maximum sunflowers

These sunflowers (Helianthus maxilimianus) are flowering in the garden now, with hundreds of flower heads on each stem. They are taller than me, and fill the garden bed with yellow sunshine, even when the sky is cloudy. And they are perennial, they come back year after year, as long as you fence them in so the deers don't get to them. Send me a note if you want seeds.

t!m's Tag for July!

Hey buds!!! Just wanted to share the tag I created for July! You can find t!m's version here. I had a blast with this one! My main ingredient is distress stains! I used Fired brick, broken china and the infamous white picket fence. I found this really fun and cool technique on the web, sorry I can't remember where. Prime your distress stain, then pounce it on your project and you get this so cool splatter effect!! You have to be careful though because if you pounce to hard the stain will! I got a little carried away and got a couple of spots on my wall:( When I learn how to remove it I will let ya know...hehe. So, on with the tag! I stamped the umbrella man with distress embossing ink then covered it with distressed black soot. I kind of like how some of him is missing(poor guy). You can see all the stamps I used are from t! his stamps:))) The little clip is from Basic Grey. I took some alcohol ink to color it a distressed look.
Well, thanks so much for peeking! Have a great weekend all!

Donald Trump Gives Liberal Idiot Katy Perry BAD NEWS

A liberal Pop Star Katy Perry has had an epic fall from grace in the past year. During that time, she has gone from a pro-Clinton campaigner with millions of fans, to a mentally unstable shell of her former self.

Like any other liberal snowflake, Katy Perry now blames Donald Trump for her downfall.

A couple of months ago, Perry publicly spoke that Trump caused her “trauma” by winning the election.

“I was really disheartened for a while; it just brought up a lot of trauma for me,” Perry opened up about how she felt about Trump’s win. “Misogyny and sexism were in my childhood: I have an issue with suppressive males and not being seen as equal. I felt like a little kid again being faced with a scary, controlling guy.”

But most recently, Katy Perry went even deeper with her whining about Trump when she livestreamed a therapy session with Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh, star of the Therapist.

During the livestream session, Perry came completely unhinged and explained why she chose to cut off all her hair after the election.

“I didn’t want to look like Katy Perry anymore,” Katy Perry explained in tears.

Well, I’ve had enough. Katy Perry is a classic example of a Hollywood liberal snowflake that has lost touch with the real Americans.

Hey Katy, you need to grow up and stop with your nonsense. All of the Hollywood liberals must stop with this nonsense and accept the fact that Trump is our President.

OXFAM warns of poor rain season in West Africa

OXFAM is issuing an alert on a failed rainy season in West Africa. The humanitarian aid organization says that spotty rainfall during 2009 could lead to a severe food shortage. The worst hit area will be Niger where 8 million people could go hungry. OXFAM is issuing the alert now so that aid can begin to be brought into the area before the food shortages become severe.

From the OXFAM press release, we read more about the alert.

Almost 10 million people across the Sahel region of West Africa are threatened with a severe food shortage, international aid agency Oxfam said today. The worst affected country is Niger where 8 million people are at risk. Some 2 million people are threatened in Chad and a substantial number of people are expected to be affected in Mali in the coming months. Parts of Nigeria and Burkina Faso are also at risk.

The agency called upon developed countries to respond urgently to the early warning of impending disaster, citing delays during the Niger food crisis in 2005 that unnecessarily cost lives.

“We are witnessing an unfolding disaster which can be averted if the world acts swiftly. Five years ago the world ignored the warning signs from Niger, failed to act rapidly and lives were lost. The international community cannot make the same mistake and again condemn many children to an early death,” said Mamadou Biteye Oxfam’s West Africa Regional Director.

Irregular rains in 2009 have led to a severe lack of pasture, water and a poor harvest. In Niger, the harvest has fallen by 26 percent as compared with the previous year, and some areas, especially the Diffa in the east of country and Tillabéry to the west, have had no harvest at all. In Chad, harvests have fallen by 34 percent. The areas of Hadjer Lamis, Batha, Kanem, Guera regions and eastern Chad are expected to be hit hard, especially from June 2010. Overall, the harvest in the Sahel has decreased by 9 percent with great disparities between East and West Sahel.

Prices of cereals are high and increasing. Millet and sorghum prices are up to respectively 25 and 50 percent higher than a year ago in Niger. Rains are not expected until June and prices are expected to increase until the next harvest in September without a substantial aid effort.

Pastoralists are especially vulnerable as they depend on animals for their food and income. “With not enough fodder, herders are desperate to sell their animals, driving livestock prices lower and lower,” explains Hassane Baka, a representative of Oxfam’s partner AREN in Niger. “This means that for each animal sold on the market, pastoralists get less cereal with which to feed their families.”

Oxfam called on donors to respond to the government of Niger’s request for international humanitarian assistance. While the authorities have some food reserves, these are currently not sufficient. Up to $123 million was requested to fund the national response plan. The agency also called on donors to address increasing needs in Chad and Mali.

Oxfam also called on all countries in the region to keep their borders open. In 2005, the situation was made worse when neighboring countries closed their borders with Niger. This limited the availability of food and increased inflation. The agency also stressed the need for good coordination between governments, UN agencies, and local and international NGOs to ensure efficient aid delivery.

New Pre-Raphaelite Drama Planned:

A new drama about the Pre-Raphaelties for BBC Two (article link).  Hopefully it will make its way across the pond.  Fingers crossed!

Via BBC News:  “The BBC says the six-part series will show the men striving to find fame, fortune and “quite a bit of sex along the way”.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood formed in 1848 as a reaction to what they saw as the historical painting of the Royal Academy.

Executive producer Kate Harwood said: “Desperate Romantics paints a modern, vivid and irreverent portrait of this group of painters whose attitude to the establishment makes them comparable to the punks a hundred years later.”

A BBC spokeswoman said the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were like “the boy band of the 19th century”.”

6 thoughts on “New Pre-Raphaelite Drama Planned:

  1. Sounds exciting! I’m not surprised, though. The Pre-Raphaelites have definitely come back in fashion–and with their wild lives, they make perfect candidates for a tv drama.

  2. So pleased you sent me this link to the advert about the series in Broadcast. I am the writer of POSSESSED the new musical play about the second wave of the PRB. I spoke to the producers of of Desperate Romantics this morning.

  3. After having just given a lecture about the second wave of the PRB to students from EMORY UNIVERSITY, Atlanta, at University College Oxford I am certain there is mileage in this story in the States. I only hope that the series will be helpful for my new musical POSSESSED, which covers the next wave of the PRB.

  4. Thank you for highlighting this news Stephanie. A few years ago there was something similar shown in the UK based on the French Impressionists that was really good.
    I’m a bit worried about the PRB being compared to a boy band though………………..I think they were a bit more than that……………think they left a bit more of a legacy………….nothing against boy bands lol.

  5. Paul,
    The boy band comment bothered me as well. Because usually, boy bands seem to be packaged. They are marketed and represent the formulaic approach that the PRB rebelled against.

    How exciting that you were able to speak with the producers! Anything you can share?

  6. The producers said that the series only covers the creation of the PRB – the first year. This was good news for me because it does not encroach on the William Morris and Janey story. Morris won’t be in it at all. I was desperately worried that it would completely blow it for us – but no. They also told me that all the episodes have been written by one person – which is very unusual – Peter Bowker. Usually a TV drama series is written by a number of people. It is being shot in the new year and will be out either late 2009 or early 2010. The rest of the conversation was just schmoozing! They asked me to email them and looked at my website but I haven’t heard anything back.

Jewish Oligarch Boris Berezovsky Death 'Unexplained'

LONDON — Chemical and radiation experts found no hazardous materials in their search of the property where Boris Berezovsky's body was found, as British police on Sunday investigated the unexplained death of the self-exiled Russian tycoon who went from Kremlin kingmaker to fiery critic.

Berezovsky, who fled to Britain in the early 200s after a bitter falling out with Russian President Vladimir Putin, was found dead Saturday at the property in Ascot, a town 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of London. He was 67, and Thames Valley police say his death is being treated as "unexplained."

Police said Sunday that officers specially trained in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials have given the scene the "all clear."

"Officers found nothing of concern in the property and we are now progressing the investigation as normal," a statement from police said, adding that the majority of the cordon put in place around the property has now been lifted.

Berezovsky – who had survived a number of assassination attempts – amassed a fortune through oil and automobiles during Russia's chaotic privatization of state assets following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.

Once a member of Russian President Boris Yeltsin's inner circle, Berezovsky fell out with Yeltsin's successor, Putin, and fled Britain in the early 2000s to escape fraud charges that he said were politically motivated.

He became a strident and frequent critic of Putin, accusing the leader of ushering in a dictatorship, and accused the security services of organizing the 1999 apartment house bombings in Moscow and two other Russian cities that became a pretext for Russian troops to sweep into Chechnya for the second war there in half a decade.

Putin's spokesman acknowledged Sunday that the Russian president considered Berezovsky an enemy with clearly stated intentions to fight.

"We know for certain that he spared no expense in support of processes, within Russia and beyond, that could be said to have been directed against Russia and Putin," spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the independent cable television channel Rain. "He definitely was Putin's opponent, and unfortunately not only his political opponent, but most likely in other dimensions as well."

In recent years, Berezovsky fended off legal attacks that often bore political undertones – and others that bit into his fortune.

Russia repeatedly sought to extradite on Berezovksy on a wide variety of criminal charges, and the tycoon vehemently rejected allegations over the years that he was linked to several deaths, including that of slain journalist Anna Politkovskaya and ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko.

Berezovsky won a libel case in 2010 against a Kremlin-owned broadcaster that aired a show in which it was suggested he was behind the poisoning of Litvinenko, who had fled Russia with Berezovsky's help after accusing officials there of plotting to assassinate political opponents.

He took a hit with his divorce from Galina Besharova in 2010, paying what was at the time Britain's largest divorce settlement. The figure beat a previous record of 48 million pounds ($73.1) and was estimated as high as 100 million pounds, though the exact figure was never confirmed.

Last year, Berezovsky lost a multibillion-pound High Court case against fellow Russian Roman Abramovich and was ordered to pay 35 million pounds ($53.3 million) in legal costs.

Berezovsky had claimed that Abramovich, the billionaire owner of Chelsea Football Club, cheated him out of his stakes in the oil group Sibneft, arguing that he blackmailed him into selling the stakes vastly beneath their true worth after he lost Putin's good graces.

But a judge threw out the case in August, ruling that Berezovsky was a dishonest and unreliable witness, and rejected Berezovsky's claims that he was threatened by Putin and Alexander Voloshin, a Putin ally, to coerce him to sell his Sibneft stake.

It also recently emerged that Berezovsky ran up legal bills totaling more than 250,000 pounds in just two months of a case against his former partner, Elena Gorbunova, with whom he had two children and who claimed the businessman owed her millions.

Earlier this week, The Times of London newspaper reported that Berezovsky was selling property – including an Andy Warhol portrait of the former Soviet Union leader Vladimir Lenin – to settle his debts and pay expenses owed to lawyers.

News of Berezovsky's death has prompted conspiracy theories along with speculation as to his state of mind, given his recent financial setbacks.

Ilya Zhegulev, a journalist with the Russian edition of Forbes magazine, said he spoke with Berezovsky the day before he died and discussed the tycoon's decision to flee Russia in 2000.

The journalist quoted Berezovsky as saying that during his years in London he had lost the meaning of life.

"I no longer want to be involved in politics," Zhegulev quoted Berezovsky as saying in a story published Saturday on the website.

He said Berezovsky told him that he wanted nothing more than to return to Russia. The former oligarch said he had changed his views on Russia, saying he now understood that it should not look to Europe as a model.

"I had absolutely, idealistically imagined that it was possible to build a democratic Russia. And idealistically imagined what democracy was in the center of Europe. I underestimated the inertia of Russia and greatly overestimated the West. This took place gradually. I changed my understanding of Russia's path," he quoted Berezovsky as having said.

Greek Stocks continue to slide lower ahead of elections

 With low volume and clear absence of buyers, the market is sliding every day lower. FTASE 20 is moving towards our lower yellow channel line. If the upper resistance is broken then something can be expected in the future. Until then I remain neutral and would only make intraday trades biased to the downside, specially when the market opens higher.

The General Index broke the green triangle and as long as it remains below 700, it is biased lower. Breaking the upper green line would be an initial bullish sign. Maybe after the elections.

Examples of Profusion Art

On the left, in the picture below, are squares of patterns used to create the piece of art on the right. The theme is "Love."

"Love"  by Marie Scott

            These "Specialized Patterns" below,  along with the "Basic Patterns and Textures shown in the picture after this one, are used to create the finished piece of Profusion Art, "Clean."

Specialized Patterns
Basic Patterns and Textures

         Shown below is the finished piece of Profusion Art--"Clean," on a theme as you can see. By using the Profusion Art squares with words, the picture actually captures a fun feeling of cleaning or being clean. One of the strengths of Profusion Art is it's ability to address a topic and have MEANING. It uses both the words of the left brain in combination with the art of the right brain. The impact of the message can be powerful.
"Clean"   by Marie Scott

         Other examples of practical uses for Profusion Art are shown in the pictures below. Notice the captions under the pictures.

Artwork done for one born in the Chinese year of the dragon.
        These last two gold-lettered names are surrounded by the favorite things these people (children) love. Carter loves camping, sports, Sponge Bob, and  dancing to his favorite artist's music. Andrew loves sports and technology.

        As you can see, this type of artwork may be used to make special gifts or heirlooms for friends, family, and co-workers. There is no limit on what or how it may be used. Above all, it's so fun, healing, and addicting!

Woes of a Programmer

Recently, we completed a Windows Application and started running it. This is application was written using Framework 3.5. Strange thing is it runs on several machines but not on two of them - we tried on 8 machines total. Of this 5 of them were identical in every way - Windows, patches etc. Whenever, we run this, it will crash - but only the portion that enables multi threading.

This reminds me of a similar problem I had several years back when I tried using Harvard Graphics on a Acer desktop where the graphics was really bad but not on other machines.

Another incident I experienced more than 15 years ago when we were using MS DOS. I wrote a Clipper program for my office. It copied into two identical machines. Again, it ran on one but not on the other.

I guess I was lucky to encounter all these. We can't blame the programming or the programmer. I wonder whether there are some minor bugs in the processor. Hmmm! This is probably the worst thing that can happen to a programmer. You write your program and tested everything but it does not work on the machine it was meant for.

We manage to fix those two computers by Ghosting the image from one of the working units. But still cannot figure out the cause.

The low down.

The facebook feed back has been overwhelmingly good since I sent invites to all my friends but with this comes a few concerns. I think it is awesome that many people that I already know would want to spend the day with me and I know that those experiences will be amazing. However, I want this project to be not just about friends I am acquainted with, and I think the first stipulation is going to have to be that if I have previously spent an entire day with you I am not going to set up a B.F.F.A.D. with you for now... On that note I think I have my first bffad sometime next week and am really excited about it. This is with someone I already know but have never spent more than an hour talking with her. She seemed excited by the project and that is inspiring to me! I hope this makes things a little more clear for anyone interested in being B.F.F.A.D.

Monaco Residency

Residency in Monaco brings several advantages:

  • Favourable tax system for Monaco Locals
  • Stay in Secure environment
  • Exceptional location with Nice International airport 30 minutes by car/10 minutes by helicopter
  • Mediterranean Climate
  • International environment
  • Company friendly
  • English commonly spoken
  • The Cote d'Azur and Italy on the doorstep

Ways to obtain Monaco Residency

To get Monaco Residency there are particular requirements for each candidate to satisfy. The requirements for getting residency in Monaco are as follows:

  1. Establish a savings account in Monaco
  2. Each applicant (or couple) will have to deposit adequate funds for the bank to then release the needed bank attestation (letter) to confirm that the account holder(s) has enough funds to support themselves whilst residing in Monaco.( unless the candidate for residency has a legitimate work agreement provided by a regional Monaco company). The banks have differing requirements for this ranging from EUR 100,000-EUR 1 million per applicant (adult).
  3. An ever-increasing number of people are discovering the advantages of taking residence in the cosmopolitan Principality of Monaco on the C�te d�Azur, in the heart of modern Europe. You will find a lot more details regarding relocating to Monaco and search terms such as 'monaco residency requirements' on the Relocation Monaco website.

    Rent or buy a property in Monaco

    If leasing the lease must be for a minimum of Twelve Month and have enough bedrooms to accommodate the variety of individuals using. For instance, in order for this to get Monaco residency, a couple must lease a one bed room home a minimum of and for a household of four a minimum if two bed rooms. This lease is usually automatically at the end of each lease period.

    Security check

    Each candidate has to supply a police certificate specifying that each adult applicant does not hold a criminal record in the country where they have resided throughout the previous 5 years. In Monaco an grownup is any one over the age of sixteen years of age for this purpose. This certificate ought to not be more than 3 months old at the time of application for the residency.

    In addition, the following files need to be submitted for each candidate when getting Monaco residency.

    1. Legitimate passport
    2. Birth certificate
    3. Marriage certificate(s)
    4. Any previous divorce certificate (or death certificate if the candidate has a spouse who is deceased.)
    5. The Police certificate as above
    6. The registered lease for the Monaco apartment or condo
    7. The new electrical energy contract for the Monaco house
    8. The official Monaco residency application forms completed and properly signed
    9. Health report for candidates of 70 years and over

    To finish the Monaco residency process, an official residency interview will be arranged throughout which all the required documents are sent. Following this the Monaco residency application will be processed and licensed. This will take roughly 8 weeks for EU passport holders and sixteen - twenty weeks for non EU passport holders as they should initially get a unique Visa from the French Embassy in their country of residence which once approved and issued (up to sixteen weeks) will certainly then permit the candidate to finish the Monaco formalities within three-four weeks, when the residency card will certainly be provided also known as the Carte de Sejour).

    The requirements for making an application for Monaco residency are reasonably straightforward and as long as the candidate can offer all of the needed documents, then there is no general reason that the candidate should not be given Monaco Residency and get theirs Monaco local's card.

    The very first Monaco residency card will be released for a period of twelve months after which this card must be renewed. The card is called a Monaco carte de resident temporaire and is renewed each year for the first three years. In then fourth year of continuous Monaco residency the holder then will certainly be issued with a three year card, called the Monaco Carte de resident ordinaire. These cards are valid for three years and need to be renewed at expiry. In year ten, the holder of a Monaco residency might obtain a carte Privilege which is provided at the discretion of the Monaco authorities. This is not immediately provided and if not granted the applicant will remain to get the three year Monaco citizen's card.

    The cost of obtaining residency in Monaco actually depends on the cost of leasing an home contributed to the basic cost of living in Monaco. Unlike other countries providing residency programs, getting residency in Monaco does not require the applicant to "invest" a defined sum of money in Monaco nor is it required to buy a property as a leasing suffices.

    It is a really favourable place to become a local and enjoy the many benefits which becoming a resident of Monaco allows.

Are We Underestimating Sarah Palin?

Following up on Tim's post below, I've been wrestling with the idea that we liberals might be underestimating Sarah Palin. It's not that, like David Broder or Joe Klein, I see political genius at work in her recent activities. And if the latest Washington Post poll is accurate, she's not too popular -- her favorability rating stands at 37 percent, her lowest ever, with only 26 percent saying she's qualified to be president.

Palin brings out strong feelings in people, for a lot of reasons. As a candidate building her brand on resentment of elites, she practices a very personal politics. "I do want to be a voice for some common-sense solutions. I'm never going to pretend like I know more than the next person. I'm not going to pretend to be an elitist. In fact, I'm going to fight the elitist because for too often and for too long now, I think the elitists have tried to make people like me and people in the heartland of America, feel like we just don't get it and big government is just going to have to take care of us," she told Chris Wallace of Fox News.

You'll notice that this is all about "people like me and people in the heartland of America," and how elitists make them feel. When Palin talks this way, it becomes plain to lots of people -- actually, to a majority of Americans -- that she's not talking to them. If you live in a city, you're not one of her people. If you're not Christian, you're not one of her people. If you value knowledge and reason, and cringe when a politician who would be president says that the way we should approach complex problems is to "start seeking some divine intervention again in this country, so that we can be safe and secure and prosperous again," and if you think it might actually be a good thing for the president to "know more than the next person," then you're not one of her people.

In answer to the contempt that Palin believes has been heaped on her by the "elitists," she heaps contempt right back. And when you're the target of that kind of contempt, it's always difficult to come to an objective assessment about the person proclaiming so loudly that you're not one of the "real Americans." The temptation to say, "People can't possibly be buying this drivel, can they?" is very strong. We want to believe that our fellow citizens look on with incredulity at someone who not only writes notes on her hand like a junior high school student when she's speaking at an event where she knows she will be photographed by hundreds of cameras, but who needs notes to remind her to talk about tax cuts in the first place (she's a Republican, for god's sake -- they think tax cuts are the solution to post-nasal drip!). We want to believe that our fellow citizens will understand that if you can't manage to serve out a single term as governor of Alaska, you probably shouldn't be president. We want to believe it so badly that it might be hard to make a clear-eyed assessment of her chances in a presidential race.

When any of us make predictions about the political future, we end up picking and choosing the data points and logical arguments that seem to make sense, which are almost inevitably filtered through our biases and hopes. But what can we say about Palin at the moment? One might argue that, like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush before her, Palin's utter ignorance when it comes to matters of government masks the shrewd political strategist underneath. But the truth is that Reagan actually knew quite a bit about policy. When he spoke in simplistic terms, it wasn't because he didn't know what he was talking about, it was because he understood what kind of rhetoric was effective. As for Bush, he was indeed ignorant of matters of government, but few observers who had watched him doubted his political skills. He also knew what he didn't know, and was secure enough to surround himself with people who could compensate for his weaknesses.

Palin was certainly a disaster as a vice-presidential candidate. Once the glow of a couple of good speeches wore off, it became apparent that her fan base was fervid but finite, just as it is today. We shouldn't mistake the intensity of her support for the idea that that support is wide. As the Post poll makes clear, most Americans -- like the 71 percent who said she's not qualified to be president -- aren't on her bandwagon. We don't know yet if she would be able to put together an effective campaign, but given her past, a Palin campaign would be more likely to be an alarming gaffe-filled train wreck (albeit an enormously entertaining one).

As we head toward 2012, it would probably be best to subject any strong feelings we have about her to careful examination, whether the fear that people will eat up her pabulum, or the conviction that she can't possibly be appealing to any but a small, bitter portion of the electorate. That Palin is not the sharpest tool in the shed is clear. Her supporters see that as a strength, not a weakness ("She's one of us!"), but whether she could get a majority of the public to agree remains an open question.

Should you be using private proxies with your Facebook Accounts?

June 25, 2016

download (43)

This is a typical inquiry we get for just about everyone that is utilizing Mass Planner with more than one record. Should we utilize private proxies? There is no basic answer so we chose to make a little post about this disclosing to everyone how things work and whether you ought to or ought not to utilize private proxies.

The short reply
It relies on upon what you do with those records and how old they are. Consider this, individuals working in an office building they all utilization their Facebook accounts from the same IP, several them however none of those records gets hindered by Facebook, such a large number of records being on the same ip isn’t as a matter of course an awful thing. The thing about those workers is that they don’t generally have whatever else in like manner, aside from a couple of them being companions with a couple others they don’t have the same interest and use designs on Facebook, the all do distinctive stuff.
The not all that long reply
From our experience everything relies on upon the use design, so above all else, you ought to keep them thoroughly particular, preferably not associate with each other particularly in the event that they’re all new. Despite the fact that this is entirely interesting as one may expect that few records from the same ip are individuals in a family unit that obviously would associate with each other. Additionally recall to make them look as human as could be expected under the circumstances, this incorporates presenting on your divider now and again, loving stuff on your divider, jabbing companions, remarking on stuff from your divider, asking for another companion every so often etc.
In the event that you need to be proficient yes, utilizing proxies of Proxiesforrent is an extraordinary thought. It will add somewhat more to your month to month costs yet you can have every record on its different intermediary and they will be a considerable measure more secure that is without a doubt.
What about going with free proxies?
NO, this is certainly a BIG NO, don’t do it, never. Either go for Private proxies or don’t utilize proxies by any stretch of the imagination. Free proxies will work for several hours, up to a couple days in case you’re fortunate, however a considerable measure of other individuals may utilize the same intermediary for who realizes what, likewise it will imply that you will change the IP for your record frequently and Facebook will rapidly make you check that record in the event that you do that. They’ve turned into significantly more distrustful of late about this sort of stuff.

Notable NCAA tourney bets across Las Vegas

REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni

In recent years, officials at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas had to begin roping off the sportsbook at 3 a.m. on the Wednesday night before the first two full days of the NCAA tournament, after want ads were posted online offering to pay people to save seats overnight. Adult diapers were reportedly used.

March Madness, indeed.

This week, the sportsbook at the Mirage will open at 5:30 a.m. PT, Thursday and Friday. And there will be a line to get in.

In the meantime, follow along as ESPN Chalk covers all the action -- big, small, sharp or square -- with our updating NCAA tournament betting report.

Thursday's results

• Among the winning bets at William Hill on Thursday were two large money-line wagers on No. 1 seeds Gonzaga and Villanova. According to Michael Grodsky, vice president of marketing for William Hill, a bettor put $5,000 on Gonzaga to beat 16-seed South Dakota State straight-up. The Zags won, earning the bettor a net $50 profit.

Later in the day, Grodsky said a different bettor put down $5,000 on No. 1-seed Villanova at -15,000 odds. The Wildcats led by one only at halftime, but pulled away in the second half to secure the bettor a $33.35 profit.

• After a bumpy start, bettors finished strong in Thursday's late tournament games. The favorite-and-over combination, almost always the betting public's preference, went 7-1 at some shops to close out an up-and-down day for the books.

"We were sitting pretty until the 4 p.m. (PT) games started," Frank Kunovic, director of specialty games at Caesars Palace, told ESPN in an email. "(We) went from up seven figures to down multiple six figures with all late games."

In addition to Caesars, the books at MGM, Westgate SuperBook, CG Technology and South Point also reported tough finishes to Thursday.

• While Thursday's late results weren't kind to the books, the handle -- the amount bet -- on the tournament's first full day was enormous. "We wrote half the amount of our entire Super Bowl handle just yesterday," South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews said in a text message Friday morning. "I hope to match it today."

• Duke, the No. 2 seed in the East Region, had moved into the role of favorite at sportsbook operator CG Technology. Duke was 9-1 on Sunday but has been shortened to 9-2 over the last three days, thanks to a flurry of money on the Blue Devils to win it all.

• CG Technology reported taking a $4,800 bet on Duke at 9-1 and a $7,000 bet at 5-1, with several $1,000 bets in between this week. Since Sunday, 31 percent of all money bet on the book's odds to win the tournament has been on Duke. That's nearly triple the amount of the next closest teams, North Carolina and Arizona.

Other books also have seen notable bets on the Blue Devils, including William Hill, which on Monday took a $10,000 bet on Duke at 7-1. But North Carolina, at 5-1, remains the favorite at William Hill, the Westgate SuperBook and the Wynn race and sportsbook.

• Bob Scucci, director of race and sports for Boyd Gaming, said North Carolina had attracted the most bets to win the tournament since the bracket was released Sunday, but added that "Most of the exposure is on Arizona at 8-1."

• On Monday, the Westgate SuperBook took a five-figure bet on North Carolina to win the national championship at 8-1. The bet helped boost the Tar Heels into the role of favorites at the SuperBook. As of Tuesday morning, North Carolina was 5-1, followed by Kansas (6-1), Duke (7-1), Villanova (8-1) and Gonzaga (9-1).

• Villanova and Kentucky each attracted large futures bets at William Hill during conference tournament week. On March 9, a bettor staked $10,000 on defending-champion Villanova to win it all at 9-1. Another $10,000 bet came in on Kentucky at 10-1 on March 10.

• William Hill took a $1,000 bet on Michigan at 100-1 on March 11, a good price on the Wolverines, who enter tournament week at 60-1.

• There have been five bets on Mount St. Mary's to win the NCAA tournament at 2,500/1 at William Hill U.S. Seems risky.

• Eight teams received more national championship title bets than Duke this season at William Hill. However, more money was bet on the Blue Devils to win it all than was bet on any other team. The largest Duke bet reported by William Hill was $12,000 at 8-1 odds placed on Feb. 23.

• The South Point sportsbook in Las Vegas took a pair of $10,000 bets on Duke to win the national championship from the same bettor at 10-1 and 15-2 in recent weeks, making the Blue Devils a team to sweat for the house at this point.

• The Westgate SuperBook also reported taking an influx of larger wagers on Duke to win the national championship over the last six weeks, making the Blue Devils the SuperBook's worst-case scenario.

• The Westgate and Wynn have Duke as the favorite to win the tournament. MGM has Kansas, and William Hill has North Carolina. Duke and North Carolina are co-favorites at 5-1 at the South Point, and Caesars Palace has Duke, North Carolina and Kansas as co-favorites at 5-1.

• On Feb. 23, a bettor at a William Hill sportsbook placed a $12,000 wager on Duke to win the national title at 8-1. The bet would net $96,000.

• As of Sunday at the Westgate SuperBook, more money had been bet on Duke to win the national championship than any other team.

• As of Sunday at MGM's and Caesars Palace sportsbooks, more money had been bet on Kansas to win the national championship than any other team.

• On Jan. 19, a bettor at a William Hill sportsbook placed an $8,000 bet on Kentucky at 6-1. The bet would net $48,000.

• In January, Caesars Palace took a $350 bet on Maryland at 250-1. The bet would net $87,500. "On whole, we took a lot of $100 wagers and we stand to lose over half million if Maryland comes in," Caesars Palace director of specialty games Frank Kunovic said.

• On Sept. 1, a bettor at a William Hill sportsbook placed a $300 bet on Arkansas to win the national championship at 300-1. A Hogs title would net $120,000.

• UCLA is a concern for CG Technology. The Bruins attracted more bets than any other team during the regular season, including a $3,000 bet at 25-1 and a $500 bet at 60-1. "We have a big red number to UCLA right now," Jason Simbal, vice president of risk at CG Technology, said.

• CG Technology took a $1,000 bet on SMU at 80-1 to win the NCAA tournament.

• On Feb. 12, a bettor at a William Hill sportsbook placed a $398.50 bet on Nevada to win the national championship at 250-1. A historic run for the 12th-seeded Wolf Pack would net $99,625.

• Michigan winning the national title would be the worst-case scenario for Station Casinos as of Tuesday.

Other betting nuggets

• Caesars Palace took a $21,000 money-line parlay on Notre Dame and Virginia. The Fighting Irish are around -320 to beat Princeton, and the Cavaliers are around -360 to beat UNC-Wilmington in their first-round openers. The bet would net around $14,000.

• CG Technology took a six-figure money-line bet on Purdue beating Vermont. The bet would pay $40,000. The Boilermakers opened as -410 favorites to beat the Catamounts straight-up, but the price had grown to -600. William Hill also took a big money-line bet on Purdue, $7,800 at -410 on the Boilermakers to win straight-up. That bet would pay $9,702.45.

• The first-round game generating the most betting action at William Hill is the Thursday nightcap between Nevada and Iowa State. As of late Tuesday afternoon, the game had attracted nearly twice as many bets as any other first-round matchup. Sixty-five percent of the money bet on the game was on the underdog Wolf Pack. Iowa State was a 6-point favorite at the majority of sportsbooks Wednesday morning.

• Out of the most-heavily bet first-round games at William Hill, the Creighton-Rhode Island game had drawn the most lopsided action. As of Tuesday afternoon, 94 percent of the money bet on the game was on the Rams plus the points. Creighton opened as a 3-point favorite. The line was down to pick-em at several books as Wednesday morning.

• The sportsbook at Treasure Island put up money lines on two 1-seed vs. 16-seed matchups. North Carolina is listed at -18,000 to beat Texas Southern. The underdog Tigers are 60-1 to become the first 16-seed to win a game in the NCAA tournament. Gonzaga is -8,000 to beat South Dakota State (+3,000).

• A surge of action came in on 12-seed Middle Tennessee in its opening game against 5-seed Minnesota. The Blue Raiders opened as 2-point underdogs, but were 1-point favorites at CG Technology as of Tuesday. CG Technology vice president of risk Jason Simbal told ESPN that 10 times as much money had been bet on Middle Tennessee as had been bet on the Gophers. Station Casinos also reported lopsided action on the Blue Raiders.

Prop at the South Point Casino: Will a No. 15 or No. 16 seed beat a No. 1 or No. 1 seed? Yes +600 / No -800.

• Last year at William Hill, 35 percent of the money bet on game days during the tournament was placed on the opening Thursday and Friday.

Prop bet at Station Casinos: Will the "Wildcats" win the NCAA tournament? Yes +300 / No -400. Teams included: Villanova, Arizona, Kentucky, Kansas State and Northwestern.

• Last year at William Hill, the second-round matchup between Kentucky and Indiana attracted more bets than any other game in the tournament, except for the championship game between Villanova and North Carolina.

• Ed Salmons, college basketball oddsmaker for the Westgate SuperBook, has North Carolina at the top of his power rankings, but says Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and Villanova are all within a few points of each other. "Louisville is almost in that tier, too," Salmons added. "Louisville was favored over Duke (in the ACC tournament)."

• The South Point, the first book to post lines on the opening-round games, was taking bets within 30 minutes of the matchups being released Sunday. The First Four matchup on Tuesday between USC and Providence generated the most early action. "It's really getting a lot of wiseguy business," South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews said. "Most of the sharp money is on USC."

USC opened as a 1-point favorite. The line had grown to Trojans -2.5 by Monday afternoon.

• Don't call it an upset: No. 10-seed Wichita State is a 6.5-point favorite over No. 7-seed Dayton. That is the most a lower-seeded team has been favored over a higher seed in the first round going back 12 years. Since 2005, a lower-seeded team has been favored over the higher seed 42 times. The favorite in those games went 21-21 against the spread, according to sports analytics site, BetLabsSports.

• Derek Stevens, owner of The D Casino in Las Vegas, placed an $11,000 bet on each of the 32 round of 64 games and First Four matchups that were set Sunday night. Stevens placed the bets at the South Point Casino as part of a live broadcast on Brent Musburger's "My Friends in the Desert" on the Vegas Stats and Information Network.

Stevens is known to make big bets. Two years ago, he had a $20,000 ticket on Michigan State at 50-1 from the Golden Nugget to win the tournament; it would have paid $1 million. The Spartans made a surprise run to the Final Four before losing to Duke.

"It actually worked out well for everyone," Stevens said. "[Golden Nugget owner] Tilman [Fertitta] didn't lose the million, and I was able to hedge out on Duke.

Here are Stevens' 32 bets, each risking $11,000 to win $10,000: UCLA -17, Rhode Island +2, Oregon -15, Michigan State +1.5, New Mexico State +13, Wichita State -6.5, Northern Kentucky +19, Jacksonville State +22, Michigan pick 'em, Arkansas -1, Texas Southern +25, Marquette +2.5, Troy +19.5, Providence +1, North Carolina Central -2, Wake Forest +1, New Orleans -1.5, Maryland -1, Virginia Commonwealth +3.5, North Dakota +17, Vanderbilt pick 'em, Gonzaga -22, Winthrop +12, Nevada +6.5, Florida Gulf Coast +14, East Tennessee State +12, North Carolina Wilmington +8, West Virginia -14, Notre Dame -7.5, Virginia Tech -6.

• MGM assistant sportsbook manager Jeff Stoneback on the betting crowd for the opening week of the NCAA tournament: "You get a good mix. You get the people with money who come out here and want to bet on it. And then you have kids are out here for spring break and the tourists who haven't followed college basketball all season long. But everybody wants to bet on it, from the $5 eight-team parlay player to the guy who bets $50,000 a game."

• The most common size of a bet during the first two days of the NCAA tournament at MGM's and CG Technology sportsbooks is $20, with a lot of parlays.

• Last year at Caesars Palace, 54 percent of the action bet on the NCAA tournament was placed on the first Thursday and Friday. The first-round days accounted for 81 percent of the action, according to Kunovic.

• The amount wagered on the first three full days of the 2016 NCAA tournament at William Hill's Nevada sportsbook, was equal to the amount wagered on the 2015 Super Bowl, including all proposition and futures bets.

• The game that generates the most bets is shown on the primary TV screen with sound at the Mirage.

• The last game on the schedule often is among the most heavily bet. "If you took a survey (in the sportsbook) after the last game has tipped off, I would guess you have would have at least 95 percent of people would have a bet on that game," Stoneback said.

My Paypal Already Received My First 25.39$ Earnings From

Happy indeed that on March 8, 2013, I just completed my first 25$ earnings at after at least the fourteen days working with the site that started on February 23, 2013 to March 8, 2013. Bubblews e-check was already sent off to my PayPal account. For 14 days, I had published 68 posts on These 68 posts received a total of 208 likes. They garnered at least 2,129 views, 49 comments and the total earnings have reached so far to 25.39$. Because this is my first time to hit the threshold - immediately I decided to redeem them

through my PayPal account.

After the said transaction, I noticed that my bank records were all gone. All the recorded data were erased - what I saw were all zeros from posts, likes, views and the earnings accumulated during the period of 14 days. But they are still available on my Bubblews profile page except the amount I requested for payment. Now I understand that every time a user requests payment from Bubblews site - his bank records accumulated til the time he requested payment will be back to zero. And if he wanted it again to see earnings - he would have to work again by publishing new stuff and doing other activities available on the site - if he wanted to earn more.

The e-check payment dated March 9, 2013 from Bubblews is a living proof that Bubblews is really a legit site that pays its users and not a scam site according to some complains, other write-ups and feedback I read from the Internet regarding the site. On the e-check there was charges amounting to 1.29$ and the 24.10$ is the net amount deposited to my PayPal

On Bubblews - if the user is hard working, he could publish the maximum posts per day which are ten posts at 400 characters or more for each post. Every post a user posted could earn between 12$ and 15$ cents. So if he has posted 10 items for the day and multiplied them by 12$ or 15$ cents - he earns either 1.20$ or 1.50$. These amounts are earnings accumulated from posting ten items and there are additional earnings to be added if those items have already garnered views - plus additional earnings if those items have also received likes from other bubblews members and visitors.

What if Bubblews has ignored my requested payment? What evidence I should use as proof that I requested the payment - as they were already erased from my Bubblews bank records? Of course, I should keep a proof - here I kept a copy of the recorded amount and other info found on my Bubblews bank record and other transaction at the time I made the request. I printed them using the print screen of my computer keyboard - and saved it as jpg (photos). I also wrote a short article regarding my request Just Sent Off My Request to Redeem My First Bubblews Earnings and published it on their site and on my blog site. They are all proof to use if Bubblews denied it.

The photos for this column are available at 25$ for 14 Days on Bubblews is a Success

You Can’t Hurry Recovery

With apologies to The Supremes who sang “You can’t Hurry Love“, this version came to me during a session with a client last week. I don’t think it is quite as compelling as the original, but the sentiments are important.

We can often give a good estimation of recovery times for a range of physical health problems, but it is notoriously difficult to do this for psychological problems. Clients, perhaps influenced by friends and family, usually have unrealistic expectations about how long the process of recovery can be. When they see that they are not recovering within these timescales, they often become more anxious and depressed. The pressing need to recover becomes an additional stress which, unsurprisingly, becomes a mantle that weighs them down further and contributes to a sense of hopelessness.

My message is an attempt to help clients put this mantle aside. I have likened recovery to a seedling taking root or to a flower blossoming. These natural processes unfold in nature’s time, but they can sometimes be helped along a little by tender care from the gardener. In this sense, therapy can be seen as a kind of fertiliser to promote the growth of recovery.

Luckily for my clients, I have not yet attempted to sing nor turned up to a session in gardening gloves.
