D12, Hedo Turgolu, Ray Allen and a New Coach would be awsome...
its looking bad! .... We hit a wall in our offense (Ivaronie predictable style), the uneducated are crying for C. LEE!! lol ...while not comprehending the TRUE outcome of not making the right deal....and the MUST of getting to the Western finale and do better than the lakers
its a fact! ...the way we are looking, its bad!! i mean the avg fan can pretty much tell you the play before it happens, ... but thats a whole different topic involving 1 of the dumbest coach to ever step on the hardwood floor..
M. ivaronie (big man coach too unfortunately)
but lets go on "the way its going"
we end up 6th- 7th seed...out 1st round, cp3 does not see the light at the end of the tunnel and does not sign that extension aaand then "WHO GETS CP3 NEXT YEAR" begins.......ALL THE DOMINOS FALL!
Blake in 2014 WILL SAY ADIOS TO US TOO
the window is small people!.....Fans need to start comprehending that
omg this is not a rant, its a new topic......
i miss the old topbuzz clips ......before the everyday posters posted just to be moderator instead of going outside
Not really a rant or anything just want to say we missed out on gerald green dude dropped back to back 26 points games. Green>simmons
I am not going to any more home games this season till we win 4 out of 5. I wanted to throw up. Some azzole was yelling "let's go Lakers" Fortunately he wasn't close because I probably would have clocked him. Popeye had a saying that expresses my feelings for LAL fans, "Well blow me down" He was referring to a strong wind that tipped boats, not a sexual act.
The loss to PHX was inexcusable. Since Chauncey went down we're one of the worst teams in the league. When Baron chose to play we were a lot better. This team couldn't beat its own carne. CP3 has done nothing. We lose because someome turns over the ball (read CP3) We fail to guard three point shooters Love and Farmar when a two would tie and the only way we lose is with a three. We lose to PHX without Nash and Hill.
Sorry guys this is not all VDN's fault. We got out coached? So what. That's no reason for THE TEAM (CP3?) to blow a lead like that. I had more fun watching Keith Kloss and Pike. At least you knew they were fu*kups. This team very well may not make the PO's. I don't care what's wrong. The LA Sparks could beat this team. CP is probably gone if we don't make the PO's and go to the second round. Why should he stay? Chauncey will retire or sign with Denver. KMart's gone.
What players should we go after?
Keep Gomes. Get Cookie back. He's a FA. Get him for gas money and Wetzel Dogs.
Although the numbers don't match. trade BG for Lamar and Mo' for Novak. Trade DJ for cheerleaders who will perform naked.
Bledsoe, Novak, Gomes, Lamar and Cookie. Yeah Novak ain't a SG but who cares, he plays like a ruptured duck anyway
We now have a team who can fu*k up in ways you've never imagined (like our present team) but at least you'll pop a chubby watching the naked girls.
I forgot. Trade Mike Smith for Stewed Lance and Ralph Lawler for Jerry "the King" Lawler so we keep the Law. -- Anybody who plays the Clippers wins.
I love you but adios CTB
Bulls Rule
This might be the only year in about a decade that I actually like other teams more than the clippers. Blake's demeanor is starting to irritate me very much. Hey Blake, instead of making dumb faces and acting like a girl, why not just suck it up and play hard! Chris Paul isn't the player I thought he'd be. He's no where to be found for 3/4ths of the game and tries to make up for it in the 4th quarter, which teams obviously have led on to. Deandre? Don't even get me started. He has 1 good game out of 5 and hasn't improved his game one bit. As for the coach, i've held my tongue for the whole season and kept giving him chances and chances but the loss yesterday drove me over the edge. A team like the Clippers needs structure and focus. We have too many good players that are being used inefficiently.
On the plus side, I really, really like Reggie Evans this year. You can tell he works hard every single game and his confidence is growing on the offensive end.
Also, Mo Williams is great coming off the bench. I feel like he should be our leader in terms of being vocal on the court.
I still can't get over the fact that we gave away a future all-star point guard in Irving. He is amazingly clutch and is a fantastic shooter. Olshey done an amazing job with these recent trades but trading Irving is always going to be a black mark on his record.
Now I know we have a championship roster and I know that we got CP3, but I worry we won't get a good coach. I still have nightmare of the day Larry Brown was release by Sterling even though he coach our team to a very good season. Those memories haunt me to this day and I don't know if Sterling really has change his way. He still CHEAP, should have gotten Casey over Negro, or we should have gotten a HOF coach the moment CP3 was on the team.
What do you guys think about this situation? Do you think Sterling has change his way? I am not sure, I would be more shock if we got a good coach than getting a superstar pg like CP3. All I know is no good coach, and CP3 walk.
Wish Cuban was the Clippers owner instead...
With the Irving trade it was a bad draft(aside for Irving) so Olshey figured trade that pick(which wasn't #1 yet but in the lottery)and get rid of Baron Davis and his bad contract and attitude.And Mo was needed at the time.New Orleans probably would've wanted him this summer anyways so dont worry about it but Irving can play.
As far as Donald who knows really
Hey, for once Donald is not at fault. He spending money he need used to. Right now, the timing is not right for coaching change. HOwever, win or lose tonight games, VDN must go. Its getting bad. On Irving, he was a luck of draw. Who knew with Baron Davis, I don't think we would get Kyle Irving. It was luck guys, deal with it about Irving.
Not sure where Sterling is at fault what so ever. We got CP3 he paid to bring in butler. The only real problem is VDN. It was a bad decision should have been casey like I wanted. VDN may end up being a good coach but he should have been a assistant for a some years before ever given the bulls job. When he was fired from the bulls it was because of his X's and O's. It showed last year he didnt know what he is doing and this year as well.
Once again not sterlings fault
We should stop the whole we traded baron AND irving for mo thing. it wasnt like that. it never was. Had we kept the pick it was going to be the 8th pick. any gm would have done the same.
that pick became the 1ST pick only to cover up what was THE MOST embarrassing moment of the history of the sport.."i take my talents to south yada yada yada".....
It was a LONG SHOT that the pick became a #1 pick. That's why people think the NBA is fixed. I just think Cleveland got lucky and good for them. If they didn't have Irving, they would be the Bobcats.
We traded Baron's CONTRACT away. That was most important and we got Mo.
I'm not going to waste a thread on this, because apparently if you get thumbs down votes on your threads you can't post for like a month...
But I was checking NFl mock drafts today and it got me thinking about the NBA draft in a few months. According to 1 site were slotted to take 6'7" 230lb LeBryan Nash from Oklahoma State with pick 54 in round 2. He's a projected top 10 pick in 2013, and was I believe the #1 or in the top 10 as far as college recruits go for the class of 2011. His talent is retarded and if we somehow landed this kid in round 2, it would easily fill the void that Butler would start to have as he aged more and potentially left in a couple years.
And as to why I brought this up, if we change coaches at the end of the year the Clippers need to get the F going BEFORE the draft happens and sign a coach. Waiting can really hurt even if were only picking in mid/late round 2.
the problem with this team is that they don't play team basketball they have super stars and they play like their the only player that can win the game last night they had a chance and paul felt only he could win it double teamed and triple teamed he wouldn't pass. there were others open kobe is learning sometimes you have to be a fascilitator
Kobe only learned that because he isn't as athletic as he used to be and doesn't have Shaq in his prime around to save his ass. Now he has to play team basketball, and all you ever see him do is cry and attempt to play it off like he's not crying about it...
Bump... this thread has enormous utility
how am i supposed to get 50 posts if i can't comment on every single thread? i get it that it is essential for moderation, but i don't want to spam my fb accounts with news feeds every time i want to comment on something..
Bullock looks like he's going to develop into a very nice player. Summers looked good. Samuels had his moments. Wayns did a decent job........but, damn. I was hoping Jajuan Johnson would get some PT. He barely played. I was excited when he finally got to play, but within seconds he turned the rock over. But then he looked good.......knocked a mid-range J down and took another one to the basket.......but there's no way he'll make the team with that little PT. I'm pissed...
I'm not complaining nor ranting but this is not worth a new thread...
Did you guys know we led the league in technicals, 101 in the regular season. 2nd place was OKC at 95. 3rd place was 77. Spur and Heat combined had less than 70. Very interesting. Probably another team record!
I think a lot of it is the fact that our guys were mad half the time because the refs were allowing teams to try to end Blake's career on a nightly basis.
I remember one of the first really hard fouls on Griffin was Brendan Haywood clotheslining him. It was on Around the Horn and Bill Plaschke said something along the lines of Blake needing to "toughen up."
You can't just hack him like an animal and use the "Welcome to the NBA" rationale.
Blake Griffin plays a hell of a lot better when he's running up and down the court instead of hanging back complaint to refs and get T'd up. He's and animal when he puts his head down works to get buckets. There are times when a lake Griffin isn't soft and he will knock you off your stance and score. I want this see this Blake Girdfin every night, time to be a co captain of this team and play with authority
My laker fan friends always hates when he puts his head down lol and always talk smack on he shoots
If this thread is to complain, my complaint are the pics on top of this page. There is Caron (not on team), EBled (not on team), Lamar (may not be on team), and Chauncy (not on team). Who is responsible for updating page? Let's get Reggie, JJ, Dudley, and Collison on top.
Dribble penetration is killing us. It's really hard to tell if Blake and DJ are doing bad or good, since everyone gets to penetrate the paint. I know they have to rotate and help the helper, but I think I only saw Collison fight through a few screens last night. It was a back to back, but this has been an issue all season. Our bigs show on picks but are they paying attention to what is going on, because sometimes it seems like they are just going through the motions.
When we are on offensively, we can beat anyone. With that said, the games I have been most impressed with are the few that our defense has been playing well. I think we have done well defensively against teams that play a lot of iso and don't generally have any type of system. We have also done great against teams that we are supposed to do great against other than charlotte, the game in Orlando, and I can't remember the other game off the top of my head.
We rank 24th in points in the paint allowed (http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/opponent-points-in-paint-per-gam e), but we rank second in opponent fast break points per game. I don't know what to think about DJ and Blake, because I feel they have to many responsibilities on our team defensively. We are giving our two youngest starters the most responsibility on defense. Which is fine but everyone has to do their part defensively. I've said it before we can't expect our bigs to watch their man, the man they have to rotate to, as well as the player dribbling into the paint on the majority of plays.
It's the wings that suck on defense and Blake is playing poor defense is well. Dj is having to cover for everyone.
DJ is not covering for everyone. he hedges on defense too much. That isn't a bad thing but when he's basically in no-man's land ( to far from his man and too far to make the dribbler take notice) he leaves the defense exposed. They go back door on him easily, or he puts himself in a position where he can't defend the penetrator. Or he just watches the man score. heck,. i am tired of him just watching players score on him where he has enough time to at least get his hands up but just watches as the man scores. BG is also playing horrible defense so all the DJ defenders can spare me the "what about the others". BG in my book, gets a pass for now. he's doing so much other things whereas DJ just has to worry about 2 things that we are comparing apples and oranges.
With that said, DJ is having his best season by far, but he is supposed to be the last line of defense and judging by how much scoring is done in the paint, it mainly falls on DJ.
WE SUCKED yesterday major SUCK defense bad offense bad defense horrible defense even more terrible offense and crazy lax defense! This is un******ing believable, WORST Game of the entire damn season, cause OUR defense is SUpposed to get BETTER, THat was the worst setback I have ever seen! Griffin was TOTALLY LOST on defense, at least he made shots, but our guards were SHT, our team was SHT everything was SHT that Warriors were just sweeping up like damn GARBAGE!
I am pissed about the Dodgers making me print my own tickets this year the cheap bastards
,wait,this is about the Clippers?
Then I am pissed we looked like 3rd rate chumps last night. Cancel every effing TNT game for the rest of the year.
I'm not saying that he doesn't have room to grow, but you can't just put it on DJ. DJ has to worry about the penetrator, the roll man, anybody that wasn't boxed out (that's everybody last night), getting the rebound because nobody else is apparently going to do it, and not to mention anybody else that might be close to the paint. I agree that he gives on plays that a lot of times seem like he has a chance, but can you blame him. If he gets in foul trouble we have to go with Hollins, unless you want to have Blake handle offensive and defensive duties. My point with the amount of dribble penetration we give up as a team, I don't think there is a center in the league that can do much better.
Hibbert is the best defensive center in the league in my opinion, but look who he has defending the perimeter. George and Stephenson are great perimeter defenders. Duncan has Kawhi, Noah has Butler, Chandler at least has Shumpert, Gasol has Allen and Conley (even Prince has been a decent defender).
Who on our roster would you consider a good defender? CP3 when he is focused (which in my opinion is only when he wants to make a point, like when he plays Vasquez), maybe last years Matt Barnes.
In my opinion DJ is still lacking in one on one skills, and that is something that he should have on lock. David Lee should not be able to post up and get easy baskets against DJ. I would say that I've seen it with most decent big men too, not just Lee. He started off better in this area, but still feel we put too much defensive responsibility on one player.
I have a friend that lives in Nebraska and I turned her into a Clipper fan 2 seasons ago. All she gets to see are TNT games and ESPN games. How sad for her?
@FightOnRon, my little bro is stationed in Louisiana so that is all he sees too. I tell him how good the Clippers are looking and how they should make a serious run this year. Then he sees that disaster from last night.
I hope KG retires next year and comes over as Doc's staff. We need a big man to mentor our bigs. I say even hire Camby this year, I think he has had some of the best influence on DJ in the past.
thank your bro for his service.
The other scary things are,will playoffs be on TNT and ESPN? How will we fare then?
I agree. It is almost not fair to criticize Blake because he too has improved and is playing great on offense. But Both DJ and BG are out of position so much on d it isn't funny. Blake doesn't seem to care about rebounds. He is in "no-mans land" so much after a shot is in the air, ball watching. He doesn't box-out or attempt to rebound. It is frustrating.
@FightOnRon will do.
I think we do ok on ESPN, but doesn't it always seem like we are on TNT during a difficult time of the schedule.
Does anybody else find it a bit irritating when Ralph Lawler says BINGO when an opponent scores a three.It's great when Clippers score,the other team not so much.
I don't want to give up either, but these guys need to find their heart and play with it. I got upset when they complained about the fans not cheering loud enough at the Bulls game... well we can't cheer missed shots and turnovers.
That ALWAYS annoyed me. Didn't make sense.
Please get rid of Dj. I don't want to get stuck with him long term at anything more than 10mil per year. I don't know how much better we would be with horford and Blake upfront but at least horford has some offensive skills and doesn't giggle after he banks in his second free throw after air balling his first. Dj is such garbage. He never does anything when it matters and his stats are way overrated. Dj would have to be our 4th or 5th best player for us to have a shot at a championship.
I really don't know what we can do fix this team. Cp and Blake are both undersized and Blake needs to be called out for playing garbage defense and not rebounding enough. Chris needs to play better to, but i feel like he gets the most out of his natural athletic ability. CP and Blake aren't going anywhere without a serious size and athletic upgrade SG and SF. We need to make some type of move though.
We need to hire JERRY WEST to be our GM. He's so underrated as an executive. He built the Lakers, The Grizzlies, and Now Golden State. If golden state can upgrade David Lee via trade, theres no way we are going to beat them. Besides curry They're hole team is like 6'6'-6'9 of young dynamic players. Klay, Barnes, Iggy, Livingston, Green, Rush!! Theres no way our reddick, crawford, and barnes is matching up with them. Green and Lee will punk soft as Blake like they always do. OUCH!
I don't think we could win more than one game against Memphis in the playoffs. Our defense sucks and Marc Gasol will DESTROY Dj on both ends. Zbo is manhandling blake(again). Conley is a push with paul and Tony allen is locking up whatever inconsistent wing we throw out there.
Spurs are too good for us.
Healthy Okc will beat us this year.
Portland will be a really tough series
Dallas will probably beat us
Maybe we can beat houston. MAYBE.
This team isn't built for championship contention. We are like the nash suns. Were better off just running and gunning and hope we get hot in the playoffs. CP3 is our best player and He's a great player and i love him, but no one else on the team besides crawford is capable of creating shots or has the balls to take them.. Whenever we play a good team the rest of the guys have that deer in headlights empty stare when it comes down to the fourth quarter. They start crying to the refs, Dj starts blaming the wings for making mistakes on defense when he himself isn't much of a defender. Chris needs the ball way too much. Cp really needs to improve his 3point shooting. Reddick and Cp are too small to guard anyone. The SF spot is like a giant black hole in space. Hedo better get back on some juice because he's the best chance we got at the 3. Deandre the magician with greatest disappearing act ever seen. Bg the most athletic scared jump shooter in the league. Blah Blah Blah.
Doc needs to call these guys out. We need to make trade or get some rumors out there with Millwaukee or some other shithole so guys get scared straight into finding some god damn pride and passion. Maybe Matt Barnes needs to slap the crap out these little crybaby premadonnas on this team.
I agree with this comment we need to change dj and get another style of line up to have the best chance to compete with the rest of the west.
DJ has no offenisve game whatsover except dunks!
We should've gotten corey brewer or jeff green.
I've read like two three comments and man! A bunch of whiners here... This isn't freaking fantasy sports fellas. Yes GM's can make bad moves to ruin futures but let's be real here. Jeff Green our anybody else worth more than 6mil is out of the? Unless we realize this year isn't our year and we plan for the future. Which means trade Jamal because he is old as you no what and will get hurt soon and yes trade DJ. I've mention the whole DJ thing before with much skeptism but it seems now people are coming to the realization this club may not be good enough. I still think we have a chance pending Doc's next move or two but the whole DJ thing is serious. Letting DJ hit FA and some dumb club offering a max will be a nightmare especially if we match it. I've said and a lot of you that DJ if anything has been overpaid much of his deal and to get more money for older legs and the hope he develops an offensive game is dangerous. DJ at 10 mil a year I'm ok with especially when the cap increases but DJ above that will hamper the Clips for a long time. I've mention a sinario of trading DJ now for a position of need and get a stud SF and maybe a 1st to boot. And then this off season go hardcore lol at Gasol... Oh I've been fancying this in my mind today. Trade our future 1st of 2019 for MCW and try to convert him to SF and if not worse case have him for a really good back PG to be our future stater post CP3 era... Huh?
I am not too impressed with the Clippers opening introductions....(1) its way too long, (2) its too much like a rave show, (3) it lacks powerful shock and awe that I want, and (4) it's not original and creative.
You guys are insane! Without DJ's rebounding and rim protection this team doesn't even make the playoffs let alone contend for a title. Sure we'll just insert Hawes into the starting lineup that'll win us a lot of games LOL!
I think it is stupid too. I liked the ones with the flaming basketball being tossed around,but this current one is "must-not-see" TV. Good time to take a bathroom break.
THe other thing, since this is a rant,why are Clipper fans too lazy to stand until the first point is made, as we are being asked to do? You'll be sitting for 2+ hours,spend 2 minutes on your feet. It will help prevent blood clots.
I honestly can't believe the Clippers lost. I really thought they had it. It's like destiny, or fate....so hard to understand or grasp. Up 3-1 and they still couldn't close it out. Did the Clippers give it up, or get out played by the dominant team?
Our 29th ranked bench finally started to hurt us.
This is a reservation I have about the future of the Clippers, not centred on our talent, trade acquisitions, or coaching principles. I fear that Chris Paul's energy on the court is not a positive one. And I wonder how destructive his energy may be to the morale and synergy of the team as a whole.
Let me start by saying that Chris Paul is my favourite player in the league. He is a genius at both ends of the court. His every movement smooth as silk, and his impact on the game is truly outstanding. He is a superstar of the modern game.
But Chris Paul's brilliance may be tainted by the impact he has on his teammates. Despite being an incredible play maker, the most intelligent distributor of the ball, and the league's best defender at his position, Paul's character as a member of his team leaves a lot to be desired. He is not very nice to his opponents, nor to his teammates.
Chris Paul is a leader who paves the way for his teammates to thrive, but he is a resentful leader. He sees his teammate's weaknesses, and doesn't forgive them when they don't deliver. Chris may see his team mates as objects, whose sole role is to assist him in winning his championship. It is difficult for any leader of a team to see his role players underperform, but instead of offering lightness and faith to his teammates in dire times, Chris becomes more self-absorbed and less forgiving of his teammates. Kind of reminds me of MJ in his early years with the Bulls.
It is no wonder Blake and DJ have been quoted as having to 'tune Chris out' when his on court demeanour becomes overbearing.
I see a team with tremendous talent, and with more talent on the way. But I can't help but worry that Chris' on-court presence (and perhaps his general attitude toward life, people, and winning) makes him not the ideal candidate for his leadership role. Negativity and distrust coming from the leader of a group surely filters down to all of his teammates and the culture of the team as a whole.
Just some food for thought
^ i would have to wake up more to respond to this,but what first caught my brain was substitute the word "kobe" everywhere the word "Chris " is used and it sounds like the same guy..........mostly.
The overbearing leaders are good when you win but when you lose they can tire you out. Its not a bad or good thing really.

Ghost Ride is all about confronting the ghosts that haunt us deep within. The specter of doubt and fear. That's what riders were able to defeat at Ghost Ride, led by Josh Taylor, during this year's WSSC (World Spinning® and Sports Conditioning) Conference in Miami, Florida. Check out our beautiful slide show, recap of the ride, and video by clicking below.
- July 2014 - How to Keep Spinning® Comfortable
New to Spinning® classes? Here are a few recommendations to overcome those initial discomforts new riders may experience riding in their first Spinning class.
- February 2014 - 'Watt's' It All About
You love your Spinning® classes and love teaching too. You have probably managed to get 15-20% of your riders to wear heart rate monitors but the rest of your class are quite happy to just rate their perceived exertion in order to gauge their intensity. The challenge we, as instructors, will always face is providing real results to our riders. Yes, initially results do come thick and fast if Spinning is a new form of exercise, but then the dreaded plateau shows its face and no matter how to try to guide them to eat right, and hit the right heart rate or RPE, their results don't shine through as they once did. For some riders this leveling off can have a great effect on their performance and goal setting, not to mention confidence.
- October 2013 - Marketing Your Spinning® Program
Running a Spinning® Program is serious business as well as a lot of fun. Individuals come to fitness facilities with a variety of goals—many join with the hope of losing weight, others join to become and stay fit, while others enjoy the social aspect of group exercise. Your first goal should be to help your members achieve their goals.
- July 2013 - Light Your Way to Increased Profits
It's no coincidence that top restaurant owners hire lighting designers as well as world-class chefs, and the overall dining experience is what creates loyal customers. Your studio is similar to a restaurant, and the rides you "serve" will taste better in an environment that creates intimacy, energy, empowerment and, yes, loyalty. Read on to learn more about how indoor studio lighting can improve profits from Barbara Hoots, owner of Indoor Cycling Design.

South Carolina's state government needs to move into the 21st century, but to do that it first must move into the 20th century. That means our state must adopt the sleeker, more accountable form of government that was the model in every other state during the last century.
It is time the state Legislature get its act together, stop playing political games and pass a restructuring bill that overhauls our state's antiquated system of government.
In particular though, the state Senate must stop delaying this restructuring bill, and if the entire body cannot get on board, reform-minded senators must work together — regardless of their political party — to stop the never-ending delaying tactics of powerful senators who simply do not want reform to happen.
A restructuring bill once again is moving through the state Senate. As with previous ones it will abolish that dinosaur-like creature known as the state Budget and Control Board and replace it with something more practical and reasonable known as the Department of Administration. This should have been done last year, or the year before, or the year before that. It absolutely should be done this year.
The Budget and Control Board is an innocent-sounding name for a device that squeezes executive power from the duly elected governor of South Carolina.
Most governors have executive powers in other states that allow them to do what a chief executive should, and that includes overseeing administrative functions.
The bill now in the state Senate would fix this mess. Whether it makes it out is the chief concern. Sen. Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, chairs the Finance Committee and he is not recognized as a fan of this restructuring. Recently he prevailed in getting a good bill that had already passed the Senate Judiciary Committee sent to his Senate Finance Committee.
A restructuring bill almost passed last year. Weak state senators allowed the governor's nemesis, Jake Knotts, to block the final vote by running out the clock as the last minutes evaporated for the legislative session. Those senators refused to use their power to make Knotts shut up and sit down. He was the only incumbent senator defeated in the 2012 general election.
Our state deserves more responsible government. Taxpayers deserve to know who is in charge so they can hold that person accountable. Voters must make sure their senator and representative help get this bill through this year.

DENVER � Democrats moved to ban concealed weapons from most areas of college campuses Wednesday as they marched ahead with their gun-control bills.
House Bill 1226 passed the House Education Committee on a 7-6 vote, with all Democrats in favor and all Republicans opposed.
Wednesday�s hearing continued with the overarching theme of this year�s debate: Do armed residents make a place safer or more dangerous?
Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, sponsored the bill and said college is no place for guns. She said her bill would not prevent mass shootings, but it would guard against everyday acts of violence and suicide.
�No law can prevent someone bent on destruction from accomplishing what they intend to accomplish,� Levy said. �We can try at least to prevent or minimize risks that arise on a daily basis from the mere presence of guns.�
The bill prohibits people who hold concealed-weapon permits from bringing their guns into any college building, stadium or outdoor event at a college where the administration has decided to ban guns.
It addresses a 2012 state Supreme Court decision that said the University of Colorado overstepped its authority under state law by banning concealed guns from campus.
At Fort Lewis College, guns were banned from campus � except for police and security officers � before the Supreme Court ruling. Now, concealed-weapon permit holders can bring guns to campus, too.
College officials are aware of Levy�s bill but have not taken a position on it, said FLC spokesman Mitch Davis.
Testimony from several University of Colorado students and professors supported Levy.
Julie Carr, a CU-Boulder creative writing teacher, said every semester she has students with mental-health problems.
�They change their medication or they stop taking it, and they fall into various levels of anxiety or depression,� Carr said. �I want to help and teach my students and not fear them.�
But opponents contended that one person�s fear of guns should not trump another�s right to self-defense.
Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith spoke for the County Sheriffs of Colorado, which opposes most of the gun-control bills.
�People admitted that fear wasn�t backed up with statistics. It just was a fear of a gun,� Smith said.
The hearing also featured a debate about whether college students are mature enough to handle guns.
�We know statistically that kids in this age group engage in risky behavior. They binge drink. They experiment with drugs. That�s what you do when you go to college � not everybody, but statistically, that does happen,� Levy said.
Scott Hendrick, a recent Colorado State University graduate, said he is on his way to the military, and his friends have risked their lives for their country.
�Frankly, I find it extremely insulting ... to be belittled as children and say we don�t have the experience to know discretion, when the whole point of college is discretion,� Hendrick said.
It�s been a busy week for gun bills in the House.
On Wednesday, another House panel voted to apply a fee of around $10 to anyone buying a gun to pay for a background check.
And on Tuesday, a different committee advanced bills to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines and to require background checks for private-party gun sales.

To my Korean and international readers, thank you so much for all of your love and support! I would never believe in a million years that a small midwest girl like me could reach so far around the world and receive such great love and kindness back. It's a truly incredible thing to know that we can touch each other's hearts simply through a computer screen. That, to me, is magic!
I love you guys and with my humblest and joy-filled heart, I want to say thank you!

Yeah I think I'd put DJ there..either silver or bronze. Blake, JJ and DJ...er, Blake, DJ and JJ...something like that.
I thought tonight it was
Gold -Jamal
JJ - Silver
Collison -Bronze
DJ gets no love.
Clippers Vs. Warriors - 2014-01-30
Gold: Darren Collison - Only one on the team who shot efficiently besides DJ.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Scored relatively well, but very weak in other areas.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Pulled down his amount of boards again. Though he struggled with free-throws.
-------------------------Medal List-------------------------------------
Platinum Medal
Gold Medal
deandre jordan a bronze medal?!!!!
worst player today outside mullens and barnes!!
we NEED a FUQIN trade ASAP
I wouldn't give a "medal" to anyone after this game, except maybe Blake. This team sucked tonight.
Clippers Vs. Jazz - 2014-02-01
Gold: Blake Griffin - More overall numbers including a much-needed double-double.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - Stepped up big time after his clunker in Oakland.
Bronze: Darren Collison - Similar game as against the Warriors; fortunately, we won this time.
Gold: Jamal
Silver: Blake
Bronze: Collison
We were playing like sticks in the mud b4 Jamal stepped onto the floor
I would give Bronze to Turkoglu actually. Just an all-around great game by him.
Clippers Vs. Nuggets - 2014-02-03
Gold: Blake Griffin - Dominated through most of the night and ends with 36 points and 11 rebounds.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - Another nice efficient game, 5 for 8.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Actually contributes in other areas other than rebounding. Includes 2 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks.
Clippers Vs. Heat - 2014-02-05
Gold: Blake Griffin - Once again, led the Clippers with 43 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - These two were the key factors tonight. Ends with 31 points.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - 16 boards. Surprised?
Blake should get Platinum. Jamal gets gold. DJ gets Silver. The rest of the team gets the brown **** medal from my toilet that I just dropped.
This man knows what he's talking about.
DJ is clutch. This game and the Denver game, he hit his freethrows when it mattered.
I would BG was pretty platinum level. His shooting efficiency was done but he was facing double teams and also followed several of his misses with makes. Overall you can't get too much better than that.
Clippers Vs. Raptors - 2014-02-07
Gold: Blake Griffin - Yet again another 35+ point performance. Probably would have had more had he not gotten in foul trouble.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - Turns in some solid overall numbers with 21 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Have to give him credit for keep shooting at the foul line and making some of them.
I think you should put an asterisk next to the players who won a gold medal when someone else got a platinum medal.
Clippers Vs. Sixers - 2014-02-09
Gold: Blake Griffin - Proved that he could score with Chris Paul as well.
Silver: DeAndre Jordan - Might have had the biggest +/- in Clipper history with +42.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - Three from beyond the arc and includes 3 assists and 2 steals.
Clippers Vs. Blazers - 2014-02-12
Gold: Blake Griffin - Electrifies us yet again with 36 points and 10 rebounds.
Silver: Chris Paul - His first great game since the injury; 20 points and 12 assists.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - The second highest-scoring Clipper with 25.
Blake has found his unstoppableness. I know I'm looking too far down the road but he can realistically drop 30ppg next season.
Plat--DJ, certainly not his best game of the year, however, those free throws were CLUTCH BABY!
Gold--BG, dudes a beast and getting better
Silver--CP3, he's still shaking off a little rust but I'm not concerned
Bronze--JC, almost gave him the silver, he's played very well for us of late
Clippers Vs. Spurs - 2014-02-18
Gold: Blake Griffin - Come back after the all-star game as if nothing happened.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - Though there is a drop-off, Jamal is a clear second.
Bronze: Chris Paul - His determination was great, but going 1-10 was unacceptable.
DJ over chris for bronze. Bad loss that'll spark some naysayers going off. Hopefully we make a trade and it turns out to be the correct one. We will right our ship.
CP3 doesn't deserve a medal for that joke of a performance. He didn't look anything like a franchise player.
Matt Barnes scored 5 points....... Bullock scored 3 points.... Barnes was on the court 20 more minutes than Bullock.... START BULLOCK!
I don't get why blake doesn't have the ability to will a victory. I want him to be more of a ball hog when he us clearly the only one who showed up.m
Because our guards think they have to be the man down the stretch and chuck up shots.... especially Jamal.
That was the problem in a way not much ball movement at all and just about every shots by someone else was a long jumpshot
How does doc not stop that???
I'm not sure how we can give CP3 any medal for that game; not only was he 1-10, mills got 20 with him guarding a lot of the night too.
Blake Griffin Deandre Jordan Jamaal Crawford 30 thousand tons of SHT everyone else another thousand tons of SHT CHRIS PAUL! It was like we were intentionally losing! Every single time we came up let them go back up by 6.
Clippers Vs. Grizzlies - 2014-02-21
Gold: Blake Griffin - Continues streaking, this time with 28 points.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - Second highest scorer in the game.
Bronze: Chris Paul - A better game than last time, but still bad shooting.
Clippers Vs. Thunder - 2014-02-23
Gold: Jamal Crawford - Might be his most efficient 35+ game, going 13-20
Silver: Matt Barnes - About time. Tallies in 24 points and an impressive 7 rebounds
Bronze: Chris Paul - Almost a triple-double, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds.
Barnes, sort of shocking he did so well,but I guess the plane ride taught him he is next on the list without production. Nicely done. And Jamal,holy crap. They handcuff Blake (them being the refs) so Jamal goes nuts. CP3 is, well , CP3. The best PG in the NBA.
Clippers Vs. Pelicans - 2014-02-24
Gold: Jamal Crawford - 7 three-pointers, each in key sections of the game.
Silver: Chris Paul - His first efficient game (15 points on 6-10 shooting) since the injury, including 13 assists and 2 steals.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Got off to a hot start and pulled down 16 rebounds.
Chris had 19 points. Tough one but I give gold to Chris. Silver to DJ and Bronze to Crawford and honorable mention to Blake who needed to crash the glass more.
Clippers Vs. Rockets - 2014-02-26
Gold: Blake Griffin - Dominated the boards, DJ-style, and ends with 23 points and 16 rebounds.
Silver: Chris Paul - Would have liked him to be a little more efficient, but good game overall.
Bronze: Glen Davis - Terrific effort in 5 minutes.
Totally Agree!!!!!! Glen was great. Once he gets to know the system and everything it will be awesome. I would have out Darren in place of Paul though
Agreed with the Darren replacing Paul statement. He really stepped it up when the game started to get intense.
We'll probably see more of Big Baby on Saturday. I guess Doc was just trying to ease him into things. Looked great in limited time though.
Clippers Vs. Pelicans - 2014-03-01
Gold: Chris Paul - Directed the show from the start and never looked back.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Contributed 20 points, including a number of and-ones.
Bronze: Matt Barnes - Continuing his hot streak from down-town and knocks down 4 out of 8.
I think dj deserves a medal more than blake
Clippers Vs. Suns - 2014-03-04
Gold: Matt Barnes - Had a huge 3rd quarter and knocked down everything in sight.
Silver: Darren Collison - Definitely had a better game than Chris Paul.
Bronze: Blake Griffin - Shot below average, but still made a team record for most 20 points games in a row.
DJ just doesn't get any love for medals. Highest +/- 17 Boards Big FT's and Block. Don't get me wrong, Blake had a big 2nd half, but I'd take DJ over DC today without a second thought.
Blake shouldn't get a medal. He missed tons of free throws, didn't grab boards. His PER is going down -
I wish January blake was back. Dj shouldn't get one
Sorry - dj SHOULD get one
I think Blake got a medal for making Clipper history. DJ deserves one, but history trumps one day.
Yeah I agree Deandre should get a medal.
Gold for DJ's clutch FT's!

When the South Carolina Future City Regional event gets under way at USC Aiken Saturday, Danielle Ligons will serve as a judge in the preliminary rounds for the middle school-based science competition.
The recent USCA graduate knows a lot about Future City. As an eighth-grader at Ridge Spring-Monetta Elementary/Middle School a decade ago, she participated in the first regional at the university.
"It was really amazing," she said Wednesday. "We didn't know what we were getting into, as it was more involved than we expected. But we won and that was fantastic."
The Future City Regional will celebrate its 10th anniversary with the competition at USCA's Business and Education building. The contest is just what the name suggests. Middle school teams will create a city 150 years in the future as an actual model, a written description and ultimately a presentation of their work.
USCA's Ruth Patrick Science Education Center is coordinating the event once again. The winning team will receive a trip to Washington, D.C., for the national contest in February.
"We have 23 schools with 52 teams, and that's incredible," said Ruth Patrick staffer John Hutchens.
Participating schools in Aiken County include Kennedy Middle School, New Ellenton Middle School, North Augusta Middle School, LBC Middle School and Aiken Area Home Educators. Others include Merriwether Middle School from just outside of North Augusta.
The preliminary rounds will start at 11:30 a.m. and are not open to the public, although the models on display are open to visitors at all times. Three teams will be named finalists, and they will make public presentations to judges at 4 p.m., followed by the announcement of the winner and other special awards.
Mary Johnson, a New Ellenton science teacher who has coached the entire 10 years, is bringing two teams Saturday.
"The students always want to try it," she said. "They learn a lot about what to do and what has to be done. They always pull through."
The specific assignment this year is to build a city that focuses on storm water runoff. The students must decide whether to find ways to drain the water completely or keep the water and find a efficient way to use it.
In the first year of the event, Ligons' winning team went on to a larger regional in Raleigh, N.C., and finished a solid third. Then, in 2005, the USCA competition formally became the sole regional for South Caroline. Two years later, Paul Knox Middle School students Sydney Scaggs, Logan Smith and Julie Mundy took first place.
Scaggs and Smith, both now Clemson University freshmen, will join their former coach and mentor, Helen Campbell and Thomas Edison, as additional guests of the regionals staff Saturday.
Kennedy Middle School student Margo Gore got her first title a year ago with three seventh-graders – Makenzie Cude, Lacie Leach and Tyler Reedy. Makenzie and Lacie had wanted to earn a trip to the nationals ever since they were little kids. Both had gotten second place awards as sixth-graders in 2011.
"The experience (that) year helped us improve on our city a lot," Lacie said in January 2012. "We saw what it takes to win and that really matters the most."

Two Aiken men were detained for shoplifting after they allegedly tried to steal more than $150 in alcohol then led officers on a short foot chase, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Willie Lee Carter Jr., 22, of Sundy Avenue, was charged with shoplifting, three counts of failure to comply and trespass after notice.
Tremeyne Perry, 18, of Aldrich Street, was charged with shoplifting, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and failure to comply. Because the incident happened less than a half mile from the USC Aiken campus, Perry was also charged with possession with intent to distribute within a half mile of a school.
Both men were placed in the Aiken County detention center, where they remained on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident happened about 4 p.m. Thursday at the Walmart on Richland Avenue. The two men were seen running from the store after they allegedly tried to steal 47 alcoholic beverages valued at about $157, according to the report.
Perry was apprehended by an officer at the SRP bank nearby, according to the report. Carter continued to flee, disregarding commands to stop, according to the report.
Officers, including an off-duty state trooper, pursued Carter across Richland Avenue and into a wooded area behind the Econo Lodge, according to the report. Officers continued down University Parkway and stopped Carter as he exited the woods near Sports Plus Rehabilitation.
The two men allegedly filled a cart with beer and wine and tried to exit the store without paying, according to the report. When confronted by a loss prevention officer, they fled the scene.
While searching Carter, officers found a large, plastic bag containing three smaller plastic bags, each containing a green, leafy, plant-like substance, according to the report.
Perry was on trespass notice for the Richland Avenue Walmart due to a previous shoplifting incident, according to the report.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

We provide strategic guidance and flawless execution for companies of all sizes interested in igniting their brand online.
Our services include search engine optimization, internet marketing and e-commerce consulting with a laser focus on building revenues, profits and ROI.
Our Invitation to Engage in a Dialog
As more and more business connections are made in the digital space, companies that fail to optimize their brand's presence online are in peril of becoming modern-age dinosaurs. And while there will always be companies who attribute their success to word-of-mouth and repeat customers, these channels will become increasingly replaced or supplanted altogether by web sources.
One can trace a majority of this migration to the web to demographics: younger people who have grown up without phone books and who don't have the same over-the-back-fence relationships look to the Internet for their news, their information, their relationships and their entertainment. It is only natural, then, that they would trust this medium above all to engage with commercially.
As the online world grows, the opportunities to conduct business online become more populous and more varied. The number of places to engage with potential customers is growing exponentially. You have to be able to find where your prospects are spending time online and maximize your presence in those zones. A multi-dimensional web presence is often called for which means not only search, but ecommerce, content marketing and social engagement. Companies need help navigating these different venues as most do not have the time or the talent to be able to effectively evaluate the opportunities, risks and options when it comes to online marketing.
Choosing an online marketing partner for your business should be based on experience, skills and vision. Very few marketing companies can fill all three and the most difficult is finding one that will share your vision for your company's success.
The first step is to engage in meaningful dialog to get acquainted and assess strengths, weaknesses and what to do to grow your bottom line.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
The Garden Club of Durango held its pre-Valentine�s Day tea Wednesday ensconced in the Victorian decor of the General Palmer Hotel, and boy, did they dress for the occasion.
It was a veritable fashion show of hats from Victorian days to more modern vintages.
Member Shirley Spangsberg doesn�t just grow and photograph some of the most beautiful roses in town, she carried a rosy handbag, wore a beautiful silk rose and wore a rose-bedecked hat she had made herself in the 1960s. (I should mention that I have a soft spot for Spangsberg because she was my Girl Scout Troop leader when I was in grade school. It�s always great to see her.)
Nancy Greif, one of the hostesses for the tea, was all decked out in a riding hat with black veil, her great-grandmother�s earrings and a beautiful brooch that is set to become a family heirloom itself.
President Marsha Schuetz was sporting a glamorous Victorian-style hat made by Gussied Up Gal, which had the innovative approach of embroidery on the inside of the turned up brim with a rose nestled against her cheek.
Members were asked the question, �What is a crumpet, anyway?� in the invitation. Fortunately, for those, like me, who had heard of them but never really eaten one, crumpets were on the menu. (A crumpet is a small yeast bread similar to English muffins, but they�re not split.)
The other hostesses who joined Greif in preparing a full-on tea were Karen Mordi, Jean Richards and Helen Winfrey. Along with the aforementioned crumpets, coffee, black tea, oolong tea and green tea, they served both plain and cranberry scones with clotted cream and jam, cupcakes with orange, strawberry and chocolate frosting, madeleines, mini-shortbread squares, raspberry thumbprint cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolates from Paris and fruit for those who had any regret at all about indulging in such scrumptious offerings. Everything was beautifully served on silver trays on a buffet decorated with red hearts, glitter and those red berries (not holly) that show up at Christmas, but are perfect for Valentine�s Day, too.
The Garden Club of Durango was federated in 1940, which means it is celebrating its 73rd birthday this year. For the golden anniversary, members held a party at the Electra Lake Clubhouse, complete with a fashion show from the decades of the club�s existence, and for the 70th, they had a �John Wayne barbecue� at the Schuetz home in the Animas Valley. It will be interesting to see what members do for their 75th.
The club meets once a month to share gardening tips about how to be successful in our rugged zone, which includes a number of microclimates. During the winter, meetings are all about education, but in the summer, it�s all about the gardens, with many a tour. I went on a tour once and was blown away. Just as with the arts, I�m a better garden �audience� than gardener.
The group doesn�t just meet, though. As a gift to the community, they create and maintain the gorgeous garden at Santa Rita Park, which includes a pergola and Blue Star Memorial.
The club meets on the second Wednesday of the month. If you would like to learn more, call Schuetz at 247-0198 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I wrote about the Second Annual Valentine�s Day Gala fundraiser for Mountain Middle School in my Wednesday column, but ran out of space to write about a few things I learned about the school that night.
The school�s common room is called the Eeva Reeder Room, but who the heck is Eeva Reeder? It�s a story that is both tragic and inspiring.
Reeder began her mathematics teaching career in the Seattle area. While completing her master�s degree, she took a job with a bridge-design company and had a startling realization. She had never applied her mathematics skills to a real-world situation.
And thus was born her passion for project-based learning, in part because she realized her students were not learning concepts deeply enough to apply or even remember them for long periods, and in part because research was beginning to show that concepts are best understood using concrete examples the students create themselves (that last part is important).
For the rest of her career, she taught at a number of schools in the Seattle area, including Mountlake Terrace High School, which was recognized by the George Lucas Foundation for Academic Excellence. But Reeder also consulted with and helped design curriculum, accurate measurement tools (teachers call those rubrics, but that�s too jargony for me) and projects galore, gaining a national reputation in the process.
Enter Mountain Middle School. Its first charter application was turned down, because the Colorado Charter School Institute worried that the school�s teachers would have the enormous task of trying to design projects that would help students meet Colorado�s academic standards. It was back to the drawing board for Nancy Heleno, who put Herculean-sized efforts into getting MMS off the ground.
Gisele Pansze, who was one of the lead developers of Animas High School, which also offers a project-based-learning curriculum, had spoken with Reeder, and while AHS and MMS couldn�t afford her fees, Pansze thought Heleno should at least give Reeder a call.
It was a meeting of two like-minded, passionate women.
�She was normally paid tens of thousands of dollars for her expertise,� Heleno said. �But she was so impressed with the three tenets of Mountain Middle School, academic rigor, significant student/teacher interaction to build relationships and the culture of the school as a safe place to learn. Eeva said she would drop her normal $50,000 fee if I could raise $4,000 to show we were serious. I made a few calls to supporters, and we raised it.�
During the next six months, the two women exchanged countless emails and phone calls, developing robust projects that clearly demonstrated they met the standards.
The night before the 577-page revised application was to go to the printer, Heleno got a call that rocked her to her foundation. Kevin Reeder, Eeva�s husband, told her Reeder had died that day at the age of 53, and Heleno learned for the first time that her mentor, partner and friend had been fighting a losing battle with cancer during the entire project. Heleno never once had an inkling Reeder was even sick.
�She never wavered for a moment,� Heleno said. �And neither did he. His wife had just died, but he was calling me not only to notify me, but to ask if I needed anything more for the application. Not meeting Eeva in person is one of the few regrets in my life.�
It was the only application the charter institute ever received with a dedication on the cover, and the only application the board ever approved unanimously, in large part because of Reeder�s work, Heleno said. And when MMS opened its doors in August 2011, Kevin Reeder came for the dedication of the room that honored her final passionate project.
�When he spoke, those 156 middle school students were so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop,� Heleno said. �He said, �Even though she hasn�t met you, she loves you.��
But wait, that�s not all. Come summer 2012, Kevin Reeder announces an amazing gift to MMS. Ten banker�s boxes, his wife�s life�s work, with the only caveat the information not be used for profit and that her research and work be made available to others researching and creating projects and assessment tools.
Any major university in the country would have killed for those papers, and he�s giving them to a middle school in an isolated little town in the Rockies. Because he liked what he saw, too.
Pansze and Heleno are a bit like kids in a candy store, reading and organizing the paperwork by topic rather than by the school system of filing Reeder had used. And when they�re done, MMS will have some of the best teacher manuals in the country.
If you ever visit the school, stop for a minute in the Eeva Reeder Room and give a moment of thanks for her contribution to our community�s children.
Celebrating their birthdays on the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces are Maryann Fassett, Ellen Patterson, Dick Pearson, Patrick Cunnion, Peggy Bull, Eric Copeland, David Wylie, Jim West, Toni Senters, Kyle Odin, Mark Bauer, Glenn Bultman, Debbie Chilcoate, Jeffrey Ugai, JoEtta Galbraith and Hal Sippy.
Special greetings go to Carol Treat, who gracefully illustrates the phrase, �She�s not getting older, she�s getting better.�
Hard as it is to believe, my high school class is celebrating its 40th reunion this summer. In the process of finding far-flung classmates and using newfangled inventions such as the Internet, former senior class President Jack Turner tells me many people have started to register on the wrong website, which charges $20. (Ours is free.) When they decline to pay, the site continues to use their name to bring in other classmates.
Turner calls it fraud. I just know there�s an easy way to fix it.
The official website is www.DHS1973.com. Don�t Google �DHS 1973,� because it will probably take you to the wrong site. If you see a photo of some of our fellow classmates all grown up, standing on the stairs at the old high school, you have arrived at the right place.
Go there. Register.
And I hope I�ll see all of you June 14 and 15. �Nuff said.
Wishing for anniversaries warmed by tropical ocean breezes are Alan and Pat Stelter and Scott and Julie McCallister.
Very special greetings go out to Richard and Cindy Cortese, who celebrated 30 years together Feb. 9.
Here�s how to reach me: firstname.lastname@example.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items.
I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high-quality, high-resolution photos (at least 1 MB of memory).

Q. Name, nickname and tell us briefly about yourself?
Madonna aka Madz.
Well, I'm female, a human being living on planet Earth. My connection to the Crystal Castle; I have been working at the Crystal Castle for two and a half years and I find that since I've been here it has literally fast tracked my spiritual development. It's like working in a modern day mystery school, where we are well supported by the other people that are on the team and also the visitors who come to the Crystal Castle. It's such a beautiful blessing to be surrounded by crystal gifts from mother Earth and nature. Plus all the animals that join us here.
Q. What is your favourite dish from the Lotus Cafe?
Asian noodle salad with Tofu as I'm vegan. Nice to be catered for.
Q. Do you have a favourite statue and why?
Ganesh.. Who I have a personal connection to. When I was really young I had a dream that there was an elephant in my front yard and he kept on changing colours. I was dancing around with this elephant on a grassy knoll and later on I discovered it was Ganesh. He is the remover of obstacles and the keeper of wisdom.
Q. If you could buy anything from the Crystal Castle, what would you buy?
I guess it would have to be the Rose Quartz fountain. Q. why? If you saw it you would know why.. It's such an amazing visual meditation in the heart of the Crystal Castle grounds, connecting with Rose Quartz energies and the water. It's just divine.
Q. What's your favourite crystal and why?
My all time fave would have to be Moldavite. Simply because it makes me feel like I'm home.
Q Do you have an anecdote / special moment / story about a Crystal Castle visitor.
I have a memory from about a year ago of doing an aura photo for a girl who was about 15 years old. She was here with members of her family, about 6 of them and when we unveiled the aura photo there was a bright red dot right in the centre of her forehead, something I had never seen before, her and all her friends started crying because ever since she was little they had always called her Swami and there it was, this bright red light in her energetic Aura photo. There are lots of mystical and magical things that happen here and I'm constantly surprised and amazed
Thanks Madz.
