The knee is a complex joint made up of the distal end of the femur (femoral condyles) and the proximal end of the tibia (tibial plateau). A number of ligaments run between the femur and the tibia in the knee joint. The anterior cruciate ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament, and the meniscal ligaments are among the ligaments of the knee joint.
Injury to the ligaments of the knee are common sports-related injuries.
Arthroscopy, which involves the use of a small camera and small instruments on the end of long narrow tubes, introduced into the knee through small incisions, may be recommended for knee problems such as:
While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia) or sleepy (sedated) and pain-free (regional anesthesia or spinal anesthesia), several small punctures are made into the knee joint.
The viewing scope (arthroscope) and other instruments are inserted into the knee joint. The surgeon can see the ligaments, the knee disc (meniscus), the knee bone (patella), the lining of the joint (synovium), and the rest of the joint. Damaged tissues can be removed. Arthroscopy can also be used to help view the inside of the knee while ligaments or tendons are repaired from the outside.
Patients are usually able to leave the hospital after arthroscopic knee surgery within 24 hours of surgery. The recovery time, and the need for physical therapy after surgery are determined by the injury treated and the procedure performed.

Holy Smokes: Batman vs. Superman?!?!
You guys, you guys, MORE BATMAN?! I'm like way to hype just thinking about another Batman movie coming out! If you haven't heard, Warner Brothers has just announced that there will be a sequel to the latest Superman movie, Man of Steel. And it will be either Batman vs. Superman or vice versa, unless they come up with a more clever title, you know, like The Dark Knight.
I am both UBER excited and yet MAJOR nervous. First of all, for this new movie Christian Bale will not be playing Batman. And I don't care what anyone says, he is and will forever be my favorite Batman. Well depending on who does end up playing the new version and how well they do. I'm upset that my beloved Bale will not be making a comeback... I will have more rooted feelings once I know who is going to be taking over the role. There are rumors that Tyler Hoechlin is in the running to take over the role. Can I just say NO. I am not okay with that in any regard. It is too early for him to even be close to getting the part, but I will die inside, not in a good way if he does. Let's be honest, he didn't even make the cut for freaking Edward Cullen, so he sure as hell better not be my favorite superhero! On the other hand I wouldn't be opposed to this...
Also, I strongly disliked Man of Steel... And considering it's a sequel to that and not just a complete stand-alone movie, is kind of upsetting. Yes, I do realize Henry Cavill is gorgeous, but that did not cut it for me in the latest film. If you did see it, you know that the last full hour was a fight. And I mean, I appreciate a good fight sequence, but it was too long and quite frankly, boring. This sequel is going to be primarily a huge fight between the two superheros, so I really hope they add some substance to it.
So, as you can see I'm torn... I am obviously gonna be first in line to catch this movie and find out as many details as I can about it, but it's still so early in the game. The movie is set to release in Summer 2015, so we have a bit of a wait. But that doesn't mean we can't geek out over it now! It was announced at this year's, 2013 Comic-Con in San Diego. What I wouldn't have given to be there.
Oh, and if you are aware of this comic, you know who ultimately wins the battle. Which is why I am uberly excited over this. They best do it justice! And then make Justice League... I know you like what I just did there. ;)
Are you geeking out over the news?
Who do you want to see play Batman?

Congress high command seeks report on Rajasthan minister's resignation
The Congress high command has sought a report from the party's Rajasthan unit on the resignation of Hemaram Chaudhary as the revenue minister to protest the shift in the location of a proposed oil refinery, sources said Saturday.
Chaudhary tendered his resignation Wednesday when some leaders and people accused him of keeping silent as the state government decided to shift the location of a refinery from Leelala to nearby Pachpadara in Barmer district, some 500 km from Jaipur.
Chaudhary represents Gudamalani constituency in Barmer. He claimed that baseless allegations were being levelled against him over the refinery issue.
On March 14, the Rajasthan government had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited) to set up a refinery and petroleum complex in Barmer district, with a nine million tonne per annum capacity.
The government had earlier considered setting up the refinery at Leelala near Barmer town.
In June this year, however, the government announced abruptly a decision to shift the proposed refinery to Pachpadra, near the Barmer-Jodhpur border, and said that the farmers of Leelala were demanding exorbitant sums as compensation for land to be acquired for the setting up the refinery.
Assembly elections are scheduled in the state this year-end, and there are concerns that Chaudhary's resignation would affect electoral equations.
Sources said Chaudhary's resignation might further damage the Jat vote bank of the Congress party in Rajasthan, a prospect which has left the high command worried.
The Jat community, which is a powerful electoral force in the state, is believed to be already moving away from the Congress.
"The arrest of Mahipal Maderna in the Bhanwari Devi murder case and the resignation of Ramlal Jat from the council of ministers had already dealt heavy blows to the party's vote bank. Now, the party cannot afford the resignation of another prominent Jat leader," a senior Congress leader said, pleading anonymity.
People of Leelala and nearby villages have been staging large demonstrations in the area for the past few days, demanding that the shifting of the refinery to Pachpadara be cancelled.
Some leaders supporting the agitation alleged that Chaudhury, the people's representative from the area, had kept mum.
Sources said that Chaudhary had been hurt by the allegations and decided to resign from the council of ministers. His resignation is yet to be accepted.
"State chief minister Ashok Gehlot is trying hard to make Chaudhary withdraw the resignation," a Congress leader said.
A source said the Congress high command had asked the state unit to send a report on the issue, and sort it out immediately.
"State Congress president Chandrabhan and two state ministers A.A. Khan and Jitendra Singh are constantly in touch with Chaudhary," the source said.

Halftime: Three turnovers have Vikings down 28-7 at Bengals
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton took advantage of one of the NFL's worst pass defenses as he threw for two touchdowns and 180 yards in the first half.
The Minnesota Vikings trail 28-7 off of three first-half turnovers that led to 14 points for the Bengals.
Quarterback Matt Cassel accounted for three turnovers as the offense churned out just 100 total yards, the majority coming from 66 yards on the ground. Running back Adrian Peterson returned after sitting out last week due to a mid-foot sprain and averaged 3.4 yards per carry on 10 attempts.
Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap recovered a first-quarter fumble after Bengals safety Reggie Nelson came unchecked on a blitz to force the sack-fumble. The Bengals took a 7-0 lead after two plays from the Vikings' 4.
After a season-high 382 passing yards in last week's win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Cassel went 5-for-14 for 52 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the first half. His 36-yard touchdown to receiver Jarius Wright was his lone highlight as no other Vikings receiver has double-digit yardage.
Bengals linebacker Vincent Rey took Cassel's first interception 25 yards for the Bengals' 21-7 lead in the second quarter.
The Vikings are 0-for-7 on third down, contrasted by the Bengals' 4-for-7 conversion rate in which they converted on attempts from 7, 10, 10 and 11 yards in the first half. Dalton's second touchdown pass went to tight end Jermaine Gresham in the middle of a Cover-2 look for the 16-yard score and 28-7 lead.
• After the Baltimore Ravens elected to kick away from Vikings rookie receiver Cordarrelle Patterson last week, the Bengals gave up returns of 48 and 44 yards on his first two touches.
• Receiver Jarius Wright now averages 26 yards per catch across the last two games after a career-high 95 yards last week and a 36-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's first quarter.
• Linebacker Audie Cole (leg) exited in the first quarter and did not return. Linebacker Erin Henderson switched back into the middle and forced a fumble for the Vikings' lone turnover. The first-quarter fumble led to the Vikings' only score of the first half. Linebacker Marvin Mitchell is now the Vikings' weak-side linebacker in base packages.

Can't win a SB with this kind of 3rd down defense.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Medtronic) -- Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can be life-threatening for people with type 1 diabetes, especially at night when they are likely to be unaware of any symptoms while they sleep.
Since the landmark DCCT trial, researchers and industry have focused on the challenge of reducing the risk of hypoglycemia while helping patients maintain good blood sugar control.
Published online in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), and presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions, new study results report that an investigational Medtronic MiniMed integrated insulin pump with automatic insulin suspension (a feature called Threshold Suspend) safely reduced nocturnal hypoglycemia without increasing A1C (average blood glucose).
Dr. Thrasher from the Arkansas Diabetes Clinic and Research Center in Little Rock was one of the researchers in this study - the first, large in-home study to show the results of the integrated system when Threshold Suspend, which is unique to the MiniMed insulin pump system, is incorporated.
Here is a link to a press release about the results: http://newsroom.medtronic.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=251324&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1832103&highlight

TV Squad: The Week Ahead
Our Monday morning roundup of a half dozen things TV Squad readers - and TV fans in general - will be talking about this week.
1. Wipeout and I Survived A Japanese Game Show: Next season the Japanese will come over here and star in I Survived The Jerry Springer Show. (Tuesday at 8pm on ABC.)
2. The strike: One more week to go before the deadline.
3. The Baby Borrowers: Stars Jamie Lynn Spears and these girls. (Wednesday at 9pm on NBC.)
4. Jimmy Kimmel on The View: He's dumped on them for years and now he's going to be on the show. Should be interesting. (This morning on ABC.)
5. Hey, it's Buffy/Angel Week!: Our retro summer continues with posts about Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel (and everything related to them).
6. Rescue Me minisodes: We really have to think of a better name for these things. (Starts Tuesday at 10pm.)
Are you ready for another strike?
Oh, if only the "reality-free" tag above meant something else when it comes to this.
Just when you thought you could sit back in your comfy chair and watch TV this fall, comes news that possible Screen Actor's Guild strike that has been talked about for weeks is very close to actually happening. The deadline is June 30, and while a lot of people in the industry thought that the contracts signed at the end of the writer's strike earlier this year (ah, remember those days?) could serve as a blueprint, that might not be the case.
Sit Down, Shut Up writers stand up and walk out
And you thought that all that business with the WGA strike was over.
The writers for the new animated FOX show Sit Down, Shut Up have walked out, saying they were misled by Sony Pictures. They thought that under the agreement reached a few months ago they would be represented by the Writer's Guild of America but Sony actually has them covered under the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. Under their rules, writers don't get all those things they fought for, including new media (online, DVD, etc) money or even residuals.
Out of the Blogosphere
What's happening on other blogs via the interweb.
- Doc Jensen has some new theories concerning Lost over at Entertainment Weekly.
- Time's James Poniewozik weights in on Recount and The Andromeda Strain (he liked one and hated the other).
- Oh, for Pete's sake, it was a person's voice!
- Ausiello over at TV Guide has some info about Supernatural.
- Here's the latest on that possible strike (yes, another one).
- Will Al Franken's past come back to haunt him in his Senate race?
- And now, the music of Katie Couric.
AMPTP suspends negotiations with SAG
Raise your hand if you saw this one coming. The prospects for another strike went up as negotiations with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) once again broke down, with the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) moving to negotiations with AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). Among the issues causing the split, and stop me if you've heard this one before, DVD residuals, streaming, and new media. Go figure. One new wrinkle in these negotiations comes in the form of an AMPTP provision that would give them free and unlimited use of short clips of an actor's work in movies and television.
The Screen Actors Guild begins contract negotiations with the studios
Here we go again. We have barely healed from the wounds that the Writers Guild of America strike opened up late last year, now it's the Screen Actors Guild's turn to make us nervous about the television we watch.
Yesterday, SAG representatives began negotiations with the Hollywood studios by swapping contract proposals between the two parties. This is the first time in nearly three decades that the Guild is negotiating solo with the studios since the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) has rejected combined talks. AFTRA is upset with the Guild over concerns that it is attempting to poach its members. The Guild is denying this accusation with the statement that it normally broils its members over a low flame with some butter sauce.
South Park: Canada On Strike! - VIDEO
(S12E04) The South Park guys are going after the Writer's Guild of America, and it's about time.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are not members of any of the unions, and they negotiated Internet profit-sharing before it became an issue for the WGA. They have also remained consistent with their dislike of the Hollywood creative elite (including actors and writers, although they are both) and their willingness to take a different viewpoint than the popular media.
Heroes to start shooting in June ... without Kristen Bell?
Cool news for fans of NBC's Heroes: it looks like the show is going to start filming a lot earlier than it usually does.
Shows usually start filming in July/August for the fall season, but according to Heroes star James Kyson Lee (Ando), the writers strike means that the show will start filming in June, and maybe as early as May. He says that NBC plans to really push the show this year, using the Olympics to hype the show.
That's the good news. The (possible) bad news is that TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Kristen Bell isn't signed for the new season yet.
Out of the Blogosphere
- It's the 60th anniversary of NBC Nightly News.
- Today's tip: if you're selling bootleg copies of The Carol Burnett Show, don't use a newspaper's address as your address. [via Lee Goldberg]
- Should CBS show Dexter, even if it is cleaned up?
- Tom Shales is not happy with Turner Classic Movies.
- What did William Shatner, Tina Fey, and Naveen Andrews do during the strike?
- This may be a silly question to ask on a TV blog, but are you a movie person or a TV person?
- Aaron Barnhart has a list of strike winners and losers.
The CW announces when its shows will return
The "big" return week will begin on April 21, with the return of Gossip Girl, Reaper and Supernatural. The interesting part of this announcement is that the network was beginning to air new episodes of some of their shows; the eps were shot before the strike and it looked like the network wasn't going to hold them back and air them after the walkout was over. Now, it looks like they are. So, those of you who were starting to get used to the idea of new Smallville and Supernatural episodes, for instance, are going to have to watch some more reruns for a while.
By the way, if you're wondering where the network's longest-running show, Girlfriends, is on this list, the network decided to cancel it.
NBC cleans house at Last Call with Carson Daly
First Carson Daly got a lot of heat (and hecklers) for going back to work while the Writers Guild of America strike was still going on. And now NBC has rewarded his loyalty by firing nine Last Call with Carson Daly employees, including three of those writers.
NBC post-strike: some series return soon, Chuck, Life, Heroes return in the fall
The first release confirms what we had been guessing at since we got the news of the settlement: Chuck, Life and Heroes have all been picked up for 2008-09, but none of the shows will return until the fall. The second release discusses the return dates of several shows (list after the jump). It's not as helpful as CBS's release because it doesn't tell us how many episodes are left (so, for all we know, we'll see the Scrubs conclusion on DVD, as Bill Lawrence told Mike Ausiello). But at least we know when all of these shows are coming back -- April 10 seems to be the big day for fans of 30 Rock and The Office, for example.
Now we have FOX, CW, and ABC left. Think they're going to step up to the plate soon?
CBS publishes list of post-strike returns
It looks like some of the shows -- most notably, three of the network's big four Monday comedies -- are going to have close to a full complement of episodes for the season (for instance, there will be nine more episodes of the only show on this list I care about, How I Met Your Mother). It looks like fans of The Unit, Cane, and maybe Shark will be out of luck until fall. And Swingtown, the risque drama about swinging couples, will resume production, meaning that we'll finally see this series the network announced way back at last year's upfronts.
It was nice of CBS to do this. Let's hope the rest of the networks follow suit.
SNL returns on February 23, with Tina Fey as host
Michael Ausiello has an updated list of when your favorite (or not-so-favorite) shows will be returning now that the strike is over, and now comes word that not only with Saturday Night Live return rather quickly, on February 23, but the first post-strike show will be hosted by 30 Rock's Tina Fey.
The show plans to do four consecutive weeks of new shows, which is one more than they usually do. This is not only because of the strike but also because it's an election year and the show has missed out on a lot of prime satire they could be doing (well, let's hope that it will be prime). I look forward to their mock Obama/Clinton debates and cast members impersonating John McCain and Mike Huckabee. And since Bill Clinton is so involved in this election, Darrell Hammond can have a regular spot again.
Juno star Ellen Page will host the next show on March 1. No word on who the musical guest will be for these two shows.
Will actors' contracts impact the number of new episodes we get this spring?

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - General Motors Corp. on Tuesday managed to post a slight September sales improvement while rivals Ford Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. handed in declines reflecting the sluggish state of the U.S. economy.
GM GM, -1.47% feeling no significant impact from a two-day strike last month, reported sales of 334,974 light vehicles in the U.S. during September, up from 334,025 a year ago due mostly to a strong showing from its new line of full-size pickups and SUVs.
"We're still experiencing lots of noise and concerns regarding the economic headwinds and the potential impact on vehicle sales," GM sales analyst Paul Ballew said. "I expect that to persist into [the fourth quarter], given what's happening in housing and given what continues to happen in terms of the headwinds associated with energy prices."
Ford F, -0.13% kicked off the flurry of sales reports with a drop of 20.5%, setting the stage for another tough month for the industry in the wake of a deep summer sales slump.
Still, September's closely-watched seasonally adjusted annual sales rate came in at 16.2 million, according to Autodata.
That's an improvement from the mid-15 million range in June and July, which were the worst back-to-back months since a much longer GM strike in 1998 crippled sales.
Ford said it sold 189,863 cars and trucks last month, down from 238,848 a year ago -- a decline that was even worse than many analysts had expected.
"Employing the sport of golf as a metaphor, I think the industry parred a difficult hole in September, even though it was below trend," Ford's top sales analyst George Pipas said in a conference call. "And I don't think we were quite up to par."
Rental sales, as part of Ford's planned reduction, again drove the decline, plunging 62% while retail sales dropped 15%. On the car side, sales fell 38.9% while trucks slipped 9% from a year earlier.
Lincoln, on the strength of its MKX crossover, was a bright spot with sales up 32.6%. Land Rover chipped in with a record number of sales, up 21% thanks mainly to the all-new LR2.
The flagship Ford F-Series truck, long the nation's best-selling vehicle, saw its sales drop 20.8% amid stiffer competition in the segment and a steep downturn in the U.S. housing market.
Chrysler, which was taken private by Cerberus Capital Management in August, also pinned its 5.4% decline on a pullback in rental sales.
Still, car sales saw a 19% rise while trucks fell 11%.
DaimlerChrysler's DAI, +2.35% Mercedes-Benz USA reported that U.S. sales rose 13% last month to 22,459 vehicles. The company said its new 2008 C-Class model jumped 42.8% during its first full month on the market. DaimlerChrysler will change its name to Daimler pending shareholder approval this month.
There was one fewer selling day in September 2007 than a year earlier. The results are unadjusted for this story.

DOUBLE DANGER for Walt Slade, undercover ace lieutenant of the Texas Rangers. He is the man most feared by the owlhoots and drygulchers of the old Texas Border. The sight of this tall lawman with the lightning-fast draw astride his great black horse, Shadow, symbolizes defense of the innocent and the end of reckless careers of lawlessness. Walt Slade trailed a killer from Texas through Mexico, all the way to Tombstone, Arizona--only to find the owlhoot riding at his back. And when he turned to face him he found he was not only up against his prey, but also in a showdown with Wyatt Earp, most famous marshal in the West. Slade had to get his man, but first he had to face death at the hands of Wyatt Earp.
"There's one man I wouldn't want to cross!" So said Wyatt Earp after his first meeting with Walt Slade. He didn't know that he had just threatened the undercover ace of the Texas Rangers, but he realized that he had faced a gunfighter without a flaw, a two-gun killer with perfect coordination of hand and eye and a clear, cold, hairtrigger brain. At that moment Earp knew that Tombstone wasn't big enough to hold both of them--alive!

On the very last day he found himself sitting alone in an empty hallway with a one way boat ticket in his hands. The cememted courtyard outside was ful of his classmates, shining along with the spring sun in their white dresses and black suits, but he himself had nothing to celebrate. He had given in to the pressure from his teacher and accepted a series of lower grades than he deserved for his hard work, all for the sake of equality.
His calm breaths a requiem over a wasted youth, or so he felt. This was going to be his last failure, his last defeat. Never again was he going to suffer such humiliation at the hands of anyone that tried to hold him back or push him down. He didn't say goodbye to anyone, he just went home, packed his bags and left.
Behind him: a burnt soil where nothing but envy and mistrust could possibly grow.
Ahead: everything else and the ocean.

These are some of my naughty tips for making things really hot in the bedroom.
Premature Ejaculation. Do you cum too fast? I got an email from Carmen about a problem she is having with her boyfriend shooting his load too soon. More Info
Girls shave your pussy. If you are in a monogamous relationship, have an open conversation with your man about his preference for a hairy, trimmed or totally shaved pussy. There are some guys who prefer a hairy bush, but otherwise you need to shave that pussy girl. In my opinion there is no excuse not to at least
keep your bikini area trimmed up. A poll
on shaving I did a little while back showed that a huge percentage of guys prefer just a little landing strip or totally shaved. Here are my tips for shaving your pussy. I shave mine once a week. Try to just make one pass of the razor over delicate areas. Pubic hair tends to be thick and dense so crank up the
warm water and shaving cream! Don't be afraid to get crazy with the shaving cream or gel. A nice, thick lather will help the razor glide and
keep your skin moist. With the hair growth or against the hair growth, it's up to
you. Keep in mind that shaving against the grain gives you the
closest shave. But if you're sensitive to razor burn, try
shaving in the direction of your hair growth. Once you've finished shaving, use an alcohol-free,
unscented lotion. my pussy shaving pictures
Most of the guys I have known intimately have shown an interest in getting in my back door sooner or later. I was very afraid to try anal for a very long time. Some of my girlfriends had told me about their experiences which were usually quite painful. Giving your ass to someone is a very submissive act. Of course your ass is very tight so it hightens the feeling for the guy. It is both a mental
and physical thrill. If done right it can be fun for both partners. I posted a poll about anal sex awhile back. The responses from the men and women didn't exactly jive. Over 50% of the women claimed to either like or occasionally participate in anal sex, while only 18% of the guys said it is a regular part of their sexual routine. Perhaps this can be explained by the open sexual attitudes of the women who visit my website. Speaking
for myself, I have to be in a relaxed and horny mood to enjoy anal. The horny part isn't a problem, but if I have had a stressful day at work, I am not going to feel like being butt fucked that night. It also helps to have a few drinks. There are several positions that will work for anal sex, but my favorite is to being laying on my back with a pillow under the small of my back. I usually give my partner
one of my smaller dildos and ample ky or other sexual lubricant and coach him to slowly insert the dildo while I massage my clit. Your guy has to be really hard to make this work and his cock needs to be covered with the lubricant. Do not even attempt this without a lubricant made specifically for sex. Even after using the dildo to relax my sphincter muscles, my man has to be very careful when inserting his cock. Once he eases the head in, he can slowly thrust his cock up into my colon a little
at a time until it is totally inside of me. Length isn't a problem, but an exceptionally thick cock just may not work no matter what. I have been with guys who were as big around as a beer can. I'm sorry even a bottle of Jack Daniels and a case of KY lubricant isn't going to help with that. For me it takes a full two minutes for my ass to be fully relaxed even after my guy is fully inserted. When I am having anal sex for the first time with a guy I always talk openly with him
about it first and tell him what to expect and what I need from him if it is going to work. Sometimes a guy has trouble keeping his cock still enough for the time it takes me to relax and still maintain an erection. His instict is to thrust too soon which can ruin things. It helps to talk dirty to your man or rub his nipples or even put a porno on the TV for him to watch. I talk nasty to my man and tell him to be a good boy for a little longer while I play with his nipples. I
slowly grant him permission to start thrusting his cock in me. Once things get rocking I start playing with my clit and I can usually cum a couple of times before he does. I also tell my guy that once things get going, he needs to just forget about me and concentrate on getting a good nut. This isn't the time or place for any prolonged orgasm control tricks. More than one guy has been ejected from the party before finishing because they couldn't play by the rules. Most of the
guys I have been intimate with seem to be attracted to the slut in me. I can be a nasty girl and cross the line from naughty way into the nasty zone. I totally love it when my man gets a thrill from watching me do something especially nasty. If I know my man can handle it, I will have him take a ring side seat after shooting his load in me and while I am still on my back I will pull my legs up and do what I call a cum fart. I push like I am going to fart and let him watch his cum drip
out of my ass.
How to give the perfect blow job. I gave my first blow job when I was in 8th grade. I didn't have a clue what I was doing back then, and I was surprised when my 18 year old cousin Jeff ejaculated in my mouth. He started saying "I'm, cumming, I'm cumming and I didn't know what he meant. I tasted the salty slippery fluid leaking from the tip of his
hard penis as he pushed my head down firmly.
I had no idea he was about to erupt in my mouth. Jeff called out with pleasure and his cock began to jerk and shoot his sperm down the back of my throat. I tried to spit the funny tasting fluid out, but Jeff had a strong hold on my head and he kept thrusting his slippery cock to the back of my throat. I started to gag and choke and he told me to swallow it. That was the start of my obsession for sucking cock. By the time I was in 10th grade, I had developed some serious
cock sucking skills which I take great pride in and continue to perfect.
Girls this is my technique for giving a great blow job. A great blow job is planned and your man will remember it if you take the initiative. Make sure you are looking good and smelling good and you are somewhere where you can kneel between his legs while he is sitting. The location for the perfect blow job is very important. You need to be somewhere where he can relax and not have to worry about being seen or heard. Whisper in his ear that you want to suck his cock and then take
his hand and lead him to a chair and push him down to a seated position. Remove his shirt and suck on his nipples and slowly kiss your way down to his crotch. Don't take his cock out yet. Put your mouth over his cock and blow your hot breath through his pants onto his cock which should be throbbing right now. Slowly unzip his pants and help him out of them. Don't try and give him a BJ with his cock sticking through his zipper. Get him out of his pants so that you have total
access to his balls. Stroke his cock while licking the shaft while making eye contact with him. With your mouth a couple of inches away from his cock, spit onto his cock. Make a dirty nasty show of it. Stroke your spit up and down the shaft and slap the head of his cock against your tongue. Now make your way down to the base of his cock and push his cock back onto his stomach so that you have total access to his balls. Make sure he is sitting forward in the chair so his balls
are kind of hanging out there. While you stroke his cock, begin to lick his ball sack. Take your time with this. He may be anxious for you to take his cock into your mouth, but believe me he will appreciate this if you take your time. Gently take his balls into your mouth one at a time. Some guys are extremely sensitive so be very careful. If you are brave enough and really want to blow his mind, run your tongue behind his balls and lick the area between his balls and his asshole.
Run your tongue as close to his asshole as you are brave enough to get. Most guys get really hard when you are doing this. Continue to make eye contact often and encourage your guy to watch you. Now make your way back up to the head of his cock and take the head into your mouth. Get up on your knees so that you are in a good position and angle to get his cock deep into your mouth. I will not go into deep throating, but if you learn how to get your guy's cock into your throat,
you will own him. Use your dominant hand to grip the shaft and take your other hand and with your forefinger and thumb, grab his testicles close to his body so that you are gripping the loose skin above the testicles. Be careful not to squeeze his actual testicles, make sure they are below where you are gripping with your finger and thumb. As you suck on his cock apply constant downward pressure on his ball sack. Don't jerk or stroke his balls, but apply a constant pull. As he gets
closer to an orgasm, you will be able to increase the force. Take it slowly. Now the best way to describe the perfect blow job is to think of it as a face fuck. You will start the rhythm, but you need to let your guy set the pace. As he gets into it make sure you match your rhythm to his. Let him be as aggressive as you can handle. If he gets aggressive, moan with pleasure and approval. Let your mouth and tongue do most of the work, and use your hand only as a slight
assist. Avoid long strokes of his shaft. Most guys find this annoying and avoid any twisting motions. Remember that the most sensitive area of your guy's cock is on the underside just below the tip. As you suck, give this area some firm pressure with your tongue and lips. At some point during this face fuck you will take a short break and look your man in the eyes and tell him you love to suck his cock and tell him you want him to cum in your mouth. Go back to work and
get into a synchronized rhythm with your guy. Don't make the mistake of trying to go to fast. When your guy is close to cumming you will know and this is the time to go gonzo on his cock. Hard fast sucking and milking with your hand. Pull down on his balls and let your stoking hand go all the way to the base of the shaft to simulate how it would feel for him if he was slamming his cock into your pussy right now. Now there are two proper ways to finish the job. The first way
is to take his cock into your throat as he starts to cum and let him pump into your throat until he is ready to pull out. Milk his cock with your mouth and hand but keep the head as far back in your mouth or throat as you can comfortably handle. Don't be the first one to stop. Let your guy be the one to pull his cock out of your mouth when he is ready. The other way to finish the job is to take your mouth off as he starts to cum and grip the shaft firmly just below the head and jack him off
putting on a nasty show for him. Jack him off and onto your tongue and lips and let him see it shooting into your mouth and onto your face. When he has finished cumming take his cock into your mouth and gently suck it clean and swallow all of his cum. Take your finger and wipe any cum from your lips and eat it while he watches.

Ouch, it was a terrible Saturday afternoon for Duke in Washington, D.C. as Georgetown completely dominated the Blue Devils 89-77. Playing in front of the President and Vice President, the Blue Devils came out lack luster and appeared that they had just woken up five minutes before the game.
The defense was absolutely terrible. There is no reason that you should allow this Hoya team to score 89 points when they came into the game averaging just 73 points. The defense was very lack luster as Greg Monroe, Austin Freeman and Chris Wright all scored over 20 points for Georgetown. There is no excuse for letting that happen.
The other thing that went against Duke was 16 turnovers. When you are allowing the opposing team to score 89 points there is no way you can turn the ball over 16 times. You have got to do a better job handling the ball and getting it to the open guy.
Just a terrible day overall.

Life in the ACC Conference sure isn't easy. All it takes is looking at the scores from last night as both Duke and North Carolina lost to tobacco road voes N.C. State and Wake Forest. One thing is for certain, this Duke team needs to come out with high intensity every game or else they are going to have games like they did on Wednesday night against State where they lost 88-74. It all starts on the defensive end…
Duke has now lost six of their last eight conference games on the road. Ouch, that has got to change!
The Wolfpack snapped a three-game losing streak against the Blue Devils, as they shot 58.2 percent from the field. Duke just couldn't seem to slow down Tracy Smith (24 points) and Dennis Horner (20 points). Someone has got to step up on the defensive side of the ball and also play tough defense without fouling.
Kyle Singler was the leading scorer for Duke as he finished with 22 points. Jon Scheyer was closely behind with 21 points on the night.
It's back to the drawing board for the Blue Devils and I can only expect to see a couple of tough practices before they travel to Clemson for another conference game on Saturday night.

Things started off pretty slow Wednesday night for the Duke Blue Devils but they came out strong in the second half and outscored the Eagles 41-24 in the second half to pull away for the 79-59 victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Nolan Smith tied his career high with 24 points to lead the Blue Devils. The balanced scoring attack for the Blue Devils consisted of Kyle Singler (15) , Jon Scheyer (12) and Miles Plumlee (12).
That game was close in the first half as Boston College dominated the paint and kept the game close 38-35. The Eagles were led by Reggie Jackson who pumped in 20 points. Duke did a good job against the rest of the Boston College team so it's alright that Jackson scored 20 on his own.
Duke improves to 14-2 on the season and will play next on Sunday against Wake Forest. Wake is always a tough game for the Blue Devils so hopefully they come out in the first half and set the pace in the game. Until then, GO DUKE!

It was a rough game for the Duke down in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon as they dropped a tough game against Georgia Tech 71-67. The Blue Devils just couldn't slow down the Yellow Jackets in the second half as they put up 42 points in the second half. The Duke defense did not show up and either did the offense.
Jon Scheyer took a couple of a bad shots late in the game as he tried to bring the Blue Devils back but he came up short with air balls. Scheyer did finish the game with a game high 25 points but the rest of the offense played like crap.
Freshman Mason Plumlee scored ten points but he was the only other player to score in double figures. Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith both chipped in with nine points each but if you asked them, they should have put the ball threw the bucket more then they did.
I wonder if Coack K will be more upset with how the defense or offense played. To be it is all about the defense as they didn't lock down and play good d in the second half. The first loss in conference play is always a tough one, the Blue Devils will need rebound quickly as they got another tough game on Wednesday against Boston College.
Enjoy your weekend Duke fans.

Coack K and Jon Scheyer went back home for a little homecoming on Wednesday night as Duke played Iowa State in Chicago at the United Center. Scheyer was the main man against the Cyclones as he lit up the United Center for 31 points as he led the Blue Devils to a 86-65 win. Duke is now 7-0 all time at the United Center.
Duke's offense was not just about Scheyer as Nolan Smith put down 20 of his own points and Kyle Singler chipped in with 15. Yep once again the Blue Devils were led by Scheyer, Smith and Singler. That's going to be the case this season so lets hope everyone stays healthy.
I can't forget about Lance Thomas who also had a pretty good game. Lance knocked down two quick shots in the first couple minutes of the game and finished with nine points on 4-5 shooting. If Lance can stay out of foul trouble he can really help out on both ends of the court. I just don't want him shooting too much when you have Scheyer, Smith and Singler on the court.
Up next for the 13-1 Blue Devils will be a clash against Georgia Tech on Saturday. A good road game that should test the Blue Devils down in Atlanta.

Whats up Duke fans? You have probably been wondering where our game recaps have been for the last three games? Well to be honest, I wasn't able to catch more then a few minutes of each game so I didn't feel like I could come up with that good of a game recap to write on the blog. I was updating Twitter @justdukecom during the games a little bit however so if you are on Twitter, please add us!
I'll be back to blogging about Duke this evening when they take on the Iowa State Cylones in Chicago. Check out@justdukecom for some live in game tweeting as well as the blog after the game.

Q: The neighborhood garbage is collected once a week. Each household is allowed one can, but we seem to generate more trash than our neighbors do. Is it OK to put our excess in a neighbor's half-empty can?
B: Ask first. Don't assume your neighbor "won't mind," especially if you pay for trash pick-up and removal. The couple next door will likely be more receptive to your refuse overflow if you offer to contribute a little extra to the expense in exchange for convenience.

I've seen the episode of Good Eats about fried pies/pasties, so if I tried really hard I could tell you some stuff about the history of them. But I made like 50 fondant bras at work today, and my brain is all mushy, so I'm gonna let Google and The NY Sun take over:
Fried pies are little hot-pocket semicircles of dough that are filled with fruit and, as the name implies, deep-fried. They're particularly popular in the South... Tradition claims that the "pasty" was originally made as lunch for Cornish tin miners who were unable to return to the surface to eat. The story goes that, covered in dirt from head to foot, they could hold the pasty by the folded crust and eat the rest without touching it, discarding the dirty pastry. The pastry they threw away was supposed to appease the knockers, capricious spirits in the mines who might otherwise lead miners into danger... The pasty's dense, folded pastry could stay warm for 8 to 10 hours and, when carried close to the body, could help the miners stay warm.
How's that for a history lesson? Well, I thought it was interesting. Anyway, on to my next point. The "Sounds of the Season" channel is playing the most awesome German music from now through Oct. 4. Usually, I have no interest in German music, but for some reason as the outside air becomes brisk and the season for pumpkins and apples falls upon us, German music just seems right! Lol, I'm sure you don't trust me, so if you get the Music Choice channels I encourage you to try it out this week. Don't be surprised when you find yourself wishing you had a German playlist on your iPod next time you leave the house.On to point numero tres. When I think of fried pies, I can't help but remember those Hostess pies my dad used to bring home from the Newport News Shipyard when I was a kid. He always picked my brother and I up from daycare on his way home, and a few times a week his pockets would be full of Hostess pies. His favorite was lemon, so all other flavors were scarce. But when I saw that red wrapper peaking out, I knew he'd brought a cherry pie for me! When I see those pies now at the grocery store I pass them up, but I enjoy the memory. :D Never fear, fried pies aren't out of my life forever. Thanks to Stephanie Velez, who was kind enough to send me her duplicate copy of "Screen Doors and Sweet Tea," I can make my own fried fruit pies (without the nasty Crisco film on the roof of my mouth, sorry Hostess, but you know it's true!). This book is really lovely for anyone who enjoys the history of food in the South. The stories, recipes, and pictures are full of nostalgia. For these pies, I used the filling recipe and instruction from "Screen Doors," but I used my go-to pie crust recipe for the crust. They are so delicious! The allspice makes them perfect to eat during the winter months. The only thing I'd change next time is to reduce the vinegar from 2 tablespoons to 1. The taste of vinegar didn't cook out like I expected it to and it was pretty noticeable. Other than that, these are perfect!I could just *hug* my camera for snapping this mouth-watering shot! ;)
Peach Fried Pies (from Screen Doors and Sweet Tea by Martha Hall Foose)
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons vegetable shortening or lard
3/4 cups whole milk
2 cups chopped fresh or frozen peaches (I used 3 large peaches)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar (I'd reduce to 1 tablespoon next time)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
Canola oil, for frying
MAKE THE PASTRY. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening until no pieces are larger than a pea. Add the milk and combine, using a fork. Gather the dough and knead lightly for 1 minute. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
MAKE THE FILLING. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the peaches, brown sugar, and allspice. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the peaches are juicy. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and cornstarch. Add to the peaches and cook and stir for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and glossy. Stir in the lemon juice. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish to cool.
In a small shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
MAKE THE PIES. Roll the dough 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. With a sharp knife or cutter, cut ten 6-inch circles (I used an inverted cereal bowl). Place 2 tablespoons of peach filling in the center of each circle. Beat the egg with I teaspoon water. Brush a thin line of egg wash around the edges of the circles. Fold to form a half-moon shape. Lightly press out any air pockets. Press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal. Pierce one time on top of each pie with a fork to let steam escape while frying. Heat 1 inch of canola oil in a large skillet to 375°F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet lined with newspaper or paper towels. Gently place the pies, two at a time, pierced side up, in the skillet. Fry to golden brown, turning once, 2 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and let drain briefly on the wire rack. Toss in the cinnamon sugar and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Incumbents Jerry Carlson and Jim Dobbie are running to retain their seats. They will be on the ballot with Bill Widmer and Cary Wiest.
Councilman Charles Marsala chose not to seek another term.
The election of three council members comes at a time of divisiveness and strife in the small, affluent community. The town has been hit with a number of lawsuits, two of which it recently settled at a high cost to its general fund. Two pending legal conflicts are based on complaints against the town's police and building departments.
Employee compensation is rapidly driving up town spending, and is a major cause of a structural budget deficit. As a result, there is a growing call for the town to seriously study options such as outsourcing services to reduce staff.
Councilman Jerry Carlson said he's running for another term to address "some big, unfinished business." Among the issues he wants to focus on is "reinventing the town's financial structure."
He said that Atherton, like most financially strapped towns, will have to tackle tough wage and benefit issues with employees, and "look at the way town services are delivered" and options for changing those methods.
Mr. Carlson has been a leader on the high-speed rail issue, serving as the town's representative on the Peninsula Cities Consortium, and chairing the town's rail committee. He voted to support Atherton's joining with other cities to sue the High-Speed Rail Authority.
His involvement with high-speed rail issues has been challenged by some residents, who say that he has a conflict of interest because he lives near the tracks.
The town attorney recently reviewed the charge, and determined that Mr. Carlson's participation in those issues didn't constitute a legal conflict of interest because his house is sufficiently distant from the tracks — about 710 feet from the right-of-way.
Mr. Carlson is on the Town Center Committee, and is Atherton's representative on the City/County Association of Governments in San Mateo County.
Now retired, he spent many years in finance positions, and was Hewlett-Packard's first corporate controller, he said.
Councilman Dobbie could not be reached for comment before press time.
He was elected in June 2008 to fill the council seat vacated by Alan Carlson, who resigned because he was moving from town. Before that, Mr. Dobbie served on the town's Planning Commission and General Plan Committee.
Mr. Dobbie, a retired high-tech executive, now serves on the town's finance, audit and transportation committees.
An Atherton resident since 1996, Mr. Widmer is a member of the town's Audit Committee, and participates on its Finance Committee.
While his two children were growing up, he was active in the community as a soccer coach and referee, and in other youth programs. He has attended council meetings "here and there" since moving to town, but for the last two years has been a regular attendee, he said.
Now the deputy vice president for commercial management for France Telecom's Orange Business Services, Mr. Widmer said he has worked for 30 years "at the forefront of high-technology organizations."
His work and civic experience, plus his commitment to accountability and listening to residents, make him well-suited to serve on the council, he said.
Areas he said he'd work to improve include fiscal management of the town, and communication between the town and its residents. "I think we should expect more (from the town), and I think I can help get more," he said.
Mr. Wiest, a real estate appraiser, moved to Atherton in the latter part of 2009, he said. Although that hasn't given him much time to participate in local civic matters, he has been involved with San Mateo County issues.
He was a member of the San Mateo County Charter Review Committee, convened last November to review the county's charter and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on issues such as by-district elections and how to fill vacancies on the board. He also has been involved with youth programs, he said.
Mr. Wiest is currently a member of the county's Jail Planning Advisory Committee, which is examining possible locations to build a new jail.
Before moving to Atherton, he lived in unincorporated San Mateo Highlands, and was active on that neighborhood's community association for about 10 years, serving for a time as president, he said.
Mr. Wiest said he has attended some City Council meetings since moving to town, and "monitored the town's (issues) through the newspapers." He said his involvement in neighborhood and county government issues for the last 10 years gives him the kind of experience that "would be a real contribution to the town council."
He comes in "with a fresh face and with neutrality ... and without baggage," he said.

10 [Remember MySpace?] Survey Questions With… Janeane Garofalo
Okay, guys. Seriously. How much do we love this week's participant? So. Much.
Everyone has their favorite Janeane Garofalo movie: The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Reality Bites, Mystery Men, Wet Hot American Summer… she played a seasoned FBI agent in Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, sarcastic analyst Janis Gold in 24, White House Communication's Director Louise Thornton in West Wing and Paula on the hilarious Larry Sanders Show. A personal favorite of mine was her role as Mabel Buchman in the series finale of Mad About You. You can also hear this Emmy-nominated actress' voice in the Disney/Pixar favorite Ratatouille.
Janeane doesn't use e-mail, and since that's how I have my interviewees answer the survey questions (literally, what you've seen is what I've cut and pasted from their responses – we're too legit to quit around here, people), she was kind enough to answer the questions for me over the phone. So thanks, Janeane! PS: Everyone, add her to your "people I want to have coffee with" list. Coolest. Person. Ever.
Janeane is in a new film called General Education, about scheming recent high-school graduate and unfairly-earned tennis scholarship recipient Levi Collins, who – unbeknownst to his parents – didn't quite graduate. Secretly, Levi must attend summer school to earn his missing credits while brushing up on his lackluster tennis game without his parents knowing. It's in select cities and hit iTunes on August 24th, so make sure you check it out.
Check out Janeane's website and be sure to watch her comedy special Janeane Garofalo: If You Will. And now, I present to you:

GU Law graduates turned in a spectacular performance on February's Washington State Bar Exam, Dean Earl Martin said today.
"I am pleased to announced that our graduates performed exceedingly well on the February, 2008, exam," he said.
Ninety-two percent of graduates taking the exam for the first time passed, the best results on the exam's winter version for "well over a decade," Martin said.
Eighty-one percent of all GU graduates taking the exam passed, easily besting the state average of 74.3 percent.
"Our overall pass-rate placed us second in the state behind only the University of Washington Law School," he said. "This exemplary pass-rate is the result of much hard work on the part of our faculty and staff, but mostly it speaks to the quality and the commitment of our recent graduates.
"On behalf of all of us at the Law School, I want to congratulate all of you, who are now poised to take their place in the profession. We are very proud of you."

Offsetting your Carbon Emissions
At the Nature Trust we are very conscious about our carbon footprint. Learn how you can take action to help offset your carbon emissions. The emissions from flying can be particularly harmful to our environment. To help account for this environmental impact, we encourage participants to add $200 to their fundraising goal as a symbolic offset for carbon emissions and to further protect our environment. These funds will go directly towards the conservation of wilderness in Nova Scotia, reducing the impacts of climate change and restoring vital habitat for wildlife.
What is the Carbon Footprint from the flight?
Approximate flight distance from Halifax to Chile, return: 19,000 km (1.9 tons of CO2)
Estimated cost to offset this through land conservation: $200

Over the last several months I've been fascinated by the talk around Data Visualization. It's one of those things that when you see it done properly, its brilliance immediately strikes you. Good Data Viz can illuminate and educate, inspire and entertain. I also understand that this is an area when I am a student and am happy to turn it over to the pros. So, with this post I want to share some of the smartest stuff I've seen, as well as provide you with some original commentary from Patricia McDonald, Planning Director at BBH Labs. I'll also add some thoughts of my own on where I think DV can best touch the average person.
Here's a quick run down of some must read material on Data Visualization:
Manuel Lima is a leading thinker in the area of Data Viz, and recently laid out his Information Visualization Manifesto. Make sure you read the comments as well.
Now, take a look at this video of a talk on the subject Manuel gave:
Those super-smart cats at Made by Many are all over this of course, so check out what they have to say as well.
I'll wrap up this intro with a post by Jim Carroll, Chairman, of BBH London that was featured on the BBH Labs site, which also has a great follow-up on Lima's Manifesto.
This is all pretty heady stuff, so I've turned to Michael Surtees of DesignNotes to put things in a bit of perspective. He also offers some handy resources on the subject.
And here's where I found myself asking, "How can Data Visualization be most relevant to me?" Patricia McDonald was kind enough to offer the following:
