious mind is the recipient of this information when we access the bridge to it.

The pendulum is only a communication device between the conscious and the subconscious mind. The pendulum itself does not gives you answers.

It is nothing more than an object to give you the means or language to make conscious the Intuition. Successful use of a pendulum is a matter of establishing a clear, precise and consistent language between the two parts of the mind.

The subconscious mind takes all communications literally. It takes time for the subconscious to understand what is expected of it and respond accordingly.

It is necessary to approach the pendulum with enthusiasm, optimism and the confidence that you are able to use it. It is an incredible skill that can allow you access to information, knowledge and wisdom beyond all limitations.

How the Pendulum Works

The pendulum can be thought of as an extension of the intuition, since it is used to gain access to information that exists at the subconscious level of the Inner Being. It could be said that it strengthens or amplifies the intuition because it converts the subtleties of the intuition into a more obvious form of physical motion.

When you ask a question of the pendulum, it is your own intuition that answers it. The pendulum merely allows you to physically see what the intuition already knows.

As an extension of the intuition, the pendulum can give you information from the same two sources as the intuition: from your own subconscious mind; and from your guidance, spirit, or guardian angel. Because of how it operates, the pendulum can only answer questions that are phrased so that the answer is either “yes” or “no”.

Connecting to Your Higher Self

Limited views and opinions are stifling. They detach us from reality, decrease our awareness and shut down our mind. We all have a limited view of some areas of our lives. Gaining a broader perspective is self awareness.

Being able to open up your mind, allowing a free flow of thoughts and ideas can be liberating. Welcoming a new opinion or way of doing something can bring new meaning to your life.

If you give up your closed thoughts and make way for a different opinion, you may be surprised at the outcome.

Striving to meet difficult goals has pushed us to stretch the horizons of what we think is possible.

We share the ways in which obstacles and challenges have made us stronger, and given us confidence to continue setting goals and dreams in our adventures, our business, and in our day to day lives. This is conscious living.

You only want to work with your Higher Self. Any of your guides, spirits and angels can go through your Higher Self. Start by speaking to your spirits either aloud of in your head.

Tuning in to any energy is the ability to quiet the mind, allowing your inner self, or intuition, to perceive truth. By practicing this art, we develop a sensitivity toward inner information and the ability to condition our mind to listen on a much more subtle level. This developing can give us the ability to sense energy and actually perceive on an even more subconscious plane.

Universal Symbols of Shape and Color

The following shapes and colors have a Universal meaning, yet in almost every religion, culture and part of the world, they have their own specific meaning to go along side these definitions.

These shapes are Universally recognized and play a part of our subconscious mind in one way or another. The colors represent one general idealism; yet can represent something entirely different if used in a different context.

Circle (ball): An ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, the goddess, and female power. A romantic attachment or deep friendship and a sacred space. The circle symbolizes the sacred and spiritual including the “sacred” earth. See pendulums in ths category.

Diamond (faceted): Because of its perfect symmetry, the diamond vibrates toward harmony. This makes it an excellent shape for meditation gardens or those used for culinary purposes. As this shape also vibrates toward the solidity of Earth, it’s a good bet for magical gardens involving prosperity and abundance, and issues of the family, home, and hearth. See pendulums in ths category.

Heart: generally, hearts represent love, but may also indicate a romantic disposition. True love, happiness, financial gain, lasting love, and love for other.

Hexagon: is a polygon with six edges and six vertices. The word hexagon is derived from the Latin hexagnum, from Greek hexagnos, having six angles. This hexagonal star is faceted and carved from natural crystal.

Use it for balancing Chakras, laying on problem areas, creating a crystal grid, to amplify the power of your other stones, power up your positive affirmations. Place this star in any room where you want to create a balanced, healthy environment. See pendulums in ths category.

Octagon: Eight denotes the intermediary region between earth and heaven or, microcosm, between body and spirit; and the octagon is a symbol of the “best” part of psychic substance that is the vehicle of spiritual light. The octagon expresses the nearness to heaven of the psychic elements in question, and by being almost circular in form it expresses their all but spiritual nature.

Oval: This voluptuous and feminine shape not only represents completeness, but is also a symbol of the infinite. It conjures up the idea of wisdom and the power of longevity and for all eternity. See pendulums in ths category.

Rectangle: The rectangle symbolizes the female form. Intelligence; Protector; Divine contemplation. The rectangle also symbolizes the equilibration of the fourfold forces.

Square: The square represents the physical world. Like the quartered circle, it points pagans to the four compass directions: north, east, south and west.

Star (merkaba): are drawn by ambitious people and may suggest a desire for self-promotion. Little stars indicate optimism, while asymmetrical stars suggest excess energy. A sign of hope, love, joy and prosperity, protection against fires, good fortune, hope, love, fertility, energy and harmony.

The unique qualities of the star (merkaba) are the divine light vehicle used by ascended masters to connect with those in tune with the higher realms. “Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another. See pendulums in ths category.

Triangle (pyramid): Associated with the number three. Pointing upwards, it symbolizes fire, male power, good luck; Pointing down, it symbolizes water, female sexuality, goddess, religions, take care.

Combination Ball and Triangle: energy point with ball adds both the element of a point, which vibrates toward harmony and the Universal symbol of unity. This makes it an excellent shape for meditation gardens or those used for culinary purposes.

As this shape also vibrates toward the solidity of Earth. The ball or circle is an ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, the goddess, and female power. See pendulums in ths category.

Pendulum Colors and Their Connections

Red – grounding emotions, passion, charisma, lust and also the creative spark.

Orange – sexual fire, abundance in career, projects and matters needing an added push.

Yellow – the color of power, health in body and mind, love of man and the sun, connection to the God form.

Green – growth, fertility, success in things and ideas that grow hope.

Blue – protection, peace, calmness and spirituality.

Indigo – richness of meditation, twilight, deep emotions, seriousness and contemplation.

Violet – the highest Universal power and those things that are sacred.

White – purity, power of the moon, allows energy to flow freely, faith.

Black – protection, also used to blend or bind elements together.

Multicolor – represents the rainbow colors most associated with the full rainbow spectrum and is most related to the Chakra centers and Aura field.

The Care and Use of Your Pendulum

1. If you are drawn to a particular pendulum, it has probably already chosen you.

2. Cleanse your pendulum by running it under lukewarm water or do a smudging with sage.

3. You can charge your pendulum with energy by placing it on a crystal cluster, in a bowl with hematite or with quartz.

4. If you pendulum is made from crystal, look at the specific cleansing for that particular crystal. Some crystals do not like salt water, sun, extreme heat, extreme cold or water.

5. Keep your pendulum in a covered or in a bag to eliminate the dust accumulation.

6. Always ask your question with the proper intention. Keep your mind clear and positive. Do not ask questions that you cannot handle the answer to.

7. Pendulums have different swings. You should determine your yes and no swing, before you start your session.

8. Always stop the pendulum from swinging between questions.

Harness the Pure Power of Crystal Energy in Your Water

Soji Crystal Water Bottles contain pure natural crystals. These beautiful stones when combined with water produce an elixir that encourages rejuvenation & clarification of both the body and mind. Introduce purification and positivity into your everyday routine with Soji.

Since ancient times, crystals elixirs have been used for their powerful energetic healing properties. Crystals can help heal deep-seated issues, bringing forth good health and greater happiness. Each crystal has its own unique healing properties — some are best suited for abundance and prosperity, while others are better for love, relationships and harmony, or even protection and shielding.

Soji crystal water bottles are safe, non-toxic, and highly effective. We believe in the beauty and power of natural things, and we believe in the power of nature to bring these results.

Crystal elixirs go by many names: gem waters, gem elixirs, gem tonics, gem essences, crystal waters, crystal essences, crystal tonics, and more. These terms are used interchangeably and all mean the same thing, “Crystal Infused Water.”

Crystal elixirs are produced by adding crystals to water in order to revitalize it. Water has its own consciousness and memory, so when you add crystal into water that is pure, it transfers the energy of that crystal. The term elixir was derived from the Arabic word “al iksic” meaning “miracle substance.”

Alternative healers have created crystal elixirs from their homes for centuries, and you can also trace elixir use in ancient Chinese and Greek texts that were used to cure certain ailments. Crystal elixirs have remained a mystery for this long because there is no easy or portable means of making them.

A SOJI bottle is the modern version of a crystal elixir which is .

What else are you gonna do with your stupid life? College football watch ‘em ups for week 2 (officially) of the 2018 season

I’m all in on the rebirth of the run & shoot and don’t know if I have enough caring in me to write about every game this week. FUCK IT WE’LL DO IT LIVE!

Disclaimers about time zones and other sites and what the fuck ever go here. It doesn’t matter, we rake in like zero ad dollars from these posts.

This week is an oddity due to a lack of off-day games. Just one Friday and no others. I kind of wish every week was like this but I think this is the only one for the year.

Saturday, September 8

Matchup Time (ET) TV/Mobile

Arizona at Houston 12:00pm ABC/ESPN2 (RM

Khalil Tate and Kevin Sumlin might just be a match made in hell. Ed Oliver has personally humiliated some great dual-threat QBs in the past but I don’t know if Tate is actually a threat through the air. Not sure what that means for the all-important stats.

Duke at Northwestern 12:00pm ESPNU

Northwestern sucks. I’ll still root for them but they’re not good.

Eastern Michigan at Purdue 12:00pm BTN

The nation’s leader in all-purpose yards at home against EMU? Hell yes.

Georgia Tech at USF 12:00pm ABC/ESPN2 (RM)

I almost made a national champions joke but USF and UCF are actually different schools. Not by much, mind you. Based on one week against stiffs I have the impression this is a good year for the Ramblin’ Wreck.

Liberty at Army 12:00pm CBSSN

Army doesn’t even play a cool version of the option. This game is a pox.

Mississippi State at Kansas State 12:00pm ESPN

A bunch of guys who will play in the NFL next year are playing against each other for teams that will combine to lose 10+ games this year. This is a headache in a bag. I think I’d take KState +8 and the over of 54.5.

Nevada at Vanderbilt 12:00pm SECN

Oddly enough, I’d be totally into this one if Vandy were flying West for a 10pm kickoff. This version looks terrible, though.

New Mexico at Wisconsin 12:00pm BTN

Can’t wait for Hornibrook to end up getting a Heisman invite. He’s Wisconsin’s answer to Gino Torretta.

Towson at Wake Forest 12:00pm ACCNExtra

I’ve always thought of it as “Nextra” but then I saw it written as ACCNE and now there’s no going back.

Western Michigan at Michigan 12:00pm FS1

I know I’m stupid and crazy but I haven’t sold all of my Harbaugh stock just yet. I’ve heard about how he’s not a college coach and he’ll be back in the NFL next year but I can’t shake the feeling that he can still get things to click with just a little more time.

Georgia State at NC State 12:30pm RSN

NC State lost a ton of talent to the pros this year and the next in line from QBU isn’t really as great as his offseason draft hype. Georgia State is absolutely going to beat the spread.

Holy Cross at Boston College 1:00pm ACCNExtra

Somehow this battle for Boston reminded me of somebody explaining in excruciating detail about how BC isn’t in Boston and it just makes me hate that place and its people all over again.

UCLA at Oklahoma 1:00pm FOX

UCLA generally doesn’t do very well in early games and Oklahoma’s talent level is very obviously higher than the Bruins at every position. I don’t know what point to make here. Hopefully Rodney Anderson gets more than 5 carries this week but he might not need to.

Air Force at Florida Atlantic 2:00pm CBSSN / Facebook

FAU got murdered by Oklahoma last week so I’m a little bit intrigued by how Lane bounces back. Vegas really likes the Owls but I’m not really sure why.

Portland State at Oregon 2:00pm Pac-12N

This is some high quality trash. I won’t watch it due to dumb circumstances but I’d enjoy it if I could.

William & Mary at Virginia Tech 2:00pm ACCNExtra

The Hokies looked pretty good against FSU. I forgot all about Josh Jackson since he missed the 2017 season but I think he’s a pretty good college QB.

Kansas at Central Michigan 3:00pm ESPN Plus

What can you say about Kansas football without laughing maniacally?

Arkansas State at Alabama 3:30pm ESPN2

Red Wolves vs. Crimson Tide should be some sort of rivalry. Bama looks every bit as good as expected so this will probably be a bloodbath. In red.

Ball State at Notre Dame 3:30pm NBC

Notre Dame gets to walk around like a top 10 team for now but a 7-point win over Michigan at home in a game that felt like a blowout doesn’t strike me as a springboard to a CFB Playoff berth. Brian Kelly is still a shitty murderer so fuck him.

Buffalo at Temple 3:30pm ESPN3

Tyree Jackson threw 6 TDs last week while Temple was losing to Villanova. The result? Temple is favored by 5. That seems wrong. Are there really people betting their hearts in what looks like a classic degenerate’s matchup?

Colorado at Nebraska 3:30pm ABC

Big 8 rivals square off in the first game (probably!) of the Scott Frost era. Smart money is probably on Colorado.

Georgia at South Carolina 3:30pm CBS

If Coach Boom is going to make the most of his great roster he needs to spring the upset here. That doesn’t seem crazy to me so look for UGA to win by 40.

Howard at Kent State 3:30pm ESPN Plus

A bunch of 1-AA teams are in the watch ‘em ups for a second time this week but Howard is closest to my heart. Love the Bison to trample the Gun Girls.

Memphis at Navy 3:30pm CBSSN

This is the only game most years where I cheer against Memphis. I don’t have a great feeling about this Navy team, though, so my advice for you who are wondering is to put the mansion on Memphis to win by more than 6 and for the over to hit some time in the third quarter.

Morgan State at Akron 3:30pm ESPN Plus

I’ll leave this one to Soused.

North Carolina at East Carolina 3:30pm ESPNU

This game was in the maybe watch column on SB Nation’s grid this week and I can’t comprehend why this is anything but AVOID!!!!! even if they don’t offer that designation.

Rutgers at Ohio State 3:30pm BTN

Ohio State is out here with a boatload of talent and a scheme that mostly runs itself in games like this. I wish all bad things on the Ohio State football program but they have some really great players that I don’t hate.

Wagner at Syracuse 3:30pm ACCNExtra

Eric Dungey’s quest for a rushing title continues.

ETSU at Tennessee 4:00pm SECN

Without looking I think Tennessee is probably favored. By too much.

Lamar at Texas Tech 4:00pm FSN / FSGo

I make jokes about Lamar being just some dude every year and it’s dumb but I can’t look at Lamar and not think it’s just some dude instead of a team.

Southern Illinois at University of Mississippi 4:00pm SECNA

What’s up with fixing the mascot name but not the other super racist allusion in your sports programs? Progress of some sort, I guess. This is a body bag game of the lowest caliber.

Iowa State at Iowa 5:00pm FOX

Potentially cool game at college football’s most heartwarming stadium. Nothing here not to love.

North Dakota at Washington 5:00pm Pac-12N

Is this the same school that Carson Wentz went to? I’m not looking it up. A lot of you were all in on Auburn trashing UDub last week but that didn’t actually happen. Washington could still win 12 straight and end up back in playoff contention, even without their star LT.

Appalachian State at Charlotte 6:00pm ESPN Plus

Wild to think this is 1-A on 1-A.

Maryland at Bowling Green 6:00pm ESPN Plus

It was funny to see Texas lose and all but let’s all remember to hate the fuck out of Maryland’s coaches and program from here to eternity.

Savannah State at Miami (FL) 6:00pm ACCNExtra

There is no reason for most people to give a shit about this game but I’m interested to see if the freshman QBs are really bad or if Mark Richt is just being way too conservative with his roster by starting Malik Rosier. My gut says nobody is worse for this team than Rosier. I know Ahmmon Richards, for one, agrees with me.

SC State at UCF 6:00pm ESPN3

Here’s the national champs. Not gonna lose the winning streak here.

UMass at Georgia Southern 6:00pm ESPN Plus

Now we’re getting into some good degeneracy. There are too many other games at this same time to really dive into this shitfest but it’s real as hell to me.

Youngstown State at West Virginia 6:00pm ATTSN

I was looking at games on CBS Sports and they didn’t have a channel listed for this game. ATTSN = AT&T Sports Network, guessing a DirecTV exclusive? I love Holgo even if I kinda hate the Air Raid.

Eastern Kentucky at Marshall 6:30pm ESPN Plus

Here’s another great backup game. I don’t know if anybody good is on either team this year.

Baylor at UTSA 7:00pm CBSSN / Facebook

Ugh. Fucking Baylor. Go the fuck away forever, Baylor.

Clemson at Texas A&M 7:00pm ESPN

Until about 5 years ago Clemson and aTm were actually the same program. Now Clemson is a legit 5-star program and I fucking hate it. Not enough to root for the Aggies, mind you. Talent watching is pretty good in this one but the idea of Jimbo Fisher falling flat on his face in Aggieland is too good not to dream about.

Florida A&M at Troy 7:00pm ESPN Plus

Let’s go Rattlers!

Indiana State at Louisville 7:00pm ACCNExtra

Petrino might be on the verge of sunsetting unless he flukes his way into another megastar. Louisville looks like the most ACC of ACC teams right now even though they have no business being in the conference. This should be an AAC team all the way.

Southeastern La. at LSU 7:00pm ESPN2

I want to whisper to all of you that LSU really isn’t all that good but I’m typing and you’re maybe reading it instead.

Southern at LA Tech 7:00pm ESPN Plus

Louisiana Tech is one of my pet stupid programs. I always think they’re one random star recruit away from becoming the next offense lab in college football. This probably isn’t the year, though.

Texas Southern at Texas State 7:00pm KNVA/ESPN3

If anybody has more than a gambling interest in this one I am dying to hear about it. Seriously. Explain yourself.

UAB at Coastal Carolina 7:00pm ESPN Plus

Last week I insulted UAB’s football program and they went out and won 52-0, their first shutout victory in 10 years. So let me continue my campaign for them to drop the program again.

ULM at Southern Miss 7:00pm ESPN3

I don’t think I realized until right now that CUSA is the surviving shell of the old Metro Conference. I thought the Metro just died. Anyway, CUSA football is MACtion for degenerates. Meaning that I like it. This game got a shoutout on the NFL’s season opener so maybe it will draw an audience in the hundreds.

UT Martin at Middle Tennessee 7:00pm ESPN Plus

The Tee Martins are back! How does it feel to play football your whole life and go to college for football and then realize that you’re playing for the team that’s being paid to lay down to Middle Tennessee State? Not even like Wake Forest or somebody like that - worse! It still sounds kind of fun but embarrassing at the same time.

Wyoming at Missouri 7:00pm ESPNU

Drew Lock has some similar physical traits to Wyoming’s QB from last year but I think he’s gotten better coaching. Similar arm talent(!!!) at least. I don’t know about the raw athleticism which, no shit, Josh Allen has tons of. Anyway, Missouri should stomp all over Wyoming.

Samford at Florida State 7:20pm ACCNExtra

The Bobby Bowden Bowl! The immediate reactions to Willie Taggert at FSU were loud and angry but he needs some time to sort through the weird mess that the team devolved into last year. I don’t think he can keep running the offense he had at USF with this roster, though, and he needs to figure that out quickly.

Alabama State at Auburn 7:30pm SECNA

The Littlest Iron Bowl! Auburn is another team that didn’t look great to me in week 1. And they don’t have any obvious path to the playoffs.

Arkansas at Colorado State 7:30pm CBSSN

This might be the farthest an SEC team has traveled for a regular season game this century.

FIU at Old Dominion 7:30pm beIN SPORTS

Keep the faith in Butch Davis. It’ll turn out pretty well in the end. I think.

Fresno State at Minnesota 7:30pm FS1

I think CSU-Fresno had the highest point total in the country in week 1 but it came against 1-AA Idaho State. Yeah, I just wanted to drop a mention to Idaho State as a (once again) 1-AA team. This game is probably trash but it has the decency to be a dumb night game that nobody will notice unless it gets wild.

Incarnate Word at North Texas 7:30pm ESPN Plus

This is truly bottom of the barrel stuff but UNT does have the nation’s leader in passing yards per game!

Kentucky at Florida 7:30pm SECN

UF is really heavily favored to win their 32nd straight against Kentucky but why? The line is only 14 but odds are weighted like 88% for the Gators to win. Kentucky sucks but doesn’t Florida?

Maine at WKU 7:30pm ESPN Plus

A lot of oddball evening games this week. I like it.

Utah at NIU 7:30pm ESPNews

Northern Illinois got blown out by Iowa last week. Utah looked like hell for the first 30 minutes against Weber State. I don’t have a point. Utah will probably win by 20.

Virginia at Indiana 7:30pm BTN

UVA and IU are more similar than dissimilar historically speaking. This game makes me annoyed just knowing that it’s going to happen and that it’s on Big Ten Network. Get your shit together, Hoos.

Western Illinois at Illinois 7:30pm BTN

It would be so Lovie Smith to lose this game.

Cincinnati at Miami (Ohio) 8:00pm Raycom / ESPN3

I agree with what Ohio State fans were saying a few years back: Luke Fickell sucks.

New Mexico State at Utah State 8:00pm Facebook

Facebook? For this one? Boo hiss. This is prime gambling athletics, nobody should be tracking you as you watch this one.

Nicholls at Tulane 8:00pm ESPN3

Nicholls! The Nicholls Nickels! Tulane doesn’t get a lot of easy wins but I think we can all agree with some bit of confidence that Tulane may suck loudly but they’re still better than Kansas.

Penn State at Pitt 8:00pm ABC

I have an unhealthy and unrealistic need for Pitt to win this game.

Sacramento State at San Diego State 8:00pm No TV (!!!)

What in the goddamn fucking hell is SDSU doing with no TV coverage in 2018? Christ almighty. This is hilarious.

South Alabama at Oklahoma State 8:00pm FSN

I wish South Alabama was good enough to at least put the fear of god in Okie State but they really aren’t. Expect a typical early season massacre from the Cowboys.

Southern Utah at Oregon State 8:00pm Pac-12N

What the hell is this?

Tulsa at Texas 8:00pm LHN

Tulsa only beat Central Arkansas by 11 last week but Texas lost to Maryland. 23 points might be too much to expect for the Longhorns at this juncture.

USC at Stanford 8:30pm FOX

The Pac-12 is known for two things: bad scheduling and bad referees. Also, bad defenses so that makes three things. This is bad scheduling. Why is the most marketable game of your whole conference year happening in week 2 at 8:30pm EST? This is absolutely moronic.

UTEP at UNLV 9:00pm ATTSN

Ever since it popped into my head last year or the year before I just can’t get over UNLV being confederate-themed. What the hell is that?

California at BYU 10:15pm ESPN2

This is actually beautiful scheduling which makes me think BYU came up with it themselves. Great uniform matchup even if both teams stink.

UConn at Boise State 10:15pm ESPN2/ESPNU

Haha, UConn. What are you doing? How did this program actually make it to major bowl game in the last 10 years? They’re 31-point underdogs playing past their bedtimes against an OK-at-best Boise State team. This somehow feels earned.

Michigan State at Arizona State 10:45pm ESPN

Really not sure how Sparty agreed to this one but if I have one strong conviction from week 1 it’s that Herm Edwards should have stayed a TV talking head and left the coaching game to everybody else.

San Jose State at Washington State 11:00pm Pac-12N

Very fine watchin’ ‘em up here. You have to catch them all.

Rice at Hawai’i 11:59pm Spectrum

Spectrum is a station? Spectrum is a cable company. Anyway, Rice played Ed Oliver last week and now they have to face early RTARLsman frontrunner Cole McDonald. I’m cautiously bandwagoning for Hawai’i.
