Blake definitely came back too soon.
Darren had played 40 minutes so far.
Lets go Dudley. One more.
Doc should not be keeping Blake in bring in davis
Okay. There's a reason he's back in the ball game. Doc isn't stupid, he'd pull him if it made sense. Lets hope the decision pays off
OMG, CP bingo! What a shot!
Chris Freaking Paul doing his Crawford impersonation
Looks like Paul's 3 point shot is officially back.
Of course CP makes it
Blake is gimpy put in Davis.
Ouch! To the heart of Phoenix fans. By CP3
What did Chris say? It looked hilarious. something like "I'm a bad motherf**ker"
should be Clippers Ball
Morris actually hit that one out
we have to get a good score then a stop
Any one knows what happened to DJ?? Or is it match-ups??
Yay Blake!!!!! LETS GET THIS!
Blake shouldn't be in? Pah !
Big put back by Griffin.
Dammit bitter sweet. Now stupid Memphis is in the playoff
His defense hasn't been good at all this game... And their bigs can shoot the 3. DJ can't get out on them and when he does they are flying by him..
Wow, what a great put-back by Blake on Matt's miss. Doc drew up yet anther awesome play though.
Weird not to see DJ playing, but I think it's a small ball counter lineup since Dudley's playing nominally okay
This is the reason Doc kept him in. Great positioning by Blake!
Wasn't making a huge impact and doc was riding the momentum
Hell Yeah!!!!!!
no they are still in the 9 spot.
Yo, how many times have we broken the law this season... feels like atleast 8.
To be honest, I don't mind them being in the playoffs as long as it's not against us. I'd actually like to see them face OKC so they can beat them up and tire them out.
lets not speak too soon. looks like its clips ball.. but well see
Clipper ball it should be.
Refs. Out to LA.
I swear CP3 always gets blocked on his drives at the end of games...
we have to score here guys.. then get a stop
It's always out off Morris, lol
I'm calling an and 1 for Blake..
You mean fouled
The whole team just converges, lol
Lets go Matt. Good effort by Matt going after it. What a scramble!!!
I hope Duds pulls this out.
Blake was open for a split second... Should have taken a shot.
Lets get a stop.. no 3's.
Blake should have just gone with it
Now is the time to bring in DJ!
It's OK... We are still up. The pressure is on them, I am confident.

Disagrees with Pitts column
I've been mulling over something that your beloved Leonard Pitts wrote in a recent column. He said that Second Amendment supporters have a fantasy of hobnail boots coming down the street. In other words, he thinks it's a fantasy to think that a government can be oppressive of its citizens.
I will be 68 years old soon, and I am including a partial list of governments that have killed their unarmed citizens en masse just in my lifetime: Germany, Japan, Russia, China, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Cambodia, many African countries, Kosovo, Iraq,Afghanistan and of course Syria. This list does not include oppressive regimes like Hugo Chavous in Venezuela, who uses death squads to suppress opposition. And I'm sure Pitts must think that Iran is just swell.
A great number of our veterans support the citizen soldier concept that our forefathers endorsed because we have seen firsthand what a government can do to unarmed citizens who are unable to protect themselves. How is it that a government employee is inherently responsible with a gun, but his law-abiding civilian counterpart is not?
By the way, our country was founded because of the oppressive taxation of Great Britian on its citizens. Sound familiar?

It can be hot; it can be cold. It can be sweet, bitter or just plain fruity. Tea leaves, all from the Camellia sinensis plant, are processed all the time worldwide to excite or soothe any taste bud.
With so many kinds, you might need a little guiding on choosing the right flavor, and The Curiosity Shop is just the place to go.
The shop will be holding a seminar on oolong tea today, on African red and flavored black teas on Feb. 7 and on herbal infusions and flavored green teas on Feb. 28. Each seminar will be held at 4 p.m. in the shop's Dickens Cafe and cost $20. Tickets can be bought at the shop on 224 Park Ave. S.W.
The store sells more than 90 flavors of tea, including popular flavors cranberry orange black tea, peach apricot and pomegranate white, according to Cullen Cooke, store supervisor and tea steward.
All its teas comes from independent distributors who get them from different global regions.
A few categories that tea can be broken down into are white, green, black, oolong, pu-erh and yellow.
According to the shop's website, white tea is barely processed and comes out as clear with a "savory, nutty and vegetal" flavor. Green tea doesn't keep well but has a "grassy, vegetal, nutty and sweet" taste. Black tea, or red tea as its referred to in China, tends to have more of a "cocoa, earth, molasses and honey" taste, while oolong tends to cross green and black teas in the way its prepared and taste. Pu-reh tea is aged and post-fermented with a strong earthy flavor, and yellow tea, the rarest of all Chinese teas, has its buds fried in the process and has one of the more complicated growing processes. Herbal infusions are usually thrown into the tea family but falsely so. The beverage, in fact, is made from different plants and flowers like mint, lavender and chamomile, making it technically not a tea type.
"My nice cup of tea is an oolong tea," Cooke said. "It has the body of a black but not as bitter or strong."
Tea is often known for its health benefits. White, oolong and yellow have high levels of antioxidants, while pu-reh lowers cholesterol, helps digestion and cures hangovers.
Local tea aficionados Sedley Roach and Connie Gantt love the hot beverage for its healthy aid.
"I use it for my asthma," Gantt said. "Peppermint and ginger tea is good for digestion."
Roach and Gantt have been admirers of the drink – and all the socializing that comes with it – for more than 10 years. The two use to take high tea and have crackers at an antique mall – near where the Richland Avenue (new) Walmart sits now – and thought one day, "Well, we can do this," Gantt said.
Their Christmas Tea event was created. Members of their bridge club and the public came.
"We combined both passions, bridge and high tea," Roach said about their events. "It's just bloomed ever since. We love tea and entertainment."
The two have been contacted to assist with social events. Last December, they – with their teacup collection from around the world– made an appearance at Aiken Women's Christian Connection "Holiday High Tea."
"It's a great way to bring in the holiday," Pam Morin, event chair, said about the event in November. "It's so much fun because the ladies will wear their hats and festive clothing."
In December, children dressed as casual as wearing jeans to having ribbons in their hair and wearing dresses to a different type of tea event – the Aiken Civic Ballet's fourth annual "The Nutcracker" tea.
Hot tea was poured from a silver tea set into crystal cups that afternoon at the Aiken County Historical Museum.
The tea was served mainly for the adults, Diane Toole Miller, Crosby-Miller School of Dance owner, said. Meeting the dancers of "The Nutcracker" was what was designed for the children.
Ava Swanson came to the event with her older-sister Anna. Ava had never came before and enjoyed the toy exhibit held upstairs and meeting the dancers.
"I think it's wonderful," she said.
Miller sees tea events as sort of a Southern tradition, and the dance event as a "big Christmas party for kids."
Coffee and iced tea were also served.
Tea is a widely enjoyed drink, being popular in places like China, India, Northern Africa – some of the original British colonies – and the UK, according to Cooke.
"It's not an (stimulant)," Cooke said. "Tea excites you but relaxes you are the same time."
Some tea, like black and green tea, does contain caffeine.
To prepare a proper cup of tea, preheat your teapot, coffee pot or any other odorless, heat-resistant pot.
Put the tea bag into your favorite mug. You can either use your own homemade tea bag or a pre-made bag. For those who are interested in making their own tea bags, places like the Curiosity Shop sell supplies like tea leaves and filters to get you started. Be aware of the strength of the different teas when making the bags, and be cautious on how the bag or filter's material could react to the water, Cooke said.
Now each type of tea needs to be brewed differently. Black and oolong teas require boiling water, while white and green teas need steaming water.
Personal taste might affect how long you brew the bag for. Usually its recommended to steep black tea for three to five minutes, oolong for two to five minutes and green for one to three minutes.
Next comes the moment you've been waiting for – remove the bag and enjoy your fine cup of tea. An inside tip: when removing the bag, use a squeezer on it to get out as much flavor of the leaves as possible.
If you decide after tasting it you want a little extra kick, Cooke recommends using milk for black and sugar, lemon and honey for green and oolong.
For Gantt personally, she prefers her tea pure but said that Roach likes sugar in hers.
With drinks comes food, and tea is very adaptable.
"Tea goes with everything," Cooke said.
Traditionally, the tea enjoyed in Britain is strong, so it's complemented with an oat or sweet cookie. Eating sweets like scones while drinking tea are not unheard of.
A variety of finger-food was served at "The Nutcracker" tea event from red cupcakes with "Nutcracker" figurines sticking out of them to finger sandwiches.
Something that might sound a bit off is drinking tea while eating meat, but there is a study being done on which tea goes best with which meat, according to Cooke.

The Lower State half of the Class AAA playoffs has been all chalk this year, with all the higher seeds winning to this point. The only break from that was a slight one, with both road No. 1 seeds beating their home opponents and setting up this weeks Lower State final between Strom Thurmond (12-1) and Hartsville (13-0).
Despite its lone loss to Eastern Christian Academy in Week Zero, Strom Thurmond is hosting this game because of the pre-determined sites for games between teams of the same seed. The same system had the Rebels on the road last week against Hanahan.
While head coach Lee Sawyer said hes always thankful to be playing in front of the home crowd, location is less important against the No. 1 team in the state in the last media poll. Strom Thurmond was No. 4.
This time of year, it doesnt really matter where you play, Sawyer said.
The Red Foxes have already been in the news this season with the death of senior offensive lineman Ronald Rouse. He collapsed on the field in a game on Oct. 5 and Rouse died from complications of an enlarged heart. Head coach Jeff Calabrese said the healing process is ongoing for his team.
One step at a time, Calabrese said. One day at a time, one step at a time. Thats all we can do.
On the field, Hartsville hasnt missed a beat, going undefeated in Region 6-AAA play on the strength of a Wing-T attack that has resulted in three players with at least 1,000 rushing yards and 17 scores on the ground.
Leading the way is senior Trey Samuel, who has racked up 1,909 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns on 140 carries this year.
At 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds, speed is the key to Samuels production.
You cant let him get on the edge, Sawyer said. Hes one that can go the distance on you if he gets the corner.
Fullback Trey Rogers, a 5-11, 215-pound senior, has also been getting chunks of yards this year 1,342 on 153 carries and has found the end zone 18 times. Rounding out the rushing attack is 5-6, 175-pound running back Dominic Robinson, with 1,173 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground.
While the Red Foxes certainly run more than they throw 506 rushing attempts to 113 passes on the year the passing game can still be an issue. Senior quarterback Shaquille Johnson has completed 47 of his 106 attempts for 812 yards and 17 touchdowns. Hes got a favorite target with 680 of the yards and 16 of the scores going to 6-1, 175-pound senior Trey Gattis.
Sawyer said the potential for big passing plays following up a string of runs has caught his staffs attention.
Thats something that is a big concern, Sawyer said.
Defensively, he said the key will lie at the back of the formation at the free safety position. For the Rebels, thats senior Demetrius Leysath, and Sawyer said hell have to be focused. Leysath will be required to help as an extra linebacker in running situations and stay deep in passing situations, which will mean discipline is crucial.
Anytime you play the Wing-T, the free safetys important, Sawyer said.
While the Rebels 3-5 attack might be seen as an asset against the Red Foxes because of its eight men in the box, Calabrese said the formation isnt as important as the quality of the defense. Theres no question for Calabrese at what level the Rebels play on the defensive side of the ball.
Strom Thurmond would be good if they were in any defense, he said. Coach Sawyer and his guys play defense the way its supposed to be played.
One area that the Red Foxes have been less than stellar is in ball security, fumbling 15 times on the season and losing 11 of them. Theyve managed to cause 31 fumbles and recover 12 of those, but Strom Thurmond senior running back Darius Hammond hasnt fumbled since his sophomore year.
On the other side of the ball, Calabrese was very complimentary of the Rebels main weapons. He said that there was no way to gameplan for the type of attack his team will see in Johnston tonight, other than fine-tuning his usually stout 3-4 scheme.
We know that Jauveer Hammond is a bolt of lightning Darius Hammond is a bolt of lightning with some other abilities, he said. We know that Ty Brooks is a fantastic wide receiver, and we know their offense is excellent at blocking.
That assessment encapsulates what has made the Rebels so potent on offense this season, led by Jauveers 1,653 passing yards, 1,131 rushing yards and 34 combined scores on the ground and through the air. Darius scored all three Rebel touchdowns last week to bring his total to 26 on the year running, receiving and returning kicks and punts to go with 1,448 rushing yards. Brooks cleared the 1,000-yard mark receiving with his efforts last week and has 11 touchdown catches on the year.
Sawyer said success against the Red Fox defense will depend on the Hammonds success on the ground.
Weve got to really establish the run to free us up in the passing game a little bit, he said.
The running game will also serve to stem the pass rush that Hartsville will look to bring against Jauveer. Four Red Foxes have six sacks or more on the year, led by defensive end Dequan Reddick with 9½ and fellow end Dwayne McDaniel with 6½.
Sawyer highlighted Reddick, a 6-4, 265-pound senior, as a cause for concern, and said tackles Jake Goforth and Salathian Simpkins would need to give their best effort to keep Jauveers jersey as clean as possible on passing plays.
We cant let (Reddick) dominate the game, Sawyer said.
The winner of tonights game will punch a ticket to Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia for the Class AAA state championship game next Saturday. Waiting there will be the winner of tonights Upper State final between Region 1-AAA champion Daniel (12-1) and surprising Region 3-AAA No. 3 seed Union County (8-5), coached by former University of South Carolina quarterback Steve Taneyhill.
Jeremy Timmerman has a journalism degree from Mercer University and has been at the Aiken Standard since June 2010.
What: Class AAA, Lower State Championship
Who: Strom Thurmond (12-1) at Hartsville (13-0)
Where: Johnston
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last Meeting: This is the teams first meeting

Let's see from which states/countries do we have fans, here on CTB. Where are you from? VOTE IN THE POLL, PLEASE! Thanks! 8)
I'm originally a Los Angelino born in East LA, moved to San Bernardino, and now I'm in Tennessee for college. And just letting you guys know, I definitely showed my support at a Buffalo wild wings when we were taking on the Grizzlies. And lets just say that I got the last laugh. haha
I am probably one of the few people on here from the midwest, especially Missouri. I'm not ashamed though. I went to LA back in 2004 to visit family, and the last night we were there, we watched a Clippers game on TV, my uncle was a Lakers fan and hated the Clips for some reason, so to be ornery i rooted for the Clips. They won and for some reason I started to like them. It wasn't until they made their playoff run in '06 that I became a full fledge fan. Its fun being a Clippers fan in St. Louis, because most people who watch NBA around here are Bulls/OKC/Memphis fans, all of which have had a tough time with the Clips lately.
If you are a fan in MO, show some love!
i rep St. Kitts & Nevis!

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
About 350 people, including more than 260 resident volunteers, participated in Saturday�s continuing search for missing 13-year-old Dylan Redwine. The organized searches focused on County Roads 240 and 501 and the areas around Lemon and Vallecito reservoirs.
�We�re looking for any evidence that might (help us) find Dylan,� said Lt. Ed Phippen, lead investigator with the La Plata County Sheriff�s Office Criminal Investigations Unit. The goal is to find Dylan alive, he said.
By about noon, 10 items of interest had been identified by searchers and were being reviewed, Phippen said. None of the items was considered of �substantial value,� he said.
Saturday�s search effort was just the latest in a series of law-enforcement and resident searches for Dylan, who vanished from his father�s home in Vallecito on the morning of Nov. 19.
Dylan was on a court-ordered visit with his father, Mark Redwine, who was divorced from Dylan�s mother, Elaine, in 2007.
Dylan had flown into Durango-La Plata County Airport the evening of Nov. 18, from Colorado Springs, where he was living with his mother and older brother.
A number of Redwine family members, including Dylan�s parents; his brother, Cory; and family friends helped with Saturday�s efforts.
�We�re glad to have them out here,� Phippen said.
They were among the 300 who signed up in advance, as well as the nearly 100 or so volunteering from a variety of groups and agencies, some in support functions, Phippen said.
When Dylan was first reported missing, authorities thought �he may have walked or run away,� Phippen said. But after a few days, it was clear something was very wrong, and the investigation became more intense.
�We�re doing a lot better than in the first few days,� he said.
�We hear about these types of situations� across the country, but don�t expect it here,� Phippen said.
�We�re doing the best we can with the resources we have,� and now are prepared and capable of moving ahead with the investigation, he said. He said that, �God forbid� this happens again, local authorities will be more prepared to deal with it.
In fact, the investigation and search have blossomed, Phippen said.
�When law enforcement can only go so far, we depend on the public,� media and other organizations and individuals to help, he said.
Phippen said all of the local registered sex offenders had been checked out and had alibis for the 48-hour period from when Dylan arrived at the airport to the time he was reported missing.
Phippen wanted to reassure residents that the Sheriff�s Office �does not believe there is a sex offender abducting children� from the area.
There are 144 registered sex offenders in La Plata County, according to the Sheriff�s Office website; 56 of those are not named on the website. Two are shown with Bayfield addresses.
The searchers were divided into groups of varying numbers to search through certain sections of roads and trails. Some of the searches were expected to take about four hours, while others would last until 3 or 4 p.m., when searchers would start losing sunlight.
In addition to the searchers on foot along the paved roads or other routes, additional searchers were on horses and all-terrain vehicles, especially in the more difficult areas around Lemon and Vallecito, Phippen said.
Silviculturist (tree grower) Darren White came from Allison to help out. White was a member of a group led by Durango resident Clay Colvig, a volunteer with La Plata County Search and Rescue.
The group searched along County Road 240 for about two miles, eventually meeting up with another group that had started four miles away moving toward Colvig�s group.
Another volunteer, Connie Allen of Vallecito, said she came to help because �we know the snow�s coming, and we want to do everything we can to help find Dylan.�
�I�m really impressed with the (volunteer) turnout,� said Colvig, director of Colvig Silver Camps.
Another member of Colvig�s group, Gail Caponi, came from Gallup, N.M., to help. Caponi had planned some activities in Durango and decided that if Dylan was her child, she would want other people to help, so that�s what she did.
Phippen said the search organization began Wednesday. That includes The Edgemont Highlands-Edgemont Ranch management, which provided the Edgemont picnic area off County Road 240 for the search staging area.
Among the organizations that added their support for Saturday�s search were Sheriff�s Office officers and mounted patrol, La Plata County Office of Emergency Management, La Plata County Search and Rescue, County Manager Joe Kerby and other county departments, Durango Fire & Rescue Authority, Durango Police Department, the FBI, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Archuleta County Sheriff�s Office, Colorado State Patrol, Durango Transit, Bayfield School District, the Southwest Colorado Chapter of the American Red Cross and others, Phippen said.
In addition to advising on the investigation, Phippen said the FBI provided two victim specialists to help the family cope with the situation.

Obama nominates Chuck Hagel for defense secretary 370.
(photo credit:Screenshot)
Republican lawmakers succeeded on Thursday in delaying a Senate vote on confirming President Barack Obama's choice of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary, but another vote was planned for later in the month and Obama said he expected his nominee to be approved.The tally was 58-40, with almost every Republican voting no, falling short of the 60 needed to pass a motion to stop debate and allow a vote by the full Senate on confirming the former Republican senator.

No. 22 MISSOURI 71, SOUTH CAROLINA 65
By R.B. FALLSTROM
Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. Frank Haith seemed fairly calm for a coach under fire, and one who shed his sports coat and tie while willing his team forward.
No. 22 Missouris second-half surge no doubt had a lot to do with it.
During a dismal first half Haith said he almost bust a blood vessel. After the Tigers rallied from 13 points down in the second half and held off South Carolina 71-65 on Tuesday, the coach said he was relieved that a lengthy NCAA investigation implicating Haith in recruiting violations at Miami was apparently about to end.
Earnest Ross and Jabari Brown hit key 3-pointers in the final 1:11 for Missouri, which was just 5 for 27 from long range overall.
Ross had a career-best 21 points and Brown had 17 for Missouri (14-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference), which is 11-0 at home this season and has won 12 straight at the Mizzou Arena since losing to Kansas State and coach Frank Martin, now in his first year at South Carolina, on Feb. 21, 2012.
Brown had eight points in a 20-2 run that gave Missouri a five-point lead with just under 12 minutes to go. Alex Oriakhi was 10 for 10 at the line and fouled out in the final minute with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers, who won despite 33 percent overall shooting.
Brenton Williams had 16 points with four 3-pointers for South Carolina (11-7, 1-4), which has lost four conference games by a combined 18 points and faced its first ranked opponent of the season. RJ Shawson added 10 points for the Gamecocks, who shot 37 percent.
Missouri had a huge advantage at the free throw line, going 28 for 36 compared to 11 for 17 by South Carolina. Martin stopped short of criticizing the referees.
I thought both teams were going at it at the rim, Martin said. Im not going to go there because Im probably not going to wake up really happy tomorrow if I go there.
I dont know what to tell you. They came at us. We went at them.
South Carolina went more than 5½ minutes between points, finally ending the drought on a tip-in by Brian Richardson that cut the deficit to three with 11:34 left.

After walking part of the South Downs Way on Wednesday I took the bus to Singleton, West Sussex, just to have a quick look around the village and especially the parish church, which is really the only place that I knew for certain had a connection with my BOXALL ancestors.
A notice on the door proclaimed the church to be dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and it wasn't until I was on the way home that I thought something was quite right with that.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I remembered seeing a postcard which had referred to it as being dedicated to the St John the Evangelist, now I was confused. It is not unheard of for postcard publishers to get their captions wrong on postcards, but I am sure it wasn't just on one postcard that I had seen that name, had I imagined it?
I went online in search of an answer, to the catalogues of the West Sussex Record Office on Access to Archives, and soon found the answer among the catalogue of records for the parish of Singleton:
Administrative history:
Surviving medieval sources indicate, but do not prove absolutely, that Singleton church was originally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The dedication appears to have been lost after the Reformation, and the church was simply referred to as the parish church. A misreading by C. Gibbon in 'Dedications of Churches and Chapels in West Sussex' (SAC vol. 12, 1860) of money bequeathed to Sir John of Singleton as money bequeathed to St. John of Singleton, led to the belief for the next century that the church was dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. When the error was discovered, the church was rededicated in March 1979, and is now the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Singleton. (See SAC vol. 118, p.385-387)
So it seems that I hadn't imagined the wrong name, it had once been dedicated to St John the Evangelist, mistakenly as it turned out, and then in 1979 it reverted back to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The postcard would almost certainly have been published in the early 1900s when it was known as St John the Evangelist. It also seems that for a period it didn't have a dedication at all.
This raises questions for my research and I certainly need to be careful how I refer to the church in my research. Would my ancestors have known it as St John the Evangelist? or just the parish church? What do the actual parish registers record as the dedication? I sure know how to make things more complicated for myself.

Maloney vs. L.A. Saturday
Even though they didn't end up using Micah Owings from the bullpen in the three-game sweep of the Brewers, the Reds decided that they will call up lefty Matt Maloney from Triple-A Louisville to fill Saturday's rotation vacancy vs. the Dodgers.
Maloney last pitched on Sunday at Toledo and allowed four runs and six hits over six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts. Overall at Louisville, he is 9-9 with a 3.08 ERA. Maloney made three starts for the Reds and was 0-2 with a 6.11 ERA. He was optioned back to Louisville on June 20.
Even with Owings' unused arm available, Justin Lehr saved a very spent bullpen with his 7 2/3 inning outing today in an 8-5 win. The Reds were down, 4-0, in the first inning. Lehr knew he would have to eat it even if Milwaukee kept running the score.
"After the first, I figured I was going to throw my pitch count no matter how many runs I gave up. So, I just kept plugging away," Lehr said. "There was nothing you could do, I understood. If we were down by six runs, I'm not coming out of the game at 50 pitches. It was nice to start getting some quick outs."
Don't look now, but the Reds have won four in a row. It tied a season high set May 24-27.

Thanks, good introduction, definitions and caveats. In applications where one is involved ina company producing a family of or similar in nature to, products, re-use seems obvious. In some cases, as a consultant or contractor, the code can become the property of the client, same is true often in the defense industry - re-use from program to program is generally disallowed. Interesting you are involved in an IP litigation.
perhaps 'scalability' or 'platform independence' are concepts that you relate to 're-usable' code
Templates, "Wizards" and app notes often have or can create re-usable code
coded "knowledge" is IP (Intellectual Property) ... I agree, you don't usually hear about 'knowledge'as a re-usable entity in software ... tho the best programmers usually get to roll the dice again ...
re-use starts with library functions, drivers .. general functions of a particular nature ... boot loaders, debuggers, RTOS's, Drivers ... specific functions to application functions ... also, setup software re-use is important
Thanks again.
I've also used C+, Assembly, JAVA, and pascal.
I've used it on pc's too but mainly small embedded systems.
C is still the code of choice for embedded applications at my last 4 jobs.
This is nice to be able to go back and review the older classes.
thank you Gary,
a veri late hi.
vacation ...
Thank you Gary!
@Gary: C, Perl, Sh, Java, C+
@Gary - C is still very useable, but why explicitly exclude anything object oriented?
@Gary: both (PCs and custom H/W)
@Gary: reusable - for different projects without significant modification (e.g. modular)
Great to have access to the recorded sessions
Missed the live lecture again...
Thanks for another good lecture
I actually use higher level Delphi and C#
Picking up a week late
C+ is better when code is big.
hi everyone
Hi everyone,
I am here. C+ is not a new thing for me but I haven't used it in my embedded system. The thing seemly is changing. Hopefully I can got chance to do it in my new project.
Thanks Gary and Rob. See you in about 1/2hr
@gongji: I've spent years on that issue of firmware/hardware syncing issues. Contact me (my email is on slide 1) and I can tell you a lot.
Missed the live session. Catching up on the archive. Very nice slides and good intro. Thanks a lot! Looking forward to Friday's session on testing. That is a big problem in my division. Our firmware development cannot start without hardware/ASIC, which itself takes one year to develop. Is everyone else using FPGA or some kind of hardware emulation systems for this? Can we build a software-based platform for firmware development?
custom hardware, using C and assembly code, no OS, ARM9-based
Thanks for the class
Catching up on Monday's archive.
Thank you Gary; very informative lecture
Target : Industrial Control equipments
Language : C mostly
Sorry, missed it live....Thanks the class was informative.
Amazing, the archived version is almost as good as Live AND it all seems to work even with Windows 8!!
Well, after last week, better late than never....
Thanks Gary.
thank you for the info.
Thank you Gary! Will look forward to hear your presentations during the week.
@pdxesto: Yikes! A religious war! Braces same line or not? Braces indented or not? Vi or emacs? Ksh or csh? RPN vs Algebraic calculators?
> where to put the {} braces.
Now you're talking Religion... :-)
@au79: It is possible to have ground rules on how to develop reusable code. I give a variety of techniques this week; some of those can be used as standards for how it is to be done in an organization.
@salmanza: One of the things that software forensics expert witnesses have to investigate is if two codes are similar because it was the same programmer. It is recognized that a person has their own style, conventions, and tricks that will carry over to another company. What you don't want to do is to copy one company's trade secrets for algorithms and steps into another company.
@javawantabe: Your question about where to steer your CS and EE students would be better answered with a phone call. Go to my website, www.garystringham.com, and you'll find my phone number at the top.
@javawantabe: Good question about if it is possible to write code not already patented. It is very difficult for the patent holder to discover infringment by another party because it would likely require examining source code in order to make that determination. A potentially-infringing product would have to have an externally-visible behavior that looks enough like the patented steps in order to show enough evidence of probabiliy before source code could be obtained.
Thank you
@Brandon: If the bickering over coding style is causing a problem, then someone needs to put a stake in the ground and strongly encourage (force) everyone to follow that one standard. My experience is that most engineers will adapt to the coding style of the code their modifying but there were some things that had to be specified. I will recommend "Embedded C Coding Standard" by Michael Barr available on Amazon and other places. It even discusses where to put the {} braces.
Thanks everyone for attanding Gary's program. Each day Gary will present more information on embedded systems. The programs begin at 2:00.
If you have trouble with the audio, try refreshing the page. Or, you might try the Chrome or Firefox browsers.
See you tomorrow.
bye for now
good day
thank you for a good info
@Don H: The issue of trusting a coder is not just a reuse issue. You have to trust the coders that work on the other modules of your system. But I think what you are getting at is having two people trying to write the same reusable module when both may have different ideas and opinions on what direction to take it. And it is especially complicated with colleagues on another continent. I would suggest that one person be the owner of the code. The other person may make changes, but the one person should look at the changes to approve them or make necessary changes as needed.
Thanks all, Hear you tomorrow.
Thanks, Gary, for a terrific program. Gary will take questions for a few more minutes. Then we'll see you at 2:00 pm tomorrow for the second in this weeklong series.
Rodan1984, the audio portion of the show is over, but you can hear it as an archive. It becomes archived almost instantly. You can probably access it now.
@Kentj Thanks! Good advice.
Thanks Kentj. That makes a lot of sense.
To all that are left... The quickest way to test your audio before a session starts is to check an archived session. If you have audio there you will have it on the day's session.
thank you
@GStringham Yep! We have all sorts of different controllers, sensors and RTUs.
@Brandon: Your questions about reusable code across business units is a good one. There would be lots of aspects of it and I wouldn't be able to type a short response here. I'll see if I can touch on it this week. Or, send me an email (see slide 1 for the address.)
Thank you. I'm curious to hear your views on ways that a group might establish some groundrules so that techniques for "code reuse" can become somewhat similar across a development team (or, if you even think such a thing is feasible). Looking forward to the rest of the series!
@Lawson: Firmware for irrigation system! Way cool! My Dad was an irrigation engineering professor and he and I have talked automated irrigation systems. Fun stuff!
Yes @rodan1984 the live session is over, I believe they will make available a replay session later on
Session is over except for Live chat. To hear what you missed, it's archived already.
hellou I lost internet when I came back there is not audio
guess session is over??
@Gary Thanks for the intro. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thanks. IT people here are working on it. Wish I had caught this sooner.
thank you for your presentation; in the case you have worked in more than company, you will pretty much use the similar style in writing code, so you will develop new products using the techniques you learned from the past, can this be a problem? Code will be in general different but functino names can be similar (specially when developing common device drivers like SPI, i.e, spiWrite, interrupt handling, ADC read filtering, etc).
Gary, can you comment on the trust in the coder? Using code from another colleague on another continent requires understanding what the code was doing and also what the coder was doing.
@Gary Haha, maybe I'll try that next time. We're at Eagle and Pine, just a short drive down the road, except around 5pm ;)
For those of you who can't hear because your company is blocking the audio, you can log in later from somewhere else, such as from home, and replay today's lecture.
@pdxesto: I worked on HP LaserJet printers in Boise, Idaho.
Javawantabe asked: Is it possible to write code that hasn't already been patented?
@Brandon. I'm near Eagle and Chinden. So that is very near east Meridian for you. Maybe you can hear me out the window. :-)
I am from a small college and trying to intermix CS and EE into the same program. So far it is very successful. I'm faced with a challenge of teaching C+ on AVR hardware. Should be fun.
Any advice you have that you would give to upcomming coding students? etc. direction of focus, hardware to try, areas of growth?
Good start. Thanks!
Thank You
Thank you Gary.
Hardest part is convincing management the effort to genericize solutions is worth it.
Thanks, looking forward to tomorrow.
Thanks Gary and Rob!
Thanks... Good stuff!
Thank you for a great introduction. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Great start on this subject.
Thank you.
Thanks Gary
thanks Gary
Thanks Gary and Rob
Looking forward to the rest of the week. Thanks Gary!
Thanks Gary and Rob.
Thanks Gary. And thanks Digi-Key!!
tHANKS Mr Stringham
Thanks for a great and informative presentation today
Thanks, Gary
looking forward to the rest of the materials.
If your product is complicated, there will almost certainly be some patent infringement. This is the reason why many companies (e.g. NVidia) refuse to open-source their code.
Thanks Gary!
Gary, Thank you for today's presentation
Verify informative. Thanks Gary!
We're now on slide 20.
code reuse can sometimes translate into more testing
big gotcha's can creep into the system when different compilers and/or compiler versions are used
have also been bitten by die revisions // microcontroller errata when re-using code
Patents are generally the process or algorithm. Not the specific code.
We're now on slide 19.
Poorly asked. Is it possible to write code that hasn't already been patented?
i write in c+
Is it possible to write code that hasn't already been written?
We're now on slide 18.
We're now on slide 17.
Villelaj, trying refreshing your browser or move to Chrome or Firefox.
I have audio problem too. can we preloading the audio file and listen later?
It is also difficult when you have several different engineers with different coding styles, and no one can agree on the "right way" to code so that it can be readable, let alone reusable.
We're now on slide 16.
"get it out the door now" - very true. it leads us to pad all estimates with time needed for internal items such as refactoring code to be re-usable. if you includ ethat on a quote to management they will say "drop the reuse and re-factoring"..
Audio keeps pausing.
I agree with asic guy, and to fire the programer who says it was hard enough to write therefore it should be hard to understand.
We're now on slide 15.
I agree, David.
custom hardware with OS, some without OS
great presenter not-so-great singer :) j/k
love the modified song!
We're now on slide 14.
One of the key benefits of getting to reuse code on custom hardware (ASICs) is for firmware and hardware engineers to work together to avoid arbitrary hardware changes (moving bits in registers, adding new asimilar bits within registers, moving registers for no good reason, etc). Firmware should have some influence with the hardware teams for quick turn-on. (skurdal)

good info
Feature Switches!!!
We're now on slide 12.
under stand options better.
Also I;ve worked on C+ projcest with spectacularly poorly written code; no reusable at all. The language guarantees nothing.
i want to understand what options exist and how to use them better.
I don't have sound. I think that it maybe be getting blocked by our IT as Lockheed Sunnyvale.
Reduce testing, increased stability and increased supportability
Avoid divergence - hate those forks!
"Clear where differences" - cool, hadn't thought of that.
Save time by not reinventing the code
Easy and safe when that code is reused.
I've had bad experiences with reuse in the past. I've worked on large teams so it's not up to just me to write reusable code. Also schedule pressure often causes people to ignore thoughts of future products and reuse. Many times I have had to reverse engineer code that i've attemped to reuse to resolve bugs, etc. So I am attending this hopeing to see some stragtegies to make this work better on future products.
We're now on slide 10.
Same reason I write good comments in English, to make life easier for the next guy (most likely me).
reuse as much code as possible (with as little re-writting as possible)
Want to make code writing faster between projects.
It's our Company Policy to write ReUsable codes.
reduce time to market, reduce development cost, reduce testing time, system scalability
save time and maybe reduce mistakes by reusing existing code
Use C+ to write Libraries for sensors -- then re-use in C programs (hopefully now Pascal) for embedded Cortex
Stablity, and a common pattern.
Reduces regression testing.
Quicker time to market. Easier maintenance.
because i realy like to reduce the time i spend programing
Reusing code == less code to maintain == less bugs
Robust and Modular approach to hardware
Want to use good code that I've already written
C, asm, C+
We change HW to run faster and better but don't want to rewrite SW.
Save time, improve reliability & robustness
Time saver. Why re-invent the wheel.
faster time to project completion
less work for the future, easier to maintain
Need to have code working in very short time, even with drastic hardware changes.
Just starting out and want to learn an efficient style of writing.
I'm a professor and want my students to do things the most efficient as possible.
Not enough time in the day to not reuse
faster time to market, more robust and tested systems

If no sound, press F5 or log out then back in.
Code reuse means less debugging at the end.
Reuse to me means three things:
1. Use of libraries for commonly employed functions2. Use of standard organization of code to maximize transfer from one app to the next.
No Sound, bummer for me!
We're now on slide four.
@Gary- REUSE Components or Modules that can be reused in future applications.
We're now on slide three.
Code segments and/or subroutines that can easily used in more than one application
Reusable: Using blocks of code from one project in another project.
Reuse - don't touch code, only tweak header file
My view of reuseable code is code that can be used in different projects.
Re-use would be recycling upper level modules.
Reuse of segments of code ie comm routines etc...
Audio is working fine.
portability, modularity, API
We're now on slide two.

This is a create subject. "topics covered this week on writing reusable code in C" so many people are talking C+ or some other language, but some times i just want plain C code.
Thanks so much for offering this to us.
@SciGuy - "aren't using C as resuability mechanishm. Why Not"" Hey SciGuy, check the discription of the course. It is about C code, not Java, not PHP, not C , etc......
Sounds exactly what I am looking for. thanks
I noticed that you aren't using C+ as a reuseability mechanism. Why not? I have found it a great way to reuse code. Is there anything in this lecture series that is applicable to C code reuse?
Hi. I hope this course will enhance the programming capabilities of the professionals who write C codes for their embedded applications.
I'm interested in your lecture

Hey guys- to decrease the amount of vertical scrolling, the system will automatically use a smaller (1/2 size) version of your avatar for posts that are not very lengthy. This will decrease the amount of vertical empty spaces currently for those posts. Just want to give guys a heads up if you thought maybe there was something wrong w/ the size of your avatars.
Also I've added some enhancements to help reading the threads easier. If you are on a mobile device like a smaller-screen smartphone, the avatars will be on the right side instead, and they will all show the smaller avatars. The fonts will also be larger in general.
Let me know if you have any questions or feedback- thanks guys!
Is there any way you could take out the pop up menu bar that appears over the login on the home page? Whenever I use my iPhone it pops up over the username and password box so I can't see what I'm typing. Thanks
On the iPhone, it should be on the right side (on the avatar side) and shouldn't protrude into the Quick Reply box. Did you try it today after the changes? Let me know- thanks.
Yeah it's still right on top of the login box in the right side. It's not that big of a deal because its only a minor nuisance when I try to sign in. I remember when it use to be on the left side it would just show a small box with a cross on it and if you click it then it opens up the menu bar. Now it's always opened up.
Any chance you can take out those terrible ads?
How about now?
Any chance you want to pay for the hosting for the site? Yeah without the ads there simply wouldn't be enough $ to pay for the monthly hosting costs. As is, the ads barely cover it.
Yep, it's all good now. Thanks David.
^^Cool- let me know if it pops up again somehow, or if there are any other improvements I can make for making it look better under an iPhone- thanks!
David building not just the best Clippers forum but maybe the best BASKETBALL forum on the net. I hope this website is profitable for you David and you continue to grow.
Thanks David.
It was getting nuts
Thanks David!
Hey, at least the ads are based on personal interests.

I needed to find out from the marriage register entry whether the Kate Driver who married Robert Cecil Allison in Beaumont, Essex was my 2x great-aunt, this would make her daughter Minnie my grandmother's cousin.
Unfortunately the marriage register image that I downloaded from the Essex Record Office website didn't give the conclusive evidence that I had hoped for. If anything it added another mystery which I tried not to be distracted by, Robert's father's name and occupation were missing. Interesting but probably not relevant to my current research.
On the 26th November 1903 in the parish church of Beaumont, Essex, Robert Cecil Allison (22 years old) married Kate Driver (a 27 year old). Neither had been married before, Robert gave his occupation as horseman but Kate had no occupation.
This age for Kate pretty much ties up with the 1911 census, giving her a birth year around 1876/77, and of course this doesn't agree with the Kate in my family tree who was born at the beginning of 1880 (I'm not sure of the exact date, but she was baptised on 28th March 1880). So I couldn't rely on this as proof.
I have already mentioned that Robert's father wasn't named in the register, but fortunately Kate's was. Her father was Thomas Driver, the name that I had hoped to see, the only fly in the ointment was that he was listed as deceased.
I knew that Thomas Driver my 2x great-grandfather was far from dead in 1903. Kate's mother had died in 1899 but her father actually remarried in 1908 at the age of 51, and finally passed away in 1945 at the age of 88 years.
Had Kate not known that her father was still alive? Did she deliberately lie about her father to avoid any awkward questions at the wedding? Had she lost contact with her family and didn't know whether he was still alive? Had there been some sort of falling out between Kate and her father?
Was I looking at the correct Kate Driver? Perhaps this wasn't my Kate Driver at all, but that she came from Framfield, Sussex was too much of a coincidence to ignore.

Editor's note: Every Friday, the Living on the Go section aims to feature a different local band or musician. If you play music or know someone who plays and would like to be in this section, contact Stephanie Turner.
When you have a band that's affected from The Beatles and The Eagles to Vince Gill and Lynyrd Skynyrd, there's no telling what they will bring to the stage.
In fact, some could say it's Anybody's Guess.
For close to two years, Ben Newman, Davie Shull, J.D. Davis, Shawn Woodward and Steve Davis have kept true to that name.
Anybody's Guess can technically be traced back to 1990s with Shull, Steve Davis said.
However, in the current set-up, it started with Steve Davis, Newman and Shull.
JD Davis was brought in with former band member Dwight Bradham. Newman had played with both before, Shull said.
Woodward came in 2011, when Dwight, a member of the Army National Guard, had to leave on his second tour.
All members sing except Steve Davis.
Among the instruments they can play are mandolin, harmonica, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, saxophone and the drums.
The group prides itself on its diversity.
"There is so much talent that so many people have, and there are so many different fields of music," J.D. said. "You can't really compare Johnny Cash with Led Zeppelin."
One afternoon you might spot the band in tuxedos playing Nat King Cole at the country club or wearing jeans and playing AC/DC at the corner bar the next night, Shull said.
The band regularly plays at Playoffs Sports Bar, The Red Pepper, Wing Place and the Skyline Club in Columbia.
Anybody's Guess has also appeared at the Aiken Steeplechase, the Lobster Race and the Chitlin' Strut in Salley.
"It's fun to mix it up," Newman said. "Playing at different venues gives you the opportunity to play different music."
The group can play rock, shag, beach, country and blues music, Shull said.
Newman went to University of South Carolina to study classical guitar but claims the Fender as his "gear of choice."
Shull, having played bass since he was in seventh grade, can still remember sitting down and trying to play the bass line to The Charlie Daniels Band song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."
J.D. came out of "musical semi-retirement" to join Anybody's Guess. He picked up his first instrument, the saxophone, when he was in the fifth grade.
Woodward, the newest member, works at a company in Lexington as a production line operator.
Steve's musical roots can be followed back to playing with his brother and dad, to whom he still credits for his skills, such as timing.
Their name popped up from not knowing what else to call themselves while at a festival, Shull said.
Now it stands for what the band is all about.
"What you might hear when you come to hear us, it's anybody's guess," Shull said.
For more information on the band, visit www.anybodysguess.net or the band's Facebook page.

I do not know if this is a joke or not Sounds like it is
get behind the big fella
Clipper Daryl has about as much money as ,well ,me. Plus he only is raising half of what he needs,this will be a billion dollar deal.
Umm ok. Lol. But I love this guy. Always cheering on our team at every game.
LOL, he's got a long way to go to come up with even a down payment. It'd be a great feat if he actually gets the amount. At least we'd know he will always be cheering for the Clips!
He should hit up his buddy Mark Cuban for a few bucks.
Get rich scheme. lol
This is awesome, Clipper Darrell is a way bigger Clipper fan than anyone else here. I mean come on we actually pay money to watch this team he is so awesome they basically pay him to watch the team. Also he is a super loyal fan, never once has he gone to cheer for any other team ( no not even Long Beach st or Chivas USA) while wearing that teams color suit. I highly suggest everyone feed into his ego.
Whoa there, Tiger. You might want to rethink that...
I don't think any of us here flew to Dallas to listen to Mark Cuban's offer to cheer for the Mavs. Also, most of us here have never been asked by the Clippers to stop using their name without authorization to make money for ourselves. Plus, most of us actually PAY for our tickets, too.
I'm not going to hate on the guy, but let's not make this into anything more than it is... a Clipper-Darrell engineered reason to talk about Clipper-Darrell.
Damn... I just wrote all that before I realized you were being sarcastic.
You got me fair and square. Good one!
My whole comment was 100% sarcastic..
See my edit... and collect 1 rep.

April / May Astrology Report
The period of this month's report begins with the Sun in Aries full Moon in Libra, exact on the Monday the 18th April at 12:44 pm, and ends with the Sun in Taurus full Moon in Scorpio, exact on Tuesday the 17th of May at 9:10 pm.
Note, a full Moon always occurs in the sign opposite to that which the Sun is in. So after Taurus, in the yearly cycle of the zodiac it goes like this: Sun Gemini / Moon Sagittarius; Sun Cancer / Moon Capricorn; Sun Leo / Moon Aquarius; Sun Virgo / Moon Pisces; Sun Libra / Moon Aries; Sun Scorpio / Moon Taurus; and so on around the wheel of the zodiac.
The full Moon is a time of maximum light and potential awareness, a time when what was begun at the new Moon two weeks prior is brought to creative fruition. The dominant themes of the current Aries/Libra full Moon lunation are reconciling the desires of self [Aries] with the needs of others [Libra]; and harmonizing the Aries desire for rapid, inspired change with the Libran need for fair and dispassionate consideration of the potential impact of that change on the legitimate interests of all affected parties. With five planets in Aries and only two in Libra, the Arien drive to get things done quickly is likely to triumph over the Libran preference for negotiation and compromise.
According to esoteric tradition, the Taurus/Scorpio full Moon is the most powerful lunation of the year, as the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama the Buddha are all reputed to have occurred under it's auspices. It is further said that every year at this time ascended masters gather together in the mythical Wesak valley of the high Himalaya to further the evolution of all humanity under the beneficent guidance of the Buddha himself.
Whether literally true or not, we can all make use of the potent rays of this lunation to advance along our chosen spiritual path. Meditation undertaken at this time can be especially powerful in freeing ourselves from the grip of dark obsessive thoughts that bind us to the wheel of suffering. Like a lotus flower whose roots lie deep in the mud, we can grow toward the light and warmth of our inner spiritual Sun and float, if only for a few precious moments, serenely on the waters of life.

Even though a powerful storm system blasted Aiken with heavy rain and high winds Wednesday night, it didn't cause serious problems.
A tree fell on Columbia Avenue in North Aiken and blocked the road around 8 p.m., but it was cleared away quickly, according to Cpt. David Turno of the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Sgt. Jake Mahoney, also with Public Safety, reported there was spot flooding on Whiskey Road and in other areas.
"This storm had a lot of warning with it from all the news that was covering it," Turno said. "We saw some of the damage that happened in Georgia, so we were prepared. But we were pleasantly surprised that we didn't suffer any damage like others did."
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office also didn't hear of any severe difficulties caused by the storm system.
"The only reports of damage we had were just that some tree limbs were blown down, nothing major," said Sgt. Jason Feemster. "That was all our dispatch was made aware of."
Robert Yanity, a spokesman for SCG&E, said the number of customers reporting outages was "about 3,100 system-wide at our peak." At one point, approximately 1,000 of those customers were in Aiken County, he said.
"It was hard to determine an exact number," he said. "We saw the number just go up and down, so 3,100 is kind of a rough estimate."
On Thursday, SCE&G's website reported there was no outages in Aiken County.
"They are scattered around Columbia and the Charleston area," said Yanity of the remaining outages. "The number is significantly lower than what we had earlier today, and we'll still keep working until we get everybody back up."
Many of SCE&G's electricity customers live in the southwestern quadrant of South Carolina.
"I think the brunt of the storm actually passed a little bit north of us, so we're pleased with that," Yanity said. "Of course, we're always prepared no matter what the situation is, but we certainly didn't have the vast amount (of outages) that we were expecting and were prepared for."
Outages caused by the storm affected 2,500 to 3,000 households served by Aiken Electric Cooperative, according to Muriel Carter, the cooperative's communications coordinator. The cooperative has around 45,000 customers.
"If it was any worse, we would have called in the ranks," Carter said. "It was on the verge of being major; it was big. But we were able to repair them (the problems involving outages) quickly and get them all back up."

His job as a rim protector is to help out. If he doesn't help
out the guy gets a free layup. The PF is SUPPOSE to rotate.
This is basketball defense 101. You learn this in beginners camp.
I don't understand why the Clippers can't get it.
Ryan Hollins!
Turkoglu nice pass to Hollins for the jam!
Jared Dudley break-away layup, Clippers by 15!
Portland trailing Toronto by 1 late.
Turk with some D!
Wow, great recovery dunk by Hollins and timely steal by Turk. Keep up the pressure, Clips!
bout time we put some separation on these scrubs, seriously we make some games look tougher than they should be
SMH.... don't tell me Portland's going to fluke out another close game.
I mean when he has the space he should come over for sure but seems bad things happen after that. We either alter the shot and its missed and the other team gets the offensive rebound or the pass off. We need more talking on defense and less leaking out in my opinion.
Another smart pass by Turkoglu to Hollins to draw the foul.
Hedo deserves a medal for the game.
Willie hits the long corner 2, assist Hedo!
I agree. It's like our biggest hole man. We really need to fix it. The warriors
did the same play like 10 times in a row and did the pass off and they got easy layups and dunks every time.
Great shot, Willie!
With Turk, this bench look formidable. Good to have him on the team.
Wow, DJ made his free throws!
Hey DJ hits a pair!
Crawford's been pretty amazing tonight.
Dang, Blazers pulled through in the end for a win. Phooey. Clippers definitely need to win this.
Turk is awesome!
What a sequence- Jordan the block, the Hedo patiently lobs it to him for the dunk at the other end!
Was that a foul by Green? Bogus call.
Jared Dudley hit garbage / so much for him improving his espn ranking!
Hedo is amazing man.
Well, I'm officially 100% sold on Hedo.
Crawford with the swish as the shot-clock was running down!
Dudley shoot man don't take so long to load up the shot. What happen to JJ?
Dudley has lost his confidence after that airball. He is hesitating now. not good.
I'm starting to feel bad for Dudley. We know he can shoot better than this.
Doc signing Turk was a great decision. I hope he has another one for a backup big.
Dudley must have the worst tendonitis in recorded human history, because he has been useless all season.
Jamal with a bingo!
Jamal HUGE bingo no the no-look pass from Griffin!
I hate saying it but I really resent him. Wish he would go to the lakers
LMAO, Crawford fouled again on the 3-point line.
J-Crossover draws another 3 FTs!
Nice pass from Blake and shot from Jamal!
And way to draw the foul, Jamal!
It's gotten to the point where it's getting frustrating to see Crawford miss his attempted fouled 3's!
We're actually gonna do a Lawler's Law after all.
Crawford what a pass to DJ for the MONSTROUS dunk!
Great hustle by Blake in trying to get that ball.
Hayward was about to get the Brandon Knight but he thought better of it. lol
Game over. On to Denver.
Awesome shot by Blake, lol.
What and AND-1 by Blake, trickles the ball along the top of the backboard & through the net!
NICE block Hollins. Bullock is in now.
Hollins killing shots.
Reggie hits a runner in the lane!

Sorry to CTB for trolling the other day using the screen name ClipperPam. My attempt at humor was perceived by some to be offensive and therefore I apologize to site admin David and ClipperSam. He can get quite annoying with his negativity but I guess all is entitled to their own opinions/thoughts and I have to respect that. Sorry again and thanks for giving me another shot
Don't mention it Phu.
Personally, I think ClipperSam should have been banned a long time ago. His repetitive, constantly negative and disrespectful posts (questioning the intelligence, and even the honesty of anyone who disagrees with him) may not actually break the site rules, but they certainly violate the spirit of them.
I would give a "thumbs down" to you even having to create this thread, but I don't want it to effect your ability to start new topics.
Thanks for the kind words cleepers.
I dont wanna say anything, because I dont wanna get banned. All I can say is that was hilarious. I agree Cleepers
Any time, mate
No need to apologize, I actually think ClipperPam made a valid point, I'm sad to know she got banned
thanks Bryan

The route from Amberley, West Sussex to Arundel, West Sussex is not a particularly challenging route, it is only about five or six miles and is largely flat following the meandering course of the River Arun.
In contrast to the preceding week the weather on Saturday was quite gloomy. The weather forecast had warned that the warm and sunny weather wouldn't last until Saturday, and it was right. We saw the sun on a couple of occasions, but most of the time we were blanketed in cloud. If the sun had been shining we would have been pleased with the gentle breeze, but as it was it did nothing to help the situation.
We (my wife and I) began at Amberley railway station, alighting with several other walkers, but whilst they were probably off to join the South Downs Way we followed the road along to Houghton Bridge and headed roughly south along the eastern bank of the river.
It was good to leave the road behind and head into the countryside, we couldn't leave the railway behind however as the line also follows the river south. Before long we left the river bank and followed a narrow twisting path enclosed on both sides by hedges. Eventually this emerged onto a road, a narrow country road that lead us into North Stoke.
I had never been to the village of North Stoke before, although from the map I knew that it was not really a village, but more a small collection of farmhouses. What I hadn't realised from the map (I am terrible at noticing the contour lines) was that it was perched on a hill, not that great a hill but enough to raise it above the river's flood plain.
The only public building in the village appeared to be the church. I was glad we decided to make a slight detour down the road to visit the church. It is a real gem, surrounded by a small churchyard and dwarfed by a large yew tree. The church is no longer used as a place of worship and is cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust.
Stepping inside the church for the first time was truly like stepping back in time, so many of the churches I have visited have been "restored" modernised, with the trappings of modern-day worship such as under-floor heating and modern seating, but this was just a plain and simple unadulterated church.
To my knowledge I have no family connections with North Stoke, but I really felt that this was the closest I have ever come to seeing where and how my ancestors worshipped. This probably over simplifies things, because my ancestry spans four hundred years of evolving religious worship, and ranged from large London churches to small rural churches like this.
The first thing that greets you as enter through the south door is the wonderful font. It is a superb example and is perfectly at home in this church. It is so simple in its bulbous shape, with no frills or elaborate carving or decoration, just plain and simple stone. It has obviously seen better days and has been patched up many times, but has no doubt served the purpose for which it was designed with the minimum of fuss.
