Cousins' 4 TD passes lead Skins past eliminated Bills 35-25
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) As Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder paced nearby, 20 or so of his team's players gathered in the trainer's area off the locker room Sunday, delighted by their own just-completed victory and waiting to find out exactly how big a deal it was.
Left tackle Trent Williams and other Redskins watched the closing seconds of their NFC East rival New York Giants' loss on TV, letting loose a loud celebration - raised arms, fist pumps, yells of ''Yes!'' - at the end. After last-place finishes in six of the last seven years, Washington is closing in on clinching a playoff berth.
Inspiring a soundtrack of ''You like that!'' chants in the stands, Kirk Cousins equaled his career high with four touchdown passes and ran 13 yards for another score, helping the Redskins win consecutive games for the first time in more than a year and stay atop the division standings by beating the Buffalo Bills 35-25.
''We had a lot on our hands. Everybody said we couldn't win back-to-back games,'' said receiver DeSean Jackson, who turned a short throw from Cousins into a 77-yard TD. ''So this was the first time in a long time we were able to get accomplished what we wanted to get accomplished.''
The Redskins (7-7) can secure a spot in the postseason by winning next Saturday night at the Philadelphia Eagles,
''We still have a dogfight in front of us. And we can't walk before we crawl, put it like that,'' Williams said. ''We've got to focus on the Eagles.''
The Bills (6-8) are now assured of missing the playoffs for the 16th year in a row, the longest active drought in the NFL.
''Did it go according to plan? No, not this year,'' said Rex Ryan, in his first season as Buffalo's coach.
Said defensive end Mario Williams: ''Of course there's going to be changes. That's obvious. You just wait and see if your number is called, that's all.''
Making Ryan's defense look inept, and aided by a key fourth-down encroachment penalty, the Redskins scored TDs on each of their first three possessions of a game for the first time since September 1999, grabbing a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
Even when Washington made a potentially bad mistake of its own - rookie returner Jamison Crowder fumbled a punt near midfield - Buffalo couldn't take advantage. The Bills drove all the way to Washington's 1, but running back LeSean McCoy got stuffed twice, before Tyrod Taylor overthrew Sammy Watkins by a ton in the end zone on fourth down.
''That was a huge stop,'' Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
After Buffalo made it 28-17 with a two-play, 85-yard drive - capped by the first of Taylor's two TD passes to Watkins - the Redskins responded with a 13-play, 80-yard drive. That ended with Cousins' 5-yard TD toss to Pierre Garcon early in the fourth quarter.
Fans repeatedly responded to touchdowns with full-throated serenades of ''You like that!'' - a reference to what Cousins screamed as he trotted to the locker room after a comeback victory earlier this season.
''I had to turn my headsets up a little bit,'' Gruden said. ''I couldn't hear play calls and all that stuff.''
Cousins hit tight end Jordan Reed for a pair of scores in the first half. Jackson spun away from defensive back Corey Graham for his long score in the third quarter.
''I never thought he was Jerry Rice,'' Ryan said about Jackson. ''But I guess I was wrong.''
Cousins completed his first nine passes and finished 22 for 28 for 319 yards and no interceptions. It was his sixth 300-yard passing day of the season, a franchise record. He equaled another club mark, set way back in 1967 by Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen, by starting the season with at least one TD throw in 14 straight games.
''He's definitely gotten better,'' Trent Williams said. ''We had faith in him the whole time. But he continues to grow and he's playing lights-out.''

Don't you think you deserve one too?
HELL YES you do!!
Sapelo Island is not open to general tourist traffic. You have to be a resident or a marine researcher to get on the island. Or, you have to have some sort of connection to the residents. Someone to sponsor you in. Kathy, clever fox, somehow found a man on the island named Caesar who was willing to loan us two rusty old granny bikes for the day. He came and met us at the ferry. He gave us our bikes, took our cash, and handed over a tiny hand-drawn map of the island that had been photocopied a thousand times, thus granting us access to the whole island for the day. "You can't really get lost on Sapelo," he said. "If you feel like you're lost, just keep on going, and eventually you'll wind up back here."

Aside from it being hot, what really stood out to me was how silent the environment around me was. Apart from the people around, it was silent. Almost awe-inspiring. Loved it.
I wanted to get my 365 out of the way early (is that sad?) because today's gonna be a busy one. Hence, a snapshot of some of my get-ready stuff, which makes me appear to love pink a lot more than I do. In reality, I'm feeling pretty much the opposite of this photo. I'd love nothing more than to wear pajamas to work today. Or, better yet, stay in my pajamas at home.
365 - Day 35
Hmmm... a little big.
About this set:
I joined Mountaineers of Iceland for one tour on November the 6th. The tour involves driving with a super jeep from Reykjavik to Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss and last but not least a snowmobile trip on Europe's second largest glacier, Langjökull.

Second rev of the activated charcoal getter for Sitelle.
The first revision of the getter, a double-sided, double-chambered design based roughly off the GL Scientific getter for the Polycold PCC cold head, wound up not fitting in the cryostat. The flex for the feed-through, which was already pretty close to the getter in the original design, wound up being longer than expected, and caused a thermal short. As an interim measure we machined off the lower chamber of one of the getters so we could get back on task.
But I still had to design a new one. I had all kinds of grand schemes of making another CNC-based design. But we hit a schedule crunch, and the CNC mill at work was busy cranking out new filter frames for another instrument. Sooo...
I designed this one to be made on conventional hand-cranked machines. The top and bottom plate are 2mm 6061 aluminum. The sides are 0.010" thick x 1" wide high purity copper strip. The lower plate has three 1mmx1mm grooves cut in it to take the copper strips. The top plate has a recess to match the outer and inner groove, and has a bunch of holes drilled through it to let gas pass. The three strips were coated with Stycast resin, and the cavity was filled with activated charcoal. The charcoal is capped with a 1-micron glass filter, and then with the top plate. The whole mess is sealed on all four seams with Stycast.
In the end I think this was a better design than the original, even though the original won hands-down on looks, and this one literally cannot be serviced. There's more volume for getter material in this one, so the getter has more overall capacity, even if the pump speed is a little lower because of the smaller aperture. Also, the materials are much thinner than in the original design, so this getter should cool down faster than the original. That helps to ensure that it starts pumping well before the rest of the camera gets cold enough to condense water vapor.
I won't be able to test the performance of this getter until next week.

This is a New Zealand founded game you use when driving to "get lost". It is called Getting Lost. It is such fun, you go through the cards which read "turn left when you see a sheep", or "stop at a local business and buy something". We have yet to do ours, we are waiting for warmer weather.
OK, important to remember: my camera was still on its absolutely widest setting here - 18mm, according to EXIF. So if I'm this close, this should tell you something. It's tough to tell how close underwater, but it felt like four inches. In reality, probably a foot.

this was not my intended post for the day, but I posted it due to a few (offline) comments. I won't be publishing it to any groups (not at first, at least), so only contacts & stream visitors get to see it. The real photo for today is still to come...
