Surgeons Repair Complex Aneurysm Without Major Incision
"Fenestrated Graft" Procedure is the first ever done in Nebraska
Jamie Reynolds is a living, breathing reminder of why it's important to stay on top of your own health. The 78-year-old grandmother from Omaha says she always goes for an annual checkup. Her most recent one showed something she neither felt, nor expected – an aneurysm in her aorta.
"I got a CAT scan and an MRI and that's where they picked it up," Reynolds says. "They told me I had an enlarged aorta. I said, 'What's that?' They showed me where it was positioned."
Reynolds' primary care physician referred her to vascular surgeons Matt Longo, MD and Jason MacTaggart, MD at The Nebraska Medical Center. They explained to her that the aneurysm, or bulge in the aorta, the body's main artery might best be repaired with a new type of minimally invasive surgery – placing a fenestrated graft inside the aorta.
Dr. Jason MacTaggart (left) and Dr. Matt Longo (right) begin the fenestrated graft surgery to repair Jamie Reynolds' aorta.
Reynolds didn't have to think long about whether or not to go through with it.
"I said, 'Let's get busy!'"
"A graft is a fabric tube we use to replace a blood vessel wall," explained Dr. MacTaggart.
For several years, medical center surgeons have been repairing aortic aneurysms endovascularly by guiding a fabric and metal mesh graft, compressed to the width of a pencil, through an artery in the leg. Surgeons position it inside the bulging aorta without doing surgery. Reynolds' aneurysm was located in the spot where the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys branch off from the aorta. That meant surgeons could not place a conventional graft inside the aorta without cutting off circulation to the kidneys. The fenestrated graft provides "branches" from the main graft that allow blood to continue flowing to the kidneys. Doing such a repair with only two small incisions in the leg is a major advancement.
"Historically, when we've seen aneurysms in that area, we've been forced to do open aneurysm repair," Dr. Longo says. "Which involves a big incision on the belly and sometimes the leg. Open surgeries have higher complication rates, longer hospital stays, and usually mean a much, much longer recovery for the patient."
That point was not lost on Reynolds, who is proud to be the first patient in Nebraska to have this type of procedure done.
"I told my doctor, 'Oh, I made history?' And we laugh about it," she said. "The technology is better now. They went through my groin which was much better than going through my tummy."
Dr. Matt Longo looks at an X-ray image of the fenestrated graft inside Reynolds' aorta.
Drs. MagTaggart and Longo describe the operation as an exercise in teamwork.
"While Jason is working on one side to bring the graft up, I can work simultaneously on the arteries that supply the gut," Dr. Longo explains. "That's the trickiest part; making sure we have everything aligned."
There are several pieces to the fenestrated graft: the main graft that goes inside the bulging aorta, and the side branches that will line the kidney arteries and connect to the main graft. Each graft is custom-made for the patient's specific anatomy.
"Essentially, we put them together on the inside," Dr. MacTaggart says. "It's similar to an erector set we played with as kids."
Using X-rays, the surgeons carefully guide the grafts into place. When all parts of the grafts are connected, they use dye in the blood stream to make sure the blood is flowing properly and that the aneurysm is sealed off.
The Nebraska Medical Center is the only hospital in the state providing this surgery.
"There are only a handful of places where you can have this done," Dr. Longo says.
"The advantage here is that you have five surgeons who are very involved with aortic and vascular surgery," says Dr. MacTaggart. "Ten eyes are better than two."
Both surgeons say Reynolds' surgery went very well. She recovered quickly and was back home a few days after her operation. A recent checkup showed her newly reinforced blood vessels are doing very well. And she has important advice for anyone.
"Don't put off getting a physical. I go every year. And this one saved my life."

A few things need to be said about this bulletin board.
First and foremost, I am very proud of the quality plumbers that take their precious time to answer questions and help people. Without them, there would be no list. Their knowledge and expertise are impressive. I know that they try to answer what they have knowledge of with kindness and well meaning. If some questions are left unanswered for a time, it's because nobody wants to give out misinformation.
With this in mind, I remove posts that I feel are against the spirit I would like to see. I like the list here to be helpful with a little humor involved. I expect homeowners (read customers) to post to and use this list, as well as plumbing professionals that enjoy sharing their knowledge. I expect the plumbers to treat the customers well.
Since I don't accept advertising, as I have my own products listed for sale, I prefer that people not post their advertising on my site. I will at times post information about products and web sites I feel would be of interest to those visiting the list. I don't mind if people post their company name in addition to their name, as this is their credential for their expertise.
If you feel that you've been helped by this list, let the plumbers know. It means so much to have good feedback. It's wonderful to print out a kind note to show the wife and kids.
"Hey look! they really like me!"
If you think this is a good and helpful web site, help spread the news to your friends.
"Hey, I've seen this really cool web site about home remodel that you've just gotta see! You can search over 6,000 pages of remodel information, including low-flow toilet reviews, kitchens, baths, bulletinboard and a bathroom tour of the Gates Mansion. It's at www.terrylove.com"

|The Emery County Commission hears plans for 4-H in 2005.
"We're planning a cool camp for 4-H kids this summer," said Tawny Conder in a presentation to the county commission. The camp will center around a western theme with horses and western activities during the three day camp. This camp is for all 4-H club members and will also include the Carbon County 4-H this year. The county 4-H members recently went on an opening activity to Provo where they went shopping, had lunch and watched a movie. They thanked the county commission for the use of the county van for this activity. The 4-H members also presented the commissioners with a cake as a token of their appreciation.
Conder is selling elk jerky and sticks as a fund raising project where she is donating half the proceeds to the horse 4-H and half to the teen council. Commissioner Drew Sitterud suggested Conder sell the jerky at the county fair. Jody Porter, 4-H advisor, said they had 13 members attend the first planning meeting where they discussed camp and their service project. Their proposed project includes placing welcome signs at each end of the county to welcome visitors and let them know there is an active 4-H in the community.
The commissioners liked the idea of the signs and suggested they contact the Utah Department of Transportation for the rules governing signs along state highways, even though the signs will be on private land. Suggested language on the sign was, "Emery County 4-H welcomes you. The 4-H teen council is at work to make a better community."
The 4-H fund raiser is April 1-3 in room 218 in the county building in Castle Dale. A photographer will take family photos for this fund raiser.
Delena Fish gave the workforce service update. She said workforce services is working to help bring an occupational training center to the area to train people for work in the energy related fields. Deb Dull for Utah Power met with the regional council and the leaders of the coal industry to discuss these needs. The Southeast Utah Applied Technology College is gearing up to offer course work for different certifications in the mining field. A 12 month course or three month courses are being planned. They are working to accommodate the mining companies needs and curriculum is being prepared now.
Workforce services is supporting training for the medical field as well, to keep the area supplied in their medical needs. The commissioners pointed out the trouble with training people and then having them leave the area. Sen. Orrin Hatch is sponsoring legislation which offers enticements and incentives to keep medical providers in rural areas.
Fish reported they have seen an increase in those receiving assistance from their office. They currently have 301 families receiving food assistance; 51 financial assistance; 23 childcare assistance; 248 family medical; 118 disability medical, 41 other types of medical.
Fish explained the financial impacts to the county of the services they offer which brings money into the county. In one month's time $65,125 in food stamp benefits could be spent in the county. Total services bring $2,374,303 into the local economies yearly.
The commission is sending a letter to the congressional representatives and senators about the Bureau of Land Managements resource management plan. The letter states, "It is our desire to work with the BLM to develop a plan that represents Emery County's priorities and that will help sustain a viable economic base for the county residents." The county wants the Washington representatives to become involved when the RMP document reaches the Washington Office of the BLM and look out for Emery County's best interest.
The mystery of the Ferron library high heating bill has been solved. Commissioner Kofford had the situation investigated and the thermostat at the library is defective and the air conditioning as well as the furnace has been running leading to the high heating bills. This has been an ongoing problem for the last couple of years. The other libraries are being checked and new thermostats installed. Several problems with the furnaces in the libraries have been identified.
Commissioner Sitterud reported he had met last week to write the grant for the digital TV reception. The grant is to buy equipment and each county is responsible for their own building and power. They will approach the CIB for funding at their April meeting. He also reported attending the retirement party for Lowell Braxton and attending the cowboy caucus where rural issues were discussed at the legislature.
The state currently has 26, RS-2477 roads in court or legal action of some type and 11 of these roads are in Emery County. Commissioner Ira Hatch reported that he and Ray Petersen, public lands director met with Patrick Gubbins and Sally Wisely from the BLM for an update on the RMP.
Hatch said he attended an open house honoring 10 years for SITLA. They recognized past and present board members. He also attended the legislature and met with the representatives from the county's district. He attended a weed conference in Cedar City.
Commissioner Kofford said there will be a meeting to establish a county fire plan on March 30 at 9 a.m. in the county building.

Colorado native Mollie Martin, formerly known as Mollie Cullom, is running for Arapahoe County commissioner in District 3 seat. In recent years, the Centennial Democrat has challenged Republican David Balmer for state House District 39. Balmer, because of recent redistricting, is now running for the open seat in state Senate District 27.
Born and raised in Boulder and Durango, Martin attended Loretto Heights College, and later received a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the University of Colorado.
Her website describes Martin as having a passion for the arts, and while living in New York City pursued an acting career. She would later go on to receive a graduate degree in social work from Columbia University.
Martin has worked as a mental health professional in the Cherry Creek School District for 13 years, and has also served on the Juvenile Services Planning Commission.
Colorado Community Media asked the following questions of candidates in the Arapahoe County commissioner District 3 race.
Below are Martin's answers.
What makes you the best candidate for this office?
My education and professional experience focus on social policy and community needs assessment. In my work each day, I promote common ground, negotiation, and consensus among stakeholders. I often facilitate a process to come up with solid solutions that serve the needs of students, their families, teachers, the schools, the county sheriff, courts, county Department of Human Services, and other public agencies.
My experience working with an agency as complex as ACDHS, from the "five-foot" perspective, will bring a practical and in-depth understanding of how this department and our other large public agencies can be made more effective and efficient.
What do you see as the biggest challenge facing the district and what would you do to meet that challenge?
Part of my challenge in representing the 3rd District is the diversity of needs. Along the I-70 corridor, the challenge is making sure voices from the eastern end of the county are heard — issues such as the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, the exorbitant cost of bringing a family to the county fair, pest control of prairie dogs, public transportation, delivery of county services, and overall accessibility.
As for the jail, I am very focused on bringing a discussion about serving the needs of the population with mental illness and chemical dependency issues in a more productive way in order to prevent recidivism. I see a vital importance on treatment, as our jails have an overflow of need in that arena.
In terms of water, I think it is critical to increase public education about our reliance on limited and rapidly declining groundwater aquifers to supply water to many county residents. The steadily declining levels in our aquifers actually will require more wells just to sustain current water production rates.
What can the board of commissioners do to ensure that oil and gas drilling is done responsibly in the county?
I am in favor of local control when it comes to the issue of regulating oil and gas production — especially when it comes to hydraulic fracturing. Public safety is first and foremost. I support the moratorium that the City of Centennial has placed on fracking until we have better data about the impact on public safety. I also support the idea of setbacks being enforced.

My girl is 10 months old & has slept in her crib since 3 months. She was sleeping great but over the last few months it had gotten more erratic. She is teething right now & is either fighting going to sleep for at least an hour & a half or is waking in the night for upwards of 1 1/2 to the longest, 3 hours last night. I am still breast feeding, feeding her to sleep. We were @ the place where if she woke up before 5, my husband could rock her back to sleep pretty easily. Now, I am feeding her in the middle of the night for at least an hour. She is eating plenty of solids. I don't want to let her cry herself to sleep, but I either hurt my back stooping over her crib to rub her back or, if I pick her up, as soon as put her down, she starts to cry again (asleep or not). During her nap during the day, she really only sleeps very long if she sleeps on one of us. We don't want to co sleep and I am frazzled. Any suggestions?
No announcement yet.

Food allergies, cold or ear infection, other discomfort......
It does sound like a drastic change. Developmentally a lot happens at 10m. Is she eating new foods? Is there any other new thing happening in her life?
Try not to think of it backwards...thing of it as a change and maybe the catalyst for a new better stage of sleeping after she works past whatever this is. It may be her only way to 'tell' you what is going on with her.
Senior ********* Being The Change I Want To See!

Naomi has some very good points and that is usually the case. I want to add a different perspective to think about maybe the child is taking a step back.
With all of my children, biological or not, I have noticed with all aspects of their lives they move forwards, then backwards, then make these great bounds. I even notice that of myself when I think about it.
Sometimes when you are about to do something that is change... going backwards is comforting and soothing, almost like a last look at what was so you can get ready for what will be.
With children sometimes that backwards can take a bit longer. I notice it with Ronnie the most because I am no longer rushed by life like I was the girls and the other children that lived with me.
He was a terrible napper during the day without me and it was because he really wanted to be with me. With my older girls similar happened but again, I was in a rush, so much to do, so little time and with him there are times I feel that way and then I realized if we all napped together, then I actually was getting more done because I had more energy. I wasn't feeling drained emotionally or physically from trying to get my child settled and because his needs were being met, after a couple of months he was fine again to nap. A short time span considering I know mothers that struggled for years because the child never felt his needs were met and it became an endless loop. (I was one of those mothers years ago)
My guy also nursed in the middle of the night at least one time until he was three. It was his cycle and the way that he metabolized his food & drink. Even now he wakes up for a sip of water. I know many people can't bear the thought of having to be woken and I was fortunate to have my grandmother remind me her youngest child nursed through the night until he was four and that was all night nursing. Her sisters all had 16, 17 & 19 children, all breastfed, each child different in the nursing patterns and sleeping patterns, but they also had small homes and everyone slept together so it made it a lot easier.
I understand that you don't want to co sleep. Is her crib in your room? Can you bring the crib to the side of your bed and put the side down so you can put your hand in to soothe her? Is there any alternative you can find along those lines so that she knows that you are there for her?
Peace & Blessings,
Thank you so much for your kind responses. It isn't that I am opposed to co-sleep, I wouldn't be a member if I was . When she was younger she slept in a bassinet right next to us & it was very simple to reach over & sooth her if she wasn't settling. We would frequently have her sleep with us for a few hours, early morning, until we all got up. The transition to her own room/ crib was seamless. I am sure you are right that she is working through a new phase, every night is different. As for food allergies, she is eating a lot of new food but as soon as she gets picked up she stops fussing so I can't imagine that allergies would be the cause. I really appreciate the perspective & just need to refocus on comforting her when necessary. Maybe through this stage I can go ahead & bring her back in to bed with us. Since it was such a smooth transition before & she seemed ready, maybe you are right that when she is through this she will resume sleeping on her own with no problems. Thank you!

There is a lot of 'dance' forward and backwards. Sometimes it is hard and it seems like two steps backwards happens before two steps forwards!

A Closer Look At How The Canucks Have Owned The Northwest Division
Dimitri Filipovic
January 11 2013 12:53PM
"If you stop looking maybe they'll stop beating us so badly!"
After you see something happen time and again right in front of your very eyes, you come to expect it. It's human nature. You simply stop thinking that there could possibly be any sort of other outcome.
And that's why you may have noticed that in Jeff Angus' preview of the 2013 season, where he answered questions from readers in a mailbag format, there was no one losing any sleep over where the Canucks would finish in the standings. Anything can happen in a 48 game season - pigs could fly, the Wild could manage to fight off regression, even - but Canucks fans have just come to expect a Division title and a seat atop the Western Conference standings.
I take issue with people who look to undermine the Canucks' accomplishments over the past two seasons. Obviously Presidents' Trophies aren't the ultimate goal, but there's a reason the regular season takes place. The Canucks have absolutely dominated it, leaving no real doubt as to who the best team was. Just because they fell 60 minutes short, and then ran into a juggernaut who was sipping on some special sort of health elixir, doesn't take away from the other 164 games over that span.
How have the Canucks managed to make it look so easy? Well, it doesn't hurt that their two leaders have been the most consistent players in the league over the years. But more than anything, they've been able to run wild all over the Northwest Division.
Read Past the Jump for More on their Dominance of the Northwest.
The Canucks head into this season with 4 consecutive division titles, dating back to 2008-09. That year, they squeeked it out over the Calgary Flames by a two point margin, providing more evidence that Lawler's Law is in fact a real thing. I'll remember that season as the last one in which the Flames were even remotely relevant.
Since then, though, the division really hasn't been contested. Below are the results of the 'race', in grasph form for you visual learners, over the past 3 years. You'll note that I included each of the other divisions as well, just to show how significant the disparity between first and second place has really been.
The Canucks have really managed to take it to a whole other level over the past two seasons, in particular. They hold a 36-9-3 record against their Northwest Division rivals over that time. I'll spare you the math, and assure you that it's an exceptional winning percentage. They've accumulated just over 78% of all the possible points they could have earned and they haven't exactly been gutting out the wins, either; they've outscored their opponents by a grand total of 156-94. It really hasn't been all that close.
Against the rest of the league, they're 68-33-15, which is still rather impressive, but a drop down to 65% nonetheless. That shouldn't come as a surprise though, because there are some very good teams residing in the Central and Pacific divisions.
How long can we expect this to last? Sports usually tend to run in cycles, unless you're the Detroit Red Wings or San Antonio Spurs. Surely the competition will catch up to the Canucks sooner or later, right? I think this is the basis for the 'window' discussion that every fan in Vancouver seems to feel obligated to have.
The Minnesota Wild had a great couple of weeks last season, and made a big splash by landing two big-time free agents in July. The Edmonton Oilers will stop at nothing to draft every single forward at first overall ever. The Calgary Flames have the Stampede, which I can vouch for as a grand time.
Yet oddly enough, I think their biggest current threat is the team that's garnering the least national attention - the Colorado Avalanche. Even though the Avalanche have not been able to beat the Canucks in regulation since 2009, I am quite a fan of what Greg Sherman has been able to do in constructing that team.
On paper, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find too many teams with a forward corps in place that make more sense as a unit than theirs. That's assuming they're able to sign
Russian enigma Canadian warrior Ryan O'Reilly before he tells them to shove it. But they're still very young on the back-end, and unless Tyson Barrie is ready for top-four duty (a big if, but not impossible based on the season he's put together in Erie so far) it may not be their time to put it all together just yet.
The back-to-back Presidents' Trophies have been, in part, made possible by the relative incompetence of the division that the Canucks have played 24 of 82 games per season in. This year, they play 18 of the 48 against those teams (an even higher percentage). They should retain their advantage this season but going forward: the Canucks won't be able to lean on dominating the team's residing in the Northwest the way they have in the recent past.
Ultimately, I suspect that the improvement of teams like Colorado, Edmonton and Minnesota will be of larger consequence than the perceived problems with age that the team currently has...
The canucks play the NW teams 8 times more per season than the other Western teams. With the winning percentages you meantioned, that works out to 8*(0,78-0,65)=2.08 extra points per season. So the canucks gained 2 more points by playing in the NW division. Doesn't seem like whole lot.

Charles E. Bessey Nursery Showcases its 'Babies' – Seedlings That Will Become 'Forests of the Future'
Two million seedlings will grow up one day to become the forests of our future.
The vision for all of those trees is part of the mission of the Charles E. Bessey Nursery, part of the Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands, and the oldest federal seedling nursery in the nation.

Neil MacGregor, Director, British Museum
On this day, 260 years ago, the British Museum – as we know it – came into being: on 7 June 1753, the first British Museum Act received royal assent, and the first public national museum in the world was established.
It's worth pausing to reflect on what a revolutionary moment this was. Until that June day in 1753, collections of objects like ours were the preserve of royalty, or private gentlemen. The decision by the British Parliament to acquire and display the collection of some 80,000 objects collected by the physician Sir Hans Sloane was truly extraordinary. And it's a point worth celebrating 260 years later.
Parliament was proclaiming the right of every citizen to information. Everybody was to be enabled to explore their place in the world, in a collection which embraced the whole world, free of charge. Knowledge was no longer to be the privilege of a few. And this knowledge should not be controlled by Government. So the British Museum was to be governed by independent Trustees.
The result of this new institution, it was believed, would be a new kind of citizen – free, informed and equipped for independent thought. This was what a British citizen ought to be and so Parliament called it the British Museum, the private possession of every citizen. It was the first Parliamentary institution to be called British.
These founding principles are as true today as they were over two and a half centuries ago. The Museum remains a repository of the 'history of the world' with objects dating from two million years ago to the present day.
The Museum has grown exponentially over that period, from 80,000 objects in the original bequest to around eight million today, covering all countries of the world throughout time. The collection continues to grow to reflect our contemporary world. It remains a collection available to a global citizenship, and they do use it. From 5,000 visitors in 1759, to around six million walking through the doors last year, not to mention around 27 million virtual visits to the Museum's English, Chinese and Arabic websites.
Since its foundation the British Museum has witnessed the reigns of 10 monarchs, experienced five royal Jubilees, and has survived – more or less unscathed – numerous wars, revolutions and civil disturbances and financial crises. The original collection has spawned two other great institutions; the Natural History Museum and the British Library.
But what is it about the Museum collection that makes it so enduring and relevant after 260 years? For me it's the perspective it allows on the world today. The collection is witness to the long history of human endeavour. Thus it can shed light on present-day Iran or Syria by showing their long and complex histories. Closer to home the work of the Portable Antiquities Scheme reminds us of the diversity of the UK's national identity, literally uncovering the treasures beneath our feet, the discovery of which often re-writes history – such as the Vale of York Hoard or the Hallaton helmet.
Everyone has their favourite memory of the Museum or an object in the collection which is particularly resonant. I remember being brought as a child to see the Rosetta Stone. An uninspiring lump of rock to look at perhaps, about that most boring of subjects – tax – but the key to an entire civilisation and rightly one of the most famous objects in the collection.
But there are a host of other less well known treats to discover, from the Tree of Life made from decommissioned weapons from the Mozambique civil war, to the extraordinary Mughal Jade Terrapin and the cinematic Perry scroll commemorating the moment that Japan opened up to trade with the West in the nineteenth century.
Today the British Museum has become truly Britain's Museum serving global citizens across the UK, something which Parliament in the eighteenth century could not have dreamed of. This map shows the extent of the Museum's work across the country last year.
Every object seen at the Museum and further afield tells multiple stories and histories and provides insights into our complex but fascinating world. This is the power of the British Museum and it is worth celebrating.
This post was updated on 7 June to include visitor numbers for all the Museum's websites.

Great purchase!
"I was looking for a boot that not too high and comfy..these are perfect! I can walk in these all day at work without my feet hurting. I love the heel on these which makes them easy to walk in. They do run true to size but I must add that since these boots do not have a zip it was a struggle at first trying to slide them on but the opening stretches out over a few days."

2 Strikes....
"I love this boot...it is true to size, comfortable and the leather is soft and smooth, however.....after wearing 6-7 times the inside top of the shoe collapsed causing a crease in the leather and made uncomfortable to wear. I returned to store and ordered a new pair. Now I just received them and they are damaged! The "strap" on the back was ripped off from the boot. So now I have to go back to the store AGAIN to return. I am willing to try one more time but 3 strikes and they're out."

"They fit perfectly and are well made. Love the colors, too. There was no breaking in required, and the spiderweb look is sexy--the perfect mix of sassy and sophistication. They are a little long compared to what I normally purchase in terms of the "pointy" look, but I like them. I get compliments every time I wear them, but only if the heel is showing. W/o the heel being visible (i.e. Skirt, rolled jeans, etc), these become normal almost a brown mauve stiletto.They get dinged up pretty quickly, but I am *incredibly* rough on my shoes and commute by foot in SF."

Angry in victory
by Howard Simon
posted Oct 15 2012 12:00AM
A strange thing happened on Sunday, moments after Rian Lindell's field goal gave the Bills an overtime victory against the Arizona Cardinals. I was angry with the Bills. I don't ever recall feeling that way after a win. I've been there many times after a loss but never after a win.
For the first time in his tenure as Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills, Chan Gailey had drawn my ire. I won't leave out Ryan Fitzpatrick either, who remains consistently inconsistent when it comes to throwing the football.
There were too many times where Gailey's play calling left me scratching my head and some of it may have been influenced by Fitzpatrick's struggles.
Approaching the end of the first half, the Bills got the ball at their own 20 yard line with just 54 seconds left and no timeouts. Gailey called three short pass plays which gained 8, 4 and 7 yards. When Fitzpatrick spiked the ball after the third completion, the Bills had only moved to their own 39 yard line and there were just 11 seconds left in the half. Fitzpatrick was sacked(on a 3 man rush) on the next play and the second quarter came to an end.
Now let's move on to the fourth quarter. With the game tied at 16 thanks to Jay Feely's career best 61 yard field goal, the Bills have the ball at their own 20 with 1:09 remaining. Fitzpatrick is sacked on first down putting the Bills in a 2
and 16 hole and Gailey plays it safe the next two plays with Fred Jackson running up the middle for a total of nine yards.
The problem I have is that Arizona had their full complement of time outs when the series began so they stopped the clock after each Bills play. That three and out took a grand total of 19 seconds off the clock, leaving the Cards plenty of time to get downfield and give Feely a chance to win the game with a 38 yard field goal attempt.
Next stop is overtime. The Bills get the ball and get a big break on a pass interference call on the Cards which allows the drive to continue. A 17 yard run by C.J. Spiller gives Buffalo a first down at the Arizona 35 yard line. Gailey then proceeds to call three pass plays for a quarterback who is 25
in completion percentage and whose 56% completion rate in this game was lower than his season average which is 58%.
A safety blitz throws off the play on first down and a T.J Graham drop kills second down. On third and ten, Fitzpatrick has a wide open Fred Jackson at the Arizona 30 yard line with plenty of room to run after the catch. It is an easy first down and at the very least, would give Lindell a very makeable field goal attempt. But Fitzpatrick made a terrible throw and missed Jackson, badly.
Gailey decided to punt at which point I let loose with a stream of obscenities. I know the new overtime rules figured into the decision and Gailey felt he could take advantage of a rusty John Skelton who was now quarterbacking the Cards but to me that was coaching not to lose instead of coaching to win.
Even if Lindell makes it, Arizona still gets the ball with a chance to tie the game and extend overtime or win it outright but Gailey had a chance to put his team in front and instead gave the ball back to Arizona and gave them a chance to win.
I saved the best one for last. The Brad Smith pass out of the wildcat. To me this is another example of an NFL coach outsmarting himself. They probably felt the Cards were not expecting that and why would they given the fact that Smith hasn't thrown a pass all season. In fact, he'd only thrown one pass as a Bill(it was picked off).
Your team is leading 16-13 in a game it really needs, so they can stop a serious amount of bleeding. You are moving the ball(from your 41 yard line to the 36 of the Cards) and there's only four minutes left in the game. If there was a moment for a conservative play call, that would have been it but Gailey opts to have a guy who hasn't thrown a pass all season put it in the air? And a deep ball too?
One quick point on the decision not to have Lindell try the 53 yard field goal. It got me thinking, maybe the Bills think Lindell can't hit it from that distance although Gailey told us on Monday that Lindell hit one from 50 in warm ups. Gailey said he's not a big fan of 50+ yard field goal attempts.
Is it because he doesn't like it or because Lindell can't hit it? In 2010(Gailey's first season as Bills coach), Lindell tried five field goal attempts of 50+ yards but hit only two. Last year there were no attempts from that range and there have been none this season as well.
It wouldn't be a Monday recap without documenting a handful of throws to open receivers that were missed by Fitzpatrick. I already made reference to the worst one, in terms of when it happened and the potential effect on the outcome of the game, when he missed Jackson on a short pass in overtime.
In the first quarter, Fitzpatrick threw behind Stevie Johnson on a slant. In the second quarter, again Johnson was open but Fitzpatrick's pass sailed over his head. On the very next play, Fitzpatrick once again threw behind his number one target.
In the third quarter, he moved around the pocket to avoid the rush and saw an open Scott Chandler but the pass went down towards Chandler's feet.
Fitzpatrick is now making me think of his two predecessors at the position. He has the inaccuracy of J.P. Losman and the inability to throw downfield as demonstrated by Trent Edwards.
The good news is the Bills did win the football game but there's a big picture here and this was a day where I lost faith in the Head Coach and was further convinced Fitzpatrick's days should be numbered, as in the end of the season should be the end of his Bills career.

Foreclosures and the Failure of the American Land Title Recording System
Tanya D. Marsh
Wake Forest Law School
January 10, 2011
Columbia Law Review, Vol. 111, No. 1, 2011
In this essay, Marsh argues that the current foreclosure crisis should serve as a wake-up call for a long-overdue modernization of the American land title recording system. Lenders invented the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS) because the land title system, developed in a far different time and place, failed to meet the needs of the modern real estate industry. But a private MERS-like system is not the answer. Instead, Marsh argues that the federal government should implement a solution that replaces both the existing local land title system and MERS.
An ideal system should be organized around some clear principles. It should be transparent. It should be easy to search, through dynamic, robust indexing, and easy to access, preferably through the Internet. Documents in PDF form should be down-loadable. Electronic filing should be facilitated. There should be uniformity and consistency in the rules governing the form and substance of documents eligible for recording. The system should be public. Establishing and protecting a clear registry of property interests is and should continue to be an essential function of government.

Meg Wise, Smith's executive director (and coordinator of the work teams), expressed appreciation for Asplundh, PECO and Lentzcaping's help in getting the playground spruced up and making it safer for visitors.

If I go to Mangashare last, then when I open up Opera again it will open up at mangashare. Anyway I can set it to open at my speed dial page?

I switch between Firefox and Safari. Everything I need is in both of these. I've tried Opera and Chrome and it just didn't fit with me.

The browser of my choice would have to Opera because it's fast reliable and more convenient for me since I have 1.5gb of RAM and that's not a lot to run these resource hog browsers like chrome and firefox.
You have a computer with 1.5 GB of ram in 2013? Son, it's time you upgrade.
I'm using Firefox, but I go back and forth between Firefox and Chrome depending on how Adobe developers fuck up their flash updates. I use Adblock and have NoScript in case I need it, but I mostly keep it off. I also have some tiny UI changes for AddOns that don't affect much other than aesthetics. One AddOn I love that needs better support from its developers in Thumbnail Zoom. On big websites like Facebook, Youtube, Google, and IMDb, when I hover over a thumbnail it creates an overlay with the full sized picture. It is fantastic for browsing google images. I also have the 4chan AddOn, which sadly isn't as powerful as the Chrome variant.
One problem I have with Chrome right now is mostly back-end stuff. It uses more CPU for basic processes and for plugins than Firefox does, but Firefox uses more RAM. Even though I have a pitiful 4gb of RAM, my CPU is in more dire straights so that's the trade-off I have to deal with.

|In response to Re: toilet tank leaks so that it refills spontaneously every 20 minutes or so.
: CW= Colton Ware
: I can't seem to find any existing web site on them. They may have been bought out.
: As far as finding a "ready made" kit for it, that's a bit hard to do. There is a large variety in the way toilet tanks are plumbed.
: If you can get a new flush valve to work and seal, the yes, you are on the right track.
: : Our condo has "off-brand" toilets The mark on them is CW. The tank on one has a leak so that it fills spontaneously every 20 minutes or so. None of the hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe's or Dixieline) recognizes the CW mark, so replacement parts for it present a problem. We have replaced the flapper to no avail (the flapper we replaced was a cantilevered type.) So now we're in the process of replacing the whole toilet flush valve with one that has a flapper valve that is not cantilevered; the only problem is, the overflow pipe has to be cut down to a 6" height (seems strange we couldn't find a kit that came "ready"for the job.) Are we on the right track to solve the periodic leak? Does anyone recognize the CW mark, and can advise us about proper replacement parts? Thank you for this great site.
We replaced the whole flush valve, but had to adapt it to our toilet by shortening the overflow pipe. The replacement also had a styrofoam float which we removed. But there is a glitch: the flapper doesn't seal in its seat and there is a leak between the tank and the bowl. Did I buy an improper replacement part? HELP!

"I was surprised to see these were available at my local store and to see they had my size. I knew the reviews leaned more toward the uncomfortable side, but I had to take my chance with something this hot. The event I went to had plenty of opportunity to sit down so I didn't have issue with comfort. I can definitely see that this shoe would be a struggle to stand in all night so be wary of that. For as great as this looks, (even with jeans) I'd say it's worth it."

Awesome Shoe!
"My boyfriend actually picked out this shoe for me. I wanted a dressy black shoe, and he pick this one. It is an awesome pick, but I thought it would be uncomfortable. Due to the heel and small to no platform to help ease any pain from long term standing. I have a wide foot and the shoe was true to size, and I was able to dance all night. But my feet started hurting after three hours on my feet. Over all a great buy and gorgeous shoe."

Gorgeous shoe
"This is a beautiful shoe! They are not the MOST comfy pair of heels but lets face it, with a shoe like this you're not purchasing it for the comfort level! I ordered the magenta colored pair and the color really popped. Got compliments all night."

"I bought these shoes in the red; I was disappointed when after one wear the fabric on the heels started to unravel. I have never had a problem with any of DSW shoes but returning them was not a problem. I got a new pair have not worn them yet but hopefully these will do better. This time maybe I wont drive in them; I think that was the problem. Still love me some DSW."
