Postseason profits: NBA playoff betting tips
By Miller Group
Sean Murphy is the lead handicapper for The Miller Group.
It's playoff time baby!
As far as I'm concerned, this is the single best time to make money over the course of the entire betting calendar.
Following a couple of nights off, the NBA's 16 best will throw down starting Saturday. I'm going to outline some of the strategies I use to make money in the postseason.
I won't bore you with meaningless trends or mathematical nonsense. These are simply tried and true betting philosophies that have put me on the winning side in the playoffs over the last several years.
Overs early, unders late
If you're going to play overs, the time to do it is in the early stages of a series.
That would seem to spin common logic on its head, as one would assume there would be some sort of feeling out process in the early going.
The reality is teams tend to bring an abundance of energy in Games 1 and 2, leading to more free flowing contests. Once the intensity starts to pick up and the teams get to know each other better, we start to see more contested shots, more physicality and less scoring. As an added bonus, we tend to see inflated totals after high scores are posted early in the series.
For example, take last year's first round matchup between the Mavericks and Hornets. Games 1 and 2 produced 196 and 230 points, both sailing over the posted total. Games 3 through 5 resulted in only 184, 181, and 193 points. All three of those games went under.
Watch for that same story to unfold in several first-round series this year.
Fade high scoring low seeds
It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a run-and-gun team. How many times have the Suns burned your bankroll during the playoffs in recent years?
Thankfully, the Suns aren't around this spring. That doesn't mean there aren't other teams to stay away from.
It's one thing to put up big offensive numbers during the regular season, but doing so in the playoffs is another matter entirely.
I'm not interested in fading those offense-oriented higher seeds, rather those from five through eight.
The 2008 Denver Nuggets fit that bill. They went into the playoffs as the eight seed, getting there by way of an up-tempo offense lead by Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. Their playoff run was short, as the Lakers disposed of them in four straight games. The Nuggets didn't cover a single pointspread.
One such team I'll be looking to fade this postseason is the Chicago Bulls. They fell in love with their offense too much down the stretch. They did eclipse the century mark in 12 of their final 15 games, but it came at the expense of their defense. I don't see them matching up well with any of the East's big three, all of which play excellent lockdown defense.
Ignore the zig-zag theory
I've never been a proponent of this playoff betting strategy which tells you to play on the team that lost the previous game. This theory doesn't hold much water these days, as oddsmakers caught onto it long ago.
I actually see value in betting the opposite. Play on a team that is coming off a win, particularly when their next game is at home. Generally, oddsmakers will overvalue the losing team from the previous game, assuming that they're going to show more fight. A lot of times, talent wins out.
In the opening round last year, teams that won Game 1 at home SU and ATS went 4-1 SU and ATS in Game 2. Two years ago, the situation arose only three times in the first round, with the home team proceeding to win and cover in Game 2 twice.
Betting elimination games
When it comes to elimination games, I have a couple of guidelines I follow.
First, I try to avoid betting against teams that have the opportunity to close out a series at home. That should be a no-brainer in today's NBA, where home court means everything.
Second, when a team is going for a sweep, bet that team. NBA players have a tendency to quit when faced with the daunting and nearly impossible task of rallying from a 3-0 series deficit. I've noticed it more so in the NBA than any other professional sport.
As a general rule of thumb, the earlier in a series a team is facing elimination, the less likely it is that they win and subsequently cover the spread in that game.

McLarens Lewis Hamilton insists his ten-place grid penalty at this weekends French Grand Prix will not affect his preparations for the Magny-Cours race. Hamilton, who takes the drop as punishment for his pit-lane crash in Canada, says he will be relying on a mix of strategy and aggression to get him back into contention.
"Mentally, its just something that you learn to overcome quickly, said the Englishman of the penalty. Weve already looked at the best ways of optimising the strategy to help us move up the field and I guess Ill just have to pass some cars if I want to get into the points!"
The French circuit is not the easiest of tracks on which to pass. Indeed, in the words of Mercedes Norbert Haug, according to our experience of Magny-Cours there is some kind of ban of overtaking. Nevertheless, Hamilton believes it is possible.
"You can dive down the inside into the Adelaide Hairpin and also have a look into the penultimate corner, he said. But an area we can really focus on is the strategy - Magny-Cours has a relatively short pit lane which does open up the strategic options available to us in the race."
Hamiltons penalty will inevitably force McLaren to alter their overall approach to the coming Grand Prix weekend, but Martin Whitmarsh, the teams Formula One CEO, remains hopeful of both cars delivering strong results.
"Obviously, we go to France knowing we only have the capability to field one car on the optimum strategy, so our job will be a little different from normal, he said. But we still expect to extract the very maximum performance levels from both cars. Both Lewis and Heikki (Kovalainen) are very confident about their chances and we will be working hard with the strategists and engineers in order to provide them both with the optimum strategy for the race."
Historically, Magny-Cours has not been the most successful of circuits for McLaren. Last year Hamilton came home third after starting second on the grid, while then team mate Fernando Alonso finished seventh.

About snowblindburd's Garage
About me and my passion for boats
I've loved boats since I first started reading about Titanic and other early ships when I was a little kid. Nowadays I'll stop and read pretty much anything boat related.
My first boat
We got a 1972 Glastron 176 Swinger from my grandparents when they moved down to Florida. It needs some work now but when I get some extra cash it will be restored.
My dream boat
I'm pretty happy with the Glastron, although a brand new one would be cool too.

I am really liking this hosta. The form and color and rippling are wonderful. This pic was taken this am. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nice hosta. It hurts my neck to look at it, though. Try right side up. bk |

Now is a good time to remind tablet users (me included) to ensure that when taking a picture, the snap button is on the right side. If it is appears anywhere else your picture will be askew. Same premise for iPhone etc. Lately I've had to jiggle or turn the tablet upside down to bring the snap button to where it belongs....depending on how I was aiming. :-) Jo |

Yeah, but it's a really good shot when you twist your head. :) Summer Squall is a Bob Solberg plant that I should have bought from Bob 3 years ago at the 2011 convention. I got cheap and passed it up. Non-buyers remorse. Steve |

I just click on the photo and it straightens it up. Using a Chromebook. The click (or tap) trick works to correct the photo position on our Windows 8.1 desktop running Chrome Browser. What a beautiful photo. I even like the title. The water droplets are arranged like jewels on the edges. Don't think I've seen that before. Only a hosta gardener would be out there in the rain taking photos! -Babka |

whats the deal with that leaf at 3 oclock??? [noon if you are too lazy to open the pic in a new window] ... first leaf out damage.. ???? if so.. rip it out of there ... ken |

I took the picture slightly askew in order to show the droplets on the way the edges I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my picture taking abilities. |
It's a beautiful picture of a beautiful hosta. That shade of deep blue-green is amazing! Flowerchild, what people are commenting on is NOT your framing of the picture (which is perfect!), its just this weird thing that happens with posting photos from mobile devices...I had no idea what people were talking about the first time it happened to me, because the pictures appeared right side up for me on my tablet. For people on computers, the photo was upside down or on its side. Yours, for instance, appears with the top on the left hand side. I stopped posting photos for the most part because I never knew if it would be oriented correctly, and I never get the time to upload all my pics onto a PC and post from there. YOU are not allowed to stop posting pictures, however, because you have beautiful photos that need to be seen! :) I look forward to seeing 'Summer Squall' throughout the season! |

No one would be offended by the sideways photo. (You have to mean to offend people around here - we're pretty unoffendable in the normal course of things.) That was my un-cute way of saying it's sideways. I'll think of a better way to say it next time. Because there will be a next time. I'm still on Windows 7, and clicking on it does nothing. It looks like the hosta is growing out of a wall to me. I also realize it looks straight to you. It also looks straight to other tablet users, by the way. Great photo, incidentally. bk |
- Posted by flowerchild59 z6b IL (My Page) on Tue, Apr 29, 14 at 22:29
I just got home from my trek to st. Louis from southern Illinois. Driving in St. Louis traffic makes me appreciate southern Illinois all the more. I now see what you mean about viewing it from a PC and being mis-oriented (is that a real word???). I will try to do better with future pics. I want to see pics of unusual hostas. Hopefully all oriented in the correct position. |
Bkay- There is a Chrome browser for Windows 7. Have you tried that? I don't have a Windows 7 computer to try it on. It loads very quickly and if it doesn't help you out you can remove it easily. Not meaning to beat a dead horse here, it is just that I know how annoying it is to have things be sideways on a laptop or desktop. Just trying to help... ;-) -Babka |
Here is a link that might be useful: Chrome browser for Windows 7
Boy, that is a nice photo. bk |

NOTE: If the photo is sideways or upside down on the post, simply do a click on the picture and it will appear properly. Who told me that? I read it here, tried it, and it works every time. Love that Summer Squall. Sure looks like a dark storm cloud. |

In the first experiment, the researchers wanted to see if infants were more likely to detect changes in the visual sequence when the changes occurred at the beginning or the end of the sequence.
The researchers flashed the same green symbols over and over again until most babies were bored and began looking away. They then added a new, orange symbol either at the beginning or the end of the sequence.
They found that infants both 8 and 16 month olds had a preference for the beginning of the sequence, meaning that they were more likely to notice and pay attention to the screen - when a symbol was added to the beginning rather than at the end.
After learning that children preferred the beginning of the sequence, the researchers tried to see if they could train them to pay attention to the end of the sequence.
So in a different experiment with new children, the researchers showed a series of symbols on the screen but the last symbol in the sequence did something exciting to arouse their interest, such as jumping on the screen or sliding back and forth.
After training the infants to notice the end of the sequence, they showed a new object sequence over and over again with no changes. Finally, they tested the infants by adding a symbol to the beginning or the end of the sequence.
"We found that both the 8 and 16 month olds shifted their attention to the end of the sequence," Hupp said.
"They paid more attention to the end and less to the beginning, suggesting that they learned when in the sequence they should be alert for changes."
But what would happen if these young infants had to transfer that knowledge to a completely different type of situation? The researchers tested that question by training infants to pay attention to the end of a visual sequence and then seeing if they could transfer that kn

A Palestinian flag flutters as Palestinians, together with Israeli and foreign activists, stand near tents at the Bab al-Shams (Gate of the Sun) 'outpost' in the sensitive West Bank corridor east of Jerusalem on January 12, 2013. The Israeli occupation administration gave Palestinian activists one hour to quit the protest camp in part of the West Bank where Israel has vowed to build new settler homes, an organiser told AFP. Activists have erected a 20-tent 'outpost' in the area where Palestinians say Israeli settlement construction would destroy the prospects of territorial contiguity for their promised state.

Hi guys, I planted a Synsepalum dulcificum (mircale fruit) from seed some years ago. It's been doing ok even if every winter some leaves fall and the growth stop until summer. Although this years, new leaves stay small and really pale while spot of rust/discoloration is appearing on old leaves. Soil : 50% peat moss / 50% perlite I'll be happy to provide any more information if needed. |

Most tap water is at the least neutral PH and oftentimes much higher. Start using rain water instead. They are acid lovers. Using Sequestrene 138 can help. This is an iron chelate. |

I started using rain water a week or so before i made this post. After almost a month, I still see no sign of recovery. I just bought a PH tester+PH down bottle over internet so we'll see how it goes after adjusting PH to 5. |

Hi Merlin - et-al i got one a couple of months ago it doesnt seem to be growing a bit. I am trying to figure PH / water out now I understand lemon juice is more stable also, ascorbic acid (which i have) buffered vitamin C any ideas which one is best ? |
It looks like iron chlorosis or nitrogen deficiency. They do need a fertilizer routine since they are going to use up whats in the pot and it needs replaced. Good luck |
- Posted by MerlinMerlin (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 12:21
Ok thanks mr. greendumb but do you think those deficiency could be caused by wrong PH witch led to a bad assimilation of nutrients? Also what fertiliser would you recommend? |

acidic soil can reduce nitrogen uptake. |

By M.L. RANTALA The Newberry Consort, affiliated with the Newberry Library Center for Renaissance Studies, draws on the library's vast music collection and assembles local and international artists to perform music from the 13th to the 18th centuries. The Consort also serves as an ensemble-in-residence at both the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. It has been a part the Chicago music scene for nearly three decades and is co-directed by violinist David Douglass and soprano Ellen Hargis. In November they present "¡Música Barocca Mexicana! Music from the Durango Cathedral Archives," a concert of eighteenth-century New World music, featuring voices, baroque violins, guitar, theorbo, harpsichord and cello. The program includes U.S. premieres of works by Ignacio Jerusalem, Santiago Billoni, Manuel de Sumaya and others. The event takes place on Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. at the Performance Hall at the Logan Center. Information at newberryconsort.org or 773-702-2787. John von Rhein – Chicago Tribune Choral music from an earlier period and of a far more specialized sort made up the season finale of the Newberry Consort. Co-director Ellen Hargis and colleagues presented the second in a series of programs devoted to music from the trove of musical manuscripts at the Newberry Library known as the Mexican choirbooks. These priceless volumes include works by Old World and New World Spanish and Mexican composers, written for the use of nuns singing the mass and worship services in the former Convent of the Incarnation in Mexico City. While the six surviving choirbooks contain known pieces by such familiar Renaissance figures as Tomas Luis de Victoria, a good many works are by obscure 17th century composers such as Juan de Lienas, Fabian Perez Ximeno and Fray Jacinto. All four composers figured in the absorbing concert heard Friday at St. Clement Church in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. Researching, editing, transcribing and (in some cases) reconstructing these hymns, motets, antiphons and polychoral pieces for performance required a great deal of industry on the part of Hargis and her assistants. But the musical results, sung by a total of 10 women's voices in various-sized configurations and accompanied by women playing chamber organ, viola da gamba, vihuela (early Spanish guitar) and bajon (a buzzy-sounding baroque bassoon), were fascinating, opening a window on a forgotten era. The generous reverberation of St. Clement Church, like that of the chapel at Loyola, challenges the efforts of choral singers to communicate texts clearly. Still, one could follow the Latin words in the program book, and the ethereal effect of pure-toned female voices floating in a large, airy acoustic was atmospheric compensation. The nuns of the Convento de Nuestra Senora de la Encarnacion (to revert to the cloister's Spanish name) must have been well-trained musicians to master pieces as challenging as these. The nicely blended Newberry vocalists did a fine job of balancing spiritual and temporal emotions, most notably in Ximeno's lively setting of the bellicose psalm "Dixit Dominus." The four instrumentalists made the most of their accompanimental and solo duties. It's good news that the consort plans to release the program, "Celestial Sirens II," as a commercial audio recording. "…spiritedly played and sung… early music at its committed best." By Alan G. Artner, Special to the Tribune 9:48 AM CST, February 8, 2014 Almost 460 years to the day, the ensemble presented a 90-minute program of music, projections and narration to commemorate the Feast of the Oath of the Pheasant. This party, given by Philip, Duke of Burgundy, was to urge a crusade against the Ottoman Turks who nine months before had taken the holy city of Constantinople. The early-music community has for decades presented such commemorations, purporting to recreate aural events associated with coronations, funerals, masses and weddings. Spiritedly played and sung, the evening devoted to The Feast of the Oath of the Pheasant is the Newberry Consort's modest entry to an ever-growing catalog. Always such programs have involved varying amounts of research and conjecture. There is more than one written account of Philip's feast but only a single unhelpful image. So David Douglass, co-director of the Consort, had his musicians read aloud from the most vivid description, by chronicler Olivier de la Marche, and perform 22 short pieces assembled around the three by Guillaume Dufay that many (but not all) scholars think were included. The visual backdrops, often accompanying translations of vocal texts, were brought together from illuminations and tapestries having no connection to Philip's party. In consequence, many details differed from what was described orally, though in the main the images complemented the texts to fine effect, amply conveying extravagance. De la Marche's account cites at least 28 musicians, implying several more. Six made up the Newberry Consort, and they narrated and sung sometimes less pleasingly than they played. The primary vocalist was Consort co-director Ellen Hargis, whose authority shone not only in lively pieces but also Dufay's great "Lamentatio sanctae matris ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae," the banquet's conjectured high point Thinness of texture was the chief disappointment, especially in more militant and festive pieces such as Conrad Paumann's "Fanfare." But to hear the ease with which Tom Zajac alternated among nearly a dozen instruments (including bagpipe and hurdy-gurdy) and the vigor with which Rachel Barton Pine attacked the rebec, a Renaissance ancestor of the violin, was to experience early music at its committed best. Copyright © 2014 Chicago Tribune Company, LLC ClevelandClassical.com Previews, News & Reviews by Nicholas Jones The overlapping musical talents and resources of Cleveland's early music community were in full multi-tasking mode at the Church of the Covenant last week — with some help from Chicago and Tennessee. The occasion was one event in celebration of the church's magnificent new tracker organ, modeled on north German 17th-century organs. The organ was built by the Tennessee firm of Richards, Fowkes and Company and installed only this January. It replaces a small gallery organ in the back of the church. A stop-action video documenting the organ's installation is online at YouTube. The organ is still being adjusted, but from what I heard, it has a lively delicacy that suits both early solo music and the accompaniment of singers. Boston-based organist Frances Fitch played it to great effect.Oberlin's James Christie will perform a dedicatory recital on Sunday afternoon, May 12, where no doubt the full range of the organ will be revealed. The singers were the esteemed Newberry Consort, based in Chicago and directed by the excellent early music vocalist and CWRU faculty member Ellen Hargis. In this concert, eight accomplished singers — many of them Clevelanders — took on the roles of nuns from the Renaissance, singing music that would have been heard in convents in Italy and Mexico in the 16th and 17th centuries. (Pictured above: Celestial Sirens as performed in Chicago). In the first half the group highlighted two big Italian motets for eight voices, performed with organ and viola da gamba accompaniment. The all-woman choir created a full, rich, and unusual sound, several of the mezzos diving deep into the baritone range to support their treble colleagues. Especially delicious was a trio by the Vicenzan composer Leone Leoni. It was set in the lower register of the women's voices, which made the most of the liquid metaphor of the Song of Solomon text, "Anima mea liquefacta est" — "my soul melted when my beloved spoke." Quite a text for a convent! Interspersed among the vocal numbers throughout the concert were organ solos, which Ms. Fitch played with elegance and variety. Particularly wonderful was a jazzy villancico (a kind of carol) by Gaspar Fernandez, which she registered entirely on a clear high stop. In another interlude, gambist Katherine Shuldiner took the lead in a virtuosic set of variations by Angelo Notari, a Paduan who spent much of his life in England. Oddly, the theme on which this sober and introspective piece was based is a satiric song, "La Monaca," about a nun who didn't want to be a nun. The organ pieces in the first half, several of them by members of the Gabrieli family, were earlier in period and more conservative in style than a number of the vocal compositions, in which the "modern" expressivity of the Baroque was evident. Especially beautiful among the vocal pieces was "O superbi mundi machine," a rich meditation on the vanity of the world by the late 17th-century Ursuline nun Maria Xaviera Perucona. The text has that unabashedly metaphoric eclecticism of Marvell and Crashaw: "Our life is like a flower in which death alone reigns; a sighing breath is an ash which fades away like the dew." The second half of the concert featured music from a remarkable collection at the Newberry Library at the University of Chicago, the six choirbooks of the Mexico City convent of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación. From these 17th-century choirbooks, the consort sang four rich motets for eight voices, making it clear that life as a nun did not necessarily mean musical asceticism, whatever other forms of abstinence it did involve. In the first of these, a Magnificat by one Fabián Peréz Ximeno, the otherwise secure vocal ensemble of the consort did not quite cohere. But in other pieces, the singers showed good rhythmic coordination and admirable accuracy of pitch (tuning to the organ in "temperament-modified meantone" must not have been easy). The Church of the Covenant may have to make some adjustments in how to use the reconfigured space around the organ. The narrow gallery in which the singers were spread out does not allow for as much visual contact amongst them as would be found on a larger stage, though the Newberry singers coped well. More seriously, the singers stand some four or five feet below the floor on which the organ is built. Thus, they are significantly lower than the organist, who had to turn around and look down to catch the beginnings and ends of phrases, with some inevitable lapses in ensemble at the cadences. There seems to be no mirror or video camera installed as yet to help with visual cueing. These issues will no doubt get worked out before long. The audience, on a snowy night in midweek, was small but appreciative. At the end, after warm applause, the singers generously gave an encore performance of the first choral piece of the evening, an expressive "Cantabant sancti" by Giovanni Battista Cesena. Nicholas Jones is Professor of English at Oberlin and a keen amateur musician. Published on ClevelandClassical.com March 25, 2013 The Newberry Consort (courtesy BEMF) By Ken Keaton There are few places on earth where an audience can enjoy a purely magical performance of Medieval song in a glorious hall. The Boston Early Music Festival is on that short list. The music: Cantigas de Santa Maria, by Alfonso X. The performers: the Newberry Consort with the vocal ensemble Exsultemus. The place: New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall. The Cantigas de Santa Maria consists of 420 poems set to music, attributed to Alfonso X, King of Castile, Leon, and Galicia during the 13th century. Alfonso was known as El Sabio, "The Wise," and was not only a great political leader but also one of the finest scholars of his age, learned in all aspects of his world including poetry and music. His treatise on law became one of the guides for our nation's founders, and he wrote an extensive history of Spain. These works, and the Cantigas, were unique to the age as the first major scholarly works written in the vernacular, rather than Latin. Whether he directly wrote all of these poems and set them to music, or whether he supervised their assembly, he very likely contributed a major amount. And that actually has little bearing on the fact that these are uncommonly beautiful works, particularly in the hands – and voices – of brilliant scholar/performers such as the Newberry Consort and Exsultemus. Musician,'Cantigas de Santa Maria' illumination, E Codex What survives of the music is just the melody and text – set in an evolving notation in which it is not clear exactly how the rhythms should be interpreted, nor how the words line up with the music. Some scholars feel that the music should be presented without any instrumental accompaniment, but there are ample indications from that instruments were used. Indeed, some of theO illuminations in the manuscript for the Cantigas show instrumentalists playing with singers. That which is played, however, must be reconstructed (would conjured be a better word?), in this case by the scholars and players in the Newberry Consort, experts who have lived with this era's music for a long time. All the players doubled instruments, so the accompaniment varied from piece to piece. Ellen Hargis' clear, expressive soprano was the leading voice telling each story, with the singers of Exsultemus joining in at recurring choruses. The language is medieval Portuguese; the performance was enhanced by projecting the English translations of the text, each –against a background of art of that time, whether illustrating the stories of each song, or perhaps showing musicians at work. That was frankly a touch of genius. Most of the settings are strophic, and many narrations were quite extensive. This way the audience could be fully involved and follow the nuances of the performers. The performers chose sixteen of the Cantigas (all of which celebrate Mary, Mother of Jesus). Two were performed purely instrumentally. Others told mystical stories, like the saint who listened for 300 years to a bird song after he asked Mary to show him what the bliss of heaven would be like. Some were more earthy, like the tale of a pregnant abbess who was saved when Mary took her child far away, so there was no evidence that she had become pregnant. We also heard the tale of the visit of the three kings at Jesus' birth, and that of his ascent into heaven. Musicians, 'Cantigas de Santa Maria' illumination, E Codex But the final Cantiga, "Rosa das Rosas," the most ethereally beautiful of all, was again in praise of the Virgin Mary, "Rose of Roses, Flower of Flowers, Lady of Ladies." Each verse was sung with rapt devotion. For the final verse, the instrumentalists put down their instruments and joined in one final a cappella stanza. It would not have been surprising if halos of light had encircled each of their heads. It was a truly memorable, inspired ending. For the record, here is the artist roster: The Newberry Consort: David Douglass and Ellen Hargis, artistic directors; David Douglass, vielle and rebec; Ellen Hargis, soprano; Matthew Dean, tenor and recorder; Shira Kammen, vielle and harp; Mark Rimple, lute and citole, and Tom Zajac, flute, recorder, bagpipe, hammered dulcimer, and percussion. Exsultemus: Shannon Kanavin, soprano and artistic director, with Shari Alise Wilson, soprano; Pamela Dellal, mezzo-soprano; Martin Near, counter-tenor, and Michael Barrett, tenor. Ken Keaton is a professor of music at Florida Atlantic University. He is the author of The Mystery of Music, published by Kendall Hunt. As a music critic, he writes for American Record Guide and the Palm Beach Daily News. King Alfonso X 'El Sabio' in his court, as depicted in the 'Cantigas de Santa María' E Codex Exsultemus (exsultemus.org) A highlight of the (BEMF) festival was a superb multimedia presentation by the Newberry Consort in Jordan Hall on Thursday afternoon drawn from the 13th-century Cantigas de Santa Maria,a manuscript attributed to Spanish ruler and arts patron Alfonso X. This stellar Chicago ensemble, directed by David Douglass (vielle and rebec) and Ellen Hargis (soprano), performed a dozen richly multicultural cantigas, while projecting the brightly colored illustrations that originally accompanied them onto an overhead screen, along with translations of the lyrics. The effect was near total immersion in these stories devoted to Mary, with intricate polyphony improvised by the skilful ensemble, which was assisted by guest artists from the Exsultemus vocal ensemble.

An interesting experiment
In one experiment documented by Quicksprout an SEO expert created six different websites in the same niche and monitored how their rankings could be shifted by different social cues. He looked at Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

Well, it is a disc golf course, but not much of one. I live near campus and went to play with my friends, though we could only throw two holes for all the students walking around. This course meanders all over sidewalks, and the tee pads are right next to the dorms--it looks like they just squeezed the holes in between them. I don't think I'll be playing this course much if at all in the future.

BWW TV: Trailer Released for NO!
In 1988, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, due to international pressure, is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. The country will vote YES or NO to Pinochet extending his rule for another eight years. Opposition leaders for the NO persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal), to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the despot's minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free.

More Women Have Driver's Licenses Than Men In US
"I want to be in my own car for as long as possible. I want to be independent for as long as I can," said Diane Spitaliere, 58, a retired government worker in Alexandria, Va.
Male drivers under age 44 are still slightly more numerous than women of the same age, but that's only because young men outnumber young women in the general population, the study said. There now are 105 boys born each year for every 100 girls in the U.S. Women outnumber men later in life because they live longer â¿¿ an average of 80 years for women, compared with about 75 years for men.
Rising Internet usage may be part of the reason for the decline in the share young drivers, especially young men, Sivak said. A previous study by the transportation institute published earlier this year found that countries that have higher Internet usage also have a lower licensure rate of teens and young adults.
"There is some suggestive evidence that Internet contact is reducing the need for personal contact," he said.
Other researchers have theorized that digital media and technology may make driving less desirable and public transportation more convenient. Texting while driving is dangerous and illegal in most states, but there's no risk to texting or working on a laptop while riding a bus or train. Some transit systems have been seeing significant increases in riders. Another reason for the growing disinterest among young men in driving may be the erosion of the "car-fetish society," travel behavior analyst Nancy McGuckin said. "Today's young adults grew up in the back seat of cars stalled in congestion, hearing their folks swear at the endless traffic. Nothing romantic about that!" It is also "no longer cool, or even possible, to work on your own vehicle. The engines are so complex most people don't even change their own oil," she said. "Independence, freedom, being able to customize the car to reflect you â¿¿ these are not part of young people's association with vehicles."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Oil spill in Gulf could be enviromental threat.
Tuesday, April 27, 2010 - 9:35am
The clean-up continues in the Gulf of Mexico from a sunken drilling platform, off the coast of Louisiana, that is spilling oil into the sea. It is posing a threat to sensitive marshes and beaches from Louisiana to Florida and officials say it could take some time to stop it.

Here's another tree I'm trying to identify in my Melbourne back yard. Any help would be much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know what this is but I'm going to bump it up so maybe someone else sees it |
Thanks - starting to think it's a camellia. |
It's certainly seems to be another camelia, this one slightly sicker with a lot of dead growth. Not really the season for pruning but you could get rid of the dead stuff. Let's see if we can find out why this one is not thriving. There's a lot off leaf litter on the ground - is it from the plant or something else? There are two branch-like projections coming from over the fence - what are they? The shot shows a lot of sun over the fence, can you describe the location where this is growing (to rule out too much exposure)? |

D&D Inn
TravelPod Member ReviewsD&D Inn Bangkok
Very clean room and was out the back so heard no noise from the. Use Khaosan road! Pool was great to escape the muggy heat in Bangkok, and inclusive breakfast was average, chose to play safe with toast and fruit.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Superior room was just what we needed - in the heart of Khao San road, but rooms are away from the noise. Air con room and a hot shower and for £15 a night!

Hope it's nice

Dirty pool, but fine

Great spot in the heart of touristic Khaosan road and full of backpackers. Clean rooms with good showers, tv and wifi
Top floor swimming pool with good views pg the city.
Buffet breakfast not the best but better than nothing!
Be careful though it can be very noisy
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
An easy introduction to the huge world of travelling. Right in the middle of all the Koh San commotion, its always bustling and full of life. Not the prettiest, but you will have some fun!

This hotel is very dirty and noisy and bad value for money.
Furthermore , I know for a fact that hotel staff (chambermaid?) stole my mp3 player out of my rucksack in my room. Only the carry case remained (they took the charge cable) It was not doubt to be sold along the Ko San Road at one of the many make-shift bric-a-brac stalls flogging guests' stolen stuff.
Do not come for the rooftop swimming pool, it's really quite dirty.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The location of D&D is ideal for any backpackers wanting convenience and an atmosphere at a low cost. Literally located on KhaoSan rd you're near loads of restaurants, bars, shops and weird and wonderful sights. If your priorities are to get a good nights sleep then this is NOT the place for you, you'd be better off finding somewhere set back away from the party area.
We didn't find the staff very friendly but it's great that breakfast is included, there's a pool and it's easy to meet other backpackers. D&D served a purpose and would stay there again if we pass through Bangkok.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
No wifi and noisy rooms as on main street but top location, clean, hot shower and buffet breakfast included. A bit more than we have been paying but does have a pool. There are lots of cheaper places around if you are on a budget.

Historical Traveler Reviews D&D Inn Bangkok
Gemischte Kritiken
Ich war schon 5 Mal im D & D und hatte verschiedene Eindrücke, hauptsächlich gute aber auch schlechte!
Das D & D liegt perfekt an der Koh San Straße und hat wirklich seine Vor und Nachteile:
-- Das Personal kann manchmal rau und abrupt sein und wird versuchen, ihnen das teuereste Zimmer zu verkaufen. Sehen Sie sich vorher immer das Zimmer an, vor der Bezahlung
- Es gibt 2 Zimmertypen, die fensterlosen sind eine Schande und man fühlt sich wie in einem Kerker, aber die Zimmer mit Fenster sind viel moderner und könnten als 3/4 Sterne Standard bewertet werden. Also stellen Sie sicher, dass sie zuerst immer das Zimmer sehen oder ein Zimmer mit Fenster bekommen. ÜBERNACHTEN SIE NICHT HIER FALLS SIE IN EINEM FENSTERLOSEN ZIMMER SIND; ES WIRD IHREN AUFENTHALT ZUR HÖLLE MACHEN!!!
- Das Hotel ist immer sehr sauber und sicher, mit Sicherheitspersonal rund um die Uhr
- Es gibt gute Einrichtugen, sowie Schönheitsbehandlungen, sehr billige Massagen, 24 stunden internet zugang und ein sehr gutes Thai Restaurant, das jeden Abend einen Film auf der großen Leinwand zeigt.
- Der Pool in der obersten Etage ist der größte Vorzug, denn es gibt dort eine Bar und es ist der Platz untertags in Bangkok überhaupt, denn es wird gute Musik gespielt und auch Essen serviert.
Saubere, schöne Unterkunft
Wir waren über Weihnachten 2005 hier in einem Doppelzimmer. Das Hotel ist sehr schön, sauber und hat freundliches Personal in einer hervorragenden Lage.
Wir haben nach einem Zimmer an der ruhigen Seite gefragt, wegen der lauten Khao San Straße und unser Zimmer war ruhig genug, um zu schlafen. Im Zimmer gab es keine Fenster, aber einen privaten Balkon mit Balkontüre.
Das Hotel ist für seinen Service nicht teuer. Die Thai Massage ist ein Muss wenn man ins D&D fährt und der Zimmerservice ist auch sehr gut. Schwimmbad auf der Dachterasse, was will man mehr?
Be careful! This hotel accused us of having made a burnmark in the sheet, and tried to have us paid for a new sheet. Maybe they have
put this in system. Outside the window there where condoms, cigarettes and other junk. This is not representative for Thailand, but destroyed our holiday in Bangkok.
Clean, nice place
We were staying at D&D at christmastime 2005 in a double room. The hotel is very nice, clean, has a friendly staff and excellent situation. We asked for a room from the quiet side, because of the noisy street Khao San Road and ou room was quit enough to have a nice sleep. The room had no window, but it had it´s own balcony with balconydoor. The place is not expensive compared to the service. The thaimassage is a must when you go to D&D and also the roomservice is very good. Swimmingpool on rooftop, what else do you want?
Budget Brillaince!
I felt I had to write this after reading the other reviews on the D & D Inn! Myself & 3 friends began our world trip at the D & D & we loved it! As bangkok was our base we stayed at the D & D on 3 seperate occasions when in Bangkok & loved it each time! We opted for a VIP room (but still a steal compared to usual accomo prices!) which gave a huge room, en suite, Koh Sarn Road view & clean towels & linen. The food is good value & it really is in a great position! A friend of ours stayed at the Koh San Palace & said it was disgusting! D & D is defo the best option for any backpacker! And the roof top pool is a winner! D & D Rocks!
Mixed reviews
I have stayed at the D & D about 5 different times and have had different experiences, mainly good but also bad!!The D& D is perfectly located on the Koh San Road and really has its pros and cons, here they are: -
-The staff can sometimes be very rude and abrupt, and will try and make you buy the most expensive room, always ask to look at what room you are buying
-They have 2 types of rooms, the windowless rooms are a disgrace and feels like you are in a prison cell, however the rooms with windows are much more modern and pass for a 3/4* standard. So always make sure you check the room first or request a window room. DO NOT STAY IN THE HOTEL IF YOU HAVE A WINDOWLESS ROOM IT WILL SPOIL THE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!
- The hotel is always very clean and safe to stay in, with secuirty 24 hours a day
- They offer great facilities, such as beauty treatments, massages very cheaply, 24 hour internet access, and a very nice thai restaurant which plays movies every night on a big screen
- The swimming pool on the top floor is its greatest advantage, as they have a bar and its the place to be in Bangkok during the day as they play good music and also serve food.
Just what we needed
Having had a nasty experience with a brothel masquerading as a hostel in Sukhumvit we headed for the D&D, and it was great. The check in staff are a little abrupt, but we were shown around two rooms, had our bags brought up for us and had no problems whatsoever. We had to extend our stay as my boyfriend became ill but throughout the 7 days we spent there the staff were polite and helpful, making up the room when we wanted it and leaving us in peace when we didn't. The room was big but windowless, but you don't go to Bangkok to look out of the window. The bed was huge and comfortable, the bathroom was always cleaned and the aircon worked brilliantly. The rooftop bar and pool are perfect for chilling out in and sell the best watermelon shakes ever. It might be more expensive than the competition but it more than makes up for it by being clean, comfortable and well placed. Would highly recommend it as an alternative to trudging around the other guesthouses trying to save a few bhat - well worth it!
A prison for tourists
We stayed here following recomendations from friends- after an exhaustingly long trip we arrived at the D&D Inn expecting an ok room- but instead it just made me want to cry! A windowless prison cell is the only was I could explain it. The bathroom was alright but apart from that cement walls and a THIN dirty bed covered in stains and cigarette holes meeted us- hm nice. The towels and bed linen stank and there were constantly noisy people going past the door- a nasty nasty horrible dirty place!!!!!
We loved the D&D
We were very apprehensive of staying at this B&B, particulary as it was on the infamous Kohsan Road. From the outside, the hotel looks very basic, however as soon as we were inside the hotel we were greated by the friendly staff and shown to our very clean and comfortable room. The hotel was surprisingly quiet considering it's location, and the view from the rooftop bar is great. I would strongly recommend this hotel for anyone on a budget.
Rudeness beyond belief
I'm afraid i have to write this review due to the appalling way myself and my travelling companion were treated on a stopover in Bangkok. There was a mis-communication between staff and ourselves. We though we were checking into a twin room, which turned out to be a double. We explained the mixup and asked for a refund straight away. We were told that we wouldn't get anywhere. When we insisted on a refund so we could stay elsewhere as they had no other room, they said they would blacklist us on the Kosan Road and that they would make sure we did not get accommodation anywhere else. I was completely taken aback and had never been spoken to in such a manner especially as we were not agressive or rude in our tone. Based on this appalling customer service that i would advise all travellers to Bangkok to stay away from the D&D hotel.

Despite the certainty of the dueling Linda Lovelace biopic up in the air, the other one is moving forward with full steam. Today we've got a new poster for Lovelace, the biopic of the '70s pornstar from Howl directors Rob Epstein and Jerry Friedman. Starring Amanda Seyfried, one can see Peter Sarsgaard, Juno Temple, James Franco, Sharon Stone, and many more as you can see below. Following that comes a biopic of a different kind, with the first sales art for Ron Howard's Formula 1 racing drama Rush, starring The Avengers, Snow White and the Huntsman, The Cabin In The Woods star Chris Hemsworth. He portrays James Hunt, while Daniel Brühl plays his rival Formula 1 racer Niki Lauda and the cast also includes Olivia Wilde and Christian McKay.
We've also got posters for two different independent, festival films starring the excellent Elizabeth Olsen, who broke out in Martha Marcy May Marlene last year. Premiering at Sundance (our review here), this first poster for Josh Radnor's Happythankyoumoreplease follow-up Liberal Arts was floating around the fest but is now in high-resolution. While I enjoyed that film, there isn't much to like about her other indie Peace, Love & Misunderstanding. I posted some thoughts with the trailer, but this new poster certainly matches the lackluster effort Bruce Beresford displayed behind the camera. There's also a new, atrociously Photoshoped poster for Predisposed starring Melissa Leo, Tracy Morgan and Jesse Eisenberg. We didn't get chance to see at Sundance, but I certainly hope it is better than its marketing materials.
Lastly we've got a poster for The Amazing Spider-Man, which looks nearly identical the rest. You already know everything there is to know about this movie and you'll learn even more this week with a new trailer debut, so let's get on with it and see all the posters below via Latino Review/IMPAwards.
Which film are you most-anticipating? What is your favorite poster?
To begin, a cliché (albeit one that's true): a great first scene will tell you how to watch the rest of the movie. Not necessarily who is important to the story, or what the major themes will be, but instead rhythms, what to look for in a shot, and ways to interpret meaning (which is […]

Ever have one of those experiences where you walk past something, then three or four steps later your brain kicks in. As you slowly turn your head to figure out why your brain told you to stop in the first place, you again see what it was that caught your eye, surrounded in an almost angelic glow. Once you lock eyes with it, you just can't seem to look away, and you have to get closer to verify what exactly it is you are looking at. Antec is delivering exactly that today!
With more and more cases being placed in the market, it makes buying choices much tougher than they were, say even three years ago. Then there were a select few that everyone stood by as the top three or four cases you would really enjoy working in and looking at. More companies are offering Aluminum based chassis', and almost everyone has a case designed with high air flow in mind; some with and some without lighting. So what does it take these days to set yourself apart from the crowd and make heads snap back to double take on what your brain just processed?
To answer this, Antec went way back into the designing process and redesigned this chassis piece by piece from the ground up. Let me set the general tone of this design. Think of a chassis in its most basic form, almost as an Erector Set. On this basic frame, panels are made with the idea of offering the best air flow and cooling potential possible in a mid tower, and they don't stop there. Based off the name alone, this chassis needs to be able to take a few bumps and bruises along the way, and soon you will see that Antec has come up with some ingenious solutions for us to play with. Keep in mind the three key features of this new chassis. Modularity, customizability, and flexibility is what Antec took to heart as they designed the LanBoy Air.
Today we are going to be looking at the blue version of this chassis; enjoy what you are about to see!
