San Francisco, California
My Rating
This was a great trip, our driver was very knowledgeable, would thoroughly recommend.
San Francisco, California
My Rating
Alcatraz was great, however the city tour was a let down as there was an annual fun run on and most of the streets were closed. Even though this is not the tour company's fault, the driver was not aware of the streets being closed and we spent half of the morning driving up and down streets trying to find out what was opened. I feel that the tour company should have found out what streets would be closed and then planned the tour accordingly or cancelled it for that day.
San Francisco, California
My Rating
Very organised, bus arrived not long after we got there and took us straight to the hotel. Would recommend
Las Vegas, Nevada
My Rating
This was a great tour and we would recommend. Our pilot travis was fantastic even including the kids on his jokes. Boat trip and time at top was enough, would not change a thing. Early morning trip meant that we were back before the heat and the crowds.
Los Angeles, California
My Rating
This transfer was well organised and their pick up point at LAX was easy to find even for foreigners. It was so good that we have organised another transfer through them at San Francisco.

Gregory Jaczko's "propensity for angry outbursts and aggressive behavior" as chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has created a toxic environment at the safety regulator, Republicans on a U.S. House panel said.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko was "red-faced" and "shaking angry" in a July meeting with an agency executive, House Republicans said in a report about discord on the panel.
Members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission have said they're willing to work together after four of them accused Chairman Gregory Jaczko of bullying employees and creating a toxic work environment.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko said he is resigning, as lawmakers, colleagues and an independent watchdog criticize what they said is a bullying style and mistreatment of female employees.
Investors seeking some direction on the potential severity of Japan's nuclear crisis got it from a person most probably hadn't heard of until last week.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission should for the first time require plant owners to review earthquake hazards at least once a decade, Chairman Gregory Jaczko said, backing a proposal opposed by industry.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko denied accusations by all four of his agency colleagues that he verbally abused employees, telling lawmakers he was hearing many complaints for the first time.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko, whose management style has been criticized, denied allegations that he mistreats female colleagues while saying the agency's inspector general is preparing another report.
"You could see damage to sites and to the plants, although you do not have the energy in the reactor core to do damage like you saw at Fukushima Dai-Ichi."

God loves us unconditionally, without limit or qualification, and He loves us personally and individually.
Not only does He love us and desires to shower us with His love, but He longs to be loved by us, and His desire is that we love one another.
The most important decision we can ever make in our lives is a decision about love, to receive God's love, to love God, and to love others.
God's love is powerful. It causes change in the human heart. He loves the sinner as well as the saints.
The Bible tells us that the rain falls on the just and the unjust, the sun shines on the saint and the sinner.
We have no hope until we meet Jesus Christ. God's love is the foundation of all hope.
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us." 1 John 4: 10-12
We can't earn unconditional love, we can't merit it in any way. We are worthy of God's love because His desire is to love us. We love Him because He first loved us. God's love is unconditional.

Are Nadal's balls the heaviest in history?
Watching Nadal-Ferrer yesterday, I could not help thinking that when pace and spin are taken together to define what is a heavy ball, Nadal might have the heaviest balls in tennis history.
What do you guys think?
I would say yes. A pro who has played on the tour against about everyone would be a better source of opinion though.
Here is the gem you want to look for to really see how hard Nadal hits. Try and look out for a match in which he plays a lower ranked guy who has never played him before. I saw one a couple years back in either IW or the USO.
Anyway, the entire first set was just the guy trying to adjust to the ball. After that, he played better (still got crushed), but it was really interesting to see. He clearly had never seen a ball like that.
I don't think it was ball heaviness at all. Ferrer is just afraid of Nadal. If it is so heavy then why doesn't Novak have any problem with it ?
Thread title made me :lol:
His forehand probably is. I haven't seen anyone else who can hit shots as fast as he can while still having a loopy trajectory.
PED use would suggest otherwise.
Just add up average rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy of the ball from Nadal. On the forehand it is probably the most, but if we are not using any data from other players it is speculation.
Stupid thread title aside, I doubt Nadal hits the most topspin of anyone right now on his forehand, let alone combining his forehand and topspin backhand to get an average of the heaviness of his groundstrokes.
There simply isn't enough data on all of the players on the tour. So far I have seen RPM data only on Djokovic, Federer, Murray and Nadal. And that's only forehands.
Congrats, that's a sample size of... 4? And people extrapolate that to say Nadal hits the most topspin of all time. The top 4 aren't everyone. Other players besides the top-4, specifically the clay specialists may hit more RPM's on their forehands, in particular I reckon Andreev who is absolutely violent with his forehand, hits more RPM's than Nadal's forehand. Other players can also be significantly more jacked than feeble frickin' Nadal to fvcking blast the strings upwards through contact.
And on backhands, most 1hbh's, (especially Almagro, Gasquet, Wawrinka and Volandri) will get significantly more topspin on their backhands than Nadal does on his. Gulbis also likely has more topspin RPM's on his backhand.
Here's a piece on Nadal's forehand rpms I recalled from last year....but he pays a price for it!
Also, Djokovic is an absolute animal when he plays low ranked players. I think he has dished out more bagels to early round journeymans than Federer/Nadal. Most lower ranked players are completely overwhelmed by the depth/pace combo of Djokovic's shots. I think it was at the USO last year or the year before, this one guy got the entire Arthur Ashe crowd behind him to propel him to hold just once against Djokovic, which he did and got a round of applause for.
Dat thread title...
I would say so, and I have heard quotes from players saying similar things.
Interesting that article said that Nadal can only hit the heavy topspin if he lets the ball drop first in order to actually brush up on the ball.
Perhaps the way to beat Nadal is by hitting extremely deep with extreme topspin to him, so he can't let the ball drop because by the time it begins to drop it has hit the back fence.
Then Nadal would be forced to hit extremely high balls with his forehand (which means he can't get as much topspin with his own forehand), or backhand (and his backhand is vulnerable against high balls, which is funny since he makes a living out of abusing other people's backhands in the same way - glass house much?).
I think Nadal's balls are the heaviest ever.
You guys have short (selective?) memory*.
Rafa's balls are too heavy for Novak to handle when on clay. Paradoxically, It's only when his balls are wet, that Novak can get a hold on them, even then barely so.
* Case in point: Rain at 2012 Roland Garros, i.e. less than a year ago.
Unless I'm mistaken, many objective individuals have opined that , yes, Rafa hits the average heaviest rally ball ever seen, AND it's coming at you with lefty spin which together make him highly unattackable and this particularly frustrates attacking players. Rafa would destroy prime McEnroe or Edberg but Borg would play Rafa tough in my opinion.
Not only does he hit with some of the fastest swingspeeds in tennis, but he's super consistent, likes to tease his opponent, and has some of the quickest legs around to make you hit another ball after you've hit your winner attempt.
And his passing shots are pretty decent too, as is his 1hbh slice, and excellent volley, and a consistent first serve.
His game wears you down.

There won't be more officials. There won't be a ZERO tolerance policy. There won't be a contract that parents/kids sign before each tournament. There won't be a public facing website with names and pictures of frequent offenders.
If you teach your kid to hook back, you've failed as a parent. It's better for junior to focus on reducing unforced errors and building up the mental toughness arsenal to deal with those blurry-eyed moments that may occur during a match.
A hook loses, even when he/she wins. A champion is a winner, even when he/she loses. If you can teach your kid that, you're a 1st team All-American parent.
Great post. I could go on and on about this topic. Blaming the parents in a blanket statement is not the answer. The kids play the matches and make the calls, parents need to stay out. Expecting mommy and daddy to step in every time does not teach the kid how to handle them self when they are not there. Public parent to child humiliation is also not the answer. Many kids are soundly disciplined away from the court for poor sportsmanship (mine has been). Just because we don't see mommy and daddy publicly disciplining their kid does not mean they are not doing so when they leave the courts. *For poor sportsmanship of course.
I've seen over the years bad line callers and poor sports in the 12's and 14's who are now the opposite in the 16's and 18's. Expecting every kid to be Stephan Edburg is not realistic as is tolerating a little Johnny Mac is unacceptable. That's said, it goes without saying that Edburg or insert model players name is their expample.........But this is tennis, a frustrating game, and kids are all different, they will make mistakes during their jouney. How they learn from those mistake to make them a better player and person is key. They're kids, with our help they will mature and grow up. Hopefully.

The Video
2012 started with an upheaval of change. Painful, gut-wrenching, seismic change. From January 1st, my life began a new journey. Part of that new journey was my reconciliation with the way I see. The thing is, I've always been a little weird. I've been told my work is "edgy" since my college days. "Dark, mysterious, seductive, depressing, edgy, suicidal, achingly beautiful, tortured, cathartic"…..these are all words I've heard over the years describing my work. So I tried to conform, to shoot in a style that wasn't mine but would appease the masses. I shot freckled girls in denim jeans on white backgrounds holding puppies and smiling toothy grins of teenaged innocence. I've shot long legged girls in itsy-bitsy bikinis on pearl sanded beaches with come hither eyes. I've shot commercially acceptable, masses approachable, clean, honest and totally sans "edge" fashion photographs.
Marilyn Manson
But it hasn't been my vision. This work was not mine! So with the upheaval of change that this year forced upon me came the renewed sense of my own Self, facing me again, asking myself, what's it all about. I came up with this: if I can't shoot what I love and how I see, what's the point.
I flew to my hometown, Los Angeles, on January 9th and I threw myself into work. I know, ironic right? I leave NYC land of fashion uberness to go to tacky LA to throw myself into work. I find it very odd that NY'ers hate LA people but LA people LOVE NY'ers. I think when you're laying in the sun on January 15th in the backyard sipping on a mojito planning the menu for your outdoor barbeque that evening, there's really nothing for an LA person to hate on a NY'er. But that's just one theory. Any way, back to me going home: I shot 4 editorials and 2 video commercials in 6 weeks. I collaborated with my dear friend Rodney Burns who styled all the shoots. Ben Trovato being one of them.
The technical specs on this shoot can't be any simpler. I shot with no artificial light. I used a large window to the right of the set as my key. That's it. I shot with the Nikon D3 with my
I look at the results, the final pictures, and I'm pleased. But the feeling goes beyond being "satisfied". I'm home. If that makes any sense. Shooting what I love and how I see fashion. My greatest wish for myself is that I can stick to this and not listen to people anymore telling me I must conform and change to shoot in a style that isn't mine. I guess we're all going to find out together if I can stick to my guns and stay true to my vision now. I've shed a lot of baggage so far this year. A lot of negative, heavy, cumbersome baggage. And I'm continuing to shed more. The excuses to NOT stick to my guns are getting fewer and fewer. Since my blog is very public (haha…. understatement of the century) you're all along on this journey WITH me…….so as I like to say…..stay tuned.

Hey, if the world is going to end this year, might as well go out with a bang right? ;)
This is a fantastic blog post. There seems like there is something going around the "creative" world right now with a lot of people finding new inspiration, new hope and passions in things that feed our soul.
Me, personally, I have been in the advertising world for over 20 years and left NYC 5 years ago after working as a creative director at some of the "best" agencies in the world feeling discouraged, demoralized and questioning everything that I thought I love in the world of "creativity".
Now, I make much less money working on much less glamorous work and I am 1,000% happier, more inspired and feeling excited to do what I do every day again. I think that I too had given up so much of me and what truly inspired me on the floor in the name of "success" which ended up being such a hollow, lonely place anyway.
So now I am back to doing what turns me on, creatively, personally and intellectually and I feel so much more like ME. I am no longer for sale. I will create what feeds my soul and is the HONEST and RIGHT thing to do for both me and my clients. The funny thing is that I'm starting to find more "success" with this approach now, and, I'm happy, inspired and dreaming big again. That to me is success.
Thanks for your honesty, passion and doing what you do. Your work has inspired me to shoot more again, on medium and large format FILM, and I am loving it.
Never settle.
I would love to hear your opinion of my work, Melissa or anyone else on this blog, as I have only been shooting for almost a year and am starting to hit my stride: http://www.fotosiamo.com
Thanks for all the inspiration!

Thank you for sharing. I'm 18, living in Vienna and reading your blog since it's beginnings. To me, this is the most beautiful post you've yet written. Probably because it is the most truthful one. I don't want to get started in the Fashion Industry yet. I want my photographs to be MY photographs before they become anyone else's. Just the thought of letting my work stand on it's own makes me dedicate myself to it even more.
I think there is a tendency that people now realize how badly they ignored their roots and how manipulated they are. Just think of the food people eat, the newspaper articles full of wrong facts, the anonymous identities on the internet full of promises…. all of that makes it even harder for all of us to find our true self within this world as we don't yet realize the consequences of what we've done to nature because it just doesn't really affect us yet!
It's very true that you won't fulfill anyone's expectations until you fulfill your own. Hope you have a good day and stay on that track :)
Thank you for sharing your vision.

Hi. Recently at work, I don't know what I did or what happened, but I lost Flash Player function. When I try to view certain things on the internet, I keep being told that I don't have Flash Player and install it now. Well I have installed it, removed it and re-installed many times now, but nothing changes. I wonder if I accidentally deleted something else which Flash needs. I just would like to have the complete set up back, so that I can still view/check things for our customers. Can someone please help? I am no expert but would like to put the situation back. Thank you.

I had the same problem and got fed up reinstalling it for it not to work. My problem I believe was that I had the zoom set to high and reduced it to 100% removed flash from the computer and rebooted and then installed the flash update again and it worked.
Lots of folk having problems with it so it is a bit hit and miss for repair. Can you download it to your computer without running it.Then remove the other one from add remove and reboot into safe mode and then run the one you have downloaded to your computer.
It took me almost a fortnight to get it sorted and was a bit frustrating.
A lot of programs use flash that is why it is better to reboot after uninstalling.

Hi, sorry I have never got back to you on this. I did as you said, but nothing. I have deleted and reinstalled Flash Player so many times, I can't believe it. But I'm wondering if my problem is something else. Everything I try to look at on the internet tells me I need to download Flash Player. I have done this though, so something else must be wrong. Can anyone help me with this, as it makes me feel so useless that I can't sort it out? Thanks a lot.

I should add that before trying the above do you use a registry 'fixing/cleaning' program? If so then check within the program to see if you have any restore points you can revert to and try Flash player again.

- Do they look like real women to you or not? What is it about them that makes you think this?
- Back to intro
René Magritte
La Représentation [Representation]1937
The fact that female nudes shock, as well as excite viewers, is an essential part of their appeal. Magritte tackles this subject head-on. In creating this unusual work, he may have been making an ironic comment on the entire western artistic ideal of the perfect female nude. Magritte wrote in 1935 that he was "thinking of pictures which represent only a single already existing or imagined object, or part of an object, a woman's breast, for instance". Magritte cut out the painting to the contours of the woman's body and had a special, shaped frame made for it. It emphasises the strange relationship between paintings and the real world.
This was the only time Magritte used a shaped frame for one of his paintings. The painting was originally square, but several months after painting it the artist decided to cut it down and have a new frame specially made. He may have been influenced by a pair of portraits in shaped frames painted by Salvador Dalí the previous year. Magritte wrote that the finished work 'constitutes a rather surprising object, I think.' Magritte was very particular about the titles of his works, and preferred them to be poetic and surprising rather than descriptive.
Magritte was born in Belgium and, apart from a few years spent in Paris in the late 1920s, lived there all his life. Unlike many Surrealists, Magritte did not subscribe to the view that the unconscious could be expressed through chance or 'automatic' techniques. Instead, he planned and executed his paintings with all the deliberation and skill of an academic painter. The results are surprisingly credible images of seemingly illogical scenes. Magritte would undermine logic by tampering with scale and by placing unrelated objects in unexpected settings. A constant theme running through his art is the relationship that exists between the painted image and the visible world, between fiction and reality. Magritte's art blurs the boundaries between the two.

zoom @ picture*lol'd*But great news tho !
I'm all for it. I'm currently leveling mining and herbalism on my Death Knight. You can only get one skill point for a given node, so I'd rather consume the whole node in one hit so it's available again during my next pass.
This leads me to beleive that Blizzard is pushing more for the "casual gaming/hardcore raiding" crowd. It's yet another update that hurts RP players.Mining is a very labor intensive, time consuming activity. And rewards are higher as a result. I see this update to encourage farming nodes - inflating the amount of ore/bars in the world and hindering those that have made a "job" of it.Much in the same vein (pun intended) - removing the restrictions on racial mounts. What good is reputation for Alliance/Horde groups now? A tabard? Who stops and looks at tabards... a mount is catchy. A mount inspires awe. THAT'S an achievement. People will see that rather than having to zoom in on a screen already full of people, names, and nameplates just to try and discern what kind of tabard you are wearing and whether or not it's part of the myriad of choices that guilds have or from something neat that you've done.Bah... I'm turning in to a grumpy old WoW fogey... "back in my day, you had to be 40 to get a mount... damn kids today..."
I am psyched about this simply for nothing other then stopping hte node stealers who jump in and stand there to steal your node, it has been the most frustrating thing about LK for me to have people just jumping down on you taking your stuff.
26reverse - On the contrary - having to hack the same node 4 or 5 times achieves nothing. THis change ahs been too long coming.in terms of racial mounts - I think you've misunderstood. All they've done is stopped certain mounts from being unrideable: eg, now any alliance race can earn rep with Gnomergan Exiles to get a mechanostrider. On the past you could ONLY have a mechanostrider as a dwarf or gnome as other races were considered too big. They're not handing out foreign mounts suddenly.
Rofl @ RP servers. IMO Blizzard only put those servers in to serve the whining of a smaller player base. I think this new update is a long awaited one for us miners."Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go"
I'm thrilled to be wrong on the whole mount thing (and that all my work on my Darnassian Rep'd Gnome hasn't gone to waste). I just wish they'd been more specific on the PTR notes. (to be fair - the official mount pages list "race" and "available to" separately... and this new understanding means the "available to" restrictions are going away rather than the "race" restriction).As to the RP/mining bit. I like feeling encompassed in their game world. It's deep, detailed and consuming. Hitting a mining vein multiple times for loot "makes sense" to me. But being a minority in that opinion doesn't hurt.Given the discussions about "I hit once, you hit once" (which I've done and seen done quite a bit) - I'd rather see a "single hit" amount of ore retrieved, but increase the rate of respawns. Much closer to the skinning profession, imo.
my one problem is competition...lets say i was mining something just dismounted tried to mine to lvl up and boom....i mess up..so i try again..then hey look some other guy wants in...well i was there first was i not? well now if i can mine it quicker he can boom snatch it from me I get no chance to lvl...well i also i dont like the fact of all the competition...I try to mine and now i get 2 peeps on a titanium fight...no fun..no fun..:( hope it works...
You could always share skillups from the same node with other herbalists as long as you only opened the loot window, without actually taking the herbs. I'm sure the same will work with ore, but it will certainly be a lot more difficult to split the actual loot from the node between multiple miners now. Personally, I run into those situations very rarely, so I'm looking forward to leveling mining on my low-level alts.
I am currently rejoicing over this! This means that I don't have to worry about idiot players who try to steal ore while I'm in the middle of mining.

Poway social-networking group has jobs at focus
• "Have a schedule and stick with it five days a week. Finding a job is a full-time job." — Ted Gallup of Carlsbad
• "Join a group like InlandNet so you can network, stay focused and build momentum. It's good for your morale to know you're not alone." — Laura Piening of Temecula.
• "Upgrade your professional image by dressing for success." — Jan Grzeskiewicz of Poway
• "Before an interview, research the company and the position, and do a mock interview. Always arrive at least 10 minutes early." — Karen Bowman of La Jolla
• Information: inlandnet.org. Upcoming InlandNet meetings: Wednesday, May 5 and May 19 at 8 a.m. at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, 16275 Pomerado Road, Poway.
NORTH COUNTY With the unemployment rate in San Diego at more than 10 percent, InlandNet, a social-networking group in Poway, has helped 100 professionals find jobs since it was formed in November 2008.
Although the group is open to anyone at no charge, most of its more than 500 members are middle-age professionals who find themselves unemployed for the first time.
"If you haven't looked for a job in 15 years, the techniques of finding one are radically different now," said the Rev. Bill Zettinger of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Poway.
Zettinger is co-founder of the group, which meets at the church on the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 8 to 10 a.m.
"After the financial meltdown in the fall of 2008, parishioner Jerry Underkoffer came to me and said, 'Maybe we should try to do something about this,' " Zettinger said.
Soon after, Underkoffer found a job in Eureka and moved away, but the idea of InlandNet was born and has blossomed.
"We get 10 to 15 new people every month. It's incredible," Zettinger said. "You read about the unemployment rate, but you don't put a human face on it. When you see the people and hear their stories, it becomes very real."
All meetings feature a speaker on some aspect of being in "career transition," from writing résumés to learning interviewing techniques to maintaining the right attitude. Attendance averages 50 to 70 per meeting, and everyone gets 30 seconds to give an "elevator speech" about their background and the type of work they are seeking. "Imagine you are in an elevator with someone and only have 30 seconds to connect to that person," said Zettinger, adding that "more people get jobs that way than by answering ads."
Although St. Bartholomew's sponsors the group, "we don't care what your religious affiliation or background is. We are open to anybody and everybody," said J.V. Miller, InlandNet's executive director. "We don't pray at the meetings. We're here to network, make connections and find new careers."
However, the church provides support and resources not available with other networking groups, such as psychological, financial and legal counseling, Miller said.
"And we can add a spiritual component if a family is having trouble adjusting to unemployment," Zettinger said.

This topic is meant as a gauge to determine how in touch the developer is with the community in terms of which characters should be in this game and are most relevant/ iconic to the playstation brand. This is a mix of both your opinion in should the selected character be in this game and do you want them in this game.

-I want you to give a definitive yes or no answer based on your own opinion.
-I will do the simple math and give you a figure in percentage on the following day as well as the next character.

Yes. :D
The All Father has bequeath me the gift of battle. So now I bequeath you my spear through your heart.
PSN: EsperKazumi (not the name of my choice, but I share it with a sibling, so...) and KagePakkunX.
Official Sly Cooper of the PSASBR boards
No. More deserving, iconic characters.
PSN ID: FoxdizzzL
no, she isn't an all star.
PSN = Reevesinator
So far the votes are as I expected since people simply want to choose the next "Mario" with meh moves, than a more unique char with potential of being one of the better chars for this game.
Also doesn't help that Ellen's description for this thread is extremely vague.
The All Father has bequeath me the gift of battle. So now I bequeath you my spear through your heart.

No. Changing the direction the winch pulls would require making new interior bits for the winch...and then you'd end up with something that most people would screw up when they tried to use them.
The winch toppers work fairly well to self-tail the line, but I wouldn't trust them to hold the line under a load. Cleat the line off if you have a load on it...don't just use the winch topper like you would a real self-tailing unit.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

This Sunday at the 81st annual Academy Awards, legendary comedian and actor Jerry Lewis will receive the prestigous Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award on behalf of his long-time work raising money for disabled people through the the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon.
And for some, there lies the problem.
In the past, Lewis has described people with muscular dystrophy as "being half a person." He's also referred to a wheelchair as "a steel imprisonment."
Today, dozens of people with disabilities, many in wheelchairs, protested Lewis being given the honor. They gathered outside the Academy of Arts and Sciences at 8949 Wilshire in Los Angeles. Many came from all over the country to join in the protest.
Lawrence Carter-Long, spokesperson for the The Trouble With Jerry, was there and told RadarOnline.com exclusively "It's not about money. It's about respect. They can't pay us off."
Clark-Long added, "Dignity and respect is priceless. You don't get a pass for doing a telethon once a year".
The Academy stands by its decision to give Lewis the honor.
RadarOnline.com called Lewis' rep for response and was told "No Comment."

McAllister, perhaps more than any other Saints player, knows how much a victory against the Eagles would mean to this city. As corny as it might sound, these people have wrapped their arms around the Saints and they don't want to let go yet. McAllister often is stopped by fans who simply say, "It means so much for you guys to do well."
The Saints are New Orleans' escape from reality. When the team made its 2006 regular-season debut at the refinished Superdome on Sept. 25, McAllister thought the crowd noise was going to rupture the roof.
"And this game will rival the opening of the Superdome," he says.
Soon, we pull into the practice facility's parking lot. What was supposed to be a 45-minute interview has become a full chunk of his afternoon. And all because McAllister doesn't want America to forget that all is not right with the city he loves. Not yet it isn't.
"What can I do for you?" I say, as he hands me the car keys.
"You're doing it now," he says. "Just get that word out."

09.09.05 - By James Allan: I was intrigued to hear last week that Esham Pickering, the current European and Commonwealth Super Bantamweight Champion, was on a shortlist of two names lined up to fight Scott Harrison for his WBO World Featherweight title (the other being Nedal Hussein) in his scheduled October the First defence at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow before it had to be postponed due to ligament damage in Scotts left arm..
Harrison and Pickering have engaged in a lot of verbal sparring over the years. Pickering claims that Harrison is one-dimensional and that he would outbox him before eventually knocking him out. Harrison has responded by pointing out that a proposed fight between the two back in 2002 for the British title didnt go ahead as the British Boxing Board of Control refused to sanction the fight as they didnt consider Pickering to be good enough and that he does not have the experience or the reputation at World level to justify fighting him. However, an impressive victory for Pickering in Madrid against the up till then undefeated Spanish fighter Miguel Mallon and a lacklustre show by Scott against Victor Polo, followed by a not totally convincing victory against Michael Brodie, has bolstered the possibility of them finally meeting.
While I have sometimes been critical of Scott, I would give him plenty of credit for fighting Pickering, as he represents an almost no win scenario for Scott. If Scott wins, people will dismiss his victory, claiming that Pickering was too small, lacked experience, had never really fought top class opposition before etc etc. If he was to lose however, it would realistically be the end of his career in top-level boxing. His long talked about dreams of unifying the titles and his proposed move up to Super Featherweight to become a two weight World Champion would be over. While he would undoubtedly get a rematch against Pickering, even if he won it, his reputation would be irreparably tarnished and he would never again be in a position to demand big money to fight against the top names in his division.
What would make it such a courageous decision to take Pickering on, is the fact that Pickering is a live opponent, and would undoubtedly give Scott all the trouble he could handle. Pickerings career has had major setbacks at critical times, losing to Jon Jo Irwin for the vacant British Bantamweight title back in 1998, being demolished inside one round by Mauricio Martinez in 2000 for the WBO Bantamweight title and the losing a split decision verdict to Alejandro Monzon, a Spaniard fighting in Spain 2002. Since then he has gone an eight fight winning streak, capturing the Commonwealth, British and European Super Bantamweight titles in that time. Scott on the other hand appears to have reached his zenith. A loss to Manuel Medina, a draw with Victor Polo and a farce against Samuel Kebede have all made negative impacts on Scotts career. He has however had a good victory over William Abelyan and his last fight against Michael Brodie was fantastic, but after having a superb first round, he struggled in the second and third, being backed up by a fighter who was perceived to be shot after a hard career, culminating in two wars against Injin Chi. The victory over Abelyan and the body punch that finished Brodie were excellent, but in a strange sort of way, all they seems to have done is to paper over the cracks that seem to be appearing more and more often in Scotts performances.
Pickering isnt a shot fighter. He is a good boxer with decent skills. He has decent footwork, good hand speed and is in short, and the kind of fighter Scott seems to have trouble against. On the other hand, Scott may well get himself up for this fight and do the same kind of number on Pickering as he did on Abelyan. That is the beauty of boxing, anything is possible.
If Pickering comes through his October the 28th fight against Michael Hunter with his belts intact, it would be good to see him get his chance at Scott Harrison. He would argue that it is long overdue, and we would find out just how much Scott does or doesnt have left.

I have strong background in UNIX/Linux software development, Master's Degree in Computer Science. I worked on Enterprise high-load distributed hosting automation systems as a Team Leader (3.5 years in SWsoft, Inc., now called Parallels). For the last 6 years I'm running my own small software development business in Russia with primary focus on Python/Django apps. Not pure Web but often involving integration with hardware (Proximity Cards, Sensor Screens) or external systems like Payment Processing, SMS Gateways, GABRIEL (Airline Reservation System), etc. I can take an idea and turn it into a working business, through all the intermediate stages. Also I have experience of investing my own funds in my projects, so I feel the difference between "perfect code" in a month and "good enough" code that increases the revenue right now. Nevertheless, my code is very good: no copy-paste, always written with performance, flexibility and security in mind, etc. On oDesk I'm looking for (and actually find :) interesting projects with a sight on long-term fruitful cooperation. I'm also open to smaller activities (e.g., consulting) where my knowledge can be helpful.
