NBA Finals Storylines: It Ain't 2006

Posted by Matt Moore
You're going to have the year 2006 emblazoned into your brain over the next five to 10 days if you pay attention to NBA coverage at all. It's going to dominate the talk since these two teams, the Heat and the Mavericks, met five years ago for the title. Everything will be examined in the same context and talk of the officials will be prime in Dallas, and talk of Wade's brilliance will be brought up in Miami, along with Udonis Haslem and his defense on Dirk Nowitzki. Let me stop you there.
The coaches are different. The rosters are different. The identities are different. The styles are different. The approaches are different. Everything is different. If you think that series defines Dirk's career or ability to succeed in the clutch, you just crawled out from under a rock. If you think Wade's still able to draw contact like he did in that series you're bonkers. If you think anything compares to the effect LeBron James can have on this series, you're out of your gourd.
This is not 2006.
This is 2011, and here are your NBA Finals storylines.
Can Dallas' defense step up?
The Mavericks gave up a 106.1 defensive efficiency in the playoffs this season through the Western Conference finals. That's seventh-best of all the teams in the league. Sure, they had more games to try and suffer through. But the reality is that the Mavericks for long stretches of the Western Conference Playoffs couldn't get stops. They found ways down the stretch to cut off the Thunder but it won't be nearly as easy against the Heat. We know the Heat's defense is legit. We know Miami's offense is legit. We know the Mavericks' offense is legit. But with so many size issues for the Mavericks, we're going to have questions about how they guard the Heat. Once again the absence of Caron Butler is extremely damaging for Dallas. The Mavericks will wind up with one of the following guarding Dwyane Wade: Jason Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, Peja Stojakovic, Jose Barea, or Corey Brewer. That does not bode well. Even more concerning is Shawn Marion, as well as he played against Kevin Durant, guarding LeBron James. No one can guard those players. But the Mavericks are especially ill-equipped to stop them. If the Mavericks' were ever going to whip out a zone, now might be the time.
Will point guard play finally hurt the Heat?
Jrue Holiday did it a bit, but it didn't matter. Rajon Rondo was ... er ... not the same. Derrick Rose was shut down due to the offensive weapons surrounding him, or lack thereof, allowing James and Wade to freelance on him with an additional help defender on the double. But the Heat are facing a different beast in Jason Kidd. Kidd's not young, athletic (anymore, comparatively, though he can still get up and down the floor and has a decent amount of muscle). He's not going to try and torch the Heat on drives. He's just going to make the right play. Kidd will try and outsmart the Heat's athleticism and ability with savvy. He'll make passes they don't anticipate and aren't used to, slip between defenders only to beat their reactions defensively and make the right pass. Throw in Kidd's surprising recent ability to hit open 3-pointers and the Heat might be surprised at the old veteran working his Magic.
Mavericks on the verge of validation
Dirk Nowitkzi is one of the best players of the past 10 years and he has no rings. Jason Kidd is a surefire Hall of Famer and doesn't have a ring. Jason Terrry has been a fourth-quarter maestro for the same franchise for the same length of time as Nowitzki, no ring. Mark Cuban has sunk more than $800 million into trying to earn a championship, no ring. Rick Carlisle led successful teams in Indiana and Detroit, no ring. This series is their best shot and in all likelihood, their last chance. This is everything for the Mavericks. The Heat have years to make another run. For the Mavericks, this is their absolute best chance at a title, to catch the Heat confident and still trying to figure themselves out. This isn't just an exciting shot at a title, it's about salvaging legacies and cementing greatness.
The promise of 'The Decision'
They're there. They have to win four games and they will have backed it all up. All the talk, all the pomp, all the circumstance, all the pyro. The Heat will have lived up to their hype. The only way to shut up critics is to win it all. Miami's not just within sight of it, they're on the doorstep. They just beat the defending Eastern Conference champs and the top seed in the East featuring the best defensive team in the league. Yes, everyone will still regard James as arrogant, and question the value of teaming up with other elite teammates. But the narrative will start to shift if they win the title. James becomes a winner, Wade a two-time champ, and Erik Spoelstra a championship coach. Lose, and everyone's harshest criticism rings true. Everything changes in four more games, either way.

Please Mavs win. I hate how the Heat get almost every foul call and are so overraded. The Mavs are very respectable. Vice verca for the Heat.

NBA Finals Storylines: It Ain't 2006
Whoever wins, this should be a great series as long as the fouls are called evenly. I wouldn't consider myself a Dallas fan, but for this series I am. Miami losing would be good for the NBA but David Stern does NOT like Mark Cuban and I don't need to say what that means. Aside from the Heat true fans, and their masses of bandwagon fans nobody should want Miami to win. There are not enough superstars in the league to have more than a few teams hording the talent. The casual (non Heat) fan will stop watching when/if it becomes apparent that their teams cannot compete against the All-Star team.
Please please please... Mavs in a sweep. For the good of basketball.

2006 I dont think so
In this series it will be all about the bench. Yes, Miami is very powerful with Wade, LBJ and Bosch. One fact that I have seen in Mavericks is they know how to frustrate opponents to point of technical and flagarent fouls. This was seen in the regular season as well as in the Lakers and Thunder series. If even one component of the Miami trio gets into foul trouble then the Mavericks will have all out access to scoring the points they are used to scoring.
With Miami I can see that they also have a STRONG bench that is equal to Dallas. This will pose a problem to Mavericks if they cannot create a stop on any of the trio.
Mavericks in 7

NBA Finals Storylines: It Ain't 2006
its all good to talk trash about this and that but to be honest with you all iI hear is who is gonna stop dirk who is gonna stop dirk. truthfully nobody can stop dirk completely, he is gonna get his regardless. this series will be based on what the other players do and the mismatches that both teams can present one another. that favors miami. lebron and wade can get theirs seemingly at will against kidd, terry ,berrera and stevenson. and thats not even counting on chris bosh. mario chalmers and bibby will be able to play in this series because kidd doesnt loom to big as a scoring threat or penetrator anymore thus giving miami guards more time on the floor. if dallas plays that zone you will see more of james jones and mike miller in this series from three and possibly eddie house. this will be a good series regardless may the best team wim win.. miami in 6

(reply to lee 3022) I have for 20 years listen and read comments from people who never spent one penny of their hard earned on any thing but their mouth. Today would be a great day for you to put some green on where your mouth has now led you...sell your car..your house that crystal ball and head on down to Caesars palace and lay it all on your heat.. and if by chance they are better than the best three point shooting team in the NBA, and if that james guy is so much better than the best pure shooter in the NBA and if their bench is that much better you will be able to take a curise to mexico and the hell going on down there.. but if not and you are wrong..you are on the street no home , walking to the food bank.. be sure what you say has merit and then back your play with your green.. till them friend.. take care out there!....VegasHyroler...... ps: the western confrence was the toughest group in the league by 6 to 1

Leave it up to a Heat fan to talk up Joel Anthony.. Carlos Boozer and Kevin Garnett?? Last time I checked, they weren't lighting it up in the postseason. Hell, they're halfway to rocking chairs at this point.
Tell me how you guard a fade-away from a 7 foot forward that can also get you in the air. It's almost impossible. Dirk is unguardable right now. He's also faced more noteable players than a Joel Anthony.

Yes Man, Joel Anthony. I can see you dont watch much basketball at least you dont watch Heat basketball. Joel Anthony might not score, but the DEFENSE is unbelievable (ask Garnett, Boozer, or Stoudemire) He gets Offensive Rebounds and he blocks shots.
All these analyst talking about how Lebron will defend Yellowviski. They dont understand it will be JOEL and Yellowviski has not seen a Big Man this fast on defense in the playoffs.

NBA Finals Storylines: It Ain't 2006
In theory you are right
But this is NBA, not a playground. There are refs.
Matrix is more than capable of limiting James to playing average for James (under 30ppg under 45% FG) which should have been enough.
Dirk should dispose Bosh like he has never been born.
Eastern conferrence numbers are inflated.
Tyson should kill Anthony (literally) - CHeat don't have neither Pekins nor Collison nor Ibaka nor Bynum nor Pau.
But in the real world Heat will live on free throw line. Chandler will sit with fouls. Dirk will get murdered when working low block with no calls.
CHeat will win the series. The most ironic is - if Dallas play great against CHeat - they loose in 5, if Dallas plays mediocre they loose in 6.

This guy is a retard... and he is a bandwagon rider
1) There benches are equal... Mavs have barea and terry, Heat have haslem and miller.
2) Chandler is sorta better but not that much better, combo of haslem and anthony could wear him out.
3) LeBron is Wayyyy better than Dirk, he will dominate marion, James has PROVEN he can close a game.
Overall heat is better, Mavss cant contain wade or james, HEAT in 6!!!!!!!!

Systemic sclerosis (SSC; scleroderma)–associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a major cause of mortality in SSc patients and represents an important diagnostic and therapeutic target. Our aims were to evaluate the relationship between echocardiogram-derived right-sided heart hemodynamics and gold standard right-sided heart catheterization (RHC) measurements in a scleroderma population and to investigate whether this relationship is modified by a subset of pulmonary hypertension.
We performed RHC and echocardiography on the same day, with pulmonary function testing in 21 consecutive subjects with scleroderma and precapillary pulmonary hypertension (mean ± SD age 57 ± 10 years, 81% women).
RHC measures, including pulmonary arterial systolic and mean pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), correlated strongly with echocardiogram-derived data. RHC-derived PVR was negatively associated with right ventricular (RV) systolic performance, as measured by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE; rho = −0.70, P < 0.001), tissue Doppler tricuspid s′ velocity (rho = −0.68, P = 0.002), and RV fractional area change (rho = −0.78, P < 0.001). Correlations with TAPSE and s′ velocity were strengthened when forced vital capacity %/diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide % ≥1.6 was used to identify pure PAH phenotypes in SSc. Bland-Altman analyses demonstrated strong agreement between RHC and echocardiogram-derived hemodynamic measures.
Our findings suggest that echocardiography may play a clinical role in identifying pulmonary hypertension and RV dysfunction noninvasively, particularly in a subset of SSc patients stratified by pulmonary function testing. This method may establish specific disease phenotypes with differential cardiovascular impact and prove useful as a marker of disease progression/risk stratification in SSC patients that warrants further investigation in larger cohorts.

GeForce 9500 GT review -
1 - An introduction out of the blue
|GeForce 9500 GT Overclock
|SKU code:
|Street price:
G96 - The GeForce 9500 GT, today NVIDIA launches a new budget product. It's called the GeForce 9500 GT and pretty much is the GeForce 8600 GT yet made under a smaller 65nm fab. The good thing is that the card is is real cheap, even better is that we have been promised that the card will be faster than that two year old GeForce 8600 GT.
To throw in some more confusing model names, NVIDIA has prepared this GeForce 9500 GT to replace their older 8500 GT completely.
The GeForce 9500 GT has a 'G96' core and comes with 32 shader processors, the frequency for the reference models will be 650MHz, and quite interesting it's shader domain will be clocked at 1650MHz, which is pretty good for a budget product. Memory frequencies are at the disposal the board partners but we can report gDDR3 being run over a 128-bit bus in 256 and 512 MB configurations.
Just like the rest of the series 9 products, this product isn't all about the performance increase within it's segment, but thing of PCIe 2.0 compatibility, lower power consumption and better PureVideo HD decoding.
So what we'll do today is present you a quick performance review of this little card. The card we'll test is an actual retail sample from the folks at Galaxy technology. This is the Galaxy GeForce 9500 GT Overclock edition by the way.

Orange–Coriander Glazed Ham
Deeply spiced with earthy and sweet flavors, serve this glazed ham during winter holidays. While ground coriander will work fine, opt for crushed coriander seeds for better texture.
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Serves: 8
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 0.50 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 7 lb total; preferably shank end)
- 3 tbsp. coriander seeds or 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1.50 tsp. black peppercorns
- 1 jar orange marmalade (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 0.25 c. white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
- Heat oven to 375°F. Place the ham, cut-side down, on a rack set in a roasting pan; add 1/4 cup water to the pan. Score the ham, if desired. Cover the ham and the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a heavy pan, crush the coriander seeds and peppercorns; place them in a bowl. Add the marmalade and vinegar and whisk to combine. Transfer 1/2 cup of the glaze to a small bowl and reserve for serving.
- Brush half the remaining glaze (about 1/2 cup) over the ham and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and bake until the ham is heated through and the internal temperature registers 140°F, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve with the reserved glaze.

The Icing on the Cake
Seriously? Thanks a lot, Mom. I'm a twenty year old university student, what do I know about baking? When I asked if there was anything I could bring for my sister's birthday dinner, the last thing I was expecting was Mom asking me to bake a bloody cake. A bloody chocolate cake with lemon cream icing at that. I know she would have done it herself but having broken her wrist last week she can't. Why she wouldn't just give in and buy one I don't know. I have tried everything I can think of to get out of it, even asking why my sister in law Rosalie, but she couldn't do it. Of course, she's cooking the actual dinner itself and with her husband, my brother Emmett around, we'll all be lucky to get fed at all.
So here I am, surrounded by ingredients and no idea what the hell to do with them. I have four hours to bake and frost a cake before I have to be at my parents'.
Just as I'm looking over the recipe for the twentieth time, there's a knock at my front door. I have no idea who it could be. Everyone is under strict instructions that unless it is an emergency or they know how to fucking bake to not even think of bothering me today.
Frustrated that people just don't know how to listen, I almost wrench my front door from it's hinges, about to give whoever it is a stern talking to. Today is not the day to be bothering me, unless you're Martha Stewart.
Anything I was about to say was soon forgotten as I was struck numb by the sight in front of me. Standing there with a sexy as hell dimpled smile was Rosalie's fuckhot brother, Jasper. Forget about baking, I'll have a piece of him, please.
I had totally forgotten that Em mention last week that Jasper was transferring here for school and moving in with them for a while. We had only met once at Rose and Em's wedding, six months ago, but he had been busy all day with father of the bride duties. Their dad had passed a few years ago, so the role fell to him and boy, did he take it seriously. After that one meeting though, he was on my mind quite often; namely those times set aside for a little self loving, if you get what I mean.
I realised I had stood there staring at him like a lunatic when he coughed to get my attention and asked if I was going to invite him in. Remembering the good manners I had been bought up with, I invited him in and offered him a drink. 'So Jasper, what can I do for you?'
With a grin, he answered, 'It's more what I can do for you.' Reaching into the tote bag he was carrying, he pulled out a piece of material, which I soon realised was an apron when he put it on. 'Em said you were baking a cake for Alice's birthday. He found it quite funny, and said that for the first time ever at a family dinner, there would be something he wouldn't eat.'
Seeing my confused expression, he went on. 'I thought I'd stop by and help out. Growing up as a gay teen in Texas doesn't offer many social activities, so while everyone else was out partying, I was home learning to cook with my mama.'
He looked so proud standing there in his apron. Taking a closer look, I noticed It had a caption written across the chest. 'Kiss the Cook', it said. Hmmm... yes, please!
Noticing me staring yet again, his grin grew bigger. 'Well, lets get this bad boy started. Kitchen this way?' And with that, he disappeared into my kitchen, leaving me standing there with a rather embarrassing problem growing in my pants. With a sigh I adjusted myself, willing my erection away, and made my way after Jasper.
The sight in front of me would have been comical if A) my erection would go away, and B) I didn't have three and a half hours to bake a fucking cake. Jasper stood at my counter, looking confused. He would look at the ingredients, and then look to his left hand that held the recipe, then to his right, which held a zester. After the third look around, I heard him mumble, 'What the fuck is this thing?' Putting the zester down, he ran his hand through his hair and mumbled again, 'Great idea, Whitlock. Couldn't wait to see him later; had to come over now and pretend you could bake. Get yourself out of this one, genius.' I couldn't help but stand there and chuckle. I must have startled him, because he dropped the recipe he was holding and knocked the carton of eggs by his elbow flying.
With a sigh, I made my way around the counter, picking up the kitchen roll on my way. Jasper was already on his knees, trying to clear up the mess the eggs had made. I knelt down and handed him some of the kitchen roll. Between us both, we made short work of cleaning up. Standing back up, we both lost our balance and fell into each other, cracking our heads together. Fuck I just wasn't going to catch a break today! Rubbing my forehead, I apologised to Jasper and asked if he was OK.
After assessing the damage and deeming us both OK, I got a fresh carton of eggs from the fridge. I had bought double on all the ingredients, knowing I would fuck something up somewhere. Jasper was once again staring at the recipe. 'OK, confession time. I know fuck all about baking,' he sighed.
'Yeah, I kind of figured that out. How about we just play it by ear, throw all this crap together, and hope for the best?' I laughed out.
The next twenty minutes or so were taken up with us measuring everything out and finally getting the cake mix together. After finally getting it in the oven, I took a step back and surveyed the mess that we had made. My kitchen was a mess, covered in cake batter and splodges of everything that contributed to said cake batter. Looking down, I realised I was just as covered in the crap as my kitchen was. Looking over at Jasper, I found him bowl in hand, spoon in mouth, devouring what batter didn't make it into the cake tins. He was just as messy as I was but didn't seem to care. Watching him lick the spoon clean with a look of contentment on his face, I felt myself stiffening again, wondering how that tongue would feel licking something else. Again, he caught me staring. With a cheeky grin, he offered me the spoon. 'Want a lick?'
I swear I blushed twelve shades of red and fucking stuttered, 'N..n..no th..th..thanks. We better get this cleaned up.' With a sigh, he put the now empty bowl and spoon in the sink, picked up a dish cloth, and helped me get my kitchen looking somewhat normal again. By the time we had finished, the cake was cooked and set out to cool before we attempted to frost it.
Checking the clock, I saw we still had around two hours left and I figured it would be at least another half hour before we could attempt the frosting. There was no point in cleaning myself up until after the cake was finished. Instead, I pulled two beers from the fridge and offered one to Jasper. Emmett may have been a pain in the ass at times, but he always came through in making sure I had beer in the fridge. Sitting on either side of the counter, we fell into an awkward silence. Now that we weren't busy, I had no idea what to say to him. I never behaved like this, especially in my own home. If I wanted something or somebody, I always went for it, and since seeing him at Em and Rose's wedding, I really wanted Jasper. So why the hell was I sitting here, saying nothing and getting turned on by him drinking a beer. Watching someone drink a beer had never been so erotic. I think it was the way his hand gripped the bottle and the way his adams apple bobbed every time he swallowed. I had begun to notice that every time I took a drink, Jasper wriggled on his stool. A small part of me couldn't help but hope I was having the same affect on him as he was having on me.
After what seemed like hours of silence, drinking, and uncomfortable wriggling, I decided to bite the bullet and get the conversation started.
'So Jasper, if you know nothing about baking, why'd you come round today?' Damn, that didn't come out the way I wanted it to sound.
With a blush, he replied, 'Well, it was either spend the day by myself or watch Rosie cook. I thought you could use the company and help.' I'm sure I heard him mutter something under his breath, but I didn't quite catch it.
'I appreciate the help, Jasper. At least now if it tastes like shit, I can blame you too.'
Grabbing another two beers from the fridge, I checked the cake. It was cool enough now for the frosting. Now for this part, I admit I cheated. I had bought ready made frosting. All we had to do was spread it over the cake, add the decorations, and we were good to go. You would think it would be an easy, mess free job. Yeah, right. Not with Jasper helping. He may know as much about baking as me, but he sure has a sweet tooth. No sooner had I put the lemon cream frosting out than Jasper had the lid off and was helping himself.
'Hey, easy there, some of that needs to find it's way onto the cake,' I scolded. Damn, I'm starting to sound like my mom. With a cheeky grin, he ran his finger around the edge of the bowl, scooping up frosting on the end of his finger. I watched as he brought his finger up to his mouth, winked at me, then poked out his tongue and licked his finger. The sight went straight to my cock, which had been semi hard all day, and was now hard as steel. Jasper's eyes trailed down my body and rested on the bulge in my jeans. I watched him visibly shiver, then run his finger through the frosting again. He advanced on me with a sly smirk on his face, frosting covered finger pointing at me. 'Honestly, Edward, you really need to try this.' Throwing caution to the wind, I stepped forward, grabbed his out stretched arm, and brought his finger to my mouth. I ran my tongue around his finger tip before sucking it into my mouth. Moving my mouth up and down his finger, I tried to convey to him exactly what I could do with my mouth and tongue on other parts of his body. Again Jasper shivered, this time adding a little groan. Releasing his finger from my mouth with a pop, I bought my eyes level with his. We were looking at each other with lust laden eyes.
Jasper reached behind him to grab the bowl of creamy frosting, his eyes never leaving mine. In his haste, however, to get his hands on the sweet creamy goodness, he ended up knocking the bowl over and coating my kitchen counter in it. At this moment in time, I really couldn't give a rat's ass about the state of my kitchen, or the damn cake. With a sly grin of my own, I advanced on him, my lips crashing to his in a passionate kiss. There was nothing loving or tender about it. This kiss was filled with need and want. After months of pleasuring myself to images of Jasper, he was here in front of me and seemed to want this as much as I did. As our mouths moved together, each trying to get the upper hand, Jasper's hands made their way to the hem of my tee shirt. Breaking the kiss, he ripped it over my head, then stood back to look at me. 'Mmmm... Much better than I imagined, but do you know what would make a half naked Edward even better?' he asked, grinning.
Damn, that dimpled grin would be the death of me! Before I got the chance to respond, he ran his hand through the creamy frosting again then bought his hand up and smeared it across my naked chest. Again, Jasper's lips met mine in an urgent kiss, moving me backwards until I felt my back hit something hard.
Even the cold metal of the fridge at my back couldn't dampen my need for Jasper as his mouth descended to my chest and proceeded to lap at the sticky goodness he had left there. As his lips and tongue made their way down my chest, gently biting and sucking each of my hardened nipples, his hands were frantically working on the buttons of my jeans. In no time at all, I was standing naked in my kitchen, with the object of my fantasies for the past 6 months grinning at me wickedly. Jasper grabbed my hips and moved me back over towards the counter. As my hips crashed against the edge of the work surface, his lips crashed to mine again. I couldn't even bring myself to care about the slight pain as my rock hard erection brushed against the fabric of Jasper's jeans.
Jasper pulled away from the kiss and motioned for me to sit up on the counter. Who was I to deny him? Using my arms as leverage and with Jasper's help, I lifted myself and sat on the counter, right in a sticky pool of the lemon cream frosting. Again, I couldn't bring myself to care as Jasper wiped his hand through the sticky goo again. He bought his hand to my straining cock, and gripping loosely, moved his hand up and down a few times. He stood back and surveyed the mess he'd made of my cock. Once again pulling out that fuckhot dimpled grin, he said, 'Now that's a tasty treat good enough to eat'. Before I could properly process what he had said, his hot mouth engulfed my cock, taking me all the way down his throat in that first move. I didn't dare look down at him for fear of cumming right there and then. Instead, I let my head fall back and gave myself over to the feel of Jasper's talented mouth around my cock, steadily moving up, then taking me all the way back down his throat again before swallowing around me.
After minutes of this delectable torture, he stopped. Looking at me with lust filled eyes, he commanded me to get down from the counter and turn around. Hell, who was I to argue? I got myself into the position Jasper wanted me in, and looking over my shoulder, I saw him drop to his knees. Fuck me...this man is going to make all my fantasies come true! Turning my head back around, I tried to concentrate on the wall clock as I felt his warm breath fan across my ass. Feeling his hands caress my buttocks, I relaxed into his touch. I tried to steel myself for what was to come next but as I felt his tongue take one long lick from my balls all the way up to the base of my spine, I couldn't help but scream, 'OH FUCK!'
His hands spread my cheeks and I felt his tongue take a sweep over my hole. If there was a heaven, this was it. He ran his tongue around my hole whilst caressing my ass cheeks. Without any warning, I felt his tongue penetrate my defenses. And there we were, in my kitchen, covered in cake batter and frosting while Jasper was fucking my ass with his tongue. I was minutes away from creating my own mess when he pulled away. I felt him slide himself up my body and whisper in my ear, 'Top or bottom?'
Fuck! he asks this now?...
'Bottom,' I stuttered back.
'Thank fuck for that!' he breathed in my ear. 'Now don't move an inch, baby, I'm about to fuck you into next week.' With a final nip at my earlobe, I felt the heat of his body leave mine. A few seconds of rustling later, he was back. I once again felt his breath at my ear. 'Do you have any idea how long I've wanted to see you like this?'
I tried to speak, but all that came out of my mouth was a pathetic little squeak, which only caused Jasper to chuckle. With as close as our bodies were, the vibrations of his laugh went right through me and I felt his hard, hot cock rubbing against my ass. Like an eager little slut, I couldn't help but take a half step back and grind my ass into him, almost begging him to just take me. I was that far gone I couldn't even remember why on earth I was baking a cake or who's fucking birthday it even was.
Seconds after hearing the telltale snap of a bottle of lube, I felt his slick fingers caressing my hole. Bracing myself for what was to come next, I tried to relax into his touch. It had been seven long months since I'd felt anyone's touch but my own. After seeing Jasper at the wedding, as much as I had looked, no-one had caught my attention.
As I felt Jasper's strong sure finger circling my hole, his hand reached around and grasped my straining erection. His skillful hand moved over me and his finger pressed forward. Within moments he was fucking me hard and fast with his finger. Before I could get too relaxed, he inserted a second finger and started a scissor motion. I could see this was going to be a hard, fast fuck, not that I was complaining. I couldn't wait to feel him inside me.
'Fuck, Jazz, I'm ready. I need you now.'
With a growl, he stepped away from me and I heard the tear of foil. Before I could gather my senses, I felt the head of Jasper's cock pressing against me. 'Hold on tight, baby,' he whispered in my ear.
I was gripping the work surface so hard, my knuckles were turning white. If he didn't fuck me soon, I was going to lose it. As I was about to say something, I felt him press forward. The head of his cock actually felt comfortable within me, like it belonged there. I heard him moan as he slowly pressed forward, inch my inch, giving me mere moments to become used to the intrusion. As much as I was thankful for his carefulness, I just wanted him to slam me hard. This wasn't the time for loving or smooth fucking. I wanted hard, fast and dirty. Jasper must have been a mind reader. Once he was fully seated within me, he gave me a moment as he slowly pulled back out until just the head of his cock was inside me. 'Brace yourself sugar,' he groaned into my neck.
He began to move inside me at a hard, fast pace. The only sounds filling my kitchen we're our sharp ragged breaths and the exquisite sound of skin hitting skin. I had never been taken with such animalistic need. There was no talking or loving caresses, just hard, fast fucking. His hands gripped my hips hard, his teeth taking nips at my shoulder blades then soothing the bites with a swipe of his tongue. His hand had long since stopped stroking my hard, twitching cock. I could almost feel myself leaking onto the cupboard doors in front of me. Jasper's pace was staring to become more erratic as he growled in my ear for me to touch myself.
'Fuck! Don't need to, Jazz!'
Jasper groaned and sped up his pace, fucking me so hard and deep that he was touching parts of me I never knew existed. My hands couldn't hold onto the work surface anymore and my upper body gave out. As my chest collapsed onto the worktop, I inadvertently sent the cake flying over the other side, and you know what? As I saw it hit the floor and break apart, I really didn't give a shit. All I cared about right now was the feel of Jasper moving inside me at a frantic pace. I could feel the tight coil starting in the pit of my stomach. 'Jazz, I'm so close!' I almost screamed. His hand reached down and gently grabbed my balls and with one small tug I exploded all over the cupboard door in front of me. I don't know if it was a delayed concussion from the head bang earlier or because it was the strongest orgasm of my life, but I swear I was seeing stars. As I was coming down from my own high, I felt Jasper shudder and release into the condom inside of me. He collapsed onto my back, breathing hard. 'Damn, Edward,' he sighed, his breath fanning over my shoulders. I swear I felt myself twitch again. If we had more time, I know I would be ready to go again.
I felt Jasper behind me begin to shake. He wrapped his arms tightly around me and pulled me down onto the floor with him. We spent a few moments laying there in each other arms, and I couldn't even begin to care about the fact we were on my cold kitchen floor. All to soon, I heard Jasper sigh. 'I think we better get cleaned up, babe. I'm sure your mom would freak if we turned up for dinner looking like this.'
Getting up from the floor, I surveyed the mess we had made, and what a mess it was, right down to the imprint of my ass in the frosting on the counter. Seeing the broken, mashed cake on the floor, I finally realised what we had done. 'Ah fuck! How the hell am I going to explain this to my mom and Alice? I can't turn up without a cake.'
Turning around, I noticed Jasper had a suspicious grin on his face. 'I can't lie, babe, I had no intention of baking today. I have a store bought cake outside in my truck, and I'm sure your mom will understand.'
He made his way over to me and took me into his arms. 'Now that the cake issue is sorted, what's say you and me go take a shower and get a little more dirty before we clean up?'
Hell, how could I say no to that?
Three hours later
Well, Alice's birthday dinner was going well. She loved her presents and although everyone guessed the cake was store bought, no one seemed to mind, especially Emmett. Jasper and myself had behaved and no one was any the wiser as to what we had done this afternoon, until Alice opened her mouth...
'So Edward, Jasper, care to explain? If my cake is store bought, why do you have frosting in your hair?'...

Three protesters killed in Egypt
Three protesters were killed and some 100 were wounded in the city of Harga in the New Valley Governorate (Upper Egypt) after clashes with police who used live bullets against the protesters. According to a security source, the demonstrations began on Monday evening in the city and continued Tuesday.
The source added that three demonstrators died Wednesday morning, after they succumbed to their injuries, angering residents who set fire to several government buildings including the headquarters of the police, the civil defense and the ruling party.
Generally speaking, the popular protests, sit-ins and strikes in Egypt reached an unprecedented scope on Wednesday covering major sectors and institutions, in addition to huge strikes by workers to protest against low salaries.
In Alexandria, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators demanded the departure of President Hosni Mubarak. The same scenes were seen in Mansoura, where about a quarter of a million people called for Mubarak's ouster and parliament dissolution.
In addition, demonstrations swept the city of Damietta, north of Cairo, Tanta and El-Arish and other Egyptian cities. Sit-ins continue in front of the headquarters of the People's Assembly, the Council of Ministers, the Shura Council and outside the home of Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq.

Scientists have unravelled the genetic secrets of the Chalara ash dieback fungus.
UK scientists have thrown a lifeline to our ash trees by completing the first sequencing of the Chalara fraxinea genome - the fungus currently attacking ash trees across Europe.
In just a few weeks the scientists have unravelled the genetic secrets of the Chalara ash dieback fungus. This will help them understand how the pathogen attacks ash and may help in the fight against the epidemic. The data is freely available on crowd sourcing website OpenAshDieBack, which allows experts across the globe to identify specific genes and the roles they play in other organisms.
The scientists are also looking to map the genes of ash trees showing resistance to Chalara. In Denmark 2 percent of ash trees infected by the fungus have survived. The type, known as Tree 35, could provide the key for the survival of ash in our landscapes.

Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (NYSE:DO) today announced that a subsidiary of the company has entered into two term drilling contracts with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. The contracts, which will utilize Diamond Offshore's two new-build drillships now on order, are expected to generate combined maximum total revenue of approximately $1.8 billion and represent 10 years of contract drilling backlog. In addition, Anadarko and Diamond have mutually agreed to dismiss all claims related to the Ocean Monarch.
The dynamically positioned, ultra-deepwater drillships, Ocean BlackHawk and Ocean BlackHornet, are each contracted for five years commencing in late 2013 and early 2014, respectively. As previously reported, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. is currently preparing to commence construction of the two drillships at its South Korean shipyard.
Diamond Offshore President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Dickerson said: "We are pleased to place our newest rigs under contract with Anadarko, with whom we have had a successful long-term relationship. We look forward to contributing to Anadarko's exploration and development efforts, working to bring to market energy resources for the world's increasing demand. A first class customer, two state of the art rigs and Diamond Offshore's high operational standards are all part of a formula for success."
Diamond Offshore provides contract drilling services to the energy industry around the globe and is a leader in deepwater drilling.
Maximum contract revenue as stated above assumes 100% rig utilization. Generally, rig utilization rates approach 95-98% during contracted periods; however, utilization rates can be adversely impacted by additional downtime due to unscheduled repairs and maintenance. Additional information on Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. and access to the Company's SEC filings is available on the Internet at www.diamondoffshore.com.

Last week's controversy about Katy Perry's Sesame Street guest appearance reminded us that the show has a long history of working with celebrities. And while cleavage isn't exactly what they're looking for, Sesame Street's producers have always embraced clever adult humor. We dug through the archives to find some of the smartest, funniest, and strangest celebrity appearances in Sesame Street history, from Richard Pryor to Ricky Gervais.
In this segment, Johnny Cash drops by Oscar the Grouch's trash can to sing him a song about a guy named "Nasty Dan" and his unpleasant family. Two famously saturnine characters, one a music legend and the other a monster, tackle the darker sides of human nature in a way kids can understand.
You may not even need Muppets when Little Richard is on the set. In this segment, he sings the Rubber Duckie Song, fully clothed, in a bubble bath, without the slightest hint of irony. It makes for one hell of a show, and Hoots the owl is totally upstaged. Kudos to Sesame Street for introducing kids to the self-proclaimed "architect of rock and roll," even if he seems a little crazy.
If you grew up in the 1980s, chances are good you have Lily Tomlin's Edith Ann character forever seared in your memory. There was something powerfully compelling about this woman-child and her desultory tale about a sandwich. We don't know what this taught kids, exactly, but it was a story about making a mess that a five-year-old could relate to. (As an adult, watching this is more like sitting in on a regression therapy session.)
Richard Pryor was invited onto Sesame Street a few times, and was allowed, it seems, to go off book. In this spot, he provides a sort of improvised narrative structure to the alphabet. Sesame Street isn't afraid to pick celebrity guests who are a little edgy in their other work, and sometimes it bleeds over.
Ricky Gervais and Elmo have incredible chemistry on screen. It's as if they spent years together at Second City before they each became famous, and, as an adult, it's really fun to watch. We assume the kids enjoy this too. Even if Ricky's sensitivity about his celebrity status is over their heads, they can understand it's hard to sleep when he's shouting at you.
This outtake of Ricky Gervais and Elmo being interviewed together isn't technically a Sesame Street appearance, but it's amazing to watch them riffing this way. It's proof positive that there's a special chemistry between Elmo and Gervais—and that the people behind the show's puppets are quick wits.
Paul Simon's performance of "Me and Julio" on the classic Sesame Street stoop is a gem from an earlier era of media. The sheer innocence of this clip—in the production values; the lack of scripting; the awesome, spontaneous singing and dancing—is a big part of what makes Sesame Street so great in general.
Because Adam Sandler's comedic songs are generally pretty ridiculous, he happens to fit right in as a musical guest on Sesame Street without changing his routine all that much. This song about Elmo isn't dirty, of course, but it's probably just as funny as most of Sandler's other work, and viewers of all ages can appreciate the silliness.
Patrick's Stewart's "Soliloquy on B" makes the list both for its impassioned performance and because it exemplifies one of Sesame Street's best characteristics: the ability to be clever for adults and compelling and educational for kids all at once.

PSC sets Oct. 8 public hearing on We Energies rate case
We Energies customers can speak for or against the utility's rate hike request for 2015 and 2016 on Oct. 8.
The state Public Service Commission Wednesday scheduled public hearings at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. that day at the Wilson Senior Center, 2601 W. Howard Ave., Milwaukee.
We Energies is proposing a 1.8% overall increase, but is informing customers through a bill insert that the increase for residential customers would be in the range of 4.7%.
The state's largest utility is also proposing a 75% increase in the fixed charge on monthly bills, to $16 a month from $9 a month. In addition, the utility is seeking a series of controversial changes for customers generating renewable energy. Among them, the utility would ban the practice of leasing solar panels rather than owning them outright, and the utility would also charge customers generating their own power a new fee.
Nearly 180 customer comments about the rate case have already been submittted on the PSC's website, with several hundred comments published since June.
Under PSC rules, those making public comments can either choose to write up comments on the PSC web site, through Oct. 7, or speak at the public hearing. Comments can also be sent in by mail.
Until Oct. 8, the members of the PSC staff and customer, environmental and solar-power groups are expected to weigh in on the case in legal filings at the PSC. An administrative law judge will preside over a hearing involving the utility and those groups on Sept. 24 in Madison.
The PSC is scheduled to decide the case by the end of the year.

Centaur Parade Set to Roll Saturday!
The Krewe of Centaur parade is set to roll and the weather looks fantastic! Here's a few guidelines from Bill Goodin and the Shreveport Police Department.
The Krewe of Centaur parade is set to roll and the weather looks fantastic! Here's a few guidelines from Bill Goodin and the Shreveport Police Department.
We're sure you'll be at one of the big Mardi Gras Parades in Shreveport such as the Krewe of Centaur Parade that starts at 4:30 pm tomorrow. While you wait for parade time check out these 5 awesome Mardi Gras floats from some of the parades in New Orleans
Busy weekend ahead! Krewe of Centaur Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday and then the Super Bowl on Sunday means a weekend full of partying and fuller bellies! But if you're committed to fitness, what should you do?
I spoke to local fitness instructor Heather Binyon, who provided some healthy advice for a normally unhealthy weekend.
The Krewe of Centaur Bal was absolutely fantastic this year! K945 and Townsquare Media are proud to be a corporate sponsor. If you were there (like half of the SBC) check out the video and see if you see yourself. If you weren't at the bal (WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!??!) why don't you check out what you missed? All Hail Centaur!
The Krewe of Centaur calls themselves the 'Fun Krewe' and they certainly delivered this past Saturday night at the Bossier Civic Center!
The costumes at the Krewe of Akewa Grand Bal this past Friday night were fantastic! The ladies truly made their Cajun Fairytales come true during their fete at the Centaur Den. Big congrats to Captain Penny and the rest of the ladies!
The Krewe of Akewa is holding their Grand Bal this evening at the Centaur Den and it's theme is 'Cajun Fairytales.' Captain Penny Zimmerman told us there would be lots of fun twists to your favorite children's stories and plenty of Cajun cousine.
Locals and visitors alike will get a brand new way to enjoy the whole local Mardi Gras experience with Parti-Gras 2013.
Can I just say that 12th Night was amazing! Talk about a fitting kick off to the 2013 Mardi Gras season.
The Mardi Gras season officially kicked off Saturday night with the 12th Night Celebration hosted by the Krewes of Centaur and Gemini at the Bossier Civic Center. But on Friday night the area royalty got the chance to let their hair down in a casual setting at the annual Royalty Mixer at the Centaur Den.
I dropped off five Mardi Gras dresses to the cleaners today and got a Dryel for the rest that can't be dry cleaned... I'm getting my nails done tonight and I plan to Mystic in the morning. Yep, Mardi Gras kicks off this Saturday and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I'm having trouble getting grandchild menus to appear in some browsers. All dropdown menus appear in Firefox: Parent, Child, and Grandparent. Parent and Child menus appear in all browsers I've tested. However, grandchild menus (level three submenus) do not appear in any browser except Mozilla Firefox. Originally I was using the "Automatically add to top level" option in Appearances>Menus. I then recreated a custom navigation bar and added this as the primary menu. No change. Still works in Firefox and still no luck in Safari and Chrome. (Haven't retested in Internet Explorer). I have drop down menu's enabled under the Theme settings. The website is http://southerngreenhomes.ie/sgh I'm really struggling here. I'm going to set up all parent pages as Highlight rather than Feature pages so that I can at least at a submenu sidebar for folks to navigate. But what I'd really like to do is get the grandchild menus working on all pages. How do I ensure that all the dropdown menus including grandchild menus appear in all browsers? Help!! (and thank you in advance..)
