Last week was a good week, for once I think I accomplished pretty much everything that I had set out to achieve. Admittedly I had set my goals pretty low, but if that is what it takes then so be it.
It was mostly a week of scanning. At long last the four wills that I received several weeks ago have been scanned, along with all the newspaper articles from last weekend and the weekend before. I am really pleased to have got them all captured digitally at last.
I haven't thrown away the originals of the newspaper articles yet, because I haven't quite finished transcribing them all, but this week I will get them finished and bin the paper copies. Then I can make a start on transcribing the wills, but because I paid good money for those I won't be getting rid of the paper copies any time soon. I didn't attempt to scan any bits of the large Ordnance Survey maps that I bought from the West Sussex Record Office, but I might give that a try this week.
I am not sure what else I am going to do this week, I think I might have a bit of a look around and see what other pieces of paper I have that need scanning and transcribing. I also need to have a look in my "current projects" folder, most of the projects are no longer current, they still need completing but I don't know when I will get around to it, so I might as well have a bit of a purge and see what I need to keep and what I can throw away.

Professional Science Master's Degree
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Professional Science Masters (PSM) program was founded in 1997 to establish a new type of master's degree in the sciences that equipped people for work outside academia.
The Foundation recognized that the existing path to a doctorate degree might not be the best for many science-trained professionals, given the long period of study required, the low rate of completion and the difficult labor market.
Over more than a decade, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has funded more than 50 universities in the establishment of more than 100 degree programs. In 2005 the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) was funded to be an institutional base for PSM growth, with the goal of making the degree a normal, recognized, widely accepted academic offering.
The Foundation has also provided grants to improve data on science graduate education at the master's level, engage minority-serving institutions in PSM initiatives, support outreach efforts, create statewide PSM initiatives in the large state university systems, and bring the PSM initiative to the attention of state legislatures and governors' advisors on workforce and economic development.

Brennan Linsley/Associated Press
DENVER � Gays, lesbians and their allies celebrated a long-sought victory Thursday when Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law the civil-unions act, giving same-sex couples most of the rights of married people under state law.
Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, sponsor of the bill, addressed a raucous crowd of hundreds at the History Colorado Center, beginning his remarks with the words, �Dearly beloved.�
And yet, Steadman said, the new law stops short of full marriage, both in the symbolic use of the word and the hundreds of benefits under federal law that married couples have.
�We are achieving a significant milestone today, and yet we know this is not the final resolution,� he said.
Hickenlooper said the state�s new history museum was an appropriate place for the ceremony because it is a historic law.
�It is a moment that the whole community has waited for for so long. And, really, it�s the beginning of the whole country changing. Change is going to keep going. It�s not going to stop in Colorado,� Hickenlooper said.
Actually, it�s more like the middle than the beginning of change on a national scale. With Hickenlooper�s signature, Colorado became the 19th state, plus the District of Columbia, to recognize either civil unions or marriage for same-sex couples.
Another sponsor, Speaker of the House Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, thanked the half-dozen Republicans � including Durango Sen. Ellen Roberts � who supported his bill through the last three years.
Most Republicans in the Legislature voted against the bill this year. Arguments centered on the lack of a �conscience clause� for people to refuse service at businesses or religious nonprofits to same-sex couples because of moral objections to homosexuality.
Democrats brushed aside Republican attempts to send the bill to voters for approval.
It was just six years ago when Colorado voters rejected domestic partnerships � similar to but weaker than civil unions � and added a ban on same-sex marriage to the state constitution.
And it was a little more than 20 years ago that Colorado voters adopted Amendment 2, which banned laws protecting gays from discrimination. The U.S. Supreme Court later overturned the law.
Steadman said he was there that election night with Amendment 2 opponents.
�That was a very tragic moment, and yet it gave us so much hope and so much momentum moving forward because we didn�t take that defeat sitting down. We went on the streets, and we went to court,� Steadman said. �Because of the work that followed that loss, incredible progress was made.�
Since 2006, the Legislature has passed several anti-discrimination statutes and made it easier for same-sex couples to adopt children and inherit each other�s property. Steadman and his allies saw the culmination of their work Thursday.
As Hickenlooper began signing the bill, using 12 commemorative pens, a man in the crowd shouted, �It�s happening!�
With the governor�s signature, the Legislature now has done about all it can do for same-sex couples. Only voters or the courts can take the final step of legalizing same-sex marriage.

Fire season has arrived early in Southwest Colorado, firefighters warned Thursday.
A controlled burn on Red Ridge Road in the Animas Valley north of Durango got out of control Thursday afternoon, scorching one acre, said Karola Hanks, fire marshal with Durango Fire & Rescue Authority.
The landowner built his burn piles, obtained a burn permit and informed dispatch he would be burning, Hanks said.
�(But) pretty soon, he wasn�t burning piles,� she said. �He was burning the hillside.�
Southwest Colorado is in a drought, and it received below-average moisture this winter, she said. Even though the dirt looks moist, the vegetation has very little moisture, she said.
Hanks said, �We don�t see a change in the immediate forecast that gives us any indication that we�re going to be getting the moisture that we would hope for.�
It is safest to burn early in the morning and have fires out before the winds pick up in the afternoon, Hanks said.
�It�s spring in Southwest Colorado, so we acquire wind almost every afternoon,� she said. �Therefore, you want small piles so they�re completely burned through by the time that wind picks up.�
She asked residents to report their controlled burns to dispatch before burning. If the land is not designated as agricultural, landowners need to obtain an open-burn permit from their local fire department. There is no fee associated with the permit.
People also need to check the weather forecast to make sure there are no red-flag warnings and have water nearby, she said.

This has nothing to do with family history, but lots to do with walking. This is a view of Birling Gap and Seven Sisters on the East Sussex coast, between Seaford and Eastbourne.
I have no idea who published this card and it is not particularly old. It was posted from Eastbourne, Sussex on the 9th August 1934 and sent to a Miss Jeffery in Maidstone, Kent. The message is probably quite typical of thousands of postcards sent from the South Coast every summer:
Am having a glorious time. The weather has been good to-day & Sunday. A bit patchy otherwise getting quite brown. Have been to some shows, played tennis, been to Hampden Park & to-day went to Beachy Head. It was glorious up there. Took some snaps, hope they're alright.
As such it is not a particularly remarkable or outstanding postcard, but it finds a place in my collection because it reminds me of the handful of times that I have walked across the top of the cliffs.

This is the third in a series of articles about William Joseph Henry BATEMAN and his family from Australia. This is an ongoing research project and so far much of the research is based on index entries and is unverified, if you have more information or corrections then please get in touch.
On the 22nd April 1905 William Joseph Henry (WJH) BATEMAN (aged 23) married Annie Clark BULL (aged 24). The ceremony took place at the Parsonage, Yarra Street, Geelong, Victoria, Australia and was performed by William Williams, a Methodist Minister.
The digital copy of the marriage registration is not very clear and slightly tricky to read, but for someone used to English marriage certificates it potentially provides much more detail. Instead of just a father's name, it also includes the mother's maiden name. It also gives place of birth for the bride and groom and their present residence and their usual residence.
WJH is shown as a seaman, living on the HMS Katoomba, Annie's residence is not easy to make out except that it was in Geelong, neither is her place of birth, somewhere in Victoria but that is all I can work out.
WJH's parents are correctly shown as Henry BATEMAN and Dorothy KINGHORN, and Henry's profession is given as coachman, which agrees with other sources. Annie's parents are Thomas MCCONACHY (a restaurant keeper) and Elizabeth STEEL. This suggests that at the relatively young age of 24 years Annie was already a widow.
This is confirmed in the condition column, which also tells us that her previous husband died in 1900 and that she had one child surviving from that marriage.

I spent the day at The National Archives today, but didn't do a single piece of research! Instead I attended the Pub History Society Conference held at the archives.
This was the first time the Pub History Society have held a conference, and hopefully it will become an annual event. For me it seemed that The National Archives was an ideal place to hold it, not only were the conference facilities excellent, but we also had the benefit of the other facilities at the archives, such as the café, cyber-café, lockers and bookshop.
There were five excellent talks, on varied aspects of pub history, some of which (if not all) will hopefully appear as podcasts:
- The Lost Pubs of London (Jack Adams)
- The Pub and the People (Simon Fowler)
- Women, Darts and the Pub in the Interwar Period (Patrick Chaplin)
- Pub Signs and Names (David Roe)
- A Short History of Coaching Inns (David Thomas)
I wouldn't like to try and pick a favourite, they were all thought provoking and made me think about aspects of pub history aside from my usual family history angle.
However, I couldn't get away from family history entirely, especially during the talk on coaching inns. I couldn't help wondering what Thomas KINGHORN (my 4x great-grandfather) thought about the coaching inns that he stopped at whilst guarding the mail coaches.
All in all it was a truly memorable day, and what really made it extra special was a guided tour of The National Archives given by Simon Fowler (editor of Ancestors magazine), giving us a peek behind the scenes.

But you lost to Memphis last year in the playoffs, You were a first round exit. Just remember that. You're not winning a title.
I'm not going to try, I'm going to ban you (again) for trolling which is against the site rules.
Great statement game team deserves the rest.
David you seem like a nice guy. Call me crazy or whatever but I am not a troll at all. I'm the most honest guy you can ever find and I have no interest in making other people feel uncomfortable. But that what just flat out wrong to ban someone who has a divergence in opinion. I think that people should feel free to voice their opinions. That's just flat out bigotry.
Could it perhaps be this? Could it be that deep down most Clipper fans cannot stand the Warriors because they have beaten them down so many times? Maybe this one win helped a lot of Clippers fans get some sleep. Because if they would have lost 3 straight, the Warriors would be on their minds all night long just like every other loss to the Warriors when their fans gave up. And now one win and people think that anyone that thinks that the Warriors are better is a troll. Maybe that's what is. People that are so insecure about their team. If you were Miami and I said any of this you wouldn't even respond. But here everyone gets offended.
That's the only thing I don't like. Being banned for telling my honest opinion. Not everyone sees it the way Clippers Nation does and that's just how life works. If I were running a Warriors or Clippers forum and 1000 people insulted me, I would never ban them. I would try to talk it out. But I look at this as a cop out. Fans have hated the Warriors for years. And they try brush it off like they don't care about them. Truth is that the Clippers were desperate for a win against them for their own sanity. I've seen people go crazy on here for years.
It's not the bench taunting that GSW does, it's the fact that GSW has absolutely owned LAC and that's the reason why you guys can't stand me. I'm the only one on here who even makes sense. Not one thing I've written is false. I've only stated facts and reasonable opinions. But the whole entire league knows that the Clippers hate losing to the Warriors. It's not about Bogut kicking Blake out. It's not about the David Lee this or that or the bench taunting. LAC fans hate to lose to us and I get that. But don't just brush off this win like it was nothing to you and then start celebrating. I'm just trying to talk realistically. My intention was never to hurt anyone, but to just tell it how it is. It was a rare win, literally.
I should have never ever been banned on here, that's just not right. Just because I know deep down that the LAC fans hate losing to the Warriors like they usually do doesn't mean I should be banned. You don't know me. But deep down, everyone knows I'm not a troll or a mad, loserish fan. In fact, it's other people that tried to attack me on here. You want to ban me just for trying to tell my opinion? That's just not right. Forums should go both ways.
You gotta love this guy!!!, he has no quit in him. Warriors fan's don't take losing too good now do they. Hey man if I were you I'd be saying the same thing, In a few years you can always say: Hey at one point we dominated the Clippers, we won one more game then them over the course of a 3 year span...... LMAO
Hey if you want to talk basketball without trolling the Clippers or its fanbase- you are more than welcome. We've actually had quite a few other fans of other teams engage in discussions without any problem because they don't troll. But you just can't seem to help yourself with the degrading comments. This is a Clippers forum- members are going to denigrate other teams, including the Warriors, so if you can't accept that, then you shouldn't be on here. If you can accept that and want to talk basketball, be respectful, you'll be fine.
Except it's not one more game. You already knew that. In fact one more win, and it would have been 3 out of 4 in 2 years. Am I not right? You are reasonable though, you know where I'm coming from.
lmao at Doc on Grangers shooting "when he makes it all net when he misses he can kill somone".
NO your wrong, Besides last year, the Series has gone 2-2 for a few years. But I don't get how last year equates to this year, totally different scheme, different players, different coaching staff's. Teams change within Month's, and the team you played last game isn't the same team you played yesterday, so you can sing Warriors REGULAR season Dominance all you want but it just won't stand the test of time. In all honesty I myself I already moved on from the win, It happened, it was a Good win, Now it's on to the next team. It's the regular season and all the Warriors were was another team on the Schedule. But like I said if you want to say the Warriors have dominated the Clippers then be my guest, but I don't know how that helps you going forward.
Granger was the difference. He looks like he hasn't lost a step since Indiana. He was the ''Paul George'' before their was a Paul George. Health hindered him from staying on the court.
Statement game, and we played Awesome!
I was talking about just this year and last year. Warriors have won 5 out of 8 games, but I thought they had a chance tonight to make it 3 out of 4 for 2 years in a row. I wasn't counting the year before that because the Warriors weren't relevant in my mind in the Ellis era.
It's not just about the Warriors winning, but I have come on here the last couple of years and just read the forum. Fans have nothing but hate for the Warriors. So many countless times fans have said, ''they have our number.'' And then one day later they change their minds. And then we beat them again and they start feeling sorry for themselves. Then they win and act like none of that ever happened and feel like they have bragging rights.
Let me tell you something about GSW organization. They have class. The best of guys are on that team and I'm talking about sportsmanship and good people in general. Their really are no punks on that team. It's only LAC fans who hate them. I've seen it. I don't get why people on this forum will deny all of that and just act like it never happened. Is every member new or something? I'm not imagining this.
listen, this is a physical rivalry. last year the clippers got beat 3-1 in the series. this year we evened it 2-2, and had Blake not got ejected in game 2. the league later said that Blake shouldn't have been ejected. so essentially we feel robbed. The warriors play a dirty style against our guys and that is where the animosity comes from. we have gotten beat by Miami and Indiana yet we don't harbor ill will towards them because they play fairly
That was fun to be at. I was surrounded by GS fans,felt like the good old days when I was sitting in the section where I was always outnumbered by the opposition. Which tells me one thing,Clipper fan sold out to make some bucks at this game 'cause there were a lot of "Wubs" fans there. Which made walking out of there with a win so so so much sweeter.
PS: went to autograph alley and Blake has sort of turned into a bigshot and doesn't have time for the fans anymore. He was warming up and as soon as he saw us coming down to line up,he ran off the court like his arse was on fire. The ushers told me he doesn't participate much anymore. Fine,I already have him on a ball, a photo and a jersey,but sad for the fans that were all wasting their times wearing their 32 gear. Also, I have a hat that has Ralph Lawler signed on one side and I got Mike Smith to sign the other. Then Ralph walked by and I showed him, he told me I need scissors to cut the Mike Smith part off.
Stop crying, troll, you're starting to sound like Mark Jackass.
Scoreboard, 1-3 against the Clippers. No, that screwjob on Christmas does not count as a "win" in my book. What's funny is that after all that money your team spent on overrated Iguodala, you're only in 6th place. Warriors will be back to sucking soon and you'll return to being just another Bay Area Laker "fan."
But you have no facts to back that up. GSW went 2-2 this year against the Clippers. Did you know the Clippers were struggling even when Griffin was still in the game? How are you not trolling? I'm only stating facts. The fact that you said were ''only'' in 6th place means we should be better and I agree. But you have no proof that the Warriors will go back to sucking. And even if they did, why would I become a Bay Area Lakers fan?
Cheapshotting Blake and getting him wrongfully ejected is classy?
Your bigs holding and grabbing all game and getting away with it is classy?
The constant preening and showboating is classy?
Mark Jackass cheating by using Iguodala as a mole against the Nuggets last year is classy?
Mark Jackass - a so-called "man of God" - cheating on his wife with a hooker is classy? And that's not even getting into how much of a cancer Jackass was as a player, just ask any Jazz fan.
The Warriors are so far from classy, it's not even funny. If you want to see true class, just look at how Blake continues to be the bigger person when your studio gangsta players keep trying to cheapshot and trash-talk him.
By the way, we're not the only fanbase that dislikes the Warriors and their fans. I know for a fact that Jazz and Nuggets fans can't stand your bitchmade team and bandwagon "fanbase" (established in the playoffs last year) either.
I agree that Blake shouldn't have been ejected, but we'll never know. You can't just automatically say you would have won, unless you were dominating. I mean that is a big cry baby excuse. I'm sorry but I can't give that to you. The Clippers have to earn it. You can't just cry about him not playing for a quarter. If he would have got hurt, would you blame us and still make that excuse? Where does making excuses ever get you? I'm not trying to degrade you, but I'm really disappointed in you guys trying to give yourselves credit over the whole series just because Blake didn't play for a quarter. That allows you to just write everything off. You're better than that. If Curry got kicked out, I would only use it as an excuse if it kept happening, not if it just happened for one quarter.
I really don't think the Warriors play that dirty or dirty at all. Maybe I just didn't notice it, but I think LAC exaggerates mightily. I mean what about all the flopping you guys do? How come every single fan in the NBA talks about that, but you guys don't notice how bad you flop? You see what I mean? It goes both ways and I'm just trying to be fair. I don't think you guys see it from a 3rd persons view. I do though. If Blake didn't flop so much, then I might sympathize for you. But I can't tell if he's just flopping or really getting fouled because he plays cry wolf too much.
Blake doesn't flop. Curry does, though.
one key thing you are forgetting....we were winning in the game. once blake gets ejected that changed everything, so how is that not a key moment and factor in that win? also, for a guy complaining about a ban look how negative your posts are. calling us floppers. theres nothing unbiased about you and your opinion is trolling. David was far too kind allowing you on this site
So earlier you were talking about not trolling yet all your doing here is trolling. It's one thing to talk about your team and how you think they are better but to keep turning it around and talking **** about the fans on their own message board is another thing..
The season series is 2-2.. and yet 1 of those wins your squad resorted to playground tactic to manage a win. and even than it was by 1 possession, and yet you want to talk about how superior your team is compared to ours. Check the standings see who's been better the past 2 seasons.. In fact look at the last game you guys beat us in.. We came off a back to back without Chris Paul. Without the added depth of Danny Granger and Glen Davis, so just like you with your ellis days, i call these 2 wins against us irrelevant.
How do you know Blake didn't put that on himself? He flops so much, u can't tell if their cheap shotting him or if he's faking it. Blake cheap shotted Bogut tonight, I'm hardly even complaining. Warriors are classy. Things can get chippy on both sides. But the Warriors do know not to cross the line. Remember when Bogut shoved DeAndre into Blake's hands? Yes Bogut is strong, but DeAndre initiated that. Just because Bogut retaliated doesn't mean that it's okay for DJ to start it. The only difference was DJ's shove wasn't very hard. Bogut is just strong. Now you know that's true, he is strong.
How am I trolling? Do you know what a troll is? I just have a different take. You know, you can make excuses all you want. But at the end of the day, what counts is what actually happens, not what could have happened. I mean do good teams really make excuses? You're just going to write off every loss? That's BS to me. I'm not trying to offend you or troll you, but good teams don't get to make all the excuses in the world. If it was something like the refs were in on it, then maybe. But you can't just make lame excuses. Those losses were losses, as were last years.
How has this troll not been IP banned?
No as far as I remember it was an even game. Even if you were winning by a basket, you weren't in control and basketball is a 4 quarter game. The bottom line is that's over with and you lost. But that's only one game, what about all the other times? You write off every single loss. I don't get to do that and I won't make an excuse even though I could tonight. But I don't do that. Yea I'm calling you floppers because I'm being unbiased. Everyone knows it and I'm not saying that it's wrong to flop. I was just giving my response to someone. Don't you think you're calling me a troll so you can ban me? I don't see how I'm trolling.
I said I'm not a troll. What EXACTLY did I say that qualifies as trolling. Just because I'm not agreeing with everything you guys think does not mean that I'm a troll. I'll say it again. I'm not a troll. I want to talk about NBA.
I see SO much class in O'Neal just trolling and waiting for Griffin to get out of his locker, to paraphrase Griffin, "Keep that s___t on the court man" seems like Warriors have a little bit of a problem playing a straightup game, cause they know they will LOSE!
Just because you say you're not trolling doesn't make it so.
So let me get this straight, its ok for you to disregard certain points in time for your team but not for us to do the same? I'm only using your logic. and in fact I'm making my case in point on why we are the better team. It took a Blake Griffin ejection to beat us on christmas day. The 2nd win we didn't have Chris Paul we were coming off a back to back and didn't have a fully healthy JJ Redick. Not making excuses to why we lost but telling why we are the better team.. Even Last night we didn't have JJ and Jamal and yet we still pulled off the win. And once again check the season standings we sit 5 games above you guys for a reason.
Obviously you seem to think your not trolling but those last 2 i bolded show otherwise. Your not taking your arguments on a team to team basis. Your sitting there and taking shots about us as fans on our own message board. I don't mind a fan from another team coming here for a legit discussion with us, but with your short history you've already taken multiple jabs at us as fans.. You have yet to show otherwise
Vegas championship odds: Clippers 12-1, Warriors 22-1.
Hollinger Playoff odds: Clippers championship 22.2%, Warriors championship 7.3%.
NBA Western conference standings: Clippers 46-20, Warriors 41-25.
So professional oddsmakers, complex computer algorithms and outright facts say the Clippers are better, but this troll isn't buying it. Okay then.
But we have beaten you 5 out of 8 times in the last 2 years and we have advanced further in the playoffs. You guys did not. So that's why I think we're a better playoff team because we've achieved more so far. We have the better starting line up and a pretty good bench, but in the playoffs the bench's minutes goes down. The Warriors actually statistically have the best starting unit in the NBA, they outscore their opponents by a large margin, and that's counting every 100 shots, not just points total. You have no proof that you would have won on December 25th if Griffin wouldn't have been ejected. The game was very even the whole way and I still would say we win that game. But who cares? It's over and we'll never know, we did win though.
I'm not here to take jabs, I'm here to state my honest opinion and sometimes I have a rebuttal. Maybe you think I'm trying to take jabs because I don't agree with you. Did I say Blake sucks? Did I say anything extremely bad?
Well anything can happen, I mean you can't base everything off of odds. On paper, the Warriors do have a lot more talent. Those are Vegas odds and you have not gave me any outright facts.
On hardwood, not so much.
Maybe not Miami Heat, but I think still better than LAC.
Western conference standings are factual. Those games have been played and the Clippers have won more. Fact.
You're allowed to think whatever you like... and I'm allowed to think you're a moron. God bless America.
He's a delusional Flaker fan masquerading as a Oakland fan, you can't ask him to look at numbers and odds. He was on the other thread defending Kobe's trolling tweet and asking us to sympathize with Kobe.
I could have sworn that he said he's only looking at the last two years, and says they've owned us and that is more than a one game lead; but in the last two years the series would be at 5 out of 8 making it only a one game difference. Next year this kid is going to be joining as a supposed long time Clipper fan going on Warrior forums talking trash.
Not even on paper - Dudley is our twelfth man. Our talent on paper with our acquisitions is superior.
That's fine, but you don't really know me.
Ah I think I see the problem here.
Dudley does not really factor into it. I'm talking about the players who play regular minutes.
That's true, but "on paper" you're a complete dumb f*ck.
But because you're a Clippers fan, I'm guess you're not gonna be banned for going that route and calling me that. You see guys? I don't get offended like the people on here.
In a Flaker fans eyes saying your team has more talent is much more factual than standings, record or anything odds makers or analysts can ever tell you.
Nor do I want to.
Well, why don't we wait to see what happens and if you actually do get further. If so, I'll give you credit. Why don't we leave it at that? I'm willing to wait. I'm a fair person. But if LAC doesn't win, you can't just make excuses and write off every game because of this or that. Got it? I'm sure last year the odd makers had the Clippers ahead too but they didn't get anywhere. The only thing that matters is results not what some odd makers thought.
exactly, I don't see how a 6th place standing means you're better than 3rd place. Then this guy is trying to act all innocent like "im just being honest...you guys are floppers, and I should be able to insult you, yet not get banned"

Typically i shoot the cheap Xpert HV 3" #4. But i noticed last year i was wounding alot of ducks and not getting clean kills.(Pintails and mallards mostly). I have a Remington 870 super mag and i was wondering if i could up the shot size and switch to 3 1/2" and get better results. I'm not a great shot so i dont want to spend alot on shells. i was looking at trying to get Xpert HV 3 1/2" #3.
P.S. i know i need to pattern my gun to really understand whats going on im just posting this to see what kind of loads other people prefer and to find out if i would be wasting my time and money on 3 1/2" shells.

First thing is pattern your gun with a verity of ammo and chokes to see which gives you the best results. As far as shot size goes I have shot 2 3/4 #2 for big ducks and #4 shot for teal I may use a 3" shell for third shot only on ducks. I only use 3" and 3 1/2 shells with BB or BBB shot for geese and this depends on what the birds are doing and how they are coming into the decoys. Chokes are IC and Mod for all hunting of waterfowl.

I started shooting 3 inch BB and BBB at ducks this season (all I have around the house) and have noticed an improvement in the number of clean kills, especially when the shots are at the outer edge of my range. Of course it could always be my shooting ability. :D
The guys I hunt with all shoot 3.5 inch BBB Black Clouds out of their Benelli's and swear by it. Give it a shot and see how it works.

Last year I was using the 3" Xpert 2's with an improved choke and I was getting a lot of wounded ducks. So far this year I've used 3" Kent Fasteel 2's with a modified choke and I've been folding every single one. I patterned the Xpert's to the Kent's and there was a huge difference in the pattern with both the chokes. I'd recommend using something a little better than Xpert's because everyone I know that have used them have had somewhat the same pattern. My brother uses 3 1/2" Kent's and he loves it. He was using 3" Hevi Shot but he switched to 3 1/2" Kent's because they're cheaper and he was getting pretty much the same pattern.
Definitely go pattern your shotgun.

I shoot Black Cloud 3" #3's with my Vinci and love it. I only had 1 wounded the whole last season because I was using a LM Carlson choke and shot at a bird around 55-60 yrds. All other kills have not had to chase nor see then move a feather. I have noticed certain shells work better with certain shotguns along with certain choke tubes.

Try modified choke with #2's as this is the most common combination as it is good for an all around configuration. I shoot teal up through canada geese and have no problem killing either one. If you need 3 1/2" shells to kill ducks, you're either skybusting or need to spend more time practicing. Good luck.

Honestly, all the people I know that use experts and do well, shoot close range, in your face type shots. I'm talking 20 yards or less. I shot them for a few seasons, but I noticed when I hunted more open areas were shots were longer, they didn't seem to have the gusto to get it done past 25 yards or so. After switching to a premium steel load, not only did I start stoning every bird I hit, my actual hit rate improved dramatically. Kent, Hevi-metal, Black cloud, Federal and Winchester premium, and Remington all seem to offer a pretty solid product. It really has a lot to do with what your gun likes and the situations you hunt in.
My marsh recipe is 870 w/ 28" barrel, mod choke, and 3" Black Cloud #3s
My timber recipe is the same but I back down to an IC choke
This of course doesn't mean that it's the right recipe for anyone else, but it's what works well for me. The true test is on the pattern board. It's like cooking gumbo. You can throw together anything and feed people but when you get your recipe right, there's alot more meat in the pot and you get praise and new friends real fast.
Good luck and happy hunting,

Differnt strokes for differnt folks, I crippled alot of birds last year using kent and winchester hi V, I swiched to BC and was amazed, folded almost every bird. aolt less cripples and a lot less shooting, I spent more $ per box but shoot half as much, so i really didnt spend much more then normally. With all that said I picked up a case of blind-side, the early season I shot 23 ducks, burned up one box of shells (everything is the same except the ammo) and had 4 cripples.
Good luck and let us know how you made out.:)

mat -- I seriously doubt going to 3 1/2" shells will help your duck killin'. Yes, you should pattern your gun/choke/load to optimize your effectiveness but if you can't kill'em with 3" shells it's not the shells! It simply doesn't take a 3" or even a 3 1/2" load to effectively harvest ducks as long as you are using the right load, choke and pellet size for the distance and type of duck you are shooting.
If you are shooting small or decoying ducks the #4 steel pellet is fine but the #3 steel pellet is the pellet for all-around duck shooting, and if you are shooting only mallards that occasionally don't decoy close then the #2 steel pellet may be your best bet.
How do some of the more economical 12ga 3" steel duck loads perform? Well, here are some pattern numbers from two of the more common low-priced 3" steel loads available (Xpert and Sportsman) when shot through my 870 (not supermag) so you can get an idea of what you might be getting from yours.
Patterns shot with a 12ga 3" Remington 870 Special Purpose w/ 28" barrel and factory flush Rem-chokes (pattern average of five, 30" post-shot scribed circle, yardage taped muzzle to target, in-shell pellet count average of five, and true choke constriction from bore gauge).
IC (.009" const.) / pattern 113 (59%)
Mod (.016" const.) / pattern 131 (68%)
Mod (.018" const.) / pattern 146 (76%)
Full (.037" const.) / pattern 150 (78%)
IC (.009" const.) / pattern 109 (56%)
Mod (.016" const.) / pattern 124 (64%)
Mod (.018" const.) / pattern 131 (67%)
Full (.037" const.) / pattern 154 (79%)
First things first, I patterned two different factory flush modified Rem-chokes, one has .016" constriction and the other has .018" constriction as measured with a bore gauge.
As you can see from the pattern numbers, either of the two loads would be more than adequate on mallards out to 40 yards even with the most open choke (IC) tested. In other words, if you do your part and put the pattern on the front end of the duck, then the duck is dead!!!
Good luck.

A family busted during a meth raid in Utah told police they had to sell the drug to feed eight children.
Officers in Provo found eight children under age 14 living in the home, along with meth, drug paraphernalia, scales and drug packaging supplies, Salt Lake City TV station KSL reported.
"He was looking at it as a form of income to support the family," Lt. Phil Murphy of the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force said of the grandfather, Darwin Goode.
Goode's wife and a daughter were also arrested, as well as another daughter who lives in the home, a next-door neighbor and two other men.
All seven face charges of meth possession and child endangerment.
"There are other options out there," Murphy told KSL. "This one is obviously not going to be productive for a family; an environment with children in the home has too many risks, too many dangers. It is sad someone feels like they have to earn a living by selling methamphetamine and putting children or grandchildren at risk."
The children are now in protective custody.

Holy Crap! When did that Matt Barnes - Rafer Alston & Shaq fight happen! I knew Barnes was fiery , but dang. I wish Shaq still played. He just came in and shoved everybody lol -- off topic
I'd rather Dudley be used at the stretch four than Turkoglu if we are going to use one. He's smaller, but he's the only guy of the Hollins/Turkoglu/Davis/Dudley group without high turnover and foul rates, and while he's a little slow SF, he's mobile at PF and would defend the pick and roll a lot better than Turkoglu or Davis. Turkoglu is particular seems terrible defending pick and rolls. I'm kind of surprised Davis and Turkoglu have locked down those spots, I thought we would try to mix and match with Davis, Turkoglu, Dudley and Hollins depending on the matchups or game to game needs, but instead we've been static with a pair that isn't very good.
My problem with Davis and Hollins together is their combined turnovers and fouls, 12 fouls and 4 turnovers per 36 between the two is pretty ugly, especially when consider how little they shoot.
CP3 had probably the worst game of his life last night and we still gave ourselves a shot at winning the game toward the end. SH*T HAPPENS!!!
man Hubie Brown is annoying haha
Well, this loss has been on the cards for the last week or so with the way we've been playing.
On the positive side, after the Memphis loss I hoped for a 12-3 or 13-2 run before we headed into Dallas and the Clips pulled it off, so I'll cut them some slack for the loss. But on the negative side, we're going to have to see a complete shift in attitude from top to bottom (including Doc) in order to come home with a positive record from this trip. I can't see why he didn't try Hollins on Ajinca or even give the rookie a shot at Miller last night. Turkoglu has been awful lately. He shouldn't be getting minutes.
It sucks that we have to go into Dallas on the back-end while they're streaking, but that's the NBA. It's a huge test for the lads. If we can win tonight, we can put last night to bed. And Saturday's game is obviously huge too... but then it was always going to be.
CP3 going 0-12 is quite the anomaly. There's a good reason they keep averages and I expect him to bounce back soon. I just don't like when he gets timid about shooting his elbow-jumper when a few don't fall. It f*cks up the whole offense and we end up taking a worse shot late in the clock.
Anyway, this is what sports are all about... building strength and character through adversity.
If the threshold is 4, then Blake has similarly had an equal amount of poor games, two I remember would be losing to Cleveland and getting blown out by Phoenix, and he sucked one game against Memphis.
Paul has had a few more than that in terms of subpar games. There's a limitation to the ability or a 5'11 - 6'0 guy to force himself to the basket or to the FT line that isn't as present with a guy like Blake. Even in a poor game, Blake can still get some high percentage looks from lobs, fast breaks and dump offs, Paul really doesn't get those kind of looks to help him out if he's off. It's the curse of being a small guy.
Ouch. Tough loss. 2 things, Blake should have completed the 3 point play and that tech on Barnes proved to be huge. Had we been down 1 point, they probably could have drawn up a better shot for the win. I also think that if Chris Paul doesn't double clutch the pass and hits Jamal in rhythm, he would have hit that shot. Gotta win tonight.
That's a very good point. If Blake has an off night he is still a physical freak of nature. If Chris has an off night he is just a normal sized guy in a land of giants.
he still the floor general though. he could not make a shot but he was still making plays for our guys.

Game 91: Yankees vs. Blue Jays
TORONTO — Joe Girardi didn't expect his bullpen to log so many innings so quickly into the second half. But two games removed from the All-Star break, the Yankees' skipper already finds himself needing a long, bullpen-saving start from ace CC Sabathia. The Yankees' relief corps logged 7 1/3 innings on Thursday, then three more on Friday. In that span, five different relievers were used, with Sergio Mitre going twice. Because of that, Mitre won't be available today, and there's a good chance neither will Hector Noesi, who's two days removed from pitching 3 1/3 frames.
"It happens during the course of the season and you just have to prepare for it," Girardi said. "You need some distance out of your ace today, and that's the bottom line. And I think we're covered. But if something were to happen to CC in the first inning, then it'd be a little tough today."
Lucky for Joe, Sabathia is one of the best second-half pitchers in baseball.
Or perhaps the best.
In terms of second-half performance from 2006-10, Sabathia leads all Major League starters who qualify in ERA (2.64), wins (41) and strikeouts (490). For his career, the burly left-hander has a 3.67 first-half ERA and a 3.31 second-half ERA. Now, he'll be looking to get the Yankees back on track after they dropped back-to-back games, and look to snap the Blue Jays' five-game winning streak.
A lot of the talk pregame, once again, centered on signs. Russell Martin claimed the Blue Jays were picking up his signs on Thursday. Then last night, Girardi opted to go with multiple signs even with nobody on base, which led to a lot of mound trips and some confusion that may have taken Freddy Garcia out of rhythm (though nobody really used that as an excuse). Pregame today, Girardi vaguely addressed the issue of teams taking other measures besides their own baserunners to pick up signs, saying: "Sometimes we have inclinations that things might be happening in certain ballparks. We're aware of it, and we try to protect our signs." Blue Jays skipper John Farrell then denied that any of that is going on at Rogers Centre.
More on that soon.
For now, here are the lineups, with Jose Bautista still out for the Blue Jays and day-to-day with a sore ankle. It's looking like he won't play on Sunday, either. Curtis Granderson has the day off from the turf, and Martin gets a blow behind the plate with the quick turnaround …
Derek Jeter, SS
Granderson, DH
Mark Teixeira, 1B
Robinson Cano, 2B
Nick Swisher, RF
Andruw Jones, LF
Brett Gardner, CF
Eduardo Nunez, 3B
Francisco Cervelli, C
Pitching: LH Sabathia (13-4, 2.72 ERA)
Rajai Davis, CF
Eric Thames, RF
Yunel Escobar, SS
Adam Lind, 1B
Edwin Encarnacion, DH
Aaron Hill, 2B

It's not 3 up 3 down for Mo anymore in the 9th. He's lost something on his velocity and dominance. he now has to depend on location. He is starting to keep you on the edge of your chair wondering if he get the side out and prevent any runs. They're hitting him this year like he hasn't been hit in the past. This could be Mo;s last year as the closer. I think that's why they brought in Soriano as set up to replace Mo eventually, but he has been injured all year and hasn't made a contribution at all. Whether he'll be ready for next year who knows? Anyway, the usually reliable CC gives us one win in the series. What will happen in the finale whoknows?
Tex pops out. he's terrible at the plate in the last few weeks. There's something wrong with his mechanics. He has the uppercut swing all the time which is great if he gets ahold of it but if not he swings over the ball. Long needs to watch tapes and break it down and figure it out and soon. With ARod out this guy needs to earn his money.
certainly should be hitting higher than he currently is, less time taking grounders and more time in the cage might be what the doctor ordered.
Tex has been swinging a bit wild of late, but he makes up in defense some of the balls he's missing at the plate and as we know you can go from freezing cold to hot in 2-3 series. Nunez is making a few errors of late, i'll give you that, but here are your options – Eduardo Nunez or Ramiro Pena, i'm sure Robert will know a lot more about the guys in the minors, but it's doubtfull any of them will be ready to play in the bigs right now or they'd be there. The problem with the trade idea is simple, we have highly rated prospects which it would cost us to get the players we need right now – but it's not really so simple. When the places we're short of (3B, relievers) are because guys are injured but are A-grade talent, so any trades are likely to be short term with expensive consequence.
I'd like to see Golson getting in there for atleast a game or two, from what i saw last year he has potential and well, we all saw the cannon he displayed at the Trop. (as i type that hes come in on D for the 8th) Should also be pretty interesting come September to see what the callups bring up to show for next season.
and personally, i'm pretty happy we can't face the Phillies until the World Series, that rotation puts the fear of god into me the way precious few things can!
Yeh he got a hit but we're not paying him millions to get a hit once in a while. His batting average has gone down to the low 200s. He's been stuck at 25 home runs for ever. It's not happening often enough and certainly not in critical situations with men on base. We need to do something with the trade deadline coming up. if we have to play the Phillies any time in the playoffs we don't have a starting rotation who can pitch with them, other than CC.
Anyone tell me what's wrong with Tex. he's swinging wildly at the plate like he can't pick up the ball. He hasn't hit for power for 2 weeks at least. Is he feeling the rejection of not being voted to the All Star game? He is certainly not a hitter any pitchers are fearing at this point. They don't need to pitch around him and then of course ARod is not hitting behind him. Gardner has been on 3rd base now 3 times in this game and noone can bring him in. What a waste of runs Gardner is going all he can but the Yankees hitting behind him can't get him home.
Robbie on 2nd and what does Jones do? He strikes out on a pitch that was a ball. He never seems to want to walk. He's got to swing no matter what kind of pitch.
Yeh, all with left handed pitching. Robert, what is it with you and Jones? You feel you need to defend him all the time. Last time we left Gardner on third base with one out. Are we going to do the same? Not getting runs in is what is killing us. Cervelli strikes out swinging at some really questionable pitches. If it continues CC is going to have to keep the Blue Jays runs where they are now because the Yankees are not going to get very many more if they keep hitting like they're doing with men on base.
Robert: I don't think Golson's presence affects Jones that much. Jones is only good with left handed pitching. he can't hit righties at this stage of his career, so when they're up against right handed pitching they could bring Golson in if they wanted to DH one of the other outfielders.
The Yankees need to get runners on base home. jeter didn't get it done with runners on 2nd and 3rd. He struck out. And Swisher strikes out with runners on base. This has been a Yankee problem all year.
Hey everyone. Take solace in the fact that Meat Tray won't be brought in from the bull pen today because he pitched the last two games. it shouldn't be because he pitched two games but because of how he pitched two relief appearances. I don't think anyone would care if Mitre ever got into a game again for the Yankees. Come on CC. We've got to get a win today and the Yanksneed to give him some run support.

It seems incredible that until now there hasn't been a set of stamps dedicated to genealogy, but Isle of Man Stamps & Coins have put that right with the issue of a set of eight genealogy themed stamps on the 18th February 2011.
The eight stamps are a colourful set of stamps featuring a mixture of historic and modern images based on key aspects of genealogy featuring example from the Isle of Man, the border of the stamps bear the most common surnames occurring in the Isle of Man 1891 census.
The eight themes on the stamps are:
- Baptisms
- School Days
- Working Life
- Weddings
- Family Album
- Emigration
- Memorials
- Family Tree
The stamps were created in association with the Isle of Man Family History Society and Manx National Heritage and also celebrate the centenary of the Society of Genealogists.
The good news for UK genealogists (or those visiting) is that IOM Stamps & Coins will be at the Manx National Heritage stand at Who Do You Think You Are? Live next weekend (stand 903). They should have sets of the stamps for sale at the stand and although I am not really a stamp collector I think I might make an exception for these and pick up set.
As well as learning about Isle of Man research you can also enter a free draw at the stand to win a VIP research trip to the Isle of Man (it is a shame I don't have any relatives on the Isle of Man to research).
If you can't make it to Who Do You Think You Are? Live you can also order the stamps online through the Isle of Man Post Office Website.

Forbes came out today with their new list of NBA team valuations...three teams are worth at least $1 billion (Knicks, Lakers, Bulls in order) thanks to various instances. The Knicks with the Madison Square Garden renovations, the Lakers with their huge TV rights deal, and the Bulls extended their arena naming rights agreement with United Airlines.
The Clippers are ranked 13th in value, at $575 million; last year, the team was worth $430 million.
All teams increased in value last year by 25%...wow. Ah, the rich keep getting richer thing, lol. Nice return from that 12 mil investment The Donald made way back when.
Knicks #1. The Knicks are never going to get better since their profit margin increases even when suck.

It looks like he's been eating at vegetarian and vegan places recently. If he's serious about eating healthier and drops a ton of weight, he might end up being a big upgrade to our roster.
I doubt we can get anything for Jared right now, so let's hope he comes back better.
I still haven't haven't given up hope on him. I think his tweets reek of attention but if it results in a better player than he was last season, I'm in. Realizing our cap situation, I think he stays.
Go Vegan Jared!
And people said he was in shape last year smh
Maybe the shape they were referring to was a pumpkin.
Hopefully he gets into shape just so we can fool a stupid team into thinking this bum is worth anything in a trade.
I don't buy it though since he got all defensive about his obvious out-of-shapeness last year, whining that the fans "expected him to look like Blake." That reeks of not taking your career seriously enough - why would that suddenly change now?
I don't think weight loss alone will help him with his athleticism. His best bet is to bulk up and play more PF.
Maybe not, but atleast it shows he's trying to improve his game. We didn't get any sense of that last off season.
He was in basketball shape... ie: the shape of a basketball.
This is a problem. How many times have we heard a Clipper player say he was going to get in shape? I don't buy it. I hope he does get in shape..just long enough for another team to show interest so we can trade him
Hopefully it's not jabber. Phoenix Jared Dudley was a pretty good role player. Hopefully he's in good shape and gives us what we expected last summer.
No matter the weight, he's not good enough to start for a championship team. Neither is Barnes although I'd be sad to see him go.
Priority #1 for the summer has got to be finding a quality SF. 1A is finding a 3rd big.
I think Dudley will be motivated to work hard this summer on his game. I believe that once he lost his starting role, and even his bench role when Granger came on board, it gave him that motivation to work harder. We'll see what happens, I hope I'm right, lol.
To little to late
But he was in shape it was "his shape" I think that's how some people quoted it. He clearly has work ethic issues if he can't even get his body in shape. These guys have access to great trainers, dietitians, food, etc no excuse for them to be out of shape
Jared Dudley was on first take picking the team to win the Championship. he was wearing a suit and gotta say, he looks really fit. He's also lost his chubby face. Good for him.
To me he strikes me as a guy who has never had good eating habits, but most of his career until now made up for it be working really hard, but between his knee injury and just getting older, he just couldn't work hard enough to keep up with his eating habits anymore. I think Baron Davis had similar issues. You just can't get away with the same things you doing when you were 22, when you are pushing 30 and have lingering injuries. If I was him (or most any well paid NBA player), I'd hire a personal chef, to help manage his meals and nutrition, while keeping it tasting good.
Post all-star break his bigger problem rather than his fitness though was his shooting and general confidence, his rebounding and other numbers bounced back after his knee got better, but he seemed to no confidence in his shooting, at times seemed indecisive on defense or when had chances to make a move with the ball. Perhaps getting in better shape would help with confidence as well.
If even if does lose weight he still has a wide body even when he's fit, so he still might do well to add some muscle to play up front more, Paul Pierce has a similar build and the Nets were a lot better after they moved him to PF.
Wow, he looked really slender. I'm impressed. When Duds was on PHX he was a really good player and we could use a player like that.
Honestly if he can get back to 2012 Dudley he would be a better fit than Ariza.
Keep it up Duddy.
He's still better than Gomes, remember him?
Are there pictures? I want to see prove that he's working on his body & game. We don't need anymore baron davis bums.
People probably remember fat John Wall when he was coming back from injury:
...or fat Gasol's during the off-season. Being healthy will hopefully be positive to Dudley in terms of staying in shape.
Maybe it is the suit though because this was him in June picking the wrong team to win:
I don't know, Ariza has the length and defense and playing off Wall, etc has shot 40%+ 3PT on higher volume than Dudley. Dudley at his best could never defend like Ariza, and natural guifts are natural gifts, which is why Dudley at his best got $4.3M and Ariza is getting like $8M.

They're two of the most successful and recognized names in Thoroughbred partnerships.
Dogwood Stable and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners will merge their operations on July 1, 2013. The announcement was made Thursday by W. Cothran Campbell, Dogwood Stable president and Aron Wellman, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners president.
The horses that are purchased at public auction will race under the name of Eclipse/Dogwood, and will run with alternating colors, said Jack Sadler, Dogwood Stable vice president.
Dogwood Stable will continue to have an active presence in the city they relocated to in June 1986, said Sadler, who has been with the operation for the past 37 years. Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners has offices in Del Mar, Calif. and Springboro, Ohio.
The two operations have been separate companies for the past year going down parallel paths, said Sadler, who will assume the same responsibilities as vice president when the merge occurs.
"The beauty of it is that Mr. Campbell will continue to manage all of the existing partnerships until their end. I will continue to serve Dogwood Stable clients the way that I have up to this time," Sadler said.
Dogwood Stable has been a presence in the Thoroughbred industry for more than four decades, and will continue to maintain that prominent profile.
"The loose connection we have had with Aaron Wellman and Eclipse is one that has worn well," said Campbell. "What was described earlier as 'going steady' is now going to be a marriage," said Campbell, in a press release. "As I cracked after winning the Belmont Stakes with Palace Malice, 'This great win is not likely to accelerate my retirement, and it won't. I will enjoy continuing to manage Dogwood's existing partnerships, but our client roster will now be offered participation in new horses formed and managed by Aron Wellman and Eclipse/Dogwood."
Bill Victor, the financial officer for Dogwood Stable for the past 22 years, will take on that same role for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, said Sadler. Victor and Sadler will be based out of the Dogwood Stable offices in Aiken.
A number of the horses purchased by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners will be sent to Aiken to be trained by Legacy Stable's Brad Stauffer and Ron Stevens at the Aiken Training Track.
"I will look in on all aspects of the Eclipse/ Dogwood operation – when asked to," said Campbell. "But, the effectiveness of Aron Wellman and Eclipse has been established dramatically. Since he and co-founder Lee Midkiff launched their endeavor in the fall of 2011, they have won 13 stakes races (the Grade 1 Vanity with Byrama on June l5) with eight different horses, and right now the outfit is ranked among America's top five in Graded Stakes wins."

Happiness Weekly's best tips for helping others
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you. John Bunyan
The efficiencies of the internet are moving us towards a more insular world and it is becoming more difficult to be mindful of helping others. According to the Dalai Lama that is our sole purpose in being here on earth – to share our compassion and help others.
The Pay It Forward movement has been particularly active on Facebook this year. You may have noticed several posts that read:
"To start this year off in a caring way I'm participating in this Pay-It-Forward initiative:
I don't usually buy into these things, but due to a recent act of generosity I have decided to get involved, this is for real.
The first five people who comment on this status with "I'm in", will receive a surprise from me at some point in this calendar year – anything from a book, a ticket, a visit, something home grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise!
There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy.
These five people must make the same offer in their Facebook status and distribute their own joy. Simply copy this text onto your profile (don't share) so we can form a web of connection and kindness.
Let's do more nice and loving things for each other in 2014, without any reason other than to make each other smile and to show that we think of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, more friendly and love-filled year."
So while our modern world seems to be encouraging selfishness, greed and isolation – Happiness Weekly looks at some ways that you can help others this week without having an agenda of your own. Truly helping others means there's nothing in it for you – in fact, the person you may help may never be able to repay you and that's the ultimate aspiration in truly helping others.
The benefits of helping others includes:
– Connecting you to someone in an otherwise very lonely world
– Enhancing someone else's life
– Making the world a better place to live
Things you can do to help others
– Teach them something new
– Smile and be friendly
– Volunteer for a charity
– Start your own charity
– Make a donation
– Share your knowledge
– Help someone do something – e.g. cross the street, change a flat tyre, get from A to B
– Donate something you don't use
– Comfort someone
– Buy food for a homeless person
– Listen to someone
– Do a chore for someone
– Send a nice email
– Share your favourite things (movie, song etc) – if you enjoyed it, someone else may too
– Give a loved-one a massage
– Praise someone publicly
– Be patient with someone
– Tutor a child
– Make a care package for someone
– Speak up for someone – sign a petition, write a letter etc.
– Offer to babysit
– Share what you have
– Find out what's valuable to someone and get it for them
– Present an opportunity to someone or make them aware of it
– Give transparent feedback to better performance (without being too critical)
– Introduce people to each other, help people network
– Give someone a gift
– Do something nice for someone without expecting anything in return
– Welcome a new neighbour by baking for them
– Use your power to help people around you have a good day
– Only see good in people and treat everyone accordingly
We're all here together and the only certainty is we have one life and we're living it now. Help others to be the best they can be where ever you can, because if everyone surrounding you is doing the same, imagine the powerful world we would live in.

Well, I'm feeling pretty good going into the playoffs this year. Our roster is solid, and although we aren't 100%, all of our players are going to be ready to go once the playoffs start.
I know it's jumping ahead, but I'm fairly confident that we will plow through the first round, and then beat OKC in the second. Although Durant is playing out of his mind, he will need a healthy Westbrook by his side to have a chance in advancing.
So skip ahead to the WCF. Obviously, I'd rather play the Rockets over the Spurs, but how likely do you think this is? Do you guys see the Rockets taking this series? They are 3-0 against them this year so far. Even if the Rockets extend the series to 7 games and wear the old Spurs down, I think it will give us a huge advantage.
What do y'all think?
Rockets are obviously the preferred match up, but we have unfinished business against the Spurs. Beating the Spurs on our way to the finals would be amazing
For me it is really not time to jump ahead. Lets take it one series at a time. We have a damn good chance with the way the team is set up right now but you never know how its going to go. Health is a key issue.
Lets not jump ahead, the team has done nothing YET.
Where is OKC in all this mix?
thinking the first round is gonna be just as hard as the WCF. the west is stacked and its not that far-fetched to think that a team like the Suns could make a run.
Why are we looking ahead? Especially past the first round for?
Can we delete this jinx thread please?! Weren't we talking about RW's injury last year when we were up 2-0 on Memphis? How'd that work out for us?
DELETE THIS JINX!!!!! What are you people doing talking about WCF when we don't even know who we play in the first round??? And just assuming we crush through OKC?? uggggh c'mon clipper nation. This is how teams lose to the bucks or the magics of the league...
Ridiculous thread. You might as well just say you feel pretty confident Clips will win the championship.
No such thing as a "jinx thread". Stop being so superstitious.
Seriously though, it's best to not think about the WCF until the Clips get there.
Getting past the first round and OKC in the 2nd round is tough enough lol.
I apologize, I didn't know people would would be so angry at this thread. I'm a new poster on this forum, so my bad.
Mods, can we please delete this thread?
Don't apologize. You're not the one who's being ridiculous, it's the people talking nonsense about "jinx threads" and whatnot. While I do agree that it's best to not look too forward, it's ludicrous to claim a forum topic can "jinx" the Clippers.
Jinx shminx.
Heathy, the Clippers have the best team in the NBA and an elite coach.
Name a BIG THREE that is so balanced? A REAL center, a REAL point guard and a REAL power forward and a Real Sixth Man of the Year candidate. No one is playing out of position -- like Pau as a center years ago. We even have an enforcer in Matt Barnes.
This team plays offense and defense and can lock down the opposition for minutes at a time. Along with two crunch time, big time scrorers who shoot a high peercentage -- CP3 and BG.
Obviously, the long time Clippers fans here on CTB are a bit gun shy, so optimism is hard to come by. But, objectively, you will find this team is a lot better than even the most rabid fans have thought.
Don't worry, be happy.
(Of course the NBA refs as I say over and over again, will try and knock us out of the Title -- so the Clippers had better play all forty eight minutes.
My vote,delete this thread. NO good comes from counting your victories before they exist. That is the baseball fan in my and that part of me is very superstitious. ONe step at a time.
