BEECH ISLAND--Three different riders, three different horses, and the same winning results.
Team Hollow Creek Farm's recent success is no accident. The labor intensive approach and winning program of trainer Andrea King has produced impressive performances.
But, it takes a team. Angel Karolyi and Amigo won the $75,000 Upperville Jumper Classic, Victor Segovia and Romeo captured the $60,000 Country Heir II Grand Prix and Emmanuel Andrade and Walter 61 earned blue ribbon honors in the $50,000 Grand Prix of Roanoke.
"I'm excited about the way everything has been going with the team," said Karolyi. "We're very lucky to have a great team. There are so many people involved with our success, our team of grooms, a great trainer like Andrea, the horses, outstanding sponsors and the professionals we have working on the horses."
The tangibles of the riders and horses talents have also played a large role in making for a seamless spring, but a daily routine of intense training, a disciplined approach to producing optimal results, and a focused effort to reach their objectives were all part of the Hollow Creek Farm program.
"It was super," said Karolyi. "It was an unbelievable month of June. That's why we work so hard every day to try to make those kind of moments happen."
A lot of travel is involved, copious amounts of planning required, and the logistics can provide its share of challenges, said Karolyi.
"Andrea helps with that, and she's great at it," said Karolyi. "We're all involved with the process."
Hollow Creek Farm plays a critical role in the success of the program, said Karolyi.
"It's important to have a place to come back to," said Karolyi. "The facility is unbelievable for the horses. They get to be horses at Hollow Creek, and it helps with their training. We have enough land here, so it's not like they're being trained in a fish tank. They're big animals, have ample room and green areas to feel good about themselves."

Example of an Entry
Oxymoron - a figure of speech in which two contradictory words or phrases are combined to produce a rhetorical effect by means of a concise paradox.
The term comes from the Greek oxumoros, meaning "pointedly foolish," which was formed by combining oxus, meaning "sharp," and moros, meaning "foolish."
An example is the word sophomore, which is a combination of two Greek words: "sophos," which means wise, and "moros," which means foolish.
The use of oxymoron is a common poetic device. In Shakespeare's Sonnet 142, the speaker declares:
"Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate."

Pets can be great friends. They're good listeners, they encourage you to exercise, and they're always on your side when you argue with your parents. But, like people, pets can carry infections, and sometimes these can be transmitted to people. Here's how you and your pet can stay infection free.
Some illnesses that pets get — such as feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworms — can't be transmitted to people. But pets can carry certain bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can transmit infections to people.
Infections from animals can be particularly dangerous to babies and young kids, pregnant women, elderly people, and people whose immune systems have been weakened by illness or disease (such as cancer or AIDS).
Zoonoses (pronounced: zoo-uh-no-seez) is the name for infections that can be passed from animals to humans. People get zoonoses when they are bitten or scratched or come into contact with an animal's waste products, saliva, or dander (flakes from hair, feathers, or skin).
Pets may also get ticks and fleas in their fur, and these insects can carry diseases — like Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever — that may make humans sick.
It's hard to believe that your canine companion or feline friend could be guilty of anything other than sleeping too much, but sometimes cats and dogs can pass infections to humans.
Even if pet birds are kept in cages, they can sometimes pass certain infections to people. Fortunately, getting infections from birds is rare, especially if you are young and healthy.
Most reptiles and amphibians carry the bacteria Salmonella (pronounced: sal-muh-nel-uh) in their digestive tract and can be found on their skin. People who pick up Salmonella bacteria after touching reptiles (like lizards, snakes, crocodiles, and turtles) or amphibians (like frogs, toads, and salamanders) can become seriously ill.
Reptiles also can shed Salmonella in their feces, so people can become infected by touching a reptile's cage or other contaminated surfaces. Salmonellosis causes symptoms such as severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever. It also can infect the blood and spread to other parts of the body. Antibiotics can be used to treat these infections, but aren't always necessary.
Even tiny creatures such as hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and other rodents can carry diseases that may be harmful to your health. Most infections from these animals are passed to people through infected feces or a bite. These animals can also cause salmonellosis and ringworm in people.
Pets are popular. As many as 6 in 10 families in the United States have some type of pet, and numerous studies prove the health benefits of having pets, such as reduced stress and lower blood pressure. For some people, pets can be real lifesavers: companion animals help the blind and people with certain health conditions to live fulfilling lives.
But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up after a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of infection. Use warm, soapy water and be sure to scrub under your fingernails every time you wash.
You also can protect your health even further by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the kitchen sink or bathtub; but if you do, always disinfect it with bleach immediately afterward (the sink or tub, that is, not the pet!).
You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pets food that has been formulated for them. It's not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs that cause serious illness — both for you and your pet.
And as funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don't let pets do this. It's bad for your pet's health — not to mention your own if your pet comes up and gives you a big lick on the face afterward! Have clean, fresh water available at all times.
Be sure to bring your pet to the veterinarian for regular visits and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
Many infections caused by animals can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can be similar to other more common illnesses. If you're sick, be sure to let your doctor know if you've been around any sick or wild animals, or had any bites, including tick or mosquito bites.
Finally, some animals aren't pets. As tempting as it can be, don't take in a wild animal as a pet because it may be infected with diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, call an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals. And for your own protection, avoid touching strange animals or animals that appear sick.

The other day I kept telling myself that there are way too many 'trolls' and new members who sign up and its getting very annoying.
I was wondering if the mods can ban new members for a few months!
If you agree, Thumbs up this thread, if not Thumbs down, I want to know if I'm the only one who feels like this is a problem
You should be banned for making this suggestion, this is a forum not a cult.
^ That was a horrible comparison, this has nothing to do with a cult. You my friend should be banned for stupidity.
My suggestion is banning new members for the next month or so because of the playoffs, if you don't agree just thumbs down the thread.
Great suggestion. The trolling is getting out of hand.
Ive been trying to get DAVID to make CTB shirts. 1.5 years went by and he still havent done it. he said it was a great idea.
Trolls come and go on every teams forums all over the Web when it's playoff time or there's an amazing game. Clippers will be a +.500 team for years to come if CP3 stays and people are going to piss and whine all they want and let em'! We have been fans of the worst franchise in sports history for years and we find success and people want to ruin it or talk trash? Go for it. We deserve every single win we get more than any other team in any other sport. Band wagon fans are fine as long as they don't get ridiculous like saying were going to sweep SA and sweep everyone on our way to the finals. Be realistic, we MAY win 2 games against SA pending a miracle.
Let 'em come.
Although I could definitely get behind a temporary suspension of the "personal attack" rule where trolls are concerned.
lmfao awesome. Cleepers you are by the far the funniest member on CTB dude.
Clipper top buzz!!! lol forreal david should be getting paid to admin this forum its getting pretty big!
Actually I have been banning quite a few trolls- banned 3 or 4 between last night and today. But I'm not going to announce a ban every time I do it. Notice these trolls they only got to post once before they are banned.
And let's lay off the personal attacks ("e.g. calling someone stupid")- a member can be banned just as easily for that. Thanks in advance.
Why ban the trolls , I say keep them they make things interesting

I realized that I'm nowhere near as stressed about the team as last year. With Doc I've gotten mad about 3-4 times, with Vinny it was 300 by all star break. Doc makes brilliant subs and overall decisions in comparison. My only consistent gripe is not playing Bullock more, who plays well every time he gets minutes. Then again we can afford to slowly bring a rookie along.
I'm also noticing we are improving as the season goes on and not peaking early, which gives me more hope for the playoffs. Coaches need to really keep pounding defense into this team and everything else will just come down to health. The offense is BRILLIANT and I have zero complaints with it.
Anybody else feel much more at ease about this squaf?
I definitely know what you are talking about. I have felt more at ease with Doc's decision making. I might not like some of his moves, signings of Hedo or Vujevic; but don't feel like they are just empty signings. They seem to have a purpose, even though they might not work out as planned. I haven't been the biggest fan with his fascination with guys who beat him before, but it's of little consequence in my opinion. Doc the coach has been great, maybe Doc the GM still has me scratching my head a bit once in a while; but I do feel much more comfortable with the team and the direction. I do like that he takes his mistakes and moves on.
The biggest thing that I have been surprised by, and didn't really know about Doc. Is that the amount of support and growth he has supported amongst our younger players. Blake, DJ and Collison (Bullock could possibly be included in the near future) have grown immensely in my opinion. I know Collison has had flashes in the past, but I really had doubts and have grown to really like his game. Blake has moved into a whole new level, and is really just taking over. DJ should be the most improved player if he remains at this level, and could very likely be challenging for defensive player of the year by next year.
Whether we win it all this year or not, I feel like we will be challenging consistently and will only be getting better. If not this year, I feel it is only a matter of time.
Honestly, 86. You need a shrink during the NBA season.
I was worried about our recent performance against the teams we might be facing in the playoffs, but last night put my mind to ease about that. The backup big situation and the SF position are still causes for concern, though. Regardless, this is waaayyyyy better than Vinnyball.
Doc is a much much better coach and his influence is huge. I'm glad that the offense has stopped chucking threes and focused more on getting hire percentage shots. Despite their best efforts, we still aren't a great long ball team. My biggest concern aside from our lack of athleticism on perimeter and paltry back up bigs is the defense.
Defense, team rebounding, and if we need a long C/PF is still a concern.
We have been doing great considering our starting backcourt hasn't been healthy for pretty much the entire season.
It's unfortunate that I have to ban you Grill. I've been beyond generous about warnings for personal attacks and even told you about it just 3 days ago. You and I have had this talk 8-9 times. That's 3 times what's required to ban per forum rules. Wish you the best my friend.
Feeling a lot less stressed when DJ's been hitting clutch FTs multiple games.
Still need a backup big though. Once Blake / DJ gets in foul trouble, chances are we aren't going to win.
Yea the backup big proble has been less of an issue since we picked up Hedo. Although a gritty backup center would be great
Namzug great points. Don't forget Crawford learning to play defense and play off the ball at 33 thanks to our coaches. Imagine if Doc/Gentry molded a young Jamal? Guy has been very consistent on D, which nobody expected.
Doc Rivers brings championship experience, and immense coaching experience. With those comes the authority, vision & leadership that the Clippers lacked in previous seasons under Del Negro. His ability to help elevate the games of certain Clipper players cannot be understated.
Doc has been a calming influence on the sidelines, and the players have be extremely receptive of him.
I'm on that Doc Rivers plan - not worried about playoff seeds anymore, as long as we are continually gelling as a team and doing things the right way. Example.. we lose on a dagger by Randy Foye, but I wasn't devastated because we played it the right way at the end.
also 86.. you didn't really just ban Grill over that, did you? All of us could use a shrink with our obsession with the Clips. Haha
Del Negro was just a stressful coach, mostly because was an obviously terrible coach that was out of his league, so it was easy to question basically every move he made.
Ohmeohmy it's a context thing. Grillinnap has a very long history of personal attacks. Specifically towards me, despite my constant leniency. I'm just following David's 3 and gone rule. This forum is getting out of hand with personal attacks and I warned just 3 days ago.
I'm just worried about the consistency of our defense, if we got through the PO it will be a winning mode for the Clips.
Reasons for why I think Clippers can win championship based on last night:
We did not back down from the blazers, it was a staring contest and we DIDN'T blink.
Absolutely RIDICULOUS shots made by blazers those 3s hand in face great defense and still... I mean Really? and we didn't get phased.
Didn't get phased by some bull ref calls.
We now have TWO legit scorers that can play in the clutch, and Crawford, and then DJ stepped up when we needed him to!
We finished the game off with defense and put them away with defense.
I'm glad we won last night, hate to lose such close important ones.
Offense wins games, Defense wins championships - yesterday.
....and today and always will. You did see the SuperBowl,right?
And to answer the question,more stressed now then 5 (and 10 and 15) years ago when we sucked. When a team sucks you have no expectations and wins are just bonus fun. Now there are high expectations and the tensions is thick. NOw I am worried about playoff seating and having to face those damn "Dubs" again.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|2nd June 2008 06:27 AM
Was out on the weekend in 20+ knots. I must tell you I was really impressed, I was sailing with my 08 NP V8 6.5 in 19 to 26 knots. I hit 28,4 knots on the GPS which I was pretty happy with as there was around half a meter+ of chop, and could feel that the board had a lot more speed in it, I must admit I was not going flat out (it was the first time I was on the board). I had the 36 cm fin on it and had no spin out at all.
I was really impressed as to how the board remained controlable through the gusts it was great - guys well done on designing a great board - now I just have to try it out in the lighter winds (13+knot) - I will update the thread once done.
So far exactly what I was looking for and can highly recomend for any sailor who weighs around 75kg and wants a slaolom board for 13 - 25knots.
|30th May 2008 01:55 PM
|Thanks Maximus - will give it a bash - wind still looking great 18 - 25 knots tomorow and Sunday.
|30th May 2008 11:45 AM
You can run the 42 & 34 with the 7.5. Change down to the 34 when getting to much back foot pressure. 34cm will be perfect with your 6.5
Remember add plenty of downhaul with the Isonics as they have low nose rocker and v8's have plenty of grunt anyway, so max it!
|29th May 2008 02:09 PM
My new Isonic 101 has just arrived, and it looks like the wind is going to be blowing between 18 and 25 knots on the weekend, so things are looking pretty good.
I do have one question though - I have 2 slalom sails a 7.5 and 6.5. 2008 NP V8's, the 2 fins that came with the boards are 42 and 34cm fins - which sail to use in what range of winds, I generall use the 7.5 till about 19 knots, is the 42 not a bit big between 16 to 19 with the 7.5 or is it ok. isnt the 34 to small around 20 knots? I do have a mean 38 slalom that I have been using up till 20 knots.What do you suggest?
|13th April 2008 05:51 PM
Hey Guys
I am hoping that you can help, I have a similar problem, I have recently started racing and have found that my free ride gear is not up to it. I have recently got 2xNP V8's, 7,5 & 6,5M. I currently have a 06 Carve 111, which I have been really happy with until now, but it is just not competative with the Falcons.
I have placed an order for an Isonic 101 and from the dimensions I am hoping that it will plane earlier than the Carve and also be a lot faster- as my firends are getting away from me in lighter winds (13 knots) - we only have 2 or 3 races below 15 knots - the rest are between 15 and 30 knots
Am I correct in assuming that the wider tail is going to make a much bigger difference when racing in lighter winds? Will I get planing earlier on the Isonic 101 than the Carve 111. the rest of the dimensions are very similar to the Carve?
Oh I weigh 75kg - is the 101 the right board?
Look forward to hearing your comments

Hi Mark H
thanks for the link but seems is not working any more.
Hi Taty,
thanks for your suport i definately will go for the is101
|27th March 2008 04:31 AM
|Taty Frans
Hi All,
I weight 73kg and Am about 173 in height..
If I had to choose I will not close my eyes and take one but i will see what benefits me and my $$$.
As a rider who gets to try almost all the boards, I will give you my opinion.
The 101 is a board that i personally like and I have sailed it in Open water with 1 meter swells and like the handling very well. it doens't get nervous like the 94 or 96 does..
Sailed with it with my 6.8 down to 6.3 and didn't had any problem even in overpwer conditions with wind 25 knots..
Maybe it's me that like big boards but with a 70kg the 101 It should be enough for you..
at 20 knots max, the 101 is sure a board to go for..

I recently wrote that the clipper "might" win out. I got some heat and I understand the tall task that would be. I admit that there is only a slight chance of that happening.
My point with that thread was more to point out the lightness on paper of our schedule and the improvement of our team.
I have done a little homework and here I will do a little write up of our chances at getting a higher seed. I think 3 seed VERY likely. 2 seed is doable. 1 seed is a stretch but not as impossible as it looks. 1 overall? slim but NOT 0.
I have here the schedule of "inter-big-7 matchups" What are the big 7? IND,MIA,LAC,SAS,OKC,HOU,POR. these are the 7 teams at the top of the NBA. Currently only 4.5 games separate these 7 teams. the next team is 4 games behind that, so we can clearly see these 7 are the class of the NBA.
Looking at the games left the clippers just have to worry about themselves because the other teams will loose plenty just because they are facing each other so much. This is NOT a scenario were we need to win and then hope say the BOBCATS beat a team we are chasing, no the other 6 teams will lose based solely on VOLUME of inter-big-7 games left. So below you will see the numbers and schedule.
home away total
sas 2 3 5
ind 2 2 4
okc 2 3 5
lac 1 2 3
hou 5 3 8
por 1 3 4
mia 3 2 5
mia @ sas
ind @ hou
por @ hou
hou @ okc
por @ sas
hou @ mia
We don't need to win out. We just need the 2 seed, Redick back, and total team chemistry and confidence going into the playoffs.
I can see us getting the 3 seed, but I feel like the 2nd seed is just too far away considering the spurs and how good they are.
It's all about match up the west. GSW, Memphis, and Suns are all bad match up. There's no gimme.
if we stay at the 3 seed we'll probably end up going against the warriors in the 1st round.
I don't think that GS is a bad match-up for us. If you consider the facts, being we are one of the best (if not the best) 3pt defense in the NBA right now. Then you take into mind that GS practically lives off that 3 point line. I just think that we are brewing rivalry, so it makes it seem like a worse match-up than it is.
^ When teams trap Curry up top, GSW's offense falls apart.
really all we can bank on is Home Court Advantage in the first round...hopefully one of those top 2 squads (San Antonio, OKC) gets upset in the 1st round, allowing us to hold Home Court in the 2nd round.
Mathematically possible but unlikely we take 1st or 2nd in West
honestly we might be best off staying at the 4 seed and playing either portland or houston in the first round
I'm with you bro... I believe we can beat any team if we keep the same kind of defense we are doing right now... I don't believe we are a bad matchup against GSW we played badly against them last time but that was a back-to-back game it was a guaranteed win and without cp3 which can lock on curry esp. on the perimeter... while i can understand why we don't like matching up with mephis, i do think we can beat them at 5 or 6 game in playoffs Zbo can longer check on blake just watch the last game we played with them we lose that game but blake got 30+ points were in previous game blake only averages 14 points a game when we matchup with them... Blake griffin will be the key for us winning the playoff series
this is NOT about avoiding or hoping for a particular opponent in the first round. We are facing either POR,HOU,GSW,PHX,DAL OR MEM in the first round. If I had MY pick I quite frankly don't know who i'd pick, probably dallas but besides that they are all equally scary and challenging. I don't think the clippers should play the lets position ourselves to face (fill in the blank) or avoid (fill in the blank).
The GOAL is to 1. get HCA in the first round by either finishing ahead of either HOU/POR or both which is not a given. 2. get HCA in the second round by getting 2 seed. 3. get HCA in the WCF by getting the 1 seed. 4. get HCA in the Finals by being 1 overall seed.
is the least likely
very good chance
almost for sure
those should be the goals.
I definitely agree that we can beat any team. I also don't think there are really any easy teams in the West; I think that if we could position ourselves to the point where OKC and SAS have to play each other before they have to play us that is a plus. If we could throw Memphis and Goldenstate into their bracket too that would be an extra bonus.
Ideally (doesn't mean it would be easy), we could match up against Dallas first and play the winner of Portland vs. Houston. While OKC has to play Memphis, San Antonio has to play Goldenstate, and then winners face off. This is not due to thinking we can't beat any of these teams in a series, but due more to having whoever we face off against in the WC finals go through two grueling series'. I'm a strong believer that this has benefited the Eastern Conference team champ the last so many years. Mia has gotten the benefit of playing less grueling series throughout the playoffs and being just a bit fresher for the Finals (not that they wouldn't win either way, but that is probably a big help).
We need to climb as high as possible we have been very suspect on the road this year. Team feeds off the crowds and when we go into different arenas if the crowd gets into the game we seem to hit bad lapses. May be true of most teams we just play at a whole different level at home so the more home games the better.
Spurs actually have some tough games coming up:
Heat tonight
@Chicago on 3/11
Portland on 3/12 (b2b)
@ GSW on 3/22
@ Denver on 3/28
@ Indy on 3/31
GSW on 4/2
@ OKC on 4/3 (b2b)
Memphis on 4/6
Phx on 4/11 (b2b after Dallas the night before)
@ Hou on 4/14
You have to figure they will lose at 3-5 of those games, which gives us a shot of catching them....
Should be aiming for highest seed. 2 is realistic but 1 would be even better, clips are clearly a much better team playing at home, we need that homecourt advantage as far into the PO as possible to give ourselves a chance at a deep run
Miami @SA tonight, heat lost their last game so don't see them going back to back, lets hope they can put the spurs away
The Rockets have the Pacers next too, I'm also hoping the Mavs beat Portland. Let's go ahead and start making our way to #2.
Seeing all these other teams play each other and salivating at the opportunity of catching them has given me a weird feeling we might blow it losing to the lakers,hawks and bucks of the world. Please Clippers take care of business with all these easy games.
the spurs are beating the Heat , can ya believe that.
i want us to be in the 2nd seed ASAP haha
The heat ALWAYS have one good run every game they are down, lets go phoenix too.
I feel like Phoenix keeps taking out the teams we are chasing, props to them.
Charles Barkley just said we are going to win the West. What did I just hear?
I almost teared up. When we get jj,jamal and Dudley back well be 11 deep. I think turkoglu can contribute once his conditioning gets better. We are starting to peak at the right time. The stars and planets are aligning! #itstime!
Man, I'm praying for Spurs 1st seed now. 2nd or 3rd against OKC is best outcome.
3 seed 1/2 a game away. 2,1 and 1 overall exactly the same 4 games away from the loss column. After houston loses to portland or okc, number 1 overall here we come.
Am I missing something is Hou better than what I think. Are we just a good match up? They seem to be giving everyone trouble, but I don't see them as real contenders just yet.
I think Houston is a serious contender. They did really well last year in the PO and the addition of D12 helps. They might surprise some ppl.
I think id rather play the blazers than the warriors - not sure how advantageous 3rd seed is.
Getting to the #1 or 2 seed is possible just not highly probable. It's layout nicely in this article by Steve Perrin:
http://www.clipsnation.com/2014/3/6/547 ... n-the-west
mia @ sas. Sas wins
ind @ hou. Houston wins
por @ hou. Houston wins
hou @ okc. Hope houston wins? To get closer to okc? Miami will take care of Houston later in the week?
por @ sas. Hope portland wins or have sas give us more separation from Portland?
hou @ mia. Miami all the way, silver lining if miami losses we get a tad closer to.Miami.
por@mia. Miami
mia@ind. Meh
lac@hou. LAC
sas@ind. Indy
sas@okc. Win/win but well see how standing are in a month
okc@hou. "Same as game above"
okc@lac. LAC
ind@mia. Meh
okc@ind. Indy
sas@hou. Well see
lac@por. LAC
OKC being smart ... Losing on purpose so they don't have to play Memphis
That's fine, it's not like Golden State is going to be much better. I don't really mind getting Memphis, but I think I'm in the minority. I think it would be great for our team to have a solid showing and show just how much we have improved in the last year by putting a whooping on them. I would also like San Antonio to have to run into Houston on the way up, because for some reason I don't think they match up well with Houston.
Either way after taking a second glance at the teams that look to be entering the playoffs only Dallas looks like a team that I would consider out of place (not necessarily an easy out). With that said, as long as the Clippers are playing great Defense and moving the ball I think we can beat any team in the league in a series.
It would be nice to have home court advantage for the first and second round. Rockets just lost tonight so hopefully they lose another two @Chicago and @Miami. We need to beat the Warriors and then we get Utah, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Milwaukee, and New Orleans in the next 6. We could go on a 15 game winning streak before playing @Dallas.
Considering Portland recent collapse and memphis and golden state getting hot, they have officially joined the party so I will now include matchups with those two teams as well for two reasons. 1. the way they are playing they are as hard a matchup as houston and portland. 2. there is A LOT of talk of lets avoid (gsw or mem) in the first round so clippers fans will be watching those games closely as playoff matchups shape up down the stretch.
the possibilities have just gotten ridiculous. We can face portland,GSW or MEM as a 4-5,3-6 or even a 2-7 matchup. Portland can fall as low as 7!!!!!!!! 1 seed is not likely our best hope is the 2 seed. Por,gsw and memphis will occupy 5-7 so Dallas is also not likely since they are likely stuck at 8th. Its pick your poison time. Mem,GSW or Por?
home away total
sas 2 4 6
ind 3 2 5
okc 1 3 4
lac 1 2 3
hou 3 1 4
por 1 4 5
mia 4 2 6
mem 2 4 6
gsw 2 3 5
Getting 2nd place or maybe even 1st is completely possible now. Think we'll be 7-1 or 8-0 in next 8 games, mostly depending on how we'll do back to back in Dallas and Houston.
But if you get 3rd seed you might get to play the Warriors. I would think you would want that just for the pure ''entertainment''. I would like that, regardless of who wins. It would be a fun series. I would like Warriors 6th to play the 3rd place Clipps.
^ And if we get the 2nd seed, we still might play the warriors... Memphis is sneaking up on you and it wouldn't surprise me if those duds started playing like whipped dogs after getting their arses handed to them last night.
Not really, Memphis has been within a couple games for quite a while. But last night's game wasn't really reflective of the final score. The Clippers won by 13, but never led by more than 13 throughout the whole game. I mean it was just a good win for the Clipps, they didn't exactly kick the Warriors ''arses.'' A win is a win, but that's all last night was.
^ Watch out for those grizzlies... they're coming to getcha!
That's not so important though. But the Warriors have a lot of home games so if they take care of business, they should be 6 or even 5. Portland could drop too.
^ Easier said than done when they've lost a third of their home games so far.
Of the 16 games remaining, our most difficult games are @ Dallas on 3/27, @ Houston 3/29, @ Minnesota 3/31, @ Phoenix 4/2, vs OKC 4/9, and @ Portland 4/16. I see us going at least 13-3 the rest of the way. That would put us 59-23; a 3 game improvement over last season. Hopefully that's enough for us to get the 2 or 3 seed.
we have 2 weeks before the next "hard" game against dallas. If Jamal and/or JJ come back by then I seriously think we can win out.
I think we end up with the 2 seed. OKC has several tough road B2Bs, including one against us. The problem with getting the 2, I think Memphis will be 7 and they are heating up....
I never liked the idea of trying to get a seed because you are
"scared" of an opponent. That's so lame to me. I believe clippers
are the best team in the NBA and will beat whoever in a 7 game series.
I'll take memphis, warriors, whoever.
Portland is a finese team. That's the team I want to play so we don't get too banged up
Memphis would be a disaster - we can handle anyone else.
Agreed. If they're not hitting the 3 ball, we can definitely take care of them relatively easily. Since we hold our opponents to a league low 32.9% from beyond the arc, I really like our chances against Portland.
I also like our odds against Houston since we've beat them 3 times already. Surprising, I would rather play the 4 and 5 teams rather than 6 and 7, Golden State and Memphis. I think we would still beat GSW and Memphis, but we would end up tired and beat up afterwards since they're both physical teams.

With Doc wanting OJ, I think we are getting OJ and that might involve getting rid of Butler somehow to offer OJ the 7-8 mil. he would be after. I am a bit worried about our SF situation more than the SG situation. Mayo would mean we trade Bledsoe, Green or Crawford as it just does not make sense to have 4 players, which are so similar. I think we might end up getting OJ and trading Bledsoe for DeRozan, which would give us both starting SG and starting SF, who can score at will...and play little credible defense (huh)?
45% shooting overall, 41% from three, 15 points a game, 3.5 rebounds, 1 steal, in his mid 20's. Easily my favorite rumor since Doc.
I remember being mad that we didn't get Mayo in the 08 Draft. O.J. is a poor mans James Harden and the perfect 3rd player on a contender.
Tony Allen is my #2 option at SG.
Nets are adding Korver with the 3.1 million dollar mini mid which ALL teams get.
Got it, thanks. Just seems like teams like the Lakers & Nets have an unfair advantage because their teams were so far over the tax before the CBA so if their owners don't care about money, they can stay up there & teams like us can't even get up there if we wanted to.
But if we move Butler's expiring for a pick, to a team that misses in FA like Det, possibly even S&T with Dallas, then we can give Mayo $8-$9 right?
Trust me it will change. A lot of teams already are trying hard to shed cap because of the death tax penalties. Knicks, Nets and Lakers know they only have a 2 year window at best so are going all in. They will blow up their teams after 2 more seasons.
I believe the Clippers, or at least Doc Rivers wants Mayo simply to keep Bledsoe and DJ here. Problem is, I really fear Bledsoe's restricted free agency after next season. We can't pay Bledsoe oodles of money, and DJ is making way to damn much. Unless Doc can somehow coax Bledsoe into signing an extension to take less money.
I will be absolutely crushed if we lose Bledsoe for nothing. Seems Doc wants the current team in place to make 1 big push for a Championship, win it and if we lose Bledsoe for nothing he will say at least we got a ring out of it. 1 ring can't replace multiple rings if we got players locked up long-term.
It seems to me like he is trying to inflate Bledsoe and and DJs value by saying how much he really wants to keep them all around
Speaking of rings, do you know how happy I'd be with 1 ring. I mean I hope we win every year from now on, but 1 I'd be ecstatic!
This is a possibility. Front office needs to go behind Doc's back and trade Bledsoe if they think something out there is really great. Honestly, if the Magic really did offer up Nicholson, Afflalo and a 1st rounder for Butler and Bledsoe I would have pounced on that without a 2nd thought. That is a steal if there ever was one.
Doc Rivers loves playing defensive PG's at the 2 spot, see Avery Bradley. His goal this past season was to start Rondo and Bradley together, but sadly Bradley was injured for part of the year then Rondo bit the dust. Like I said before, I have no problem using Bledsoe at the 2 spot to start. He's a great defender, and yes I realize he is shorter than most all SG's but CP3 also guards shooting guards as well.
I'd just rather trade Bledsoe and/or DJ if teams are knocking down the door.
Arye Abraham @arye_abraham 5m
O.J. Mayo is scheduled to meet with the Clippers, Bucks, Pistons and Jazz today in Beverly Hills. He met with the Wolves late last night.
Looking at a purely basketball aspect we are the best option for him from that list, but of course money talks.
Gosh,I remember the good old days when the season ticket reps were touting we were getting Mayo in the draft. So get your seats today!
Pistons are morons if they truly are interested in Mayo. How many combo guards does 1 team need?
idk oj got caught using steroids in memphis. i think i prefer JJ Redick bucks are letting him walk away
Today Fox Sports said
"Doc called Mayo personally."
I would have posted the link but all that's important is this sentence.
@ESPNSteinLine: Add a new suitor to Bledsoe sign-and-trade derby: Clips and Mavs discussing Bledsoe-for-OJ Mayo in live S-and-T scenarios
Wow BoomRizzle u were quick! Thought I had this update. lol Props
The only thing i'm good at in life is posting twitter updates, i have a dull life.
If we had a choice between OJ and Afflalo, I would take afflalo (even if I can't spell his name).
If the Clips has to trade Bled, Mayo would be my top choice because I think he'll fit in the best compared to the other choices. I think Mayo will elevate his game to another level playing alongside CP3.
With the report of Doc calling OJ personally last night, I think this is one rumor with some traction behind it.
Come home OJ!
So we would have a sign in trade for mayo?
Bledsoe for mayo??
Hmmm- why give away Bledsoe when you don't have to? Not liking this at all. You want OJ Mayo so much, just sign him outright instead.
I agree, if its a sign and trade how much are we going to pay OJ? offer him the 5 mill if he doesn't like it then walk away.
Player comparison between OJ, Redick & Aflallo... OJ seems like the best fit to me by far.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... mp;y3=2013
Better all-around player & playoff performer has to be Mayo
did u just decide oj is the best fit after looking at numbers?
U can't tell how he'll literally fit until he's on our team. But numbers are the next best thing. So yeah, comparing our needs to his career numbers, I did do that.
thats what I'm saying... so far I'm not impressed at all with the options clippers have been looking at for eric bledsoe. we can do SO much better its ridiculous
Well wouldn't you just choose the person who has the highest number?
If the Mavs sign Mayo and then trade him to the Clippers for Bledsoe, then does that mean the Clippers still have an MLE to use on someone else? Could that be why they are discussing a sign and trade? I really don't know the answer those questions...
Mayo does look like the best player, until you start looking at some of those advanced statistics.
that is probably why. they can still have their MLE to sign others.
Not saying I'd want to do this but if you send Bled/Willie to Dal for OJ, we'd still have the midlevel to use on another piece. I think AK47 is too focused on money to come to L.A. for 5.5mil per year but something like that could be possible.
Could even try to bring the Knicks into something like this if they really want DJ..The Mavs would probably have to come up with something else in order to make this work, maybe they send that to NY and we end up with Chandler as well.
Clips get Chandler and Mayo
Mavs get Bled and Willie
Knicks get Deandre and Mav's future 1st
Dont think Bled is involved in that S&T. OJ would be a direct swap to Butler salary wise and thus we keep Bled, which seems to be Docs intention anyways with just adding more pieces to the most of the squad we had last season.
We keep Bled & the MLE while DAL at least gets Butler if OJ is leaving anyways.
The Dallas trade talks are definitely involving Bledsoe. There is literally no point whatsoever to waste 8 mill on Butler's contract, he's not a consolation prize for losing Mayo.
I don't really want OJ but if this trade goes through at least the clippers still have the MLE + Butler's expiring to use.
Hopefully we take a look at Carl Landry.
I do bc they'll still suck donkey balls.
I didn't even know. This deal just got better for us if true.
Dallas was preparing to get Paul or Howard this off season, they won't get either. Butler's expiring puts them in a good position to make a run at LeBron.
Wow! Mayo for Butler? Do it, and do it now! We can trade Bled for a good stopper SF and we're settled for the title.
No way Mavs are doing a sign and trade just for Butler. Bledsoe would be involed in a sign and trade deal for OJ per Marc Stein's tweet.
Mavs want Bledsoe and Barnes for Mayo.Butler isn't involved in this at all.
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/9443123/los-angeles-clip pers-consider-sign-trade-deals-jj-redick-oj-mayo-according-sources
Ramona Shelbourne said the Mavs are interested in Matt Barnes or Chauncey being involved in the S&T for Mayo. Hopefully Chauncey!
Depending on how much Mayo is getting paid,it could be all 3.But I agree with you I would rather they take Chancey.
Them wanting only Chauncey would be a dream come true. I would HATE to lose Barnes, but much as I don't want to admit it Caron may be a better mentor for Bullock than Barnes would be. Ugh, that left a bad taste in my mouth just saying that.
I would hate to lose Barnes also, I hope they take Billups.
When they started talking KG from Celtics, I wanted to see what a team that had Barnes & KG in it would look like. Damn! Maybe we can ship Billups to the Nets for KG. Who's Deron William's backup PG right now anyway?
If Mavs fail to land Howard i dont see them taking billups over barnes. The only reason to have mr big shot is to tutor bledsoe and larkin. Im not sure that would be necessary if the Mavs arent a top notch contender. If they want to be a dark horse pick, Barnes is more useful and will actively make the team better with his effort.
That being said, of course Id like them to take Chauncey. I like OJAM a lot.
really? How are they going to ask for bledsoe and barnes when their guy is a FA? beggars can't be choosers and i don't feel like we are the beggars here..... But i do think that Mayo is the best fit for this team
Bledsoe and Barnes for mayo is a ripoff for us. Please don't make that trade!

If Spider-Man, like other superheroes, tries to elude the public and masks his identity, one of his fans did it a different way.
A man in a Spider-Man costume went around Poland during broad daylight and posed in places where the public can easily spot him. His prank often got thumbs up, but sometimes a frown.
S.A. Wardega hit the subways, buses, and parks in Poland wearing his superhero costume. He hanged upside-down from the rail of a subway, where some elderly stared at him, confused. Younger crowds laughed and snapped photos as he hugged a light pole and joined street dancers.
Instead of shooting web from his wrist, Wardega sprayed silly strings to traffic officers, surveillance cameras, and a bunch of teens gathered in circle at a park.
He even tried daring stunts by taking an escalator with both feet and hands resting on the handrail, and clinging outside a moving train.
An elderly man from the subway wasn't a fan of his prank, though. The man asked him to sit properly on the train instead of dangling upside-down from the rail.
"It's not Olympiad," the man said. Everyone in the train laughed.
Wardega's video has been viewed more than 1 million times on YouTube. Aside from his Spider-Man video, Wardega gained following on YouTube with his other videos, where he dressed in outlandish costumes and went out in the streets.

Faron Thompson tried to force fiancee to swallow engagement ring, deputies say
Man faces multiple charges in Orlando
A Florida man was arrested for allegedly trying to force his fiancee to swallow the engagement ring he gave her, according to a report.
Faron Thompson, 29, faces multiple charges in Orlando, where he's apparently not handling very well the woman's decision to end their four-year relationship, clickorlando.com reported.
MUGSHOTS: Who Got Arrested In South Florida?
The woman was moving things out of the home Sunday when she left the diamond engagement ring on the kitchen counter, and when she went to retrieve it, she discovered that Thompson had it, according to an arrest report cited by clickorlando.
That's when Thompson tried to force her to swallow it while holding her down, she told authorities. The woman also told them Thompson threatened to burn down her house and pushed her against a wall while she was holding a 1-year-old child, the clickorlando.com report said.
Thompson was taken to the Orange County Jail and then booked on charges of battery and child neglect.

A 13-year-old Rifle girl is deep in the dumps about the absence of her beloved horse.
The girl�s mother, Tina Holtz, said by phone Wednesday that the saga started with an injury.
�We had two mares, but after I got a concussion in a horse accident and couldn�t ride for six months, we sold them,� she said. �Mataya (the daughter) can�t ride alone.�
The mother�s mount and Phoebe, a 19-year-old grade quarter horse that Mataya rode, were sold to different buyers the weekend before Thanksgiving, Tina Holtz said.
Then, on Jan. 4, Holtz saw that the Durango woman who bought Phoebe was selling her on Craigslist. When she called, the horse already had been sold, and the seller didn�t have the new owner�s information.
Mataya is struggling with the loss.
�She�s not deeply depressed, but she�s having a tough time,� Holtz said.
She asked anyone with information about Phoebe to call her at 987-9954.

Public Understanding of Science, Technology & Economics
The Foundation develops various television projects, many through PBS, to help integrate science and technology, along with profiles of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, into the nation's regular programming.
Foundation-supported shows such as PBS's The American Experience, the longest running history series on television, receive support for highlighting the role of science and technology in society, and for broadening our view of the nation's history and of the central role of science, technology and engineering in the country's narrative. Recent programs on The American Experience include The Rise and Fall of Penn Station, and The Poisoner's Handbook. The Foundation also supports economics coverage on The Newshour with Paul Solman's on-air and online program Making Sen$e. The Foundation has supported National Geographic Television on such shows as Guns, Germs and Steel, Darwin's Darkest Hour, and James Cameron's upcoming Deepsea Challenge. Some programs, such as NOVA's Hunting the Elements about the discovery and scientific role of the periodic elements, celebrate scientific and technological breakthroughs and milestones, while others reveal just how little we know, and how far we still have to go, such as NOVA's The Fabric of the Cosmos hosted by physicist Brian Greene. The Foundation has a longtime interest in the under-appreciated role of women and minorities in science and technology, and is supporting work about such figures as Lise Meitner, Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, and Hedy Lamarr.
The Foundation also supports television programs based on projects it has sponsored in other media. Programs have resulted from books such as Deborah Blum's Poisoner's Handbook, and plays such as Michael Frayn's Copenhagen.
The Foundation also continues to develop various film projects with cable and broadcast networks.
The American Experience's latest Sloan-funded documentary Tesla premieres on October 18, 2016. The film explores the life and work of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the physicist and inventor who was instrumental in creating the alternating current (AC) electricity supply system and had nearly 300 patents during his lifetime. more
Watch the two-part series Brains on Trial with Alan Alda, supported by the Foundation, which explores neuroscience and the criminal justice system. more

This blog focuses on the two hobbies which give me great pleasure (most of the time), walking and family history. As described yesterday I had plenty of family history resolutions/goals in 2010, but I don't think there were actually any walking resolutions.
I did end up walking the South Downs Way in 2010, which I had hoped to do for some time, but it wasn't really a new year's resolution. I also walked parts of the North Downs Way and the Capital Ring around London in 2010, but again I wouldn't consider either of them to have been brought about by a new year's resolution.
For 2011 however I have a pretty clear idea of the walking I want to do. I haven't really considered whether it is actually going to be possible to fit it all in, and of course a lot will depend on what the weather is like.
The walks I would like to complete in 2011 can be divided into three categories:
Long Distance Walks
South Downs Way – I want to do the South Downs Way again, this time it will probably be from west to east, and all in one go. In 2010 I walked it on one or two days a week, but in 2011 I want to take a week off in the Summer and do it all in one go.
North Downs Way – In 2011 my friend Chris and I need to get the North Downs Way finished and out of the way. We have about five days worth of walking to go, but it is a bit of a headache getting out into Kent to actually do it.
High Weald Landscape Trail – This is another walk Chris and I hope to complete in 2011, and one I am really looking forward to because the first half is through true ancestral landscape with opportunities to many churches along the way.
Shorter Named Walks
There are several shorter routes dotted around the south east that I would like to walk:
Worth Way – A fairly short walk (about seven miles) along a disused railway between Three Bridges and East Grinstead (both in Sussex). It shouldn't be particularly challenging but will serve as a nice little warm up for some of the longer/steeper walks.
Chalk Stones Trail – Another shorter walk, taking in part of the South Downs and the village of West Dean, Sussex. What is there not to like?
There are also several shorter walks in London that I wouldn't mind doing, and I would like to revisit the site of the 2012 Olympics and see how the building works have progressed over the intervening months.
Genealogy Walks
There are lots of places that I want to visit, just to go and visit the areas where my ancestors came from and explore a few churches and cemeteries. In fact there is hardly a village in Sussex that isn't on my list (admittedly it is as yet an unwritten list) of places to visit and photograph.
The list isn't just limited to Sussex, there are plenty of places in Kent, Surrey, Hampshire and London that I want to visit. I definitely want to spend more time in the town of Alton and the village of Exton, both in Hampshire.
Unlike most of the other walks, these walks will be more about the destination rather than the actual walking itself. All I need to work out is how I am going to fit it all into 12 months.

Former NFL safety Corey Chavous spoke to UPS workers about the importance of giving back through their local United Way chapter. His speech was part of Thursday's UPS United Way fundraising campaign for United Way of Aiken County.
"Some of the United Way members asked me to come out and talk about what it means to be a part of the community and contribute to it," said Chavous, who is a former student of Silver Bluff High School. "I'm very supportive of United Way's efforts and what they have accomplished over the years."
UPS is supporting United this year through a deduction program that gives money to nonprofit.
UPS management continued its efforts to give back by fulfilling a dedication to its employees. Thursday, following a previous fundraiser, several employees were given opportunities to "pie" their bosses. The event was one of UPS's many ways to make their charity work enjoyable.
"UPS and United Way both look for ways to generate enthusiasm for our campaign," Rodgers added.
Last year, that enthusiasm translated into countless opportunities for the local community.
These include the Aiken Area Council on Aging providing 39,645 congregate dining meal, 61,950 delivered meals to seniors, and provided transportation for over 4200 clients, The Lower Savannah Council on Governments Medication Assistance Program providing $760,884 in prescription drugs, Children's Place providing therapeutic childcare for over 150 at risk preschoolers, and a host of other completed tasks.
Overall, contributions to the local United Way of Aiken totaled over $3 million last year, with a large percentage of those funds stemming from UPS contributions.
"UPS takes United Way very seriously, and we've had them go to different United Way agencies to find out what we do for the community," said Mandy Sims, a United Way Supervisor. "So it's really just a culmination of those events to show employees how significant their contributions are."

Looks like we won't get him back next season sadly. If he leaves Doc to take that same role under Steve Kerr that would really upset me. Who can we get to replace him? Tyron Lue getting interest too. This offseason sucks
This was always the worry that Doc's coaches would garner interest from other teams. I just hope that Gentry gets a head coaching job instead of being part of Steve Kerr's staff.
I don't blame him to leave to be the head coach somewhere- but not to take the same role under steve Kerr.
Gentry's under contract with the Clips and it would be foolish for him to accept another associate coach's position. If anything, he'd want to get a head coaching position. That would make more sense.
If Gentry leaves, wonder if Mike Dantoni would consider being our offensive coach. As long as he has NOTHING to do with the defensive side, I think Dantoni could flourish.
Our offense was really good under Gentry, don't know if he was running it or Doc was, but both sides of the ball were really good at times. I hope he doesn't leave, as I mentioned countless times before, Let the players learn the system, MEMORIZE it, and we'll be the next SA spurs.
If I had to take a guess, I'd say an assistant coaches impact drops off significantly after the 1st season the team is together.
I feel as if Gentry already laid the foundation of our offense and now we can just build off of it through Doc.
Again, I'm taking a random guess. I have no idea how important an assistant coach really is.
That being said I will be sad if Gentry is gone.
mike dantoni did pretty good with a bunch of scrubs for the lakers..
his offense might be pretty good for the clippers..
our defense was great..
and if dj finds an offensive post up move...like the hook shot i saw once in the playoffs..
that would be nice..

Lionel Hollins To Interview For Lakers' Coach Opening
Lionel Hollins has emerged as a head coaching candidate for the Los Angeles Lakers and the team plans to interview him later this week, according to sources.
The Lakers have also interviewed Mike Dunleavy Sr. and Byron Scott.
Hollins reached the postseason in each of his final three seasons as coach of the Memphis Grizzlies before being let go due to acrimony between he and the front office.
Like Lakers' management, Kobe Bryant is hopeful that the franchise finds a coach with a proven track record.
Via Adrian Wojnarowski/Yahoo! Sports
http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/23 ... vin-Gentry
Lionell Hollins is the 3rd or 4th best coach in the league if you ask
me. If we didn't have Doc I'd want Hollins for sure.
He doesn't get much credit, but he turned Grizzlies into a defensive
machine, and got the consistent production out of Zach Randolph
that no one thought possible.
He developed Marc Gasol, into DPOY, and will def be in a few all-star
games during his career, when people felt like the lakers "Stole Pau Gasol" basically
insinuating Marc was his useless little brother.
Marc will arguably be better than Pau when it's all said and done.
Best of luck to all of them.
Got the best out of Randolph? Hasn't he always been considered a 20/10 guy most of his career? Under Hollins, his production has gradually declined. Might be his age but saying Hollins did what no one else thought possible his a stretch to say the least. he's always been that player.
No I said his consistency. I've been a Randolph Fan since he came in the league and
have followed him. Not just talking about consistent stats. His buy in, attitude, and defense
have all been problems throughout his career.
Randolph can stuff stats, and has always been able to do so, but being an anchor on a contending
team was something most teams didn't believe he could do.
Just read the reports from when he left portland for NY then to the clippers. With those
stats he should have been getting K-Love treatment (Every team putting in a bid)..
His production is down now because of age.
In what league? Because he's certainly not top 3 in a league with Pop, Carlisle, Doc, Thibs, SVG, Spoelstra, and even new up-and-coming coaches like Hornacek, Stevens, and Joerger.
WHy can't he just stay with us? Number 1 offense in the league, and you want to go to some rundown like the Lakers or Jazz, stay with the Clippers man, we'll get you a chip together!
I just realized I pasted the wrong headline. I was supposed to post the Gentry one instead. My bad.
Does anyone else think assistant coaches returning after interviewing for head coaching jobs are a slap in the face?
No. If Assistant coaches are still under contract (Gentry is), then they got the blessing from the team, coach, or both to go interview. Bottom line, every assistant coach's dream is to be a head coach.
its just like an apprenticeship eventually they'll take the top job (somewhere)

The Ohio Cup, part deux
Friday lineup vs. CLE
Phillips 4
Cabrera 6
Votto 3
Rolen 5
Gomes 7
Bruce 9
Stubbs 8
Hernandez 2
Aaron Harang 1
*Orlando Cabrera is 8-for-60 in his last 15 games, including a current 0-for-18 slide. He is out of the leadoff spot for now.
"At-bats are piling up for Cabrera," Dusty Baker said. "Maybe getting some non at-bats, some sac bunts, some hit-and-runs and different things will take some pressure off him."
Cabrera has a better chance to break out tonight since he is 7-for-18 (.389) in his career vs. Cleveland starter Aaron Laffey.
"I know but when you're not going good, track record don't mean nothing," Baker said. "He had a good track record against some of the guys on the road too."
Baker was asked if the just-signed Gary Matthews Jr. could eventually fill the leadoff role.
"Matthews has got to get his act together first," Baker said. "How do you do that without your act being together? Matthews is going to Triple-A to get his act together. If his act was together, he'd be playing somewhere and probably leading off."
*Ryan Hanigan was 0-for-2 Thursday as the DH in his first rehab assignment game for Triple-A Louisville.
*Homer Bailey (right shoulder inflammation) said he is going to resume a throwing program on Monday — nothing too intensive at first however.
"I feel like I can probably start throwing now," Bailey said. "I feel pretty good. But we have this plan working. It seems to be going pretty well. We'll take our time and stick with it."
*Reliever Mike Lincoln (strained right side muscle) hoped to begin throwing by next week.
*Tonight is Irish Heritage Night, so the Reds are donning green caps for the game vs. the Indians.

I have already written quite a bit recently about the various children of Henry and Jane TROWER of Henfield, Sussex. Henry TROWER and Jane HAYBITTLE were my 3x great-grandparents, they married in Henfield on the 3rd November 1847.
Henry was the son of William TROWER and Mary TIDEY. He was born on the 26th April 1823 presumably at Harwoods Farm, Henfield and baptised not in Henfield but at the Providence Chapel, Brighton. His parents going through a non-conformist phase at the time.
Jane HAYBITTLE was the daughter of John HAYBITTLE and Harriett WOOD. She was baptised on the 16th December 1827 in the neighbouring parish of Ashurst, Sussex.
They seem to have spent almost all of their married life in Henfield, mostly at Harwoods Farm, but in the 1891 census they were living in Rusper, Sussex where Henry was still farming as he had always been whilst in Henfield. By 1901 Henry had retired and they were back in Henfield, living in Church Street.
I have mentioned Mercy, Martha, Mary and Jane in past posts, but there were thirteen children altogether. I shall try and cover each of them in a bit more detail, but in brief their children were:
- Abraham TROWER (1848-1930)
- Anne TROWER (1849-1920)
- Isaac TROWER (1851-1911)
- Mercy TROWER (1852-1929)
- Faith TROWER (1854-1870)
- Luther TROWER (1856-1912)
- Mary TROWER (1858-1918)
- Sarah TROWER (1859-1930)
- Jane TROWER (1862-1922)
- Ruth TROWER (1864-1950)
- Ebenezer TROWER (1866-1956) my 2x great-grandfather
- Martha TROWER (1867-1942)
- Eliza TROWER (1870-1940)
Jane died on the 14th October 1905 aged 77 years and was buried in Henfield Cemetery on the 17th October. Henry's death followed shortly afterwards on the 25th October (aged 82) and was buried on the 28th October. I have featured a photo of their gravestone in a previous post. Their grave was on un-consecrated ground, presumably as a result of Henry's non-conformist baptism.
I have been unable to find a will for either Henry or Jane. Abraham had already taken over farming at Harwoods Farm many years ago, and there was probably nothing else left to worry about.
The lives of Henry and Jane TROWER seem quite mundane and what I considered to be quite typical of my ancestors lives. However, once I started looking at the lives of their children all sorts of more interesting stories started to appear.

Investigation into the widespread credit-card fraud that targeted numerous people registered for this year�s Iron Horse Bicycle Classic continued this week. The Durango Police Department had received 78 reports as of Thursday afternoon.
�It�s very complicated, with lots of moving parts and lots of players,� said Ed Zink, chairman of the Iron Horse organizing committee. �We�re getting great cooperation, and everyone wants to solve this, including people whose cards were adversely affected.�
The first fraudulent charges apparently took place during the first week of February, and the fraudulent charges range from $200 to $1,400. The Durango Police Department requested assistance from the FBI last week.
�They have a lot more resources than we do,� said Lt. Ray Shupe with the police department. �We�re pretty confident the cards were hacked from outside the country. But we don�t know how long this will take, or where we are on the FBI�s priority list.�
The Iron Horse website, which does not store credit-card data, was not breached. The race uses third-party companies such as Mercury and Plug and Play for credit-card processing.
The situation is sort of like looking at a row of apartment houses, Zink said.
�We�re just one apartment,� he said, �and it does not appear that it started with us, but with one of the other apartments in the complex. This is not unique to us. We�re not the front door.�
Zink said the Iron Horse has taken down all of its websites until the situation is thoroughly understood. He was heartened by an email he received Thursday from a compliance officer with one of the agencies working on the investigation.
�She handles situations like this all day long,� he said. �And she said, �Don�t panic. You�ve done all the right things to contain this.��
People who suspect their debit or credit card has been compromised should first contact their bank or credit-card company and then contact the Durango Police Department by calling dispatch at (970) 385-2900, said Capt. Dan Shry.

Man arrested after Orlando street-racing crash that injured several
Police say Ronald Lastra crashed into 5 other vehicles, pedestrians
Police have arrested a 22-year-old central Florida man they said was involved in a street-racing crash that injured several people.
Ronald Lastra faces numerous charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving that caused injuries and unlawful racing.
The crash happened early Sunday morning near Orlando International Airport. Lastra was arrested Sunday night.
Orlando police said Lastra crashed into five other vehicles and pedestrians.
Two people -- a 17-year-old and a 28-year-old man -- were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition. Other pedestrians were injured, and police said they sought medical attention on their own.
