Harriet WRIGHT was my 2x great-grandmother and her exact date and place of birth (along with the details of her baptism) are bound up within the mystery surrounding the early years of her father Henry SHORNDEN/WRIGHT.
It is quite possible that her birth was registered under the surname SHORNDEN, and it seems likely that she was born not long after her parents marriage in 1840, all census information points to a birth around that year. The place of her birth is not quite so clear, with conflicting information given
- 1851 – Ospringe, Kent
- 1861 – Alton, Hampshire
- 1871 – Alton, Hampshire
- 1881 – Alton, Hampshire
- 1891 – Alton, Hampshire
- 1901 – Alton, Hampshire
- 1911 – Cowfold, Kent [there is a Cowfold in Sussex, but I haven't found one in Kent]
At the time of the 1851 census Harriet was living with her parents and siblings in Alton, Hampshire and in theory this means the information was given by Henry and ought to be most reliable. From 1861 to 1901 she is living with her husband William Henry MITCHELL, who obvious wouldn't have known first-hand where she was born. In 1911 she is widowed and living with one of her married daughters, so again not first hand knowledge of her mother's birth.
Returning to the 1851 census we find an eleven year old Harriet with her parents and siblings (Mary Ann, Henry, Emma, William and George) in Normandy Street in Alton, Hampshire. Her father is described as a cutler and lodging house keeper.
On the 4th February 1860 Harriet married William Henry MITCHELL at the parish church in the small village of Exton, Hampshire. Both were living in Exton at the time, which is where William Henry's parents spent their married life together. [It is also conveniently situated on the South Downs Way so I was able to pay it a brief visit last year]
Together Harriet and William Henry MITCHELL had a total of thirteen children:
- Mary Ann MITCHELL (baptised 26 February 1860)
- Henry James MITCHELL (baptised 3 November 1861)
- Robert Charles MITCHELL (baptised 25 January 1863)
- James MITCHELL (baptised 18 December 1864)
- Sarah Ann MITCHELL (baptised 10 May 1866)
- William MITCHELL (baptised 22 December 1867)
- Emma Louisa MITCHELL (baptised 11 July 1869)
- Elizabeth MITCHELL (baptised 9 April 1871)
- George MITCHELL (baptised 25 May 1873) [my great-grandfather]
- Alfred MITCHELL (baptised 12 September 1875)
- Albert MITCHELL (baptised 5 May 1878)
- Harriet Ellen MITCHELL (baptised 21 December 1879)
- Frederick MITCHELL (baptised 5 February 1882)
These children were born and baptised in a range of villages across Hampshire and Sussex, as the family moved their way across the counties, presumably travelling wherever it was necessary for William Henry to find work. Many months ago I put this information on a Google Map to show the places that the family passed through.
The couple eventually ended up in Sussex, by 1901 their children had all left home and they were looking after one of their grandchildren in Funtington, Sussex. William Henry died in 1908 (aged 74 years) and was buried at Funtington on the 1st October 1908.
In the 1911 census Harriet is living in Portsmouth, Hampshire with one of her now married daughters (Harriet Ellen HUTFIELD with a husband in the navy). Harriet herself died in 1925 (aged 85 years) and was also buried in Funtington on the 12th September 1925.

If you despair that the future of America depends upon the self-involved, socially awkward youth who defend the right of Miley Cyrus to twerk and aspire to be the first in line at the opening of "Fast and Furious 7, the Art of the Steal," we have a suggestion that will make you feel better.
Come to the Aiken County Animal Shelter at 411 Wire Road on the second Saturday of each month and watch six volunteers from the South Aiken High School chapter of the Serteen Club commit their time and energy to making the dogs and cats housed at the shelter happier animals. It will warm your heart.
The Serteen Club is a high school organization whose national motto is "Making a Difference for Mankind." There are no prerequisites for membership in the Serteens except a desire to be of service to their community.
The 72 members of the Serteens at the South Aiken High School Chapter are a culturally and ethnically diverse group, many of whom are four-year veterans by the time they are seniors.
Specific project activities are proposed primarily by the students. According to Valorie Vance, who serves as the Serteen faculty adviser, in any given month, the Serteens could be volunteering in as many as 10 events around town. For example, this year the Serteens will have assisted with Friends of the Animal Shelter Steeplechase events, Trick or Treat on Pendleton, Habitat for Humanity, the Walk for Alzheimer's and the Ronald McDonald House, to name a few.
The Serteens have been volunteering at the Aiken County Animal Shelter since 2010. Forty-two members have completed the shelter's volunteer training and orientation program and are eligible to sign up for the monthly service day.
At the shelter, they primarily spend their time socializing the animals through exercise, play and attention. Serteen volunteers also provide much needed help to the FOTAS for special projects around the Aiken County animal shelter, adoption days and fundraising events.
Mary Lou Welch, the vice president of FOTAS, has been working with the Serteens from the very beginning,
"They are so responsible, so polite and such great fun to be with, and they are so good with the dogs," she said. "And they are committed. I've known a couple of these kids since they were freshman and had to be driven to everything, and now they drive themselves."
Vance is articulate about the benefits to the students of community service. "It is wonderful to watch a kid who may have started out shy and withdrawn grow and mature into a young adult fully engaged in the world," she said.
But rest assured, the benefits flow both ways – the staff and volunteers at the shelter are equally articulate about the joy these dedicated teenagers bring to the shelter animals so in need of kindness and human interaction.
When we observe Phillip running with the big dogs, or Kimberly and sister Kaytlin spending time at the Cat House, or Joi assisting with every adoption event, or Jada, her father and brother volunteering on days other than the designated Serteen service day, we can set aside our fears for the future of America's youth.
We are certain the world will be a better place because they and their fellow Serteens are in it.
FOTAS volunteers work with the Aiken County Animal Shelter, 411 Wire Road. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.fotasaiken.org.

Swatch TV
Mission Antarctic - Episode 1
When Xavier De Le Rue convinced his main partners The North Face and Swatch to help him set up a dream trip he had in mind, he didn't think it would end up being that good. The small-ship expedition with Lucas Debari in Antarctica was a great success and proved to be a unique playground full of breathtaking moments. Although the movie will only be released in Fall 2013, this is the first of 3 episodes that previews what happened down there. The footage was captured by TimeLine Films crew and Renan Ozturk from Camp 4 Collective.

It was a good week, although admittedly most of the family history happened towards the end of the week. There wasn't really anything new this week, no new databases plundered just sorting out what I already have and a little bit of updating from things like the census and BMD indexes.
Challenging times: Processing Framfield burial records
The thirty-eight Framfield burial records that I captured at East Sussex Record Office have been recorded on my spreadsheet and all but ten of these have been included in my family history software. The ten individuals who didn't get included weren't in my database yet and I successfully resisted the temptation of going too far down the road of trying to find out who they were.
I am sure that they will eventually fit in somewhere, but I can wait until that time comes rather than go chasing after them.
East Sussex Record Office information
As well as clearing the Framfield burials I have also finished recording all the other records that I captured at the ESRO have also received a similar treatment. Some records fitted neatly into place in my family tree and others didn't, but like the burials they will eventually find a home somewhere down the road.
It is great to have these papers off my desk and captured digitally, it is not that I don't have enough papers on there already.
Future Challenges
I am not sure what my challenge will be this week yet but it probably ought to be either sorting out the information I have for Patrick Vaughan or finishing off updating my to-do list.
I now have the urge to get some of my family photos identified, but before I can do that I really need to get them sorted into some sort of order. I need to do some research into what is going to be the best method for organising them.

The projects modernized and reconfigured labs for optimal collaboration between chemistry, biology and biochemistry, better reflecting the way science is conducted today and giving students more opportunities to participate in research across the disciplines. This is the first of a three-phase science building initiative representing an investment of more than $30 million.

Ann was my 5x great-grandmother, known as the wife of Jame GEERING of Hailsham, Sussex because I don't know much about her life before she married.
Ann's date of birth is based on the age given on her death certificate and allowing for rounding it matches the age on the 1841 census. The 1841 census suggests that she was not born in Sussex, but that is the only piece of evidence that points to where she came from.
I don't have any marriage details for Ann and James GEERING, and the only hard evidence that I have that suggests they did marry is her death certificate which records her occupation as "Wife of James Geering Chemist". I do have a marriage which I suspect is them (see below) but have not been able to prove so far.
If a marriage did occur it was probably between 1795 and 1798, because their four children were born not long after this period. All four children were baptised in Hailsham, Sussex:
- Jane Howlett GEERING (baptised 24 Apr 1798)
- John James GEERING (baptised 9 Aug 1800)
- Ann GEERING (born 18 Sep 1803, baptised 26 Apr 1806)
- Richard GEERING (born 20 Jul 1805, baptised 26 Apr 1806)
The late baptism of Ann's daughter Ann suggests that the family had more important things to do at the time or may have been away elsewhere. I have been unable to find any more information about the younger Ann, but her census information might reveal where she was born and what the family was up to. There is a possibility that James GEERING was serving in the army, but I have also been unable to prove this.
The middle name of James and Ann's first child is almost certainly an indicator of Ann's maiden name. There is a marriage of James GEARING and Ann HOWLETT at St. Martins in the Field, Westminster, Middlesex on the 30th September 1797, but so far I have been unable to prove that these are my ancestors.
There is a second piece of evidence which gives a connection with the HOWLETT surname, one of James and Ann's grandchildren was named Francis Howlett GEERING (he was the eldest son of John James GEERING). There was a schoolmaster and postmaster named Francis HOWLETT living in Hailsham, so there is a chance that Jane and Francis were named after him and there is no family connection, but it seems more likely that there is a family connection with the HOWLETT surname and quite possible that Ann and Francis HOWLETT were related.
The 1841 census shows Ann living in Lewes, Sussex with her son Richard GEERING and his wife Eliza and their five children. The odd thing about this situation is that Ann's husband James was living in Hailsham at the same time. I don't know whether this was a temporary situation, or whether this was a more permanent separation.
Ann died before her husband, on the 2nd May 1844 aged 67 years old, and still in the town of Lewes. The cause of death was paralysis and her death was registered on the 6th May 1844 by Eliza GEERING (presumably her daughter-in-law). She was buried on the 7th May 1844 presumably at St. John's Church, Lewes. Interestingly when her husband died in January 1850 he was buried in Hailsham, adding further to the speculation that James and Ann had split for some reason.
Further Research
I really need to take a closer look at the marriage of James GEARING and Ann HOWLETT, the data I have comes from the IGI and doesn't give me the names of the witnesses. I have a copy of the marriage licence allegation for the marriage but that doesn't give me any further information.
I need to try to find out more about Francis HOWLETT, hoping that a connection will emerge if I can trace his parents. The problem is that I have even less genealogical information for Francis HOWLETT than I do for Ann.

I took the opportunity of a dry (but overcast) New Year's Day to pay a quick visit to Goreland Farm, West Grinstead, Sussex.
As I mentioned in my Ancestral Profile posts on my 4x great-grandparents John FAIRS and Eliza WORSFOLD nothing remains of their home at Goreland Farm. Actually that is not quite true, as you can see from the photo below there are still traces of the buildings in the form of pieces of brick and other building debris, darkened soil and a depression in the level of the field.
There is a footpath that passes over the site of Goreland Farm, but the conditions underfoot were so wet and muddy that it wasn't long before I turned around and headed back the way I came.
Fortunately there is a country lane which runs close by the site of Goreland Farm, which provides a drier path to the nearest village a couple of miles away.
Looking on old-maps.co.uk (search co-ordinates: 517095, 118205) it looks like Goreland Farm was demolished/fell down in the 1950s, long after my FAIRS family had moved on. It would be nice to find out more about Goreland Farm and perhaps find a photograph/postcard of it, even though my ancestors were only there for a short time.

Video tutorial, pics, and a look back at my own prom below!
Here you can see that the base shape of this smoky eye is a blended out oval. The cat-eye effect is from the liner, not the shadow. This oval technique is actually the easiest to adapt to any eye shape for a smoky eye.
Please tell me you girls will take lots of goofy pics like this for your prom too. ;p
Can you believe how much younger I looked then than I do now? I can see that my face matured a lot after high school and my eyebrows could be shaped better. LOL!
For those of you in high school I hope you have a fun, safe time at prom and take lots of pics!
To everyone else, lets give those prom-goers some good advice in the comments. I mentioned in my video that my best tip is to bring blotting sheets, lipstick, and lash glue in your purse. What's your best tip?

Capt. Frank Knowles found dead off Panama City
72-year-old captain's body found 3 miles offshore
UPDATED 9:04 AM CDT Mar 15, 2013
Authorities in Panama City say the body of a 72-year-old captain was recovered about three miles offshore.
The U.S. Coast Guard was called Thursday morning to the site where Frank Knowles was last seen.
Officials say he went into the water about 2 a.m. Thursday. The Coast Guard and volunteers searched the area for about two hours before finding his body.
Rescuers performed CPR, but Knowles was pronounced dead at the Panama City Marina.
Coast Guard officials say choppy water conditions and darkness hampered the rescue effort.
The medical examiner's office will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

CASPER, Wyo. � Police released more details Saturday of a grisly murder-suicide at a Wyoming community college, saying a man shot his father in the head with a bow and arrow in front of a computer science class not long after fatally stabbing his father�s live-in girlfriend at their home a couple miles away.
Computer science instructor James Krumm, 56, may have saved some of his students� lives Friday by giving them time to flee while trying to fend off his son, Christopher Krumm, 25, of Vernon, Conn., Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh said.
�I can tell you the courage that was demonstrated by Mr. Krumm was absolutely without equal,� he said, adding that his actions could offer some measure of comfort to those affected by the killings.
He said police still were trying to figure out what motivated Christopher Krumm to attack his father and girlfriend, 42-year-old Heidi Arnold, a math instructor at the college. Arnold was found stabbed to death in front of the home she shared with James Krumm.
After shooting his father with the arrow, Christopher Krumm stabbed himself, then fatally stabbed his father in the chest in a struggle in the classroom, Walsh said.
Police arrived to find James Krumm dead and Christopher Krumm barely living; the younger Krumm died soon after students fled in a panic. Authorities locked down the campus for two hours.
Police began getting reports about the attack on Arnold soon after they responded by the dozen to the campus attack.
Christopher Krumm had smuggled the compound bow � a type much more powerful and effective for hunting than a simple, wooden bow � onto campus beneath a blanket, Walsh said.
He said Krumm also had two knives with him and the knife used was �very large.�
�It�s one of those situations you don�t think is going to come home. It�s not going to happen here,� Walsh said.
Arnold died of multiple stab wounds. Her body was found in the gutter of her street. Evidence suggested much of the attack occurred outside the home, Walsh said.
Christopher Krumm had recently driven to Casper from Connecticut and had been staying at a local hotel. He had no significant history of encounters with police.
Police were uncertain what went awry in Christopher Krumm�s relationship with his father.
�It�s difficult to say. I don�t think it was very close,� Walsh said.
Casper, population 56,000, is about 250 miles northwest of Denver and Wyoming�s second-largest city after the state capital, Cheyenne. Wyomingites refer to Casper as the �Oil City� because it is a hub of the state�s small oil industry.
Casper College is one of seven colleges in Wyoming�s community college system. The campus was mostly quiet Saturday morning. A small group of drama students rehearsed a play in the school theater just across the street from the attack.
The building where the attack happened remained cordoned off by police tape that whipped in a brisk wind. A security guard let students back in, one at a time, to retrieve belongings they�d left behind.
Andra Charter, a 20-year-old sophomore, emerged with a coffee mug. She recalled hearing screams outside her biology class before getting word about what had happened.
�As we were walking out, there was a girl screaming, �There�s somebody stabbing Mr. Krumm!�� Charter said.
No students were hurt in the attack.
Krumm was head of the college�s computer science department. He was born north of London and also spent part of his childhood in Germany, according to the college website.
He held degrees from Casper College, a bachelor�s degree and MBA from the University of Wyoming, and a master�s in computer science from Colorado State University.
Arnold held a master�s degree in mathematics from the University of Oregon and a bachelor�s degree in math from University of California, Davis.
The college planned a candlelight vigil and memorial service Tuesday.

Well I think most people understood it was an upgrade....even a guy like you who doesn't use "numbers".
See Dudley/Redick trade thread. Happy reading.
Most every (if not every) NBA team has an advanced statistical/matrix dept. It's the sign of the times.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/wi ... story.html
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnatio ... r-the-nba/
I know what you're saying. You're actually a sensible stat guy who uses stat but it's not the end all be all. Tense on the other hand thinks stats is final and doesn't post anything except links. Lol
Demoted to bench and now being shopped. What an upgrade
Screw your advanced stats. Dudley suck ass this season
and Caron Last season was way better than Dudley this season.
If you can't see that you need to get your eyes checked.
I though you like the trade at the time. See no advanced stats link.
I never ever said that. Your mind set, not mine.
I love it so much people called me a hater
You never say anything except links. That's my point
...or your crystal ball.
I'm pretty sure that nobody had prior knowledge of Dudley's play THIS year... LAST summer.
If it's that big of a problem for (which it sure seems) ya then do yourself a favor and put me on ignore and you won't have to suffer though those links and you can keep on evaluating players by who you "think" is better or whose. To each his own I say.
Though so. By the way, how did you like that Mullens deal since you're on a roll. Hindsight is great, isn't it.
Anyway possible we could get Wilson Chandler? I think someone like him is just what the clippers need! Decent 3 point shooter, really athletic, good defender and rebounder, and gets to the line. And he is still 26! Would love to see him come to the Clippers
I like Wilson Chandler. Not sure why anyone in there right mind
would give him up for Crudley or barnes.
Like Turkolu lol
And deprive myself?
So far so good. Hope it continues. Don't mind eating some crow if it helps us win.
Good, then prepare to suffer.
a couple of people have brought him up. Chandler seems like a good player. It would take a lot of teams involved because the piece they want to trade away is Andre Miller.
I'll take anyone at this point. We really do need an upgrade, Barnes and Dudley are trash.
step 1-trade reggie bullock, matt barne and byron mullens for glen davis
step 2- trade jared dudley,jamal crawford, and willie green for wilson chandler,randy foye, and darrel arther
depth chart
Step 3 - win a championship. Those seem like plausible trades, however for the Denver trade I think we might be getting too much from them, depending on how other teams perceive Jamal's value. But since Nate Rob went out they are in need of a scoring sixth man. Make it happen Doc.
Glen Davis with his mid range 15-17 feet jumpers is perfect for this team.
But in think he earns 5-7 million range.
tried both trade on espn trade machine and they go through
Dudley had a good prognosis but hasn't worked out for whatever combination of reasons. Obviously the front office did more homework than "he can shoot three's" in looking to trade for him. Whether it is atmosphere, fit, injury, whatever, he has been below his norm. Hindsight is 20/20 though.
With that said, we're still selling low, and teams know that and would give less than they would at a different time for him. They also know that he's most likely still a solid role player and a different system or situation, or if the injury is actually his main issue as some thought, that resting him for an extended period and bringing him back can get them a decent deal for his production.
I know some people aren't huge fans, but a Dudley for Brand switch makes sense for LAC with Hedo becoming the 3PT shooting SF. Ideally I think if you're moving a Dudley you move Bar we too, but in summer and retool the SF position, but that's me.
Trading for a guy like Brand preserves Bullock on the team.
Denver won't trade Chandler as he's their only real SF and there's no need for them to downgrade at SF. They have a TON of guards off the bench. Hamilton, Fornier, that there's no enticement of Jamal for them.
^^Brand would help us out a lot, but knowing DTS, he would never sign off on that deal, he holds vendettas.
So Deng desperately wants out Cleveland. Dudley, Crawford and Barnes for Deng. This trade also makes Dion Waitters expendable for the Cavs
I'd only give them Dudley and Barnes only because we won't be able to re-sign Deng in the offseason he'd be a one year rental, but obviously Cavs wouldn't do that trade.
Are we really going to pay that much for Deng? How do we fill out the rest of the roster? What are we paying him in the off-season? Why did Cleveland do that instead of just saving mone?
Why does a team with two on ball scoring guards want Crawford? They wouldn't, but Deng would take too much cap for us
The Deng for Crawford, Barnes and Dudley trade worked on the espn trade machine. We still have Hedu and willie as our back ups. Cavs are losing Deng and are desperate.
You'd give up 3 players for 1 player that would be a one year rental? That's not smart.
Deng 28, is one of the leagues best small forward defender and can score when needed. He's a perfect for the club. Our bench will suffer but I'll put our starting five against anyone. Losing Barnes, Crawford and Dudley frees up 13 million. I can easily see Deng signing 3 years at 33 mil.
it would be great if we could get davis for dudley mullens and jamison
This trade also worked on the trade machine. Clippers get Deng Hawks get Crawford and Dudley. This will help their playoff push. Cavs get Barnes, Elton Brand, Deamare Carroll and the Hawks 1st round pick
Why would the Hawks give up a 1st rd pick for Crawford and Dudley ?
If we wanted Deng you know who we would have to give up? JJ
A relatively young starter on a cap friendly. Since Crawfords deal is cheaper than JJ's it opens up some dollars to resign Deng next year.
Crawford starts and Bullock backs him up taking over for him when Crawfords deal is up.
Deng is a great player in a terrible situation. I would love to have him, but I'm wary of trading Crawford and all our non-rookie small forwards for a one year rental. Plus, there are two other questions that must be asked:
Will the team do well enough in the playoffs that he won't just bolt after the season's over?
Will he agree to take less money to play with the Clippers?
I would only consider signing him if I knew the answers to those questions would be "yes".
I'm thinking the market for Deng will be somewhere between 3 years 35 million or 4 years 40 million. Deng 28, will be willing to move to la and play with chris, blake and dj. I really do think everyone comes out on top. Cavs get a 1st rounder. Hawks get couple of players that are a position of need for them. They lose their first rounder which will be somewhere in the twenties. That late in the first round you really don't know what kind of player you'll have.Plus trading Barnes, Dudley and Crawford frees up about 13 million a year.
I like Deng, I'm a huge fan of his. I think he would prosper on this team more than anywhere else he could end up. I also don't think he would be here more than a year. Have to agree with @Dunkathon, you don't make that trade unless you are certain he is taking a cap friendly deal at the end (and there is now way you can be certain).
I'd like most trades with Atlanta that get us Carroll or Korver.
how about this trade
I'd rather have the players the pacers get in the trade
I love all these possibilities. Its cool to see ESPN has this feature to allow fans to make hypotheticals. I just hope we get the right trade
the obvious thing to do was trade butler for ariza last year and sign andrew bynum this year. If both those things happened, the clippers would absolutely be the #2 favorite in the west.
It would be one thing if we were upping their trade value, but the trade value for most of these guys must be at an all time low. Unless a coach has worked with these guys in the past and really liked them, you probably aren't going to get much value in return.
The only way we get decent value in return is giving up assets that teams want. That being draft picks, young players with potential, large expiring contracts that free up major amounts of cap space, followed by good veterans on decent contracts. It depends where the teams are at the moment, as well as their culture as an organization.
So as far as trading Mullens, and Dudley maybe Dantoni is foolish enough to buy.
Ariza, yes, Bynum, maybe not. We have to remember that our biggest desire is defense. Bynum's movement and pick and roll defense was atrocious this season, and it's never been "good", and it's not like he was good on offense. Outside of random games, overall he was bad on offense and bad on defense, so we can't proclaim him a savior without knowing how much more progress he needs to get to a state where he's actually effective.
Of course, having Ariza might mean no Redick. But I was salivating at the idea of this defensive 1-3: Paul / Bledsoe / Ariza, so of course I wouldn't have complained, but Redick works quite well here.
It might still be possible to get Ariza, but certainly not easy. Washington is aware that they have signed Webster for 4 years and that re-signing Ariza also after they just drafted a SF in Porter might be weird, but Ariza is playing really well for them.
Their need though is a PF, probably one that can score. The other problem is that all the Clippers decent sized contracts aren't expiring, they have at least another year or two on them. At least with expiring, you can sell cap space and flexibility.
What we might be able to do is give luxury tax relief to a team that doesn't want to pay the tax by giving them a slightly cheaper player for a slightly more expensive one, but the Clippers are also trying to avoid any heavy tax burden.
I know the Warriors said something about them be open to a trade with anyone that isn't Curry or Bogut. I'd love Iggy or Barnes but I doubt we have anything they want and I doubt they would ever trade with us.
To put those 2 in the same category is giving crudley too much credit, if barnes is so trash why is he starting 8)
Barnes as a starter:
7.9 pts, 3.9 rebs, 2.4 asts, 1.4 tov, 40.7% FG, 39.5% 3PT, .509 TS%, 100 Ortg, 28.8 MPG
Dudley as a starter:
8.7 pts, 2.2 rebs, 1.6 asts, 1.0 tov, 45.0% FG, 37.9% 3PT, .558 TS%, 104 Ortg, 28.6 MPG
Doc is pretty precise with the rotations, they are playing almost the exact same minutes. To be honest, I was expecting to check the numbers and see Barnes actually producing decently well, even though I know many games I was thinking he wasn't playing so well, but I was just hoping, lol. I'm a bit disappointed.
Barnes has shot the three well lately though, and as a starter, at least there is that. Dudley rebounding better off the bench and Barnes rebounding "worse" as a starter is also interesting, probably because DJ takes all the easy rebounds away so unless they are grabbing those contested ones, the rebound chances are lower. Dudley is doing 4.8 rebs/36 as a reserve compared to 2.8 rebs/36 as a starter. Barnes is doing 4.9 rebs/36 as a starter compared to 7.1 rebs/36 as a reserve.
I guess they've both kinda sucked, and Barnes' scoring rate has decreased as a starter despite better efficiency (which is sad since he still is inefficient), which I suppose makes sense because when you play with those guys, there's a lot more capable scorers, and really why would I want Barnes taking a shot that Blake Griffin, Redick, or Crawford who is in with the starters a lot could take instead?
If Chris Caveman always played like he is today, we would need him. He had 27 points, in as many minutes and 10 rebounds.

I think President Obama has yet again created chaos in a country that is fed up with all of his lies and deceit.
He has recently gone on various television news shows and stated that he has bent over backwards to deal with Republicans. As an independent voter, I would say how does one bend over backwards when you refuse to discuss the issues you have with what the Republicans are doing? You can't resolve anything if you don't talk, but what you can do is make the other guy look like he is at fault, which Obama has succeeded in doing.
The other cunning ploy by our illustrious president, which the majority of people are ignoring, is the fact that he is involved in another distraction.
He has gone from the Fast and Furious gun running debacle, Benghazi Embassy attack, NSA leaks, IRS targeting of Tea Party groups, the Syria threat to bomb their country, to the government shutdown.
In every situation mentioned, the American people have been left hanging without closure to all of the scandals.
To say that Obama is acting in his own interests and not in the best interest of the American people would be an understatement. From my perspective, he is like the proverbial tree that won't bend; sooner or later he will break under that weight of all of his wrongdoing.

Winter Poem
Availability: In stock.
Product Description
Stream the "The Dream" in its entirety below!
Over the last 15 years Secret Garden has sold nearly 5 million albums worldwide. From their first CD "Songs From a Secret Garden" which featured 'Nocturne', through albums "White Stones" and "Dawn of a New Century", and "Once in a Red Moon", the group has had a consistent presence on the U.S. charts. Their songs have been successfully covered by Barbra Streisand ("Heartstrings" / "I've Dreamed Of You"), Josh Groban and Il Divo ("You Raise Me Up"), among others.
Winter Poem features all new original songs by Rolf Løvland, with Fionnuala Sherry's violin as the trademark sound of the group. The repertoire is dominated by instrumental pieces, but in addition, the group has also found room for 3 new songs. Moya Brennan of the Celtic group 'Clannad' is a guest vocalist on "The Dream". "We've wanted to work with Moya for a very long time", says Løvland. "She performs the song with a longing and dreamy expression that gives the song a very special dimension." Another new song, "Mary's Lament", has lyrics by Brendan Graham who also wrote the lyrics for "You Raise Me Up". The song is performed by Irish singer Fionnuala Gill. "Powered By Nature", which was Norway's official Expo-song during last year's exhibition in China, is sung by Espen Grjotheim and Tracey Campbell. All music is symphonically scored, arranged and produced by Rolf and performed by Secret Garden with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.
The album has been given the title "Winter Poem". "Winter, with Nature's transformation and beautiful magic, is a time for emotion and contemplative thought. Many of these feelings have been a source of inspiration for the music. Scandinavia's winter is shrouded in darkness. It always arouses my creativity, I always write best then. I think the Norwegian nature and the special atmosphere in Winter creates a kind of need in me to feel my emotions and to express myself", says Rolf Løvland.
"We truly hope that Winter Poem can contribute light and warmth to our listeners during the cold, dark winter evenings and to those living in warmer climes, light and warmth through cold and dark times", says Fionnuala Sherry.
Sorry but we can ONLY ship to those with addresses in the United States, Canada, and Mexico - any orders from outside North America will be refunded.
For those outside of North America, please visit CDON.com to purchase the CD or Platekompaniet to purchase the digital album.

10 Review by Andrzej Boryna
Beautiful !!! (Posted on 12/3/11)
Again, Fionnuala Sherry's violin as the trademark sound of the group brings heart to the combined masters gathered around her. Review by Brother Fre in California for KVMR-fm Nevada City
As a former broadcaster of KVMR-fm Nevada City, California, I have always enjoyed the savory sounds of Fionnuala Sherry's violin which surrounded by her magnificent band members makes whatever she plays and sings something that I would always pay to hear live.
I hope that she continues with a long future as one of the most remarkable songwriters and singers in the great Celtic tradition that she does so well.
Just after I received her last CD I went in for Throat Cance. Prognoses good, but have lost my voice, so had to give up broadcasting. I wish her the best. (Posted on 10/5/11)

I'll do a small update on all that in a few days but today I wanted to do a good, meaty update since it's been so long since my last post. I've gotten tons of requests to do a look using the Urban Decay Naked Palette which I was totally obliged to do considering I've been using it nearly every day since I bought it.
You'll have to forgive my GINORMOUS zits because it was that "time of the month" which I added in the video because I'm a classy lady like that. No matter. I wore this look to church and I'm pretty sure God isn't as offended as mere humans at the sight of hormonal growths on chins. ;)
I think that's about it! I hope this tutorial was helpful for some of you lucky ladies that managed to snag one of the PERMANENT Naked palettes. Yup, permanent and still that crazy-hard to get ahold of. That reminds me, I'm pretty sure UD is going to be on Hautelook tomorrow. Probably won't be likely to have the Naked Palette already but it's worth a shot, no? (Nobody is obligated to sign up with my invite, but if you do need one you can sign up to join Hautelook here. :)
Everyone have a nice middle-of-the-week!

Durango resident Linda Rose Greenberg died Monday, Feb. 25, 2013, at her home. The cause of death was breast cancer after a struggle with the disease that lasted more than 20 years. She was 61.
Mrs. Greenberg was born to Harry and Rita Hodgkinson Holder on May 1, 1951, in Roswell, N.M. She grew up in a military family, and as a young girl she lived for six years in Japan and Germany. Later she lived in Virginia and Texas, graduating from the University of Texas at Austin in 1972 with a bachelor�s degree in art.
On July 7, 1973, she married Redge Greenberg in Austin. The couple spent the early years of their marriage in Midland, Texas, where Mrs. Greenberg raised her children and continued with her artwork.
The Greenbergs moved to Durango 13 years ago.
Mrs. Greenberg was an accomplished artist in a variety of media including watercolor, acrylics and jewelry. Much of her art was inspired by the beauty of the Four Corners, her family said. Her artwork was exhibited at Durango Arts Center. She also enjoyed painting seasonal themes on the windows of downtown businesses.
Mrs. Greenberg was a member of the Durango Gem and Mineral Club for several years, where she began handcrafting jewelry.
In her spare time, she was an avid reader and an accomplished Scrabble player. She and her husband loved to travel, and recent trips included Japan, Antarctica, the Arctic and a visit to Disney World with the extended family.
�Her kindness and compassion for all people and animals defined her relationships,� her family said. �Her love for family and friends, returned in kind, brought her great joy and happiness during the latter part of her illness.�
Mrs. Greenberg is survived by her husband of almost 40 years, Redge Greenberg, of Durango; children, Tiffany Purcell and Aaron Greenberg, both of Durango; father, Harry Holder, of Texas; sisters Donna Beery, Pam Holder and Darla Buehler, all of Texas, and Sherry Phillips of Maine; and two grandchildren.
A celebration of life will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 9, 2013, at Kennebec Caf�, 4 County Road 124 in Hesperus.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Mercy Health Foundation for the Mercy Breast Care Center, 1010 Three Springs Blvd., Durango, CO 81301; or Hospice of Mercy, 1 Mercado St., Suite 270, Durango, CO 81301.

LUSHAN, China (AP) — Luo Shiqiang sat near chunks of concrete, bricks and a ripped orange sofa and told how his grandfather was just returning from feeding chickens when their house collapsed and crushed him to death in this weekend's powerful earthquake in southwestern China.
"We lost everything in such a short time," the 20-year-old college student said Sunday.
Saturday's earthquake in Sichuan province killed at least 186 people, injured more than 11,000 and left nearly two dozen missing, mostly in the rural communities around Ya'an city, along the same fault line where a devastating quake to the north killed more than 90,000 people in Sichuan and neighboring areas five years ago in one of China's worst natural disasters.
The Lushan and Baoxing counties hardest-hit on Saturday had escaped the worst of the damage in the 2008 quake, and residents there said they benefited little from the region's rebuilding after the disaster, with no special reinforcements made or new evacuation procedures introduced in their remote communities.
Luo said he wished more had been done to make his community's buildings quake-resistant. "Maybe the country's leaders really wanted to help us, but when it comes to the lower levels the officials don't carry it out," he said.
Relief teams flew in helicopters and dynamited through landslides Sunday to reach some of the most isolated communities, where rescuers in orange overalls led sniffer dogs through piles of brick, concrete and wood debris to search for survivors.
Many residents complained that although emergency teams were quick to carry away bodies and search for survivors, they had so far done little to distribute aid. "No water, no shelter," read a hand-written sign held up by children on a roadside in Longmen.
"I was working in the field when I heard the explosions of the earthquake, and I turned around and saw my house simply flatten in front of me," said Fu Qiuyue, a 70-year-old rapeseed farmer in Longmen.

A new Southern California restaurant has stepped on more than a few toes with its dress code requiring all women customers to wear heels.
The controversy began when ProAbition posted an online flier announcing its June 15 grand opening, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported.
Included in the restaurant's dress code was a line that read, "Ladies: No flat shoes or sandals. Must have heels."
The dress code did include an exception for injuries.
Even so, many women were not too happy about the rules and took to social media to express their feelings.
After numerous complaints, the restaurant softened its stance and issued the following statement:
"As a business, we pay very close attention to our guests' feedback. We had been receiving feedback on all fronts. That's when we decided maybe we need to re-adjust this and not be so strict about this one particular item."

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Chris Aaland thought it was a breathing issue. But the family doctor didn�t pull the stethoscope off his chest and prescribe an inhaler.
Instead, 48 hours after a fairly casual office visit, Aaland was on his way via helicopter to Presbyterian Heart Center in Albuquerque for life-saving heart surgery. Not to spoil the suspense, but, eight weeks later, Aaland, who has served Fort Lewis College athletics longer than anyone in the department, is doing just fine physically and mentally.
Financially, however, the Aaland family � Chris, his wife, Shelly, and their son, 5-year-old Otto � took a hit. So to help out, the organizers of the Community Cares 5K have designated the Aalands as this year�s beneficiary.
Saturday�s fourth annual event begins at 10 a.m. at the Durango Community Recreation Center. The fun run/walk is sponsored by the First Baptist Church of Durango and Durango Parks and Recreation.
It has been a trying stretch for the FLC sweethearts. Chris (1991 FLC grad and current assistant director of athletics for communications) and Shelly (1999 FLC grad and current head volleyball coach) were married in 2002. Their son Otto was born in 2007 and their son Gus in 2011. On Nov. 25, 2011, 5�-month-old Gus died at a Denver hospital of a sudden illness. Otto stayed in Durango during the ordeal.
�We couldn�t get back to Durango soon enough,� Chris said. First, they needed to explain to him about his brother. But mostly, �He was the medicine that Shelly and I needed.�
Almost exactly a year after Gus�s death, Chris began waking up with his heart racing and his breathing heavy. He chalked it up to anxiety surrounding the anniversary. But the symptoms didn�t go away.
The weekend of Dec. 8-9 was a particularly bad one physically. Among other duties, Chris keeps statistics at FLC sporting events, and that weekend marked FLC basketball�s first homestand. (Chris, like a true sports fan, recalls dates by associating them with sporting events. His last weekend at the hospital, he pointed out later in the interview, coincided with the Denver Broncos� game vs. the Cleveland Browns.) So on Monday he visited the family doctor.
�I thought I was going to go in, and they were going to check my lungs out,� he said.
�That was a real shock ... having him say I had the lung capacity of a 74-year-old, and there�s a murmur in there, and it sounds like something�s really wrong.�
A visit the next day to a Mercy Regional Medical Center cardiologist revealed an aortic aneurysm. The malfunctioning aorta was causing fluid to pool in his lung. Thus, the breathing trouble. Aaland was flown immediately to Albuquerque.
Five days later, Monday, Dec. 17, surgeons opened his rib cage, lifted out the heart, repaired the aneurysm and put in an artificial valve.
After the three- to four-hour operation, �I felt almost instant relief,� Aaland said. �I felt like I could breathe like I was a 15-year-old.�
The Community Cares 5K is the brainchild of Ken Flint, former cross country coach and athletics department business manager at Fort Lewis. Flint and Aaland once shared an office at FLC and have known each other since 2000. Flint and other First Baptist Church members agreed that one of FLC athletics� biggest boosters was worthy of some love.
�He�s done so much in the community,� Flint said of Aaland, mentioning also his work as DJ for KDUR-FM and the local music-themed column he writes for The Durango Telegraph. �He�s a community member who�s going through a tough time, and we wanted to help.�
The Aalands have health insurance, but not all expenses were covered � the helicopter flight, for one.
�We assumed some pretty steep out-of-network charges,� Aaland said.
Aaland�s undying love for FLC and sports is unimpeachable. He began as sports information director about the same time he graduated in 1991. In 2001, he left the athletics department to become director of communications and publications, and in 2006, was named director of alumni relations. Even when he left the department, Aaland kept his hand in athletics, keeping statistics at games. He returned to athletics in 2010 to take his current post.
�He�s a tremendously vital asset to Fort Lewis athletics,� Duane Smith, longtime fan, professor, and member of the FLC Athletic Hall of Fame, said of Aaland. �With his wife, they are an amazing team.�
Shelly Aaland has long FLC tenure, too. Then Shelly Harshberger, she played volleyball and was FLC�s most valuable player in 1998. She has been head volleyball coach since 2003.
The seriousness of Chris�s condition really didn�t hit the Aalands until the crisis was over. But if Chris had let his condition go much longer, the outcome could have easily been different.
�If you have trouble breathing for more than a short period of time, don�t screw around with it,� he advised. �Go see your family doctor.
�(Age) 44 is nowhere near where I want the game to be over, especially with a 5-year-old who I want to do things like climb Engineer (Mountain) with.�
He�s made a few lifestyle changes, such as diet, and for the foreseeable future will take the blood thinner Coumadin. But his favored pastimes of fly-fishing and bird hunting are doable, and he can still be that dad who plays basketball with his kid in the driveway.
�All the things I thought I couldn�t do are back on,� Aaland said. �I was starting to doubt some of those things would happen.�

I just hope the clippers capitalize with an (W) and not an (L) because of they might look at this as an easy win and loose focus. Jordan please don't let Drummond punk you or any other down low player. Darren, you got this! Blake, come out strong! JJ, well he doesn't need a lecture because he normally get it done! Crawford, if you're hot then shoot away but if not use you're pg skills and get it done.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that Crawford can be a very serviceable PG. He has had games even as recent as this season of +10 assists in a game.
DJ vs Drummond will be interesting.
We got this cause doc won't let this team over look this sub 500 team , come out stronge and jump on them early !!!! Jd and jj will have great games!!!
How injured are these guys?
Can this game be any earlier? Holy smokes. I won't be watching but I will be checking twitter. Work calls.
I hope DC, JJ, and Matt are okay for this game. Clippers have to win this to get back on track.
This is a good time (for me) to be living in the east coast!
It's my birthday today and I want a Clipper win! Let's go ClipperNation!
Good front court matchup, pistons have been worst at home than away, hopefully that poor showing carry through for us,
Happy Birthday! with a Clipper win
This is perfect for me in the UK! I am really struggling to catch the clips without league pass this season so great news for us over the pond.
Too right. Only problem is I am working tonight so will miss most of it anyway. Might be able to watch the 4 quarter though.
A sprained big toe sounds almost unbearable for a basketball player. Not sure how DC is gonna do it. JJ looked pretty good the rest of the Indiana game aside from bricking shots. It looked like he ran pretty well.
Why is this game on so early? It's not a Sunday.
Martin Luther King Jr Day.
Oh ok. So do people have the day of work then?
In the UK we have several Mondays off a year: Bank Holidays.
I do, dammit. I think most folks are working.
Oh cr*P. I got the East and West coast time mixed up. The game starts just when I go to work so I'll miss it all. That is not cool, one of the few times I could watch a match live and not stay up late into the night and I am working.
Detroit's got some big boys...but they're not a very good defensive team. Coming of playing the best defensive team should make a difference. I sure hope JJ breaks out of his little slump here. Not sure how the bruised knee might effect his play. I like what I've seen from Crawford last 2 games.
Do I smell a Jared Dudley game today? I think so.
If one basketball player likes to celebrate MLK Day, it's Blake.
Last year (in a loss to GS), he had 26 points on 61%, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
2012, he had 23 points, 60% (but only shot 5-13 from the free throw line so he should have had around 28 points), 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in a win against NJ.
2011, as we know 47 points on 79%, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and a block in a win against Indy.
Hope he continues that trend.
Hopefully we can keep them off the offensive boards, with AD, Monroe and J smooth.
I think this game will be close throughout the first half, then we bust it open in the third.
i hope chauncey is playing.. and i also hope griffn lays chauncey down once to show him how soft he is.. that is all for now..
This game could be scary if Blake or DJ get into foul trouble. It will be hard to stop Smith, Monroe, and Drummond if we don't have both Blake and DJ playing big minutes.
No worries we got this period !! Come out stronge and put them away
Your exactly right. Toe injuries are generally impossible to "Play through" in
Unless he gets so doped up before the game so he doesn't feel the pain, I don't see how he is going to play.
Barnes started
Matt Barnes starting over Dudley! That could be interesting.
Wow Matt Started?!? I just checked in to the game.
Good start, Matt is starting, hope this one will work.
Jordan is beasting
I despise the stupid spinning thing barnes does.
This game is super early. Great effort early by Griffin and Jordan.
Redick is bumming me out too.
Barnes getting killed by Josh Smith. Redick looks limited. Bullock is inactive apparently:/. Maybe we will see some Willie....
He's only taken 1 shot. Please don't start....
Interesting that Matt is starting. Probably about time Jared gets to rest his knees a bit. I hope Matt has a great game.
Dj tryna get an all star nod, playing like he has something to prove
Sucks our guys always seem to get injured.
Barnes lazy pass.
Wow Blake
Release the Turkonator lol
Our guards aren't doing so well but our bigs have been dominant
Can't believe I am saying this but I am glad that Barnes dumb ass was benched for Dudley.
He is having zero impact and looks terrified. Not a good sign. On the whole we are beating ourselves with stupid turnovers.
Our defense has to kick it up another level greatly struggling.
I love that nickname. Too bad it doesn't instill fear though. It sounds like some kind of device you use to prep a Turkey during thanksgiving
Actually barnes didn't do too bad. Smith made some tough
shots, but really wasn't due to "Bad defense".
I like the Idea of Dudley playing with the second unit. I think
we need his shooting ability to boost the second unit.

Injuries are our nightmares. But voted for the spurs since CP is winless against them in PO series
Warriors had our number before their latest loss to us, and Memphis always gets our guys worn out and injured.
We are the nightmare matchup
I relate this to the Trojans of the Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart era (minus Reggie's parents effing us up),the team when healthy was unstoppable but most of us fans had a hard to believing it. No matter who the opponent, when on we were untouchable. One year they even had t-shirts printed saying "Yes,We are that good".
I see that in our Clippers. When on their game,we are the nightmare.
Anyway,if you want to win the Finals, you have to fear no team and that is how I am going to look at it until the season ends,however it may end. Jizzlies want to go toe to toe,bring 'em on (Baby will eat them alive). Wubs want to try and out run us,bring them on. Collison will show them what running is really like. Spurs used to be the ones,but after the last 2 years I know we can take them.
Welcome to our nightmare.
No single team scares me, but a difficult road to the Finals scares me.
While I think we can beat anyone, if we have to go 6 or 7 with Memphis, then 6 or 7 with OKC, we might run out of gas against the Spurs in a long series.
If we blast through the first round, watch out.
Spurs only because they are the epitome of efficiency and consistency. And CP3 won 3 games against them when he was on the Hornets when the Spurs had far better players and a far better coach. The series where we had VDN as coach and where BG and CP3 were banged up doesn't count for much.
Anyway I agree our nightmare matchup is health. Nothing else comes close.
The Warriors were lucky that they had refs on their side(BG bogus ejection) and we were always banged up when they faced us outside of the first game of the season. If we are healthy we will kill that jump shooting team.
^ agreed. i have the same line up. I just hope with the additions we made + healthier players will do the job
Nightmare match up will be the Memphis until now the bullying tactics of Zbo to Blake is hard to watch like an injury coming even we won the series with Memphis likely the team will not be healthy coming to the next series which is the Spurs.
"Nightmares" really? If any team is giving us nightmares then we just aren't that good.
We should be cognizant of all potential playoff opponents, but to be overly worried for one single matchup is just showing that we don't believe in our team enough.
It would be way less satisfying if our road to the Finals went through teams like Portland, Dallas, Warriors and then meet Brooklyn in the Finals.
I want to beat the best teams to prove we are actually the best.
I think as long as we have Doc we can get through anyone. Doc and his adjustments and ability to get "more" out of the players is the key IMO.
Doc comes from the eastern conference, so it'll take him some time to figure out the other coaches, and I think he will. People forget that we have a pretty close to elite coaching staff. Our offense is really what people need to figure out how to stop. The question will never be can the Clippers slow down so and so, it'll be can so and so slow the Clippers down?
Doc and Pop are probably the best coaches in the NBA at doing what they do...and that's making adjustments and playing the chess game. In the playoffs I think Doc picks everyone else apart. Jackson and Joerger don't stand a chance. Even Brooks has looked foolish against Doc.
Pop is the only guy I'm scared of. At this point we can all just hope that the Spurs run out of steam by the time we play them.
Rd. 1: Warriors - Beat the streaky jumpshooters and their cheating coach.
Rd. 2: Thunder - Beat the Refs and the NBA's resident crybaby.
Rd. 3: Spurs - Beat the "Terminator" of basketball teams. Near perfect system and execution.
Finals: Heat - Beat the two-time defending champs who play the same entertaining brand of ball as us. Clippers East, if you will.
Sounds like a dream to me.
They're all set up... now we've just got to knock them down.
ten bucks we don't even play the warriors and okc gets bounced in the first round
Spurs are machine and a very talented machine. Think of every strength the Clippers have and the Spurs have something close, or match or supersede it.
Chris Paul generally considered the league's best PG, but then they have Parker, a top 5 PG himself, so they still get high level production
Jamal Crawford, a 6th man who can score, shoot and create, they raise us a Ginobili, a 6th man who can score and shoot just as well, create better and defend better.
Blake Griffin, this one they no longer match offensively with Griffin's improvement, in previous seasons Duncan was the higher impact player. Still, they have the better and more versatile (can truly guard the 4/5) defender in Duncan who is still a very capable offensive player and an elite defensive presence.
DeAndre Jordan, well Tiago Splitter while it might not be as noticed is a very good player, defends quite well for them, and he is better offensively while not being a liability at the line.
Redick, they don't really have a Redick, but then Green is also an excellent shooter and on the other end his length and athletic ability as well as discipline easily beats anything Redick can accomplish on defense with effort.
SF, Granger helps, but that Leonard guy is pretty good.
Even with Collison, they have Patty Mills not destroying the league. Belinelli is doing well for them, Diaw is a better backup big man than any on the Clippers, though Davis has given an improvement there.
They are just a deep team that fits well around each other, have a great system on both ends and are coached well.
Hmm... No one put Pelicans????
Lol, guess we should have
Nuggets in Denver whenever I go to a game.
We don't have a nightmare matchup. Our true battle this year is within ourselves.
I voted suns, Bledsloe will burn us (pun unintentional LEL) and rub salt in the wound for trading him away for Duds
After last nights "effort" I change my vote and agree. We are our own nightmare.
That's some Yoda type sh*t right there, but I agree.
Nightmare matchup we have not, battle within ourselves it is.
Clippers - WCF or bust this year. No chance we don't make it that far. I'll be at the final victory when we take home the banner this season as well.
None are nightmares, we can beat all of those teams. People say the Spurs are old and will get tired in the playoffs, even though they've had a superb regular season. Gonna be fun to watch!
I'm not going to vote in the poll because I think we can beat any of those teams in a 7 game series. Without Redick, we might be able to beat them, but with Redick we definitely can take them all. Bring 'em on!
If the Clippers play them in the playoffs and after the Clippers win:
They'll be too tired and/or banged up when they play the next team. Everyone knows how the Grizzlies play the Clippers (maim, kill etc). Whenever these two teams face off against each other a Clipper usually winds up with an injury following a game against them.
To be realistic, of course I think we can beat anybody, I want them to beat everybody. The spurs are for sure our nightmare matchup, for some reason, ginobilli Duncan and Parker always seem to shine no matter how much hair they've lost. But I agree with everyone else, we are only going to beat ourselves.
I was just watching an interview with JJ at their practice facility from earlier today. Its on the clippers.com site
JJ is saying that his body has responded very well after the first couple games back. If he's got his rhythm back for the playoffs were a different team. I can't wait for the playoffs regardless who we face.
The Spurs.
First, our bench has done poorly. They have never played together. When have Baby, Dudley, Granger, Jamal and Darren ever played together? Never. We have a bench of players who could be starters except Baby and they've gotten killed. Doc's had to mix bench and starters so we don't have a second unit. Parker gives CP fits. We play up or down to the opponent. Pop's boys bring it every night.
It's a battle of the bench and the coaches. If Doc can get consistent effort and build bench cohesiveness on the fly we'll do OK.

I have decided that it is about time to get back to some blogging because I am starting to feel rather lazy now for not having blogged regularly for so long.
When my father passed away I had no time or energy to blog and to be honest time had been an issue for quite a while before that but I insisted on continuing with my daily posting schedule even though it was a struggle. Having taken a break I now don't feel quite so bad about not posting every day, so I probably won't be. After all it is my blog so I make up the rules.
The other problem had been a lack of things to write about. Again time was an issue here and I hadn't really been doing much family history, so as a genealogy blogger it was sometimes a struggle to come up with things to write about or to find time to research the things I wanted to write about.
I have started to do a bit of family history again, although I am getting a little frustrated by frequently running into dead-ends where a visit to an archive or record office is needed before I can continue. The problem of course is that I don't have the time to actually visit an archive or record office at the moment, but I do know that time will come.
I should probably give my blog a bit of a makeover, I think the design is looking a little tired now although I am sure that the majority of you are reading this through a feed reader of some description and will never see my blog on the web for months on end.
As for content, I have lots of ideas about what I want to write about, but in general I want to focus more on Sussex. It is where I live, where the majority of my ancestors and relations lived and where my expertise (such as it is) lies, so it seems natural to me that I should concentrate on Sussex. I know I will sometime stray over the county boundary and occasionally leave these shores, but I would like the focus to be on Sussex.
Whether this actually happens is different matter, but watch this space…

John Vucetich/Michigan Technological University
John Vucetich/Michigan Technological University
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.
The gray wolves in Isle Royale National Park in northern Michigan are increasingly threatened, scientists said this week, with no pups spotted during the last year and concern growing that the animals may have stopped reproducing.
The wolves have long been a symbol of the wilderness character of the island chain, one of the least-visited national parks because of its remote location in western Lake Superior.
Only eight remain, down from 24 just five years ago, according to a summary of a Michigan Technological University study obtained Monday by The Associated Press before the full report�s public release. There were nine wolves last year, and scientists said the entire population could die out soon if the animals don�t reproduce. Wolves usually live only four to five years.
The report comes as the gray wolf population elsewhere in the Great Lakes region has recovered enough for the animals to be taken off the federal endangered list and hunting allowed. Hunters and trappers in Minnesota and Wisconsin killed 530 wolves combined last winter, and Michigan could allow a hunt this fall.
The wolves on Isle Royale, however, have been struggling for years with inbreeding and may now be unwilling or unable to mate, said John Vucetich, who leads what the university and the National Park Service say is the world�s longest study of predators and prey in a single ecosystem. University scientists who visited the island found no evidence that pups were born during the last year � the first time the wolves have failed to produce offspring since biologists began monitoring their reproduction in 1971.
�Next year will be very telling,� Vucetich said in a telephone interview. �If they don�t reproduce two years in a row ... it would seem the end is imminent.�
Inbreeding has been the wolves� biggest problem, causing spinal malformation, among other physical abnormalities, said Rolf Peterson, another researcher. It also could be making the wolves increasingly reluctant to mate.
But disease and a lack of food also could be contributing to the wolves� decline, Vucetich and Peterson said. The wolves prey mostly on moose, whose population in the park fell to about 400 in 2007. Since then, they�ve rebounded � partly because so few wolves have been around to attack them � and now total about 975.
As the threat of wolf extinction grows, park officials are grappling with whether to intervene or let nature take its course. Managers could bring wolves from the mainland to breed with those struggling on the island. Another possibility would be waiting to see if the existing wolves recover on their own. If they don�t, the park could start over with a new group of transplants or simply let the island go without wolves, although that could allow moose to balloon and potentially strip the forests on the 45-mile-long archipelago.
�We�ve made no decisions at this point,� said Phyllis Green, park superintendent. �We need to approach this very thoughtfully before we start tinkering. ... We have to sort through what we can do and what we can learn through either taking action or taking no action.�
Peterson said scientists observed what appeared to be �courtship behavior� within one of the packs this winter, raising hopes for another litter of pups next month. But without a fresh infusion of genes, the wolves� long-term prospects remain precarious.
Two panels of experts are studying the situation, one focusing on the wolves� genetic issues and the other on how climate change may affect wolves, moose and the broader environment. The park service expects to release a report with options for public comment this fall, Green said.
Scientists believe Isle Royale�s first moose swam to the island from the Canadian mainland, about 15 miles away, in the early 20th century. They endured boom-and-bust cycles until a few wolves arrived around 1950, probably by wandering across an ice bridge. As the wolves� numbers grew, they formed packs and helped keep the moose in check.
The island is an ideal field laboratory to study interactions between a predator and prey. Because it�s a federal wilderness area, human activities that would affect either species are prohibited. There are no deer or other major prey animals that would complicate the food chain.
Peterson, Vucetich and other biologists collect bones and fit wolves with radio-transmission collars in summer. For seven weeks each winter, they conduct aerial surveys.
The wolf population reached 50 in the early 1980s before a parvovirus outbreak reduced it to 12. But the hardy canines fought back, aided by the arrival around 1997 of a male from the mainland that reinvigorated the gene pool. Their numbers had averaged a couple dozen until the recent slump.
There are now just two small packs, each with three wolves, and two wandering loners.

Their two win againts pelicans and wolves are questionable, it was a bonus from the ref.
I'd like to see a great defensive effort right off the back. I've only seen us start strong off defensively a few times, usually we wait until the 3rd. I also would like to see a great defensive showing from Blake against Dirk, but realize I might be asking for too much.
Interesting connections here. Collison vs his old team. Redick vs old teammates Ellis and Carter. Interesting matchup between Dirk and Blake (although they will probably put Marion on BG). Dallas is good. I'm almost surprised by their record. But with JJ back, and with Jamal due for a great game...we need to beat their @ss!
Gotta find a way to get "up" against these guys. This game doesn't have the energizing effect of a Grizz, Dubs, Spurs, OKC or Lakers matchup, but they're still dangerous.
Maybe the fact that they're the ones who took out our point-god should be on the bulletin board. I'm looking for a blitz in the first Q like the last few games. And keep an eye on Calderon... he missed a bunch of open 3's last time and will likely be out to drop some bombs.
I like the idea of Monta having to guard Redick and Jose having to guard Collison. Both in theory should get torched tonight, but that doesn't mean they don't do the exact same to us.
Blake just keep doing you. DJ you need to pretend Dirk is Al Jefferson and don't bite on everything, you've improved immensely in that area. Dudley just hit one or two 3's and I'll be happy.
Let's get it boys!
It'd be nice if Jamal could get hot tonight, it'd be great for him and would really help the team.
Team needs to finish off the home stand strong. Knicks are finding their flow outside of their last loss so they may be tough at home and the Pacers are always a tough outing. Rest of the road trip looks easy enough but this team has come out very flat against East teams.
Strange that we struggle against eastern teams. The heat, Pacers, and Atlanta I could understand, but to lose against the lotto bound east teams is odd. There's got to be some underlying cause.
It would be great if Jamal can just be average tonight.
Clippers need to bring out their anaconda defense, lol. Squeeze the Mavs tight and suffocate their offense. I'm hoping Dirk slumps off too to make things easier. It'd be a great way to start a Grammy road trip by winning tonight!
I wouldn't necessarily say we struggle against east teams, 9-6 is ok b=not great but not terrible
I've said it before and I'll say it again... when Ralph eventually decides to hang it up and his microphone is in the rafters at Staples, we'll be in excellent hands with Brian Sieman.
Check out this Blake Griffin mix from his soundcloud...
https://soundcloud.com/brian-sieman/01- ... um=twitter
Some epic calls in there... "What's worse... being a Kardashian or being in the Mozgov hall of fame?".
Brian Sieman is fantastic, it's a Shane that he'll have to replace an all time Legend.
Those are some big shoes to fill.
great mix^
i really hope we shut them down again
9-6 against the east... we need to do better than that!
Yeah right. By comparison average would be hot.
its been great seeing jamal and griffin step up over these last several games
I'm hoping Vince Carter goes for 30 points tonight, but we still win comfortably. VC's been one of my favorite players for years, but the Clippers need to win this one. It would be great to go on a nice win streak without CP3 to get everyone's confidence up.
VC is one of those old gems that is still continues to be a threat but goes under the radar now
and he can still throw it down occasionally
Selfishly, I hope no Mav has a good game tonight. In fact, I want us to beat them so bad, they all contemplate retirement.
Do we have another player named Jamal that I haven't heard of?
Oh the amount of puns we can make with the last name Sieman lol. I'll give it the first shot:
No amount of Seiman can ever compensate for Ralph.
Its funny cause the first pun is "I'll give it the first shot" very funny!
lol, I honestly overlooked that..that was pure coincidence
I'm more worried about what his idiom equivalent of "Lawler's Law" would be.
"Sieman's seed" - You've gotta come with energy!
That shows his name is too easy to make fun of. Oh goodness he is gonna be in trouble!
lol, you know that for one minute when Kevin Love was drafted by the Grizzlies that team would have had Gay Love on their team. When asked about the awkwardness of those two last names on the same team Love chuckled and said "I guess we're going to have to try and avoid standing next to each other"
Lol, awesome. Oh god, its gonna be good times when Sieman takes the the mantle. These puns are the best. Someone suggest this to Tosh.0 on the how many puns in limited seconds segment
From LAClippers "Doc says Reggie Bullock (ankle) is available, but "he's not 100% yet so we're going to take that slow"
So we may not see much of Reggie tonight
Should have kept them together and traded for Ramon Sessions. That huddle would have been hilarious.
I remember seeing this pic ages ago...
Gay, Love, Sessions, LMFAO no one would want to go near that huddle. You could discuss any play without fear of a Rondo eavesdrop
I almost spit out my beer dude LMFAO
LOL, I never thought I would hear a Brian Sieman mix set to Aloe Blacc music. Good stuff though. And I agree, I think Sieman would make a good TV play by play man for the Clippers once Ralph retires.
let's win this... every time I think of the Mavs/Clips match up, I'm always reminded of Blake's potential game winner of a lifetime if Dirk had not flopped.
Although he has to change his last name though, Sieman is just an obscene word..perhaps Brian Man Milk would be more family friendly
True... but I prefer to remember his spectacular screen (taking out 2 Mavs) for Chauncey's game-winner with 1 second left.
Yeah... "Pearl Jam" probably would have been more appropriate for a Sieman mix.
I have a feeling Collison is going to have another big game against his old team.
Cmon Clips!
This will be a good test for the Griffin lead Clips.
Rust? None what so ever.
A Redick bingo!
That's a bad-early foul on DJ. Let's hope he can control himself and stay out of foul trouble.
DJ nice second effort!
Blake to the streaking Redick for the layup!
most athletic offensive rebound by dudley ever.
Collison playing very well to start the game.

No. 5: "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" -- $309 Million
Here is a film that suffers because it comes on the heels of the first two entertaining "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. And as the third in the original trilogy, it was also responsible for tying together all the loose ends.
While it does do that, it does so in terrifically disjointed fashion. And in a film that lives by its special effects, humor and fun, a twist-and-turn storyline is a big, clashing mistake. What the heck was going on in this thing anyway?! Who were the good guys?
Though some may not care because it still "looked cool," it made it impossible for anyone interested in plot to get sucked in. All the cool-looking stuff that was happening required a distracting, "Why?"
And hey, how did what's-her-name's legs always stay shaved?
