"Pheasant Confit"
To "confit" something, is to cure it in salt and then cook it slowly in fat. It makes the meat buttery and fall off the bone. Is there anything that sounds more glorious than that? It is common to see it done with duck legs, and other muscular cuts of meat, but here I've done it with a slew of pheasant legs that I brought back from my women's Adventure […]Pin It

Although vaccine recommendations are individualized, in general I recommend rabies every three years, DA2PP every three years (on opposite years to lessen antigen numbers), and Lepto yearly as it has increased in prevalence in our area. No one can legitimately dispute the rabies and lepto intervals as both are potentially zoonotic, and if you fail to give those at FDA intervals, kiss your license goodbye if you have an outbreak and human exposure. I believe you will find these to be reasonable recommendations based on our current vaccine knowledge. I am not "hooking" anyone and will gladly run titers for any client trying to extend the DA2PP interval.
Lastly, as I had no clue about the Rabies Challenge Fund, I visited their website. I applaud their efforts in extending the duration of immunity studies for rabies. This is important and potentially beneficial research for sure which may reduce those occasional animals who have severe vaccine side effects. Unfortunately the "facts" are still out and anyone who claims otherwise is just voicing another opinion.

Red Wolf
Basic Facts About Red Wolves
The red wolf is a smaller and a more slender cousin of the gray wolf. It is gray-black, with a reddish cast that gives it the color for which it is named.
© John & Karen Hollingsworth / USFWS
The red wolf's diet consists primarily of small mammals such as rabbits and rodents. Also known to eat insects, berries and occasionally deer.
Almost hunted to the brink of extinction, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rounded up fewer than 20 red wolves to be bred in captivity in 1980. As of 2007, approximately 207 captive red wolves reside at 38 captive breeding facilities across the United States. However, fewer than 45 red wolves currently live in the wild.
Historically, red wolves ranged throughout the southeastern U.S. from Pennsylvania to Florida and as far west as Texas. Today, wild populations roam more than 1.7 million acres throughout northeastern North Carolina, including Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.
Red wolves are primarily nocturnal (active at night), and communicate by scent marking, vocalizations (including howling), facial expressions and body postures.
Shy and secretive, red wolves hunt alone or in small packs -- complex social structures that include the breeding adult pair (the alpha male and female) and their offspring. Red wolves tend to form pair-bonds for life.
Size of the pack varies with the size of available prey populations. A hierarchy of dominant and subordinate animals within the pack helps it to function as a unit. Dens are often located in hollow trees, stream banks and sand knolls.
Mating season: Late winter.
Gestation: 60-63 days.
Litter size: 2-8 pups.

- Very well done... by Daniel on 5/6/2013
I have watched numerous Christian movies. Many times they can contain poor acting, poor special effects, or a lousy plot. I thought this movie was very well acted. It is not flashy, but it's not meant to be. It conveys a beautiful tale of a story in the Old Testament, while at the same time showing how the timeless truths of God's Word transcend through the ages. It does this through it's modern application in the lives of a group of teenagers. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did. I highly recommend it!
- Fantantic Movie! by Brittney on 4/9/2013
This movie fantantic! And well done. I love the story of the main characters Hosea and Gomer. Also, I love the flashbacks of past (Hosea and Gomer) and present (Youth pastors and young campers). Great Film!
- An excellent resource about God's Love by Pastor Cruz on 2/17/2013
This is a movie that has inspired me to follow what Jesus stated to his disciples: "Love one another as I have loved you". It penetrates to the heart and shows us that it does not benefit to just love those who love us, and that we must not be lukewarm Christians who only fill up a pew every single Sunday-God has called us to do great things, and that includes loving those who are lacking love. God bless!

Lusciously creamy cottage cheese with toasted pecans tops refreshing fresh fruit—very retro!
You can use 1 (6-oz) container of Yoplait® Original 99% Fat Free yogurt (any fruit flavor) instead of the yogurt in the recipe if you like.
To toast pecans, cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown.

Parent Conference Night is today. I love when parents show interest in their kids. Sadly, only a small percentage does.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Above all this, though, I blame the drop off in comic book readership over the past 20 years. I know, this may sound bizarre, but I'm an English teacher readership and circulation are way down compared to when I was in high school in the late 80s. Apart from that, comics are no longer priced or written for kids.
Not to mention that they're available only in specialty shops which, in most areas, aren't in places kids would be going anyway. You don't get that introduction by finding a comic based on a movie or toy you know at the grocery store or gas station (most people don't even go into gas stations anymore), then finding out that there are entire stores devoted to this unbridled awesomeness. Even things like Free Comic Book Day, which should really heighten awareness, are essentially for folks who are already reading. (The comic shops have to pay to carry the books. Why doesn't Diamond use the proceeds to run an advertising blitz?)
I don't blame video games for the downturn in comics. They were around in the 1980s. The NES, SNES, GameBoy, and Sega Genesis were all on sale and massively popular during the sales heyday of the early 1990s. People tend to forget that.
Given how many people claim they learned to read, or became interested in reading, as a result of comics, you really have a point there.
That's my jacket!
My wife is beginning to sport that "light at the end of the tunnel" look!
Through a weary face, of course....
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Am getting closer to finishing those pesky research projects; here's hoping their quality improves, however.
I avoid being a "countdown" person, as it makes one less focused and, well, tunnel-eyed. But there are 12 left, with the last three as half-day finals (two classes per). But who's counting?
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
1) Why was conference night so late in the school year? That may be one reason for the low turnout.
2) The turnout rate is usually pretty good for elementary schools. Most parents recognize the need to keep on top of things for their elementary school age students.
While parents should turn out regardless of age, I know the expectation is that students, when they reach middle and high school age, the need to "be in the know" isn't as great.
I have about 75% turnout for my 5th grade class during our open house and even greater for conference days and nights.
Of course scheduling conferences and having parents blow them off is a different story.
Oh and congrats to the California based teachers. You will surely have and extra jig in your step this week.

|2.17 in x 2.17 in x 2.17 in / 5.5 cm x 5.5 cm x 5.5 cm
Product Description
Warning! This is one of the hardest of the rotational puzzles.
This may look like a regular 3x3x3 cube but its not. You will notice that the edges only turn clockwise and anti-clockwise back to their original positions. Which makes it even tougher to solve as you will have to rearrange the pieces according to how the sides move. A very well made cube.
Designed by Katsuhiko Okamoto San
Official Quarter Cube ( Latch Cube II ) from Japan (in a plastic box)
The Quarter cube is a 3x3x3 cube in which each face can only have 2 states.
It's a simple idea and built with simple structure. That's all.
All faces can only turn clockwise one turn. The only other place each face can turn is anti-clockwise back to its original position.
The Quarter Cube (Latch Cube II) is made from a hard black plastic. The idea of this puzzle is to scramble all 6 faces
and then return it so that there is only one color on each side. Although this cube looks like a normal 3x3x3, it is
actually much harder as each face can only turn clockwise 90° and then back 90°, significantly limiting your ability
to move things around. The Quarter Cube is manufactured by Chronos Co., and was designed by Katsuhiko
Okamoto San.

Good puzzle, but slightly overpriced. This is exactly the same as the Constrained Cube 90, which is cheaper. This puzzle is a little bit easier than the original Latch Cube, but still a very fun solve.

One day she's concentrating on her acting career, the next she's signing with one of the music industry's most powerful people.
Kylie Minogue announced via Twitter that she has signed with Roc Nation, the record label, management and publishing company founded by hip hop star Jay-Z.
"Kisses from my new home rocnation (sic)," she tweeted, along with an Instagram picture of herself in a Roc Nation T-shirt with pursed lips.
The company acknowledged the signing with a brief statement on its website.
"We would like to welcome Aussie singer, recording artist, songwriter, actress and designer Kylie Minogue to the Roc Nation family!" the statement read.
It went on to list Minogue's achievements - her 11 studio albums, two live CDs and more than 50 hit singles worldwide, including the Grammy-winning Come Into My World.
"Needless to say, we're excited to have Kylie join the Roc fam."
It hasn't taken long for Minogue to be fully integrated into the Roc Nation family - as a special guest at the company's post-Grammy benefit concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on Sunday, together with Timbaland and Deadmau5.
In January Minogue announced her split with long-time manager Terry Blamey which led to speculation she was retiring from the music business to concentrate on movies.

In this view from the West Van Buren Street draw bridge looking north, you can easily see the Jackson Boulivard draw bridge. The draw bridges are still operated and are raised for the tall masts of sailboats, but most of the traffic (barges and architectural boat tours) easily pass under the bridges.

Does the expression 'In the Wild' still mean anything today? Well yes, in the sense of something that is 'out there' threatening real-world systems. But things move a lot faster these days than they did in the 90s and later, fastburning mass-mailers notwithstanding.
Just a few days ago (on the 30th of November, to be precise) Intego – quite rightly – flagged the OS X spyware it calls OSX/Dockster.A as low-risk, because it had been found on Virus Total but wasn't known to be in the wild. As of yesterday, the thing had gone decidedly feral, though in a context that ensures that relatively few readers of this blog will see it. Intego may have been right in thinking that the binary found on Virus Total was some kind of test before letting it out into the wild. Acting on a tip-off, F-Secure found it lurking on a web site associated with the Dalai Lama. In fact, Hxxp://gyalwarinpoche.com (I don't want you accessing it accidentally as I don't know the protection status of your machine!) is the Dalai Lama's Tibetan language site, set up in 2010. According to Sophos (which calls the malware OSX/Bckdr-RNW), the site was compromised (again) back in October, and right now it's serving the Java-based exploit CVE-2012-0507 (also used by Sabpab and Flashback) to push the Dockster malware.
This relatively simple backdoor trojan, found on Virus Total, provides a remote shell to give a remote attacker access to the system, provides a channel for downloading additional files, and has keylogger functionality. Presumably, it's another attempt to monitor and/or attack people who follow or sympathise with the exiled Dalai Lama. As remarked elsewhere, it's not only an effective way of gaining access to those followers with unprotected machines, but by compromising a system associated with a trusted religious leader, they also do harm to his cause, and it would be naive not to suspect that was part of the motive.
Fortunately, whatever you may have heard to the contrary, anti-virus is not dead and does not only detect known viruses: AV companies have detected the Java exploits for some time, and the malware sample cited by F-Secure as OSX/Dockster.A has been detected by ESET since October 16th as OSX/Agent.AB.

When my friend had her son a couple years ago, the lactation consultant told her that there was no need to wake him up to eat during the night... that he would cry if he was hungry and that it was okay if he went those few hours without eating as long as he was content. After their first night home (he was 3 days old) she bragged that he was already sleeping thru the night and sooo many people (including my Grama, who also knows her) said that he shouldn't. My Grama said that NO MATTER WHAT, you can't let a baby that young go without eating, and that if they don't wake up, then you wake them up. She still let him sleep thru the night though and a few days later, he ended up in the hospital with jaundice because he wasn't eating enough. I don't know if it was because of skipping night feedings or the fact that he also had problems latching but either way, he got sick and it kind of worries me a bit.
So my question is, is it okay to let a newborn sleep thru the night IF they seem to be getting enough to eat during the day, and don't wake up crying? Or do you wake them up to eat? I know my Aunt woke her babies up very three hours at night for the first couple months but is that the norm?
Is there some kind of "rule" to this? What do YOU do?
ETA - by newborn, I really do mean NEW babies... and I also meant to ask, if at first you don't let them sleep all night, when do you start?

Synovial fluid analysis is a group of tests that examine joint (synovial) fluid. The tests help diagnose and treat joint-related problems.
Joint fluid analysis; Joint fluid aspiration
A sample of synovial fluid is needed for this test. Synovial fluid is normally a thick, straw-colored liquid found in small amounts in joints, bursae (fluid-filled sacs in the joints), and tendon sheaths.
After the joint area is cleaned, the health care provider inserts a sterile needle through the skin and into the joint space. Fluid is then drawn through the needle into a sterile syringe.
The fluid sample is sent to the laboratory. The laboratory technician:
Normally, no special preparation is needed. Tell your health care provider if you are taking a blood thinner, such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix). These medicines can affect test results or your ability to take the test.
Sometimes, the health care provider will first inject numbing medicine into the skin with a small needle, which will sting. A larger needle is then used to draw out the synovial fluid.
This test may also cause some pain if the tip of the needle touches bone. The procedure usually lasts less than 1 to 2 minutes.
The test can help diagnose the cause of pain, redness, or swelling in joints.
Sometimes, removing the fluid can also help relieve joint pain.
This test may be used when your doctor suspects:
Abnormal joint fluid may look cloudy or abnormally thick.
Blood in the joint fluid may be a sign of injury inside the joint or a body-wide bleeding problem. An excess amount of normal synovial fluid can also be a sign of osteoarthritis or cartilage injury.
Ice or cold packs may be applied to the joint for 24 to 36 hours after the test to reduce the swelling and joint pain. Depending on the exact problem, you can probably resume your normal activities after the procedure. Talk to your health care provider to determine what activity is most appropriate for you.

1st attempt
This was my first attempt with the new info provided in the last post. The wing is 4 parts, not very extensive but you have to start somewhere. I need some construction criticism, what changes need to be addressed and how do i go about them. Thanks.
That is a very nice looking fishing fly - for the wall the wing could be a bit fuller, but for a working fly that is just about perfect! Like anything new it is all about practise - I would slowly increase the size and complexity of the wings as you practise - you will find it gets easier the more you tie(and you will have a whole box of working flies by the time you arrive at "The Wall Fly"!)
Happy tying
You asked for it (I'll be gentle, trust me )
1) The tip should not be any further up the hook bend than the point of the barb, and is better if about the mid-point between the point and root of the barb. This will ballance the fly much better.
2) The tip should be 4 or 5 turns max and be made of fine oval tinsel.
3) The tag should start right up against the tip and end right above the hook point. To do this, start the tag above the hook point and wind it back to the tip then forward again to the starting point.
4) The tail needs to be longer. It should be tied in right above the hook point right where the tag ends and it should be 1/2 shank (or about a hook gap) long.
5) There should be five equal distant turns of tinsel that start and end on the bottom of the hook shank.
6) The body hackle should start at the 3rd turn of tinsel and then end with additional turns at the throat.
7) The wing needs to be both fuller (wider) and longer. The wing should end just inside the point of the tail and be about a hook gap in width.
This is enough for now to have you work on, I'll wait to provide more until after you post another fly. Don't want to scare you off or discourage you. This is really not too bad for not having had someone teach you how to tie them.
flytyer, every word of your reply to CDG is just nuts!
In the first place, CDG was/is talking about his wing, not the entire fly. At least that is how I read his post. Remember that a person must walk before he/she can run. CDG was having trouble setting a married wing and after your excellent tips in the other post, he tried them out with a narrow wing to get the feel of setting the wing. He said as much in the post that prompted your reply.
Frankly, I think he tied an excellent low water style fly, wing, tail and all!
There are no rules in tying that apply 100% of the time. If he was duplicating a classic or some other pattern in the style of ANOTHER TYER, then, "rules" would apply in order to end up with a reasonable duplicate of the original. Otherwise, there are no rules! Now, there may be a "norm" of a particular style but that is not rules. It is more like guidelines.
"...I'll wait to provide more until after you post another fly. Don't want to scare you off or discourage you. This is really not too bad for not having had someone teach you how to tie them." Your approach was exactly what could turn off a Tyer. I found it extremely condescending. Every one of your seven points were personal preference and nothing more.
Happy Trails!
I think he did a great job, my ties at times look like a parakeet on a stick.
well done!
I'd have absolutlely no qualms about putting your fly in my display box. Personally, I think you've done an admirable job with your wings, the color and material selection are wonderful, and you've taken great care with some of the details that many tyers (IMO) tend to overlook.
While I'm devoid of the 'Kelson Gene' and am certainly no critic, I think you've dressed a very nice fly. I also admire your 'moxy' in posting it at the risk of 'slings and arrows' from sometimes hyper-critical and opinionated fellow tyers.
Good work, man - good work.
Looks great. I fear I will never hae the patience for married wings but I am glad some people do.
Could you post the recipe for us?
Since others have rightly pointed out that your fly was a low-water one and since I provided info on standard dress in my previous reply, I am providing you with info on your fly from a low-water perspective.
I would change the following things from a low-water fly perspective:
1) shorten the tip to 4 or 5 turns of either extra fine oval or wire (what the full-dressed literature refers to as round tinsel) tinsel.
2) shorten the tag so that it is about the length of the hook point.
3) shorten the tail so that it is 1/2 the body length long, but leanve the tail veiling as is.
4) use a smaller size tinsel for ribing so that you can have 5 turns of tinsel.
5) start the hackle winding at the 3rd turn of tinsel and then make some additional wraps at the throat.
6) use a smaller hackle unless you were puposely trying to tie a pseudo spey.
7) set the wing closer to the body.
8) make the jungle cock cheeks longer, about 1/3 the wing length.
While I certainly don't want to offend any 'purists' in our merry little conclave of tyers, nor do I wish to seem dismissive of their 'perspectives', please allow me to offer the following;
The most innovative and talented tyers the world has ever known (to include Pryce-Tannatt and George Kelson) were deemed innovative and talented tyers BECAUSE they thumbed their collective noses at 'conventional guidelines', narrow minded thinking, and the oft-pontificating opinions of others. In short, they DARED to be different and set THEIR own standards.
So, turns of oval tinsel, angle of wing, length of Jungle Cock, and the condescending babble of 'critics' be darned!
"Why NOT tie YOUR fly in the method or means that YOU choose to do so?!"
You tied a very nice fly, GDC
BTW - IMO, "A craftsman creates, a critic can only dream of doing so."
This thread is a little puzzling. I tie flies (trout flies) and the only thing that keeps me tying is an ability to be creative. Its what tying is all about for me. This means creating something new by any and all means of doing so. After reading flytyers critique of this most beautiful fly, I am puzzeled to say the least. ALL THE RULES?? The only place that I can see room for creativity is the substitution of materials. How dare I make that tail the lenght that I see fit, blah... Isn't there a differance between constructive criticism and a set of rules that that doesn't allow for any personal choice by the tyer.
Ronn and Igor, let me comment you for your reply's . If anyone were to lay down a set of rules for the flies that I tie, well.... lets not go there.
CDG, great job, keep up the good work and DON'T get stiffled by rules. Keep the creative juices flowing. -Yaf.
Don't mess with my muddler...
More than a handful.-Yaffle
my $.02
Whether or not tradition is important depends on what the tier wants. If one chooses to tie in a manner faithful to tradition, that's the standard by which their flies should be judged. If, on the other hand, one chooses to innovate, that's fine too.
As far as the critique of CDG's flies go, he did, after all, ask for feedback.
When I give people feedback I generally start by saying that I'm going to try to critique their fly the same way I would one of my own. I say things like "I prefer..." , "You might try...", or "If you're trying to achieve classic proportions...". I always make sure to find some positive comments as well as suggesting improvements.
We're not all equally experienced or gifted as tiers, and, at the end of the day, we do this for our own pleasure.
Rules and rebels; guidelines and grouches
It is perfectly reasonable to learn and follow established "rules" of proportion when tying classic married-wing salmon flies. They are a fairly standardized form of craft, well into their second century. Rules make it much easier to learn to tie flies of this artistic school; without them, one could try and err for a long time.
Which has nothing to do with the separate issue of whether classicly proportioned flies are the best of all possible salmon-steelhead flies.
It's the same with architecture: If you want to design buildings in the classical Greek style, you follow certain ratios that were worked out several thousand years ago. That has nothing to do with any issue of whether Greek classicism is the acme of architectural design or not.
To bring it up to date: what are the proper proportions for a tandem-hook fur leech? Five or ten years ago, the question couldn't have been asked. Now, the fly tying community is in the process of refining the strip leech design. In time, there will be a "rule" about this. For now, we're free to experiment, to make leeches as long as water snakes, if we please.
Hi Wayne,
I think you have your "rules" & "guidelines" mixed up.
To me, a rule is a prescribed way to do something (or not to do something). No Parking! Cars will be towed at owner's expense. That's a rule.
"I would change the following things from a low-water fly perspective:
1) shorten the tip to 4 or 5 turns of either extra fine oval or wire (what the full-dressed literature refers to as round tinsel) tinsel.
2) shorten the tag so that it is about the length of the hook point.
3) shorten the tail so that it is 1/2 the body length long, but leanve the tail veiling as is.
4) use a smaller size tinsel for ribing so that you can have 5 turns of tinsel.
5) start the hackle winding at the 3rd turn of tinsel and then make some additional wraps at the throat.
6) use a smaller hackle unless you were puposely trying to tie a pseudo spey.
7) set the wing closer to the body.
8) make the jungle cock cheeks longer, about 1/3 the wing length, about 1/3 the wing length."
Those sure sound like set rules to me.
"5) start the hackle winding at the 3rd turn of tinsel and then make some additional wraps at the throat." That's a rule. I start at the rear of the body but as long as you are pleased, put a collar, beard or palmered hackle from the second or third rib, that's fine. That's a guideline.
"7) set the wing closer to the body." That's a rule. I like a high wing. Do what pleases your eye. That's a guideline.
"what are the proper proportions for a tandem-hook fur leech? Five or ten years ago, the question couldn't have been asked. Now, the fly tying community is in the process of refining the strip leech design. In time, there will be a "rule" about this. For now, we're free to experiment, to make leeches as long as water snakes, if we please." ???? Couldn't have been asked! ??? Fly tying community. Aren't we all part of that community? Then, we can march to our own drum. Proper proportions for the "leech"???? "In time, there will be a rule about this". So, when some official of the community dictates that the "proper" length is 3 1/16" and I feel like tying one 3 1/8", the fly Gestapo will come take me away?
If I like to dress my #18 Adams on a 3/0 hook, whose business is that other than mine? Is it wrong? No it isn't wrong. It won't likely put me in touch with any fish but that's my problem.
You can have accepted guidelines for the classics as the Tyers of the ages have tied their flies and were I to tie a classic Green Highlander IN THE CLASSIC form, I should adhere to some of the "balance" of the various old patterns. If I want to tie a free style Green Highlander, I can do whatever I want and it is right.
Traditionalists tend to get bent when other Tyers get creative and that's cool as long as they don't try to impose their bias to the other camp. There is a time and place for both and neither has higher status in my book.
Personally, I like the "classic" Atlantic Salmon Flies and appreciate the skills of the Tyers who tie them. I don't have any interest in tying them though!
There are Tyers out there that tie unbelievable free style married wing flies that only slightly resemble the classics but are heads & shoulders (pardon the pun) above the old patterns in my opinion. Some of these contemporary Tyers could tie circles around any of the Tyers of old that are held in such high regard by many today. That's just my opinion though and I am not going to insist that anyone else like what I do.
The bottom line here is that all of this discussion is about something that has very little importance in the real world. Some of us just take this tying stuff far too serious in my opinion. :eyecrazy:
Wayne, this didn't necessarily apply to you but was offered to the board with non confrontive intentions. Unless you don't agree with me..... just kidding!!! [8^)
Happy Trails!

If your fly catches fish, you have just passed the most important test or judge. If you are tying for looks- hey looks great to me.
Remember a single piece of yarn can out fish the best tied fly in the world.

Generally, vaccines that contain killed (inactivated) viruses can be given during pregnancy. Vaccines that contain live viruses aren't recommended for pregnant women.
Two vaccines are routinely recommended during pregnancy:
Getting the flu shot and the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy can protect you from infection and can also help protect your baby after birth before he or she can be vaccinated. This is important because the flu and whooping cough can be particularly dangerous for infants.
If you're traveling abroad or you're at increased risk of certain infections, your health care provider might also recommend other vaccines during pregnancy — such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines.
Certain vaccines should generally be avoided during pregnancy, including:
If you're planning a pregnancy, talk to your health care provider about any vaccines you might need beforehand. Live vaccines should be given at least a month before conception.

Slight Set Back In Bills Loss
Posted on 17 Oct 2011 by Norm Duhamel.
If I told you at the beginning of the season that the Buffalo Bills would beat New England, Philadelphia and would be 4-2 going into their bye week you would probably think I was crazy. Well luckily for Bills fans that is all true. Unfortunately for the Bills they are no longer in first place following their 27-24 loss against the New York Giants coupled with the Patriots win against the Cowboy...
