I think it was one of the most gutless calls I've ever seen. The penalty would've put them out of field goal range, and the defense might have stopped them and forced the punt. As it were, I was certain Bironas would make the kick. And he did. Game over.
This team is done. It's got no hope. When your supposed leader doesn't believe that the defense can make a stop, you're done.
I totally agree. This to me was the game. As you said, a field goal meant "game over". Why the hell wouldn't you move them back 10 yards? If they get the first down, so be it. You lost anyways. It was the ONLY way for us to stay in the game, and Dick !@#$ed it up.
Anything after that field goal was meaningless. The 2 pick sixes after the field goal were like empty net goals. Totally meaningless. And Dick pulls Trent after the first pick. Nothing like making Trent the scapegoat after Dick blows a call.

Before you get a repairman, you might want to see what it would cost to replace the door. A new door comes with the springs and all new hardware. If it's only a few hundred more, you might be better off replacing the door with a lightweight one.

I've been using Windows 7 for at least 6 months. I initially installed an early beta and currently have the Release Candidate version. The RC is running so well that I haven't even bothered to install the retail version, which I received last week.
There is a lot to like about it. It boots faster, programs start faster, the new taskbar. Plug a new device in and it automatically installs the driver for it. In most cases, you no longer need to use a driver disk to start using a device.
As far as file locations, Windows 7 has "Libraries" which are somewhat optional to use. For example, I always like to keep my music files on a separate hard drive rather than using the My Music folder. The Libraries let you select additional locations for music, pictures, etc. So My Music Library includes the My Music Folder as well as a Music folder on my "E:" drive. When I do a backup of the Music Library, it copies from both locations.
Setting up a network and sharing a printer is easier in Windows 7. Although the new Workgroups feature only works with other Windows 7 computers. We have 2 Vista computers and 1 XP in addtion to my Win 7 computer. I share printers and files between them, but if all had Win7, sharing would be easier.
I have had a couple of "crashes", but each time it just closed the offending program and sent me to the desktop without having to reboot. Not sure if the crashes were beta problems or if I still may have an occasional crash once I install the latest retail version.
Nothing revolutionary, but it seems to run much faster than XP and Vista. I received a free copy, so I will definitely upgrade. Not sure about my other PC's. Not sure if it is worth the money to upgrade the other pc's. MS is offering a 3 version family pack of Win 7 for $149, which helps. Also, most colleges have some big discounts for students.
If you're planning to keep your current pc a while and can get it cheap, it's a no brainer. Otherwise, it might be worth waiting until you buy your next pc.

Rex Ryan let his ROOKIE QB throw 5 interceptions on a day when his team ran for over 300 yards. You would think that after 2 picks you would have your QB hand off every play since you were gaining 6 yards or so a rush. After 3 picks, you would maybe break his throwing arm and go wildcat the rest of the game.
And this is a great coach?

I always look forward to your post too.
Whitner got blown up on the big runs and Byrd took bad angles each time, but where were the lb's on those plays?
I thought that it was a pretty cheap shot by Pace on the play that TE got injured. He was in a very vulnerable position and Pace knew it. Then he made sure he twisted TE and landed with all of his weight on him. I really thought that should have been flagged as unnecessary roughness considering all of the touches that get called. Hopefully, Pace will get fined for the play.
One last thing: A week ago, everyone was calling Rex Ryan the next Lombardi. How can you possibly let your rookie qb throw 5 picks in the same game that you rush for over 300 yards? The only thing that kept the Bills in the game was the Jets allowing Sanchez to throw.

Worship?
Just because I love seeing a hypocrite liberal bully get knocked off his high horse? Hardly buddy, and don't sound so defensive, your insecurity is showing. It's clear that Letterman has a major hard on for Sarah Palin. There's a very thin line between love and hate and I'm willing to bet that Palin sends major tingles up Dave's leg given his never ending "pummel her into the ground then pummel her some more" campaign. Sorry pal, but Palin clearly has fans while your Obama has worshippers.It sounds to me like you're mad (or hurt?) by the fact that Sarah Palin just got too damn big for your state of insecure "lilliputians" to handle, so she said f' you guys, Alaska's just not worth being but through the daily wringer. Please tell us all just how "stupid" she was by leaving the obviously ego-bruised and petty politicians of Alaska for 7 million dollars and topping two best sellers lists weeks before it's published...

Sorry, but that was unarguably a BRILLIANT move.
Want to know what the "stupid" people like about her? She's not an f'ing lawyer. You know, like 99% of the corrupt a'holes in Washington, DC. Exactly how are they doing? How many trillions of dollars in debt do we have to be for you to call your "brilliant" Obama, or Pelosi, or Reid, seriously dumb f_cks???? Hate to break it to you but the hinges are about to come off the doors of Washington. People are tuned into what's going (or not going) on. Palin is just the first of many new faces from outside of Washington that will begin to replace the old school, business as usual, blowhard ivy league, do nothing but steal your money lawyers.
This would have been a great post if only you had remembered to use the sarcasm smiley.

Yes, I'd like to reset the question about Health Care.
Just exactly, what does "Health Care" mean? Does it include the following in unlimited measure, and/or who gets to decide how much a person gets?
- wellness visits
- annual checkups
- band aids
- asprin, tylenol and OTC medications
- Q-tips
- lip balm
- podiatric visits and procedures
- orthopedic and prosthetic devices
- penile implants
- erectile dysfunction treatments
- extenze
- fertility clinic expenses
- sex change operations
- X-Rays
- MRIs
- Cat scans
- vaccinations on demand
- carte blanc prescription drugs on demand
- all surgical procedures
- critical care expenses
- unlimited ultrasound procedures
- medical marijuana
- abortion on demand
- preventive dental care - at least twice a year
- dental x-rays, crowns, fillings, etc.
- eye examinations
- lasix surgery
- eye glasses
- contact lenses
- cosmetic surgery
- botox injections
- boob jobs
- pre operative therapy
- post operative therapy
- psychiatric care
- psycho analysis
The list could go on and on ad infinitum. So who gets to decide who gets treatment and "health care"?
Will all the specialists be required to perform elective surgeries at below Medicare rates - just to satisfy the demand for "free services"?
And while we're at it, why stop with humans - why don't we force the veterinarians and the animal hospitals to toe the line too? After all, this is America, we should be able to afford it and no one should suffer except the greedy capitalist pigs who hate the American people.
That's the biggest problem as I see it. What I think there needs to be is a very limited policy that is available cheaply to all. Basically a major medical policy that covers everyone in case of a medical emergency. You could probably include vaccinations and maybe a physical every other year. Other than that you pay out of pocket. Something like this could be affordable for all and would make it easier to "force" people to buy coverage.
For prescription coverage, you give them a copy of the list of $4 prescriptions available at Walmart. They need a pill, have their doc prescribe one off of this list.
If you want more, you buy an extended policy that covers doctor visits, scripts, vision etc.
I also think that all policies should have some kind of co-pays. Even "Cadillac" plans. If you make people pay something, there is an incentive to limit their health care spending. If brand name drugs cost $30, maybe they will decide to try a generic drug for $5. If you have to pay $25 to see the doc, maybe you don't go every time you feel a sneeze coming on.
Next, trim all unnecessary care out of state Medicaid programs. The poor should not receive anything above basic health care. And definitely not better than the cheapest policies that we force people to buy.

Old timers will remember (spelled phonetically) Wordinski's and Skelenguski
You can still buy Wardinski's in WNY. Shelley's are long gone though. I always buy Sahlen's. One time this summer I bought Wardinski's when the place I was at was out of Sahlen's. They were good but not as good as Sahlen's IMO.

I just signed up with Ooma. You buy the Ooma receiver for about $219 at Bestbuy or other retailers and you totally eliminate your monthly phone bill. Check them out at www.ooma.com. I have only had for a few days but the call quality is great.
They give you a local number for free or you can port your old number for $40. They also have a 30 day money back guarantee if you don't like it.

If this "public option" does go through, and they do significantly bring down health care costs, then the only way they will be able to achieve that is by subsidizing the losses. Sort of like what is happening with Medicare, it's virtually bankrupt, but we will continue this Government entitlement program because senior citizens have been conditioned to rely upon it.
Is there any chance that Medicare is "virtually bankrupt" due to the fact that people are living longer, medical costs are rising twice the rate of inflation, and most beneficiaries only pay $87 a month for this coverage?
Or do you think that private insurers would agree to cover these people for $87 a month?
The Medicare program is unsustainable. Either costs need to be reduced by reforming the program or revenues need to increase by charging beneficiaries more or taxing the rest of us to keep it afloat. Sorry, but doing nothing is not an option.

This situation has absolutely nothing to do with government run health care but most of the comments so far are just bashing government run health care.
If anyone bothered to read the article, it is about veterans who claimed they were sickened while serving or living near a military base. Because a causal link has not been found between living there and there illness, the VA has refused to cover these illnesses as "service related"
Do you think that if they were covered under private medical insurance at the time they lived on the base, that the private insurance company would agree to cover them years later when they got sick and claim that it started years ago when they were covered??
Maybe you should try to vilify these vets for being uninsured. That seems like a better right-wing argument.
-
Welcome to the world of government-run ANYTHING.
Horrible, disgraceful and an embarrassment to the US taxpayer that our taxes don't go toward the truly important things in life.
Like universal health coverage? Seems like that would have solved the health related issues for these uninsured vets.

The only way I can watch SNL is to DVR it and skip past the unfunny parts. Usually can watch the whole thing in 15 minutes or so.
As far as last night, U2 was awesome, Megan fox is HOTTT, and the rest sucked big time.

Just buy sticks of Margherita brand pepperoni. Don't buy the prepackaged one, you need the one from the deli.

My favorite is Imperial Pizza on Abbott Rd. Best in Buffalo, IMHO.
If I don't feel like driving that far to get it, I usually settle for Edie's on Buffalo St in Hamburg. Edie's is very consistent and their bbq wings are top-notch.

OK, I went to the Jills website (Jills Roster) and went through them all. I found 4 attractive out of 41. And none of those 4 I would go crazy over.
They all look hot from the upper deck.

Thanks for having a pool!

I bought a car on ebay several months back from a dealer in Cleveland. There were several bids on the car already but I called him up and negotiated a price about $600 under the "Buy it now" price. I drove there the next day, took it for a test spin and handed over the check.
The dealer I bought from puts a lot of cars on ebay, but sells most prior to the auction end. This way, they avoid the ebay fees, but get the use of ebay to get people to look at the car.
Almost all sellers put in a disclaimer that the car is for sale locally and the auction may end early if sold locally. Looks like this is a good way of protecting you on the downside as a seller. If the bids don't come up high enough, end it early by canceling the bids and saying that the vehicle is no longer available.
This might work better for a seller than having a reserve price. Lots of people will avoid bidding on an item with a reserve price. Just price it low, put a reasonable "buy it now" on it and shut it down if the bids are too low and nobody used the "buy it now".
Not very ethical, but par for the course for used car dealers.

Who are you kidding? Are you actually dumb enough to think only Republicans reach out to mental defectives? [/irony]
No, but the Republicans seem to be doing a better job of it lately. Here's a couple of examples:
Senior citizens at town Hall meetings saying stuff like "Keep your government hands off my Medicare."
or "'I don't want government-run health care, I don't want socialized medicine, and don't touch my Medicare." Something tells me these folks may need better mental health coverage.
Or the people against the intrusion of government health care who fail to realize that the US government currently pays more medical bills annually than private insurance companies. If you're just now railing against socialized medicine, you're a little late to the party.
Or dare I mention the Birther idiots. I loved this article:
"Raleigh-based Public Policy Polling recently surveyed 749 North Carolinians about whether or not they believe Barack Obama was born in the United States. The results were quite shocking — and no, I'm talking about the matter that only 54% believe the president is a natural born citizen. Nope.
What's a real head scratcher is that 5% don't believe Hawaii is a state and that 3% are unsure."

You can bet this is going to become talked about over the next few days, started hearing about this yesterday and is being compared to the "Death Panels." Created in Clinton years, Bush killed this last year, and Obama brought it back last month and is being given to all VA patients, not just the elderly or terminally ill.
Imagine a kid coming home from Iraq missing a leg and reading this.
Here is a link to the actual booklet
www.rihlp.org/pubs/Your_life_your_choices.pdf
Typical right wing bull sh--. First of all, the article you linked to is form the OPINION section. You could have just linked to Palin's twitters on the same subject.
Educating people on living wills is something that has been advocated by Newt and lots of other Repugs before they were against it. It says nothing about anyone other than the individual or their trustee to decide on end-of-life issues for someone terminally ill. I don't see Death Panels in it, nor do I see anything advocating suicide for those who may feel like a burden to their family.
Just more idiotic nonsense from the same people who brought you the Birthers movement.
Every day, I see more and more of the Republican outreach to the mental defectives. Feed them lies long enough and you can make them believe whatever you want them to believe. All in the name of partisan politics.

Sorry, I should have said "[the best]...they can afford." Again, it's the same in everything. You want the best [you can afford], you'll pay more for it, whereas if you don't, you get what you [don't] pay for. HR 3200 will lead to rationing as more people enter the system and drain it of resources.
So, it's better to keep the uninsured out, so there's more health care available for you if you need it?
Maybe if everyone had access to health care, the poor wouldn't be filling up the ER's whenever they get the sniffles. Seems like that would free up ER resources for better uses.

the lesson?
is if you're going to carry a gun into a nightclub and accidentally shoot yourself, don't do it in a city with the most strict gun laws in the country.
Either that or if you accidentally shoot yourself, aim for your head.
Finally, an answer to the eternal question

"I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you shouldn't get breast implants."
Actually, as I read this part, I think that implants are ok:
"The Feeding of the 5000
This miracle is also known as the "miracle of the loaves and small breasts" given that the Gospel of John reports that five small barley loaves and two small breasts supplied by a beauty pageant winner were used by Jesus to feed a multitude"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_the_m...ude#cite_note-1
