Good afternoon everybody. Thank you for joining us for another edition of Condo Insider, which is put on by White Council of Community Association, also known as HCCA or Hawaii Council. So today I have the really wonderful pleasure of having with us today, Taylor Gray. He's an attorney. He is with Porter, Keokona, and Copper. So you've been working with that law firm for quite a while. I think you started out as a paralegal, right? I was as a law clerk. So when I was in law school, I found this firm and I've been here ever since. So I've been practicing condominium law with the firm since 2017.   I also do some construction litigation, I think. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm one of the attorneys here that do construction litigation, covenant violation litigation, as well as just general business litigation. Most of the litigation that our firm handles, I would say about 99% is through condominiums or HOAs. Okay. So today we want to, I wanted to talk with or have Taylor help me to address some issues that I've been getting some phone calls or some emails and I've been noticing some weird stuff when you have overzealous either a board member or it could be a homeowner. I know I was involved in a conversation with a couple people and one of the conversations came to about how they mop the floor and it's got that gray coating stuff, which I would go, I would hate to mop that floor because that gray coating has got those grooves, right? If you make it too wet, the stuff's just going to sit in the grooves and dry and look dirty. And one had one version. The other one had another. It said that one was wrong, but our version was the correct way. And I kind of sat there and I go, at the end of the day, when they're done, is it clean? Yeah. And the person doing that, you know, having to clean that and listen to all these different people provide their input as to what is right or what is wrong. I could see how that person would probably be up to their ears and just frustrated by all this input. And I think that's overzealous owners at its finest. As long as that's, like you said, as long as it's getting done and it's clean, that's what matters. Right. So how does the board handle, whether it's either a homeowner or a board member, that takes on this added responsibility? And we want to also tie it in with employee harassment. And that could create a hostile work environment. So what is your best legal advice on how a board should handle these situations or create policies and procedures on how to address concerns regarding an employee and their work methods? Yeah. You hit the nail on the head. There needs to be some sort of policy. What we always recommend is a chain of command. When you have what's great about an association is you have so many different perspectives and so many people living in a community and why there's more condominiums per three square foot than pretty much anywhere in the United States. And with that, you're going to get thousands of different perspectives on how things are done. So with that, through the democracy democratic process, you elect a board of directors. And that board retains a property manager or a managing agent. And that managing agent helps facilitate various needs of the association. So you have like you're the person cleaning the floors and the landscaping and all that stuff. And the board of directors is the one that's supposed to be providing them with the direction based on the input of the membership. However, a lot of members will try to tell, you know, let's say they have a tree out in front of their house and they want that contractor to cut it a certain way. That's different from the uniform appearance of the rest of the project, which the board has already established. That is incredibly frustrating for contractors that have to listen to the board. And then they also have to listen to one owner saying you should mop the floor left to right. And another owner saying you should mop the floor front to back. So what I always recommend is how if there is a situation that escalates where you have a contractor that's saying, we just can't handle all this, we're getting berated by owner one and owner two and owner three, and we just can't handle it. We recommend sending a letter and just gently reminding the owner that there's a lot of input and it's there's only this a small island. So we only have so many contractors you can use before you scare enough where they don't want to come and do the work at all. So just the proper forum for that owner if they have a dispute with the contractor is to go to the meetings, go to a board meeting, talk to the board and and the owners are the eyes and ears of the project. The owners are there. And so in a in the best case scenario, that owner would provide a valuable input to the board and the board will then tell the contractor based on the input of our members, we would like to see X, Y and Z done. And then kind of brought up a good point where the contractors could it is a small island. People talk, you know, and eventually it's going to get to the point where a contractor is going to hear all this people but maybe they're willing to take off the job, but they're going to charge you premium to cover and what they're anticipating from that board, you know, so you're so the board's got to be very careful because they could either lose any ability to find someone to do that particular job, or they're going to be paying double premium, if not triple, you know, or exactly, exactly. And most of the time a gently worded letter just reminding the owner of that fact, you know, if we start if we're pestering this person, they're going to walk off the job and the next bid is going to be a lot higher. So a gentle reminder works, but in the worst case scenarios, there's times where an owner is just they they want something to be done their way or stubborn as as they not as they should be, but they're paying so much in maintenance fees. So they expect world class service, and they want something to be done yesterday. And if they are not doing it to their standards, to which they believe they're paying a premium for, it's hard, it's hard for these owners not to take something personally. So at that point, we got these troubled owners that you have to then send additional letters and even rent so fines say, you know, this contractor can't be doing their job effectively, if they're worried or looking over their shoulder, wondering what you're going to come and berate. So at that point, it's you have to then look out for the wellbeing of the project and make sure you can keep this contractor and not interfere with their ability to do their job. Right. Because that could be the contractor or the employee. And like in landscaping, you know, just like mopping and people have different ways. And so I try to tell people when they kind of complain to me, I try to tell them, I said, well, maybe instead of commenting or like, why are you doing it that way? Which could be very, it could be deemed as being intimidating or offensive to the guy, the person performing the work. Why don't you ask them a question first? Like, wow, or say, well, wow, that looks kind of interesting and trying to start up a conversation. Because there was one incident where people were complaining about how they trimmed a certain hedge. And some people wanted to look full from the inside out. And they actually explained to me, when they don't trim it that way, then the chickens nest on the branches inside. I go, good point. Yeah, it's a utility. Yep, exactly. You know, so you got to find out the why's, you know, it's why they're to do it a certain, because there could be a specific reason why, you know, like, even when it comes to painting a building, there's certain colors that fade faster than others. So, you know, I always encourage people to do a sample on the, like, the west side of the buildings will fade a lot faster than probably the morning sun of the building. So they should really try to put, you know, paint a good portion just to see how long it will last, you know, and or how fast it'll fade, things of that nature, you know. But I've told you, I go, after you kind of explain it, people kind of get that aha moment.  One of the other things I get comments about is, you know, they brought on somebody new and you know how resident managers, when they come in, sometimes they're taking over a project after there's been no resident manager or anybody on site for a couple of months, because finding a resident manager or even a an offsite person can take a couple of months. And so, so he's got a lot of stuff to catch up on, not only just the office stuff, but the outside duties that they need to take care of, you know, and it takes time, but when you move into a house, it's not instantaneous that you can put everything back together the way you, you know, so I have told some people, I said, you should probably make a list for the person of the priorities. Yes. And I said, you should probably try to post it on the bulletin board, maybe, you know, so everybody kind of gets an idea that, hey, we've made these the priorities to get done. And then off the side with with the employee or contractor, let him know what the timeline is, you know, because I know some boards at the end of the year, they put accomplishments for the previous year and what they want to do for the next year. Yeah. Yeah. And let's everybody know what's going on, you know, which I think is just awesome when they do that. It's transparent. There's goals and the resident manager or whatever the resident manager, site manager, whatever contractor is responsible for handling that specific detail knows what their objectives are, and if they've been hitting those punch list items. So if they have, if they have more things to do than have completed, maybe the, maybe the owners, those overzealous owners have reason to complain. And maybe it's time to think about hiring a different contractor to perform those services. Yeah, we have to make sure the list is reasonable. Exactly. It could be accomplished, you know, they have to be fair to that employee or that contractor. And, you know, they could be, you know, in stages like for the next three months we're going to do this, or at the end of the year we hope to have this one, one or two issues completed because it could take six months or eight months just to even get it done, because there's little bits and pieces, right, to get it done. And that's why it's important for those directives to be coming from the board. So it's, you know, a lot of owners, they have to be reminded of this chain of command, in a sense, because the ones that sign that the checks at the end of the day is going to be the board, and the property manager, site manager all report to the board. And that way you can keep an accurate detailed list of accomplishments and or goals. If you have a million different owners, there's going to be a million different priorities, and it's going to drive those contractors crazy. And I have so many projects where they run out of contractors. The word gets around where they, especially like even property managers, you have some troubled owners that you, they just can't control themselves. And you'll eventually, we only have so many property management firms in Hawaii.  So you're not even in a worse situation. You don't have professional help. And the board has to work harder, just because one owner felt that it was their cool honor or their entitlement, that they can tell these contractors what to do. Yeah. And, you know, over time, like there was one condo, they were looking for, you know, shopping route for a new management company. And they were getting some bids and they're like, oh man, they're like triple what we pay now. Like, well, how long have you had that kind of contract that you have now? Well, it's beyond 10 years. So I'm like, hello, you're lucky you're getting that same price. Maybe you should give them a little bit of slack because you're expecting this much. But, you know, that contract was 10 years ago, and you probably didn't have as much responsibilities before managing agent to do, you know, and you probably had a better site manager that took a lot of responsibilities that now you're expecting the property manager to do, you know. And then the light bulb, I saw the light bulb, we're talking on the phone, but I literally saw the light bulb comes through the phone, you know. And again, too, with contractors, if you have a problem board and the word gets around, your management fee could also be greater than some other people for synthesized building.  And fortunately, that's what increases everyone's maintenance fees, those premiums, just because a few owners want something to be done their way, and not engage in a productive discussion at a board meeting, where things can actually be effectuated. And when you just yell at a contractor, the contractor knows where they're getting paid.  So it's just going to create dissension and it's going to lead to an unfortunate divorce, or they're going to make you pay for it. No one takes verbal abuse for free. Right, yeah. And also, you know, that verbal abuse, I mean, doesn't that go into the same light of harassment, right? Yeah, especially if you have a site, the association has employees. And the association's board has a responsibility to make sure that their employees are free from a hostile work environment. And one of the most common things we see are owners yelling at like, like you're mopping the floor example, maybe, you know, they weren't yelling about it. But if somebody doesn't clean something right away, or they see someone sitting, you know, in their golf cart on their phone, and they harass them for not working, and then they, you know, make a complaint that they can't work publicly, the board is on the hook for any lawsuits for a hostile work environment.  But by you doing that, you're not that person's boss. And if you do that constantly, you're you're the board is now responsible if that person takes workers comp for a mental for mental reasons. Or if that person sues, the board is on the hook for that. And they could even make a complaint to the state. And that could be investigated. And now you're, now you're, yeah, now you're even more trouble. So at that point, it's you have to, you have the nid that in the bud, and you have to tell that owner, you got to stop talking to this person, because we have to provide this person a safe space. Yeah. Let's go back to the property manager. Because I know I have, I heard one property man said, everything comes through me. And I go, like, are you sharing you want that all that? But there has to be a balance of, of, they've taken on all this stuff. And I'm like, now you're going to have all these owners calling you and, you know, berating you about this berating you about that, you know, and eventually any night, you know, they have a responsibility to protect the board because that's who they work for. But there has to be a balance of what's reasonable. And what's unreasonable. And, and also telling the board, hey, you know, this is a valid complaint or value valid issue that we need to address. So why is the employee doing this, this and this, you know, because complaints not always are negative. Sometimes they are positive, they can lead to some positive things or something that the board wasn't even aware of. So they have to go be approachable with open eyes, not just, hey, another homeowner calling, you know. Yeah. And that's a great point. You, there's so many issues that stem from that point. There's a balancing test that also needs to be done because they have their representatives of the board. And the owners have to contact someone when they have complaints, like you're saying, meritorious complaints. And so we always advise general managers, property managers, you have that thick scan to be in this job, you don't have to take harassment. But you have to know that there's going to be complaints, there's going to be constructive criticism. And it's not necessarily indicative of your work, or it's not targeted against you individually. It's how tech, how can the association be better?  So that's one part of the balancing test. The other part is these owners have, you know, their first amendment three of them speech. So unless there's something that is threatening or something that arises, usually the hostile work environment names don't are not really directed at property managers or agents, it's mostly employees.   So that's the person that we direct this, you know, you have to have that thicker skin so that these complaints can be brought to the proper person to make the implement the changes, the board of directors. If you just instantly think that everything is a criticism of your job, and you never bring that to the board, that's where we find these owners are very frustrated, because they are trying to bring their concerns to somebody. And it's just being, it's being kicked down the road or it's being thrown in the trash can and it's never brought to the proper party. I think I saw someone's website. I think it was an HOA website where they had emails to address complaints or concerns. So I'm having to pick up the phone and, you know, leave a voice message. At least there's an email. And sometimes that might be better than can you just call me, you know, because when you call your emotions take over versus if you're having to sit and write it, you know.  I'll let it, I'll sleep on it. And then, okay, yeah, I was overreacting. I had a bad day at work. I shouldn't be taking this out on, you know, poor whoever that's just trying to do their job. See, I think that's a great idea. Yeah, and sometimes that's even better than doing a suggestion box.  I know sometimes I tell people, I go, yeah, I get irritated about something and I send an email, but I don't click send, I wait. I go take a break and then come back and read it again. Oh, and our job at everything is always heated with opposing councils and there's a lot of emails that a lot of a lot of times I've written things that I slept on and ever sent them. So very thankful that email exists, right? Yeah, exactly. But you got your frustration out. Yeah. Yeah, catharsis. Yeah, yeah. So, so you're going to be one of our speakers on our May 25th. It's a Saturday. And it's a half day at a Welcome Country Club. And we're going to, it's also going to be with Attorney Nalon. And we have Lori Sides with the DCC condo specialist. She's been there for quite a long time. And we're really going to talk about board of directors, duties and responsibilities, also owners duties and responsibilities. And we're going to have a handout that that's going to incorporate a lot of the DCC, you know, their little handouts, it's going to be like on a poster size that hopefully people can post it where they in their office and then there's going to be another version where it could be posted on their bulletin board. So the owners know because one of the big questions I get from people is from some board members, they go, we always get asked, like, what do you guys do? And I can vary from project to project because there's not a lot of consistency with how directors operate, unfortunately. And I think what the DCC is doing with working with the HCCA to make this kind of common knowledge will hopefully help bring a uniform approach and educate everyone as to how you should act as a board of director. And as an owner, what is your responsibility and how she operate and conduct yourself in a community living situation? Right, because as they say, when you're in the board meeting, you're a board member. But once you leave that, your unit order 101, you no longer get the board hat on. Oh, and that's a great point too. One of the things we get a lot with vendors, planning or resident managers complaining is when these directors think that they are the air supreme, or that they that they are directors outside of board meetings that they can go up to an employee and say, well, I'm a director. I want you to do X, Y and Z this way. And they don't understand. And it's a hard concept to kind of to comprehend is that you have a hat, you know, when you're in that meeting, wearing your director hat. But when you're outside, you're an owner. And a lot of times these vendors don't know the difference that you're not wearing your board of director T shirt on to let them know that you have the power as a board member to actually tell them what they can and cannot do. So they might feel insecure and or a little bit skeptical of why you're telling them what to do. And that's not the direction that they got from the board majority. And that can get people in trouble. And like I've told some people, when we're talking like the finances, I said, your condo is a business. You're handling money. So that means it's a business entity. And, um, and Susavio also said the same thing on that PBS series that she did a couple weeks ago, I'm like, Oh, yeah. You know, so when you're working in a business environment, you're not there 24 seven. So it goes to saying, you know, that, yeah, you're a board member when you're in that meeting, but you're not 24 seven, there's only select few, which the government has as declared as being essential, right? But board directors are not essential, you know.  I'm like, Oh, my God, I should have went ahead and drink. Yeah. And, and that can get the, that can get the association in trouble.  And you could the association could get sued based on, you know, what one director is saying outside of a board meeting, a board meeting that's not reflected in the minutes. You know, we've had situations where, um, in Waikiki, they have a short term vacation rental dance, um, in the specific project. And one owner says, Ah, no one enforces it. You can go ahead and do it. And that person takes that as gospel because that's the vice president of the board saying, well, we haven't enforced it in a while. And then when they do enforce it, they're saying, but that person told me I can do it. And they have detrimentally relied on the same thing with contractors all the time. They tell them, Hey, you can skip this floor, just focus on this one. And then the owners on that floor are saying, what the heck? We didn't want you, what are you going to come back down here? When are you going to come back down here? I said, Oh, well, the board for told us we didn't have to. And that wasn't a director from the old board. That's just one board member that improperly said something outside of a meeting. So that's why we always say, make sure you know what hat you're wearing. Yeah. And exactly. Same with emails outside of a board meeting. We're going to have to be doing some continuous training on that because it's continuous. I always get that. Are they not supposed to be doing that outside of the board? I go, Yeah, here's the attachments. You know, here's the handouts that we did with DCCA. So go to it. And as a litigation attorney, I see that all the time. Why are you putting these things in an email? Oh, it's all disclosed. This was an executive session where it's supposed to be. But now you guys discussed a whole bunch of improper things via email. And that's all discoverable. And now it's out in the ether. Everybody knows about it. And that could all have been avoided. Add you just followed the proper procedures. Right. Okay. So we're nearing our end. So Tater, I really want to thank you. This was enjoyable. Very informative. I'm really looking forward to the May event. And so it's going to be morning. I think it opens at 11, or no, eight o'clock. And there's going to be a buffet breakfast for everybody. And so we'll hope nobody falls asleep during, you know, it eats too much. You know, but I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really looking forward to this one. The Jews and his abilities. He is well. And I appreciate being here and at this topic. It's something that we see all the time. And I hope to provide a little bit more context and information to those directors as well as residents that are that are looking to yell at their next veteran. Yeah, I'm looking forward to you because you took over most of Larisse condos. Yes, you will, you know, she had so many and she's been an estate one-hour industry for so long. It's so much work for everyone to handle.  But yeah, as the newest partner of the firm, I've been having to impart a lot of those. Yeah. Give it to him. He's a newbie. Exactly. Could be to my basis. Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much. And I look forward to working with you on the May seminar as well as I think our board of director training as well, I think. Yes. Yes. Okay. Great. So everybody tune in. Go to HawaiiCouncil.org. Register for our May 25th seminar. It's going to be a half a day and we're going to stop with a buffet breakfast in the morning and get a program going. So thank you, Taylor. I look forward to it. Thank you so much. Thank you. If you liked this show, why don't you give us a like or subscribe to our channel? Thanks so much.


Welcome to Texas Heart Institute Educational Programs on Innovative Technologies and Techniques. My name is Vaughn Mierkrazier. I'm an international cardiologist at Texas Heart Institute and Baylor CHI Medical Center. The topic of this presentation is laser-assisted transgraphed embolization, an additional option for treating type 2 endolique. Now, type 2 endolique is one of the most frustrating complications after EVAR due to its unpredictability and the need for close surveillance and high endovascular expertise that is required for this repair. The prevalence varies in literature between 10% to 35%. Spontaneous thrombosis occurs in 30% to 60% of patients. This typically occurs within the first six of months after EVAR procedure. However, there is a delayed presentation that is present between 27% to 32% of patients, sometimes for unknown reason, but sometimes due to use of anticoagulants. Rupture rate mortality from meta-analysis can be up to 50%. As far as type 2 endolique is concerned, size of nitrous is a very good predictor of persistent type 2 endolique. There is so-called simple type, where a small cavity has ingress and egress vessel like pseudo-angioresms and frequently can close spontaneously after a certain length of follow-up. Then there is a complex type where there are multiple ingress and egress vessels similar like in AV malformations. This type of endolique frequently persists. There are several issues related to transarterial embolization of type 2 endolique. As we can see here in this particular patient, this patient had an EVAR procedure, and a six-month follow-up developed a type 2 endolique from a communication between the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior mesenteric artery. This patient underwent endoluminal repair of his endolique with coil embolization. And as we can see, after coil embolization, there was no longer presence of endolique. However, one year later, the patient developed another endolique. This was again a type 2 endolique from superior renal lumbar arteries. And then he underwent coil embolization of those arteries, as well as coil embolization of several other lumbar arteries in total after four different coil embolization procedures that patients still had persistent type 2 endolique. In this particular scenario, when all the resources are used and it is difficult to find the exact source of endolique frequently, coil embolization of the internal iliac arteries performed, as it's shown here. However, in this particular patient, the problem still persisted, and he needed a surgical repair of his endolique due to further enlargement of his abdominal aortic aneurysm. Now, as far as treatment is concerned, using a variety of endovascular techniques, there has been evidence in the literature that onyx can offer better results for treatment of type 2 endolique. And this particular report from two institutions, from Massachusetts General and also from Baltimore, show that treatment of persistent type 2 endolique in 68 patients with a variety of techniques, coils, onyx, non-onyx glue, and lumbar ligation showed following results. In their conclusion, secondary intervention for persistent type 2 endolique is associated with success in less than half of the cases. Onyx glue, however, showed better results, particularly when it was used as initial secondary intervention. Now, there are issues with trans-arterial, trans-lumbar, or even anterior embolization of type 2 endolique via endovascular approach. And that could be either due to unusual position of the endolique where no access can be obtained with trans-lumbar puncture or with anterior wall puncture. Dr. Mark Muisson from Milwaukee has pioneered this innovative approach for treatment of type 2 endolique using laser-assisted trans-graphed embolization, or TGE. It's a technique for treatment of type 2 endoliques with use of laser energy to micropuncture the endographed via trans-femoral arterial approach to access the aneurysm sac at the precise site of the endolique nitrous irrespective of its location. Here is information related to the equipment that's being used for treatment of this type 2 endoliques. The technique utilizes laser energy to micropuncture the endographed via trans-femoral arterial approach to access the aneurysm sac. Spectro-netic CVX 300 has been used for his experience and with the use of XML laser fiber that measures 0.9 millimeter in diameter. And we have been also using a flexible or torqueable cathode. One of them is a distino cathode, but there are several other ones available on the market. Typically, we use one of the 0.014 microcatheter compatible wires. Typically, they are hydrophilically coated to enter into the aneurysm sac. And then we use the microcatheter to deploy either coils or use the onyx that is shown here. As far as onyx is concerned, it is ethylene vinyl alcohol co-polymer that is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and it's suspended in macronized tantalum powder. Tantalum powder is used for better visualization of the onyx material during the embolization procedure. It has been originally used for intracranial embolization of the aneurysms in the last several decades, but more recently, it has been used in multiple scenarios for treatment of a variety of peripheral conditions. One of the benefits of this particular product is that it contacts with blood, causes instant solidification while the liquid center continues to flow. It's used with solvent or DMSO, which diffuses away at the time of the procedure. It forms a spongy polymer cast, as it's shown on the right upper corner. Now, onyx has to be mixed in this particular mix. It typically takes about 20 minutes of mixing to mix it appropriately before it's being used. I would like to share with you some of the cases that have been treated with laser-assisted TGE with onyx for treatment of type 2 endoleak. As we can see here on the left-hand side panel, we can see type 2 endoleak that is difficult to treat with any other approach. Here in the middle panel, we can see position of the torqueable catheter in a coaxial manner with the iliac stem graft limb. And laser is activated. And the microcatheter is being advanced through the stem graft to the aneurysmal cavity. And then the wire is being introduced into the aneurysmal catheter. And microcatheter is advanced over the wire. And then onyx is being injected into aneurysmal cavity. As you can see, you can see it flowing in the aneurysmal cavity until the flow stops. And that usually indicates that we have completely excluded the cavity of the endoleak from any communication from the arterial flow. And the final image on the right-hand side shows solidified onyx. And the angiogram reveals no evidence of endoleak from a micro puncture that measured 0.9 millimeters in diameter with laser fiber. There is no need for deployment of any endographed within the stem graft to prevent any type of endoleak. So we can see here pre-embolization maximum aortic aneurysm diameter was 7.4 centimeters. And we can see type 2 endoleak. And then the right-hand side, we can see at 6-month follow-up that the aneurysm diameter has shrunk to 5.7 centimeters in diameter. We can see solidified onyx at the side of the previous endoleak and no evidence of any additional endoleak. Here is another patient of ours that had type 2 endoleak. And after stem graft procedure, as we can see, marked with a red arrow in the left panel. And then in the middle panel, we can see after the placement of the laser fiber and the microcatter into the aneurysm cavity injection of the onyx material. On the right-hand side, we can see the completion image where the onyx has solidified. And here we can see on the left-hand side, the final completion angiogram without any evidence of type 2 endoleak. And we have also a sceniographic image on the right-hand side showing excellent result and no evidence of type 2 endoleak. Here's another patient with a different stem graft with type 2 endoleak that is marked with a blue arrow. And then after placement of the onyx material in the aneurysm cavity, there is no evidence of any additional endoleak. And at a 12-month follow-up, we can see mark with onyx arrows on the CT, no evidence of endoleak. We have published with Mark Muizen our experience and their experience on TGE treatment with onyx for type 2 endoleak. The study was carried on from March 2011 until May of 2017. And the 32 patients were included. The technical success rate was 98%. And there were no major complications. At one-year follow-up, the CTA revealed 86% decrease or stable abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter. And this was published in the Journal of Vascular Interventional Radiology in 2017. In conclusion, type 2 endoleak is one of the most frustrating complications of EVAR due to its unpredictability and the need for close surveillance as well as high endovascular expertise for this type of repair. TGE with onyx offered easy access to the endoleak. And TGE reduces time and complexity of the procedure. This technique offers improved procedural and midterm results of treatment of type 2 endoleak. However, I believe that longer follow-up in a greater number of patients is needed to prove all benefits of this technique. Thank you very much for your attention.


Today, we're going to talk about front squats. If you've never done them before, I'm going to walk through exactly how to do them.  It just feels wrong. We'll stick around because we're going to run through all of the common mistakes that people make and how to fix them. The front squat is one of the friendliest lower body exercises for keeping the body kind of loose but still allowing you to really load your legs, get a nice hypertrophy growth and get stronger. The place that people most often mess up the front squat is in the setup. So it's even before the execution of the exercise. So we've got to make sure we get the setup correct. Now normally I would set the bar up high in a rack, but I don't have a rack here in my filming studio, so we're just going to clean the bar up to the shoulders. And from here, I don't want to hold the bar in my hands. That's the first mistake people make is they engage this upper body too much. Now you don't want to rely on the shoulders to hold the bar up. You want the bar to just rest on the body. You should be able to take your hands away and still hold the bar. Okay, don't shove it into your neck too much because there's blood vessels there that might prevent you from staying awake. I've seen it happen. Would not recommend. So from here, there's a couple different ways that you can grip the bar. The first one, most commonly seen, is the one you see in the Olympics. That's what I'm doing here. My fingers are just kind of stretching and holding the bar back. They're not really supporting the load though. Remember the weight is on the shoulders. This one requires a lot of wrist flexibility, so if you don't have that, the ways around it are to start turning your hands. And my second variation that I like is just using your thumb back on the bar. So all my fingers are off the bar, but my thumb is on the bar. And again, my weight is still through the shoulder. It's resting on my body. It's not resting in my hands, so that's a good one to do. And the simple one where you don't need any extra equipment is just to cross your arms in front of your body. I might say this is a crossed arm position or I might call it a bodybuilder style. In any case, whichever grip you decide to go with, make sure the elbows stay up high. That's what's going to prevent you from crunching over. Now once you have the optimal grip set up, you're all ready for this exercise. You've got to make sure those elbows stay up. You're going to spread your feet a little bit. I don't want to go super wide on the front squat because I want, I would say about shoulder width stance here. And then I'm just going to push the butt back and break out the knees at the same time while I squat down. Now the beauty of the front squat is the load is on the front of the body and it shifts your body back. It gives you more hip mobility, so I can actually sit way down here. And that's why you'll see a lot of Olympic weightlifters do something like this. If you don't have the ankle flexibility, you might need to elevate your heels. If your heels start coming up, you've gone too far. So let's see a whole rep. So, feet are together.  Now this is nice, slow and controlled. Just make sure the knees and the hips lock out at the same time.  One of the biggest mistakes to look out for once you've got your set up down is when you get to the bottom, you don't want your elbows crunching down. That shifts the bar load into your arms and makes you a lot weaker. It also moves your spine, puts you at a little risk for an injury. So we don't want that. Make sure that elbows, you're actively thinking, push the elbows up and forward as you descend. So they have to come up and forward more as you come down and that will keep the bar back on your shoulders and not shifting forward into your hands. Our next most common mistake is not keeping firm pressure of the foot in the ground.  We want nice even pressure all the way through the arches of the foot the whole time. Another common mistake is misaligning the knee. So we don't want the knee to fall outside the line made by the hip and the ankle. Nor do we want it to fall inside. Either one of these is twisting and tilting the knee, putting extra stress through the ligaments and the other soft tissues of the knee instead of keeping the load going straight through the joint and using your muscles to do all the work. So what that might look like is as I squat down, if my knees splay apart a lot, oftentimes people do this when they have really stiff posterior hip capsules and they can't get the depth for the exercise. So two things to think about there. One, don't go so low. You might just stop here and you might feel better quad and glute involvement as you're doing the exercise. And then two, the other thing, you can just try to push down through the arches of your feet the whole time. And then if you do that, your knees can only go out so far. Like this is about as much as they can go. And it's a little too wide, but it's not too egregious. So that'll help fix your problem. The other knee alignment problem is the knees caving inward. This is a knee valgus or a knock knee position. This is really common in people with loose ACLs, prior ACL, MCL, meniscus injuries, this is kind of your most common knee injury. So for something like that, we've got to make sure that the glutes stay active even as you descend. Oftentimes what happens here is you can keep the knee position on the way down, but then when you press up, the knees collapse. Part of that is just you have to learn what it's like to rebound out of the bottom with your glutes and hamstrings instead of just pushing with your hip flexors at the bottom. Because those hip flexors will cave your knees inward. So if it looks like this when you're going or it looks like this when you're going, you might need to lighten the load.  The last mistake that I see a lot of is extra spine movement causing the squatting motion. So when you come down, you don't want your back to round more to get the depth. You want to load the hips. If the back rounds, you're loading the back, not the hips. So make sure you keep the pressure in your hips and in your legs the whole time.  So keeping that just like that and then as we come up. So the decent problem that people normally have is around their back. The ascent problem is that people will arch their back. And so people will arch the back in order to not lock out with the glute. And sometimes the knees will even stay unlocked the whole time as well. So big fix for that one, the one that I find the most helpful. You still want to think about anything that makes the legs burn is good for this. But as you get to the top, you want to just make sure you get a good glute squeeze. Feet stay flat, glutes are squoze.  So that's a suboptimal. Oftentimes people will, you'll cue them on that. And then they'll do it this way instead. And you're like, yeah, you did what I said, but not what I meant. So just make sure that when you come down, your back's not rounding. And when you come up, your back's not arching. All right, that's gonna be it for me. If you learned something, hit the like button and subscribe to be notified when I release new videos. Hopefully you feel like at this point, your front squat is pretty much perfect. There's maybe some minutia, but the biggest thing is make sure you're limiting your depth, make sure you're stabilized with the spine and make sure you're loading the legs.  It's okay if you limit the weight to something that your back can do, but even if your legs could do more, right? So you have to train that somewhat. So this is still an upper back exercise. It's still involved. Even though we think about it as a leg exercise, there's still upper body stuff going on. If you need something else to watch, I got a whole series on coaching exercises. You might like some of those.


The story I'm telling you today is about my friend. My one and only friend. I've had him since I can remember. He's always been there for me. He's a good friend, really. He's fun to talk to, he has tons of awesome stories, and he always has some useful advice for when I'm feeling down. He's never given me his name, so I always call him grandpa in the closet. From what I can recall, he looked pretty unremarkable, though it was always dark when I saw him, so I can't recall much detail.  He had kind, dark eyes. Looking back, I guess the best way to describe him is as the stereotypical sympathetic grandfather. The kind of old man that isn't grumpy or constantly bitches about how the young ones are doing everything wrong and how everything used to be better in his time.  Awesome stories from his youth and the occasional useful life lesson. Needless to say, he didn't strike me as harmful, not in the very least. Had I been my current age of 20, I would have found it odd that he seemed to appear out of the darkness of my closet and would sit by my bed in the night. I would have had my questions about why he appeared around 3 a.m. to wake me up every night and talk to me. And I would have been unnerved by why it never wanted me to put on the light. But I was only seven back then. I used to enjoy those conversations. He was always full of interesting tales and funny jokes. And when we were really bored, he always had a few riddles for me to solve. Back then, I was never really scared of any of it. Every time I went to bed, I looked forward to being awoken by the man. He was my best friend back then. I was always a lonely kid, you see. I was never picked on or bullied or anything. Hell, in the beginning of my school days, I was asked by girls and boys from my class to come play at their place or vice versa like any other kid. But every time they would ask their parents, these grown up seemed in a hurry to get their children away from me, giving me a cold glare in the process. This was strange because being a pretty close knit Christian village I lived in, everyone seemed to know each other and everyone often visited each other as well. The only ones being left out were me and my family. I often wondered why they did that, but I didn't mind. I didn't need any friends anyway. My one and only friend came out of my closet at night. Another peculiar thing, well once I learned the whole story it made a lot more sense actually, was that my parents never discouraged my obsession with what most other parents would stamp as an imaginary friend. I don't remember them ever lecturing me that I should get out more and start making real friends, quite the opposite actually. As far as I can remember they were fascinated by my stories about the kind old man, asking me strange questions about how I felt in his presence, and asking me specific details about our conversations. They often encouraged me to talk to him and seemed overjoyed that I was taking a liking to my mysterious visitor. Over the years however, things started to change. I think I was 14. By then I was already longing for friends on the outside for quite some time. Problem was, I was dangling at the bottom of the school's social ladder. I was obviously a weird kid, having no computer or other forms of social media or interaction with healthy teenagers or anything to prove me wrong. I still believed my grandpa in the closet was as real as real could be. I had my doubts one time, one night when I asked him if he was real. He replied by simply picking up a random object on my desk. I believe it was a pen and placing it next to my pillow. When I woke up that morning, the pen was still there. That was enough proof for me that grandpa in the closet was real and not some result of lucid dreaming. Nonetheless, I started asking my parents why none of the other grown-ups in the neighborhood seemed to want to interact with their children, questions they usually dismissed in a mostly brisk way, with answers such as, because they aren't worthy or, does it matter, you don't know them. Had I heeded their words, I have no idea how things would have ended now. But I do know that one innocent family would have been spared from a terrible fate. That time, there was a new boy in class. He had just recently moved into town, into a house very close to school, and was a bit of an outcast, knowing no one, being an eccentric dreamer and coming from a family of non-Christians. Why on earth a family of non-believers decided to move to an entirely Christian community was and still is beyond me. Being an outcast myself as well, I would often hang out with a new kid. Let's call him Tom, shall we? Tom and I got along, and we soon became close friends. One day, when school was over, I decided to ask him if it was fine if I slept over at his place. He happily agreed, and we started talking about what we could do. Multiple suggestions surfaced, such as watching TV until after bedtime, or playing games until late. When he phoned his mom, Tom proposed it and she seemed fine with it. So with me not having a cell phone, we decided to wait for my mother to arrive to ask her if I was allowed to come. I could have known the answer. I think in my head, I already knew. But I was still disappointed when my mother answered with an absolute, not in a million years. Grabbed me by my arm, pushed me into the car, got in herself and drove away not even giving Tom as much as a second glance. Naturally, I was pissed. I just didn't understand why they wouldn't let me have this one chance to finally make another friend. I protested the entire ride home until my mother shut me up with a threat that I'd be in for some punishment if I would say one more word about it. That evening, the atmosphere during dinner was different. My mother was awfully quiet and seemed much more focused on the food than anything else. Whenever I did the same, I would find her exchanging looks with my dad or glaring at me in silence, only to quickly resume her dinner once she noticed I was on to them. My father was very touchy and would yell at me for the slightest things, such as not eating with a knife and fork or accidentally spilling some sauce, things he otherwise wouldn't notice. But there was something else, something in those looks they gave to each other. They were scared of something. That night, I did something I shouldn't have. I ran away. I was going to spend the night at Tom's house and there was nothing my parents were going to do about it. I waited until my parents went to bed. Dressed in the dark of my room, sneaked silently downstairs and exited through the front door as quietly as possible. My father's snoring could be heard even downstairs, indicating that he was still asleep. As for my mother, even if she was still awake, the snoring would have definitely blocked out the sound of my sneaking. It seemed to be a success. No one in the house had noticed me leaving. I was sure of it. But when I looked back to my house, I noticed something strange. The curtains of my room were open while I remember them being closed when I left.  Despite the fact that I shouldn't have been able to see two eyes in the darkness that was my room, those eyes seemed to illuminate themselves. I don't mean they gave off light or seemed to glow. It was just that they seemed completely unaffected by the darkness and therefore easily visible, like a white spot on a black background. I was paralyzed. A few seconds passed as the eyes peered into my soul in cold anger until strength returned into my muscles. Suddenly, I bolted. With speed I never imagined I would possess. I ran away from the house, away from my parents and away from those cruel, frightening eyes. I believe I was already halfway to Tom's house when I finally stopped running. I could feel goosebumps on my skin, and it was a warm night in August, so I knew it wasn't because I was cold. Were those really grandpa in the closet's eyes, those eyes that normally seemed so kind and understanding, how could they be like that? They weren't just angry. They were, well, the best words I can use to describe it is inhuman, like an enraged rabid beast about to strike. I was still thinking about this incident when I arrived at Tom's house. I noticed the whole place was dark, save for Tom's room. Part of me was afraid I would wake up as parents, but it was either try my luck or go back home to my room, to those eyes. So I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. To my relief, it was Tom who opened up. He was surprised to see me, but when I told him what I had done, a mischievous grin appeared on his face. He told me his parents were at a party and wouldn't come home for a few more hours. He happily led me in and I followed him to his room. For hours we amused ourselves with video games and playing on the internet. I knew what a computer was, but I never possessed one, so I had the best time of my life, just trying out all of its features and going across YouTube. We had a great evening. But when his parents arrived, we quickly turned everything off and went to bed. Tom, having put a sleeping bag for me on the ground, we decided we would explain my presence to his parents tomorrow. We didn't really think it through that much in retrospect.  It was still dark when I woke up. I noticed immediately that something was off since I didn't have to go to the bathroom and neither did I have some kind of terrible dream. I just woke up without a reason. And what was even stranger was this. You know when you wake up, how you're still sleepy.  I didn't have that. I was wide awake. Something else was also off. The room was unnaturally cold for this time of the year and for some reason the atmosphere had completely changed. For some inexplicable reason, a heavy feeling of dread filled the room like smoke, invisible, but easily felt. I knew something was off and I realized I was scared. That's when I turned my face towards Tom's bed to check what time it was on his alarm clock. My eyes quickly glanced over it, registering that it was four minutes past three. That's when my attention was shifted to something else, something that wasn't supposed to be there. A shadow in the corner of the room next to Tom's bed. I could vaguely recognize a human shape, though any other features were concealed by a pitch black darkness that seemed unnatural. The only thing that I could clearly make out were his eyes.  And a voice I recognized vaguely is that of my grandpa from the closet, but with none of the warmth and humor it usually had. You're awake. Good. I want you to see this. That's when he took one step towards me and entered the bright ray of moonlight entering the room from a window without curtains. What I saw couldn't possibly be the friend that I trusted for so long had he always been like this and had this hideous form simply been concealed by the darkness or was he truly capable of changing shapes.  His friendly smile had changed into an angry teeth growl, his teeth pointy like that of a shark. His hands had sharp claws and were bald into angry fists as he glared at me first before slowly turning towards Tom.  It was much too wide. It looked as if the skin itself all the way to his ears just split revealing even more fangs and a much bigger mouth. I was paralyzed with fear as he lifted Tom out of his bed by his head needing only one hand. Tom looked at me grinning. He was smiling. He kept smiling as the monster put him down on his feet again and placed both his hands on his head. He didn't bat an eyelid as the beast sunk the claws of both its hands into the flesh of his scalp and I'll never forget the sight of Grappa in my closet ripping the still smiling Tom's head into the boy's tooth grin splitting into his blood covered the floor and nearby walls. All the while the monster kept looking at me silently its eyes now filled with glee. When the dead body of Tom dropped on the floor the dull thud it produced somehow reawakened my muscles. I jumped out of my sleeping bag and with tears in my eyes ran down the hallway. On my way towards the stairs I noticed the lights downstairs were turned on. I figured Tom's parents had returned so I increased my pace while I already started crying for help. But when I arrived at the bottom of the stairs and peaked into the living room I wish I hadn't. Both of them were sitting on the ground in a pool of blood every bone in their body looking broken and twisted into impossible positions. At several points bone could be seen sticking through the skin indicating it had been done with brute force and the most disturbing thing was that while their bodies were facing away from me their heads had been twisted to look at me. They were staring at me in fact that same smile on their faces that I'd seen on Tom's. That's when my stomach finally gave in. I vomited up a mix of my last dinner and the many snacks and coke I drank together with Tom. After that I bolted towards the front door. It was locked but luckily the keys were still in the keyhole so all I had to do was turn it and the door opened. I was greeted by fresh air the scent of summer a welcoming breeze and my parents.  The sheer calmness with which they said let's go home was something I'll never forget. I learned my lesson though. I'm a good friend now and I'll never run away from my beloved grandpa in the closet anymore. He's a good friend. Really he's fun to talk to. He has tons of awesome stories and he always has some useful advice for when I'm feeling down. He just gets a bit jealous sometimes. Part 2 June the 17th 2011 police reported a shocking crime in the small town named New Borley in West Virginia. Dustin O'Reilly a 16 year old boy in high school and victim of vicious bullying for an extended period of time turned on the three peers that bullied him in a vicious rage and killed them. These kind of crimes happen and while they were pretty horrifying by themselves something about this particular crime was just plain sinister. It was how they were killed. Authorities found the bodies of the three victims in the storage room next to the gymnastics room. According to eyewitnesses Dustin had lured them there by taunting them in the halls. They ran after him thinking they would give him a good beating. Oh how wrong they were when some of the other people in the school heard the agonized horrified screaming they tried to open the door to the storage room only to find that it wouldn't budge. This was strange as there was no way a student could or should have the keys to lock any of the rooms in the school. The cries continued for slightly more than an hour loud enough for the entire school to hear. First all the three bullies cried then after 20 minutes or so one voice died out and then after 45 minutes the second. After an hour the janitor had managed to find a ladder and entered the room through a window. When the police interviewed him afterwards these were his words. When I entered the first thing I noticed was the smell. God it was an awful smell. Now because of the storage room's L-shaped design I wasn't directly able to see the victims. I could see the door though the one everyone had been trying to get open but that appeared to be locked. It had this huge metal cabinet placed in front of it the one where we store the weights. It would definitely explain why no one could get in. That thing had to weigh a few tons. Brushing aside how the hell someone could move that thing all by himself I followed the screaming voice and turned around the corner and I at this point the 43 year old man started visibly shaking. He moved corpses. He couldn't have he just couldn't have. He was always such a calm boy a bit weird but kind. He wouldn't do these things I mean by now the man had trouble not to burst out in tears. His eyes were wet and he had trouble keeping his voice calm. Something had really shocked him. One of them was alive. He was still alive and he was still having his way with him running a knife through the length of his of his. I vomited then. For a moment all I saw was my own vomit mixed with the blood on the ground. When I looked up again he was staring at me still torturing the poor guy and he gave me a smile this bone chilling inhuman smile. The janitor started sobbing and the police had to calm him down. After they had done so the janitor said that he wished not to continue the interview. What the police found when they finally entered was the bodies of the three bullies nailed to the wall the wall itself and the floor beneath it was covered with blood mixed with urine and vomit. All three of their bodies were mutilated beyond recognition. The boy himself when interrogated seemed almost as shocked as the janitor. In between crying and hyperventilating he kept telling the police that he didn't do it but that his grandpa from the closet had entered his body and made him do it. Made him watch. He said that he hated the bullies but that he never felt they deserved something like that.  The most confusing part however was near the end of the interview. Still sobbing but calmer than he had been for most of the interview he looked at the ground in shame and revealed that it was his fault for asking grandpa from the closet to help me stand up against these three bullies.  They believed Dustin suffered from schizophrenia and that his grandpa from the closet was an extremely twisted version of his own person that he used to store all the anger and frustration that was a result from his suffering at the hands of these three tormentors. There were still a lot of questions though. First of all how was it possible that a scrawny boy short for his age and lacking in physical strength could overpower three strong teenagers and nail them to a wall? It should have been impossible. Even more impossible was the possibility of him shoving the weight cabinet in front of the door. The empty steel cabinet itself needed four adults to even lift it and move it from one place to another and at the scene of the crime the weights themselves were still inside, untouched. The boys parents were contacted about the happening but were extremely reluctant to be interviewed. They seemed fearful and while not interrogated they spent a great deal of time whispering to one another in the waiting room. Their interviews revealed that Dustin had always been a sweet calm boy and that they never thought he would do anything like this though their tone was not entirely convinced. The next day Dustin O'Reilly disappeared from his cell vanished without a trace and so had the parents. Their house was searched for any clue of their current whereabouts but to no avail. They did find something peculiar when searching both the parents room and the room of Dustin. The parents room had hidden beneath other books inside a drawer a peculiar book with a black cover and a large red unknown symbol on the front. Its pages were filled entirely in strange runes and symbols that do not match any known language, current or ancient. The police reported feeling uneasy when looking at the book saying it gave off a vibe that could only be described as evil. When they searched Dustin's room they found a symbol identical to the one on the book's cover drawn in blood in the very back of his closet.


Okay, Bella Buddies, thanks for watching. I am sitting in my laundry room and I am listing and I got some bids on a couple items. And I got a message yesterday about these items. Hey, Bella Buddies, thanks for watching. On my little pony. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. And I am second guessing myself. So this is kind of just gonna be a little fun video because I feel like as resellers, we can all relate to this situation. So I wanna get your feedback. Plus, I wanna ask you about the items. Maybe you know something I don't know. Totally out of my comfort zone decided to list these. I have, I wanna say four, maybe five, maybe even six bags full of vintage clothing that I picked up at an estate sale. I started to list some of it and I'm like, I hate this. I hate it. I don't know what anything's worth.  I'm just gonna put this stuff on what not. So sitting in my garage waiting for my first what not sale, which is gonna be who knows when, but I will link down below my link to what not if you guys want to follow me. And if you're new to what not, you can get $10 credit towards your first purchase if you use my referral link down below. But go follow me. I'm making what not piles. I am, I really am making piles. I'm gonna do it. So let's talk about these items. Did I mess up? All right, so the first item. Actually, I'm gonna read the email I got first. So this is what made me a little bit suspicious. But I could just be reading totally into it. So here's what the message says. I am interested in buying this and the other red jersey. I need both for a costume next week and wondered if you would change to buy it now in combined shipping. So my first thought is this is a reseller trying to snag these items for super cheap and doesn't want the auction to go all the way through and they know Halloween's coming and this is the perfect excuse. That's just me thinking, okay? This is before it even had any bids. That's what came to my mind. Am I right? Maybe, maybe not. Like why do they need two? Well, maybe they need two. So would you guys be like, hmm, or would you be thinking maybe they just needed for a costume and it is what it is. All right, so the next thing I'm gonna show you. All right, so here is the first jersey. Again, it's got a bid for $29.99. It has four watchers. This thing is very much damaged. I believe it could be Dennison University, but I suppose it could be Ohio State. I think it's a college football jersey. I think it's football. Really, I just have no clue. But the person bidding on it is not the person that emailed me. So I guess that's good news. Maybe it'll get another bid at least. But I was just wondering, did I price it too low? I always say start your auctions at the minimum you wanna get. So I started it at $29.99 based on the condition. If this would have been in mint condition, I would have started at much higher. But now I'm like, I've had somebody send me a question and it already has a bid and there's still four days, almost five days left, okay? Here's the other one. Again, just really poor condition. This one I think has three watchers and it's at $29.99 by our pay shipping. So what I decided to do is go over to vintage football jerseys put in college and I searched highest sold. So what I'm looking at here is one that sold for a best offer. They had it at $900, but this is just incredible. It's some holiday bowl and it's from Hawaii. It's just a cool jersey. So mine is not that cool. But let's look at some of these others. I would feel like this one's kind of close to what mine looks like as far as the pattern. But I don't know, is it special? I really need your feedback. Anybody that knows about athletic apparel or jerseys sports stuff, I am absolutely clueless. But I did wanna show you some of these solds and there are also a lot of very low solds also. Let me go into let's search lowest first. Again, I don't recommend anybody ever starting their auction at 99 cents. I always say start it at the lowest you wanna take because you can always relist that item at a buy it now. Otherwise, you take the risk of selling your item for 99 cents, which who wants to do that? We all know it's more valuable than that, especially if it's a vintage jersey. So there are many, many that went for under $30. So maybe I'm just getting lucky or maybe I have something really special that I underpriced. Let me know in the comments what you guys think. Do you think it's Dennison University? Do you think it's Ohio State University? Is there a way to tell? Is there a way to date it? I mean, I don't know how old this thing is. It looks super old. If I had to guess, I would say, I have no idea, but it's really old. I don't think it's an antique, but I mean, it's got some years on it. It's got some age or maybe it's just really beat up. All right, let me know in the comments what you guys think. I am currently listing this bag of stuff. I'm supposed to be taking this and all of the money pile from my garage to my basement so that I can get my car in the garage. But every time I pull something out of the tote in the garage, I'm like, ooh, that would sound really good right now. I need to list that. And that's what I've been doing all week. So I'm getting lots of new items up in my eBay store, but I'm not getting the stuff to the basement. Yeah, kind of an epic fail there, but I just need to do that because winter is coming, snow is coming, and I do not want to have to scrape the snow off my car. I'm just not a fan of that. Do you guys like snow? Do you have snow where you live? I mean, you may live somewhere where it's sunny all year round. Ooh, that would be nice. All right, you guys, thanks for being here. Check out one of my other videos. I mostly talk about Bolo items, items to be on the lookout for, items you can buy low and sell for a profit. Also have videos that tell you what not to sell on eBay because policy violations, bureaus, they will get you so check out those videos. And I just said the word what not. Speaking of what not, I still plan to sell on there. This is an update. I have from this same estate, like six, maybe eight bags full of vintage clothing. I started to list some of them. I sold a skirt, I think for like 80 bucks. I got these jerseys up, but I just can't get excited about it. I just, I don't like the measurements. I don't like the research. I just want to do hard goods. So I think I'm going to bring those clothes to what not. Haven't fully decided, but if you're not on what not, there's a link down below. And you can join with that and get a $10 credit to shop. That is my referral link. It'll also take you over to my Bolo Buddies, what not. And you can follow me. So I would love that. And again, I'm probably going to bring these vintage clothes to what not. I will say a lot of them have like some issues, like these jerseys, but that doesn't mean that they're not worth money. And a lot of people know how to, like let me give you an example. So I have this right here. And this one is, it's Vanity Fair, which Vanity Fair is a fantastic vintage brand. And it's kind of, I feel like it's kind of yellowed, but maybe I feel like it's a little yellowed. Do you guys see it? But maybe there's a way to get that out. I don't know. I just don't know if I want to mess with all of these.  Want me to show you another one? I'll actually show you two more. So this one is called Barbizon. And it's a slip, it's nylon. And it's got this pretty little lace detail at the bottom. So I don't know. I don't know if I want to put these on eBay. I don't know if I'm just going to be lazy and bring them to whatnot. And this one is beautiful. I think I am going to list this one on eBay, but I don't know. I just, I keep saying that and it just keeps sitting. Again, it has a little bit of yellowing. I know people soak things and they have ways to do all that. I don't want to do all that. Don't want to do all that. So I'd be selling, I did run them through the washing machine just to, you know, because it's vintage lingerie. Just to kind of clean them and sanitize them, but I did not put any stain remover or do any soaking or whatever that special stuff is you can do with special ingredients. This one is Henson Nicaric. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick or Nick? Anybody know that? Size 34, 100% nylon. I'm guessing this is made in the USA. This one is really, really stunning. It's so cute. It's got the little flowers. So I don't know. I kid you not like tons of this stuff. All right. So follow me on what not those might be coming. I don't know. I haven't decided. Let me know your feedback. If anybody sells vintage lingerie. I have listed some, but again, I'm just, I'm not excited about it. So I'd rather just take it over to what not and just do it fast and move it out. So I can get my car in the garage. Thanks for watching.


Built the all Georgia Bulldogs team in Madden. Let's see what this team can do What's good you guys it's been years since I've done college team team So I wanted to bring it back number one had to start with the national champions a 95 overall from just one college Is honestly crazy, but it is Georgia. So I kind of expected this I think the only team that has a chance to be better than this team is Alabama, but that remains to be seen regardless. Let's go through all the studs on this team We've got the Steelers new first-round pick Broderick Jones who's a 98 overall left tackle I gave him edge protector and secure protector It is kind of weird that these guys have never played a snap in the NFL But they get crazy high overall cards, but it's like a rating based on their potential I guess offensive line overall though is really solid We got Ben Jones David Andrews Andrew Thomas and Isaiah win We had two centers and a lot of tackles, but there weren't any good guards So that's why Ben Jones is in a left guard and Andrew Thomas is in a right guard But honestly, it's still very very good for a college team team at tight end We have Lawrence Cajer and the backup actress be Andrew Thomas. So hopefully he's not catching passes wide receivers are awesome You've got AJ Green Isaiah Mackenzie and George Pickens George Pickens is a crazy good wide receiver in this game 99 speed six foot three. What more can you ask for one of my all-time favorite players of all time? Matthew Stafford is our quarterback 99 overall with the boost amazing accuracies and as for abilities We've got Gambit fearless and hot route master that Stafford has a pretty solid release too It's not the best in the game, but it's all right And we've got two incredible hat-backs as well We got Terrell Davis and Nick Chubb. This Nick Chubb is so good This is one of my favorite team diamonds that ever came out freight train bruiser and tank 98 overall 99 speed 99 acceleration 99 break tackle. You don't need much more than that. So that's our Georgia offense our Georgia defense is Super solid too, but we did have to make some interesting adjustments. So Thomas Davis has an out-of-position free safety card So that was amazing. We got this awesome 98 overall free safety However, no strong safeties at least none that were worth using it was interesting that Georgia had almost every single position locked up Except for their safeties now. Luckily, they do have a lot of very good corners So we took 98 overall Tyson Campbell gave them pick artist and put him at strong safety He's six foot one. He's pretty physical and he's insanely fast. His tackle is 90 his pursuit is 99 his hit powers 82 he's not gonna be the hardest hitting strong safety, but I think very serviceable We've got the two new guys on defense as well Jalen Carter who is now an eagle 6 3 300 pounds of 98 Block shed 99 power moves that should be an incredible detackle and we've got Nolan Smith as well also a Philadelphia Eagle This is damn near just an Eagles team team 99 speed 99 acceleration six foot three Crazy good left outside lawnmacker interestingly enough though The only gold 99 on this entire team is champ Bailey, but this champ Bailey is Ridiculously good. We've got acrobat and deep out zone KO 99 speed 99 acceleration You get the idea in fact champ Bailey has 99 in almost every single stat speed acceleration jump play rack man's own pursue Such a good card. We got keely Ringo. We got Eric Stokes Lorenzo Carter Jordan Davis Jalen Carter Justin Houston Trayvon Walker quay Walker Roquan Smith Nolan Smith That's actually weird the left side of our line is the walkers and the right side is the Smiths All right boys. That is the Georgia theme team with the 95 offense and a 95 defense It's so crazy that that's all from one college.

Oh, I'm missing got rocked. All right second and six This is a pass. Oh Tyson Campbell Tyson Campbell with a big hit and an IIT at strong safety Already in two plays that worked out better than I ever could have possibly imagined. We'll start out with a run here Going to Nick Chubb not getting much. Oh, I got it.  That was a monster play. All right first in ten Let's see if we can replicate that success. Ooh, check down check down Nick Chubb. Just take the hit. Yep So we got tank four That's a tight window and a bad ball. Oh, oh That could have been an int 100% certain five. I'm gonna run the football. I know it sounds crazy, but I oh my god Let's go Nick Chubb Great running. Oh Third and five pick up 14. I'm gonna give Nick Chubb a route over the middle Does he see it? Oh, he doesn't he's late Nick Chubb carry Nick Chubb is literally carrying. Let's go He calls the time out. He didn't like the pace. I was hitting him with a no huddle Let's go right at the middle this time. That's solid line man. We can do this right at the middle good blocks Nick Chubb will take four Can't complain about that Job over the middle. No, oh That was a touchdown if we could get it. Damn it bonked off another lineman for the goal from the five I'm going for it. He's adjusting. He's on young blood Patience patience. We got to be patient here. No, how did he get free? You're kidding me. I had I had five linemen and he just walked through them Oh, I could have had so much time back there. Yikes boys turn over on the five Damn, he picked up a lot of yards there. All right. Let's I think this is play action I'm gonna try and sack the QB. Yep. Yep. Yep. Let's go Nolan Smith with a sack right there. Let's go. Ooh Taking a shot at Eric Stokes Oh Almost tipped it up and caught it. He took a shot though. Damn. Good defense third 18 Okay, that's mine Eric Stokes will come down with it.  Let's see if I can get the ball in on offense I got to get Nick Chubb coming across the middle if he's not gonna guard this. I'm gonna take it If he's not gonna guard it, I'm gonna take it.   Sorry boys I'm I'm sorry for how this game has gone so far I'd like for there to be some points up on the board Great defensive play a Trayvon Walker or was that quay Walker get two walkers in here. I think it was quay Oh my god, we got home Trayvon Walker is in there with Nolan Smith my linebackers are so fast 1316. Let's see where he goes here Good defense a great tackle fourth and seven. It's gonna be the two-minute warning We could get another turn over right here gonna need some good defense here fourth and seven Does he block the hat back again? I think the answer is yes.  This is QB sneak. Oh my god It's not oh Ballsy play call as a good play call. Damn. This guy's gotten so lucky so far. This is such a bummer All right seven is zero unlucky. Let's go score. We got to win this game, man It's a playoff game if it's man coverage. I'm going cage or if it's zone I go pickings It was zone. Oh So I don't know what just happened there his user was frail. Oh, did his controller die?  This is diabolical. We got to stay in it though. Or is is he playing me? Is this like a galaxy brain strat?  It might be Stafford using those legs getting three yards. All right. He was back. He came back to his screen there 3rd and 2 15 seconds left. This is like crucial crucial time right now.    Look at this by this a j green. Whatever.  That's a that's a good It's a very good bounce back drive right there first in 10 nine seconds left. He's definitely got to go yard I'm just gonna keep sending blitzes.  All I could end up doing here is throwing an interception Let's just stat pad stat padford Oh, wait a minute. Isaiah McKenzie. All right, Isaiah McKenzie starting to sound hot. It's first in 10 Nick shrubs wide open. Oh, that is not my job. That is terrell davis Who makes a big hit? No abilities. Nice work first in 10. I'm gonna keep looking at that of a feeling He's not gonna guard that I had a feeling he wasn't gonna guard it. And what do you know? He's not gonna guard it. We'll take those eight yards and we will just keep churning I think he's manned up on it there.  Do we think this is man coverage? What do we think about this? Oh, I could have thrown why I think if I was still in the pocket, I could have delivered an absolute Laser to why I literally just didn't have the balls I know the ball is right there to do it.  And he fumbled. Who is that?  Dude, this game has been so unfortunate.  Oh, this is that same play throw it to him. Oh It was an rpo. I thought he was gonna throw megatron. We stuffed it though. That was nice I need him to make a mistake.  Let's go. Let's go take it now.  This is the playoffs man. No fumbling. No crazy iant Let's just get this ball in the end zone. Yeah Great route Great route for my zea mckenzie torched his man onto the 43 yard line You're about to see an aggressive chew clock strategy. I'm not letting this game slip out of reach. No chance Every time prime time there is a zero percent chance that you can tackle that man zero Stafford 17 for 23 242 and i have only one touchdown on the board. That's crazy. That's all right boys Let's power through he hasn't seen the run in a long time. I'm gonna give it to him now Great blocks gentlemen nick chubb powers ford for six. Oh, yeah, he's in trouble He's in trouble that two minute warning is coming up. He can feel it nick chubb.   Let's see what he's got Oh, yeah, wide open lords kager. Can you fight? Yes, damn. I was hoping he'd run him over and give me the first he got Flattened third and two. I get the first down its game.  We're going ball carrier conservative and We're just gonna get this into a nice field goal range gonna keep it simple here I can't overthink this Ooh Second and three I'm actually gonna call the time out because I would prefer to score a touchdown because my kicker is a punter I have the scottish hammer on special teams Georgia didn't have any special teamers that I could grab and he's not a good kicker at all Like he could shake the field goal. So I don't want to run that risk. I would love to just like score Well, that's not gonna happen.  I'm gonna let it go to two. I'm gonna kick the field goal He's gonna ice me. I we technically could go into overtime. I don't expect it three Two seconds on the clock. There's our time out He'll wait for me to come out and he'll ice me the scottish hammer The lefty punter is gonna come out here and kick a nice kick. Let's see how it goes boys. Here we go.  I really don't Sorry any read. I don't know what to say man. Get gooder. Wow Dude, I'm so sorry to be negative boys That game was tough. The fumble was tough The int was tough, but damn, you know what we fought we played excellent defense And that last drive. I think I burnt four minutes. Look at the player stats here boys 20 for 26 260 a touchdown interception. He had a kid four interceptions And I only scored 10 points. That's so crazy Nothing crazy, but nick chubb eight for 66 kager was four for 66 aj green two for 40 We had a really good game there an interception for tyson campbell two for eric stokes Player the game was right here. This is the play of the game, man. He's about to get another touchdown I see the playmaker quay walker steps up and It's two feet down What a play Also, like who is this bum? Who is this bum that got absolutely flattened just got eaten up by shawntaylor This was the most diabolical play of the game. You ready for this? Look at this nick chubb pass It's in his mitts But okay, it teleports to his knee. That's fine. It's helpful.  I don't know if i'm gonna keep doing college theme teams I want to see your guys reaction to this one first, but if you love it I would love to do some more of the big name colleges, but yeah, it's been a blast I hope you guys enjoyed and i'll see you in the next video. Peace


So everyone today is Monday April 13th at 8 a.m. Gonna do a video watch this day So for those that don't know every Monday, I do a free video watches on YouTube in the morning And then in the afternoon around 11, I do free YouTube recap where I recap all my live trades So every Monday, I make this watch this free for everyone and then every day or every other day I make it for the members and MIC. So Let's kind of go over the plays the week One thing that I want to make note of is that We the market was closed on Friday for good Friday So a lot of traders have FOMO and a lot of traders are gonna be starting in pre-market today A lot of people are itching for a trade a lot of people are gonna be like horny teenagers where they just want to go go go Reality is today those who are patient will be the ones that are rewarded So I'm just kind of keeping that in the back of my mind not trying to trade pre-market Trying to take it slow be calm and just wait for my setups to show up. So let's start Tlsa.  It's at like three bucks now.  So in the morning, hopefully we get a pop Towards this kind of to It's like 205 to 10 area It's kind of tough to see let me try to zoom in Looking to short a pop towards these levels here in the morning Hopefully we get up that high even $2 might be okay at this point because it's so broken down CTSO This is kind of like a real company that has a large market cap and the chart is kind of like a breakout a little bit So I don't really want to touch this on the short side. So we're just gonna avoid it PST I if you notice this stock is above Thursday's highs So whatever stock is above the previous days highs, it is not short for me That's very bullish price action So on something like this ideally we wanted to tank under eight dollars and then we'll short the rebound I'm not looking to get cute on this. So we'll have more commentary at the open. Let it tank first and then we'll attack CNF there's a former runner Ideally in the morning we get a push towards this kind of to 60 to 70 to 80 area to short But if it just tanks like this, I'm okay shorting pop towards 250 or 260 in the morning So let the price action confirm and then we'll just short on pop a lot of meat on the bone there BCRX this one is kind of interesting. It's kind of already Excuse me, it's kind of already fading pre-market a little bit. So in the morning looking to short a pop towards three dollars Right looking to short pop towards three dollars 310 oops 310 and 320 So there's waiting to get tanked so I'm just waiting for to bounce and then I will short the bounce Last but not least I actually missed this one until bow mentioned it. I see the this one kind of Popped up and then gave it all right back if I'm just drawing my lines I can see very clear resistance spots around 850. I can see very clear spot around 950 So in a perfect world we get nine dollars nine fifty to kind of scale in short. So let's see Let's see W or X popping now, that's crazy. Let's do some research on it Pull this up five million float, okay See if there's anything in the filings. Let me just check the chart chart is telling me around 815 Some resistance Let's see That's a very dangerous stock. Let me check the filings real quick Nothing crazy. I see in the filings. All right, so we'll keep this one on watch I'll kind of talk about it more in the room.
