Driving towards job success
Organisers of Shepparton's jobs and skills drive say the project is on track, with 27 jobs filled since the start of this month.SOPHIE MALCOLM November 13, 2012 4:10am
CRS Australia employment services consultant Colin Burney is helping with the drive to find 100 jobs in the 30 days of November.
Organisers of Shepparton's jobs and skills drive say the project is on track, with 27 jobs filled since the start of this month.
The month-long intensive campaign aims to find 100 jobs during the 30 days of November.
Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations employment co-ordinator Julie Tyndall said she was pleased with the results so far.
''It's quite exciting,'' Ms Tyndall said.
''We've had 30 to 40 people a day coming through.''
The drive features a hub on Maude St where jobseekers can access employment and training opportunities and information.
CRS Australia employment services consultant Colin Burney set up shop at the hub this month and said the project included a focus on finding jobs for people with disabilities and illnesses.
''That's what we're there for, getting people into employment, but we specialise in helping people who have disabilities or impairments ,'' Mr Burney said.
He said employers were often unaware of the incentives available for taking on his clients.
''Probably the biggest one is there's a program called the Disabled Australian Apprentice Wage Support,'' Mr Burney said.
''So if an employer's looking to put someone into a traineeship or traditional apprenticeship, the employer attracts a subsidy of $104.30 a week, for the duration.''
Mr Burney said people could register themselves for the free service, or be referred to CRS Australia through Centrelink or their doctor. He encouraged people to visit his team at the hub.
''Touch base with us .
The hub is at 294 Maude St, next to Centrelink, and is open from 10

Historical Traveler Reviews La Villa des Orangers Marrakech
Oasis of opulent calm amid the frenzy
We were a party of 10 and found the hotel excellent in all respects. The service was first class and the staff very friendly. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. The inclusion of breakfast, lunch and laundry in the cost was a nice touch. The hotel is also so convenient for the souks and the the main square. Don't be put off by the small entrance in a row of local shops in a busy street. As soon as you step through you enter a world of calm and comfort.
Only minor critism was that the rooms are very dark which is great in the heat but not for those who want bright open spaces with outside windows. The riads are just not like that.
Perfect perfection
Steyed here for 4 nights over Easter weekend-EVERYTHING about this place was superb. Our suite-room 7 was big & exceptionally appointed; our private roof terrace was huge. The great breakfasts can be taken anywhere-we had ours on our terrace. Inclusive lunch was high quality & on our last night we had a great dinner served in a private salon off the main courtyard.
ALL the staff were super efficient & friendly.
THE place to stay in Marrakech!
Excellent Service
This hotel does not look like much upon from the outside, but once you walk through the doors you feel like you are in another world and can hardly believe you are in the middle of the lively streets of Marrakech as this hotel provided us with a feeling of extreme tranquility.
The hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff were exceptional. In particular the conceirge was outstanding.
The food was great and the freshly squeezed orange juice was the best I have had from all of our travels around the world.
I will definately stay here on my next trip to Marrakech.
Very nice
Just spent three nights at Villa des Orangers in Marrakech. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. Villa des Orangers is a wonderful property that is a great mix of traditional Morrocan arhictecture/charm and modern conveniences. Good location within the city. Staff is friendly and professional. Front desk staff graciously answered all of my questions and made some good shopping and dinner recommendations. I stayed in a suite without a terrace. The room is spacious and plesant, but lacks the type of unique Morrocan flair that I was hoping for. When I was in the bedroom, it felt like any other upscale hotel. Bathroom is fine, but the shower isn't up to scratch. They need to improve this. Also they have those traditional, leather Morrocan slippers in each bathroom, and they smell awful! Management should get rid of them. The restaurant is fine but not great. Plan on having no more than one dinner here. The best part of the hotel, however, is its public spaces. In short, they are fabulous. From the wonderful roof terrace with vistas of the Atlas Mountains to the three gorgeous courtyards and the numerous salons with comfy leather chairs and wood burning fireplaces, they are clearly the hotel's main attraction. Villa des Orangers is recommended for those who want the luxury and service of a five star hotel in a unique and intimate setting. The crowd here was mostly European, and generally over 50 years old. FYI, I also stayed at Riad el Fenn for three nights during this same trip and have written a review about it.
A wonderful place to stay
This Riad, located just inside the old city walls, met every expectation we had built from reading other's reviews. A beautifully finished interior with authentic dressings; a very helpful and polite staff who were discreet but always there when we needed something; a very relaxing and quiet atmosphere with lots of nooks and crannies (including two lounges with working fireplaces - it was cool at night) to hang out in. Although on the more expensive side, the cost included a very satisfying breakfast and luncheon. One really nice touch for first timers to Africa was to be met by the Riad's driver and car as you exited immigration at the airport - no worries about 'what do we do now?'. The front desk also set us up with a very good, government-approved, english speaking guide to tour the city with (just ask for Moustafa). He really made us feel at ease as we toured and definitely prevented us getting any hassles from unwanted vendors etc (note: our experience through the whole vacation was that the Moroccan people were very welcoming), that we might of otherwise encountered. There were two nice,clean swimming pools, one on the roof - unheated, but we didn't use them as the weather was unusually cool and wet for us. Personally, I think it would have been nice to have a big hot-tub on the roof instead of the second pool but I may not be saying that, had we been there in summer! We only ate dinner in the Riad's restaurant once but the food was well prepared and appetizing. Our bedroom and the en suite bathroom, in spite of being the basic selection, were large and, again, elegantly decorated. The bed was very comfortable. We'd definitely go back to Villa des Orangers, if given the chance. So much better than even the best hotels.
Absolutely stunning
We have just returned from 4 nights at La Villa Des Orangers and I can't recommend it enough. We were 4 couples and the staff were exemplary in their care and service, non instrusive but always keeping us totally satisfied. Each morning a phonecall to ask where you would like your breakfast served, courtyard, poolside, in the room, it's your choice and nothing was too much trouble. We would then venture out to the souks or for a walk and on our return a table for 8 would be setup for us to have our inclusive light lunch (which was more than ample).. it didn't matter if it was 12.00pm or 2.00pm or had we of not returned at all, though we always did as the food was so good! We tried a different restaurant each night that was recommended and arranged by the hotel (including taxis) which were all good but the tagine at the villa itself was far better than any of the others anywhere else. The riad is fantastically located (unlike the more famous Mamounia which was too far from the main square) we were only a 5 minute walk from the action. I'd also highly recommend taking a tour of the city in a caleche so you can get a good feel for the medina and surrounds, they also leave not far from the hotel. All in all, I'd highly recommend this great hotel and would definitely return.
I stayed at the Villa des Orangers with my boyfriend for four nights at the end of September. Upon our arrival, we received the most courteous welcome and were made to feel at home immediately. Definitely one of the best hotels I've stayed in.
LOCATION: We found the riad to be in a convenient location on the edge of the medina (therefore accessible by car). It is a 5 minute walk from the main square and also a 5 minute drive from the new town (Gueliz). It is also en route to the newly opened Pacha nightclub which is approx 8-10 minutes drive away.
SERVICE: First class. The staff were friendly and attentive (without being intrusive). They recommended top class restaurants and also booked our tables (we also observed we were given the best tables in restaurants when we mentioned we were staying at the Villa des Orangers). In addition, the hotel arranged for an English speaking taxi driver to take us on a day trip to a Berber market, the Atlas mountains, the Ourika valley, the Kasbah du Toubkal.
FOOD: The breakfast and light lunch included in the price of the room would be served wherever you requested (in your room, the rooftop, the courtyard or one of the salon rooms). The quality of the food was extremely high and the "light" lunches on offer were very filling indeed.
Quiet and so elegant
This renovated riad offers a wonderful place to relax for a couple of days, everything is so quiet. The riad is renovated with a very sobre style, colors are light. All rooms are different in pure and elegant Morrocan style. Above everything, the service from the staff is exceptional, very discret but at the same time absolutely perfect, always a smile and the intention to please - not necessarily for the tip... -
You should however not stay here for a longer period (3-4 nights is ok), the riad athmosphere (a mansion with no view on the outside...) can be oppressing after some days.
I stayed for four nights at the Villa des Orangers in September 2005 based on reviews on this site, and I am very happy that I chose this over the more famous Mamounia. The Orangers has elegant architecture, with a lovely courtyard and two separate swimming pools (one in a courtyard, one on the rooftop). It is a five minute walk from the main square. Staff were helpful and competent, and the room was excellent, with good air conditioning, a large bathroom and a comfortable bed. There are just 19 rooms, so it has an intimate feel. I have travelled extensively around the world, and have no hesitation in recomming this hotel.
A wonderful Moroccan experience...
We stayed at this small hotel for 4 nights and wished it had been longer. Everything was perfect and we are not too easy to please. We booked a room with "private" terrace upstairs and direct view to the Koutoubia...such a beautiful sight especially at night when lit up. I would not hesitate to book any room at this hotel because each has location features and the small courtyard (one of two) is surrounded by the less expensive rooms and also very nice. So...the rooms are beautiful and the service is beyond our expectations which were high. Hamid at the front desk together with the whole staff could not do enough...totally at your service but not in your face. The ambiance of the hotel was perfect...so Moroccan...not trying to be somewhere else...but just where you are! The rooftop pool was so relaxing later in the day and then the small group of musicians would play some beautiful Moroccan music that almost put you in a trace...every area of the hotel had this magical atmosphere. The larger pool was also nice and at night lit up ...well I could sit and take it in forever. Food was very good and you can eat anywhere you like...again service tops. Don't be put off by the prices...this includes not only the room, breakfast but also a "light" lunch (not so light and very good) laundry (very nice to get things done for the continuation of our trip) mini bar and any soft drinks you want during your stay, taxes and all. It was really nice to return after shopping or touring and sit in the peaceful atmosphere and have lunch. Good location and taxi can come direct to front door (not so with many riads). As you can tell we loved it and I highly recommend this hotel (really more like a riad) to anyone traveling to Marrakech. I did extensive research and this hotel got very good reviews everywhere..was surprised not reviewed yet on trip advisor so I wanted to share my impressions. YOu will not be disappointed!

Ted Bailey is the Chief Executive Officer, Founder and Chairman of Dataminr. Ted founded Dataminr in 2009 as the first technology company to build a bridge between the emerging real-time front edge of Twitter and the unique needs of the business professional.
Ted will deliver the third occasion of the annual Glenn A. Britt Lecture. Mr. Britt, the late CEO of Time Warner Cable, gave the first such lecture in 2013, and was a supporter of NYC Media Lab from its inception. Jon Oringer, CEO of Shutterstock, gave the keynote address last year. For the lecture, NYC Media Lab calls upon an individual with deep experience in the digital media and technology industry to discuss how talent and technology combine to generate innovation.
Disruption, Hacking, and Collaborative Networked Interaction
Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Assistant Professor, Lehman College, CUNY
Jonah will discuss his work in the theme of "Deconstructing Networks and Disruptive Technologies" in both their physical and online instantiations. He will introduce projects that subvert accepted notions of network interaction from software manipulation to translating virtual processes into the physical world. He will conclude with a live demo that allows members of the audience to participate.

Jonathan Stray, Fellow, Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Columbia University
Intrigued by data journalism but unsure where to start? In this hour long workshop you will personally investigate a few classic data sets, including the survivors of the Titanic. We'll use spreadsheets and some basic visualization tools to demystify the data analysis process and get you started on your own stories. No previous experience required! Bring a laptop with Excel.
Video games are already a defining force in digital storytelling, but how they tell stories is widely misunderstood and often we see games that do not take advantage of the potential of the medium. This workshop will cover key concepts of storytelling in games, such as new models of authorship, the challenges of narrative games, and the role of technology. These concepts will help us understand better how video games can be part of the transmedia landscape, and how game design can inform creating experiences in virtual reality.
NYC Media Lab's Annual Summit will include an interactive "science fair" of 100 research projects and prototypes from universities in NYC and beyond. Meet emerging talent from university labs and program focusing on engineering, data science, and design, and more..

Which Heartsick Track on the New Robin Thicke Album Will Win Back Paula Patton?Christopher Polk/Getty Images
Things we know for sure: Robin Thicke and Paula Patton split up in February after nine years of marriage. Things we don't actually know for sure, but that all seem to be more or less agreed upon: There were probably other ladies involved. Things we also know for sure: Thicke's new album is called Paula, it's devoted entirely to winning her back, and it's definitely gonna work. I mean, come on: This is a fantastic plan; more important, it's Canadian royalty and increasingly-jowly-but-still-unstoppable sex-machine Robin Thicke we're talking about here. The only question: At exactly what point in the Paula listening experience will Patton officially call off the divorce lawyers? Let's consult the recently released tracklist to find out!
1. "You're My Fantasy"
"Sure, right, of course," Patton will say here, at first, nodding sternly to herself. "Nothing he hasn't been incessantly texting me for months." But then the chorus will hit, those mellifluous high notes taking the express elevator right into her left ventricle: "You're my fantasy, baaaby." "I … I need a glass of water," Patton will softly stammer.
2. "Get Her Back"
This is the single! The single of his new album! His new album that's called Paula! Thicke's not messing around, bringing in the heavy artillery right off the bat. It won't be that easy to reconquer the disputed territory, of course. But the exterior defense fortifications have been at least partially breached.
3. "Still Madly Crazy"
This sounds like a doubling-down of the sentiment introduced on Track 1, although possibly in a more sentimental swan-shaped-boat rides kind of way. Right now she's remembering all those hand-in-hand visits to the observation deck at Toronto's famed CN Tower.
4. "Lock the Door"
A polite reminder that NO ONE sexes like Thicke sexes. Paula, get a firm chair. Sit in it. Wait it out. Those knees will become unweakened again eventually.
5. "Whatever I Want"
Um. Hmm. Seems like a misstep in intent here? No worries. He's probably just giving Patton a chance to catch her breath.
6. "Living in New York City"
Sure, yeah, let intermission run for a little longer. People haven't had a chance to even get souvenir plastic wine cups yet, I bet.
7. "Love Can Grow Back"
There we go! There we go! Back on-message. And Patton, once again, is on the hook.
8. "Black Tar Cloud"
"… is what won't be hangin' over us, once you cancel divorce proceedings, my sweet, sweet amor …"
9. "Too Little Too Late"
"… is what we'll never think about the album Paula, Paula, because it convinced us to rebuild our damaged but not irrevocably so communication channels …"
10. "Tippy Toes"
By now, Patton's three-quarters of the way in the bag. There's been sex, there's been love, there's been well-considered break periods … it's just going to take …
11. "Something Bad"
… a few more nudges …
12. "The Opposite of Me"
… and Paula's right back …
13. "Time of Your Life"
… where she belongs …
14. "Forever Love"
… in Robin Thicke's big strong arms, for FOREVER and EVER. So which track actually sealed the deal? Come on. It was always gonna happen: He had her at "overwrought displays of affection delivered via incredibly blunt concept album." Happy second marriage, you guys. I bought you star-shaped ice cube trays.

We Live In a World Gone Mad
These are perilous times: Iran is on its way to getting the bomb, Russia is on the march, China's economy is teetering, the U.S. has a historic election in prospect.

I like the supermodel angle: The Telegraph: Then there is television: Jimmy Kimmel–whom I have never watched, but isn't he »
Trump tests the intelligence of populists
It's well documented that until fairly recently Donald Trump was a Democrat and that he took mostly liberal positions on major issues. But Kevin Williamson deepens our understanding of Trump's non-conservatism — as well as his deep cynicism — by looking at how the tycoon has tried to influence American politics through money. Williamson makes his point by comparing Trump to others who, as Donald likes to say, are "really »
What Carly can do: Quotable quotes
At my request the Fiorina campaign has kindly forwarded the text of Carly Fiorina's speech at the Reagan Library this week. I want to post this addendum of quotable quotes to the video of the speech that I posted here this morning. Quotable quote: "When President Obama warned Assad not to cross a red line, Assad took this as an invitation, not an admonition. This administration's blind eye to aggression »
What Carly can do
The field of Republican presidential candidates is extraordinarily impressive. Even so, Carly Fiorina stands out. She's the only woman and she has articulated her critique of the Democratic opposition with a special zest and bite. In his recent dispatch from New Hampshire, Jay Nordlinger dubs her "Carly the communicator." I am unsure what the premise of her candidacy for president is, but it seems to me at the least that »
This day in baseball history: The Reds hang in there against Koufax
The Cincinnati Reds didn't win the National League pennant in 1964; they finished a game behind the St. Louis Cardinals. Judged by run differential, however, they were the best team in the NL. The Los Angeles Dodgers struggled in 1964, a season in which they lost Sandy Koufax for a month and a half. However, they were the champion's of baseball in 1963. Thus, it wasn't surprising that, as they »
An anti-Trump smear and its aftermath
Yesterday, the Daily Beast smeared Donald Trump by suggesting that he raped his ex-wife Ivana. It justified digging up this ancient story on the theory that "Donald Trump introduced his presidential campaign to the world with a slur against Mexican immigrants, accusing them of being 'rapists.'" If Donald Trump committed rape, however long ago, there is no need to justify writing about it. The problem is that, from all that »

John Kerry's ugly warning to Israel
Secretary of State John Kerry has warned that if Congress rejects the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran, Israel will be blamed. "I fear that what could happen is if Congress were to overturn it, our friends Israel could actually wind up being more isolated and more blamed," Kerry told the Council of Foreign Relations. The question is: "more blamed" by whom? The answer, I think, is "more blamed" by »
Israel's choice
The Iran deal finances and otherwise facilitates Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons. It even sets up the United States and the other parties as protectors of Iran's nuclear program. Why would President Obama want to do that? He seems to believe that Iran should play the role of "a very successful regional power." If he believes that this is in the national interest of thee United States, he is a »
Kerry refuses to commit to follow U.S. law on sanctions
John Kerry testified today before the House Foreign Relations Committee about the Iran deal. I watched only a small portion of it. The debate, though very important, is becoming stale.

Brad Sherman, a Democrat from California, asked Kerry whether, if Congress disapproves of the agreement and overrides President Obama's veto of its disapproval, the administration would follow the law regarding what »

Putting the Senate on Cruz Control?
Last night I watched on C-SPAN the Senate roll-call vote on the transportation bill amendment to reinstate the Export-Import Bank, and it passed by a vote of 69-28.

Ted Cruz on the Important Question: Kirk v. Picard
Ted Cruz has upset some of the usual "cultured despisers" (a phrase that I have traced back to sociologist Peter Berger in the 1960s, incidentally, though it may have earlier origins [UPDATE: It was Schleiermacher—I should have tried out that Google thing]) by asserting in the New York Times Magazine Sunday that Captain James T.

For the cost of all the fake breasts at the Spice Route Asian Bistro + Bar you could buy a house. Or build one out of breasts.
Most of the clientele look like they've spent the day yelling over the stock trading floor. And now they're spending their leisure time talking to their friends and hollering at the opposite sex under a piped-in, orange-lit waterfall and ceiling-mounted flat screens looping nature videos and Jet Li flicks. On Thursday nights the crowd keeps their suits on. On Fridays, they're stripped down, tightened up and on the prowl. Women, rolling four deep, parade around the bar, through the elevated dining area and back around while men rubberneck. The big room is in constant motion, like an insect hive. The mouths are all smiles but the eyes are squinty and suspicious.
Like in half of Chinatown, you can find excellent versions of westernized Asian dishes here. Though they will be twice the price. And only a third of the people have come here to eat.
Our server, as is the custom these days, explains how the menu works. We're to order a bunch of dishes and they will be brought to the table, in an order determined by the kitchen. It's a relief to have it explained because, as native Torontonians, we've never eaten in a Chinese restaurant before. Our server encourages us to "design our own feast." She uses the phrase twice. On a solo visit, my elbow is touched by the server no less than three times.
All the food is pleasing without ever being brilliant or daring. Chef Winlai Wong shows her precision with a red snapper, served whole, in a still-popping sauce. The fluffy, white flesh, perfumed with ginger, slides nicely off the rib cage as we pull at it with our chopsticks. Peking duck is usually the most expensive item on a menu. Here, it's pimped out for all its value as two separate dishes: $12 worth of lettuce-wrapped duck and chicken and $30 worth of crispy duck skins to fold into steamed wheat wraps with hoisin sauce. Each slice of duck skin has a nice, brittle edge with a soft underbelly of flesh and sweet fat. But if I wanted to overpay for exports from Nanjin, I'd buy a pair of Air Jordans.
A little fun is had with jamming expensive ingredients like mini Kobe burgers and deep-fried soft shell crabs inside little hamburger buns. But it's really in the application of heat where the kitchen shows its ability.
Wong's touch with chilies leaves our mouths just on the precipice of inflammation in crispy orange beef, swimming with threads of orange peel. Punchy kung pao chicken comes with the rattling, dried red peppers intact, camouflaging the sneaky grip of Szechuan peppers. Beads of sweat break out over the forehead as we dab at thin slices of sirloin (the dubiously named Mongolian beef).
Even a spicy bloody Caesar packs a frightening sting. It's commendable for a kitchen aimed at a western audience to maintain such a mature spice level. But, then, maybe they're catering to a demographic in need of assistance clearing their nasal cavities.
The unbelievably thin people here don't look like they ever eat, but subsist instead on freshly squeezed juice and ambition. Ready for the cheque, a barrel-chested pinstriped suit waves a golden credit card like a fibula bone. His date looks unimpressed.
No one seems to be eating dessert. But that doesn't stop us from tucking into a beautiful raspberry fudge brownie topped with mandarin segments and tangerine cream. Crisp nuggets of tempura banana are sauced with a little chocolate and homemade vanilla ice cream. A "lollipop" of white chocolate cheesecake crusted in coconut has the density of a candy apple.
Some people might not enjoy the sensation of passing through the radioactive decompression chamber that leads to Dr. No's hideout. Not me. I like the bathrooms. They reach the level of ostentation that the dining area tries for.
Between the oppressive, overhead, red light and the 10-foot-high window exposing patrons to a garden peopled with more sculptures and red lights, the washrooms are not ideal for aiding digestion or fixing your makeup.
But perhaps they were constructed with other activities in mind.
(And speaking of restaurant rest- rooms, we're still looking for feedback. Send stories or tips about the best and worst washrooms in the Toronto area to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please put Restaurant Restrooms in the subject line.)

Phone Hacking: News International Moves To Throw A Case Out of Court Rather Than Settle
The News Corp. subsidiary says case involving Elle Macpherson's former financial adviser Mary-Ellen Field has "no legal merit."
LONDON -- News International is trying for the first time to have a phone-hacking damages case thrown out of court rather than settle it.
The case involves Elle Macpherson's former financial adviser Mary-Ellen Field who is embroiled in a civil action against News International's The News of The World, a paper Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. closed in the wake of the phone hacking scandal.
A News International spokesperson declined to comment on the case.
News International is applying for a summary judgment against Field and will argue for her case to be struck out on the grounds it has no legal merit.
The publishing subsidiary's move comes despite repeated claims by Field that her life was destroyed after her phone was allegedly hacked by The News of the World.
According to a report in The Guardian, Field's claims – legally launched 18 months ago -- have never been publicly denied by Murdoch's subsidiary.
The Guardianreports it is believed that this is the first time News International has tried to have one of the numerous damages lawsuits relating to phone hacking struck out rather than settled.
But while this has not been denied, sources close to the action said it is unlikely to signal a change in strategy by News International in dealing with mounting costs and suits against the News Corp. division.
Field, when giving evidence to the Leveson inquiry into media ethics said here reputation had been "trashed" after MacPherson said she had leaked stories to the press about the supermodel.
Field was one of more than 60 individuals who took legal action against News International last year in the first tranche of cases at the high court.
Almost all were settled, including claims by actors Jude Law, Steve Coogan and singer Charlotte Church.
Field's case was among those held over for the second tranche of civil phone hacking cases, which now include at least 50 claims due to be heard next year.

Cheap and good food. I live opposite the place and order from there a lot. They used to good and delivered fast. That was until they hired someone new to take care of the phones. He is rude, arrogant and cant really speak english or hindi. There are 1000's of establishments just like this is dubai and most of them deliver. I warn everyone against ordering from here. The staff consists of uneducated men, who have never experienced power in their lives and use their meaningless jobs to go on power trips.

Cheap and cheerful little cafe on Beach Road just after the Iranian Hospital and if you live nearby they deliver within 15 minutes!! Excellent value and quality food if you choose carefully. Recommend the mixed grill which has a good selection of meat and comes with salad, bread and hummous- superb value at 25 dhs. Hot and sour soup is very good and the chicken lemon combo sandwich is a tasty bargain at 6dhs

@MikeTriplett Gleason's block washed away a bad year; Ambush washed away a spotty half; Porter's pick washed away DECADES of misery.
— Charles (@Ugarles) June 10, 2014
This is one of three nominations for the most memorable play in New Orleans Saints history. The others are Steve Gleason's blocked punt on the night the Superdome reopened following Hurricane Katrina and the "Ambush" onside kick to start the second half of Super Bowl XLIV. Please vote for your choice as the Saints' most memorable play.
Score: Saints 31, Colts 17
Date: Feb. 7, 2010 Site: Sun Life Stadium
While dissecting the candidates for the most memorable play in Saints history, some people suggested that Tracy Porter's game-clinching 74-yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIV wasn't as crucial as some others during that playoff run because the Saints would have won the game anyway.
And maybe that's true. The Saints were already leading the Indianapolis Colts 24-17, with 3:24 remaining and the Colts facing a third-and-5 on New Orleans' 31-yard line.
But it sure didn't feel like the game was anywhere close to being clinched at the time -- not with the ball in the hands of one of the NFL's all-time greatest quarterbacks, Peyton Manning.
What made Porter's pick even more remarkable was the fact he beat Manning at his own game -- winning a battle of wits based on countless hours of film study. Porter aggressively jumped in front of receiver Reggie Wayne to steal the ball after instantly recognizing the play when he saw fellow receiver Austin Collie going into motion. Porter said the Saints' coaching staff had prepared them all week for a certain play the Colts liked to run in that situation, and when it happened, it looked just like he was watching it on film.
Porter then sprinted untouched 74 yards for the touchdown, needing only one key block from defensive end Will Smith against Manning to clear his path. And the reaction from the Who Dat Nation everywhere from Sun Life Stadium to bars on Bourbon Street to living rooms throughout the Gulf South was unforgettable. It's the only moment in Saints history that can truly be described as a Super Bowl-winning play.
To strengthen Porter's case, he also played the role of game-clinching hero two weeks earlier when he intercepted a Brett Favre pass to force overtime in the NFC Championship Game after the Minnesota Vikings had entered scoring territory. In fact, some of the people suggesting Porter's Super Bowl pick shouldn't be the No. 1 play in Saints history were trying to argue for Porter's other all-time great clutch moment instead.
