Clippers Vs. Rockets - 2013-11-04
Gold: Chris Paul - Certainly making his case for MVP clear. Already his second 20-15 game of the year.
Silver: J.J. Redick - Started of the game excellent and led up to be the leading scorer of the team.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - Another great, off-the-bench performance along with a few daggers.
-------------------------Medal List-------------------------------------
Platinum Medal
Gold Medal
Man you are stingy with your platinums.
Platinum: CP3 - monster controlling the game
Gold: Redick - outplayed Harden
Silver: DJ - I think he outplayed Howard
Bronze: between Crawford and Blake, I give the edge to Blake for those huge energizing dunks, plus I think Crawford piled it on once the game was over.
Gold-Everyone except Collison & Barnes. They could be better.
DJ for MVP. He and Mullens did well against Howard. DJ is boxing out. He's using his big Texass. My only comment is those two dumb fouls. Big Six
Clippers Vs. Heat - 2013-11-07
Gold: Blake Griffin - Getting in his rhythm, another double-double with 27 points and 14 rebounds.
Silver: DeAndre Jordan - I like his rebounds so far to start the season, but his defense in this game was suspect.
Bronze: Chris Paul - Struggled to score (probably for the first time this season) but had 12 assists.
Nobody deserves a medal after that game!!!
Nobody is really into giving out medals after a loss especially if we play badly.
I didn't see the game but if your assessment is fair Battlegun then it is a good thing in a way because loss or not we need our "big 3" to perform consistently.
Oh for this years starters and coach combined with last years bench.
Well I'm gonna say...
Gold: BG for leading a furious comeback in the 3rd with jumpers, rebounds and steals. Knocking down a jumper late in the game. +3 for the night.
Silver: JJ for helping lead that comeback. There was a nice two man game going on between he and Blake that might be something to look forward to in the future. +7 for the night.
Bronze: CP3 for being okay, but he doesn't seem to be at his best against Orlando for some reason.
Crawford gave us hope with some big shots. Redick was a vanishing act the second half and one of his shots was one of the worst plays I say in my whole life. Paul s second half was putrid too.
BG and DJ had a good game, overall. Specially Blake.
Everyone else was whatever.
Clippers Vs. Rockets - 2013-11-09
Gold: DeAndre Jordan - Owned the boards again, this time with a double-double; 12 points and 18 rebounds.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Carried the team in the 4th along with Crawford. First time in a long time I've seen him be assertive in the last quarter.
Bronze: Chris Paul - Almost identical game to the Heat; 14 points, 13 assists, and his usual two steals.
Man, what does JJ have to do to get gold? lol
Surely JJ gets in the top3.
DJ Gold.
Redick Silver
BG Bronze.
Cp3 did decent but could have been better. He is a top3 player so I expect more from him.
Gold: Reddick and DJ (tie)
Silver: Blake
Bronze: Jamal
DJ HAS to be in there somewhere, lol. Chris for being ok gets....zinc.
DJ deserves the gold. He is definitely proving that he is part of the big three.
JJ gets silver... he played to win although the 2nd half was once again a lot weaker than the first.
Jamal gets the bronze. He made most of the big shots including the tip in at the buzzer. Those bombs were sick.
CP had a mediocre game (for him) and doesn't get a medal tonight.
By the way, there's been a change in the format. Instead of creating a new thread after each game, I decided to keep it to one continual thread. So just scroll to the bottom to see the most recent game.
^ cool concept but it's a bit confusing trying to differentebetween games. Maybe if you highlight the new games somehow?
Anyways, I think gold has got to go to DJ. In my opinion he outplayed Howard teice in a week, hell of a game.
Silver to redick, his shooting was phenomenal. Bronze to BG. Solid scoring night. Loving the energy!
Hm: Chris Paul, 14 and 13 on an off night, wow.
Dudz had a nice night scoring as well.
I agree with Clipswhit the new format is confusing. Why change a good thing?
Gold - DJ 12pts 18rebs(7off) 4ast 3blks 2stl
Silver - Reddick +22 +/-
Bronze - Griffin&CP3 tied, could have played better but maybe due to foul trouble that they hold back a bit
When do we get Barnes back? I like the idea of giving bullock minutes but he's gone 0/3 3ptFG & -18 +/-
I think he wanted to play last night but Doc kept him out as a precaution so maybe it is soon?
To make it clear which game is being discussed, everyone should post the result of the game they are talking about just above their medals, like this:
Clippers 107 Rockets 94
SILVER: JJ Redick
BRONZE: Jamal
Also, it would be nice to see the score (or at least the opponents, like @GSW) in the gold medal summary!
That's 3 of us saying its confusing Battlegun. Time for a rethink?
Alright, I've added the game titles at the top of my medal posts to make it less confusing for you all.
^Nice one.
Clippers Vs. Timberwolves - 2013-11-09
Gold: Blake Griffin - Dominated like he should have. Even made some clutch free-throws.
Silver: Chris Paul - Even at 21 points, he still could have scored more. Still, another double-double.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - Great shot effiency including an impressive half-court heave.
I liked Matt Barnes. Almost a double double and nice D. Jamal is silver material, IMO. But cant say that Paul stats are not impressive.
Gold: Blake Griffin. Self-explanatory, really.
Silver: Matt Barnes. Had an amazing comeback game.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford, if only for that half court heave.
Yeah I have to agree with this.
Barnes is a good rebounder. He sure would help the starting lineup, but I get it.
This is the way I like to see Matt play...rebounds, defense and cutting to the rim. Cut down those 3's and I'm a happy guy.
Can we give the lakers a bronze for wearing the twolves out?
I wish Doc would've put Blake on Love every possession of the game, he probably would've held him under 15 points. We have an absolutely scary defensive tandem in the front court.
Agree, didn't like DJ on love. It pulled our best rim protector to the 3 point line too often.
I think they switched because Blake did a better job on stabilizing Pekovic and thought DJ's long arms would keep Love from shooting 3's.
Our starting lineup is doing fine we need him badly for our bench which is weak. He fits the bench better anyway with his energy and defense. We need more shooters for the starting lineup.
Clippers Vs. Thunder - 2013-11-13
Gold: Blake Griffin - Flirts with a triple-double; 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists. Also three steals as well.
Silver: Chris Paul - He is currently doing everything for the team except for scoring. Some might argue with this, but 16 assists, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals will definitely get you a silver.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - Made tough shots in the fourth quarter including the dagger three.
Barnes should get a medal, sticking up for Blake gave us some momentum
Gold: Blake (The stateline says it all).
Silver: Chris Paul (Struggled shooting, but was a great distributor)
Bronze: Jamal Crawford (Multiple big shots throughout the game)
Tin: Matt Barnes (For getting Ibaka ejected).
Clippers Vs. Nets - 2013-11-16
Gold: Blake Griffin - Willed the team, easily the best player on the floor.
Silver: J.J. Redick - Great shooting tonight, always the first quarter man.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Another huge rebounding night. Even sealed the deal at the line at the end of the game.
Gold: Blake (30 points, enough said).
Silver: Reddick (The other guy that kept us in the game).
Bronze: DJ (Clutch free throws and tons of rebounds).
JV Soccer "Good job, good effort" trophy: Mullens (for some great shooting to help keep us in the game).
Redick keeps getting close to gold but never wins. He must have the most silver this season
I was a big fan of us getting JJ but even I didn't know he would work so hard! I'm proud of the guy! Hell I was proud of how everybody fought back tonight.
Clippers Vs. Grizzlies - 2013-11-16
Gold: Chris Paul - Despite another bad shooting performance, he nabs a near triple-double.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Very solid game he played. 20-10 once again.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - 16 rebounds ... seems like we've seen this before.
I wouldn't give out any medals after that effort lol.
No one. BG did decent but he was outplayed by Zbo. CP3 had a near triple double but he missed easy looks. DJ had lots of boards but didn't do a great job defensively. Meh.
Clippers Vs. Wolves - 2013-11-20
Gold: Chris Paul - Got to give it to him for his effort down the stretch, including breaking the record.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Adds another 20-10 game under his belt.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - 16 points, right up his average, will get him the bronze.

This Saturday I spent most of the day walking again, but this time there were no genealogical connections. Also for a change it was Surrey not Sussex where I was walking, it wasn't a route of my choice and I wasn't on my own.
My good friend Chris had picked the route and was my walking partner for the day. The weather was perhaps a little too warm, although there was some cloud, but it stayed dry, which it has been more or less for several weeks.
The walk began at Dorking railway station, we followed the A24 north for short while before heading east out onto the hills. Before climbing Box Hill we had to cross the river, there is a footbridge but I never miss the opportunity to cross the river by the stepping stones. It occurred to me that these were the only stepping stones in Sussex or Surrey that I was aware of, but I am sure there must be other examples.
The climb up Box Hill is quite a challenge, it is not as high as Wolstonbury Hill which I climbed nearly two weeks ago, but the ascent is a lot steeper. Most of the path up the hill consists of steps, otherwise it would seem almost impossible to reach the top.
The views from the top of Box Hill are quite spectacular, and well worth the effort. Unfortunately there was still some mist in the distance, but closer to the hill places like Dorking were clearly visible.
From Box Hill the walk continued eastwards and eventually southwards down off the North Downs, towards the village of Brockham. From here we walked east again, to Betchworth (where we stopped at the pub from a drink and a bite to eat).
I was quite impressed by the church at Betchworth, such a beautiful building, I hope I can find an excuse to come back and spend some more time here.
From Betchworth we continued east again, across the tip of Reigate Heath and the golf course (past the windmill) and onto a seemingly tiny place called Skimmington (with a busy pub).
From here we continued, yes you guessed it, eastwards again. Up onto Reigate Park and then down through the streets (of Reigate I guess) towards Earlswood railway station, where we spent a rather dull hour waiting, having just missed the train. To keep myself amused I ending up taking photos of the clouds overhead.
All in all it was a very satisfying walk. From Dorking to Earlswood was about 11½ miles, the majority of which was flat after coming down off the hills. Perhaps the best part for me however was the fact that it was all pretty much new territory to me (after coming down of the hills) so I actually had to use my map reading skills on occasion!

Crawford and Hallie Anderson are known more for their success in the show ring, but the two young horsemen and Aiken residents knew they had to do something for their friend and fellow equestrian Ashlyn Bell, when she sustained serious injuries in a riding accident. However, it was another family member who also became involved when he heard the untoward news about his brother and sisters friend. Loughlin Anderson, doesnt participate in equestrian sport, but is involved in the Boy Scouts, and when he heard of the incident, he took action.
Loughlin, who makes survival bracelets, enlisted the help of his brother and sister, and began making the jewelry made from paracord to be sold to help raise funds in an effort to defray the medical expenses being accumulated by Bell, while she is hospitalized. The siblings paid for the materials to make the bracelets, and all the proceeds from the sales will go to Bell as she recovers from her injuries. But, this type of altruism isnt anything new for Loughlin, who has made the bracelets previously to raise money to benefit the Hitchcock Woods Foundation, said Crawford.
Weve always loved Ashlyn, and we realized she needed help, said Crawford. We thought, what better way to do it, then to have people give donations and get a little bracelet in return. And, if everyone sees the bracelet theyll think of her.
The bracelets are green and blue, Bells favorite color, and its the hope of the Andersons that people will donate, wear the bracelets and show their support.
Hallie typically deals with Ashlyn, much more than I do, because shes a hunter person, said Crawford. Ashlyn has always gone out of her way to be super nice to us. She loves Hallie and Pippin or Matriatchy de Cluis. Shes a big fan of his.
The bracelets are $5 each, but people can donate more, and they are available at the Progressive Show Jumping office, the Show Day Cafe concession or at the Oak Manor Saddlery trailer.

We often hear people say when they walk through our doors, I just want to take all of them home with me! We understand the sentiment, as we bond with each and every animal that comes through our doors.
We also know that most people who say they want them all are just saying that because they feel bad that there are so many homeless pets in the world. They just want each of them to get the kind of permanent home they deserve.
However, for some well-meaning people, they arent actually able to control the number of pets they have in their house. These folks sometimes become animal hoarders.
What exactly is a hoarder? The definition isnt exact, but usually involves someone who takes in a large number of animals and typically isnt able to provide a clean area for them, proper vet care or fresh food and water.
Hoarding is very often a symptom of a greater mental illness, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. For most hoarders, it is likely that their actions are the result of a true pathology, even though they are still usually able to function quite well in society, said Randall Lockwood, HSUS vice president for Research and Educational Outreach.
The thought process behind hoarding usually begins with some logic, actually. Hoarders know that shelters are overcrowded, and, if they come across a cat or dog that is homeless, they know turning it over to animal control doesnt guarantee its adoption. So they find room for it in their home or their backyard, even if they dont really have room and cant afford another mouth to feed.
In my previous life, I ran Meals on Wheels programs in Florida and encountered animal hoarders who were also clients. Ill never forget Mrs. Farr, who passed away a few years ago. She loved cats and always had a few growing up.
By the time I met her, she was in her 70s and was very frail. I noticed a few cats outside her house one day when I was filling in for a vacationing driver.
When I knocked on her door, I was greeted by several more cats inside. She likely had about 30 cats living with her, along with the 10 or so homeless men who rented cots in her house, but that is another story for another time.
As the months passed, I got to know her a little better. I brought her donated cat food and learned more about the cats and how she got them all. Her friends knew she liked cats, so when one had a litter of kittens, one or two would end up at her house.
She considered herself a type of rescue, although she was in no position to feed them, let alone have them spayed or neutered.
She didnt want me to take them to our local shelter and was even scared to have them altered because she was told that it would change their personalities.
A few months later, she called me to tell me she had some sick kittens, and she didnt have the money to have them seen. My vet tech friend and I went over and took four kittens from her home.
One had a severally injured eye from being attacked by one of the other cats on the property. It was very ill and nearly died. Fortunately, the kitten was stabilized, and the eye was removed. The kitten bounced back to health and has been living as a permanent foster in my house for the past 11 years.
Hoarding is often even more than the neighborhood cat lady like Mrs. Farr originally was. Often, these individuals need help from professionals who can help them get their life back in order. If you know of someone like this, please try and get them to seek help.
If they are a senior, your local Council on Aging would be a good place to start. Animal Control can also be a good resource. Additionally, calling the 211 helpline will provide you with resources for them.
You can also call us at 648-6863 to help in any way we can, such as providing affordable spay and neuter to get their numbers of pets under control.
Remember, we all want to save them all, but, in cases like these, sometimes we need to save pets from the people who took on more than they could handle.
Gary Willoughby is the president and CEO of the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare.

Yesterday I posted the newspaper report of the inquest held into the death of Jane GEERING. Today I am going to break it down to provide more detail and explain why the information contained in the report is so important.
An inquest was held on Wednesday at the Terminus Hotel, before L. G. Fullagar, Esq., coroner, touching the death of Jane Gearing, single woman, aged about 76.
The Terminus Hotel was probably the public house at the top of Station Road (now called simply The Terminus), a short distance from Cobden Place and about the same distance again from the common pond. It seems common practice for inquests to be held in public houses.
The fact that her surname is spelt GEARING is perhaps not surprising and not necessarily a problem. At this time Jane was the last of the GEERING family living in Hailsham, and there is no reason to suggest that the exact spelling her surname was known to anyone else in the town.
James Foster stated that he and deceased lived at Cobden-place, Hailsham. Witness last saw her alive on Monday night about half-past nine o'clock when she was going to bed. He noticed nothing particular about her. Witness did not see deceased again until he found her in the common pond dead. She was drawn to the shore by a rake being tied on the end of a pole. Deceased had got so that her landlady (Mrs. Carey) could not bear it any longer, and so asked her to look out for fresh apartments.
It is not clear whether James Foster lived in the same house as Jane. In the 1871 census Jane was living with Walter and Elizabeth Carey at 11 Cobden Place, but there is no sign of a James Foster in Hailsham.
The report suggests that James Foster was the person who discovered Jane's body in the pond, but this is not clear. From his evidence it sounds like he was certainly there when her body was being recovered with a rake on the end of a pole.
I would like to have known what it was that the landlady "could not bear" any longer. Perhaps it was her physical appearance or health referred to later in the inquest in the surgeon's evidence.
Mrs. Elizabeth Carey gave evidence much to the same effect.
Jane's landlady gave evidence, but evidently this confirmed what had previously been said by James Foster.
Mr. James Pymar Billing, surgeon, stated that about half-past nine on Tuesday morning he went to the common pond and saw deceased being taken on a stretcher to a shed close by. Witness directed her to be taken to the Home, where he thoroughly examined her. She had apparently been dead about an hour. There were no external marks upon the body, but she was covered with fleas and vermin, and was in a filthy state. Witness stated that he had not the least doubt that she died from drowning.
The surgeon who examined Jane gives evidence next. His evidence suggests that Jane died about 8:30 on Tuesday morning. He is certain that she drowned, and graphically describes her state, which sounds rather unpleasant, but presumably this was as a result of her normal lifestyle rather than when she drowned.
The use of the word Home (with a capital H) suggests that this wasn't just Jane's home or his home, but rather some specific house, possibly a workhouse which may have served as an infirmary.
Edwin Isaac Baker said he was a bookseller and stationer, and had known deceased all his life. Witness allowed her an annuity of £20, as her brother left him property on that condition. She was a very peculiar woman, and suffered intense pain with her head, and had very weak nerves. Witness saw her on Monday, and she seemed very comfortable.
For me this is the most interesting part. The annuity of £20 explains Jane's occupation (annuitant) on the 1871 census. It is the circumstances of this annuity that are of most interest.
This suggests that after the death of Ann GEERING (Jane's aunt) in 1864 the property passed to at least one of her nephews, possibly John James GEERING, who in turn left it to Edwin Isaac Baker when he died in 1866. As you can see there is a whole website about Edwin Isaac Baker and his photographs, including photos of the inside of his shop.
If this is the case then this effectively provides the proof that I am looking for which links the GEERINGs in Hailsham to the GEERINGs in Lewes. Clearly the will of Ann GEERING is going to be critical to my research, and it also means I need to see if John James GEERING did leave a will.
If that wasn't enough, this also provides further evidence of what became of the GEERINGs shop. Thomas Geering wrote in his book Our Sussex Parish that the shop had been taken over by a bookseller, the newspaper report suggests that this was Edwin Isaac Baker. This agrees with other evidence from maps and photos about the location of the shop.
The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned," but there was no evidence to show how she came into the water.
So ultimately we know Jane drowned, but we don't know how she ended up in the pond. Was it suicide? A tragic accident? Murder? Unfortunately we will probably never know.
One thing that stood out in the report is the timeline of events. It is not immediately clear what happened when, all the references are to days of the week, so it is not really clear which dates they were on. It is crying out for a proper timeline of events.

Formerly our UPS Gnomes, now renamed Root Children Gnome Pair. These gnomes had been working hard in the garden when they saw a truck arrive. Usually they stay away from trucks, but this one was different - it was the same color as our dear gnomes! The smaller gnome, of course, has a brown coat from rolling in the dirt. The larger gnome has a lovely golden coat from working in the gold caverns. But they took an immediate liking to Jose, our favorite UPS guy. After jumping up and down, they caught his attention, and he put them in his pocket (see pictures above and below). Two happier gnomes you will only see when they arrive at your home!
3 1/2" and 3 3/4" Tall. (Measurement is from bottom of gnome to top of its cap. Cap sizes can vary a tiny bit - these are all handmade.) Made in USA exclusively for A Toy Garden.
Please Note: The bodies of these are the larger "Daddy" body and the slightly smaller "Mommy" body. The picture above shows a "Mommy" body and a "Child" body.

The Los Angeles Clippers have contacted the Boston Celtics about a potential trade surrounding Kevin Garnett, according to sources.
The two teams were talking ahead of Sunday's game against each other.
The Clippers' offer could include Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler.
http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/22 ... in-Garnett
i hope this isn't true, what happens to DJ in this scenario?
horrible deal. trading bledsoe and killing chemistry for a rental (assuming kg retires)? no thanks. and if he does stay, his contract is massive
We should give them DJ instead of Bledsoe or Butler in my opinion. If we gave them Bledsoe and Butler, I think that's too much. I think we ask for a 1st rounder or 2 2nd rounders in return.
If this deal went through, KG or Blake starts at the 5 spot, DJ moves to the bench.
btw, if bledsoe gets traded, who backs up cp? crawford? ouch - did we not see what happened to him in portland?
my only thing that scares me about trading DJ is not only is he blake griffins best friend but also it would ruin our team chemistry.
Forget all this best friend bull ish griffin wants to win
KG would make us championship favorites once healthy. I'm dead serious.
Stupid trade. Kg has already talked about retiring, plus he has stated numerous times he wants to retire a Celt. He and Odom truely cannot stand each other.
Desperation move and sure chemistry killer.
I would love to see how this roster plays with a decent coach.
How is this a desperation move or a chemistry killer? KG is a tough but respected veteran, just like Chauncey. His mentality fits in perfectly with the identity of this team. KG's wealth of experience would greatly help BG and DJ grow as players. And who do you really trust more in the playoffs - Hollins/Turiaf or Garnett? Case closed.
KG's talking about retiring because the Celtics suck. We're a contender when healthy. If he wants to be here, why wouldn't he ride out his contract with us?
I'm sorry...what? Bledsoe AND Butler for KG???
Kg has been talking about retiring before the Cetics sucked.
Kg is not joining this team during all that team bonding during the summer or during that 17 game run...he would be joining at a time where the team and coaching are starting to look shaky.
We were elite and being picked by pundits to win it all. My how we have fallen.
His and Odom's dislike for each other goes way beyond competitive play. I wouldn't bet on them bonding that much with questions if the team might have to choose one or the other after half a season.
In a vacuum Kg is a great pickup...unfortunately.
This is my(just my) definition of a desperation move. He would cost us a boatload and do we think boston gonna give us a pick to take their best overall player off their hands?
I know I've already been vocal about needing to trade Bledsoe, but I think this deal makes sense for a lot of reasons. I know that one major qualm many people have with this deal is that a few of our players hate KG, but they would love him as soon as he started playing with them and winning games. The trade deadline is on February 21, and that should be enough time for us to get CP3 and Billups back and we won't have to worry about having to have a back up PG. I think this might be the deal we need to win the championship this year...
Terrible trade , trade VDN for a good team MD /trainer
I think KG would be a nice enough fit...and I don't even mind losing Butler (I've grown weary of my disappointment over his play). We have other small forwards (Barnes, Hill, maybe even Thompkins...unless he's gained some weight). KG is a better all around player now than DJ may ever be, I'm sad to say.
Two problems:
KG is too old to be considered any sort of long term answer. Sure, winning a championship now would be great. But this team has potential to win in the future.
We would definitely have to sign SOMEBODY as back up point guard. I would miss Bledsoe's steals and rebounding.
KG has a no trade clause, I doubt it happens.
Also, KG and Chauncey are best friends. KG is Chauncey's son's godfather. Remind me again of how there'd be chemistry issues?
Yes please.
Because Chauncey can't pass KG the ball from the bench?
Just go back and read what I typed. One player does not a team make.
I would have more faith if the guy actually suited up once in a while. Stupid trade IMO
Once again, Kg has a no trade clause. He wants to retire a celtic. Wont happen. Id love for it to happen, but it won't
KG does live in L.A. you just never know.
If i was him i would want out specially with rondo out.
although id love garnett here, no way is he worth ebled and butler. another downside is that this team will keep getting older. i dont want the clips to suddenly become older than the flakers. no way. id love to add another shooter. kyle korver or jj reddick would fit here. but i think we could add korver without giving up too much.
I say we do it **** it. What is the worse that can happen? I have seen to many things of late that scare me and has made me realize we can't win a championship with the team we currently have. TOO MANY TIMES in offensive possessions NOTHING HAPPENS. Not only do we not score, but we are going back to bad habits of not even getting shots off, turning it over...horrible passes...bricks... it almost seems like we are folding under pressure or whenever a team turns it up on D. In the playoffs when a team turns it up on D we seem to choke (see series against the Sorry ass Spurs last year). If Chris Paul does not have it going we stand no chance and Eric Bledsoe has showed us the last couple of weeks he is not ready to lead a team.
He does not have the discipline of a Chris Paul even though he has his moments.
I would trade DJ and Bledsoe for Garnett and some bum who can shoot...
or Bledsoe and Caron for Garnett ..and then get some bum who can shoot...
That is all we need. We are more a complete team with the acquisition of Garnett and a generic shooter from the NBDL or something than with Caron Butler and Eric Bledsoe.
Think about it... would you guys rather have Caron and Bledsoe (neither of which really get as much PT as they would get on other teams, and we under utilize both of them night in night out) than Garnett?
Garnett is a knock down shooter and has a great all around offensive game in and out of the box that would make up for whatever shots Caron would make.
I SAY DO IT. But first? Consult Chris Paul
Er- Garnett is great, but if you include Bledsoe - who's going to run the second unit? Who's going to run the first unit when CP3 goes down again? And the team already doesn't have that many 3 point threats- trade away one of our best 3 point shooters in Caron and we'd be even more unbalanced. This would be a very bad trade for the Clippers.
^ yup. thats why a trade for korver or reddick would make more sense.
^^I agree- Grant Hill for one of those guys would be great. But that would be messed up since we convinced Grant to sign here. Reddick especially would be great alongside Crawford in the second unit. Not sure who would we give up though? Willie Green + Trey Thompkins plus a future lotto-protected first?
Good point. I really dont like Grant Hill running the offense. I cringe everytime I see it I feel like changing the channel. Matt Barnes has been shooting horrible and Willie Green too so I mean you are right. We need some damn shooters. If your the opposing team why wouldnt you double Blake if you know no one can knock down a jumper?
^^Yeah I'm just so tired of these bad shots and turnovers leading to the other team running out- it's like role-reversal lately vs what we've seen the Clipper second unit b4 CP3 went down. If the second unit can execute better offensively and not force these risky passes, then you can calmly setup the defense, and I still think the second unit defense in the half court is pretty decent even w/o E-Bled.
i would definately consider this trade
agreed. Kevin Garnett is close to 37. His salary is somehwere around 11-12 million per year. If we trade Bledsoe we better get a young shooting guard or small forward and something in addition. Butler and Bledsoe for Garnett is a bad move for us. We could get a killing for Bledsoe
Celtics seem to be in need of a fresh center...DJ fits their need perfectly. We can throw in Butler and get Courtney Lee back since the Celtics are full of natural SGs. That trade would make a lot of sense for both teams!
Let's shoot our selves in the foot and get rid of our only uninjured PG,,,,for another forward,,makes a lot of sense,,likes like we are reverting to the Dumbleavy days
Does Boston even NEED a PG? Seems like they play better "team" basketball without him.
If we do bledsoe and dj, we'd need to get back Avery Bradley and KG, maybe even a pick
this is what I'm worried about. Kevin Garnetts salary is huge, and not only are we taking it on in this trade but we would be giving them a young point guard on a rookie contract, very , very bad move for us. If you are reading this DTS please dont make this trade
How does this help us defend the three at all?
I'm all for the KG trade if the Clippers don't have to lose DJ because obviously DJ is the future along with Blake and CP3. I'm a big Bledsoe fan but I don't think Bledsoe will re-sign in the future. The Clippers don't have to make this trade just yet because there is still time until Bledsoe is a free agent but KG for Bledsoe and Butler sounds like a descent deal. Blake and DJ will learn a great deal from KG not to mention that KG will bring that intense defensive energy along with that veteran voice and playoff experience.
And remember this ain't fantasy basketball,,you do a trade like this it can haunt us for years,,losing our PG for a rental forward we don't need and maybe cost us a CP3 because of salaries. To me it sounds like the FO, which isn't really responsible for anything involving this team right now (face it, you all KNOW CP3 and company picked this team) wants to try and make a mark and they have no idea really what they are doing or what our needs really are now. If you want someone,,use that 15th person slot and get what we need.
Everybody being negative about this particular trade especially because the Clippers will be losing Bledsoe in a time when the Clippers have CP3 and Billups injured... But would you guys maybe pull the trigger on this trade if the trade involved Kevin Garnett and Avery Bradley for Caron Butler, Bledsoe, and Ryan Hollins, Ronny Turiaf, or Trey Thompkins???
By the way, KG's contract will only be for this season and next season because the final year is not guaranteed...
Why!? Don't trade our second units especally with all of our PG's gone. And plus if we trade Bledsoe, we won't have dynamic change of speed that this team is best at. It's just slow down the team and give other teams, the same look. I won't do it.
Is it just me or wouldn't Paul Pierce be a better fit for us?
Yep...when you let the 26th ranked 3pt team (33.6%) shoot 61% from the 3pt land, the center position is NOT your problem.
Yes, we need a starting sg or sf and some who can defend the 3.
Jimmy Butler seems like he can definitely help
I would move anyone but Chris Paul/ Blake or Jamal Crawford if it meant getting Paul Pierce AND Garnett
Hope we do not make any hasty moves now.
I would rather have Paul Pierce. But his status in Boston would make it harder to acquire him and would take more than Butler and Bledsoe to get him. We badly need a consistent threat at one of the wing positions. Butler is just way past his prime and he's younger than Pierce, but Pierce is clearly the superior player.
There you Go VDN, get another old player. The trend is get old smart players that can play without set plays to cover the lack of a system or person that can implement a system.
You know, I cringed when I first read this, because I thought it would leave too big a hole at the 1, but thinking about it more, I think it would actually be a good move. DJ moves to the second unit and Garnett starts. Barnes or Grant Hill move to starting SF. When Chauncey and CP3 are back, they both start, but Chauncey comes out earlier, replaced by Crawford. You leave CP3 in a little longer to run the show, then sub Chauncey back in to run the second unit. The times they're both sitting, Crawford, Hill, even Lamar can bring the ball up for small stretches.
Garnett would give great defense (instead of trying to block everything and getting out of position), PLUS legitimate scoring beyond dunks and put-backs. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think it would be a HUGE improvement over the team as constructed, and I already thought we were contenders. DO IT Sacks!
Trade for Garnett/Bradley for Butler/Bledsoe won't work $ wise unless the Clipps add a player, someone like Hollins or Rony not a big thing.
I heard a rumor that the trade would be for Garnett, Bradley and Lee (that's a better deal), but it would need DJ involved to make the $ work.

The first Saturday in May is special to horse racing fans because the Kentucky Derby is run then. But for Aiken County residents who love plants, the first Saturday in May means it's time for the Spring Herb Faire at Pascalina, a historic home in Montmorenci.
The Herb Faire is scheduled this year for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 4.
"We want to provide a place where people can be outside and get away from their TVs and cell phones," said Linda Oswald, whose parents, Jackie and Earl Heath, own Pascalina. "We also hope we are going to broaden people's awareness and appreciation of locally produced useful products."
Nearly 30 vendors are expected to participate in the Herb Faire, according to Oswald. Among those new to the event will be Rocky Oswald, who will offer hand-built, one-man wooden boats; Charlie Burgess, who collects and reconditions antique cast iron cookware; and Susan Scoggins, who creates keepsakes from flowers and herbs.
Other products for sale will include local goat cheese and honey, goat milk soaps and lotions, pottery and stone-ground grits and cornmeal.
Rosemary, oregano and thyme will be among the fresh and/or dried herbs available for purchase.
"We have the basics, but we also try to offer herbs that people can't just go anywhere and find," Linda Oswald said. "Along with regular basil, you might find six or eight different other kinds of basil here. We'll have stevia, which is used as a sweetener."
For people who aren't sure what they want to buy, "we will have little bundles of fresh herbs," Oswald said. "They can take them home and kind of experiment with them to decide if they want to go through the trouble of growing them. We'll also have little bundles of dried herbs that people can throw into a pot of soup or a pot of spaghetti."
Pascalina has been home to the Heaths since 1964. An asparagus plantation used to be located on the surrounding property.
Cyril Pascalis, a civil engineer, formerly owned Pascalina. In the 1800s prior to the Civil War, he helped survey the route of the railroad between Hamburg and Charleston. He also was involved in surveying and laying out the streets of Aiken. During the Civil War, Pascalina served as a headquarters for Union officers as troops made their way to the coast.
In addition to the Spring Herb Faire on the first Saturday in May, Pascalina hosts another Herb Faire on the last Saturday in September each year. The Spring Herb Faire is usually the larger of the two events, attracting as many as 1,200 people, Oswald estimated.
Pascalina offered its first herb-related function in 1999.
"My mom and her friends had a little herb group and it was kind of way to share information and sell herbs," Oswald said. "There were about five different people selling herbs and herb products. Then, over the years, they saw the interest in it grow and they kept on doing it. My brother, Mike Heath, and I joined in with our mom and dad on the farm part of it. That opened up the opportunity even more for people to get to see the farm and see the where the things they are buying from us are growing."
Pascalina's address is 3250 Charleston Highway (Highway 78).
For more information about the Spring Herb Faire, call Oswald at 803-646-3774. There is no cost to attend the event.
Oswald said anyone attending the Spring Herb Fair will be able to sign up to receive email notifications about what vegetables, herbs and cut flowers are available during Pascalina's growing seasons.

Clippers look more tired than the Jazz tonight.
Yeah, and that second night of a back-to-back doesn't seem to be bothering them too much. That's pretty much only an impossible challenge for us, apparently.
DJ get his ass damn
Not getting offensive rebounds is going to kill the Clips. Ugh.
Barnes should've passed to Blake there. Instead he misses another layup smh
No scheduling excuses, please.... we are just playing down to competition again.
They did not come off a long road trip as well.
Clips scored this much in one quarter
Matt hasn't been really consistent in finishing at the basket. I wonder if his thumb injury is still bothering him.
DJ having his annual huge second half of season drop a few weeks early. He's been a scrub lately. I don't care if he rebounds he's getting obliterated by everybody he guards and showing the worst rim protection I've ever seen. I'd consider bringing him off the bench and starting Hedo/Blake for a while.
Jazz only shooting 41%, that's good...but they've made 6 3's we've made 0. FT line killing us too.
He just had 20 rebounds a night ago. Last year we'd be ranting and raving about a 20 rebound game, and now it's not even mentioned. Realize that DJ has been excellent on defense 80% of the time, and unfocused 20%. He rotates exceedingly well, however when the rest of the team does not, you end up dropping the blame on him. Unfair and stupid.
The Clips need CP ASAP. The floor general has fresh legs so at least that's a plus going forward.
We still don't rotate well.
Actually DJ is well below average in individual rim defense and if you can't admit his drop on D the last two weeks I'm not sure you're watching much. Not only is it proven by numbers but anybody watching sees it. DJ has ZERO business cheating 15 feet off his man EVER and he does it 15 times a game. How often do you see Hibbert at the 3 point line as his man gets a dunk with nobody within 10 feet of him?
Bad perimeter D or not DJ's is to protect the paint, nothing else. Blake is far superior at switches and PNR traps, let him handle it.
Defense>>>>>>>rebounding for a center that's supposed to be anchoring the D.
I see a 4-game losing streak on the horizon playing like this. Already lost to the Warriors, and the Nuggets (in Denver) and Heat are coming up. Looking forward to the excuses about how "tired" they are like the grind of an NBA schedule is not something that every team has to deal with.
DJ reaction timing seems as though it's gotten slower.
DJ nice tip-in!
Blake leads the break and dishes to Collison for the layup!
Have you seen Blake try to protect the paint? He doesn't. I agree with your point that DJ 1) cheats too much, and 2) Has become less effective on the defensive (and offensive) end in the past stretch, but in no way should we slot Blake at the 5 and Hedo at the 4. DJ is trying to shore up one of the most pock-ridden paint defenses in the league. And I agree, he's not trying hard enough.
You would complain either way when he rotates to alter or stop someone his man is left open NO ONE HELPS and then he is being destroyed if he sticks to his man easy buckets why is he not helping when the rim is being attacked.
I want him to focus on his rebounding and man d I'm happy with the help d.
wont surprise me
lets be frank outside of blakes mvp numbers this is a very ordinary and streaky team
Finally our first bingo!
Collison hits the Clippers' first bingo, and then passes to Matt for the slam dunk!
Alright, Matt! Nice dunk!!!
Game is closer than it should be but the team has to dig in and pull this one out.
Barnes very active right now.
Icecold I agree it's a team problem but he's supposed to be the anchor/leader of the D.
Clippers seem energized all of a sudden, ever since their first bingo by Collison. I hope they continue!
Time to try to pull away a bit and get a nice lead going into the 4th.
Blake 2nd effort!
Matt's been really active. Makes up for the earlier plays, lol.
That was nasty pure nasty reverse.
Woot!! Crawford lob to Griffin jam!! Okay, now we're cookin'!!! This is more like it!!!
A little late to the party but what is up with Blake's foul shooting?
He has had some bad lapses I just believe its not a horrible choke streak. He was pretty damn important in the Wiz win even last year it wasn't really being horrible in the regular season just Vinny having more faith in Odom.
I feel the D could be even worse if he had not improved a leap I think as a team Doc needs to continue to pound a defensive mindset into everyone.
Jamal converts the and-1, lead is now 10!
Another of Jamal's and-1 plays! Up by 10!!!
Much better energy at the moment.
DJ a vicious dunk along the baseline!
DJ slam looked awesome!
Seems more often than not whenever he rotates a kick off happens. I rather he sticks to his man because most of the time the opposing C has a jumper.
Crawford smooth jumper to stretch it to 12!
Crawford is fouled at the 3-point line, lol. He really has that uncanny knack for this.
Jamal draws 3 FTAs- good job!
Crawford has been a monster this season even when in slumps he has come out blazing when back on.
Offensive rebounds are still a problem for the Clips, leading easy baskets for the Jazz. Ugh. I hope our team get this straightened out soon.

text: We recently moved to Key West and stayed in Pineapple Cottage for our first month on the island while we searched for our more permanent home. We loved this home and would have stayed here permanently if we could! The setup was great for us as a couple but could also work great for a group of friends or a family trip. The home appears very recently remodeled with a nice large kitchen, and a beautiful master bedroom/bathroom, along with two living spaces on the first floor. The upstairs has two additional bedrooms and a full bath. We made great use of the outdoor space for grilling and entertaining by the pool. The house is perfectly equipped to be your "home away from home". I know that anyone who stays here will enjoy it as much as we did. – Anthony, Washington,DC now Key West

Durango resident Dawson Reed Kilpatrick died Sunday, March 3, 2013, after a short stay at Four Corners Health Care Center in Durango. He was 94.
Known as �Bud,� he was born to George and Bessie Kilpatrick on Oct. 6, 1918, on the family farm in Lincoln County, Tenn. He spent his childhood working with his family on farms in Abilene, Texas, and Chandler, Ariz. In his late teens, he moved to Tucson, Ariz., to work with his older brother on golf courses as well as grounds maintenance for the heiress to the Grace Steamship Lines.
In 1939, he met and married Deanne Lively, in Tucson.
Prior to entering the Army during World War II, Mr. Kilpatrick worked for Consolidated-Vultee Aircraft finishing and modifying B-24 bombers. During the war, Mr. Kilpatrick was a supply sergeant with the Army Air Corps at a base in Topeka, Kan.
After his discharge from the Army in 1946, he and his young family settled in Independence, Calif., where he worked at and later owned a Chevron gas station.
The eastern High Sierra community provided ample opportunities for him to enjoy his hobbies of trout fishing, bird hunting and searching for arrowheads.
Upon retiring in 1978, Mr. Kilpatrick and his wife traveled extensively throughout the United States before settling in Durango during the summer and Yuma, Ariz., for the winter.
After several years in Durango, the couple decided to return to Arizona to enjoy the warmer climate. They lived in Dewey, south of Prescott, for 25 years. After Mr. Kilpatrick suffered injuries in a car accident, they moved back to Durango to live with their son and daughter-in-law, James �Mick� Kilpatrick and Ruth Katzin.
Mr. Kilpatrick was preceded in death by his son Timothy Kilpatrick in 2012.
He is survived by his wife of 73 years, Deanne Kilpatrick, of Durango; son James �Mick� Kilpatrick of Durango; three grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; four stepgrandchildren; nine great-stepgrandchildren; and one great-great-stepgrandchild.
No services are planned.
In lieu of flowers, please share memories and kind thoughts with his wife, Deanne Kilpatrick, 21 Maple Drive, Durango, CO 81301.

Still quiet with Reds, Ludwick
I wish I have some massive scoops about the Reds for you…but nothing doing at the moment. Here's what I can tell you:
The Reds are still talking to Ryan Ludwick but haven't gotten any closer, it appears. General manager Walt Jocketty spoke to Ludwick's agent again Wednesday and also directly to Ludwick.
"We're still a little ways apart. I hope we get something resolved," Jocketty said.
*There has been no traction gained on the search for a leadoff hitter. There was some hallway speculation that the Reds were talking to the Rockies about Dexter Fowler, but that was shot down by Jocketty.
*The Reds are one of a few clubs talking with former Indians infielder Jack Hannahan. If the Reds got the free agent Hannahan, it would be for a utility role.
"The last two days have been really slow," Jocketty said.
*There is a chance the Reds could take someone in the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday but an even better chance the player or players they want will be off the board. Cincinnati has the second-to-last selection.

They have different stories to tell, but they all have one thing in common. They have lost at least one loved one to suicide.
On the second Tuesday of each month, they gather in the wood-paneled conference room at Mental Health America of Aiken County on Pendleton Street. For the members of the Survivors of Suicide Loss Support Group, it's a time to laugh, cry, vent and remember.
"We can come and feel comfortable talking about what's on our mind because we know that the people here can relate," said a man who attended the support group's meeting on Oct. 8.
His son committed suicide and so did a nephew. They both have been dead for less than a year.
Walking past the closed door of the bedroom where his son died still makes the man sad, and it frustrates him when friends and acquaintances don't understand the depth of his grief.
"They're like, 'It's been eight months; It's time to move on,'" he said. "They've never experienced devastation, so they don't know how I feel."
There have been days when the man has cried uncontrollably and forgotten to do routine things like brush his teeth. His memories of the tragedy remain vivid, but his son's last words, "I love you, daddy," provide him with some comfort.
Another man, whose daughter committed suicide, thought she was his most levelheaded child and was surprised when she took her own life.
"She was the last person you would expect to do something like that," he said. "She was bright and effervescent. I still wonder about what the signs were that we missed."
A man whose son died three years ago offered some suggestions about how people should act around the parents of suicide victims.
"I would rather somebody touch my shoulder or just say, 'I don't know what to say,'" he said. "You don't have to say something, just be there. Don't compare my son to the pet dog that you lost."
Keith Asbill, who lives in Gilbert, is the support group's facilitator. He got involved with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention following his brother's suicide in 2009 and has been trained by the organization to lead and guide discussions about such tragedies.
Typically, at a support-group meeting, "we let everybody introduce themselves, say who they lost and talk a little bit about how it is affecting them," Asbill said. "Then we let the conversation flow around the room. There isn't a time limit on anything. When there is silence, I ask a question to someone that I'm comfortable asking it to, and that gets the conversation flowing again. Everything is confidential. We don't talk about each other outside the group, so this is a safe haven."
Lisa Tindal, executive director of Mental Health America of Aiken County, regularly attends the support group's meetings, which begin at 6:30 p.m. and last 1½ hours.
"The first time I came and sat next to someone who had lost a loved one, I knew that we could never not have this group," she said. "I was so impacted by the stories that I want to do everything that I can to prevent someone from being in that much pain."
For more information about the support group, call Mental Health America of Aiken County at 803-641-4164.

The PaperTab flexible tablet splits a tablet's windows into separate sheets of electronic paper. Developed at the Human Media Lab of Canada's Queen's University in collaboration with Plastic Logic and Intel Labs, the conceptual device should probably be called PaperWindow, since each sheet serves as an app window.
The device runs on the Intel Core i5 processor and is based on flexible plastic transistor technology and 10.7-inch display touchscreen technology developed by Plastic Logic, a company known for its research in plastic transistors and flexible displays. (We've discussed this company before.)
Instead of cramming separate windows on to a single small display, the PaperTab system spreads them out on a physical desk. In a video demonstrating the conceptual device, the displays appear to plug into a box under the desk. Users can have 10 or more "interactive displays," or one per app in active use, that communicate with each other and transmit data through an undefined medium. The idea is to make it easier to work with multiple documents and multiple apps.
The process is similar to opening a window on a regular tablet or notebook PC. When the user picks up a PaperTab, it switches to a full-screen page view. Moving it farther away makes it revert to a thumbnail overview of a document, and when it's beyond reaching distance, it displays icons. Users can navigate through multiple pages within a single PaperTab document by bending one side of the display: one side for forward, the other for backward. Users can also place two or more PaperTabs next to each other to form a larger drawing or display surface, edit its contents, or enter data.
The video shows someone using two PaperTab: one blank and one showing PDF icons. The user hits an icon on one PaperTab with the blank PaperTab to open a particular document. To open an email, the user hits the email inbox on one PaperTab with an empty PaperTab, which is then bent to open a reply window. The user writes on the reply window with a touchscreen keyboard. The user can also create a larger view of a drawing by placing two PaperTabs side by side and then dragging an image from one to the other.

Last year wasn't particularly ground breaking in terms of my family history. It is hard to bring to mind any major discoveries, I'm sure there were a few mysteries solved and gaps filled in but nothing memorable stands out.
This year I don't expect a lot to change, time is still going to be a limiting factor and I suspect money will become more of an issue this year as well, so in general it needs to be a case of making the most of the resources I have already available to me.
I do want to get out to more archives and record offices this year and in light of the previous paragraph, I need to be making the most of these opportunities by making sure I am more organised about what I want to achieve.
I don't actually see myself growing my family tree to any great extent this year, but rather adding to what I already have. Specifically I have become more interested in recent generations (my grandparents and great-grandparents) and feel I should be learning more about these generations whilst those that knew them are still around.
There is always plenty of housekeeping to be done on my family history, generally I consider my database to be in pretty good order, but there is always something that needs doing (like attaching photos to my family tree) and one big task this year will be to update all my 1911 census images with the unredacted versions and note any disabilities that come to light on my database.
There should hopefully be a couple of new collections coming out this year from Ancestry and Findmypast which will prove interesting and helpful for my research and should give me something to look forward to. Talking of things to look forward to there is of course Who Do You Think You Are Live in a couple of months, which I really ought to be preparing for now.

Hundreds of people joined the �paisley parade� Saturday afternoon in a procession in memory of Peter Carver, who died Feb. 2 in an avalanche near Silverton Mountain Ski Area.
In the style of a New Orleans jazz funeral, the Hill Stompers from Los Alamos, N.M., led the procession from Carver Brewing Co. north on Main Avenue, then west down 12th Street to Durango Discovery Museum. The jazzy street band is known for its colorful and �crazy� costumes, which were matched by some similar wild outfits in the procession.
In addition to the several hundred people in the procession, additional friends and family went straight to the museum. There were so many people attending that well-wishers hardly could fit into the museum.
Many of the marchers wore red or blue paisley bandanas in the parade and during the remembrance at the museum because Peter �had his trusty bandana� on his various adventures, said Mike Hurst, a Carver partner and friend.
�We lost one of our own,� Peter�s father, Bill Carver said before the procession began. �It�s very reflective of Peter.�
One of the participants helping lead the procession was Chris Johnson, who was Peter�s boss when he worked in the �gas patch.�
He said Peter arrived in the field as �kind of an unfocused kid,� but left about a year later focused on a career in geology, determined to improve environmental effectiveness in the field.
�It�s a hard day,� said Dave Cuntz, known as Chef Dave at Carver Brewing Co. �I knew Peter as a baby. ... He had a great spirit about him.�
Peter�s uncle, Jim Carver, said he was touched by the outpouring of love and support for the family. The family got to hear stories about Peter from his many friends.
Jim Carver said that Peter�s friends said, �I never heard a bad word about Peter.� Peter�s love of adventure and positive spirit are reflective of his caring extended family, he said.
At the museum, some guests contributed to a fund for the proposed Peter Carver Memorial Forest at Chapman Hill. A sign for the project said the tree planting would be part of the Chapman Bike Park project in cooperation with the city of Durango and Trails 2000.
Peter Carver was an avid bicyclist, as well as a skier and kayaker, among other sports.
According to the sign, the forest would provide erosion control, summer shade and increased snow retention.

As if walking the North Downs Way wasn't enough, I have started walking the South Downs Way (SDW) as well. I say started, but I don't know when I shall finish, or indeed when I shall walk the next part, but I have at least made a start.
The photo above shows the start (or end) of the SDW, in Eastbourne, East Sussex. It is right on the western edge of the town, and is about 1½ miles from the railway station mainly through residential streets.
I have decided to do this walk alone, in fact it was partly the solitude and time to think that I wanted to experience and was my reason for starting today. It also means that I can go at my own speed and stop at places of interest on the way, without having to worry about inconveniencing anyone else. I know that when I get further west I will be in ancestral territory and my pace will no doubt slow down dramatically.
This first section was according to the guide book 7½ miles, from Eastbourne to Exceat, by way of Beachy Head, Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters. I have been to all these places before, but have never walked them all in one go.
There is so much history in this landscape. From prehistory to the Second World War. The cliff top at Beachy Head is littered with monuments and other features that attest to this rich history.
My pace today wasn't particularly fast, partly because I haven't done much serious walking yet this year, but mainly because I kept stopping the take photos. I had forgotten how beautiful and striking the landscape was. The photo below is of one of the most striking features, Beachy Head lighthouse.
Birling Gap is a small group of buildings that have gathered around an access point to the beach. The buildings are gradually disappearing into the sea as the cliffs slowly erode, but whilst they remain they act as a honey pot to tourists and visitors to the coast.
Heading west from Birling Gap are the Seven Sisters, a range of cliffs with which I have something of a love-hate relationship. I love the challenge of tackling the rise and fall of the hills, and admire the fabulous views, but once I get started I usually regret it, when my legs start to complain. Every year they seem to get steeper!
The best views are of course not from the Sisters themselves, but from Birling Gap (shown above) or Seaford Head (on the far left of the photo). It is possible (although I am not sure that it is advisable) at low tide to walk along the foot of the cliffs.
Last year after my holiday in South Devon I thought that the Sussex coastline was quite dull in comparison to that of South Devon, but today I have changed my mind. I think I have definitely fallen in love with chalk!

Who does the ranking is anybody�s guess, but anniversaries come with preferred gifts of paper, wood, silver or gold, based on how many years of togetherness a couple can claim.
For Dwight and Katherine Burgess, the recommended gift was rubies for their 40 years of marriage. The couple celebrated Dec. 28 at the Four Leaves Winery with a bevy of friends they�ve made from their involvement in a variety of local organizations such as the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango, Rotary Club of Durango (he�s a past president) and Durango Chapter of the American Association of University Women (she�s the current president).
Theirs was a more, shall we say, exotic courtship than most. They met while both were working for the CIA, he in Tanzania and she in Kenya, when he came to Nairobi for some dental care. While it wasn�t necessarily love at first sight, they ran into each other again while back in Washington, D.C., and three months later tied the knot before heading off to a joint posting to Tunisia.
It became a life of adventure on the �Dark Continent,� until they moved to Dallas, where she became a travel agent and returned to college to earn her doctorate in the humanities, and Dwight Burgess returned to Africa on and off as a contract worker for the CIA.
And then Guillain-Barre syndrome struck him, leading to a dramatic air transport to London and several years of treatment to overcome most of the symptoms, which include paralysis, unsteady gait and breathing and swallowing difficulties. It�s incredibly rare, with only 0.001 percent of the population diagnosed with the autoimmune disease.
Looking back, Katherine Burgess said marriage is like �a roll of the dice.� There�s just no way to really know how well it�s going to work when walking down the aisle. She�s glad to know her roll turned up aces, if that�s not too much of a mixed metaphor.
The party was low key and convivial � just what guests needed at the end of the holiday season. And it was a reminder of the amazing cross section of people who have elected to make Durango the place to spend their golden years, and of the talents they have.
Many more healthy and happy years, Dwight and Katherine.
Happy Capricorn birthday greetings go to Tami Bradshaw, Garrett Moore, Paige Moore, Wyatt Moore, Mark Ugai, Chelsea Wendland, Isabelle Washburn, Terry Clark, Megan Shacklett, Marissa Campano, Joan Duncan, Mark Ugai, Melissa Cooksey, Eric Schadt, Caleb Anderson, Jim Ruetschle, Robb Bourdon, Zane Bourdon, Jasmine McCoy, Sydney McCoy, Ben Root, Ken Marshall, Jennifer Schadt, Ruth Shock, Mitchell Serwe, Harold Sparks, Alfred Rudolph, Carol Warren, Sara Rolph, Don Brown, Joyce Boyer, Jack Schuba, Scattie McGrath, Niall Byers, Sonja Bayley, George Spicer, Jon Powell and Martie Anderson.
Extra greetings go to three of my favorite ladies � Mary Orsini, Nancy Conrad and Virginia Miller Cavanagh.
Briggen Wrinkle has had a busy few months as the new executive director of the Community Foundation Serving Southwest Colorado. She announced at her first public function in September that she was looking for four new board members, an important and time-consuming task when you want a working board.
And now they are on board. The newbies are Mike Hudson, a consultant and volunteer with the Boulder Foundation; Greg Riley, a gas and oil operator and rancher in Ignacio; June Russell, a certified public accountant, who recently moved here from Hawaii; and Melissa Zureich, executive vice president at First National Bank of Durango.
Christi Zeller, who has served on the board for the last year, has been elected to the position of vice president of the board.
I used to think the important number regarding the foundation was the value of the assets it administers. And while that number matters, there are others that matter so much more.
In 2011, while keeping operating costs at 8 percent of income, the foundation granted $1.3 million in the five counties it serves � $400,000 in grants, $354,000 in scholarships and $561,000 to support programs.
It provides a fiscal sponsorship for about 25 nonprofits that gives them 501(c)3 benefits with the Internal Revenue Service, ranging from Dumpster Beautification to Durango Friends of the Arts, Regional Substance Abuse Prevention and Women�s Health Coalition.
On the donor-advised fund side, for those who want philanthropy to be a sustainable effort, there are about 30 funds administered by the foundation. One of these funds can be started for as little as $2,500, so there�s no need to be �berwealthy.
Tim Walsworth, former president and CEO of United Way of Southwest Colorado, likened the organization to the community�s checkbook, while the foundation is its savings account. A large number of local nonprofits, almost 70, have �savings accounts,� or endowment funds, with the foundation, including the Adaptive Sports Association, Boys and Girls Club of La Plata County, Trails 2000 and the Women�s Resource Center. (Just to give you an idea about the wide variety of organizations who have created funds with the foundation.)
New in 2012 was the Cornerstone Fund, an unrestricted fund created to support the ongoing overhead of the foundation and replenish its community grants fund. It�s not the sexiest giving, but keeping the lights turned on is perhaps one of the most vital ways to help an organization whose mission you support.
If 2013 is the year for you to start your family�s or your organization�s fund with the foundation, call Wrinkle at 375-5807 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Rock �n� roll has been the soundtrack of my generation, so you can imagine my interest in �A Perspective on the Evolution and Legacy of Rock Music and its Impact on American Generations,� which former Los Angeles broadcaster Bob Griffith will present at 6 p.m. Friday at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango.
Griffith, who has spent more than 30 years in radio station operation and management, has had a front-row seat for much of rock�s history. He�ll have some fun with it, I�m sure, but he�ll be taking a serious look as well.
One of the questions he�ll be asking is �Did this genre of music lead or follow American culture from the late 20th century through to today?� The music, the lifestyle changes, the characters and the tragedies that gave many young Americans their first taste of mortality are all included in his program.
The presentation is free. The fellowship is located at 419 San Juan Drive, southwest of Needham Elementary School.
Trying to stay warm in front of a roaring fire during this bitter cold for their anniversaries are Charlie and Martha Diehl, Warren and Marilyn Holland, Winston and Mary Marugg and Coy and Niki Bryant.
Here�s how to reach me: email@example.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items.
I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high-quality, high-resolution photos (at least 1 MB of memory) and include no more than three to five people. I need to know who�s who, left to right, and who to credit with the photo.

Ewwww! Why are we looking at Ben Gordon? And why are we looking to lock him up for 2 years? Hopefully it's not because Doc knows JJ won't be back this season. That's all I can think of.
^ I second that "Ewwww!".
I am fine with Gordon at the minimum. I remember him playing very good against the Celtics in the playoffs for a couple of series. Doc appears to like guys that played well against his team, Mullens, Turk, Gordon.
Doc is over infatuated with shooters. I think he's done a great job thus far, but I dunno about Gordon. He's not a catch and shoot guy and we already have a ball dominant PG, in addition to a ball dominant SG (Crawford) coming off the bench.
I'm not a huge fan of Gordon either, but I'd imagine he'd be signed as insurance for JJ, not out of an "over-infatuation with shooters."
Ewwww! Why are we looking at Ben Gordon? And why are we looking to lock him up for 2 years? Hopefully it's not because Doc knows JJ won't be back this season. That's all I can think of.
Yeah, that is a little scary. And the second year is a team option so its not really 2 years.
Let me see, we had Jamison, Mullens and Vujacic on our team. We have 3 empty slots now and have replaced or will potentially replace them with Big Baby, Granger and Ben Gordon. Yet, some people don't want to pick them up? I'm glad some of you aren't our GM. lol
Gordon is terrible. He's a guy who is supposed to guy overcome his bad defense with scoring, but he has both bad shooting numbers and a high turnover rate.
IF we are really considering Gordon, doesn't that suggest there may be something seriously wrong with JJ - ie he will not play this season.
Or that Doc wants Jamal to go to bench while JJ is out.
To be honest I don't mind Gordon, with Jamal and JJ down we really need a filler and anyways we wouldn't expect to much from him because CP and BG will be there, but our number 1 priority should be netting Granger, praying like hell we get this guy
I'd rather sign Granger and then bring in World Peace for toughness on D.
Hmmm- not sure about Ben Gordon as he has shot terribly this season. I can't imagine that he'd do better than Willie Green.
WTF?! Ben Gordon is a massive turd. At this point he is the Mullens of SGs. Even Willie Green is like 2x better. He can't guard a garbage can and chucks a lot but bricks everything.
Hopefully Gordon decides to go back to the Bulls so we can "settle" for Metta.
We saw what happened with shooters from Charlotte - Byron Mullens. No just no to Gordon. Rather bring back Vujacis which is likely
Dammit, see what happened when Redick turned into Billups 2.0. No we're looking at this chucker. Get well soon jj. Like real soon
Gordon is a tad bit better than you guys are saying. He's sort of a low-rent Jamal.
Have a bad feeling one of Jamal or Redick are not coming back and this would be a response.
Great way to put it into perspective! Perfectly said.
Metta has been 3pt happy the last few years at a horrible clip. If NY couldn't find minutes for this mental patient, why should we "settle" on him? pffft.
Glad to see people are now using the term I coined.
/wipes tear from eye.
With both Gordon and Metta, they are guys seen as unnecessary by bad teams still trying to get into the playoffs, I'd think if they had much value their teams would keep them. Granger was available because Indiana got a player in return, Davis team had given up for the year.
I'm worried they want Gordon because redick is secretly done for good. Or that granger is leaning away from us
are we passing on Granger? i hope not.
Most probably the former. I think Granger signs with us.
I don't want Gordon, unless jj is going to be out for the remainder of the season. And we need a quality shooter so Jamal can go back to bench.
To be honest, after we get Granger I really don't care what happens with our last roster spot. There's no big men that are out there, but why sign Ben Gordon when we can get a younger Jimmer Fredette?
If Collins wouldn't come with Media attention, I'd like him in our last spot. He plays smarter D than Hollins...
We need JJ if we want to win a title this year. Hopefully he can come back for the playoffs.
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi 10m
There's no real timetable on JJ Redick's return. It could be by season's end or not at all. If the Clippers pursued Ben Gordon, that's why.
would you guys take jimmer over gordon?
Take Jimmer over Gordon, he will get better the vet Gordon will get worse.
Breaking news
yeah same here. but i doubt doc is even looking at him. havent heard any rumors about us connected to him
In this context yes. Jimmer is a better replacement for JJ. If we need to sign someone for Crawford, Gordon is the better fit.
Sign Gordon! I mean, any one is better than Willie. Ben isn't as bad as some of you make it seem.
I think a motivated Gordon can help a lot of teams. The question is does he still have the inspiration?
I'm sure Doc Rivers can put some motivation in him. He made DeAndre the league leader in rebounding and FG percentage for crying out loud.
Personally I think Gordon still has some gas left in the tank. Worst case, he starts chucking up everything he touches and Doc benches him. Best case, we gain another shooter that can move Jamal back to the bench so we have a 2nd unit that can actually score some points.
I'm sure he will be motivated if he join this team. Come on, we have championship aspiration and what is a better way to get paid is to contribute to a winning team.
Ben Gordon is nowehere near what he once was.. Now unless Jamals injury is more serious than they are leading us to believe there really is no need to bring this guy on anything more than a 10 day contract..
He was already up there in fg% but he has made him one heck of a rebounder. Shows what a little faith in someone will do.
Agreed with both you guys. A look at Gordon probably means some worry about Redick's return. Gordon isn't bad at playing the off screen game, though he does like a lot of isolation after catching the ball similar to Jamal.
The weird thing is the 2 years talk, not sure how that is supposed to play out if Redick and Jamal are healthy. Him and Jamal are a bit redundant in terms of their best roles on a team (6th) man and their general skill set. It is still stock piling a cheap asset in case he does play well, so I get that angle
He's shot terribly this season, and he hasn't specifically been good since he was in Chicago, BUT, let's look at his pts/36, 3PT%, TS% and Ortg over the seasons since Chicago:
17.8 pts/36, 32.1% 3PT, 53.4% TS, 106 Ortg
15.6 pts/36, 40.2% 3PT, 54.8% TS, 104 Ortg
16.7 pts/36. 42.9% 3PT, 54.9% TS, 101 Ortg
19.4 pts/36. 38.7% 3PT, 51.5% TS, 96 Ortg
12.8 pts/36, 27.6% 3PT, 42.2% TS, 80 Ortg
17.1 pts/36, 37.8% 3PT, 53.2 TS%, 101 Ortg
We all know he's been terrible this year, that is a given. His Ortg has had a continuous downward trend also which is funny. This year though, Mullens can and has produced better offense than what Ben is doing, so that's obviously terrible, but he seems to have totally checked out from the Bobcats. Let's not get it twisted, the last 5 years he's been a below average player, no questions asked.
Still, he shot 38.7% or higher the previous 3 seasons before this one from 3PT range (40.1% average), is a career 40.2% 3PT shooter with 5.0 attempts per 36, which is a good attempt rate, and of course good make rate, so it's not like he just forgot how to shoot. Of course who knows about how his work ethic has been in recent years or anything like that (well Charlotte does, lol). Still right now what he can do is come in and start at SG in a Willie Green type role so that Crawford can come off the bench, or you can just use him off the bench himself to help out with the bench scoring.
Probably the best descriptive word for BG
Again with Doc and players putting work against his Boston team. Sure Ben Gordon shot lights out against Ray Allen, but after his time with the Bulls, he just went bust. How many unproductive seasons has he had after the Bulls. From Detroit to Charlotte. In my opinion, I just can't see him putting in the work.
5 years of mediocre down to poor production
Please. NO BG usage to refer to Ben Gordon. I will accept Ben G., B. Grodon, and BenG. I almost fell to the floor thinking it was BG.
With the news of Granger going to Clippers we do not need Ben.
Jamal should rest for a while. Go with Danny at 3 and Matt at 2.
Hopefully we have a healthy roster a week prior to playoffs so guys can get use to each others game.
CP, JJ, Danny, BG, DJ
DC, Jamal, Matt, and Big Baby!
Haha,totally forgot about them having the same initials.
Matt Barnes playing defense at SG though, oh man, that's a lot of fouls for him.
