LOL, I wish I could remember it was 44 years ago.... so it must have been airfix plastics and probably some WW2 stuff, I'd like to think it was the Romans though - 44 years and still painting plastic Romans :)

Let's break this down into two parts:
1. The first model you painted. How did it turn out?
2. The first wargaming/roleplaying miniatuire you painted. How did that turn out?
It was back in the 80s. I was playing roleplaying games and doing miniature collecting on the side. I bought my first models on a visit to London - they were from prince August. The first model I painted was the male Halfling model (seen here), the success was - questionable, as I just took thick undilluted primary colours (don't know the brand anymore) - one layer, no highlights or shading
The first wargaming model I painted was half a decade later - one of a lot of 15mm Greek Hoplites from the Historical Heroes Range (seen here). I had learned a lot at that time and used a much softer colour composition, though nothing too fancy due to the scale.
Sadly I managed to give away all of my models during the late 90s, so I had to restart my collection a couple of years ago. The first painted model of the new batch can be seen here - but I quickly learned to put more emphasize into it (second try seen here). Still not an artist, but well, these are 15mm
it was an old lead AD&D figure, a barbaian of some sort holding a sword over his head one hand on the hilt one on the blade, odd thing was his cape seemd to be tangled up with his hand and was actually being held up with the sword... odd pose, but i painted him because it was the only figure i had to represent my character and i was very keen to play D&D with my pals.
i used several differant types of paint some rather dodgy brushes and in the end it looked like i had dripped paint infront of an electric fan while holding the figure up in front of it.
Hmm. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then, so it's hard to rmember. I suspect that the first 'real' (as opposed to soft plastic) figure I painted was probably either a Hinchliffe 25mm Napoleonic figure of some sort, or one of Airfix's 54mm hard plastic kits - 10th Hussar or another from that range.
Always liked Napoleonics - still do - just don't have the time or patience to 'do' Napoleonics, other than in 6mm.
My first miniature was not that long ago. Only 12 years ago and when I bought a single spacemarine terminator with assault cannon.
I dont know what was thicker, the terminator armour or my paint.
I havent used anyother paints since i started with GW paints. I now, however, water them down by about 40% - 50%.
In the 70s. WWII Germans 1:72 by Matchbox. Then Afrikakorps 1:72 by Airfix, followed by French Foreign Legion and finally Romans!
Didn't look too great since I used Enamel Paints and a fairly big brush. But certainly better than my mate's who didn't paint his 8th Army at all..hehe.
Glory Days...
My first painted model was an Airfix 1/32 scale Afrika Korps in the kneeling and firing pose. He got a liberal coating of Humbrol Silver Fox. I was 5 years old and it's my earliest memory - sat in our garage in Wollaton with a big apron on and newspaper laid over an old desk.
The first wargames model I painted was for roleplaying. From a dungy old shop in Nottingham called Asgard. Dingy, dusty and ark but an absolute treasure trove for a young Sawyer.
I picked up a handful of Ral Partha Orcs. Really nice figures which I didn't dare paint. Then I found White Dwarf (little did I know what that would have in store for me later!) I picked up issue 16 and devoured it (not literally on this occasion!).
Within the pages of the 2-3 issues I bought there was talk of a process to paint realistic armour. I was hooked. I burnished the armour with a soft wire brush, painted it liberally with blue/black oil paint and left it for a couple of houirs as per the article. Then with a lintg free cloth I rubbed the excess off. It was a kind of reverese drybrushing but gave bloody great results. Since then the modelling and painting side of the hobby has held me in its warm embrace...
Ah, happy days...
My first paint try was a airfix 1/72 centurio.
My first wargames model was a front rank miniature prussian SYW grenadier.
at the tender age of 10 years old i painted a plastic khorne berserker in walsall games workshop. i had no idea what it was, that it could be used in a game or why i was painting it. it looked like i'd dropped it into a bucket of multicoloured emulsion. nearly 14 years later my skills have narrowly improved but i must have enjoyed myself back then or i wouldnt be here now.

2007+ Mustang & buying tires with your wheels? Click for Important TPMS Info.
CF10 - Sporty European Design. Add refined European inspired styling to your Mustang with a set of Forgestar CF10 wheels. The CF10 wheel has a sporty ten spoke design that features a slight concave face making it the perfect wheel for your modern Mustang.
Rotary Forged. Forgestar uses a unique Rotary Forged Flowforming process that both lightens and strengthens the wheel. The process starts with a low pressure aluminum casting that is set in a special machine that spins and heats the outer barrel of the wheel, then steel rollers press against the barrel to pull the rim into its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning creates a barrel with the strength similar to that of a forged wheel.
Textured Matte Black Finish. Matte Black out your Pony's wheels for a sick stealthy effect that everyone will be envious of. These matte black Forgestar wheels feature a durable powder coated "textured" finish to protect against the hazards of road chips and pitting, you also get the added benefit of never noticing brake dust. The finish is matte and textured for increased durability on these sleek Forgestar wheels.
Application. This Forgestar CF10 Wheel fits the front or rear of all 2005 to 2014 Mustangs, including the V6, GT, Bullitt and Shelby GT500 models. Stagger with a 19x10 wheel on the rear for an aggressive muscle car stance and improved traction.
Note: Priced per wheel.
Note: Requires either tuner lug nuts or 6-spline style lug nuts
Note: The stock lug nuts (13/16) prove to be too large when used in conjunction with these wheels. Please take a look at the Lug Nut Ordering Options above for some compatible options.

USC simplified its offense Thursday and freshman quarterback Max Browne flourished following a rough performance earlier in the week.
Browne did not have any interceptions after he threw two Tuesday to freshman safety Su'a Cravens.
"It was probably my best day here," Browne said. "They slowed it down and didn't install as much. Today, I was the most comfortable."
Browne said he still missed his wide receivers on some deep passes but was encouraged after scrambling to perform well Tuesday.
"For my mindset, the more (snaps) I get, the more comfortable I feel," he said.
With presumed No. 1 quarterback Max Wittek out with a sprained knee, sophomore Cody Kessler was the clear-cut top quarterback during practice. The 6-foot-1 Kessler does not fit the same mold of the 6-5 Browne or 6-4 Wittek, but he is not intimidated by their size or arm strength.
"It sounds corny, but they can measure you height or measure your weight but they can't measure your heart," Kessler said.
Neither Kessler nor Browne threw an interception during Thursday's practice.
"It was a much better practice for the offense," USC coach Lane Kiffin said.
Wittek said he felt better and wanted to at least participate in passing drills Saturday.
"The swelling's gone down, so at the very least I'll push for 7 on 7 (passing drills)," Wittek said.
Kiffin was more cautious and said he expects Wittek back in two weeks because USC is off next week for spring break. Kiffin also wants wide receiver Marqise Lee, who hurt his knee last weekend, to return after spring break.
Spring stars
Kiffin praised tight end Xavier Grimble and linebacker Lamar Dawson for their performances.
"Xavier Grimble is potentially a great player," Kiffin said. "Lamar's had five great practices."
Another player drawing attention was freshman wide receiver Darreus Rogers, who is built different than most of the other receivers because of his size (6-2, 195 pounds).
"He had an unbelievable day," Kiffin said. "He had a reverse (run) and a number of big catches. He's really picking it up."
Injury report
Wide receiver George Farmer injured his knee, the latest setback in a string of injuries he's experienced the past two years. Kiffin said he did not know how long Farmer would be out.
Farmer has battled sophomore Nelson Agholor, senior De'von Flournoy, Rogers and sophomore Victor Blackwell for the starting spot opposite Lee.
Tailback Silas Redd (knee), offensive lineman Chad Wheeler (knee) and cornerback Kevon Seymour (ankle) also missed practice.
USC returns to practice Saturday at the Coliseum. It is closed to the public.
Coaching staff shifts
Because USC has six offensive assistant coaches and only three defensive assistants, Kiffin said he will put three part-time assistants with the defense, one on special teams and none with the offense.

Wuyi Ensemble
Oolong tea from the Wuyi mountains in the Fujian province of China. Wuyi Oolong grows defiantly in the gaps of the mountainous rock, rendering cultivation both arduous and spell-bindingly beautiful. This tea is famous for its 'dragonfly's head, frog's limbs and three colors.' The latter refers to the green, red and brown colors found in the cross-section of each leaf. Similar to other fine oolong teas, the 'Wuyi Ensemble' may be infused a number of times, with each infusion revealing a new nuance of this tea's complex flavor.

Like this. Person one: The person below will answer this question. Person two: True. The person below likes fish. Person three: False. The person below is a Star Wars geek. And so on. I'll start. The person below has a caffeine addiction. -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldnt be here if stars hadnt exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - werent created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

ghg THE LOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 69, NO. 16 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 February 8, 1991 SGA slashes group allocations By Charles Lussier and Courtney Sullivan Staff writers When Scott Laragy, communications senior and junior congressperson at large, walked up to the chalkboard in the SGA office in the lower Danna Center Lounge and scribbled "All or nothing," Saturday morning, he said it all. The Student Government Association Ways and Means Committee soon fulfilled their blackboard promise as over $85,000 was slashed from original funding requests by 40 Loyola student organ izationsatSGA's semesterly budget allocation meeting Saturday. Original requests totaled $134,339, up from last semester's total of $72,903. The SGA only funded $49,000 worth of these requests. David Vandcrsand, management and marketing senior and SGA president, discussed the proposed budget at the SGA congress meeting Tuesday. He said the suggested allocations were the most the SGA has ever given out to organizations. Unallocated funds from last semester allowed the committee to give out more money, he said. Although no organizations were completely rejected, no organizations were left untouched. "There are no sacred cows, only lambs to slaughter," Vandersand said. Before the group began to debate over which projects to fund, Vandersand said: "Sometimes we have to say all or nothing." In the past SGA was too cowardly to completely cut some projects, Vandersand said. They allocated only part of the requested money for the projects which made for unsuccessful programs, he said. "My one big final concern are social Greek organizations," Vandersand said. The national and regional conferences Greeks attend to learn organizational and leadership skills do not necessarily serve the Loyola community, he said. Although the conferences benefit the groups, Vandersand suggested that the SGA limit funding to only two persons per conference. Greek organizations were not the only groups affected by the two person rule. The SGA limited all groups' conference funding to two members, except for the Loyola Advertising Club and the Moot Court which required more than two members to attend. Suggested allocations drastically reduced the funds for the University Programming Board, the Sailing Club and the Panhellenic Council. The UPB originally requested over $19,000 and was cut over the course of three rounds to $3,500. When the UPB's turn came up, Patrick Professor Griff raps of color, controversy By Michael Wilson Staff writer Professor Griff, lead singer of the rap group The Last Asiatic Disciples, lashed out against the "state of the black race," and implored Loyola's black students to put their education "back into the black community" at a University Programming Board-sponsored lecture Tuesday afternoon. "What's wrong with black people teaching black people?" he asked the approximately 130 students, both black and white, present in the Audubon room. However, in the course of the 90-minute unwritten speech he also denied the validity of the Immaculate Conception. "You mean to tell me that Mary was walking by the church, and she had her miniskirt on that day, and she had on some extensions, and green contact lenses, and something just rushed out, slammed her to the ground, and got her pregnant? N0... Joseph got Mary pregnant.. ..She didn't just 'get' pregnant," he said. He made this remark while questioning the color of Jesus, who he claims "was not a white man." Vincent Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs, ruled in 1989 that all speakers sponsored by departments under Student Affairs must consent to having "the olher side presented," especially when the of the Catholic Church. There were no alternate speakers present Tuesday. The UPB paid $6,500 for the controversial speaker, who was thrown out of the rap group Public Enemy in July, 1989. Griff's anti-Semitic remarks during a May 22 interview with Washington Times reporter David Mills led to his dismissal from the band. This fee included the lecture and a rap concert in the Wolf Pub Tuesday night, Robert Hepler, adviser to the UPB, said. The Issues and Ideas, Performing Arts and Contemporary Sounds committees funded Griff's visit to Loyola, Hepler said. Roslyn L. Robertson, communications senior, spearheaded the effort to get Griff to speak and perform at Loyola, Hepler and Mark Conrey, Business Administration graduate student and UPB president, said. One of the most difficult parts of this task was negotiating Griff's standard fee for such visits, which is $12,500, Hepler Robertson also convinced UPB last fall that Griff "would be of some good to the Loyola students," he said. She presented literature concerning the content of similar lectures at Columbia University, University of South Florida and Howard University, he said. The lecture was scheduled to coincide with Black History Month, a program I Griff attacked. hy would you let the 'United Snakes erica' give you a month when you idy 365 days of black history?" he Causin'a stir— Controversial rapper Professor Griff performs Wednesday night injhe Wolf Pub./ Photo by Meg Ballanl See SGA/page 5 See Griff/page 5 L ■

Cellar/Tasting Notes "... the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, ratchets up the level of succulence, juiciness, and opulence. It is a fabulous, compelling effort of multiple dimensions.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is unusually elegant in 2010 with its refined nose of raspberry and earth though there are background notes of grilled meat and smoke.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This estate's staff believes that the 1996 Mouton-Rothschild is very complex.

Please note that L'Enfance Rouge's lead singer, Francois R. Cambuzat, will be playing as L'Enfant Rouge.
Freedom was theirs—you could literally hear it. French-Italian avant-rock trio L'Enfance Rouge (which means 'The Red Childhood' in English) listened intently to those lyrics of liberation, shouted out by their Tunisian collaborators and friends. The post-revolutionary era was only two months old upon Rouge's arrival in the capital of Tunis last year, and the expats eagerly soaked up songs of the Arab Spring.

When Bob Aldrich handed me his business card identifying him as an ordained minister that performs beach weddings, I froze; when he added, "I've done about 42 weddings for Beach Wedding Services this year," I reached for my nitroglycerin tablets;
Had Nancy, under the ruse of an interview, set me up to renew our vows? Naw, I told self; we're not at the beach and every person she knows isn't here; Safe for now.
Born in Bridgeport, Conn., raised in Stratford, Conn.., Bob was eight when his father died; "Dad was in the sales business, for himself, he initiated a tool company making tools for the airline industry, and he was in processed rubber; gaskets, seals, belts … and marble-ette, the first form of plastic, so he was pretty busy; he was at the peak of his business career when he passed away."
When asked if he and his siblings, Mary Jane and Vern, got into mischief, Bob's reply demonstrated their grasp of their father's work ethic; "We were too busy working to get in trouble; I started cutting lawns when I was 11, when I was in high school, I managed a Sunoco Gas Station in Stratford, Connecticut and had three fellows in their 40's working for me; I was 19 when I convinced the president of the Bridgeport Gas Company to hire me to sell appliances, the next salesman, age wise, was 46," he continued.

SMF Support > YaBB/YaBB SE
Converting Posts
Hi... just wondering if the converter from YaBBSE to SMF will convert any old [bbc] tags to new ones...
more specifically, will it convert:
--- Code: ---;D
--- End code ---
(from YaBBSE) into :D (for SMF)
--- Code: ---:D
--- End code ---
into :D as well...
and if so.. will
--- Code: ---;)
--- End code ---
be converted into ;) or ;D
the main thing is that
--- Code: ---;D
--- End code ---
is a big smile, not a winking smile in YaBBSE.
(perhaps the converter can ask the admin what they want ;)???)
It will leave those unparsed.... so, in the post data it will still show up as ";)" and then the smilie parser will parse it accordingly.
so, basically that would mean that where people intended for a :D smilie to appear, a ;D smilie will appear... (I knew they would be unparsed... I mean have the converter change all '; D' in posts to ': D' (without the space) so that a smilie that looks the same is used.)
Looks like a small script I'll have to write myself ;)
Thanx for the quick reply.
Oh no, these smilies aren't planned to be used in the distribution.
:'( Whaaaaaaaaa! Why not?

Mastertronic hopes to appeal to wider audience with new Indie label
Mastertronic Group has launched a new label for indie titles called Great Indie Games and the first game to make the cut is World of Goo, slated for a July release.
Great Indie Games will bring independent games to retail to gain a wider audience than just through digital distribution, where most indie titles are offered.
"We are on the look out for more indie developed games, so any developers who want their game sold at retail should get in touch with us," said Mastertronic's managing director Andy Payne.
"With the many and varied PC games offerings out there, casual or otherwise, there is a place for great games that have been produced on a lower budget than normal by small development teams."
Other games are to be announced at a later date.

Chicken Parmigiana | Pollo alla Parmigiana

Golden pieces of lightly breaded chicken breast are baked in a homemade tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese.
Comments: 74 | Views: 47706 | Success: 94% |
it's father's day after all and this is my husband's favorite dish, which of course I hate. So I let him know years ago after he made it for me for the first time, if he wanted Parmesan chicken, like ever, he'll have to get it at a restaurant.
How amazingly simple and quick was his recipe! All you did was combine a bag of frozen breaded chicken breasts, cut off a hunk of mozzarella, open a jar of spaghetti sauce, throw it all in the oven and viola! Parmesan chicken!...(like where's the Parmesan part?)
He did on occasion get me to try his ordered Parmesan chicken entree at a restaurant and still, I could never fathom why the Italians would do this to a chicken.
But since Rouxbe has shown me many foods I avoid like the plague are actually not only good but incredibly delicious, I can only say I was not disappointed.
Man-o-man!!! This was so good, my husband (who thinks he's the king of making Parmesan chicken) kept looking at me suspiciously as he ate and finally asked in a low almost defiant tone, "What did you put in this chicken to make it taste this good?" As if anything in the world could taste better than frozen Tyson Chicken?
I was speechless. I felt like I was guilty of some kind of homeland security culinary breach.
Nope, no state secret here. Just the magic of FRESH INGREDIENTS, love, passion, anticipation, mixed with a little fear, apprehension and Rouxbe as my guide.
I still may never order this at a restaurant again, but definitely will add it to my favorites to make at home again and again!
And to think, this is only going to get better as I practice. Not bad for my first attempt at this dish!
Thanks Rouxbe!!
I made it with exact ingrediants and it was assume ,all 3 kids and husband realy liked it.I took the cutting of the chicken course , i couldnt believe i ended up with alot of breast pieces ..I feel now all these years i have waisted money on not cutting them thinner .also threw that course i have chicken strips in freezer waiting to be cooked next .
I did see you have a recipie to make you'r own bread crumbs i will be doing this also anything i can make from scratch i am all for. I have been on for 3 days and i have only found myself improving in my cooking ..I think soon i will need a bigger kitchen ..lol
Hi Lynn! Welcome!
Before Rouxbe my family would run when I announced dinner was ready. Now they ask, "What's for dinner!?"
You are gonna love it here! Especially if you are already a pretty good cook because they demystify why your dishes can be perfect sometimes and others not so perfect.
This is cooking by technique. A world of possibilities open up when you understand those techniques. Your creative confidence and trust in yourself writing your own recipes is going to skyrocket.
Congratulations on your first dish! Careful, this place is addictive!
i had my sisters' family over for dinner. I'm not sure what I was thinking- attempting to make this for them as my brother-in-law is the pickiest eater I know and happens to be Italian... He loved it, the kids loved it. My brother-in-law actually had 3 servings. Going to make it tomorrow night! Thx Rouxbe!
Thank you Patty T and Dawn! I've never made this from scratch before and wasn't sure if I had done something a little bit off to make it less crispy than I had expected. Your idea of putting the sauce on the plate sounds wonderful. Also, thank you for this wonderful recipe. I have always used the Tyson trick too LOL. This is much better.
Am I to assume that the chicken breasts in this recipe are without a brine added? I remember the brining lesson and remember how wonderful the chicken tasted after brining. However, with the cuts of meat being so thin, was not sure whether the brining would help, or hinder the flavor. Thanks!
Personally, I would not go the extra effort of brining the meat for this recipe. The meat stays moist and tender as it is nicely protected by the crust as it cooks. There is also enough flavor from the seasoning, tomato sauce and cheese to ensure the chicken is far from bland. Hope this helps. Cheers!
The more I practice with these wonderful RouxBe recipes, the less appealing the store-bought versions of these meals are. The confidence in my cooking has increased a thousand-fold since I joined here over a month ago. The chicken parm has become another must-have in the household menu.
I've made this 3 times since I joined Rouxbe.
1st, by following the recipe, not knowing anything.
2nd, after taking the courses and fully understanding what I'm doing
3rd, continue to practice what I'm learning. And the dish was better than the last time!
Also made this with eggplant and it was pretty nice too!
A large, stainless-steel pan will also work for shallow frying (see the lesson on Shallow and Deep Frying).
Once breaded, it is best to let the breading set for about 10 to 15 minutes prior to frying. Any longer and the breading will start to turn soggy (refer to the lesson on How to Bread and Batter Foods). Cheers!
This recipe is much easier than I had expected, I was anxious since I was hosting a big family dinner -- about 30-ish pieces of chicken to bread, fry and bake. It was incredible thanks to Rouxbe! :) My only complaint about this recipe is now I'm hosting Christmas dinner because of it. Thank you Rouxbe folk, you're amazing as always!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was a huge success. The family loved it. Started with the Rouxbe tomato sauce recipe two nights ago and then used that to make a lovely olive and caper sauce (with a bit of red chili and parsley) to top grilled tuna steaks. Served that with steamed potatoes and a nice little salad. Success. Tonight, the sauce was used to make the chicken parmigiana, after adding a bit of torn basil. Followed the recipe to the letter, including the bread crumb instructions (so much better than the store-bought variety). Served it with spaghetti aglio e olio and some rapini with lemon and garlic. Dessert was the torta al vino made with luscious blackberries. Thank you, Rouxbe.
Made this recipe yesterday morning and it was superb. Excellent combination of home made tomato sauce with the dry bread crumbs breaded chicken. I sided with garlic and parsley rigatoni. I made a couple of substitutions, when making tomato sauce I deglaze with some cava with a pinch of sugar and I used grana padano cheese instead of parmigiano regiano (I know is not the same cheese but you can get similar results when shortage of parmigiano).
Thank you Rouxbe for this recipe, I declare my culinary love to you!
Best regards JJ

Done: After loss to Carolina, Eagles need to look ahead to next year
ABOVE PHOTO: Running back Bryce Brown was one of the few bright spots in the Eagles loss to the Panthers on Monday night. He gained 178 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns.

By Chris Murray
For the Chris Murray Report
If you're still watching, you might as well look at the last five games of the Eagles 2012 campaign as an exhibition season where the team will be evaluating younger talent and older players will be playing for jobs either here or elsewhere.
With the Eagles seventh straight loss to the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field, the playoff contending portion of the season is officially over. Actually, the Eagles hunt for the postseason may have been over last week in Washington or even the week before against the Dallas Cowboys.
We're marking this as the "official" end to the year because Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said earlier this year that an 8-8 record or worse was not acceptable and that Andy Reid would be fired if things didn't improve. The way this season is going, the Birds will be lucky to finish at .500. Suffice it to say, Reid's days are numbered in Philly.
The 30-22 loss to the Panthers Monday night was a microcosm of the Eagles awful season. Defensively, the Birds were just plain clueless as Cam Newton picked apart the Eagles for 306 yards and four total touchdowns—two passing and two on the ground. Since the firing of former defensive coordinator Juan Castillo, the defense has gotten progressively worse with each week under Todd Bowles stewardship as the defensive coordinator.
"It's stressing because every possible way that we could lose a game, we've done it," said defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins.
On Newton's first two touchdown passes, a 24-yarder to tight end Gary Barnidge and a 43-yard strike to wide receiver Brandon LaFell, the defensive backfield was nowhere to be found. During this seven-game losing streak there have been some bizarre breakdowns in coverage where receivers have waltzed into the end zone all alone and untouched.
"It's miscommunication, missed assignments and that leads to what happened tonight, they just have a clear shot," said strong safety Nate Allen. "It's unfortunate, mistakes happen. But there's no excuse."
If it wasn't for a couple of overthrown balls by Newton there might have been more touchdown passes against the Eagles defense.
When the Eagles bring in a new coach for next year, overhauling the defensive backfield has to be one of the priorities for the defense, especially at the safety position. The players they have—Allen and free safety Kurt Coleman are somewhere between below average and just downright terrible.
On offense, there was a bright side and a downside with the negative trumping all the good things that happened. Running back Bryce Brown, who hadn't played much football since his high school days in Wichita, Kan. had a huge game for the Birds, gaining 178 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns—including a big 65-yard run for a score.
The downside for the Birds was Brown's two fumbles killed drives and ultimately any chance the Eagles had for a victory. You also had a sub-par performance by rookie quarterback Nick Foles, who completed 16-of-21 for 119 yards and came close to being intercepted not once, but twice.
If you're looking at a player the Eagles ought to keep for next season, Brown is a definite keeper. With him and LeSean McCoy in the backfield, the Eagles will have something special.
At the same time, it has to make Eagles fans wonder would have happened if this team had put a greater emphasis on the running game with McCoy and Brown. Quarterback Michael Vick would have taken a few less shots to the head if Reid and Marty Mornhinweg would have utilized the running game more.
Even a patchwork, injury-riddle offensive line like the Birds can run-block when they are called on to do it. But during the Reid era, the running game, even when they have been good at moving the ball on the ground, is something they have been reluctant to utilize as the lead weapon in their offensive attack.
The next coach of the Eagles should understand that you need talent on both sides of the football. On offense, you need a balanced attack. You can't throw the ball over 30-40 games and have the running game as an after thought, something that happened quite frequently during Reid's tenure in Philadelphia.
Defensively, you can't just draw up a scheme and think you can win with a bunch of mediocre players. In his 14 years, Reid didn't pay much attention to finding talent on defense. By the time guys like former defensive end Jevon Kearse and their so-called shutdown corner Nnamdi Asomugha got here, their skills were in decline.
The only thing for the Eagles to do for the remainder of this season is evaluate the talent they already have and search the collegiate ranks for players to address the spots where they are weak.
Brace yourselves Eagles fans because it's going to be a while before your Birds can call themselves a playoff contender again.
+ Top Story
On Monday, Hopkins and Garcia joined forces with We Feed the Homeless Philly and the American Red Cross House on Powelton Avenue to give 450 holiday turkeys to low-income families in Mantua and residents of the Red Cross House.
The Eagles 24-16 win over the Washington Redskins Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field was a stark contrast to where this team was last season going into a bye-week. Last year, the last game the Eagles played before their bye-week was a heartbreaking loss to the Detroit Lions...
Mychal Kendricks was a rookie when the Eagles struggled through last year's 4-12 season in which the defense blew games late in the fourth quarter or just got outright blown off the field. Quarterbacks like Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Washington's Robert Griffin III had field days carving up the Birds defense.

Read below for tips on avoiding fraudulent charitable contribution schemes from Looks Too Good to be True. Recently several natural disasters, including tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes, have devastated lives and property. In the wake of these events that have caused emotional distress and great monetary loss to numerous victims, individuals across the nation often feel a desire to help these victims, frequently through monetary donations. These disasters prompt individuals with criminal intent to solicit contributions purportedly for a charitable organization or a good cause. Therefore, before making a donation of any kind, consumers should adhere to certain guidelines, to include the following:
These and other good tips are also available in our Home Computer and Internet Security Brochure in download format in English and eight other languages. When you are not using your computer you normally have four different options:
Or the other two options which most users don�t understand:
Both options allow you computer to quickly turn on if you need it. Sleep Mode, also known as Standby, saves your data into the computer's RAM memory and turns off most other functions of the computer. This means it still needs power, however just enough to power the RAM and not much else. Hibernation saves the same data to your computer's hard disk, which means you can withdraw all power from the system without losing your data. Both options allow for quick resuming of your computing, however hibernation is a little more power-friendly since it does not need any power. Sleep Mode is a little faster on resuming: storage to your RAM memory is faster than storage to your hard drive. Whatever option you choose, I recommend rebooting your computer every now and then. Windows is known for having memory leaks which can slow Windows down over time. Agree or disagree with me?
