Well, first of all: you aren't crazy. You're probably just sensitive to the paranormal.
I've had the same type of things happen to me - being "pulled" to certain places. The strongest "pull" I ever felt was to a negative type of energy. When we're sensitive to the paranormal, it's easy for us to be "taken over" by these feelings. Too, if we're under stress, the pull can be greater. I've found that during periods of high-stress, I am much more sensitive to the paranormal around me.
It's very important, therefore, to resist the pull to places we know to hold negative energy and to stay alert when in places we feel drawn to that are not necessarily negative, but can turn into a negative if they become too overwhelming. Sometimes, the pull can become so great it can overwhelm us and that is simply not good in any way. Once, I was investigating a cemetery and was experiencing the residual energies of a rape that had occurred there. The visions I was having became so horrific, someone needed to take over and get me out of the area because I was too overwhelmed to break the tie. It's just something to be conscious of because a pull that becomes greater than we are can have very negative consequences.
Feeling drawn to a certain place, but being able to protect yourself spiritually and getting out as soon as you notice the warning signs of becoming over-whelmed (and, notifying the others with you about what may occur so that they can keep an eye on you and help if you do become over-whelmed) are important things to keep in mind, also.

I have "felt" things before - usually a stong forbidding or smothering feeling. It happens a lot when I am near where certain Native American ceremonies take place, certain places in Getttysburg *no shocker*, and even the back room of one holistic store up north of all places...but I always thought I was just playing games with myself. I do know that I have seen demons...or else its the same one who appeared twice- I can't tell...but that was pure fear. And I have found a small patch where I have found complete peace and you can just feel the swirls around you. This house is fear and peace- So strong is the draw it seems hard to even comprehend not going back there. I added a picture of the cemetery as my profile picture - its so soft and peaceful. I felt the need to take photos (its my hobby) and even took one of myself with the house. It just felt like I belonged there...almost like an old friend. No other place has the draw and I have no attachment to anyone in buried there. Why would I be so sensitive to just this house when there are so many other places that would have stronger activity?

I'm sure others here on GV have some other good possibilities to share, as well.

Either way, in most cases from what I've heard and experianced myself, feeling that strong of a pull to one place is rarely a good sign. In fact, I think that in your case this is NOT good. I suggest staying as far away from this schoolhouse/cemetary as possible. It appears that a very powerful entity or multiple entities have made a connection with you through your spiritual sensitive abilities. Its amazing how they can weed out people and pick out someone who is sensitive... Either way, what's happening to you is probably not good. I suggest paying attention to your "gut feeling" and try to pick out the energy around you when you are near this establishment. If you do this, you will be able to honestly feel that sense that something is not right, and possibly be able to break the bond between you and the building.

Crews lose control of gas rig off Louisiana coast
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Crews lost control of a natural gas well being drilled off the Louisiana coast Thursday, but officials said no injuries or pollution have been reported and efforts are under way to stop the flow of gas.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement says most crew members were evacuated from the rig, which was drilling in 262 feet (80 meters) of water about 108 miles (174 kilometers)southwest of Lafayette.
The rig operator is EnVen Energy Ventures of Metairie, Louisiana.
EnVen Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Garrett said gas, water and sand are flowing, but no pollution has reached the Gulf of Mexico. He says gas is being vented off the rig while crews work to kill the well.
Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Bobby Nash said no sheen was sighted when a Coast Guard crew flew over the site Thursday.
A BSEE spokeswoman said a platform that was producing oil and gas near the EnVen rig was shut down as a precaution.
Wild gas wells tend to be less of an environmental threat than blowouts from oil wells.
A natural gas blowout off Louisiana's coast in July 2013 ended one day later. Authorities believed the well had been clogged by sand and sediment.
The rig, operated by Hercules Offshore Inc., blew out and later caught fire. Part of the rig collapsed before the well apparently plugged itself.
The BP PLC blowout in April 2010 off the southeast Louisiana coast killed 11 workers and spewed a mixture of natural gas and oil from a busted well nearly a mile (1.6 kilometers) under the Gulf's surface. The worst environmental damage appeared to be caused by the hundreds of millions of gallons (liters) of crude oil that escaped and fouled marshes and seafood grounds.
The EnVen rig was operating in relatively shallow waters, where measures to control a leak or blowout are easier to manage than in the deep waters of the Gulf.

Mock Drafts
2018 NBA Consensus Mock Draft – Final
For the last eight weeks, four of Basketball Insiders' experts have offered up their views on the 2018 NBA Draft, here is their Final 60-pick Consensus.
For the last eight weeks, four of Basketball Insiders' experts have offered up their views on the 2018 NBA Draft, here is their Final Consensus, with notebooks to follow:
Version: 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 6.0 | 7.0
Benny's Notebook: It's finally here — whew.
This is our last set of mocks and mine is mostly the same over the first 30 picks. One week after dropping Luka Dončić down, I'm moving him back up to No. 2 with Sacramento. Obviously, Marvin Bagley III appears to be the popular favorite here, but Dončić has just continued to impress during his never-ending season with Real Madrid. Truthfully, the Kings can't really go wrong here — but Dončić is the type of do-it-all prospect that the franchise could really use moving forward. For now, the jury is out on Willie Cauley-Stein, Buddy Hield, and Skal Labissiere but pairing Dončić with De'Aaron Fox feels incredibly shrewd.
Elsewhere, Jerome Robinson has been a late riser and will head into the draft night as a hot topic. The Hawks own three first round picks and walking away with Bagley, Robinson, and Grayson Allen would be a no-doubt success. They'll have plenty of intriguing options in each slot, so watching how they mix-and-match their selections by position and current roster talent may be one of the draft's most interesting narratives.
Another team with picks to shuffle around are the Brooklyn Nets — current holders of No. 29, No. 40 and No. 45. While reports have indicated that the Nets would like to move up, it's tough to see them giving up any future picks after finally leaving the Billy King era behind. Some combination of those picks could see them snag a higher selection, but nominally at best. No matter what picks they end up with, look for general manager Sean Marks to swing for the fences as usual.
Ultimately, a full 60-pick mock will come with some second-round guesswork — but I feel confident about those names included here. As I mentioned last weekend, international players will almost certainly get selected, and I've included five of them here: Rodions Kurucs, Isaac Bonga, Issuf Sanon, Arnoldas Kulboka and Tryggvi Hlinason. Embrace the overseas journey!
Moke's Notebook: We've finally arrived at the final mock draft, and there are a few poorly-kept secrets that we can relay with some confidence on the day before the 2018 NBA Draft. First, unless there is a late change of heart, the Phoenix Suns will draft DeAndre Ayton. We have a similar amount of certainty in the Sacramento Kings' love with Marvin Bagley III, but the draft will basically have two completely separate permutations based on what the Atlanta Hawks opt to do with the third pick. The word on the street is that the Hawks like Trae Young, but are reluctant to take the risk on him at third with so many "can't miss" prospects available in the top five. Aside from the Hawks infatuation with Young, we also have been led to believe that both the Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies covet Luka Doncic. Considering the fact that the Grizzlies have been rumored to be open to trading back, though, it suggests that there isn't really one prospect for whom they're head over heels, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Grizzlies actually walk away with Mo Bamba. That second permutation of the draft will likely come to fruition if the Mavs do leapfrog the Grizzlies for Doncic after executing a deal with the Hawks…
Aside from that drama right at the top of the draft, we've known for several weeks that the Knicks covet Michael Porter, Jr., and I've been led to believe that he and Kevin Knox are the two prospects most likely to wind up as Knicks with Collin Sexton sitting at third on the depth chart.
What's important to understand about the pre-draft process and the mock drafts that we do is that the entire monthlong process between the Combine and the draft is a period of discovery where teams (as well as us) are consistently getting new information that changes our predictions. And at the end of the day, that's all these are—predictions. So while we do have a high degree of certainty with respect to which prospects are coveted by which team, one player being drafted much higher than initially thought (keep an eye on Kevin Huerter and Wendell Carter, each of whom have lottery-busting potential) or one slipping (I've heard that Trae Young or Michael Porter could fall to the backend of the lottery) could literally change everything.
At the end of the day, the Clippers are going to walk away with a player that would have gone top 10 in a lesser-talented class. Aaron Holiday, Keita Bates-Diop and Moritz Wagner are the mid-to-late first rounders that I think will have fruitless careers.
It all ends tomorrow night, and I can't wait.
Jesse's Notebook: The 2018 NBA Draft is almost here! We enter the draft with a lot of open questions and some uncertainty. As of yesterday, the Atlanta Hawks are now leaning toward drafting Luka Dončić if he is still on the board at No. 3. Some reports suggest that Michael Porter Jr. has a generally good medical outlook, though that does not seem to be a consensus opinion. Porter Jr. is in play to go No. 2 overall but also could slip a bit as well. I still have the sense that big trades could throw off the projections and create significant chaos. I am keeping an eye on the Los Angeles Clippers, who have the 12th and 13th overall picks. They could try to trade up for a top prospect (they have been linked to Luka Dončić in some reporting), but could ultimately stand pat. The Clippers should be positioned to add two talented players that can bring added youth and talent to positions of need.
The Kawhi Leonard situation continues to be a factor that certain teams have to consider in every move they make. Leonard reportedly met with Gregg Popovich last night and seemingly has not changed his insistence in being dealt out of San Antonio. It's not clear this will have any impact on how teams go about their business on draft night, but it's something to keep in mind.
Steve's Notebook: With draft day upon us, there seem to be some answers at the top of the draft board, and a lot more questions in the middle, so let's start with the top overall pick to the Phoenix Suns. Sources close to the process said last night that the overwhelming belief is the Suns will draft DeAndre Ayton number one. This isn't a huge shock, but it seems it would take something earth-shattering for him not to be the top pick.
The Sacramento Kings at number two are still a little bit of wild card; the word is that several members of the Kings front office believe strongly that Michael Porter Jr will be an elite player in the NBA and that while he has questions surrounding his back, its worth the risk. It's unclear if that will win out in the room, but Porter Jr is still firmly in the mix in Sacramento at number two. The conventional wisdom says the Kings will pass on the risk, which puts their next guy on the board in Marvin Bagley III in a Kings draft hat on Thursday.
The Atlanta Hawks seem to be tipping their hand that Euro sensation Luka Dončić is moving into the top spot on their draft board with the Hawks having done some aggressive background on Luka recently and may be ready to take him number three overall. The Hawks are said to be equally high on Bagley and Michigan State big man Jaren Jackson Jr. The Hawks seem to have moved off Trae Young despite weeks of signals that he was their guy. The Hawks are still considered a team to watch in trade down situations, but it's looking more likely they will use the third pick, and Dončić could be their guy if Bagley is off the board at number two.
The fourth pick is said to be very much in play with the Grizzlies continuing to explore deals to shed contract money (Chandler Parsons) and picking up rookie scale talent or picks later in the draft. The Grizzlies struggled to get top level players to come in for visits and workouts, and many believe they'd rather trade down than draft a player that may not want to be there. If the Grizzlies keep the pick, the belief is it will be Jackson, although his camp has reportedly refused to provide medical information to the Grizzlies and that's a huge red flag.
The Dallas Mavericks at five have a few options with both Wendell Carter Jr. and Mo Bamba being the likely targets. There is a scenario in which Dallas grabs not only the Grizzlies pick at four but retains their own pick at five and takes on Parson who they have a history with. The Mavericks have explored deals all over the place to leverage their existing cap room to obtain talent and assets.
The Orlando Magic at six seem to be all over the place; there were reports that the Magic may have Collin Sexton higher on their board than fan favorite Trae Young, which would line up with commentary that started around the team in early April. The Magic have kept their process somewhat quiet, but there is a real chance the Magic grab Sexton at six if the draft plays out as currently scripted.
The Chicago Bulls at seven could catch a lot of interesting options including both Porter and Bamba. The Bulls were the first team to see Porter and their medical staff did the physical that was circulated to teams. While the upside on Porter is very real, there isn't a sense the Bulls are ready to pull the trigger despite what Bulls fans may want so that it could be an interesting scenario to watch.
The Cleveland Cavaliers at eight could find themselves with a lot to choose from. The Cavaliers had a last-minute clandestine workout with Trae Young this week and have been rumored to be very high on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. If the draft plays out as scripted the Cavs could have their choice of Young, Porter or Bamba and that would be a massive win for the Cavs.
On the trade front league source have pegged Orlando, Charlotte, Dallas, and Miami as teams to watch on the trade front, all of them seem to be willing to make big moves if deals present themselves.
There were reports last night that the San Antonio Spurs and disgruntled star Kawhi Leonard were able to meet face to face. There still is not a sense that the Spurs will pull the trigger on a trade, expect that to take shape today if they decide to open the phones on Leonard.

Version: 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 6.0
Benny's Notebook: Fine, I'll relent: Luka Dončić, sadly, finally drops in my mock. There's too much noise to ignore it any longer. While I'm willing to admit that there's plenty to like about DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, and Jaren Jackson Jr., I still believe that Dončić will be the best player in this class. If he does fall to Memphis, how great of a fit would that be? Even if there are doubts about Dončić's ceiling, putting his NBA-ready game in alongside Mike Conley and Marc Gasol would be an instant victory for the Grizzlies. At just 19 years old, Dončić has already won most of what Europe had to offer — he'd be an excellent catch for Memphis after their nightmare season.
I suppose there is only one mock draft left before the real deal and I really thought I would have moved Michael Porter Jr. up by now. His volatility could shake up the entire lottery — but his workout in Chicago went extremely well, apparently. Out of all the names in the mix for a top seven selection, Porter Jr. remains the one with most intrigue — expect lots more to come here over the next week. Finally, the New York Knicks are doing their due diligence ahead of their pick at No. 9 overall, working out Lonnie Walker, Robert Williams, Aaron Holiday, Kevin Knox, Miles Bridges and others as of late. With Kristaps Porzingis out for the foreseeable future, this is certainly an important selection for New York.
Moke's Notebook: We've had quite a bit of action the past week, with the Suns seemingly going out of their way to give us some drama at the top of the draft. I've been told by a few people in the know that they've settled on DeAndre Ayton as their guy, but that they're doing their "due diligence" on other prospects, most notably Jaren Jackson, Jr. and Trae Young. I can't see the Suns passing on Ayton for either of those guys, so I've still got him tabbed as my top overall pick.
Jackson's stock has risen quite dramatically, and whether the Kings hold on to their pick or trade back (which they've been rumored to be considering), I could see him and Bagley III swapping places as the second and third players drafted. Luka Doncic probably won't slip past the Grizzlies at four, but it's worth noting that stock of Michael Porter, Jr. has risen incredibly high. There was an ESPN report out of New York this past week that's consistent with what I've been saying since the Combine: Porter is the dream scenario for the Knicks. I could see them engaging the Hawks on a trade involving the 9th pick and Frank Ntilikina for the 3rd pick. That wouldn't surprise me in the least, though I'm sure the Knicks would prefer to include a player like Trey Burke.
As we get to the mid-to-late lottery, I won't lie, there's quite a bit of guessing. The main reason why is because most teams covet the same players, and to a large extent, the teams in the latter half of the lottery will be forced to settle on the second of third ranked prospects on their big board. Two guys who might get drafted much higher than we're projecting, though, are Lonnie Walker and Jalen Brunson.
After this week, we've got one more shot at a solid mock draft, as we are just eight days away from the real thing. Hopefully, we'll get some additional intel.
Jesse's Notebook: While workouts continue and players like Luka Dončić commit to staying in the draft, there are still a wide range of scenarios that can play out. The Sacramento Kings have scouted Dončić but they reportedly have strong interest in other players and could look to trade down to extract more value in the draft. There seem to be several viable trade scenarios that could shake up the board and throw all mock drafts off the rails. The Clippers, armed with the 12th and 13th picks, could push to trade up in the draft and acquire a top-10 player. However, it looks like Los Angeles will have some notable talent to choose from when they are on the board.
There is still no consensus on the overall health of Michael Porter Jr. It appears that he continues to round into shape but the long-term concern is something teams have to consider. There seems to be little risk that Porter Jr. drops out of the top-10 at this point, but it's tough to pin down where he may ultimately land. If Porter Jr. overcomes his health issues, the team that selects him could end up with the best player from this draft class.
Elie Okobo has generated some positive momentum and seems likely to be selected in the first round. Okobo has potential on both ends of the floor and could be a surprisingly effective player if he ends up with a team that puts particular emphasis in building up his overall skill set.
Steve's Notebook: As things are starting to take some shape at the top of the 2018 NBA Draft, there are some things to watch in the final week of the draft process. It seems the Phoenix Suns are locked in on DeAndre Ayton. The Suns have been leveraging the power of the top overall pick to get looks at the other top names in the class, but the overwhelming belief in NBA circles and what's coming out of Phoenix is Ayton is the guy.
The Sacramento Kings at number two still seems fairly wide open. The prevailing thought in NBA circles is the Kings have serious eyes for Michael Porter Jr., however that's far from locked in according to sources close to the process. The shortlist in Sacramento seems to be Porter, Jaren Jackson Jr., Marvin Bagley III, and Luka Dončić. The Kings don't seem to be locked in on Dončić, but sources close to the team say he is still very much in the conversation.
The Hawks at number three get interesting because they still seem to be open to trading their pick, but only if they can net Trae Young in the process and gain more assets, either additional picks or young guys on rookie scale contracts. There is a sense that the Hawks are trying to move Dennis Schröder around the draft. It's unclear if there is any real value to have for the Hawks, but they seem more than open to it. It is not out of the question the Hawks take Young at three, so that could be an interesting draft domino.
Some other draft scuttle is that UCLA guard Aaron Holiday may have a promise in the mid-teens; word is he has been invited to the NBA Draft Greenroom.
Kentucky forward Kevin Knox could be the Cavaliers' guy at number eight. His floor is expected to the be the Clippers at 12.
The Lakers, Clippers, and Celtics have all explored move-up options, but at this point, it does not seem like any of them are willing to pay a hefty premium to move up, but they are situations to watch as the draft unfolds, especially if players start to fall in a very unexpected sequence.
There will be one more Mock Draft on Wednesday of next week, so stay tuned.

Version: 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0
Benny's Notebook: It's June! Draft month is finally upon us, which means the player pool is set and boards are starting to solidify. For now, my top half of the draft remains unchanged — but if there's a late riser left, look no further than Lonnie Walker. He's been impressive throughout the draft process thus far, so, needless to say, this is not an unpopular opinion. Walker only averaged 11.5 points and 1.9 assists as a freshman at the University of Miami, but the NBA-worthy skillset is apparent. His uber-athletic and explosive first step makes Walker difficult to defend and his 6-foot-4, 200-pound fame only adds to that scoring prowess. At just 19 years old, Walker could become one of the best guards in the draft, which is high praise considering the others around him.
After that, there's a pair of highly-touted European prospects worth checking in on, Džanan Musa and Élie Okobo — both of whom seem destined for late first-round selections. Although Musa has slipped a little of late, the 6-foot-9 Bosnian sharpshooter could be an absolute force with the right coaching. His defense certainly needs work, but Musa can already score in a whole variety of ways. Imagine getting him under the tutorship of Brad Stevens or Gregg Popovich — then the possibilities are truly endless.
Okobo, on the other hand, has been a recent riser and it's not hard to see why. In France, he averaged 12.9 points and 4.8 assists on 39.4 percent from three-point range. Last summer, Okobo won a bronze medal at the FIBA Europe U-20 Championship and seems poised to become a regular on the senior team soon enough. Oh, and he also dropped 44 points on 8-for-11 from deep in a postseason game against AS Monaco in May. At 20 years old, Okobo looks like he might be just scratching the surface — so which team will take the plunge?
Moke's Notebook: Things are starting to get very, very interesting. Although my lottery picks are mostly the same as they were last week, there's a growing sense among those with whom I've spoken that Trae Young has a shot at going as high as third to the Atlanta Hawks. If the Orlando Magic do indeed lose out on Young (I've been told he's in consideration for them) then I wouldn't be surprised to see them land on either Kevin Knox (whom they had in for a workout this week) or Michael Porter, Jr. There's still a fair amount of reservation surrounding Porter, though, but the general consensus seems to be that he won't get past the Knicks at ninth. The Knicks are said to be looking for the either Young or Porter to fall to them, and if not, then Knox and Colin Sexton would be the next two on their depth chart. Either way, it's still pretty early in the process, as most of the top prospects are just beginning to do their individual workouts.
While I do think this draft is rich with talent, from a depth standpoint, the general thought is that there are five players who have star potential, another five who will be solid role players and quite a few diamonds in the rough. Nobody knows who those diamonds are yet, which is why you'll see a fair amount of volatility once you get outside of the lottery.
It's looking like Keita Bates-Diop and Donte DiVicenzo will be available in the 20s, and I think either would present good value at those spots.
If Wendell Carter falls to the Clippers at 12th (definitely possible if the Mavericks take Mo Bamba), they might have cause for celebration.
This is how I see things stacking up based on what I've heard. Let's see where we are next week.
Jesse's Notebook: There is still no consensus clarity on what the Sacramento Kings will do with the second overall pick but I now think there's a solid chance they pass on Luka Dončić. If Dončić falls to No. 4, expect the Memphis Grizzlies to take him. The Grizzlies want someone who can step out onto an NBA court and contribute immediately, and that's Dončić.
We are starting to get some more clarity on how things may shake out after the Lottery picks but things could change a lot from now until draft night. This draft has a lot depth in terms of potential role players, but it doesn't feature many prospects outside of the Lottery who have star potential. Thus, team need and fit is likely going to be a determining factor more than overall talent once we get outside of the top-14 picks (or around that area). So if a couple of teams decide to reach on a player or two, it could throw off the entire board and throw off projections.
The most interesting group of players to keep an eye on are the wing players. There is plenty of depth at this position and teams could start zoning in on their preferred wing players as they come in for workouts.
Steve's Notebook: With less than two weeks remaining until NBA teams must lock in on their picks, things are going to get real from here. Most of the marquee players are either scheduled to visit or have started to visit NBA teams, and many are holding their own "controlled" Pro-Days. Teams are often mixed on the value of a Pro-Day, mainly because they are typically run by the player's personal trainers and are designed to showcase not only the player, but the trainer too.
Marquee level players also rarely workout against anyone. So, what do you really learn from a guy running drills he runs every day against a chair or thin air? Hence the draft myth of how good a player did against the chair or worse yet, when he fails to perform and loses to the proverbial chair.
A good agent will tell you the worst thing you can do is get a silly contact-related injury prior to the draft. NBA Draft history is littered with high-level prospects who get a significant injury while training and can't workout for teams at the level or frequency they would need to solidify a higher draft position.
The other part of the Pro-Day is using the audience a marquee player draws from NBA scouts and executives to showcase lesser draft prospects that may be represented by the same agent or have the same trainer. This can be an added value for those players that might not have gotten a top tier decision maker to really look at them.
Once the Pro-Day cycle ends things will get serious. For some players, this is when they will start asking for firm commitments to establish a "floor," or the lowest point in the draft a player might go. If a player doesn't have a floor going into next week, they may be in for a long draft night.
It is not uncommon for players at the top of the board to agree to a workout a little outside their projected range to ensure they have a floor they are comfortable with. So, look for the odd workout or team meeting to surface next week as players try to lock in a floor.
Specific to this draft, Michael Porter Jr.'s Pro-Day seems to be the key to who he will ultimately share medical with and workout out for. The narrative around his situation is once teams see him and are ready to commit, they will make their decision on who to visit and who they will share medical information with.
On the surface, all of this sounds too calculated, but in reality, there is a business behind the draft. For the players and agents involved, there is a desire to work the process to the best of their ability, because at the end of the draft where you get drafted, usually isn't nearly as important as the fit of the situations. Searching for the right fit is why so many agents and players work the process to ensure they land in the best situation to have a long and fruitful career.

NBA Daily: 2018 60-Pick NBA Mock Draft – 6/5/18
With the 2018 NBA Draft less than three weeks away, Basketball Insiders publisher Steve Kyler offers up his latest 60-pick NBA Mock Draft.
With more than 100 draft eligible prospects pulling out of the 2018 NBA Draft, there is a little more clarity on who is really draftable, and some slots are starting to become a little more transparent, not only with players pulling out of the draft but also with NBA teams starting their individual workouts.
Here is the latest 60-pick NBA Mock Draft, look for the weekly Consensus Mock draft to drop on Wednesday.
Dates To Know:
While more than a 100 early-entry candidates have already announced their intention to withdraw from the 2018 NBA Draft, the NBA's official draft withdrawal date is June 11 by 5:00 pm ET. The NBA's date allows a prospect to remain NBA draft eligible for future NBA drafts and is not related to any NCAA rule or date. There are ways for college players that did not accept benefits to return to college. However, they may be subject to NCAA penalties. Typically this date is when most international players make their final draft decisions.
The 2018 NBA Draft is June 21.
The Pick Swaps:
The Cleveland Cavaliers are owed the Brooklyn Nets' first-round pick as a result of the Kyrie Irving trade this past summer. The Brooklyn Nets traded several unprotected picks to Boston as part of the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trades in 2015.
The Philadelphia 76ers are owed the LA Lakers' 2018 Draft pick, unprotected, as a result of the 2012 Steve Nash trade with the Suns. The Suns traded that pick to the 76ers as part of the Michael Carter-Williams three-team trade with the Milwaukee in 2015. The 76ers traded that pick to the Boston Celtics as part of the draft pick trade that became Markelle Fultz before the draft; it has 2 through 5 protections. This pick will convey.
The LA Clippers are owed the Detroit Pistons first-round pick in 2018 as a result of the Blake Griffin trade.
The Phoenix Suns are owed the Miami HEAT's first-round pick as part of the Goran Dragic trade in 2015, it is top-seven protected and would convey to Phoenix based on the final NBA standings.
The Phoenix Suns were owed the Milwaukee Bucks' first-round pick as part of the Eric Bledsoe trade. The pick would only convey if the Bucks pick landed between the 11th and 16th pick, which based on the final NBA standings did not convey. The Suns will now receive the Bucks 2019 first-round pick assuming it falls between the fourth and 16th pick.
The Atlanta Hawks are owed the Minnesota Timberwolves' first-round pick as part of the Adreian Payne trade in 2015. The pick was lottery protected and would convey to Atlanta based on the final NBA standings.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are owed the Oklahoma City Thunder's first-round pick as part of the Jazz/Wolves Ricky Rubio trade this past summer. The Jazz acquired the pick as part of the Thunder's deal to obtain Enes Kanter in 2015. The pick was lottery protected and would convey based on the final NBA standings.
The Chicago Bulls are owed the New Orleans Pelicans first-round pick as a result of the Nikola Mirotic trade. The pick was top-five protected and based on the final NBA standings would convey
The LA Lakers are owed the Cleveland Cavaliers first-round pick as a result of Jordan Clarkson/Larry Nance Jr. trade. The pick was top-three protected and based on the final NBA standings would convey
The Brooklyn Nets are owed the Toronto Raptors' first-round pick as part of the DeMarre Carroll salary dump trade this past summer. The pick was lottery protected and based on the final NBA standings would convey
The Atlanta Hawks are owed the Houston Rockets' first-round pick as part of a three-team deal with the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets involving Danilo Gallinari and taking back Jamal Crawford and Diamond Stone. The pick was top-three protected and based on the final NBA standings would convey

Product Review Friday is comin' at ya!
We have another couple more adult products from SexToy.com today. The Dr Dick Review Crew members — Angie and Jada do the show and tell. Let's get right to it!
I have the pleasure of introducing you to a wonderful educational DVD for couples. This is the very first video of its kind that I've ever seen. And I must say, I liked it very much.
I've watched some porn in my day. I can't say that it turns me on all that much, especially the stuff that my husband enjoys. I know it's all fantasy and I know that most of it is purposely geared to horny straight males, but the women in the movies are almost always characteratures; nothing more than sexual objects and bimbos. I find that annoying and not the least bit sexy.
I know this is going to sound weird coming from a straight married woman of my age, but I really like gay porn. There, I've finally said it out loud.
Anyhow, back to the Erotic Sex Positions DVD. This is sure enough sexually explicit, but it definitely isn't porn. It's instructional in nature. It's presented by two women who work in porn — Crystal Lowe and Natasha Ray. This is a big plus in my book. They set a perfect tone for what we see in this DVD. By the way, they also collaborated on another video — 'Seductive Sex Positions'.
This DVD features 27 erotic techniques and sexual positions. It has an instructional play mode and a lovemaking play mode. So you can use it to learn something new or use it as background sexual enhancement. There are three different couples in the movie, which adds to the interest level. It has what they call a 'Tantalizing Foreplay Teaser,' which is also fun. And there are interactive menus too. In other words, this is a pretty elaborate presentation and very professionally produced.
The hosts provide instructions while the couples demonstrate. Some of the positions are for the more adventurous. And frankly, one would need to be very fit, trim, lithe and supple to pull them off. But they were fun to watch nonetheless even if my husband and I could never do them.

Rechargeable Infrared Playpal —— $23.43
What we have here is a 7-inch, hard plastic, waterproof, rechargeable, dual-speed vibe. And if California Exotic, the manufacturer of the Rechargeable Infrared Playpal, had left it at that I'd have a sturdy basic vibe that I could recommend.
Unfortunately they decided to add some kind of cockamamie infrared heating element on the tip of the massager and they messed up the whole damn thing in the process.
Not only does the heating element not noticeably warm up, but in order to place it in the tip of the vibe they had to add this rubber flange or seal so as to keep the thing waterproof. And there in lies the problem. This flange, or whatever you call it, has a completely different texture than the hard smooth plastic. So even with lube this becomes a major sticking point, both literally and figuratively. It makes it impossible to be used on delicate parts, let alone insertion. Think of it rubber patch on a slippery slide. All is well till you hit that patch; then look out! This is particularly true for use in water where lube would be ineffectual.
From the looks of the package this item is designed to appeal to a younger crowd. And perhaps younger people have yet to acquire the ability to discern between a good product and one that sucks…and not in a good way.

text: I know that this is an old thread, but I'm really hoping this is the issue with my 6 month old daughter! She has green diarrhea with some blood everyday! I've tried block feeding, but I guess I'd never been really consistent about it. I'm also shocked to see that it took you 4 days to start seeing yellow poops! That may have been why I kept giving up on block feeding before and thought that wasn't the cause. I'd eliminated so much from my diet!!! I know she is sensitive to dairy and eggs though. I kept thinking I was "starving" her by block feeding! Thanks so much for posting this!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Rosa Drummond and Ellie Giles combined for 34 points in Smith College's 52-39 victory over host MIT in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's basketball game on Saturday afternoon. Rachel Hunt paced the Engineers with 14 points and seven blocks to go along with six rebounds.
The Pioneers, who improved to 15-9 on the year and 12-6 in conference play, will continue action next week as the No. 3 seed in the NEWMAC Championship Tournament. MIT, meanwhile, concluded its season with an overall record of 8-16 and a 4-14 performance in the NEWMAC.
Courtesy of a Lauren Sascha Burton three-pointer, the Cardinal and Gray extended its margin to 8-4 at the 13:23 mark. Smith responded with a 17-4 run over the course of the next seven minutes to take the lead for good. Drummond registered 11 of her first-half 13 points during the stretch. MIT continued to attack, eventually closing the gap to six (25-19) on Hunt's layup 10 seconds before halftime.
Smith's advantage grew to double-digits (35-25) during the first five minutes of the second stanza. The Pioneers maintained their comfortable margin despite the Engineers' cutting their deficit to eight multiple times, the last at 41-33 with 7:29 left to play. A pair of free throws followed by a jumper from Giles helped the visitors close out the game with an 11-6 spurt.
Burton finished the game with nine points as Tamara Pena totaled eight points, four rebounds, and four steals. Anna Merrifield collected eight boards, three steals, and two blocks for the Engineers.
Drummond led all scorers with 18 points and added eight rebounds and two steals. Giles racked up 16 points and a game-high nine rebounds coming off the bench. Sydney Parkmond bolstered the rebounding corps with six caroms while Marissa Munoz-Ruiz and Libby Dutton dished out four and three assists, respectively. Lizzy BelBruno paced the Pioneers with four steals as Devon Quattrocchi snagged two of her own.

Question: As a catechist I have been reading up on the Sacrament of Confirmation, but I am confused. In Church documents, confirmation is spoken of as a sacrament of initiation. How can there be a further sacrament of initiation after first Communion? How can I teach about confirmation in eighth grade?
— Name and address withheld
Answer: There is a great deal of confusion surrounding the celebration of confirmation after first Communion. You are correct in your assessment that confirmation is a sacrament of initiation; but it can only be this if it is celebrated before first Communion.
In Catholic tradition, baptism is the beginning of initiation, confirmation is the continuation of initiation and (first) Communion is the completion of the process. This order is the norm for the baptism of children in danger of death, for children of catechetical age, for all those who go through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, for those baptized but never catechized or given confirmation and first Communion, and for those in danger of death. This order is the norm for the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches, and was the norm for the first 20 centuries of the Latin-rite Church.
It is difficult to catechize for confirmation people in eighth grade who have already received first Communion. Certainly one cannot use initiation language. To do so goes against 20 centuries of Catholic theology and practice.
I am among those who hope that the dis-order in the sacraments of initiation will be redressed eventually. This, I hope, may occur in the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. This would lead to the complete restoration of the order of baptism-confirmation-Eucharist.
In the meantime, I encourage catechists preparing eighth-graders for confirmation to avoid initiation language and to treat the Sacrament of Confirmation as an opportunity for candidates to renew their faith in a general way. Confirmation programs could be adapted to help review theological and moral tenets of the faith.
Incense and the liturgy
Question: Why is incense used in the liturgy? Particularly at the end of funerals?
—Tracy, Trenton, N.J.
Answer: Generally, incense is used in the liturgy as a means of blessing God and expressing adoration of him. As incense rises up to heaven, so the Church expresses its desire that its prayer rise up and give glory to God. Reference to incense is found in Psalm 141: "Let my prayer be incense before you." In the Book of Revelation we are told, "The smoke of the incense along with the prayers of the holy ones went up before God" (8:4).
In the final commendation in the liturgy of funerals, the use of incense is especially recommended. Incensation is accompanied by a song of farewell, which says, "Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the Most High."
The Order of Christian Funerals explains: "Incense is used during the funeral rites as a sign of honor to the body of the deceased, which through baptism became the temple of the Holy Spirit. Incense is also used as a sign of the community's prayers for the deceased rising to the throne of God and as a sign of farewell" (No. 37).
In short, incense shows honor to the body of the deceased, signifies our hope that his or her soul (and body) will rise to heaven, and signifies the heavenward prayer of the Church.

Looking for HAIG of New Zealand
My Great-Grandparents, James and Isabella Haig arrived in Lyttelton NZ aboard the maiden voyage of the Canterbury from Clydeside Scotland. With them were their Children: William Reid b 09/09/1858-my Grandfather), Mary Jack (b10/09/1860) - who married George Martin; James Alexander Allison (b27/08/1863); Margaret Blair (b31/08/1868) - died Kaiapoi NZ unmarried; John Mcewan (b 25/04/1872) m Beatrice Jane Dowdle. Isabella then gave birth to Alexander Blair and Joseph Boyd Marquis in NZ. My Great-Great-Grandparents were James and Mary (nee Jack) of Lanark Glasgow. James parents it appears were William Haig and Marion McFarlane.
Apart from my own direct line from William Reid Haig, I know very little of his other 6 siblings or their offspring. When I was born my Father (William Bruce Haig) was 43, and considerably younger than his four Sisters. Unfortunately all of that generation has passed on - and being of dour Scots lineage, did not say or record very much at all of their past. Any help gratefully received.

SEC M5: 02.28.14 EditionPosted by Greg Mitchell on February 28th, 2014
- Chris Mannix's NBA Big Board 4.0 has three SEC players on it, all of them Wildcats. None of the three, however, has the last name of Harrison. Mannix has Julius Randle at #4, James Young at #14 and Willie Cauley-Stein at #15. He writes that Cauley-Stein has the tools to be a solid defensive presence but his "lack of consistency is alarming." This makes me wonder whether it would make sense for him to hold back on the NBA yet again? Cauley-Stein will always have a place in the league, at least for a few years; his seven-foot frame and athleticism virtually guarantee that. While going in the middle of the first round is attractive, if he were to stay another year and show a bit more consistency and development, he could potentially crack the lottery in a weaker draft class. That could be a decision worth several million dollars, but there's also risk associated with it. In a somewhat smaller role, his rebounding and shooting percentages are down, and a similar setback next season could start to raise serious questions about his commitment. The point is that Cauley-Stein should at least consider hanging around Lexington another year. Again.
- LSU has gone over a week without a bad loss, and that's an accomplishment in the SEC's middle class. Their RPI is still too high (#66) to seriously be in the NCAA Tournament discussion, and as Brian pointed out yesterday on Twitter, Tennessee is the best bet for a third SEC bid. Still, LSU has a potential ace in its pocket. If the Tigers can somehow, someway, win at Florida this weekend, they'll vault themselves right into the picture. It's not likely, but LSU did play a great game at Rupp Arena last weekend and Florida hasn't blown many teams away recently. Jarell Martin continuing the improvement he showed against Texas A&M could go a long way in LSU pulling off the upset. The freshman scored 20 points in part by tweaking his shooting form by going straight up more often and not falling back. "We had to double on Johnny O'Bryant so much that Jarell was just spotting up and shooting threes," Billy Kennedy said. "He's a McDonald's All-American and played like it." That's the encouraging thing about LSU making a late run: The Tigers don't lack for talent.
- Ole Miss will be without Derrick Millinghaus for the foreseeable future, as the sophomore guard has been suspended indefinitely. This caps off a disappointing season for Millinghaus. Despite getting six more minutes per game this season his usage rate has been virtually identical to what it was as a freshman. His PER (9.0) and true shooting percentage (37.7%) have both sharply declined, and his results have been especially poor lately. In the last three games he's played 39 minutes, and scored five points on seven shots. Millinghaus has the ability to put up points, but is the type of player that needs a high volume of shots to do so. That simply isn't a good fit alongside Marshall Henderson. But Henderson will be gone next season, and Millinghaus (if whatever spawned this suspension doesn't linger) could be a candidate to replace some of those shots and points. In short, this suspension doesn't hurt the Rebels much the rest of the way, but Millinghaus can still be a big part of their future.
- Matt Norlander has an interesting look at Billy Donovan's career that is steeped in historical nuggets. Donovan will almost certainly get to 500 wins before he turns 50 and he has a legitimate chance to become only the sixth coach with three or more national titles. He definitely already gets recognized as a great coach, but Donovan seems to always slip through the cracks when the "elite coaches" discussion gets going. That's obviously not a scientific statement, just based off a feeling. If Florida were to win the title this year, what would there be left for Donovan to prove? Putting together two completely different championship teams just about does it. To connect this team to the Al Horford/Joakim Noah teams, you need to go back to when these seniors were freshmen playing with Chandler Parsons and Nick Calathes, who played with Walter Hodge and Mareese Speights when they were freshmen. That's a lot of good recruiting and coaching. Would winning this year be enough for Donovan to finally make a (permanent) jump to the NBA? On a non-Donovan note, Norlander also mentioned Adolph Rupp's "Cy Young-like unbreakable record" of being the fastest coach to reach 500 wins, in only 583 games. No matter in what era the achievement was reached, that is insanity.
- If you want to be called an idiot, just walk up to Kevin Stallings and suggest that Cuonzo Martin should be fired. The Vanderbilt coach went on the offensive to protect his in-state counterpart. "Hopefully, the powers that be over at Tennessee will tune those idiots out and give [Martin] the kind of time he deserves to do the job he needs to do," Stallings said. This is an admirable coaching fraternity defense, but also goes deeper as Stallings and Martin both come from the Gene Keady-Purdue tree. On Wednesday we wrote about the growing calls for Bruce Pearl around the Tennessee program. And this makes sense, especially if Martin misses the NCAA tournament this year. It's a difficult situation to really get a handle on because it is unique. Martin may be a good coach: he comes from a good coaching tree and did build a winning program at Missouri State, and you can't always establish yourself in three years. But the pressure is ratcheted up on Martin with the fan favorite and uber successful Pearl still living in Knoxville and being visible on ESPN.

I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful town and art colony of Marfa, Texas while directing a fashion campaign film. It's such an interesting visual place I thought I'd post some of the location scout photos I took. I've never been anywhere quite like it. I think I connected to it because it's almost like a warm version of the town I grew up in Woodstock, New York.
There are a few really incredible destinations but my favorite was a quaint retail shop called Freda owned by Susannah Lipsey. It's an amazing place where you can get a full spectrum of goods from Rodarte hoodies to hand painted arrows. What's unique about the boutique and the town is it isn't trying to be something it's not. Everything is so much about rendered high concept nowadays and this place is about living... The patina is real.

Background and context Edit
Pop star Justin Bieber has been making girls under 13 falling in love with him, but as much as girls like him, many of the toughest dudes around such as Metalheads and Confederate Waver Flag Bikers have been planning to beat up the pop singer, mainly because they think he's gay. More recently, they got so sick of it that they went to the White House, and confronted president Barack Obama to ban Justin Bieber to the 3rd World, (Mexico for the percentage of idiotic Americans). But the Defenders do NOT want Justin Bieber gone. In fact, they want him to be the supreme overlord of the world, and make the guys be like him. So what's the answer, yes or no?
Will Justin Bieber REALLY be banned to Mexico?Edit
Reason why? Simple, because he's gay as hell. I mean COME ON! Does it really take a boat load of rocket science to figure out how terrible his voice is, not to mention his overrated hair and style of clothing? The world has always been about Heavy Metal and Hard Rock music, and the last thing we need is some other gay-ass pop star to fuck everything up. Simply more retarded than Justin Timberlake.
National Security: Is the pop singer really destroying ways of life, and that we should ban ALL things mainstream and send them to Mexico where Swine Flu is still going on to this day?Edit
Not only is he possibly a homosexual, but he's also another pop star that represents the corrupted ways of life. The list goes on about those reasons, because he doesn't really care about fans! The reason why he does this in the first place is because of the money that the today's economy is throwing out. Just so he can have it all and be like one of those pompus assholes that makes the percentage of regular Americans look bad.
That is NOT TRUE! He does not care about the money! Reason? He cares about the dying environment, and how people should listen to Disney Channel and help save it by
Metalheads & Bikers: Because we don't want to be possibly homosexuals that represent the same old music industries that's been shoving shitty records down people's throats? Does that cover your answers?Edit
Because we don't want to be possibly homosexuals that represent the same old music industries that's been shoving shitty records down people's throats? Does that cover your answers? Man, it's like every time we all try to prove our points, a bunch of teeny-boppers always try to bring us down.
Oh, just shut the hell up. All of you idiots remind us girls of our mothers when they all had too many drinks on karaoke night!
Yeah well, in our opinions overall is that Justin Bieber is NOTHING but some other singer pop singer that was born from the idiot music industry! And not only has he disgraced the world with his bad singing, gay hair, and pathetic clothing, he also single handedly DESTROYED the world of regular music. I mean, what king of guy sings like a girl putting out dumb tunes such as baby, baby, bay ohhhhhh!!!!!!! Fuck, I even bet that he's not singing about you teeny-bopper girls, in fact probably singing about babies considering that he can be a CHILD MOLESTER!!!!!!!!
WHA-HEH-HEH-HEH-HEHHHHHH!!!!! (crying noises). YOU BASTARDS MAKE US SAD!! C'MON GIRLS! WE ARE OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if you hate Justin Bieber! He is here to stay and here to make the world of music better. And by that, I mean everybody listening to pop music, and not that garbage Heavy Metal crap that keeps bringing down the environment! (Justin Bieber is Ultimate Douchebag)Justin Beiber is GAY
The AnswerEdit
It's official, Justin Bieber is out of the country, and so is the other guys. Looks like they're going to spend some time fighting off AIDS and swine flu for a long time, and the best part was, that the debate was actually pretty easy. I mean, why didn't we just ban him quick as possible
Voice of the EditorEdit
Hello everyone. To those who have read this article wondered if I hated or love Rock & Roll. Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm a metalhead, myself. Not only that, I have a strong hatred for Justin Bieber and actually wish that he was gone. So I did this for the tribute of both Metalheads and Bikers. And that's it.

Simone's Down To Earth Kitchen
It's easy to showcase a million dollar kitchen as a source of inspiration, but are those unattainable inspirations entirely helpful? I find it much more satisfying to see a down-to-earth kitchen — one that I know I can offer me real life inspiration. Simone's kitchen is just such an inspiring kitchen.
Simone's kitchen is exactly that — down to earth and attainable. She didn't fill her kitchen with the lastest technologies or $500 cookware. She embraces the rustic vintage quality of most homes in the LA area and chose the decor accordingly.
The orange wall color is a perfect way to smile at the many years the kitchen has seen. Simone perfectly accessorized the space with vintage items. Take a trip to your local flea market this weekend and you can certainly get this look!

The purpose of this book is to convey to a non-Muslim audience an understanding of Islam, its history, culture, and contribution to civilization.
The mix of an easy-to-read text and visual representations including maps, charts, pictures, and drawings with informative captions explains the important message of Islam in a way that the reader will hopefully find thoughtful and appealing. Relevant verses of the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet (Hadith) have been included where appropriate, as support for the narrative, and their interspersing sets out their relevant importance. The Arabic text of the Qur'an was also included because no translation can do it justice.
Most of the Qur'an quotes were translated by me in reliance upon several published translations, especially The Holy Qur'an translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali (Khalil Al-Rawaf, 1946). My translation was done with a view to make the non-Arabic reader better understand the intended meaning.
This is both an informative and an artistic book which covers many aspects of Islam: religious, historical, geographic, social, legal, political, economic, cultural, scientific, and artistic. These aspects are dealt with in a way which at times may seem cursory but this does not forsake accuracy or depth.
The primary goal of this book is to inform those who know little or nothing about Islam and to enhance their understanding. As an educator that is all I can ask for and as a Muslim, that is all I can aspire to. But as a member of the family of humankind I would feel gratified if this book can lead to a better understanding among peoples of the world and thus contribute to peace and harmony in our universe. Whether all or some of these expectations will be fulfilled is some thing the reader will have to judge.

My name is Diwakaran. I am a 53 year old widower, living near Cochin, in the state of Kerala, in India. I was leading a decent middle class life, until my wife expired last year. This is my real life story. Though I am totally ashamed of myself and my actions, I have only written this, to make other widowers like me, aware of the dangers of loneliness and also the dangers of staying alone with their daughters, during such times of loneliness in life .
My wife and I have only one daughter. Her name is Anuradha. Since she was our only daughter, we loved her very much. Anuradha too loved us a lot. Like any daughter, I suppose that she even loved me more, as I was her father. We got her married very early in the year 2001, when she was 18 years of age. Anuradha had a happy married life and gave birth to two children, within the next 4 years. Tragedy stuck in the month of January, this year. In a car accident, her husband passed away. My daughter became a widow. She was only 22 years of age. At such a tender age, now she had the responsibility of bringing up 2 little children. My daughter stayed from January 2006 with her in-laws. As they lived in a joint family and as I lived alone, in the month of October this year, they suggested that Anuradha and her children should come and live with me, from Deepawali onwards. At that point, from the time my wife had expired in 2005, I had been living all alone. For two years, there was no woman in my house. I was depressed and frustrated at my loneliness.
So, when my daughter and her children came to live with me, I was over-joyed to have their company. I had a small house – one living room, two bed-rooms, kitchen, and the usual bath-room, with a WC. Since the rooms were small, each bed-room had space for only one bed. Anuradha and her children occupied one bed-room and I slept in the other bed-room. My daughter took charge of all the needs of the house – in terms of cooking, cleaning, washing etc. She kept the house clean and made sure that, I was served coffee, milk, breakfast, lunch and dinner on time. For one month, things were fine. One day, during the 3rd week of November, when I woke up early in the morning, I found Anuradha asleep on a mat in the living room! I woke her up.
I asked her, " Anu, what happened? Why are you sleeping here? Why are you not sleeping on the bed, in your room, with your children? "
She replied, " Oh Papa! There is almost no place on the bed. Your grand-children toss and turn and kick their legs while sleeping. It was so disturbing, that I came here and slept "
I said, " You should have woken me up. I would have come and slept on this mat in the living room and you could have slept on my bed, in my bed-room "
She replied, " No Papa. That is your and my late mummy's bed. I did not wish to be a nuisance "
I said, " Anu, what is this? You are my daughter. Though you have become a mother of two children, yet, you are still my child. So dont talk nonsense. From tonight, let your children use the bed in your bed-room, you sleep on my bed and I shall come and sleep here, in the living room "
She said, " No Papa. I dont want you to sleep on the floor, so let me sleep here. It is no problem for me. You continue sleeping on your bed "
I firmly said, " No Anu, you will sleep on my bed and I will sleep on the floor here. That is final. Now – no arguments "
She said, " OK Papa. But, I dont want you to sleep on the floor. If you insist that I should sleep on your bed, then I have an idea. Look Papa, is it OK with you, if I come and sleep on your bed, along side with you? Afterall I am your daughter and have slept on your bed along side you, so many times, during my child-hood "
I should have thought about the dangers. I should have thought well, before answering. Foolishly, I did not. I simply did not want my own daughter to be disappointed. Afterall she was simply being affectionate. So without any vision, in order not to hurt her,
I replied, " OK Anu, from tonight, after putting your children to sleep in their room, you come and sleep on my bed, beside me! Happy now? "
She replied happily, " Yes Papa. Like old times. I can still recollect all those nights during my child-hood, when I used to sleep next to you and you used to tell me stories! "
That night, after dinner, I went to my bed and lay down on one side – leaving ample space for my daughter on the other side of the bed. For some reason, I could not sleep and was lying wide awake on my bed, in the darkness, as there was the usual nightly power-cut. After finishing all her work, my young daughter put her children to sleep. The door to my bed-room opened. I saw my daughter entering with a candle. She glanced at me. She thought that I was asleep. So, I too pretended to be asleep – but my eyes were slightly open, watching her. As the candle light, was too dim, she could not see my slightly open eyes. I looked at her, as she moved about silently in the semi-darkness, keeping some news-papers, on the shelf.
I had always looked upon my daughter, as a little girl. Though my daughter was the mother of two children, it was for the first time in the candle light, I realised that, she was a fully grown woman! She was beautiful. She had obviously had a bath. My daughter was very fair. Now with her white saree and blouse, she looked like an angel. I saw the out-line of her gorgeous breasts, from under the palloo of her saree. When she turned, I also noticed the out-line of her large and firm buttocks, from under her saree. As I watched her, I felt my penis getting erect. I had been without a woman for almost 2 years. Now that I was seeing a woman in my bed-room and that too – in the semi-darkness at night – I was getting sexually excited – though it was my own daughter! I was disgusted at myself!
Anuradha put off the candle. In the darkness, she came and lay down beside me. I was awake and hoping that she would not notice the erection under my dhoti! I could smell her fragrance. My erection was fully raging now. Within the next 10 minutes, I noticed that she had fallen asleep. I turned on my side to look at her. She looked so innocent. So beautiful. So tender. So delicate. It was sad that she had become a widow. Though my penis was erect and I felt like touching her exciting body, I knew my limits. Anu was my daughter. I dared not touch her. I tried to sleep and finally fell into a stupor.
After 2 hours, some movement on the bed, woke me. I saw that, in her deep sleep, Anu had turned and snuggled up close to me, like she used to, when she was a little girl. Her voluptous body touched mine. She had flung her left arm over me, hugging me. The only problem now was – she was not a child. She was a fully grown attractive and voluptous woman. And more importantly, I was a man, who had gone without a woman, for two years. My penis was once again erect! My heart was beating wildly. I started sweating! I was frightened. She had hugged me out of a daughter's trust and love, for her father. Not out of any sexual feeling. I did not wish to do anything foolish. I did not wish to be an idiot. But, no matter how much I tried, I could not control my own sexual excitement. A war was raging within me. A war between a father's feelings towards a daughter and a man's feelings towards a sexually attractive woman. After some time, she came more close to me and hugged me more tightly. She was whispering something in her sleep. I tried carefully and listened,
She whispered in Malayalam, " Vasu . Darling . I want you . I am aching for you . Come Darling . I am waiting! "
I was shocked and saddened too! Vasu was her late husband! My daughter was missing him sexually! God! She was not hugging me, with affection – as a daughter. She was dreaming that she was in bed with her late husband and hugging him – sexually! I realised that it was almost 10 months since her husband had expired and obviously my daughter was sexually frustrated. So here we were – both – a widower father and a widowed daughter, both sexually frustrated! Anuradha, now put her left leg over my legs. I could distinctly feel the heat from her crotch, seeping through her saree, through her petticoat and through my dhoti, directly onto my penis. Further, again in her sleep, she caught my head with her left hand and pushed it downwards, towards her breasts and began whispering again.
She whispered, " Vasu . Darling . here, take my nipples . the baby may wake up . so drink my milk . before he wakes up . but keep some for the baby! "
Though I am a father and I love my daughter as a father should, yet, I am also a man with human weaknesses. I knew that my daughter was breast feeding her baby. Now that she was virtually pushing my head towards her breasts, I did not resist. I allowed her to do so. But after pushing my head a few inches towards her breasts, to my disappointment, she turned. She was lying on her back with her head turned towards me, and I could tell that she was in a deep sleep. I got up slightly.
I crouched over her and whispered, " Anu, are you awake? "
Eliciting no response, I gently shook her shoulder to see if she would open her eyes. Again, no response. With my inhibitions disappearing, and my arousal growing, I grabbed the top of her saree palloo and slipped it down, to reveal her young breasts in her bra and blouse. I saw she was wearing a white bra inside her blouse. Very nervously I gazed at my daughter's body. Her breasts made the blouse, taught, across her chest. I ran my palm very lightly over the breasts and cupped them. I got more excited.
Ever so slowly, I began un-hooking her blouse and managed to open it completely. Now her lovely breasts were visible in her bra. I lightly touched her bra. I paused, checking her face again to see if she was waking. My hands were shaking at this point, and my knees felt ready to buckle. Taking a silent, deep breath, I turned her slowly to her left side. I un-hooked her bra and turned her again on her back. The sight was incredible. My young daughter's breasts were perfect. They were large, round and fleshy, with large, black and protruding nipples topping them off. Just the way I liked them.
Silently, I began fondling my widowed daughter's exciting breasts. I lightly pinched her nipples. Anuradha stirred in her sleep. Now, I simply could not control myself. I bent and took one of her nipples into my mouth. I started sucking upon it. Warm sweet milk started shooting into my mouth. This was my daughter's breast milk, meant for my grand-child. But, here I was – lustfully drinking my own daughter's breast milk! As I drank her milk, I got careless. I bit her nipple, while pinching her other nipple hard with my hand. Anuradha suddenly woke up. She was shocked to see that I had un-hooked her bra and blouse, was fondling one breast with my palm and was suckling upon her other breast.
She exclaimed, " Papa! What are you doing? "
With shame, I replied, " I am sorry Anu, I could not control myself. After your mother died, I have been with out a woman. Now, when you hugged me in your sleep, I simply could not control myself. I am really sorry! "
Even when I was saying sorry, I could not stop fondling her breasts. Anu looked at me sadly. She kept quiet for a long time. She was immersed in her own thoughts for a while. She just lay there without moving, or without talking.
I said, " Anu, I am really sorry Darling. I really am. I have been a beast "
She quietly removed my hand, from her breasts and said, " Papa! I understand. I understand that you miss Mummy. But, I am your own daughter. So, please do not do this "
I pleaded, " Anuradha, yes, I agree that this is wrong. But, I am not able to help myself. I must touch you and have you now! "
She exclaimed, " No Papa. Please. Please dont do this. I am a widow. I am the mother of your own grand-children. This is a sin. I can not face them and myself tomorrow, if you force yourself on me, tonight "
I said, " Anu dear, please allow me – only tonight. I am desperate to enjoy your body. Look, I have such a huge erection. Look how frustrated I am! Dont you love me anymore? Dont you care for my needs? Dont you want your Papa to be happy? "
She started crying and sobbed, " Papa, I have always loved you and still love you. But not like this. I love you as a daughter. So, please leave me now. I shall go and sleep in the living room now! "
I was afraid that she would leave the bed and go. I was so desperate that without waiting for her answer, I leaned on my daughter and kissed her. I again lowered my head over my daughter's breasts and sought her nipples, with my mouth. My daughter began struggling under me and tried to wriggle free, to run away. I caught her wrists and forced myself on her, to crush her under my weight and keep her from running away. She kept struggling, but could not move from under my weight. I opened my mouth and sucked her erect nipples into my mouth. My tongue was moving over her swollen breast. Finally she gave up struggling.
She sobbed, " Papa, is what you are doing to me, right? Is it not a sin? I know you want a woman to satisfy you. But cant you find some other woman Papa? I am your own daughter, afterall! "
I replied, " I know Darling. I am ashamed. But I am unable to control my feelings. I am excited now. I want you as a woman, tonight. I want to touch you, feel you, caress you and fuck you! Please dear, can we forget that we are father and daughter for tonight? Please? I am so desperate! "
Then quietly she said, " Papa, if you take me tonight, obviously, you would never be able to control yourself on other nights. That means I will have to become the woman in your life, to whom you have to come for your pleasure. In reality that means, I would become your mistress. Is that what you want? "
I said, " Yes, Anuradha, I am really sorry. But I need to enjoy, your lovely body tonight "
She said, " OK Papa. I understand that being a man, you have needs. And since you have been without mummy for so long, I understand. Do not be sorry. Its OK! You want to drink my milk, from my breasts Papa? OK – Drink it. Just leave some for your grand-son "
I fondled her breasts and again and pinched her nipples. I bit her tender breasts and sucked upon her swollen nipples. Gradually, she began moaning and moving her hands through my hair, as she thrust her nipples into my mouth. It was as if, my daughter was handing me, a precious, delicate gift. I suckled on her nipples and completely drank all my daughter's breast milk. Now, my daughter looked at me – silently.
She asked me, " Satisfied Papa? "
I replied, " Anuradha, I really dont know what to say. You are my daughter. But, frankly . well . I mean . if you are OK . then, I would like to do other things too! "
Again, she did not answer me, for a long time. I waited. My heart was beating fast and I was desperately hoping that she would allow me to make her mine.
I told her, " Anuradha, I want to see your cunt now "
She closed her eyes and parted her thighs. My hand moved to her legs and began pulling up her saree. I could see a white petticoat covering her legs. I pulled up the petticoat too, exposing my young Anu's lovely thighs. I pulled up the saree and petticoat further, to expose her vagina. Anu had not worn any panties. I was shocked. It was covered with so much, of black, curly, silky hair. Her cunt was completely matted with her thick pubic hair. I untied the rope of her petticoat and pulled it away from her, along with her saree, leaving her naked. She covered her face with shyness. I massaged my daughter's thighs and kneaded the fleshy mound of her amazingly hairy cunt. I ran my fingers, now and then, all along her crack, manipulating the labial swelling and teasing my daughter's clitoris. She couldn't bear the sensations. She widened her thighs and offered her cunt to my access, willingly. Then I pushed my middle finger into the slushiness of her crevice. My daughter lifted her buttocks a little and fucked back at my finger, exposing her own eagerness, shamelessly.
I now kissed my daughter's hairy cunt and played with her silky pubic hair. When the tip of my tongue probed into her engorged cunt lips, a shiver of pleasure ran through the length of her body. I started lapping at her cunt and sucked up her honey-juices. I ran my tongue all along the labyrinths of its inner lips and on the rim of its swollen outer lips. As time went, waves of pleasure rippled through her body. Tossing her head, from side-to-side, moaning and groaning, she lifted her buttocks and pushed the gash of her cunt at my face. Suddenly my daughter convulsed. The dam inside her cunt broke down, to bathe my tongue and mouth with the floods of its juices. Her buttocks collapsed on the floor, but she didn't let me go. I lapped at her cunt for some more time, till she was satisfied. I smiled at my daughter. Out of shyness, she covered her face with her hands. I took away her hands and kissed her tenderly.
She whispered to me, " Papa, take me now. Make love to me, as strongly as you can. Dont worry about me. I can't wait any more "
So saying she, spread her thighs wide apart and pulled up her knees to touch her chest. In that spread out position of her cunt, my innocent Anu looked so vulgar, so cheap and yet – so exciting!
She said, " Is this not, what you lusted for – Papa? Here I am. Here is my most private part, for your own pleasure. Your own daughter's most private part. I have now made myself completely exposed and as vulnerable as I could be, as my gift for you. For all your love and care for me, from my child-hood! "
I placed my throbbing cock at her little vaginal entrance and began to thrust it into her. As I began to enter her, she screamed. But, as I kept thrusting my cock deep inside her pussy. She seemed to be in terrible pain. I stopped.
I asked her, " Anu Darling, what is the matter? Are you in pain? "
She whimpered, " Yes, Papa, it is terribly paining. Please keep still and dont withdraw. Just give me a moment to relax. I shall be OK and then you can thrust your organ, fully into me "
I asked her, " Anu you have given birth to two children, So, your cunt must be large enough. So, why is it paining you? "
She whimpered again, " Papa, you are a real man. The size of your huge penis, is simply too big for my vagina. Your organ is almost three times as long and as thick, as my late husband's organ – was. My vagina is not used to such a big organ. Plus, after my husband's death, I have not had sex at all. Almost a year. So possibly I may have shrunk. Now your organ is opening my vagina up, all over, again! But dont worry Papa. Just give me a minute to accomodate your organ. I should be OK shortly and then you can push yourself into me fully and begin to have your pleasure! "
My daughter was really caring. I kissed her. I leaned over and sucked her erect nipples into my mouth. After a while, when I saw that my daughter was OK, I forcefully thrust my full organ into her tight cunt. She screamed again. Now I began fucking her slowly. Not the big rush, that I was in before, but with long deep strokes. Gradually, my daughter was begining to enjoy my strokes.
She said, " Papa, my pain is gone now. Now you can increase your speed and take your pleasure from me. I will also try and give you pleasure, like mummy probably gave you "
I started thrusting myself more faster and deeper into her cunt. She was herself raising her buttocks and fucking herself back, at my thrusting organ!
As I was fucking her, I asked her in lust, " Anu, is this how your husband used to fuck you too? "
She said, " No Papa. Though Vasu was a nice husband, he was not so good in bed. He had a small penis and could not control himself. He used to ejaculate into me in 10 seconds after he put his organ into my vagina. You are fucking me so hard and for so long. I am enjoying you, so much more " My speed and force increased further. I could see that my daughter was building up towards her orgasm. I started slamming my cock into her cunt with full force and vigour now. Anuradha was biting her lips and focussing on getting her orgasm now. I slammed into her still more deeply. She wrapped her arms and thighs around me. She fucked her vagina upwards onto my penis, with such force and pressure, as fast as I could move. Suddenly her vaginal muscles gripped my penis and burst with her orgasm. She moaned deeply as her vagina, began to release her juices. Her nails dug into my back, as her thighs wrapped tighter around my torso. Her orgasm lasted for almost a minute and she kept moaning through out. Finally she collapsed dead tired. After a minute she regained her composure.
She said, " Papa, now its your turn for pleasure "
I said, " No Anuradha, I should not ejaculate into your cunt. I dont want you to get pregnant. I think that you better suck my organ and let me do that, in your mouth "
She replied, " Papa, I shall certainly suck your organ and give you pleasure. But later. Now I want you to ejaculate into my vagina. I want to feel my strong Papa's fertile semen shooting through my womb. Dont worry Papa, I shall have birth-control pills from tomorrow. But tonight, I want you to have your pleasure in my vagina and fill me up "
So saying she gripped my cock, with her strong vaginal muscles and again started thrusting her cunt on my penis. I felt heavenly and knew I could not last. Finally, my own orgasm burst. I slammed my cock into my daughter's cunt with all my might, for one last time and began ejaculating my semen, deep into her cunt. I finally collapsed on my daughter. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.
I whispered, " Anuradha, did that feel like, you thought, it would? "
She smiled dreamily, " Yes Papa. That was incredible. I always knew you were a strong man, But never imagined that you are so strong and exciting "
I said, " I am glad you enjoyed it "
She said, " Papa, I am glad this happened between us. I have noted that you were so desperate, due to the lack of a woman. From tonight, I am your woman. I am your Mistress. Now apart from the house, I can take care of your pleasure too! So whenever, you want me in bed, just call me. I shall be glad to give you my body to keep you happy "
I said, " But Anuradha, what about our neighbours and your children? I am worried! "
She mischieviously replied, " Oh Papa! You are such a dumbo! For the neighbours, we will be what we are. A widowed daughter, being taken care of, by her own father. My children are too small for them to know anything. And anyway, I will put them to sleep in their rooms and then come here to you every night. You can then use my body and take your pleasure from me. So everything would be OK. Dont worry! "
Now my daughter has actually become my mistress. She sleeps in my bed and 2 – 3 times a week, makes it a point to fuck me and keep me happy.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
