It wasn't a shock that Mandy Gerolstein, now Mandy Wilkinson, was recently elected to the USC Aiken Athletic Hall of Fame. That is, to everybody but the Pacers' former volleyball star.
"I was really surprised to get the call considering the stellar tradition of USC Aiken athletics," Wilkinson said Tuesday. "I'm incredibly honored."
Wilkinson played a major role in adding to the esteem of USCA athletics in four years as a student-athlete at the university. From 2004-07, she was a star on the court. Some of her highlights include:
• Being named the 2007 Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year.
• Winning the 2006 PBC Tournament MVP award.
• Being selected to the PBC's All-Conference and All-Tournament teams in 2005, 2006 and 2007, the same years she was also named All-District.
• Finishing her career third all-time in program history with 1,455 kills, making her just one of six Pacers in the 1,000-kill club.
• Finishing second in program history with 484 total blocks.
All of those achievements were reason enough for Wilkinson to have her No. 14 jersey retired, joining Roxanna Rivera and Kim Merrill as the only USCA volleyball players to receive that recognition. But it's her accomplishments as a well-rounded student-athlete that really set Wilkinson apart and made her an easy addition to the USCA Athletic Hall of Fame's Class of 2013.
"She's one of the best players in the history of the program, but she's a complete person on and off the court," said Will Condon, Wilkinson's coach at USCA who's now in charge of the Armstrong Atlantic program. "This is a well-deserved honor. I've been joking with her about it since she graduated."
Wilkinson graduated summa cum laude with a degree in biology and a 3.97 GPA. She was selected to the CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-American in 2007 and was named the 2007-08 Peach Belt Conference Female Scholar Athlete of the Year. She was also recognized as the university's Biology Student of the Year in 2008 because of her work in the research lab of Dr. Bill Jackson. That was where she worked on a project to design and clone HIV-specific ribozymes, which earned her an award from the South Carolina Academy of Science.
After graduating from USCA, Wilkinson went to graduate school at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University. That was where she received her Masters of Science in biochemistry and molecular biology.
"It's harder to be an academic All-American than on the court," Condon said of Wilkinson's achievements. "If you had to build the perfect student-athlete, Mandy is how you'd do it."
Wilkinson's uncomfortable with the attention, regardless of the arena in which her achievements were reached.
She didn't want to harp on her academic success, deferred credit for accolades in volleyball to her teammates and even praised the players that preceded her at USCA as being responsible for what she accomplished.
"The girls that paved the way before me, I think they're such better players than me," said 6-foot-1¾ Wilkinson, who was a dominant force at the net for the Pacers. "I used to look up their stats. It was always my goal to play at their level. It was motivation to be the best."
Wilkinson didn't break Merrill's school marks in kills or blocks, but she made a name for herself. She achieved great things and did that in spite of being the focus of opposing defenses for her sophomore, junior and senior seasons. Teams would work to avoid her or overplay her to neutralize her power. But according to Condon, that fueled Wilkinson to become a more complete player who could contribute in a variety of ways.
"She worked hard on the little things – her footwork, transition play and just getting more opportunities. She wanted to win," Condon said. "From her sophomore year on, she was our go-to player. In her junior and senior year, she was the most dominant player in the conference."
Wilkinson's top memories of her playing days don't have anything to do with individual achievements. Her fondest reflections are of team success.
"Volleyball is such a team sport; you can't do it by yourself," Wilkinson said. "My success was a testimony to how great my teammates were. … I was incredibly lucky to be part of an amazing team and have a great coach."
She said her highlights included winning the PBC regular season championship as well as the conference tournament. She was especially proud of back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament during her junior and senior seasons. In fact, she said some of her most cherished memories had nothing to do with volleyball, other than spending time with her teammates and bonding.
"Just enjoying the journey of growing up and maturing," Wilkinson said. "The entire experience at USC Aiken shaped me into the person I've become. It's very important in my life."
Who Wilkinson is these days is a decorated collegian and a hall of famer. But according to her, Wilkinson's most important roles now are wife and mother.
She's married to Indy Wilkinson, a former pitcher at Wake Forest who's a doctor in the U.S. Army. They have a 17-month-old daughter, Grace Savannah, and are already expecting another daughter.
"I love every moment with her," said Wilkinson, who plans on devoting her time to her children, saying she'll reassess her professional life once they enter school. "She's the sweetest little girl in the world. That's why we're ready to have another daughter."
With parents who are both athletes, it's not a surprise that Grace has already started to show some skills at tossing a ball around. Wilkinson said she's optimistic her children will follow in her footsteps.
"I'm nudging her in that direction," she said of athletics, specifying which sport she'd like Grace to pursue. "If I have any say, she'll play volleyball."
It will take a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve the same level of success as her mother. Wilkinson's part of an induction class that will bring the USCA Athletic Hall of Fame's membership to 30 honorees. That's a very select group, but one that she's thrilled to be a part of.
"I'm truly honored to receive this award. I don't think I'll ever express how much it means," Wilkinson said, proud of her recognition. "In a small way, it means I was important to USC Aiken. It was so important to me."

My 2x great-aunt's second husband Patrick Vaughan is proving to be a hard man to pin down. I put this down to two things:
- He never stayed in same place for long
- His age seems to vary from document to document
Both of these things make me wonder if I have the right man, or even the same man.
I am used to some of my relatives moving about a bit, usually from parish to parish or over the border from one county to another. Patrick on the other hand seems to have hopped from country to country. From his birth in Ireland across to Scotland , then emigrating to Canada. He came back across the Atlantic to England (and possibly mainland Europe) for the First World War, before returning to Canada where he seems to have lived out the rest of his life.
Or at least this is what it looks like. It is hard to be certain because of the variations in his ages across the various documents. The first time I came across Patrick Vaughan was on his 1917 marriage certificate, where his age is recorded as 43, giving a year of birth around 1874. Back in Canada his attestation record from 1916 gives an "apparent age" of 44 years and 2 months, from his date of birth of 17th March 1872.
I think I have found him living in Scotland in 1891 and 1901, his place of birth is correct, but the 1901 census gives his age as 39, which pushes his year of birth back to around 1862. His age in the 1891 census is not clear, it might say 29, but it is not good enough to really be sure.
Going back to Ireland the only likely baptism in the right county and right parish is in 1857. Losing a few years here and there is not a big deal, but it does mean that when he signed up to serve in the First World War in 1916 his year of birth was 15 years out, and he would in fact have been around 59 years old not 44. Interestingly his description does describe his hair as grey.
There are just enough similarities between the Patrick's on these different records to make me think they are the same man, but not quite enough for me to be 100% certain that they are.

My good friend Chris and I completed another section of the North Downs Way today. Bit by bit, as time and weather allow, we are going to walk the whole length of it. Today's section was from Oxted to Merstham, both in Surrey, and I have named it the motorway section (freeway for any Americans reading this) as we had to cross three stretches of motorway and the noise of traffic was an almost constant companion throughout the walk.
I think this was the first time I had been to Oxted, I have no ancestors from there so why else would I need to go? From what I saw it was a nice little town, from the railway station we had about a mile and a half to walk before we actually got to the North Downs Way, crossing the M25 in the process.
The weather was almost perfect for walking, the grass was a bit damp to start from the early morning dew, but apart from that it was bright and sunny most of the time. There was some cloud later on, but it was by no means cold, in fact the first few miles were out in the open and it was getting a bit too warm. Most of the rest of the walk was shaded, which restricted the views but made conditions much nicer for walking.
Although the weather was good, the visibility was not perfect, and although at one point (near Willey Park Farm) we could just make out the tall office buildings of London, it was not possible to see them clearly. It really surprised me, to be in the open countryside and still be able to see parts of London, I wish I had taken my binoculars with me.
As I said the views were limited, but the were a couple of features closer to the path that you couldn't miss. One was the wonderfully Whitehill Tower (pictured above) described in my route guide as a "derelict folly", although I have been unable to find precious little else about it.
No walk along the North Downs would be complete without spotting a trig point, and today was no exception. This beauty was just before we started our descent towards Merstham.
The descent to Merstham and the train home involved crossing two motorways the M23 and back over the M25 again. Fortunately an underpass was provided for the first and a bridge for the second. All in all this was quite an easy section, about 10 miles in all (including getting out of Oxted), although most of the route was undulating their were only really one or two challenging climbs, and they were mercifully short.

Ignacio is looking at some serious belt tightening as the Town Board and staff consider a $660,000 adjustment to its general fund.
�We can�t sustain the town of Ignacio the way we are doing it now without going bankrupt in the next 18 months to two years as I figure it,� Mayor Ena Millich told the almost 25 attendees at a Town Board meeting Tuesday evening. �We have $105,000 transferred out of a grant that shouldn�t have been, and we have to pay it back.�
But that�s not the biggest hit.
Town manager Michael Lee said in 2006, the value of the town�s capital assets such as pipelines and buildings, was mistakenly added to the town�s general fund as though it were cash in the bank. That gave the town the mistaken appearance of having more than $1 million in the fund.
The error has rolled over year after year since then, and trustees and town managers made spending decisions based on that amount, including lending money from the general fund to its water and sewer funds, both of which have been operating at a loss the whole time.
The end result is more than $555,000 less in the general fund than the town trustees thought they had.
�It didn�t disappear, it was never there,� Lee said.
No one seems quite how it happened or why it wasn�t spotted earlier.
�We�ve got board members, we�ve got a city manager, we�ve got lawyers,� Pete Vigil said, �and no one knows what happened?�
Another question is why the auditors, who review the accounting every year, never appear to have said anything.
�Somebody didn�t realize what they were doing and just kept doing what they did the year before,� Lee said. �In my opinion, it�s not anything nefarious, it was ignorance, an accounting error.�
The board is looking at a combination of fixes, and has come up with eight options so far, but there�s no doubt sacrifices will have to be made.
In 2011, the water fund lost about $70,000 and the sewer fund about $31,500. Although sales taxes have recovered almost enough to cover those losses, Lee said, ultimately the water and sewer funds have to start breaking even. Town residents already pay $60 per month for sewer services, one of the highest rates in the state, and $30 to $35 per month for water, which is about average, Lee said.
�I think you should look at a combination of stuff without just raising rates,� Bernadette Lopez said. �I�m not willing to bear the brunt of someone else�s mistake.�
The city is paying off debt to the state of Colorado for the water fund at an interest rate of 5 percent and to the U.S. Department of Agriculture inherited from a bond issued by a sanitation district that dissolved three years ago, which is at a 4 percent interest rate.
�The problem is that they won�t refinance something that�s losing money,� Lee said. �We�re between a rock and a hard place on refinancing.�
The board also will be considering budget cuts, including layoffs, a mill levy, sales-tax increase, which would have to go before voters, grants from proposed gas-fund reserves and looking for innovative ways to reduce water and sewer operating costs.
The town did get a little good news Tuesday. Brainstorm Internet is offering its municipal offices free telephone and Internet services in exchange for permission to build an 80-foot tower in the town�s maintenance yard. That would save the town about $7,100 a year, but first, the board wants to run it by the residents in the neighborhood where the tower would be built.
The Town Board scheduled a special meeting to begin at 6 p.m. Nov. 27 to discuss both the Brainstorm offer and the budget.
�I guarantee not too many people have lost as much sleep as I have over this,� Millich said. �But I have to give credit to the staff. If they hadn�t caught it at this point, we were looking at going straight into the ditch.�

Once upon a time, on a Thanksgiving many years ago, the Native Americans and Pilgrims came together for a time of feast and peace. Ever since 2005, people from all over Aiken, and even from out of Aiken, have gathered together in a style similar to that first turkey day.
One Table is an "event put on by the community for the community," Kathryn Wade, event organizer, said.
Smells of turkeys, mashed potatoes, rice, dressing with gravy, macaroni and cheese, green beans, corn-on-the-cob, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes will mix and waft through the Alley's air this year on Nov. 22 at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"All the food arrives both the day before Thanksgiving and the day of," Wade said.
Planning for more than 3,000 guests, chefs will be plunging away at cooking 150 turkeys – all donated by one person.
Church congregations and community members also put their cooking and baking skills into the pot by contributing assigned dishes or homemade desserts and cold salads, Wade said.
Continuing in the community spirit, about 150 people have lent their time this year to help out with this large-scale occasion.
"They work on the serving line to fill plates, serve drinks and desserts, bus tables, run food between the kitchen and the serving tables and various other necessary chores," Wade said. "We all wear One Table T-shirts and get down to business serving the thousands of guests."
Some volunteers come in for the first time, while some come back year after year.
City Manager Richard Pearce is one volunteer who, after just one year, was hooked.
"It's a wonderful, wonderful event," he said. "It brings the community together in true Aiken style. (As a volunteer,) I cook food, set-up, take down."
Pearce usually has his wife and daughter by his side and had his mother too, before she passed.
"(My daughter) had no idea what went into preparing a turkey for eating, and after cleaning more than 20 herself, she glowed with gratitude as it dawned on her exactly what someone else had been doing all these years so she could enjoy a traditional holiday meal," Pearce said in his Aiken Standard article about his family's first One Table experience back in 2006. "As I spent time cleaning, hauling turkeys and talking with this dedicated volunteer group, then witnessing first-hand the next day so many others cooking the meals, smoking, frying or baking the turkeys, carving turkeys, heating casseroles, serving on the buffet line, bringing desserts to the tables and cheerfully assisting in clearing off the tables, the day's message struck hard: This event is what Thanksgiving really is all about."
Pearce has worked and attended One Table for many years since that day. To his dismay, he will have to
miss this year, but he said he will "be there in spirit."
Since the event is so open to all, the operators can't help but bite their nails a bit about possible food shortages.
"Every year there is a little anxiety toward the end of the day that we will not have enough food," Wade said. "In the end, we always have food to serve, the selection may become a little smaller around 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., but no one goes away hungry."
Author Marti Healy remembers the first One Table, when people had to bring in side dishes because only the turkey was provided, and the set-up was serve-yourself.
"We have some powerfully good cooks in Aiken," she said. "It was an amazing day. The concept is what still attracts me most – all of us coming together as a community, regardless of economic status, age, etc. It is what the original Thanksgiving was all about – and what we too often forget in today's society."
Stopping by the event after her visit to her first Blessing of the Hounds event, it was "one of the most spiritual days I have yet experienced," she said in her Aiken Standard article on the experience. "The tables were laid end-to-end down in The Alley, forming a symbolic cross...To my mind, this is what Thanksgiving Day is all about. Sharing together. Serving each other."
Healy has written professionally for over 30 years and currently lives in Aiken with her dog Sophie and cats Sparkey and Tuppence.
"I love this community, and sitting next to those I know and those I would like to know under one warm sun, and breaking bread together and laughing together and sharing at least one day of each other's lives is one of those things that makes Aiken so special to me," she said.
It was eight years ago, when a few residents, St. Thaddeus' Soup Kitchen and Christ Central Ministries looked around at everyone in town. They saw the young and old, black and white, poor and rich, and wanted to combine everyone, for one day, one feast of real community togetherness. And what better day than Thanksgiving Day.
"It is the one time a year that it does not matter who you are, what you have or do not have or where you live," Wade said. "All are welcome to as we sit side by side for wonderful meal."
Barbara Franklin from Christ Central Ministries joined with Eddie George from Public Safety, who in 2004 had expanded a Thanksgiving meal for on-duty officers to include those who might otherwise be without a turkey day meal, to pull off that first year. They reached out to several people and 20 churches to make that first year the success it was.
George's daughter Jessi George has assisted with One Table since the start, being the Food Coordinator for five of the eight years.
I get with people at local churches and make sure they are committed to their dishes, she said. And on the day, I run the kitchen.
As to be expected with big events, One Table has had its snags. But, every year, it pushes through.
"It's amazing," Jessi George said. "This would not work everywhere. Aiken is special."
Working the event every year makes her feel very proud.
No one volunteer or organization wants to take credit, because it would defeat the point.
One Table is not a hand-out, it's a hand-shake, Jessi George said, quoting the event motto. People are serving each other. It's bigger than us; it's about one community.
Two years ago, One Table added a canned food drive for food pantries like ACTS and Christ Central Ministries. This year, people are still asked to bring a canned food item for the drive.
While no more volunteers are needed, cold salads, dinner rolls and homemade desserts are still being asked for. For anyone wishing to contribute, they can bring the items to Newberry Hall on Nov. 21 between 4 and 6 p.m. or Nov. 22 between 9 a.m. and noon.

The most exciting thing about picking up the latest edition of BBC Who Do You Think You Are Magazine this morning should have been the free copy of the showguide for Who Do You Think You Are? Live, but no, even more exciting than that was the mention of my blog in their article on genealogy blogs.
Audrey Collins had mentioned on The Family Recorder blog that both Anglo-Celtic Connections and Scottish GENES were mentioned in this edition, and I will forgive her for not mentioning my blog (I think she wanted to keep it a surprise for me!)
I resisted to temptation to wander around waving the magazine in front of anyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity, I don't think they would have been quite so excited as I was.
So thank you Jonathan Warren (the author of the piece) and Who Do You Think You Are Magazine for publishing the article, it means a lot to me to be recognised in this way.

One of the outcomes of my visit to two archives last week was that I needed to tweak my to-do list a little bit, but more than that I decided to answer the question that I posed a few weeks ago.
I have decided to tackle my concern with the old IGI citations in two ways. My original intention had always been to replace these entries once I had viewed the original record, so I will bring that forward and view as many of the original records as I can. For any that I can't access (those records physically further away) I will update the source to reflect the new FamilySearch website.
Whilst I am at it, it occurred to me that there are several other indexes and transcriptions that I have used in a similar manner as the IGI, in that they would do until I could view the original records and verify them. These are mostly from the wonderful indexes and transcriptions produced by the Sussex Family History Group and the Parish Register Transcription Society and shouldn't be a problem to verify.
The problem has been that I haven't really worried about doing it until now. In addition to my normal to-do list I now need to create a second list, the priorty is not so high (it is after all just going back over old ground) but every time I visit an archive I should be able to cross a few more off the list. Given that I have dates and places for all these records it should be very easy to find them.
Going forward I need to remember to keep adding new entries to this second list as and when I add a new citation for one of these indexes to my family tree.

-Trade bledsoe and dj for eric gordon and lopez
-trade caron butler and willie green for jared dudley and channing frye
Sign chris kaman for half of mle
Sign barnes to other half of mle
Sign cj watson for vets minimum
Resign odom
Resign cp3
Potential lineup:
Every team needs end of bench projects. He would be cheap, if he develops, you play him, if not, he continues to develop on the bench. Its like how Denver signed Anthony Randolph except he doesnt have the issues. You aren't signing him as a starter. If JVG is hired, I doubt a rebounder and defender like Aminu doesn't get minutes. He's like a Jared Jeffries, and he was New Orelans' best defender (over Lopez) and I think even best rebounder this last season.
If Dwight signs with the Rockets , maybe we can swing a 3 team trade for Asik
Clippers get Asik/Anderson
Pelicans get DJ/Bledsoe
Rockets get Lopez
^ not a huge fan of that trade. we could get a lot more for bledsoe and DJ isn't frowned upon by other teams as much as we think
This would be pretty good, but the money doesn't work.
Asik>>>DJ and Ryan Anderson is a very good shooter. We get a lot better with this trade and frankly it is robbery and doesn't make sense for other teams besides the Clippers.
yea but asik is also getting 8 mill or something isn't he and he isn't THAT much better than DJ. he still has his flaws obviously.
Asik>>>DJ and Ryan Anderson is a very good shooter. We get a lot better with this trade and frankly it is robbery and doesn't make sense for other teams besides the Clippers.
Our team with JVG or Karl's offense would be DEADLY with the addition of Asik and Anderson's 3 point shooting. Only one can wish. I'm sure we'd be better defensively too and our FT% would raise as well! Ryan Anderson and Omer Asik have better FT% than the Clipper starters currently at their positions.
Interesting to note that the Pelicans are now making a move towards free agent Tyreke Evans who can play the 1 or the 2, they just traded for Jrue holiday who is clearly their starting PG. I wonder if they have a deal in place potentially to trade Eric Gordon should Tyreke Evans go to New Orleans.
I just can't see the Pelicans being dumb enough to put Evans at SF who is seriously undersized for that position. And with Vasquez also a PG/Sg there, I wonder what the heck they are doing.
I am in no way saying we should go after Gordon, but he could become expendable if they get Evans. Worth noting that I doubt Phoenix has the assets to acquire Gordon unless they move Gortat and send New Orleans at least 2 1st rounders.
The Hornets are desperate to trade Gordon and for good reason. He is injury prone, has a bad attitude and isn't a max caliber player. At this point I am not so sure the Suns consider Gordon a valuable asset.
Wonder if they would take this trade.Give them Butler and a 2nd rounder for Aminu(S&T) and Lopez.Than they can trade Gordan to the Suns who really want him.They would be a young team so convincing them to take on Butler's expiring contract shouldn't be too hard.Just tell them he could be a mentor for the younger players.
I am still down for this trade. We need to find a third option that can carry the team in the event of a Blake/CP3 no-show. We should be looking a player of that caliber rather than looking for the best role players e.g. Reddick.
Why do you guys want Aminu? I'm not being sarcastic or anything, just asking.
I really don't want him though...haa.
I would be a huge fan of this trade, but like most of the rumors out there, it's probably false.
Pels are trying to unload Robin Lopez for cap purposes, but for that reason I dont see them taking DJ.
I like him cuz he is got a ton of potential. He can be utilized in many ways as well. Over the last year he's gotten much better at rebounding the ball, and if he can work on his jumpshot he'll be a decent player.
I just don't think he has the drive or motivation to play in the NBA.
This team doesn't need people with potential, it needs people that can already ball. News flash! we had amino, he is sucked, no one here liked him and everyone was fine getting rid of him bc he wasn't paul george.
Why do so many people here insist on bringing back our old garbage??
agreee with you!
Aminu sucks! Only for vet min and a third string forward.
Aminu would be awesome if he came cheap, gotta love that length
Aminu is not that bed to come off the bench, 8 rpg in 27 minutes. Each year his points, shooting percentage and rebounds have gone up. Shot 48% last year overall. Not a bad bench player.
Looks like Lopez and Vasquez may go to Sacramento according to reports. That's kinda disappointing. I know others don't like Lopez but I see some true potential in the guy. I guess he would back up Cousins?
http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2013/7/4/ ... s-contract
Scratch that, Lopez looks to be going to Portland now. Also the other guy I was looking at Al Jefferson is going to the Bobcats. Not sure what he did to deserve that!
They backed up a trailer full of cash to his front door, is why he's going to Bobcats.
Al Jefferson doesn't give a rats ass about winning. He just wants to get paid, and that's exactly what he's doing. He's a smart man, banking on garbage teams his whole career.
really too bad this didn't go down - I would have loved to see EJ back in red, white, and blue!

Friday, August 2, 2013
My grandchildren Cade and Payton recently took swim lessons.
Cade's were designed to improve upon his already-burgeoning prowess in the water. Payton's were an effort to make her water-safe.
And for me, it became a lesson in recognizing that there is indeed a "time for every purpose under heaven."
Anyone who has watched a child learn to swim should be able to relate to some of the concerns.
Cade's instructor had been his swim team coach, so her goals at the outset were three-fold: to move him beyond just swimming under water until he needs to breathe and then reverting to a modified dog paddle while taking a breath, then to teach him breast stroke and butterfly. What she hadn't bargained on was his reluctance to breathe to the side.
The instructor spent the bulk of the time on that, deciding that without that skill, butterfly and breast stroke would have to wait.
As a former teacher, I know that there are certain skills that are in large measure developmental, that is, no amount of work on those skills is going to result in the child really learning them until their time has come.
For example, I've watched lots of kids who learned how to read at 3 end up no better readers than most who didn't learn to read until they were 5 or 6.
I asked Cade's swim instructor if at 5 was he is simply too young to fully grasp breathing to the side. It strikes me as possible, though I have no empirical data to prove it.
Meanwhile, across the pool Payton was reluctant to do much of anything. I spent part of each morning attempting to reassure her that she was not going to drown if she went under water. She would cry that she would drown, and I would remind her that the instructor would be right there to keep her safe.
We spent two weeks working on her faith in the instructor and, for that matter, in me. Now, two weeks later, suddenly she's swimming under water, jumping into the deep end and more. So this week I thought I'd work on getting her to float on her back.
And again, the biggest battle is a matter faith. She finally began to trust that I was not going to let her drown, and she's now truly floating. Anyone who has ever tried to teach a kid to swim knows that the biggest hurdle is getting the child past the panic mode and into the relaxing mode.
In my view Payton was finally ready. The time had come. She stretched out her arms, stretched out her legs, tilted her head back and let go.
As an aside, I am reading an interesting book called "The Heart of Christianity" by Marcus J. Borg. He defines "faith" for Christians using four different meanings – assensus or faith as a "belief," fiducia or faith as "trust," fidelitas or faith as a commitment of the heart and visio or faith as a way of seeing.
It's the second one that caught my attention. Borg compares faith to floating in a deep ocean – a metaphor he credits to Soren Kierkegaard: if you struggle, you'll sink, but if you relax and trust, you'll float.
For me Payton was the living example of what it means to have faith. As she let go, as she began to trust that I indeed would not let her drown, she relaxed and discovered she could ride on the water without moving her arms or legs for as long as she remained in that trusting state.
Expanding on the view of faith as trust, Borg concludes, "if you are anxious, you have little faith."
Maybe if I follow Payton's example and work on that in my own life, I might be able not just to float but to walk on water.

What do you guys think our playoff rotation will look like?
I know it's not a final product yet, but I think we are getting really close. With Big Baby signing I think this might be getting close. I think if Granger is bought out we will get him. Don't think he is Lebron's biggest fan, and think he would like to play with a great Point guard. I'm sure he's aware of the possibility of becoming a starter here.
Blake/Big Baby/Hedo or maybe Ivan (I doubt it, but think there is a chance depending on the next few games)
DJ/Big Baby
I think Hollins and Hedo could play situational minutes depending on the opponent cases of foul trouble. If Doc feels we need length then maybe Hollins and Davis, if he wants more ball movement maybe Hedo and Davis. The key is that it will most likely never be Hedo and Hollins.
Barnes and Dudley can also play based on situation, need and opponent. This depends more on Dudley raising his play in the next few weeks and maintaining some type of consistency.
I also think Bullock can get some slight minutes depending on if we are having trouble in certain situations, but I think this will be sparingly if any. There is always the chance that he starts playing very well the next few weeks and Doc feels the need to play him more, but I doubt that he gets that much of a chance.
Not sure if getting Granger is a good thing or not. If it was the beginning of the season, I'd take him for sure. However there's only around 30 games left in the season, and it's very difficult to develop good chemistry during the season. It's different when you sign a backup player mid-season since they don't affect the team as much, but making Granger a starter would be too risky. For now I prefer starting Barnes, backup is Granger if he signs, then Bullock, then Dudley.
That looks good though I am not sure about our SFs just yet.
If that ends up being the rotation then we will be tough to stop. The key is if Granger get back to being a quality player. So far he hasn't looked good this season but I think getting consistent minutes as a starter would do wonders for his game. He will never be what he was but I could see him having a few years in the 14pts, 4rb range left in his tank.
I not really worried about chemistry because Granger would be primarily a spot up shooter. Those types of guys are easy to bring into the fold without ruining chemistry. We have also had such a big lack of cohesiveness at the 3 spot that almost anything is better than what we have right now. Hopefully Barnes is coming around but it is too early to count on that being the case to pass up on Granger if he hits the market.
I def wouldn't start granger at this point.
MB would be the starter IMO, but Granger would def
eat up his minutes coming off the bench.
As poorly as MB has been this season he is actually
doing well the last few games. Hopefully he can keep it up.
It'll be kind of a waste if our starting SF is just a spot up shooter. I prefer Barnes because he's decent playing without the ball, knows when to cut to the basket. He's average defensively, but I think the hard fouls he commits would make opponents second guess about driving to the rim. I don't know if Granger brings more value to the team overall.
Granger is way more talented than barnes and Dudley. For the sake of building a relationship, if he chooses us miraculously he needs to start.
With CP, Blake and Jamal dominating the ballhandling duties we don't need a small forward that is also creating with the ball. Based on the way this team is built we are better off with a sf that works off the ball. That doesn't mean that he is strictly a spot up shooter. Granger can do the same things as Barnes but he has been better at those things in the past. Who knows if that is still the case though after his knee problems.
Granger will open things up.
You don't just throw someone in the starting lineup based
on Talent, unless they are a bonafied starter.
Granger of old Yes, Granger Today no. He doesn't start
in Indiana, and wouldn't start anywhere this season.
Neither would barnes or Dudley. Id risk it.
He doesn't starting Indiana because they have one of the best sf's in the league playing ahead of him. That doesn't mean that he wouldn't start for some other teams if given the opportunity.
You start Danny Granger.
IF he comes here....you let Doc decide that.
The point is the one advantage we have is that he would start. Even a hobbled granger is better than our current small forwards.
I'm just asking what you guys think the playoff rotation is going into the playoffs?
I don't know if Philly even buys him out, and think that if he is a guy that could fit very well if we did sign him. I'm counting Dudley out for the most part. To be honest he hasn't been playing that well this year, and don't think he has fully recovered. I also think his ego had to have taken a major hit. When he went down he was the guy in Indy, then he came back and was the possible sixth man. I think coming into a known situation can help calm nerves and feelings, and knowing that anything else you bring is bonus. It would probably be better than being the favorite child of the family then returning as the uncle that has only stories of his hay day.
I know it's tough to just come in and fit in, but I do like that he comes from a defensive minded coach. Even if he's not the best defensive player he knows it's a priority. Love his competitive fire.
Anyways if you guys don't like the idea, what do you see as the rotation going into the playoffs? Are we going in with a 9 man rotation?
Yep...if Doc thinks so.
Seems like you guys play a lot of nba2k. Unfortunately there
is something called real life.
Players have to fit into a system. We have one that works.
Saying Granger should "Start" is obsurd before you even see how
he plays for the clippers first. Nothing in his play this year or the previous
2 years where he has been mostly hurt could one know how good Granger
is today.
What's weird is in your OP you named 13 players. I'm a fan of 8 player rotations in the
PO. 9 players maximum in certain matchup situations. Say for instance a team
is killing you with small ball, you might need to make adjustments and play a 9th player
just to fit that particular matchup.
I would play almost any qualified 3 over Dudley or barnes. Our system isn't perfect and that position is a major weakness. Granger at least has a PER in double digits. Our current starter options do not.
Looks like Granger is looking at SA or Miami only (if bought out). I think we should go after Earl Clark. More of a real possibility.
Earl isn't really a 3. A tweener but more of a 4.
Like Postman said, the player has to fit the system. He can ball handle, create his own shots, but none of that matters, since CP3 or Jamal will be ball dominate most of the time. Not to mention Blake wants the ball as well. Just because a player had very good seasons before doesn't mean it'll happen on a new team, especially when he's not even going to be a top 4 option when JJ comes back. Granger got great individual talent, but coming into a new team mid-season is like playing pickup ball. We're not going to fully utilize his strengths. Further more, he hasn't played half as well as he did before the injury.
This is talking in circles but my overarching point is that I have more confidence putting him in with 20
Regular season games to go than I do riding Dudley or barnes. Any opportunity to upgrade talent is a must. I Love his game and I think his skill
Sets are well suited to our starting lineup. I know he isn't his old self. But neither is Dudley and barnes until the last game hasn't come close to last year.
I think the playoff starting lineup will be exactly what we see now. At this point we are running our best lineup from last season the one everyone wanted to start the playoffs. We are starting our best defensive lineup that is played together the most and been the most effective the past season and half.
I think after that it becomes about match ups and right now that would be the Blazers so Big baby,Collison,Dudley,and Hollins would fill it out
What about JJ?
What about him? he is becoming this years Chauncey at this point I don't we should be waiting on him but instead proceed forward and then reintegrate him if he is ready by the playoffs. I'm not saying we can't use him but this team has to be preparing for the playoffs
Who would've guessed at the beginning of the season that Dudley would only be our 3rd or 4th option at the SF? I completely bought into what Ralph and Mike were saying about Dudley being a "good fit" for this team. Man, were we wrong.
Matt Barnes isn't an NBA caliber starter, don't let his last few games fool you. He's pretty mediocre at everything except he has a knack for not being intimidated by the moment. But that doesn't change the fact that he's not very skilled.
Let him be the energy guy he used to be in the second unit, BTW this is assuming we get Granger
If we somehow get granger, the rotation is pretty clear to me:
DJ, Blake, and Davis get the majority of the 4/5 minutes, according to matchups, with Turkoglu playing as a 4th big. Hollins would be our IR big man and a source of 6 fouls. Granger starts at small forward as a 3 and D player. Dudley or Barnes backs him up, really depends on who gets hot at the right time. At the moment, that looks like Barnes.
At the 2, I'd start Crawford. I think with Paul and Blake being such great playmakers, having a scoring guard would be great with the starters. Obviously Paul starts across from him.
I think Collison is a score first guy, as is Glen Davis. JJ and his off the ball play would fit in perfectly to creat havoc when paired with Collison and one of Davis or Griffin.
Starters have shooting at the 1-4, + defense at the 1,3 and 5, play making at the 1,2, and 4, and rebounding at the 1 and 3-5. Backups have a scoring wing and big man, with shooting at the 2, and + defense (against the bench) at the 2,3, and 5.
theoretically, Dudley should have been a good fit for the team. He's a great shooter and a decent defender. As the 5th option for the starters, he should be getting open looks for days. Not Ralph and Mikes fault he can't hit the ocean from a boat this season.
I don't know what you guys see in Earl Clark. It's like you want a new addition just to make a move. I'd rather play Barnes and Dudley over Earl Clark..
At the 4 spot?
Clarke would be our PF off the bench. Big Baby would be our Center. Both players can play the PF/C spot.
I wouldn't be comfortable with Clark as our SF unless only for defensive purposes.
That's why I'm so disappointed. It all made so much sense. It seems like Dudley is just one of those guys who can't play on a contending team in a big market (I sound like a Laker fan lol).
He's not only having a bad shooting year, but he's also averaging a career low 2.2 rebounds. Two years ago in Phoenix, he averaged 4.6 rebounds. Those extra boards would be so helpful right now.
Hedo would be situational, not necessarily the part of the standard playoff rotation. In case more ball movement is needed and or foul trouble or extra rest. I also listed Big Baby behind DJ as well as Blake, thinking we would have to stagger their minutes. Big Baby coming in earlier for DJ, DJ coming in for Blake or something to that effect.
Jamal-JJ (either way works, but would like to see if DC and JJ can be productive)
Blake-Big Baby
DJ-Big Baby
I think most of our players outside of Hollins can get situational minutes, but as of right now I would prefer to keep Bullock and Dudley out of the mix if we can get a decent Granger. Before I get blasted, I like Bullock; but think he still needs to gain some comfort within the system.
I've wanted us to try that all year. The only thing that has me hesitating on that idea is the hot starts JJ has gotten to in so many games. I wouldn't mind if we started JJ and ride those hot streaks then continue to play him a bit more with Collison as the game progresses, and give Jamal to ride it out a bit more with the starters. Let Jamal finish the game or you can ride the hot hand.
Jamal has been amazing lately but we need JJ to start the game because of his fast starts.

OK, you might think I'm a nosy nerd, but I noticed your username and have to ask if it's your real name and if so, how you pronounce it. I ask because my name is Chalane, pronounced shu- (like shut) lane. I don't find many people with 'my' name and so it is really fun when I do.
And I like to ask them all about their experience with their name, for instance, if they liked having a different name when they were younger, why/how their parents chose their name, etc.
I see you're new, but already very busy at GS. I joined this year too, but I've not yet purchased PSE; still using scrapbooking software with limited capabilities that my mom gave to me years ago when digital scrapbooking was up-and-coming. It's on my Christmas list and I can't wait to start contributing in the challenges, Survivor, etc.
That's all. Would love to hear from you if you're interested.
Have a fabulous day!!!

I'm looking at a sleeved jersey or jacket to wear to support my Clippers.. which one do you guys like?
2013 Xmas jersey?
Clippers blue alternate jersey
I think that's all they have? Although Paul and Griffin did have sleeved jerseys during the all star game
I kind of wish the blue alternate jersey used the darker blue of the x-mas jersey
Freudian slip in the title?
holy ****.. glad you caught that lol
Dam missed it.
I'm a bit biased on account of them UCLA colors, though. =P
Well I've got the light Blue's soooo I'd say get the Christmas one's... that is what I'm going to get.
And I am anti-UCLA so I voted Christmas (but even without UCLA I like the darker one!).
I like the Alternate one, looks a lot nicer and the color is nice.
The 2013 X-Mas looks like a regular Blue shirt, with a Clipper logo in front, nothing too special.
Neither, you shouldn't support this silly sleeved experiment.

Last week I showed you a postcard of the outside of Holy Trinity Church, High Hurstwood, Sussex, so this week I will give you a glimpse of the inside of the church.
This postcard is a bit of a mystery, it is unused and doesn't name a publisher or photographer. The caption is of a style that I don't recognise, so I am at a loss to tell you any more about this card. If I had to put a date on this card I would have to guess that it was around 1910-15.
I haven't been inside this church (but I really should) and can't find a photo of it online, so I don't know whether it still looks the same inside.

DENVER � Put on your poodle skirts and tune in Elvis on the transistor radio, because it�s starting to look a lot like the 1950s.
Unfortunately, this won�t be the nostalgic �50s of big cars and pop music.
The 1950s that could be on the way to Colorado is the decade of drought.
So says Brian Bledsoe, a Colorado Springs meteorologist who studies the history of ocean currents and uses what he learns to make long-term weather forecasts.
�I think we�re reliving the �50s, bottom line,� Bledsoe said Friday morning at the annual meeting of the Colorado Water Congress.
Bledsoe studies the famous El Ni�o and La Ni�a ocean currents. But he also looks at other, less well-known cycles, including long-term temperature cycles in the oceans.
In the 1950s, water in the Pacific Ocean was colder than normal, but it was warmer than usual in the Atlantic. That combination caused a drought in Colorado that was just as bad as the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
The ocean currents slipped back into their 1950s pattern in the last five years, Bledsoe said. The cycles can last a decade or more, meaning bad news for farmers, ranchers, skiers and forest residents.
�Drought feeds on drought. The longer it goes, the harder it is to break,� Bledsoe said.
The outlook is worst for Eastern Colorado, where Bledsoe grew up and his parents still own a ranch. They recently had to sell half their herd when their pasture couldn�t provide enough feed.
�They�ve spent the last 15 years grooming that herd for organic beef stock,� he said.
Bledsoe looks for monsoon rains to return to the Four Corners and Western Slope in July. But there�s still a danger in the mountains in the summer.
�Initially, dry lightning could be a concern, so obviously, the fire season is looking not so great right now,� he said.
Weather data showed the last year�s conditions were extreme.
Nolan Doesken, Colorado�s state climatologist, said the summer of 2012 was the hottest on record in Colorado. And it was the fifth-driest winter since record-keeping began more than 100 years ago.
Despite recent storms in the San Juan Mountains, this winter hasn�t been much better.
�We�ve had a wimpy winter so far,� Doesken said. �The past week has been a good week for Colorado precipitation.�
However, the next week�s forecast shows dryness returning to much of the state.
Reservoir levels are higher than they were in 2002 � the driest year since Coloradans started keeping track of moisture � but the state is entering 2013 with reservoirs that were depleted last year.
�You don�t want to start a year at this level if you�re about to head into another drought,� Doesken said.
It was hard to find good news in Friday morning�s presentations, but Bledsoe is happy that technology helps forecasters understand the weather better than they did during past droughts. That allows people to plan for what�s on the way.
�I�m a glass-half-full kind of guy,� he said.

Nice but doubtful
So you don't like it from a clippers perspective?
Yes. Good deal for both teams. If I was Orlando, I'd defferently pick Victor O or Ben M.
So their draft pick,and Afflalo for Bledsoe and Butler? I say yes! We could nab one of the top SF's or C's in draft. I have a feeling Bledsoe ends up on the Magic or Jazz, always have felt that way. He would be an amazing fit with the young Magic core of Harkless, Harris and Vujevic.
I'm definitely all for this one. What's Afflalo's salary right now?
Wait I misread. Just Bledsoe and Butler for Afflalo? Hell no. We can get way better.
As good of a fit as Afflalo is... He's nowhere near as valuable as Bledsoe.
So you don't like it from a clippers perspective?
If orlando actually go through with this....then im all in
7.7 mil. Plus we'd pick some 2+mil in salary space to add for additional player(s)....maybe Pierce. 8)
No way man- you're trading away 2 good players for one good player in Afflalo who has missed like 20 games the past two season. Doesn't sound like a good formula for improving the team.
7.7 mil.
That barely covers Caron's salary alone.
Yes do it
Whoever gets Bledsoe gets dj contract butler is expiring contract not hard to move
Clippers should look to get varajeo from cavaliers for dj and butler that's way cavs can draft Otto porter and their line up would be dj Thompson porter waiters kyrie Irving
Caron is definitely not good and Bledsoe is as good as gone and with Afflalo, I don't think we are settling. He is a great defender and a definite upgrade for our team. We will definitely acquire another young talent as Afflalo's contract won't cover both Bled and Butler so hopefully the FO can brew something up. Maybe even get a 3rd team involved.
Well one potentially very good player and one over the hill guy really.
That barely covers Caron's salary alone.
Correct and that gives us 2+mil to spend on another player.
Bad trade and I don't buy this rumor for one second. Insider rarely has any scoops, but they do like to give their opinions on trades.
Why would we give up an expiring contract along with Bledsoe for Afflalo? Why not trade Butler's expiring ( expirings are more valuable in this CBA) and Bled for something better? or make separate trades to maximize what we have. They should be willing to take Butler alone to free up Afflalo's spot for Oladipo or McLemore. That's doing them a favor, not us.
All bogus based on the simple logic.
That's true- Caron is getting old and is overpaid. He did hit a bunch of 3's for us, and we're already a team that's very average when it comes to 3 point shooting.
We get Butler's contract off of our hands and get a solid starting SG! Who wouldn't do this? and we get additional cap space that is worth Bledsoe if you ask me.
CP- Affalo- Barnes - Blake Griffin - Deandre Jordan
All under a new coach should be quite interesting....
We should be getting Harkless or Nicholson in return as well. No way I would do this trade with the current offer.
DJ is not going anywhere... This dude is only 24 years old with more upside than downside and with the right coach (And personal coach) DJ can progress and become a solid center.
With that being said, Butler and Bledsoe for Afflalo and a draft pick... Why not? The Clippers get a solid player from L.A. and a draft pick which I would think it's a first rounder.
Afflalo would be a great fit... This guy plays with a lot of heart, can score, great defender, can play SG and SF. Afflalo has improved each and every year.
Possible Starting Five:
Three way deal Clipper-Magic-Celtics
Magic get
Celtics get
D. Jordan
M. Harkless or Nicholson
Clippers 1st round pick
Clippers get
Clippers sign Pierce MLE
KG-KMart or J. O'neal
We become a vet team, but have a dangerous well rounded squad.
I would also trade Crawford for a SF who can shoot the 3 and play defense and re-sign Green as the backup 2.
Afflalo is a very good player, but Bledsoe + Butler is too much to give up. Now if Orlando decides to give us their pick (or swap picks with us), then we're talking. I doubt that the Magic will do that, however.
Last year was a down year for Afflalo and he's better at the sg spot than sf. Still good deal IMO.
There obviously has to be something else or some sort of picks involved bc of the salaries. I believe Bledsoe is supposed to get around 5mill this year... If some one can check on that
That's true- Caron is getting old and is overpaid. He did hit a bunch of 3's for us, and we're already a team that's very average when it comes to 3 point shooting.
Afflalo is younger, better shooter, much better defender and gets paid less than Caron. What's not to like, LOL.
haha i was confused at first too but hell no i agree i think we can get way better.
He's owed 2.6 mil this year. The trade works.
If they add in Vucevic or a 1st rounder I'm all for it.
Last year was a down year for Afflalo and he's better at the sg spot than sf. Still good deal IMO.
That's true but you also have to consider that Afflalo had to be the main man with the Magic...
If Afflalo joins the Clippers than a lot of that pressure would be taken off thus seeing the usual hard working Afflalo again.
This is a love and hate deal... I would love to see Afflalo with the Clippers but I hate that the Clippers will lose Bledsoe.
^Yep, I agree. Unless Bledsole is given a shot at the staring sg position he's gone somewhere. Where is the question.
Now that's not realistic. Their pick is #2 and Vucevic is a double double machine. Maybe we could get them to throw in Harkless, but we have to be realistic.
I know they are trying to get rid of big baby who would be a great replacement for Odom actually.
We could do:
Hill (retires)
Big baby
Works in trade machine. What do you think of that? I actually think big baby is really underrated.
This is a love and hate deal... I would love to see Afflalo with the Clippers but I hate that the Clippers will lose Bledsoe.
I just still have fresh in my mind that game at the staples center where he lit us up and the Magic beat us.
if ORL offer a 1st rounder. it wont be this year. it will be a future one and most likely be protected.
We could do better than this. I'd really try and push for their draft pick.
Bledsoe, Butler + DJ for Afflalo, #2 pick + Harrington. I'm not sure that the money works but we would have to take on a bad contract.
I'm okay with it more now after talking to Magic fans. Seems like Afflalo was forced to be THE guy in Orlando last year but as some in this thread have said... playing as the 3rd guy next to two superstars who are amazing playmakers... I expect a nice bounceback for Afflalo. Plus the guy is just 27 years old.. so not like he's on the decline yet.
Bledsoe is great and all but he is bound to leave so why not get what we can now? He is definitely not a SG, and CP gets most minutes at PG.
Keeping bledsoe doesn't make sense, we already have Wayns and Billups at most should be returned to a vet min playing PG as a backup.
We need a REAL starting SG. Green could possibly leave, and isn't the best option and Jamal is our 6th man.
We desperately need SG's and SF's since Butler will probably be gone and Barnes wants more money.
I can live with DJ under a coach, hopefully good things happen. Affalo will give us that consistent 3rd scoring option we been lacking.
Works in trade machine. What do you think of that? I actually think big baby is really underrated.
Unfortunately, Big Baby is not underrated....he's terrible. I understand why the Magic are disparate to find a sucker, err suitor, lol. No on the Baby.
Doesn't work $ wise, nor would the Magic do anyway. They do not need DJ.
you get a starting 2 guard for a starting small forward who only plays 20 very inconsistent minutes, and a backup pg who will likely never get any real minutes behind chris paul.. I don't think the trade would hurt us too much, but at the same time i would like to see if there is more out there to get rather than this.. If this is what happens so be it, but id like to see other options too.
Seeing the light.
Unfortunately, Big Baby is not underrated....he's terrible. I understand why the Magic are disparate to find a sucker, err suitor, lol. No on the Baby.
You serious? Big baby was getting 15 and 7 last year in 30 minutes before he got hurt. He's not the big baby you remember from Boston (still fat though).
Somebody with insider plz post this? Seems like the writer is saying Orlando kills us with this trade value wise.
Orlando does have a second rounder this year they could throw in too. Got it from GSW.
Bledsoe, Butler + DJ for Afflalo, #2 pick + Harrington. I'm not sure that the money works but we would have to take on a bad contract.
Doesn't work $ wise, nor would the Magic do anyway. They do not need DJ.
They were going to draft Noel anyways so why wouldn't they need DJ? Vucevic at the PF spot with DJ at Center would be a pretty good young front court minus DJ's god awful FT's.
I always though Vucevic would be better at PF because of his range and he can box out any PF.
^^ we are getting Shabazz!!

This is the look that I was copying the most, her "smokey" version of the look. You can clicky for larger pics. :)
Pretending to be baller like I am in front of a Hummer instead of my apartment wall. Bam.
OAnd then I got inspired with all the hair flippity-flippage and whipped my hair back and forth a la Willow Smith. How did I get my camera to focus? Magic, luck, and unicorns probably.
And just because I'm having too much fun creating gifs here is a practically film-like snippet of sweet hair-flying action. I was dizzy after being "creative" but boy was it worth it.
Ok seriously, who tried flipping their hair around (or thought about it) after reading this blog post? Be honest. XD

Here are some of the inspiration images for this look. First, Prada eyewear:
And then J. Crew came out with their Spring 2011 catalog with tangerine lips galore!
When I first saw these images I was concerned about how wearable orange lipstick would be, especially since I'm not fairy-pale as some of these models were. I don't actually wear bright lipstick all that often so I was uncertain about the wearability of such a bright shade.
Fortunately, I was happily surprised at not only how wearable the color was, but also that I didn't feel as if I were wearing a screaming mouth when I actually did wear it to work.
Not only that but this particular orange, Lioele Crystal Muse lipstick in Juicy Orange, is a poppy yet flattering shade on me and was a workhorse lipstick. It literally lasted through lunch and into the afternoon. I'm telling you, it was shocking! One of the longest lasting lipsticks I own for sure. Not as lasting with gloss on top but on its own it performed way past my expectations.
Onward, for mega face pics action:
And just because it was such a nice sunshiny day, I took a few backlit photos as well. I love the sun rays peeking through! ^__^
Seriously cool how the right lighting can produce quality lens flare action au naturale. I literally only cropped and added my watermark! Straight up camera unicorn magic.
Don't the orange lips go great with the leopard top? I'll talk more about my outfit soon because I recorded an OOTD video the same day. Orange isn't a super common trend color every year but I must say, I am loving it this season from clothes to cosmetics. Whoo!
Anyway, let me know what you think.
Will you be or have you been taking part of the orange lips train this Spring?

No miracle. Clippers squandered this game with their poor free throw shooting. How disappointing.
I wish i could transfer tim duncans consciousness into dj, so we can have a legitimate center who can do more then jump with no fundamentals at all...
DJ is a all star in the D League.. In the NBA... Not even top 10 in centers..
Even God would have a hard time trying to fulfill that request.
Postman has got to be trolling.
These are some pretty big games we are dropping, we can find ourselves bottom seed if we continue to slide like this
Seriously though, we got exposed. I don't know what happened to Blake, but he looked like last year's version. Hopefully this is just a bad game...
And rebounding, rebounding, rebounding...
They had him in the top 10, but I never thought I would say this but DJ is overrated. Even people on this board think he's a top 10 center when that is far from the truth
In my opinion this is not a good game, disappointing rebounds, FT and box's out.
Wtf? You mean the same blake that averaged 18 & 8 that just had 28 &13!? The same blake that has been trying to carry this team!? Oh jesus
Clippers have to re-group, shake this awful loss off their backs, and focus on the game against OKC on Sunday.
We just played against a fully healthy team who has been on a tear as of late. CP3 just came back from injury, JJ is out; and if you don't think JJ is huge for our offense then you don't watch the game.
I must be on the same drug as he because all I see is a team that is facing adversity and is determined to come out successful. Tonight we were not, but it's good to know that we'll keep fighting. After OKC/HOU we have such a slack schedule that'll let us get our rhythm going into the playoffs. I will personally call you out after we make it past the first round in the playoffs. Stop being so doom and gloom, it's a regular season game.
Lakers fan here watching the Clippers. Of course, as I said, I want an L.A. team to be in the Finals -- thus I want the Clippers to win big, especially in the post season. (The Clippers had better eat up Houston in the playoffs, Period.)
But, watching this game against Memphis, it appears to me the Clippers are one player short of a title run. Crawford is not the Crawford of last year. Last year, that three goes down. Griffin is clearly the second best player in the NBA after LeBron. But he needs one more star quality baller to make the requisite "Big Three" that NBA Championship teams need.
If the Clippers cannot pick up that missing player, then DeAndre has to be better than even D12. He can be. So it is up to Doc to get him there.
If DeAndre makes that leap, then you have the needed "Big Three." To me, he is the missing ingredient.
At least Doc has gotten DJ's trade value up a bit, he shouldn't as difficult to trade him than last year. We need a real center who can actually play the position.
Wasn't that the plan after the Spurs loss lol?
Raise your hand if your expecting a loss on sunday. Kinda glad i have work so i don't have to watch that game, maybe I'm a bad luck charm or something
You're right JJ is huge IMO more so than having CP
Wish this Matt Barnes showed up every night...
I wouldn't take too much from these loses. We are a completely different team when Redick is playing. We definitely won't be out scored by their bench.
I HATE when they lose, but we have to wait until they are fully healthy in order for is to criticize the Clippers.
I'm still looking fwd to the playoffs when we have a healthy team. I hate this little downfall we've been on as of late, but we'll get better
We should have traded matt barnes or dudley for kyle korver a real shooter...
Of course. Just trying to be positive as this was another disappointing game. Can't change the last two losses so Clippers have to move forward and do better.
Our free throw shooting,bench,and bigs boxing out has been horrendous.I think we need to move Crawford back to the bench because our bench has been killing us and our starters have been having to play catch up.Move Willie,Bullock,or sign someone to start but we need Crawford coming off the bench.Collison can't do it all himself.
We also need to sign another big.Looks like we are waiting for Monday to see if Big Baby is going to join us but we need to get him or Ivan asap because Blake and DJ are playing heavy minutes and Hedo and Hollins aren't cutting it.Tough loss and a big game against Thunder coming up.
The Spurs blew us out without 3 starters and superstar. We jyust have no excuses.
You are right
Yes, same guy who actually Defended the whole game (aside the foul plague 2nd). Same guy who became our defensive anchor in 4th quarter. Same guy who said it last game that game said he needed to be better on D and he was. Yeah that Blake of 18 &n 8.
We don't match well against grizzlies. I notice no difference from last year to thisb year.
AM really mad a this Game all i can say is if they can't beat Memphis they aren't going anywhere. they lost to the Spurs without Tony Parker and other injury players. they are going to lose to OKC too so yeah.
if we don't get G. Davis we are not going far in the playoff. he can maybe defend Randolph and set screens.
He is not the solution but he can help the bench out. Why is Dudley still there??? we could have traded him for a second rounder lol jk.
Blake was good in the 1st Q. and our free throw was horrible.
am just disappointed
There really are no excuses. Everyone has to step up when guys go down. It just wasn't the Clippers night tonight. Here's hoping that things will be better starting Sunday.
Why is that never OUR team? We're always the ones folding under adversity.
Clippers LTBers -- quit whining. You got a great team with the second best player in the NBA to watch. Try being a Lakers fan for a night. You will be crying like Oscar Pistorius if you had to endure my group of bums. Plus you have a real coach.
I am counting on you to bit**slap D12 and the Rockets in the playoffs.
You gotta!!!
You win some, you loose some, 73% FT shooting would have won this game, so, what is there to really complain about?
Ball movement isn't anywhere close to the same without Redick because Crawford doesn't play in constant motion. The bench has no offensive system and that won't work against a team like Memphis whose bench actually even has some of their better defenders. Their bench can defend.
Grizzlies going under the screens helped to take away some options. One of the best ways to guard Zach is actually to blitz him while he's making his move like Zach did, that was what the Spurs did. Double him on the move and he doesn't have the vision to really make good plays against that kind of defense.
I'm not really for going wild after every loss as if this team is supposed to win every game, I don't know, it's weird to me.
we need JJ i know we could've done way better and what's up with Bullock. it should be Barnes and Bullock not Dudley.
Tuurible Game.
Western conference finals? We are only 3 up in loss column from being out of playoffs. Tough 2 weeks coming, could drop out of playoffs by then. West is tough.
Glad people now realizing CP is good but not fantastic. Last year when people mentioned that they got killed on this board.
We lose nearly EVERY important game. At some point, this can't just be written off as a non-issue.
I'm really angry Paul went to New Orleans.
CP is quite fantastic, maybe his first few games clouded then true perspective of his struggles with his shoulder, but to use a singular game to determine anything just doesn't make sense.
Meh, I've seen that before, just can't take too much out of singular games. I'm more worried about patterns of play. Not helping the helper here and there, some communication break downs, giving up too many offensive rebounds.
The important game stuff, meh, sure they would be great to win, but it is the consistency and sticking to the system and rotations and communication that will carry you through the playoffs, not whether you won or lost important games I the regular season.
We'll see what roster changes are made as the season progresses and how the team integrates them. I haven't thought the team had everything it needed for a championship run since we made all our signings in summer because I have said since day 1 that defense will be the biggest factor. If the Clippers can defend at an elite level, they have the individual talent and now, even the system to be able to score enough to win. They don't need to go Phoenix Suns on anyone, they just he's their offense to be more effective than the opposition.
is there anywhere i can see post game interviews? i would like to know what Doc has to say
i bet you we are going to lose in the first round if we don't get our free throw together and hit OPEN 3's
but we have time to...Sigh..to improve. if we make it to the 8h seed and win it all i will be laughing my Azz up
"Clippers LTBers" ...haha!
I've seen your stuff on LTB and a realistic laker fan is a rare thing, so welcome.
You're right that we're one guy short of being great... that guy has been JJ Redick when he's been healthy. Blake has been getting smothered by smart defenses and our other "shooters" just can't make teams pay.
His absence also take's Crawford's production away from the bench, which is why our bench looks so putrid right now. Hopefully we'll pick up one or two guys who can score the ball and fulfill your wish of spanking the Rockets. To be honest, I fancy them or Portland in round 1 more than the dubs or Suns... the 4 seed might actually be our best option, as the 3 would put us against worse matchups if it's GSW or PHX.
There lies the problem, against the 'better' teams we are always behind, starting to question if this is truly an 'elite' team
I still have to see CP3 elevate his game we can say he had a shoulder injury but 4/13 and 1/10 last two games is not cutting it.
Atleast the spurs lost and hopefully the trail blazers do as well
We are only 3 games off the #8 spot and who knows after Sunday!
Bad news about spurs us suns inch closer to us.
What a crap game. Our defense and offense looked horrible. I can't understand why Chris and Blake don't run the p&r more often. For such a great floor general Chris really can lead to a stagnant offense.
We lost because we missed all the 3 balls from Mullens.
Man, Paul is really hesitant taking shots, especially the Spurs game. I don't know if his shoulder is still bothering him, or there's a lack of confidence. If he's injured, then he should rest, because not wanting to shoot is hurting the team.
He did shoot he was 4/13 and 1/10 against the spurs he is just not making the shots.
