Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes cannot merely be called a story. It is in fact, an EPIC ADVENTURE! From start to finish the book grabs you by the, well, "eyes" and won't let go. All at once it reminded me of some of the best adventure epics - Peter Pan, Percy Jackson, and The Princess Bride. And while those may seem lofty comparisons, the truth is that Peter, oh so nimbly, rests right alongside them. This is book practically begs to be read aloud - orphans, master thieves, sword fights, and shipwrecks. Really , what more could you ask for? Magical eyes? Messages in a bottle? Mysterious haberdasher? Yep, it has those too, all wrapped up in a charming story filled with fun and a little wordplay thrown in for good measure. It will absolutely be one of my first classroom read alouds this fall. The Newberry Committee had better be paying some serious attention to this one!
This would be a great read-aloud book for parents and kids. Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes is a great tale of adventure that spans a wonderfully imaginative world. Death and destruction are not skipped over in this story and there is quite a bit of fighting, but what Peter and his sidekick Sir Tode are fighting for is worth it. Peter is a humble character; even if he is the best thief the world has ever known. The creativity in the story lasts the entire way through. There was never a dull moment as each chapter left me wanting to know what would happen next. This is a story for the imagination as nearly everything would be impossible in our reality. If you can suspend your disbelief and not question why or how the story goes, it will be a completely enjoyable ride. Reviewed by Jessica for Book Sake.
Over the past several months I've read a few books intended for younger audiences, none of which really struck my fancy. I was beginning to worry that there was something lacking either in contemporary children's literature or, worse, my imagination. Fortunately, I soon came across Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, which immediately captured my imagination and my heart. Peter is an endearing hero as a 10-year-old blind orphan who is surprised to find himself transitioning from the role of thief to that of kingdom-rescuer. Even if we feel from the beginning that Peter is destined for greater things, his hesitations and troubled self-doubt make him relatable and quickly win the reader's sympathy. I loved the Dickensian setting of the beginning of the novel, and while I missed that darkly Victorian world as the book progresses into a magical realm, Auxier's witty narrative voice and the enthralling quest Peter sets out on more than compensated for that absence. As a bonus, each chapter features one of Auxier's lovely pen-and-ink drawings, and I can only hope we'll see more of his artwork in future projects! Definitely recommended for audiences young and old alike.
Simply awesome. I love Sir Tode, he crakes me up. One of my all time favs!!!!!
Witty, charming, feel-good adventure. I highly recommend it.
Best book ever!
After reading Peter Nimble and his Fantasic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier one word came to mind, "epic". I decided to google the word to figure out if it truly fit the feelings that I was having towards the book. After sifting through countless definitions on many websites I decided that this book is in fact epic. The definition that best matched my feelings was: heroic and impressive in quality. I feel that Peter truly was heroic and the writing was extremely impressive in quality. I generally don't read book that are close to 400 pages. Most of my fourth graders tend to not be ready or interested in books of that size, and the students that are ready tend to have their own titles in mind. After recieving an ARC in the mail I decided to give Peter a chance. I am in love with this epic quest. Peter is a blind orphan that was found floating in the ocean eyeless. His eyes pecked out by a raven. He spends his life working as a thief for a man that treats him like dirt. One day he steals a box containing three pairs of eyes from a mysterious traveler. His curiosity gets the better of him and he slips one pair into his empty sockets. Instantly he is transported to an unknown island. That is where his quest begins. I'm not going to go any more into the plot. I went into this book knowing very little, and I feel that you would benefit from uncovering his quest as you read. Being a reader of shorter middle grade books at times I struggle to stay focused on longer text, but this book felt like a 400 page sprint. The action was often and exciting while at the same time developing beautiful characters and an awesome new world. Throw in a few twist and turns and you have yourself a tale that will hook readers of both middle grade and young adult.
The author of this book is one of my aunt's friends so of course I had to read it. I ended up with my favorite book of all time. This book is wonderfully told through a very creative point of view. It has heart racing twists and is a MUST read book. And all of you people that hate this book. Hey mabye this just isn't your type of book, but it isn't terrible so don't go saying mean things. I am pretty sure that the author of this book sometimes reads these comments, and if you are saying mean things it hurtstheir feelings. So in concluaion this book is amazing, and please don't hate if you don't like the book, it may just not be your type. -6th grader (Fantasy lover.)
This was a great book! I enjoyed it a lot and I almost wish.it didn't end (but if a story didn't end would it be a good story or just a bunch of words that went on forever?) :) :)
I had the opportunity to meet the author, Jonathan Auxier, while student teaching. He came to speak to my middle school students about this book. I didn't expect much except for a break from being in front of the room teaching Math. The presentation was awesome! Jonathan was so charming and charismatic. He presented Peter Nimble in a way that had everyone captivated. So, of course, several students and I bought the book immediately to read. This really is an epic adventure! I had several conversations with students about how Peter taught them about their own destinies. Even though they don't have fantastic eyes, this book helped my students understand that they, too, are destined for greatness. Anything that does that deserves at least 5 stars..
I loved this book and I'm in my early forties. I bought it to read to my son and ended up reading it myself. A very creative and well told story. I'm looking forward to more books from this author. I agree with another reviewer, it is an epic adventure!
I absolutely LOVED this book! Yes, it is an MG book, and yes, I am an adult, but I enjoyed every minute of this book and couldn't put it down! I'm so excited for my sons to read it because it has everything they could want in a book: action, adventure, heroes and villains, fighting and thieving!! What boy wouldn't want to dive into it! Peter Nimble has had a very difficult life. He is found abandoned as an infant, with his eyes having been pecked out by the crows who are found with him. He scrounges out a life as best he can, until he is taken in by a cruel man who teaches him to be the best thief in the world so he can steal for him in exchange for the meager food and board he provides. All that changes when Peter steals a box with three pairs of eggs in it - and magically, each pair of eggs has a pair of eyes in it. When Peter puts in the first pair of eyes he is transported to an island where a kind man takes him in and explains that these eyes are meant only for Peter, to help him on a quest to save a damsel in distress. Peter sets off on the adventure of a lifetime, where he finds his destiny. This was such a fantastic, magical book, and I definitely recommend it to all fans of fantasy and adventure, who love a good underdog to root for :D
This book is great and highly suggested!actually met the author!
I started this book and could not put it down. It is charming and witty. As some other reviews have said, it was kind of sad, but I think that makes it better. You can tell a book is good if it moves you, and Peter Nimble most certainly moved me. This book is an adventure-filled must-read. - J.M.
I love it :)
I loved this story for its richness, its clever use of phrases, its illustrations -- which I kept referring back to, its explorations of scary/safe worlds, its friendships, its examples of loyalty and courage. Everyone in our family wanted the privilege of reading this story aloud to the grandchildren, but our grandson picked it up and started reading ahead, while his dad reads each night to he and his brother. I asked my 8-year-old grandson if he liked the book. With a huge smile, he replied, "I REALLY, REALLY like it!"
It was very boring. Could not even remember what I read on a day to day basis. That's all I have to say.
This is one of my all time favorite books.Peter's adventures and the people he meets on the way are so interesting.
This book is a good bedime story or anytime story because it brings fantasy and adventure into one book. It also gets you thinking about how greatfull we are to not be blind or deaf. I think this is a good read for all ages and i hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.
Auxier did a good job with his Night Gardener. But this one? Not so much.
Amazing ending
This book is really good. I totally think you shoud read it. It is really awsome how the author says alot about how smart kids are and how dumb grown-ups can sometimes be. In short, this is a good book and you shoud really read it

Hi. Greetings. Pimples may often leave spots especially if not treated or if we burst pimples or pick them. You'll need skin lightening creams for a specified duration to reduce the marks , and this could also be dealt with chemical peeling. Also you must use a sunscreen to prevent darkening of the spots. For scars, creams may not work n you may need procedures like microneedling, microneedling rf, fractional lasers, prp or subscision or a combination of these. Send in your pictures on g follow up private chat if you need further assistance. Or see a dermatologist near you and discuss the same with him. Hope this helps. Warm regards.

What is 3 -Phase Loco????

Blog Post# 292843-4
Begins Falls Rises ™~ Added by: Cheetah*^~ Nov 27 2011 (20:06)
this is the answer!!!!
Three-phase AC locos such as WAP-5 use some fairly new technology as compared to the earlier generations of diesel-electrics and electrics. In most of the earlier locos, the traction motors driving the axles are DC motors. DC motors were used because they afforded (in those days) far superior speed and torque control compared to AC motors — the latter require variation of input frequency and voltage for effective control, which was not an easy matter earlier.
Modern microprocessor technology and the availability of efficient and compact power components have...
changed that picture. In 3-phase AC locos, the input (single-phase AC) from the OHE is rectified and then 3-phase AC is generated from it, whose voltage, phase, and frequency can be manipulated widely, without regard to the voltage, phase, frequency of the input power from the OHE. AC traction motors can thus be driven with a great degree of control over a wide range of speed and torque.
AC traction motors are also used on diesel-electrics nowadays. The WDP4 & WDG4 are examples of this.
Details: There are 3 main stages in the power circuit of a 3-phase AC loco.
Input Converter : This rectifies the AC from the catenary to a specified DC voltage using GTO (gate turn-off) thyristors. A transformer section steps down the voltage from the 25kV input. It has filters and circuitry to provide a fairly smooth (ripple-free) and stable DC output, at the same time attempting to ensure that a good power factor presented to the electric supply. There may also be additional mechanisms such as transformers, inductors, or capacitor assemblies to improve the power factor further.
The transformer section is designed with high leakage impedance and other characteristics, which together with the fine control possible with the GTO switching, allow the loco to present nearly unity power factor, a very desirable situation from the point of view of the electricity suppliers (the grid). The main transformer also has some filter windings which are designed to further attenuate harmonics from the loco's traction motors which may pass through the filtering in the DC link.
The input converters can be configured to present different power factors (lagging or leading) to the power supply, as desired. IR's WAP-5 and other 3-phase AC locos are generally configured to present a unity power factor (UPF). (Note: the power factor cannot be changed on the run.)
DC Link : This is essentially a bank of capacitors and inductors, or active filter circuitry, to further smooth the DC from the previous stage, and also to trap harmonics generated by the drive converter and traction motors. Since the traction motors and drive converters present non-linear loads, they generate reactive power in the form of undesirable harmonics; the DC link acts as a reservoir for the reactive power so that the OHE supply itself is not affected.
During regenerative braking this section also has to transfer power back to the input converter to be fed back to the catenary. The capacitor bank in this section can also provide a small amount of reserve power in transient situations (e.g., pantograph bounce) if needed by the traction motors.
Drive Converter : This is basically an inverter which consists of three thyristor-based components that switch on and off at precise times under the control of a microprocessor (pulse-width modulation). The three components produce 3 phases of AC (120 degrees out of phase with one another). Additional circuitry shapes the waveforms so that they are suitable for feeding to the traction motors. The microprocessor controller can vary the switching of the thyristors and thereby produce AC of a wide range of frequencies and voltages and at any phase relationship with respect to the traction motors. Various kinds of thyristor devices are used to perform the switching.
Currently produced modern locos generally use GTO thyristors (Gate Turn-Off thyristors), but it is expected that soon insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), which offer extremely high switching speeds allowing for finer control over the waveforms generated, will be the switching technology of choice. The WAP-5, WAP-7, WAG-9, and WAG-9H models all use GTOs. At present [5/02], no Indian loco uses IGBTs; some trial locos such as the 12X from Adtranz do use this technology, as do many light-rail and metro locomotives or EMUs around the world. [5/02] The new AC-DC EMUs in the Mumbai area (introduced on WR) use IGBTs.
The 3-phase AC is fed to the AC traction motors, which are induction motors. As the voltage and the frequency can be modified easily, the motors can be driven with fine control over their speed and torque. By making the slip frequency of the motors negative (i.e., generated AC is 'behind' the rotors of the motors), the motors act as generators and feed energy back to the OHE — this is how regenerative braking is performed. There are various modes of operation of the motors, including constant torque and constant power modes, balancing speed mode, etc. depending on whether their input voltage is changed, or the input frequency, or both.
AC motors have numerous advantages over DC motors. DC motors use commutators which are prone to failure because of vibration and shock, and which also result in a lot of sparking and corrosion. Induction AC motors do not use commutators at all. It is hard to use a DC motor for regenerative braking, and the extra switchgear for this adds to the bulk and complexity of the loco. AC motors can fairly easily be used to generate power during regenerative braking. In addition, DC motors tend to draw power from the OHE poorly, with a bad power factor and injecting a lot of undesirable harmonics into the power system. AC motors suffer less from these problems, and in addition have the advantage of a simpler construction.

Deep Energy Retrofit: HVAC Overhaul
When the HVAC system in Jeff Wilson's 70-year-old Cape Cod home broke five years ago, well before his Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) efforts, he used the opportunity to upgrade the old unit to a system that is 97 percent efficient. With other efficiency measures, including insulation and new windows, his energy bills will eventually be two-thirds less.
Jeff shopped around before settling on this Bryant air conditioner with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) of 16. (The higher the number, the more efficient the system.) This unit works in concert with the 97-percent-efficient furnace with the variable-speed blower that allows Jeff to set the humidity level on his thermostat. This feature reduces air conditioning usage.
When choosing a new air conditioner or furnace, Jeff offers this tip: Buy the best system you can afford now. That way, as technology evolves, your system will remain relevant and continue to provide energy savings well into the future.
Here, Jeff outlines the features and benefits of the Bryant HVAC system he chose for his home. Those include: an efficient, maintenance-free motor; variable-speed control to adjust air flow based on the season and manage humidity; an easy-to-replace filter; a pre-filter that captures airborne particles; and greater heat return to the home in winter for efficient air filtering.
Jeff's furnace capacity is perfectly sized for his home, which is important to maximize the efficiency of the system. "If the system kicks on and cools down the house in five minutes, that sounds like a good thing — but the compressor will burn out years before it is supposed to," he points out. Bigger is not better. Size the HVAC to the size of your home, he advises.

Samsung clarifies handset region-locking in face of consumers' fears
(Relaxnews) – Yes, handsets built since July are now locked to the region in which they are purchased but the new feature is meant to stop grey market phone sales, rather than owners avoiding roaming fees when using their devices in foreign countries.
The need for a region-specific SIM card affects all Galaxy Note III phablet handsets, plus Galaxy SIV, SIV Mini, Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Note II devices built since July.
However, Samsung claims that the new feature has been introduced to stop unscrupulous resellers from buying handsets from one country or region where devices are cheaper and then selling them to consumers in another country.
Therefore, yes, the phones are locked to a specific SIM, meaning that if a consumer buys a new flagship handset in Europe, upon initial activation it must contain a European SIM card in order for the phone or phablet to function. But, and it's a big but, once activation is complete, foreign SIM cards can be inserted into the device for cheaper calls and to avoid hefty international roaming charges.
Still, it also means that buying a new handset from the airport before catching an international flight could be a huge pain as, according to Samsung's statement, if the handset isn't properly set up and therefore fails to work, the consumer will have to take it to one of Samsung's recognized service partners to get the fault corrected and the phone set up properly.
The biggest problem though is that the initial story broke on September 26 when phone retailers in Europe and the US noticed that the packaging for new Samsung devices carried an equally new SIM Lock sticker, and that five days later, Samsung is yet to issue an English-language statement clarifying to consumers or retailers, what the stickers actually mean.
So far, only the company's German PR agency has been forthcoming with any form of statement.

What was your best lipgloss ever?
I keep a lipgloss in the pocket of every coat I own so that I never go outside with dry lips. I can't stand chapped lips!!!
I have tried Burt's Bees and it's not what it's cracked up to be. Good but not terrific. I did have a lipgloss from a health food store that I found terrific and all natural.
Lately, Bath & Body works has one with a sugaring tip on one end and eadible colour on the other that works great. I suggest to try it.
I want if any body has a fave for winter when it's tough to keep your lips alive! - lolol
|Junkie! on Dec 26, 2009 @ 05:46 pm
i'm literally a lip gloss junkie.. i've tried at least one gloss from every brand available in Canada. i have a lot of faves, but suprisingly enough bonne belle's lip lites is in my top 3 faves. its smooth, moisturising, inexpensive, long lasting, and who doesnt love the smell of angel food cake? recently though i discovered avon's new color trend glosses. they're a lot like the bonnebelle ones but i find they last waay longer than bonnebelle and again they're super cheap!
|OMG on Jan 01, 2010 @ 02:12 pm
OMG - I can't beleive it!!! - I keep that lip gloss in my top drawer in the office - you don't need a mirror because the colour is very forgiving - and you're right the taste is yummy!!!
I've tried Terrra Gloss by Alba and it's good too - lots of vitamin E and natural stuff - you find it in a helth food store - the taste is not so bad either.
Still hunting :)


text: Hello win7 community. This is my First time to post here. I hope to start off with a bang! I've done research on this subject and there is yet to be a definitive solution as to why many people are not able to shutdown or restart, leaving us to switch the machine off manually. Here are a couple of interesting details I found in my setup: 1. The OS restarts normally in safe mode. Could it be a service? 2. On a fresh install shutdown and restart work for a couple of days, then kaput. Another user posted that he only had 4 programs installed 2 being Firefox and Thunderbird, so it couldn't be those causing the problem. I also had the theory about Gadgets, so I disabled all of them, and still nothing. Any suggestions about this or for additional information from me, please let me know.

Top Gear Live Stunt Team has set a new world record by becoming the first to complete a spectacular double loop-the-loop on four wheels in front of 15,000+ live audience at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban, South Africa.
The record breaking stunt featured two giant steel loops positioned just eight metres apart. The specially prepared buggy had to enter each loop at between 24mph and 26mph. Failing to achieve the minimum speed risked the buggy falling out at the top of the loop. Too much speed would have resulted in an extra G of force on the driver and could have caused him to black out.Tags: Deadly 720, double loop, featured, record, stunt, Top Gear, Top Gear Live, trick

Canadians will like Trump's personality better when they see more of him, but he will provide consistent leadership in the Western Alliance
George H.W. Bush, however, reportedly voted for Clinton. Jeb Bush wouldn't say who he voted for, insisting he believes in a secret ballot
It's not difficult to fathom why the Bushes would spurn a nominee who has upended the party they defined for decades — and bashed the Bush family's legacy
Now neither former president Bush is supporting the Republican nominee, with the senior Bush actually crossing party lines to vote for Clinton.
The answer is that the conservative movement has changed — it's a rather more angry beast than it used to be
By forgetting the Powell Doctrine, the U.S., Canada and the rest of the West have devoted only a tiny percentage or their military power to defeating ISIL
Full of humour and praise, former President George W. Bush and his VP, Dick Cheney, reunited at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday to unveil a marble bust of Cheney
On Rumsfeld: 'There's a lack of humility… He's more kick ass and take names, take numbers. I think he paid a price for that,' George H.W. Bush told his biographer
Bush, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease years ago, appeared at several events in Maine last week in support of his son Jeb's presidential campaign
The 20-year-old alarm system stopped working in September 2013 and was not replaced for at least 13 months, until November or December of 2014, the report says

I had trouble deciding what to post about first with all the fun we've been having lately! Since my sweet mother-in-law didn't get a chance to see our booth, but listens to me talk about all the stuff, I thought I would post these pictures first for her to see. She is also constantly on the hunt for good things for us! She is a complete asset to our business.
Here are some pictures from our booth at the flea market this weekend. This is a 10x10 space so we really try to stack and squeeze all we can into it.
As each piece of furniture sells, we do a quick re-do to fluff up the space.
This is the inside of the antique wardrobe we sold. It was such a beautiful piece and would be great for so many uses. Pam and I both would have loved to have kept this, but since there was only 1, it's probably a good thing it sold.
The china cabinet was a great place to display the hand poured soy candles made by Pam.
I totally stole this idea for displaying our business cards. I saw this on the counter of a local boutique recently.
I ordered some French flash cards from Etsy to use in these vintage card file drawers.
This wreath is made from French dictionary pages.
We mets lots of wonderful people again this time from locally and out of town. People come to this flea market from out-of-state to buy and sell. Even though it rained more than half the time we were there, it was a fantastic weekend all around. We are planning to go back in October and set up 2 spaces. We're excited about the possibilities more space will give us.
Thanks for stopping by our blog!

Having declared myself in the 'Remain' camp in advance of the referendum, it will not come as a surprise that I was greatly saddened by the result. However, I find I am more bewildered than angry.
Secondly, although the Brexit campaign 'won', in truth I don't really think it would ever be a winning situation for either side. More than 15 million people voted to stay in the EU. That is a huge number of people. The remain campaign wasn't entirely unsuccessful - it just wasn't successful enough. People on both sides of the debate became impassioned by what they believe in. That said, it was awful to see how negative the campaigning was, and although a lot of argument was about what people believe in - it was also about what people fear. Shame on those that exploited the fear element to persuade people to their view. The referendum has divided the population of the UK very nearly 50-50. There would have been work to do, to heal the division, whichever side came out in front.
We fear the future, but we still don't actually know what the reality will be. We mustn't become impotent and unable to be part of shaping a future that we believe is right, even if the foundations we would have chosen are no longer available. When there is change there is also opportunity.
The worst thing in my opinion is the hatred that has been unleashed. It is sickening to the core to hear of individuals being attacked for the way they look or dress - an assumption that they should be sent home when the UK is the only home they have ever known. And I am horrified that as a nation we don't seem to have more respect for people who have come to the UK with the best of intentions - to work hard, to contribute, to make a better world for their families and for us all. Horrified that we don't have more hospitality to offer those who arrive traumatised and in desperation, who have struggled to escape their homeland because it has been ripped apart by war and they are seeking refuge only to find there is none.
The vote was one monumental day in our history. It was one choice we had to make that had such enormous repercussions. But every day we have choices to make and we need to keep working towards a better world.
In New Zealand there is an emphasis on building resilience - in buildings and communities. Neighbourly-ness is encouraged, with an awareness that if the big one strikes [earthquake] a thriving community will cope better and recover more quickly.
In the UK, communities now need to rebuild, and as individuals we need to model the behaviour we want to see: treating friends and strangers with an open mind and an open heart. We all have a different story to tell. Our voting preferences are one part of us, our ethnic background another. But we are all people facing ups and downs in our lives - some on a harder path than others. We need to stand up to aggression, so that violence and hatred don't become normalised. We need to challenge inequalities in society, for this is another source of division. We need to be gentle with each other and gentle to ourselves. At the end of the day we are all people, and generally we are all still people who care.

The Hot Press Personal French Press
The Hot Press's personal thermoses let you brew your coffee or tea via a french press, then drink from the same container. Designed with a stainless-steel body and vacuum insulation, The Hot Press keeps liquids hot for hours. To use as a french press, simply let coffee grounds or tea leaves steep to your preferred strength and then depress the plunger. A metal filter pushes the grinds or leaves to the bottom and lets your beverage strain through. The soft-touch accents make handling easy—which is particular helpful on cold days or when your fingers are dripping with donut glaze—and add a splash of color. When you've finished brewing, simply click open the thermos top and enjoy.

Anderson Hernandez, Paul Lo Duca and Xavier Nady each stroked three hits, with Lo Duca driving in three runs and Nady batting out of a 1-for-28 slump. Nady said that a pre-game pep talk from Willie Randolph seemed to help, as his level of anxiousness had risen over the dry spell.
Nady still appears to be the front-runner to start in right field on Monday afternoon at Shea Stadium, though challenger Victor Diaz may have closed the gap some. The Mets are still undecided as to whether Diaz will start the year in New York or at Triple-A Norfolk.
The Mets did their early damage against Sidney Ponson, touching the former Oriole for four runs (three earned) and seven hits over four innings, then rudely welcomed former teammate Braden Looper back to Tradition Field.
Looper, who signed with the Cardinals as a free agent after the Mets showed little interest in bringing him back, failed to make it out of the fifth inning and was lifted with two outs. The Mets tagged Looper for two runs and three hits, with two walks and a strikeout.
Jose Lima allowed a run on four hits over two innings as his chances of making the team fade. If sent to Triple-A Norfolk, Lima said he would not report, effectively ending his time with the Mets.
Pedro Feliciano, who has a 4.05 ERA in six spring appearances, is considered to be Oliver's main challenger.
Anna Benson has filed for divorce from husband Kris, claiming their marriage was "irretrievably broken." Many speculate that Anna Benson had a lot to do with prompting the Mets' deal with the Baltimore Orioles for pitchers Jorge Julio and John Maine last winter.
For the record, the Mets always maintained that it was a baseball trade and not related to Anna Benson's outspoken nature or questionable wardrobe choices, such as during the Mets' holiday party when she showed up at Shea Stadium for a role as Mrs. Claus wearing a low-cut red satin dress.
In any event, Anna Benson's behavior and high profile didn't help cement Kris Benson's situation in the starting rotation.

Sculptor and 3d designer
I am impressed by achievements of mankind compared to the fragility of human body and the fragmentation of human mind.
I started sculpture studies 2001 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki and I graduated as Master of Fine Arts (MFA) 2008. At the moment I am interested in combining visual arts to the field of digital technologies in order to elaborate a new artistic language generated by 3d computer software.
With 3d computer software and parametric modeling I can capture human movements, falling water or soundwaves blast to my sculptures. I create installations of meshes, solid sculptures or digital drawings but they all have the same origin. My enthusiastic journey into laws and structures of nature, human spirit and society.

I know, I know, these questions sound abstract. But consider the claim that "all men are created equal." Does this claim mean that all male human persons are created equal to one another because they all have a male human nature? But this understanding of the claim would exclude female human persons, presumably because they do not have a male human nature. Thus the claim that "all men are created equal" should be understood to mean that all human persons have a human nature, which is the basis for human equality.
However, when I was an undergraduate in the 1960s, then-fashionable existentialist thought were fond of saying that there is no such thing as human nature. At that time, anyone who thought that there is such a thing as human nature would not be considered to be fashionable in existentialist intellectual circles at that time.
Post-modernist thought is now more fashionable in academia than existentialist thought. However, like existentialist thought, post-modernist thought tends to eschew the use of the conceptual construct of human nature.
This post-modernist tendency is so pronounced today in academia that Martha C. Nussbaum published an article titled "Human Functioning and Social Justice: In Defense of Aristotelian Essentialism" in the journal POLITICAL THEORY, volume 20, number 2 (May 1992): pages 202-246. As she indicates in her subtitle, Aristotle is usually credited with working with the conceptual construct of the essences of things. For example, the essence of human persons is human nature. As she indicates, if we were to be banned from working with the essences of things such as human nature, we would be severely limited in any argumentation that we might want to advance regarding social justice. In other words, if you want to argue that there are universal human rights, then you should base your argument on the fact that human nature is universal.
Digression. I would like to point out that the way in which Nussbaum goes about defending Aristotelian essentialism involves what she considers to be human functioning. But another Aristotelian philosopher named Bernard Lonergan focuses on a different view of human functioning, namely cognitive capacities and operations, in his masterwork INSIGHT: A STUDY OF HUMAN UNDERSTANDING (1957). Lonergan's follower Frederick E. Crowe spells out the full implication of Lonergan's thought for our understanding of human nature in his fine 1965 essay "Neither Jew nor Greek, but One Human Nature and Operation in all," which is reprinted, slightly revised, in COMMUNICATION AND LONERGAN: COMMON GROUND FOR FORGING THE NEW AGE, edited by me and Paul A. Soukup (Sheed & Ward, 1993, pages 89-107). End of digression.
Now, many Americans today see the issue of same-sex marriage as a social justice issue. If men and women both have a human nature, why should it make any difference in civil law if marriage is operationally defined as being between one man and one woman, or as being between one man and another man, or as being between one woman and another woman?
However, during his annual Christmas address on December 21st, Pope Benedict XVI argued that civil marriage should be operationally defined as being between one man and one woman.
Pope Benedict has been quoted in news reports as saying, "People dispute the idea that they have a nature, given them by their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being."
As mentioned, existentialist thinkers and post-modernist thinkers may dispute the idea that they have a nature. But Nussbaum does not dispute this claim. So why doesn't Pope Benedict agree with Nussbaum in favoring same-sex marriage as a civil right?
In his 2012 Christmas address, Pope Benedict also referred to man and woman as a "duality" (his term).
But does this duality mean that there is a male human nature and a female human nature?
I don't think so. I think that the stereotypical duality of man and woman is best understood as two enduring aspects of human nature, both of which are in both male human persons and female human persons.
In his book THE DUALITY OF HUMAN EXISTENCE: AN ESSAY ON PSYCHOLOGY AND RELIGION (1966), David Bakan of the
However, when Pope Benedict speaks of the duality of man and woman, he seems to be assigning agency to male human persons alone and communion to female human persons alone.
In conclusion, Pope Benedict XVI is not preaching social justice regarding same-sex marriage in civil law, but social injustice.

It's an oddly analogue celebration of a digital master, but the U.S. Postal Service has approved a new stamp featuring the likeness of late Apple founder Steve Jobs.
A leaked document obtained by The Washington Post shows that the stamp is currently "in design development" but is slated to be released in 2015.
Jobs, who died on 5 October 2011, will join a number of other deceased American icons including Elvis Presley, Fats Waller and Michael Jackson. The creator of the iPod and iPhone will be the only technology related figure on the list - although "video games" are also listed as an abstract possibility.
The designs of American stamps are chose by the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, a body that selects subjects that are "contemporary, timely, relevant, interesting and educational".
And for Apple fans in the UK who want to embrace snail mail in honour of Jobs the Royal Mail offers 'Smiler' stamps featuring a custom image. The website suggests that the personalised stamps might be saved for featuring loved ones, but for some Apple fans, Jobs will certainly come into that category.Reuse content

Food banks are surprisingly controversial things, mainly because in recent times they've become politicised. Critics say they have rapidly grown in number because of the coalition's benefit cutbacks. But for the people who use them, that's irrelevant. They are a godsend that helps them through a difficult patch.
These aren't folk who regularly turn to handouts, as far as I know, but those that have reached a crisis. And that could be for any number of reasons. Maybe they've lost their job, or have had to splash out on a domestic emergency.
Whatever the reason, the food banks can help them get through a rough time. But recognising that people who turn to food banks are likely to be facing a financial crisis, the Trussell Trust charity is launching a scheme next month to give these struggling people instant financial help.
It plans to link with debt charities to give people in need financial advice and money management as well as emergency food when they turn to food banks.
The idea strikes me as a great one. It's got the backing of Martin Lewis, of the MoneySavingExpert website, who has donated some of his own cash to help fund next month's pilot scheme. He said: "The hope is that this scheme will provide a financial equivalent of 'give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime'."
If it works, the scheme could prove life-changing for those in financial straits. One of the problems in getting help to financially vulnerable people is finding them and getting them to admit they need help.
I suspect anyone who turns to food banks to feed themselves is ready to admit they do need help, and I'd hope they would welcome it.
David McAuley the chief executive of the Trussell Trust, said: "It's deeply concerning that the basics of dignified life in modern Britain – food, heat and electricity – can fall out of reach for so many."
I agree and hope that schemes such is this can help change that.

In a nutshell
Environment attorneys advise companies on federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to public health, welfare and the environment. The type of conduct that is regulated includes industrial activity, the development of natural resources, the use of land and everyday activities like driving a car. BigLaw attorneys primarily defend companies that are subject to these laws and regulations.
The laws attorneys work with will depend on the environmental medium: for example, air, water, waste and natural/cultural/historical resources (this touches on historical preservation, land use and endangered species) all have their own statutes and programs. The Clean Air Act – "one of the most complex pieces of legislation on the books," according to Hunton & Williams partner Bill Brownell – is one example.
The types of proceedings handled by environmental lawyers are also varied. Administrative agency work involves dealing with agencies. In federal government, that includes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Department of Agriculture (DOA), the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Legislative work involves working with Congress and advising companies on federal legislation and lobbying.
"An environmental lawyer will practice before Congress, administrative agencies, federal and state courts, and international tribunals and organizations. The practice of environmental law also involves politically controversial subjects that one reads about in the papers every day." — Hunton & Williams partner Bill Brownell
What lawyers do
- "I tell students that the practice of environmental law touches on everything a lawyer can do. An environmental lawyer will practice before Congress, administrative agencies, federal and state courts, and international tribunals and organizations. The practice of environmental law also involves politically controversial subjects that one reads about in the papers every day," says Hunton's Brownell.
- He adds: "When a statute or law is changed it initiates a process that can last for years, from lobbying legislators, to working with agencies that develop rules, to challenging or defending those rules in court, to seeking permits and licenses under those rules, to defending clients in enforcement proceedings."
Realities of the job
- The laws and regulations have become increasingly complicated over the years. Thus, much of what environmental lawyers do on a daily basis is to "make sure that clients understand all the rules to which they are subject and work with them to ensure they are complying with those rules," says Hunton & Williams partner Andrea Field.
- "Often, the first time a client realizes that there's a problem is when the EPA starts an enforcement action, charging the client with breaking federal law." Because the laws are often unclear, "it is the attorney's job to determine if legitimate arguments can be made that, in fact, the client has not violated the law. And if there are violations, then it is the lawyer's job to negotiate a reasonable – and, if possible, nonpunitive – way for the client to come into compliance."
- This field of law is "constantly changing," according to Field. "International tribunals, Congress and state legislatures enact complicated laws. That prompts regulators to adopt complicated rules and issue guidance to implement the laws." And then there are the advocacy groups, which can "file lawsuits and do other things to try to push regulators into taking (or not taking) additional actions." Staying abreast of all such changes "necessarily keeps practitioners on their toes."
- The legislation is sometimes politically motivated, so environmental lawyers can end up wading into controversies among different branches of government. "And just as you start getting a handle on a program, there is a national or state election, and that ushers in new legislators and new regulators, which restarts the cycle of change," says Field. But the changing players and changing requirements make things interesting. "As an environmental lawyer, I not only deal with nuts-and-bolts factual and legal issues – I also get to argue important issues of administrative and constitutional law."
"Day to day we might be involved in rulemaking, consulting with clients or defending an enforcement action, but in each of those contexts we are essentially engaging in the larger debate about how to use the world's resources in a responsible way." — Robert Wyman, Latham & Watkins
- "Practicing environmental law requires an aptitude for sophisticated legal analysis, an aptitude for simplifying complex issues, and an ability for written and oral advocacy," Bill Brownell says. Andrea Field adds: "And just like full-time litigators, you have to roll up your sleeves and become fully familiar with the facts in your cases. Tempting as it may be to delegate doc review to others, you have to stay involved because you have to know the facts." A lot of reading case law and doc review can be involved. And there can be a lot of documents.
- Robert Wyman, partner and environment don at Latham & Watkins, says: "Almost everything one does touches on an important area of public policy. Most environmental law practitioners find the job personally rewarding because they have strong views about how environmental risk should be addressed. The practice of law can become routine, but if you're passionate then it never gets old."
- Wyman adds: "Day to day we might be involved in rulemaking, consulting with clients or defending an enforcement action, but in each of those contexts we are essentially engaging in the larger debate about how to use the world's resources in a responsible way."
- Betty Moy Huber, co-head of the environmental group at Davis Polk, says: "An environmental lawyer must have solid communication skills. Even at the most junior level you'll be analyzing very complex environmental issues or laws and having to explain these in plain English to a senior lawyer or a client in a very clear and crisp manner."
- She adds: "You become part of the client's team. They depend on you and often there's a real feeling of camaraderie. This is very rewarding, but the responsibility also creates pressure."
Current issues
- The political debate surrounding climate change has led to increasingly complex legislative proposals and regulation. "Environmental lawyers will be busy in the next few years preparing clients for possible legislative and regulatory changes," says Betty Moy Huber of Davis Polk.
- In 2013, President Barack Obama outlined a new national action plan centered on climate change. This included steps to reduce carbon pollution and ensure communities are fully prepared for the effects of climate change – like increased storms, droughts and wildfires.
- The same year, the Natural Resources Defense Council – an environmental group that has had a strong influence on Obama's climate change agenda – recently suggested changes that could lead to even steeper reductions in carbon pollution than those outlined by the President.
- The government has begun to put forth measures to combat global warming, but without the need for legislation from Congress. As an example, it recently announced plans to start cutting emissions of methane as a means of addressing climate change.
- Climate change (and the environment generally) may be a top priority for the government, but it doesn't seem to be as high on the list of concerns for the US public. According to a poll by research company Gallup, only 24% of those who participated worried about climate change 'a great deal'. Similarly, a mere 31% worried a great deal about the quality of the environment. Both were near the bottom of the list, with race relations the only issue to have been ranked lower.
- In August 2015, President Obama established the Clean Power Plan – the first-ever carbon pollution standards for existing power plants. However, in February 2016 the Supreme Court voted to block the plan and debates about its implementation are ongoing.
- After two weeks of talks in Paris in late 2015, world leaders came to an agreement governing greenhouse gases, emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance from 2020. Conference head Laurent Fabius, France's foreign minister, said this 'ambitious and balanced' plan was a 'historic turning point' in the goal of reducing global warming. At the time of writing, the Paris Agreement has yet to be adopted.
- In 2014, the California Legislature passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, a statute designed to create comprehensive sustainable management of groundwater. While the legislation conferred oversight authority to government bodies, primary implementation rests with local groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs). At the beginning of 2016 the GSAs began implementing legislation to improve California's groundwater supplies. There has been support for GSAs in Berkeley and Stanford law journals as well as in state legislatures further afield and one hopes they will succeed in their endeavors.
- Contaminated water supplies due to aging pipes in Flint, Michigan led to the exposure of between 6,000 and 12,000 children to drinking water with high levels of lead. The children may experience a range of serious health problems as a result of the exposure. In response to the crisis, on January 5th 2016, the city was declared to be in a state of emergency by the Governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, before President Obama declared it as a federal state of emergency. The Flint water crisis has become a big issue among the nominees for the 2016 Presidential election candidacies.
- "Economics can have a large effect on how you handle specific environmental matters. A client may start off wanting to litigate every conceivable issue in an enforcement case, but the cost of doing that – and the animosity that can create in dealing with regulators with whom the client might need to do business – usually prompts clients to try to find a reasonable middle ground to resolve cases," Andrea Field says. A down economy is therefore likely to lead to more cases settling out of court in this area.

Texans O'Brien keeping a swear jar
The Houston Texans foray into the behind-the-scenes drama of the HBO series "Hard Knocks" has brought people inside the world of the team's second-year head coach Bill O'Brien.
The show has clearly shown his human side, either through a heartfelt conversation with tackle David Quessenberry as he tries to return from non-Hodgkin lymphoma or with his nearly falling out of chair laughing as rookie tight end Khari Lee delivered a spot-on impression of him during the rookie "skits."
But the overwhelming theme of the program has been the coach's foul mouth. He was aware of how he might be portrayed before the show began.
Before the first episode was aired, the coach and some of the Texans management team had a chance to watch the show.
"I called my parents and I asked them not to watch it - especially my mother," O'Brien said.
"She's Irish Catholic and she goes to mass I think every day. She's not going to be very happy with me."
It's a theme that has continued throughout the series and on Tuesday at the annual team luncheon, O'Brien explained his foul mouth is going to be a good thing for charity.
"I would tell you I don't swear that much. I'm not sure how they feed these swears into these programs.
"It's really gotten my dander up," he deadpanned.
Then he brought out a prop to show the crowd - a container full of money.
"We're going to call this the swear jar," he explained. "The Houston Texans Foundation will be happy to know that I will be making a personal donation to account for all of the swearing during "Hard Knocks.""
"There's only four days left and I'm gonna real try and watch my tongue and not swear," he added.

Nearly a day after the fact, we still can't even begin to comprehend the fact that Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb didn't know that an NFL game could end in a tie.
We mention it again because our SportingNews.com Ten-Pack addresses the potential consequences of McNabb's admission.
And the one thing we keep coming back to is this: If he didn't know that, what else doesn't he know?
We also mention the McNabb thing again because Taco Bill (an Eagles fan) has put together not one but two Pics of the Day to commemorate the event.
This one illustrates the marketing potential that arises from the situation; this one offers a glimpse from the vicinity of McNabb's fireplace on December 25.
Nearly a day after the fact, we still can't even begin to comprehend the fact that Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb didn't know that an NFL game could end in a tie.

i think you guys are making too big a deal about mcnabb not knowing about ties.
clangille says: Nov 17, 2008 1:07 PM
He should've know the rule, but you know damn well he wasn't the only one who didn't know it. Tie's don't happen enough for people to know that rule. The outcome of the game wasn't effected by him not knowing the rule, so why do you care? We should've had the game in the bag in the first half.
jjcruiser says: Nov 17, 2008 1:11 PM
Love the pics.
TransplantedFan says: Nov 17, 2008 1:15 PM
While I'm embarrassed and pissed that McNabb made that comment, I want to know why no one is asking what responsibility Andy Reid has in imparting to his team the stakes of a situation. Did Reid never mention to his players "we need this or else we tie"? I mean, its not like McNabb didn't have a ton of time to spend on the sidelines talking with Reid or Morningwheg about what was going on in the game given how many bad drives the Eagles had.
Is what McNabb said completely stupid and an embarrassment for all Eagles fans? You betcha.
But the real question is what in the hell are the coaches doing if their players don't know what they are playing for? I'm a big McNabb fan and to hear him say what he said hurts because I have defended him for years. But, while McNabb was a problem in Cincy, he wasn't the only problem.
LoneRhino says: Nov 17, 2008 1:19 PM
He's hardly the only person in the world who didn't (or still doesn't) know a game could end in a tie. There's a poll on Dan Patrick's SI blog asking this question, and 22% of the voters say they didn't know a game could end in a tie. There's alot of stupid people out there – it just so happens that one of them plays QB for the team that tied the game yesterday…
BFPA says: Nov 17, 2008 1:21 PM
In the overall scheme of things, McNabb not knowing about ties amounts to nothing.
It is damn funny though 😛
The Eagles are a team in meltdown, lacking in heart and leadership. I wonder how much longer the Reid era lasts…
Tex Big Balls says: Nov 17, 2008 1:22 PM
I can even understand Disco Donnie not being mentally sharp and "forgetting" about the rule….i can possibly understand this. Ties are very uncommon.
What completely baffles me is him getting up in front of a podium and admitting it.
Keep that kind of info close to the heart.
headache_41 says: Nov 17, 2008 1:25 PM
The Eagles can't run the ball this year. There are a lot of reasons that's failing.
So when McNabb lays an egg like he did on Sunday… well, you end up tying the Bengals.
Bill In DC says: Nov 17, 2008 1:26 PM
My question is how come this guy is down on one knee in the 4th sucking wind?
Does he not work out?
brauneyz says: Nov 17, 2008 1:29 PM
I didn't watch the game so I can't comment on whether McNabb knowing the rule would have affected THIS game, but theoretically, it is possible. If OT is ticking down and the QB thinks, "OK, I'll get a shot in the 2nd OT period", I'd say that's a pretty SIGNIFICANT misunderstanding. Kinda fits right in that category of game management, no?
Yikes, fire Andy Reid already. He's wasting the talent around him.
mafleish says: Nov 17, 2008 1:31 PM
Not to play devil's advocate here, but apparently a lot of players in the game didn't know that it would be a tie…
…Also, why is it a season killing tie? The Eagles are .5 games out of the Wild Card behind the 6-4 Cowboys/Redskins/Falcons.

If he didn't know it could end in a tie… he wouldn't have been throwing a hail mary at the end of the OT…
milehiclown says: Nov 17, 2008 1:48 PM
Classic Florio deflection: "Many assumed, after a three-game free-fall that dropped them to 4-4, that the Denver Broncos eventually would fall apart and miss the playoffs."
UMMMmmm, yeah. That "Many" is YOU Florio (and the Bolts fans…and more than a few Broncos fans).
You have the pulpit, you promote it. Just say it: "I LOVE TO HATE THE BRONCOS AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE DONE."
We know it. Just own it.
Go Bolts! The Refs screwed ya again! Oh, wait.
sasquatchbudman says: Nov 17, 2008 1:52 PM
Andy Reid and Donovan both need to get out of town. The good times are over and clearly they were a product of a weak division and conference. Both people are stupid. Neither can think on there feet which is something you have to do in the NFL. The Eagles need to bring in a new coaching staff. They need a more balanced attack to atleast give the defense a breather. Lurie won't Fire Reid because hes the "Best coach the team has ever had". Reid has to be the luckiest coach of all time. He came around at the right time, when guys like Fassel, Campo and Spurrier were across the feild. The NFC is much stronger now then during the Eagles little sorta run. Lets go Phillies!

Simdogga77 says: Nov 17, 2008 1:53 PM
He had to be joking, right?
I mean he even said he couldn't imagine what would happen in the playoff's or the Super Bowl.?.?.? (Guess he doesn't know that there can't be ties in playoff's or Super Bowl.)
aj says: Nov 17, 2008 2:05 PM
Vince Young thinks that's messed up.
CT Stiller says: Nov 17, 2008 2:08 PM
chumpslacks – I was actually going to post a similar comment to yours, only sarcastically. You beat me to it only I think you're being serious.
Can we stop calling everyone who criticizes a black person a racist please? There are a lot of black people in the NFL, so there's going to be some criticism of them at some point.
Sheesh, I thought we were past this crap.
By the way, if you were being sarcastic then disregard the above.
thestan says: Nov 17, 2008 2:16 PM
This entire situation speaks to the MAJOR issues this team has –
It's the coaching staff's responsibility to make all the players aware of the stakes – ie, score or our season is over / score or we tie – etc
As to those who want to run Mcnabb out of town – good luck developing a QB- remember how long it took w #5??? Something with this team needs to change ASAP – my guess is it's see you later Andy – that might also mean see you later #5…but if that's what it takes –
Remember a few months ago – We are going for it this year… what a fu@king joke – CH CH CH CH CHANGES….TIME TO FACE THE CHANGE…
Lars Thorwald says: Nov 17, 2008 2:25 PM
So what's dumber?
Not knowing the rules of a game you make your living playing?
Or going on TV and admitting it?

"There's a poll on Dan Patrick's SI blog asking this question, and 22% of the voters say they didn't know a game could end in a tie."
But of those 22% how many of them actually play football professionally?
BFPA says: Nov 17, 2008 2:28 PM
If McNabb had known the tie rule, it would have made no difference to this game. There were 8 seconds on the clock, and the Eagles got the ball on their own 25-ish, IIRC. Whether you think there is another OT coming or not, you throw a hail mary there.

No wonder TO crapped his pants after Philly lost the superbowl, Mcnabb thought they had another quarter to play?
yesyesyall says: Nov 17, 2008 2:39 PM
i think he knew about ties. why did he go for the hail mary at the end if he knew they would have another OT period?
Doohickey says: Nov 17, 2008 2:41 PM
Florio, why are you still using your high school yearbook picture with your Sporting News byline?
jeff7923 says: Nov 17, 2008 2:46 PM
Could you imagine the coverage this story would be getting if T.O. said this after a game? Once again ESPN isn't going to blow this story up, because Donovan is their boy. The guy is a complete idiot and has always said some weird and stupid things. I can't stand the guy, because I think he is fake as hell, but I am loving this team imploding right now. Do you think ESPN will talk about the Eagles implosion as much as the Cowboys implosion the last couple of weeks? Hell no, Andy Reid is their boy too and they would't dare mess with a nice guy. Once again F*CK YOU ESPN!
pigskinny says: Nov 17, 2008 2:56 PM
I guess someone owes Rush Limbaugh an apology.
Bronkko says: Nov 17, 2008 3:01 PM
McNabb/Palin 2012.. or would it be Palin/McNabb?
MinnesnowtaVikes says: Nov 17, 2008 3:03 PM
wow, Florio you are making way to big a deal out of this. I'm pretty sure no one else really cares that much. how about instead of dwelling on the McNabb comment you focus on more game related material such as how the Eagles couldn't beat the Bengals in regulation.
also, I think the ESPN bashing is hilarious. We all know 99% of those that bash ESPN watch sportscenter nightly…
wishlish says: Nov 17, 2008 3:18 PM
The big problem with the Eagles yesterday wasn't McNabb's "tie" knowledge. It's that the Eagles didn't know how to convert on 3rd and short. I still can't fathom how the biggest O-line in the NFL is failing on short yardage situations. I know we're missing Shawn Andrews, but there's no excuse for failing to convert multiple times in this situation. The offense seems to panic when faced with 3rd and 1, as if they're all saying, "Here we go again." It was pathetic.
The offense wasted a GREAT effort by the defense yesterday. Cincy might be a terrible team, but their coaching staff seemed to do a great job of getting that team fired up to play.
empty13 says: Nov 17, 2008 3:19 PM
yes mcnabb is a media-made product?
regarding the play call, reid does that. mcnabb just carries out the play call…
wydok says: Nov 17, 2008 3:27 PM
McNabb is being made into a scapegoat. Getting rid of him ONLY will not fix the Eagles. The coaching staff needs to change.

I am starting to get frustrated with the passive racism on this website.
It's not racism, it's simply Florio beating to death yet another story. If you think he's racist and only writes negatively about black players, the question I have for you is….did you read any of the 2,000+ posts between March 2008 and September 2008 about Brett Favre?

theUnderboss118 says: Nov 17, 2008 11:38 PM
McNabb has been hired and trusted to lead that organization's offense. He's being paid what amounts to more than $1 million every time he puts on his Eagles jersey The least he can do is know the rules, especially a rule that every football fan knows. Yes, true fans know that rule as rarely as it happens. Yes, it does affect the outcome of the game…how can it not when McNabb is thinking he has another quarter to win the game, thus he has less sense of urgency to score in the overtime period. It's a joke that he doesn't know the rule, and Eagles fans should be outraged!
