Bradley makes All defensive second team
|Posted by shawn cassidy on May 13, 2013 at 7:45 PM
He did it! He finished 12th in defensive player of the year honors, and now he's made his first All-NBA defensive team. Hopefully this is the first step into making a first team.
"Bradley earned 10 first-team votes and five second-team votes, for a total of 25 points. He shared the second-team backcourt with Memphis' Mike Conley (19 points). Tony Allen (53 points) and Chris Paul (37 points) comprised the first-team backcourt.
The voting panel is made up of the NBA's 30 head coaches, who selected first and second teamers by position (coaches cannot vote for their own players). Two points were awarded for a first-team vote and one point for a second-team vote. Bradley outscored both of the first-team centers.
Bradley, a 22-year-old guard in his third season, has developed a reputation as one of the league's most tenacious on-ball defenders. According to individual defensive statistics logged by Synergy Sports, Bradley limited opponents to 0.697 points per play, the lowest in the league among those with at least 475 total defensive possessions. Opponents shot just 30.8 percent against Bradley and scored just 31.8 percent of the time (also a league low using that 475 possession total).
Bradley was the only Celtics player to receive votes in the All-Defensive balloting (Kevin Garnett, a mainstay of these teams, was surprisingly shut out). Previously, Bradley finished 12th in the media-voted Defensive Player of the Year award (landing on five of 121 ballots)."

Why is this a big deal to so many fans and writers, but Rondo winning another assist title was not?
Bradley is the best to ever play the game Paul. I have finally realized it.

Lol!! But you forget one Jeff Green, Shawn!

I wrote about Rondo winning his assist crown, for the others I don't know why they didn't,or if they did. Fans were upset about Bradley finishing 12th in voting, but I wasn't.
I think it's a really nice achievement for Bradley, a very nice step for him. Rondo winning an assist crown was a fantastic achievement, and there was very little acknowledgement of this that I saw anywhere. The anti-Rondo double standard is just so fantastically stupid.
Franklin says...
Don't forget Rondo also led the league in triple-doubles.
Right on, Franklin - I remember seeing that all over twitter. Nobody seemed to mention it on the Celtics blogs, etc., though. Can you imagine if Bradley had even one triple double, or - God help us - Green? My god. they'd give a parade.
Those two guys have talent, but the orgy of love for them is freaking insane. Meanwhile we got a guy leading the team deep into the playoffs year after year, leading the league in assists and triple doubles, etc., etc., all sort of invisible...

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- One man has been charged after a robbery shooting Tuesday morning.
Officers with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said that 28-year-old Jason Diehl shot 32-year-old Marlin Williamson during a robbery hold-up at Williamson's home on 14th Avenue North around 9:30 Tuesday morning. Police said shot Williamson, in the neck, took $40 and fled the scene.

Tasmanian Wilderness #WorldHeritage Area central value intact ecosystems
Australia is moving to strip Tasmania protected forests of their world heritage status only one year after they were added. Prime Minister Tony Abbott's government this week proposed to UNESCO to delist 74,000 hectares. Tasmania, Australia is home to the tallest hardwood forests on Earth, with eucalyptus trees reaching nearly 100 metres and living for over 400 years. Tasmania's temperate rainforests contain large tracts of intact old growth forest, wild rivers, indigenous heritage sites, and critical endangered species' habitat. The area is part of a 172,500-hectare addition to the world heritage area requested by Australia and approved by UNESCO just last year. The outstanding universal value of Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area lies largely in their ecologically intact, large natural habitats; which will be lost with these boundary changes. Tasmanian, Australian, and global ecosystem sustainability depend upon protecting and restoring Tasmanian old-growth forests and other spatially extensive natural vegetation.
The coalition government – also moving to end Australia's carbon tax, and allow silt to be deposited on the Great Barrier Reef – described the requested annexation of 74,000 hectares of forest as a "minor boundary modification", saying the forests were "degraded" – a claim quickly disputed by environmental groups. In the case of the bitterly contested 7,000-hectare middle and upper Florentine Valley - part of the area proposed for delisting - only about 150 hectares had been logged. Less than 11,000 hectares of the 170,000 hectare extension are recovering from logging and these areas were included to ensure integrity of the entire landscape's intact ecosystem. Even the Forest Industries Association of Tasmania continues to support the 2013 extension, stating it was integral to a forest peace deal. UNESCO's World Heritage Committee must be called upon to reject the Abbott government's exceptionally unusual move to reduce protections for Tasmanian wild forests. UNESCO's world heritage committee will consider the amendment in June.

Concern about proposed reduction in Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area
Your Message:
Irina Bokova, UNESCO, Director-General
Dear Ms. Bokova,
I am writing as a strong supporter of UNESCO World Heritage Areas, to express grave concern with the Australian government's unprecedented request to reduce the size of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, only one year after its expansion. The changes in boundaries would strongly reduce the overall value of these large and natural temperate rainforests; whose value lies in their intactness as a whole. I strongly urge you to not allow these intact ecosystem values to be lost.
Tasmania's temperate rainforests include the iconic tall forests of the Weld and Upper Florentine valleys. These intact old-growth forests protect threatened species, tall wet rainforest and dry forest ecosystems, store carbon and provide water catchments, and are popular tourist attractions.
The Australian government's claims that stripping of protection for 74,000 hectares is a minor boundary change, removing degraded already logged forests, are ridiculous. In the 7,000-hectare middle and upper Florentine Valley - part of the area proposed for delisting - only about one hundred and fifty hectares had been logged. Less than 11,000 hectares of the 170,000 hectare extension are recovering from logging and these areas were included to ensure integrity of the boundaries of the entire landscape's intact ecosystem.
The areas the government now wants delisted were added to the World Heritage register at the request of the forestry industry, unions, the state government and environment groups after years of tough negotiation. Delisting would bring international shame to Australia, threaten forest dependent jobs, as well as destroy areas of globally significant forest.
Ecological science is realizing the importance of large, intact old-growth forests in not only maintaining local well-being, but in sustaining the global biosphere. The whole concept of World Heritage Areas must be expanded to promote a system of global ecological reserves adequate to maintain critical local ecosystem services, as well as global ecological sustainability.
Others and I are writing to demand that you reject the request to reduce the ecosystem integrity of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It is absolutely critical that existing Heritage Areas not frivolously reduce protections based upon fleeting, self-serving political ambitions. The world is watching and will hold you accountable for this decision.

- " at first you'll find the area a bit sketchy, however it's not as unsafe that might seems. it's a ok hostel, not in manhattan, but you can easily get there by subway which is just a few blocks from the hostel. they should improve the wifi, because while my stay there were times it's was just not working at all. "

- " Have a storage room for luggage, which they may or may not charge you $3/day for. I got lucky and didn't get charged! Most of the staff at the front desk were pleasant. Some of the activities advertised on the website here aren't up to date. For example I think they no longer do fondue on Sunday nights. Perhaps worth calling ahead if that's important to you. "

- " The only thing is that my driver's license was required when the staff member was checking me in, and she forgot to give it back to me :( Thank goodness I happened to come downstairs to ask a question that was totally unrelated, and then she was like, oh, by the way, you left your license here and I was thinking of bringing it up to you but got preoccupied. Bummer man. Other than that, she was highly attentive and cordial. "

However the water was luke-warm in the shower and we had cold water in our sink although they fixed it after we told them. But overall it's a nice hostel, enjoyable experience, I'll come back again! "

- " hostel is in a great Location, very close to the subway (L-Train that goes to Manhattan in a few stops). Lots of vintage Shops, Restaurants. Bars and Cafes nearby. our room was small but clean, the bottom bunk was wide enough to sleep two comfortably. bath room and sink were on the small side too. the hostel has free breakfast and other activities like movie night, barbeque and staff were always happy to help you out with any questions. "

- " This hostel is located in an industrial zone at Brooklyn, I went with my girlfriend and two blocks away from the hostel I was almost stolen by two black guys. We had to take a taxi to arrive to the hostel because no one knew how to get there so GPS was absolutely necessary. It was really a bad experience in my trip, don't stay at this hostel you will not be peaceful at all "

One thing I would like to mention for you and all other costumers, do not look through what other people have been approved for to try and make your case. It is just sadly not a good basis for the arguement and will only upset you further.

I have been writing an informative "memoir" if you will on what I have been discovering about Han Costumes. I assure you my research has been painstaking and even a little costly (Hence why I have had to research so much). But at the end of the day, I am self admitted perfectionist so I had to get it right! I will gladly post what I have written without the pics if anyone would like to read it. The final draft will have pictures inserted to give a better description. But when it comes to the vest, Cobalts is about spot on.
The best way to describe the ROTJ vest (for the front pockets) is make the ESB jacket black and remove the sleeves. Pockets are dang near identical in layout. Thats why Dawn Andersons Falcon jacket pattern can be modified and works great!
For my ROTJ vest, I bought two CB vests and had my seamstress remove the pockets from one vest and mirror them, then had the back pocket removed. Now I have enough extra material to Frankenstein an ANH vest!
Anyway, my two cents, as long as this can stay friendly; its a great topic and discussion!

Some facts on approvals:
One, you must keep in mind when standards were revised. If you look at the standards revise date (in green) that is the date that effects current approvals. NOT every
frames has been judged by the revised standard dates.
There is suppose to be legionwide review of all RL costumes, unfortunately there is still no definite date on that. This is to be done legionwide. We did start somewhat with 2 bases as of this date. Still its a long process and understandably so.

I would recommend a cotton twill for making the vest from scratch.
If you are doing the ROTJ vest, the vest had been lined with a lightier weight cotton material than the outer shell of the vest. Its not required for you to do this, but I just wanted to mention it.

Cotton twill is used most commonly in khaki pants (aka chinos) and can usually be found alongside the denim fabrics in most fabric stores as twill is essentially a slightly lighter form of denim (the word twill refers to the type of diagonal weave used for heavier cotton cloth). You may also use cotton poplin, a bottomweight evenweave (straight not diagonal), which is also usually found next to the twills and denims.
As for linings, it is not certain what the original ROTJ vest was lined with and while lightweight cotton broadcloth is fine, it can stick to your shirt and restrict movement so an alternative is to use an inexpensive acrylic lining. Acrylic lining is used in most professional and retail jackets and vests from casual to formal as it is slick enough to not restrict movement. For Bob's vests and jacket, we felt it best to go with most professional choice and line them in a matte acrylic that is slick for movement ease but not shiny which we love and was picked up at our local Joann's.
And while lining your vest is not a requirement it is what I highly recommend for any garment that needs some structure like a jacket or vest. It not only adds to the body and strength of the garment so that it lasts through repeated wearings, it protects the main garment itself (it's easier to replace a lining in a garment then to have to replace the whole thing when it becomes worn), but also gives a garment a clean professional finish, hiding raw seams that would otherwise peek out. So if you can line your vest, do it - it's worth the extra effort.

Yeah, I knew you had upgraded, I am glad you posted those pics. I was actually worried for a sec that someone might think that the other vests where..."Spot on".
Those new pics that you have posted are a lot more accurate and I feel really do give a newcomer a great idea where things go...and where to start!
The only thing I would add if you ever do the vests over is that they need a yoke. I know others may say it, that an inner lining is just an option... but does make a difference.

nice job! Did you use a store bought pattern? Make your own? Would you be able to make copies if you did make your own?
Those vests look great and I would love to have the pattern since the ROTJ vest I do have, although love, is kinda big on me.

Hi all!
I'm new to this group and hope that my account won't be deleted (twice), at least not without some explanation. With that said, I'm sure there are allot of good people here with an extensive background in mathematics. Someone that perhaps can assist me in solving a problem I may encounter from time to time. I'm currently retired and in R&D on a special project that's been going on for some time now. My math skills were very good once but as time goes by, one may tend to forget those talents one had long ago.

This weekend, some members of the media repeated a myth opponents of health insurance reform have been spreading: that people would be 'forced' to choose a public health insurance option, and falsely attributes it to the Congressional Budget Office. In fact, the public option in America's Affordable Health Choices Act simply provides those using the Health Insurance Exchange a CHOICE between various private plans and a public plan - with the choice being made by the individual and never an employer.
Myth: 'Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., said the Democrats' option would force individuals from their private plans to a government-run plan, a claim that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office supports.' - Associated Press [8/16/09]
"How can the Administration make the promise that if you like your insurance plan you can keep it, when CBO and other analysts estimate that some people will be switched from private to public?"- ABC's Jake Tapper on This Week with Stephanopoulos [8/16/09]
"…a study by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office which found that by 2016, 9 million people will no longer have their employer-based plan under health care reform because businesses would decide in many cases that it's cheaper simply to pay the penalty and push people into a public plan." - Fox News's Chris Wallace [8/16/09]
"Does he [the President] undermine his credibility when he makes some claims like, if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance, when a lot of people have said not really; employers could drop people from insurance if they wanted to move people into a public plan, if that existed?" - NBC's David Gregory on Meet the Press [8/16/09]
Fact: The CBO does not support the assertion that individuals could be forced into the public option. Under the bill, no one can ever be forced onto the public plan. The only way someone would be in the public plan is the person's own individual choice. All those using the Health Insurance Exchange will have a range of options - various private plans, and the public plan. If the employer is providing their employees health insurance through the Exchange, it is the employee - not the employer - choosing the plan. CBO estimates that about 30 million people will be using the exchange by 2019 and that about one-third of them - or 11 to 12 million people - would choose the public option.
In fact, the Congressional Budget Office directly contradicts Rep. Tom Price's assertion -- specifically stating that Americans can choose the plan they'd like through the exchange:
- 'Under the proposal, small employers could allow their workers to choose among the plans available in the exchanges--including the public plan ... Approximately 6 million people would obtain coverage in that way, with roughly a third choosing the public plan, so total enrollment in the public plan would equal about 11 million or 12 million, counting both individually purchased policies and employer-sponsored enrollees.' [CBO letter to Chairman Rangel, 7/14/09, p. 6]
Republicans have falsely claimed that a public health insurance option would undermine employer-sponsored insurance. However, the CBO numbers state that, under America's Affordable Health Choices Act, MORE people would receive coverage through their employer than under current law:
- CBO estimate for Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance in 2019:
- Under current law: 162 million
- Under America's Affordable Health Choices Act: 164 million [CBO letter to Chairman Rangel, 7/17/09, p. 6]

Ireland book World Cup ticket
Ireland will play in next year's ICC World Twenty20 after beating Kenya in a nailbiting semi-final which went down to the last over.
Chasing a mere 68 to win, Ireland made hard work of batting, having to recover from two early wickets as Kenya's seamers bowled excellently, backed up by some superb catching.
Andre Botha, arguably the player of the tournament, scored a vital 22 but a flurry of wickets left Ireland 49 for six.
But Kevin O'Brien and Trent Johnston remained composed, the former smashing Tony Suji down the ground for four to seal a place in the final and with it a ticket to England next year.
On a sunny morning, Ireland won the toss and elected to bowl first on a wicket that has produced few runs all week.
Maurice Ouma played a delightful drive down the ground in the first over but soon gave way to temptation, launching into a booming drive off Peter Connell which he sliced to third man where Alex Cusack took an excellent catch tumbling forward.
Kenya were 12 for two in the second over when Nehemiah Odhiambo played back to Kevin O'Brien - not the wisest move on a slow, damp wicket - and was given out leg before.
Kennedy Obuya, Kenya's hero in the victory over Canada, was the next to go in O'Brien's next over, top-edging an ugly heave across the line to Connell at short fine-leg who took a comfortable catch.
Kenya slipped further into the mire, 26 for four in the seventh over, following Alex Obanda's dimissal. Aiming high over mid-on, the 20-year-old seemingly scooped it over Kyle McCallan's head only for the fielder to turn, chase and claim a wonderful catch as he fell to the floor.
It was soon 38 for five when Botha struck with his first ball, Steve Tikolo being given out leg before in the tenth over.
Ragheb Aga did not last long, a huge inside edge off Cusack sending his leg stump cartwheeling out of the ground as Kenya looked in danger of being skittled out for the lowest total of the tournament, barring Ireland's rain-affected score the previous day. Jimmy Kamande followed in identical manner two balls later to leave Kenya 48 for seven.
Botha's accurate medium pace has proved a handful in Stormont and he bowled Thomas Odoyo and Peter Ongondo in successive balls as the Africans were on the verge of surrendering at 57 for nine in the 14th over. He eventually finished with 3-20.
Kenya's misery was complete in the 18th over when Suji was smartly run out by captain William Porterfield.
Ireland struggled in their reply, losing a wicket in the third over when Porterfield edged Odoyo to second slip where Tikolo took a smart catch.
Suji eclipsed that later in the over to reduce Ireland to three for two, sprinting back in chase of Gary Wilson's top-edged hook shot before diving forward to claim a wonderful catch.
With tensions mounting amid an excellent opening burst from Kenya's bowlers, Botha - who else? - gave the home support something to cheer about with a lovely cut off Odoyo which raced to the fence.
Kenya were in the game, a fine effort considering their paltry total, and a couple more wickets with Ireland 13 for two off six overs could be enough to spring a shock. Another boundary from Botha in Aga's first over, through the covers, wrested some of the ascendency the hosts' way.
At the halfway stage Ireland were 35 for two, just 33 runs short and with Botha seemingly set to see his side home. But he risked one shot too many and was bowled by Kamande for 22.
Kenya were given a further fillip when Andrew White top-edged a hook off Aga to fine-leg where Hiren Varaiya took a fine catch. The Africans had a sniff of an unlikely win two balls later when Cusack chipped to Obanda off Aga as Ireland stuttered to 42 for five with seven overs remaining.
Kenya's response to the double strike was to bring fielders in and to squeeze the Ireland batsmen, a ploy which worked as Niall O'Brien was caught at slip by Tikolo after his attempted sweep ricocheted off Ouma's gloves.
Kevin O'Brien relieved some of the pressure in the 17th over with a forcing shot off the back foot off Suji which rolled to the boundary, a shot which meant Ireland needed just 11 to win.
The experienced Johnston showed a cool head in the circumstances, rotating the strike to bring victory within sight.
It duly arrived with five balls remaining.

A Saudi cleric sparked a wave of mockery online when he warned women that driving would affect their ovaries and bring "clinical disorders" upon their children.
The warning came ahead of an October 26 initiative to defy a longstanding driving ban on women in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
"Physiological science" has found that driving "automatically affects the ovaries and pushes up the pelvis," Sheikh Saleh al-Luhaydan warned women in remarks to local news website Sabq.org.
"This is why we find that children born to most women who continuously drive suffer from clinical disorders of varying degrees," he said.

* To read about Edward Hotspur and Salma Hayek, go here.
** To read about Edward Hotspur and The Flowers On The Horizon, go here.
Why hello, Mr. Hotspur, and thank you for joining us here at The Empire Of Bacon. On behalf of all the staff , I want to welcome you and wish you the happiest of birthdays!
Oh, dear me, I seem to have forgotten my manners. Please, allow me introduce myself…
My name is Lottie , and I will be your hostess today. Mr. Hotspur, it is not often we allow commoners into our top secret world of Organic Pork Products ( hereby and henceforth to be known as O.P.P. Yes, I realize "O.P.P." has other meanings as well, but can we all agree that we ARE, in fact, down with O.P.P. when it pertains to Organic Pork Products?), however, I was recently introduced to a friend of yours who very ruthlessly used his powers (and prowess) of naked bar dancing to persuade me to let you into the hallowed halls of The Empire Of Bacon and the O.P.P's secret way of life. Since his moves were so impressive, not only will I give you an exclusive tour of the O.P.P. facilities, but I have also decided to make you an honorary member of the O.P.P. club. With this membership you will have all inclusive access to our services in the O.P.P. realm.
So tell me Mr. Hotspur, are you down with O.P.P.?
Before we get started on the O.P.P. tour, may I offer you an adult beverage? Your comfort, and helping you to unwind, are our top priorities in the O.P.P. club. We want you to enjoy all that we have to give you. It just so happens that today's specialty Birthday Cocktail is a Maple Bacon Martini. It is one of my personal favorites and it contains vodka infused with the foreskins of Russian Pot Belly Pigs. This cocktail, made exclusively for members of the O.P.P. club, is the other reason you have been given a rare pass onto the O.P.P. premises. Your naked dancing friend made sure they were heavy on the 'maple' and even heavier on the 'foreskins' while using them to bribe me for your all access Birthday pass. So drink up, birthday boy, we have a lot to show you..
If the O.P.P. martini has not yet got you feeling all groovy and relaxed, or calm and loose, might I suggest you stop in and see one of our massage specialists? This is another generous service we offer for guests in our O.P.P. club.
Our trained professionals will have you feeling as happy as a pig in a mud puddle on Sunday before you know it! Our massage therapists are specially trained in ancient Baconedish techniques and will only use certified O.P.P. lubricants on your delicate skin. Our most popular oil in the O.P.P. line is the sensuous, yet swine infused, Bacon Lube. This is when all of your real world troubles will melt away into a jar of un-wanted bacon grease…Ahhhhhh.
You will, without a doubt, want to wallow here for a long time after you are finished. Please, take your time, and when you are ready, I will assist you with a new wardrobe selection as you spend the rest of the day getting acquainted with our O.P.P. club.
At the O.P.P. club, we like to keep our attire on the more formal side of life, so while you were moaning away from the effects of the official O.P.P. Bacon Lube Baconedish massage earlier today, I went ahead and ordered this for you…
I think the perfectly blended colors of this O.P.P. inspired suit will harmonize harmoniously with those! eyes! of yours, don't you agree? Excuse me for one moment while I sigh out loud.
Thank You.
Our massage therapist gave me all of your measurements, forgive us if the trousers are a bit too tight in certain areas…
Now let's get moving Mr. Hotspur, I took the liberty of scheduling a hair appointment for you. As I was listening at the door when you were being handled by our O.P.P. massage therapists, I overheard you say something like " I love the way that certified O.P.P. Bacon Lube feels in my hair", and I knew you would need your coiffe freshened up a bit. O.P.P. lube can give a guy some serious bed head..
You have the option of trying on the O.P.P. style trend of 2013, which is modeled here by Bob, the bacon shampoo boy, or , Mr. Hotspur, you can keep your current kicked up hair style which, in certain circles, is considered adorable and swoony. Bob will not care either way. Bob has no emotions or opinions because Bob is wearing O.P.P. on his head and is in a climatic heavenly trance of O.P.P. bliss. On second thought, perhaps Bob does not, in fact, want to share the O.P.P. style trend of 2013 with you, even if it is your birthday. Bob is rumored to be a nympho with severe O.P.P. fetishes and I think Bob has defiled the O.P.P. style trend of 2013, so why don't we just freshen up your cuteness a little bit and leave you as is, okay? Yes, that's sounds lovely.
Would you mind terribly if I just give a quick wash over my hands? I think Bob may have touched my own personal cache of O.P.P. items… You better wash something as well, Bob was the one who bottled the Bacon Lube for your massage…
A-hem, ummm, okay, well, all seems better now, shall we keep going?
With the O.P.P. tour?
Mr. Hotspur, here at The Empire Of Bacon, we offer several forms of entertainment for your entertaining pleasure and pleasuring. All of the nightclubs on the premises are approved by our O.P.P. Board of Directors and meet the standards of Bob, the nympho with severe O.P.P. fetishes… but that last bit isn't important…
Tonight only, at our Performance Art Theater, you can feast your wonderous eyes on The Bacon Guy.
He performs.
In our theater.
With Bacon.
We call his particular style of performing "Art-near, with bacon".
He's down with O.P.P.
I understand that you like poetry, Mr. Hotspur? Well, per my suggestion to the O.P.P. Board and a bribe to Bob via photographs of my feet wrapped in prosciutto, we now have an open mic night for Poets in our brand new O.P.P. Cafe. You will find an eclectic mix of men and women, all of whom are so so sooooo very down with O.P.P… and salted caramel bacon lattes. And Bob. Bob will be there.
I happen to be a bit of a poet myself….
Bacon is Red
And is so good to chew
It's sizzling and cut thick
And look at it dripping
All over you.
I think my prose is O.P.P. Cafe worthy, don't you?
Now, if you're salivating for something a little more on the wild side, we also have a Women's Semi-Professional Bacon Wrestling Team!
Beautiful women, rolling around on top of delicious strips of hardwood smoked bacon that have been dry rubbed with special O.P.P. spices, who are scantily clad so as to make those mouth watering slices of over salted heaven stick to their warm and sweaty bodies, all in the name of bacon love…
They are definitely down with O.P.P.
Please, Mr. Hotspur, the only thing we ask is that you entertain yourself responsibly while you are here… remember to use the bacon soap if needed on all porous and non-porous surfaces.
And I must not forget to direct your attention to The Empire Of Bacon Gift Shop, located next to the Performance Art Theater because no one really wants to see The Bacon Guy do anything with his bacon, so the Gift Shop is a great place to hide from that whore disguised as a performance artist. And Bob. You can also hide from Bob in there. Bob is a cheap bastard who never pays for anything and wouldn't be caught dead with his canadian bacon wrapped disco stick in the Gift Shop.
In the gift shop you will find a wide variety of O.P.P. mementoes to take home to your lovely wife or to keep for yourself….it is, after all, your Birthday. No one judges the reasons why you purchase something here at The Empire Of Bacon.
Here is a small yet delectable sample of some of the items you may enjoy for yourself or enjoy for your wife…
Perfect for a man with high fashion sense, impressing your friends at the office just became a whole lot easier, and much more tasty! Your boss will be envious of your exclusive membership at the O.P.P. club and I think you will see a lot more invitations to those 'special after hours corporate meetings' with CEO's named Destiny Love & Kitty Kumquat… O.P.P. membership has many, many privileges…
I have no doubt that your Mrs. will look stunning in this O.P.P. inspired brassiere.. This will be a gift for both of you, I think.
And no O.P.P. inspired brassiere is complete without a coordinating pair of panties, O.P.P. style, of course!
A fresh bouquet of Bacon Roses is something no member of the O.P.P. club should go home without… especially when he is 5 hours late because of a special after hours corporate meeting…
A little O.P.P. lip balm comes in handy after salivating over all that The Empire Of Bacon Has to offer…
Well Mr. Hotspur, this tour of the O.P.P. club at The Empire Of Bacon has come to an end. It's over. Done. Finished and wrapped up in a to go box. We hope you enjoyed your stay here with us today and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Your exclusive O.P.P. club membership expires in one year or when you have your first bacon induced heart attack.
Once again, I wish you…
To wish Mr. Silly Person, aka, Edward Hotspur, a Happy Birthday

People pray at the interfaith vigil in honor of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
A Lutheran pastor has apologized after being chastised by his denomination's leader for offering a prayer at an interfaith vigil for the victims of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Pastor Rob Morris, who leads the Christ the King Lutheran Church in Newtown, violated the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod's rule against taking part in joint worship services, said the synod's president, Pastor Matthew C. Harrison.
Participation could be seen as endorsing "false teaching" because some among the diverse group of religious leaders at the vigil hold beliefs different from those of synod.
The vigil, which was attended by President Barack Obama, was a high-profile part of the healing process for the families of the 20 children and six adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14.
One of the victims of the shooting was a young congregant of Morris' church.
In an open letter posted online, Harrison wrote that because of "the presence of prayers and religious readings" and the fact that "other clergy were vested for their participation," the event was a "joint worship with other religions."
"I could draw no conclusion other than that this was a step beyond the bounds of practice allowed by the Scriptures," Harrison wrote. "There is sometimes a real tension between wanting to bear witness to Christ and at the same time avoiding situations which may give the impression that our differences with respect to who God is, who Jesus is, how he deals with us, and how we get to heaven, really don't matter in the end."
Harrison then "asked Pastor Morris to apologize for taking part in the service" because he "violated the limits set by Scripture regarding joint worship" and "gave offense" to the Lutheran leadership.
A day after Harrison's letter was posted, Morris apologized in another open letter.
"To those who believe that I have endorsed false teaching, I assure you that was not my intent, and I give you my unreserved apologies," Morris wrote in a letter to the Lutheran leadership. "I apologize where I have caused offense by pushing Christian freedom too far, and I request you charitably receive my apology."

Thanks for putting this into words because I couldn't have...I feel like you, and I guess everybody out there feels the same. He's not here anymore but in a way, he is...That's very weird, very sad, but really great too.
I know, this has probably been posted sooooo many times but i had to say this.
I was reading 'Elvis And Me' and when Priscilla is describing when she went back to Graceland, and upstairs to his room and could still smell his esscence.
Then it hit me.
He's gone.
He is actually dead.
Then i could not stop crying, i felt like an *****.
I come on here, Tcb-world, and look at pictures of him, listen to music and talk about him, and believe he is alive. I weren't around when Elvis was, yet i still feel him here. I feel as if, when i watch TTWII, i am watching it as if it is on daytime television and everyone else is watching.
It's a strange feeling.
But i guess i like it.
Then i realised, he is alive, through spirit.
His songs speak to us, as he pours his heart and soul into them.
The pictures have a story behind them.
And the man remains a legend.
Thank You.
Danielle x
Thanks for putting this into words because I couldn't have...I feel like you, and I guess everybody out there feels the same. He's not here anymore but in a way, he is...That's very weird, very sad, but really great too.
Danielle, you said that so perfectly...and yes...I feel same as you when I watch him, makes you feel like he is still alive....I haven't read Priscilla's book though. Thanks for posting this thread...it's very nice.
I'm Glad i am not the only one, Glad you all liked it, i did find it hard putting it into words, but i guess it all came from the heart.
Guess what.. I have been thinking this same lately a lot. And I am glad that you have written it here.
It is so unbelivable.. I have lately watched some of him movies and some concert stuff. And it really feel he would be still here with us.. it is so unbelivable. Yesterday I was watching my Comeback ?68 Deluxe Box.. and I couldn't have thought it all happened 39years ago. I cannot belivable but I have cried several times watching him...
And when I finished reading "Elvis - the final years" book.. i couldn't help but cry..because I was so sad to read that he is really gone. Gone.. over 30 years ago already. It is so hard to put these feelings into words..
But I am glad that can share these feelings with you...
[CENTER]"The only time I can be me is when I walk through the door and lock it from the inside" -Elvis
ooo yeah! i was watching the Elvis By The Presleys and when it showed clips of him singing "my way" it really hit me that he was dead (body-wise) .. but like you so rightly said ... the passion he puts into his songs keeps his soul alive (don't mean to go all religious on people! cos i'm not lol)
I've got those hup, two, three, four, occupation G.I. Blues, From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
He may be dead, but he will always live in our hearts
Don't worry I always cry like an ***** when I watch Unchained Melody live 1977, when he is sitting on the piano He put everything he had in that one...all the energy, the voice...everything.
You know, he was such a beautiful person,I think he deserved to live more.
..and we the fans are still faithful (the older ones) and there are many new ones and young ones too. That is beautiful
Thank you Danielle, that was sweet
I get pretty sad whenever I see footage from his funeral - however, never cried - guess I would cry my eyes out if I weren't male.
Luckily he left all of us with his beautiful songs and his home (when I arrive there, for the first time, I'll propably do as most fans do - cry), and his legacy.
However, I love your avatar Burning Love. Any chance of you giving me a url for the complete picture?
Glad you both like my avatar, i love it, so natural
And Jth, your answer was very honest indeed.
Elvis is sure missed, thank you burning for bring this thread up. I did read that in priscilla's book bought tears to my eyes. Like you all say he left us with some many wonderful memories and the the man and the lengend will never die in our hearts, he will be looking down and smiling cause he's got the best fans in the world and we got everything he left behind for us.
Perfectly said, Danielle
I sometimes think about this too, and somehow it's hard to imagine him being dead and still live in a special way though
I think Elvis is in heaven now and smiling down at us, I'm sure he's proud of still being loved by so many people.
Rising Sun
Elvis is still alive...in our HEARTS, as Marija said, and this is the most important thing
I feel the same Danielle...
Here we go Marija, just for you :
Thankyou Jen for your answer, your so right, he left us with some great memories of him.
Awww thank you all for your answers, your all just like me, and that's why us Elvis fans should stick together to keep him alive, we are one big family, and i mean BIG !

2011 was the year I finally embraced wearing lipstick. I have what is commonly referred to as a "gigantic mouth" and always thought lip colours would call negative attention to it. Not only that, but my gigantic mouth is paired with huge teeth, which means I'm constantly worried about getting lipstick on said huge teeth. However, 2011 was the year I learned that wearing lipstick makes everyone look better. It seems to work some sort of psychological magic on other people: your skin appears clearer, your eyes seem brighter, and you just generally present the appearance of someone who is very polished and together and not hungover at the WORN office struggling not to barf on Serah-Marie's laptop. Not that I would know from personal experience.
I still try to save lipstick for special occasions. I like the creamy texture of lipsticks for more civilized activities—drinks with friends, job interviews, that sort of thing. Lip stains are better for everyday wear because they do what the name implies: they stain your lips and then leave the colour there for a long-ass time. If you're working all day away from a mirror, you can trust a lip stain to stay more or less in place; if you're at a sweaty dance party, a lip stain won't bleed all over your chin when you wipe some errant vodka from your face. Again, not that I would know from personal experience.
For this edition of "This Shit Ain't Free," I present a round-up of some lip stains currently bouncing around the bottom of my purse.
I either got this lip stain through MAGIC or through STEALING. I was holding it in my hand at Shoppers, and I swear I thought I put it on the counter with my toothpaste and Twizzlers (anti-cavities and pro-sugar, I am nothing if not counterproductive). The next thing I knew I was outside and my receipt didn't have the lip stain on it! Ah!! So, technically, I did not pay for this shit. But I MEANT to.
Not that I advocate accidental shoplifting, but I have to say, I'm sort of glad I didn't pay for this. It's not so great. I really like the colour, but the formula is very drying. I find that the texture just calls attention to how dry my lips get in the winter. Sometimes I layer it underneath the above mentioned creamy lipstick to give the colours more depth. Otherwise I have to pile a bunch of lip balm on top of it (Kiehl's #1 is the best, don't even try to fight me on this). It's definitely not my favorite. I give it 1 smooch out of 4 potential smooches.

Last Wednesday, about 400 Hamburg fans march to the club's training ground as a demonstration of support for the beleaguered squad who had lost five games in a row, a run that saw the club descend to second from bottom of the Bundesliga. Hamburg have never been relegated from the first division and they were founder members when the league was formed in 1963. After...Read More
In an era during which it can be difficult to zone out the white noise of vitriol and rage that seems to accompany professional football wherever it goes, it comes as no little surprise to see the resignation of a manager from his position with a degree mutual respect between himself, the football club that they both represented and the club itself. So it was,...Read More
Normally you would not be too bothered about a -2 goal difference after fourteen matches, that is unless you're the Hoffenheim coach. The good news is that so far, only Borussia Dortmund have scored more goals in the Bundesliga that Markus Gisdol's team. The bad news is that no other team has conceded more. Last Saturday, the Sinsheim club welcomed guests Werder...Read More
The Bavarian themed basement pub in London last Saturday evening was so packed that people were sitting on the stairs outside the entrance looking through the doorway in order to get a glimpse of the Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich match.

I am heading to the Big Horns (WY) for a DIY mule deer hunt during the last week of October. We will be tent camping and I have a wood burning cylinder stove and have read a lot about burning evergreen wood creates a lot of pitch / creosote buildup in the stove pipe and spark arrestor.
What does everyone do for fire wood that uses a wood burning stove in their tent?
I doubt there is much southern red oak in the Big Horns (joking).
Do you just gather and use dead fall or do you haul in your own? Buy pre cut when you get close to your area?
Thanks for info
