BondFanatic posted a topic in Theater[I]Several years in the future. The world is not at peace. Many wars have been waged by many nations. World leaders are assasinated and replaced almost weekly. Their replacements are often corrupt, thus they are killed as well. The world as we know it today has ceased to exist. Many of the world's biggest cities are in states of constant anarchy. Various organizations roam the world as scavengers, pirates or simply murderers. Most of the world lives in a constant state of fear, knowing that their next breath will most likely be their last. But, there are several so-called "clean spots" around the globe. These "spots" are lightly populated due to the unsafe journey to them, but they offer a safe haven to anyone who successfully makes the trip. Their defenders are a mix of various soldiers. Former Green Berets, MI6 agents, Israeli Intelligence. Their affiliations no longer matter. They are of one group. The group has no name. The only words associated with it are "Identity Zero". The rumors say that it's the name of their leader. Or the name of their plan to take over the world. No one knows. Only the members of Identity Zero know the truth. They are an elite brotherhood, and their secrets are kept tight. Up until now, Identity Zero has kept the survivors safe. But now, someone has united the scavengers, the pirates and the murderers into one group. Slowly, this group of barbaric attackers spreads over the land like a plague. Their leader is rumored to be a former member of Identity Zero. The leader is simply known as "Game". He is rumored to have left Identity Zero for psychological reasons. The rumors say that a clean spot he was guarding was overrun, and the occupants murdered savagely before his eyes. The bloodshed caused him to go insane, thus causing him to leave the organization and turn against it. Now, Game's group is targeting the last few clean spots on Earth. Identity Zero knows he is coming, and they have since Game left the organization. But they do not know how large the threat is. They do not know when it is coming. But they are prepared to defend against it.[/I] [B]Okay. So, basically, you're a soldier of a loosely confederated group defending the last survivors of the wars. Name: Age: Gender: Appearance: Bio: Organization: (What real world intelligence/special forces unit was he/she from. Please list a real organization. If you need a list, please tell me.)

Specialties: (What your character excels at. Rate one specialty at level 3, the highest, one at level 2, and one at level 1, the lowest.) a. Combat - (Something that actively involves fighting, such as sharpshooter training, CQC, etc.) b. Non-Combat - (Something indirectly involved with combat, such as stealth, vehicle repair, etc.) c. Miscellaneous - (Something that has nothing to do with combat whatsoever, such as culinary skill, computer hacking, etc.) [/B] And here's mine. Name: Jason Portamus Age: 35 Gender: Male Appearance: Jet black hair, blue eyes, gray shirt, flak jacket, black pants, combat boots Bio: Was originally part of the Green Berets. Disappeared after a failed mission. Mission failure cause unknown, although signs point to beauraucratic bickering over planning.

BondFanatic replied to Boo's topic in TheaterWhy did you bump a topic two years old?
BondFanatic replied to Engel's topic in General DiscussionThe only way you'll find out is if you ask her out. Just go for it. If she says no, than don't worry about it. It sounds like you two are really good friends, and if she turns you down, I don't think it'll affect it.
BondFanatic replied to ChibiHorsewoman's topic in Noosphere[B]The $1,000,000 Phobia Challenge (Sucks, I know)[/B] Each contestant is given one week to complete a list of challenges. They cannot recieve help from anyone, and they've got ten challenges to do. Before the show, each tells the producers their phobias, and as it turns out, each of their challenges involves their phobias. For instance, acrophobia - the fear of heights: someone has to climb up a skyscraper with only a harness and rope and retrieve a flag or something. Then they need to hook themselves into a parachute and jump off the building. Whoever hasn't wussed out by the end of the week goes onto the Final Phobia round, where they are subjected to the ultimate challenge, which includes elements from all ten of their challenges. Winner gets $1,000,000. If everyone wusses out, then no one gets the money.
BondFanatic posted a topic in General DiscussionI'm not sure if a lot of you remember me,but yeah, I'm back. I've taken a break for MBing for a while, and now that it's summer, I've got the time. Can anyone fill me in as to what's happened in the past six months? I'd like to get reacquainted with the board that got me started on MBing. Any flame wars, major administration changes, etc.?
BondFanatic replied to Brasil's topic in Noosphere[size=1]Woo, I'm back![/size] I saw only the beginning of this movie. It was hilarious beyond belief. The part with [spoiler]the teacher saying all the things about the boy in the flashback in the beginning was funny.[/spoiler] Also [spoiler]the "The Chood" subway sign[/spoiler] was the greatest gag ever!
BondFanatic replied to Oji ryu's topic in General DiscussionI've found that sitting outside and watching the rain fall is very calming. Because of that, I find rainy days enjoyable.
[i]Several hours later, on a jumbo jet, Janitov Guberovski sat in first class, sipping a glass of champagne. He had been able to stow his pistol in his pack with a fake police commission. So far, there had been no problems. He was just preparing to lie down and sleep when his pager vibrated. He pulled it out and read the message. "Change of plns. Leave plane. Pickup on way."[/i] [b]Stewardess[/b]: Sir, please put the pager away. [b]Janitov[/b]: Sorry. Can I please speak to the captain? [b]Stewardess[/b]: Sure. [i]As the stewardess walked away, Janitov reached into his pack and pulled a small black box from inside. He stuffed it under his seat and pressed a button. The box gave a small beep, and Janitov straightened up. He walked into the cockpit and, after closing the door, raised his gun. Pulling the trigger twice, he killed both captain and pilot, and walked out of the cockpit. As the plane began to dip, several people began to scream, and the stewardess ran down the aisle. She was stopped dead as Janitov fired his gun, putting a bullet clear through her head. He then turned and grabbed his backpack and strapped it to his back. He raised his gun again and shot the window. As the plane depressurized, the entire left side of first class was ripped from the plane. Janitov jumped towards the hole and flew out of the plane. After he was clear of the wings, he pulled a cord on his pack and a parachute flew out, slowing his fall. After he had been falling for a few seconds, Janitov pulled a small remote from his pocket and pressed the button. He watched the plane fall for a moment, and pressed the button again. Just before the plane hit the water, an explosion ripped through what was left of the first class cabin, sending a ripple of explosions along the side of the plane.[/i] [b]Janitov[/b]: They just had to put my seat near a fuel line, didn't they? [i]After the wreckage of the plane had floated below the water, Janitov pulled another cord on his chute, and a small light began blinking. He watched on the horizon as a small black shape began moving towards him.[/i]
OOC: Sorry, didn't notice the IC post. [i]Enter an unknown city, somewhere in Asia. The rain was falling hard and fast, and the streets were close to empty. The few people that were in the streets were walking fast and not paying attention to anything else. Because of this, no one noticed a man in a trenchcoat with a pack on his back walk out of a rundown shop. He was wearing gloves and a black mask. The man's hair was covered by a black cloth. With the rain falling in sheets, no one noticed him slip a silenced pistol into his trenchcoat. He walked several blocks up the street and popped the lock on a door. Inside, there was a small light at the top of a staircase. He walked up the stairs, stepping lightly as to not alert his target to his presence. As he neared the top of the stairs, the source of the light was revealed. A man was watching a small t.v., with a laptop computer to his side. The man snuck up behind his target and grabbed him around the throat and mouth. The man struggled, but fell limp as the silenced pistol was smashed against the side of his head. The man laid the body out on the floor and pulled a towel from his back. He laid it underneath the man's head, and raised his pistol. With a single pull of the trigger, a small hole appeared in the man's forehead. The man pulled a pair of tweezers from his pack and poked into the hole. He pulled the bullet out, and put it into his pocket. Next, he pulled out a digital camera and took a picture of the man's face and plugged the camera into the computer. He typed in a certain email address and sent the picture with a message - Job done. After he finished sending the email, he pulled the computer from the wall and stuffed it into his pack. He walked out of the building and threw his sack into the bed of a truck waiting across the street. He pulled a tarp off of the bed, uncovering a crate marked "HE". He threw the backpack onto the crate and walked away. When he was several blocks away, the man pulled a remote from his other pocket and extended the antenna. He pressed the single button on the remote, and waited. Moments later, a tower of orange flame lit up the night sky, and car alarms could be heard for blocks. The man flagged down a taxi and got in.[/i] [b]Taxi Driver[/b]: Aah, Mr. Guberovski. I take it everything went well? [b]Janitov[/b]: Yes. Take me to the airport. We're going to Cuba next.
BondFanatic replied to DarK DeatH's topic in Creative WorksIs that the original RX-78-2 Gundam? If it is, the shoulder armor is a little too high. If you use this image in other banners, take that into consideration. Otherwise: 9.9/10.

BondFanatic replied to Corey's topic in General DiscussionI've had a concussion before. My brother was spraying bug spray on the floor. I didn't know, and I was standing up. I slipped, my head hit the tile, and I was out cold for 6 hours. EDIT: Forgot to say. This was only a few days ago.
BondFanatic replied to a topic in General DiscussionI'm deathly scared of heights and have been since I was 6. I was riding my bike and lost control. I fell down a very steep hill and broke my leg and both arms. I was incapacitated for weeks. :( :(

At last here it is. Snapseed has quickly become one of the most downloaded photo editors and it's time to put our hands -and pics- on it. One of the first features that will catch your eye is that it's dazzling fast, allowing previews just by playing with sliders. Secondly, it makes full use of the new Android user interface, mostly controlled by up-down and left-right swipes and little tiny icons at the squares. That can be quite unthankful, because changing on screen buttons for gestures may seem cool, but it's rather unintuitive. Likewise, overall design works great on tablets the bigger the better, but it may be clumsier in devices with not so large screens. Anyway, it's all about playing with it for a while before trying to impress your friends with a photo just taken. In exchange, it allows an extremely precise degree of control.
Snapseed doesn't bring any relevant new filter to filter-land and surprisingly there isn't a zoom in feature. What you will find instead are some serious features regarding cropping and tilt-shift.
In the end, a free from beginning to end app, perhaps a little bit advanced to running times. Hardcore mobile photographers will love it, while the rest will have to reconcile with not-so-trendy yet more pragmatic photo editors.

It's not easy to find Miss Loh's Guesthouse. But once you do, you are just about to enter the house of nirvana and something that you never experienced before. No doubts, the most unique and charismatic place I've slept so far in Southeast Asia (see the video).
Miss Loh is running the place for over 30 years and by it's looks – nothing has been changed since, although travelers still keep coming. I've noticed the weird thing, most of the residents were living there longer than 6 months, in general not doing much apart from reading, playing cards, eating fresh fruits from the garden and visiting the beach occasionally. I wouldn't be surprised to see such a picture on the movie or to read in some adventure novel.
Without hesitation I decided to stay in Teluk Bahang for at least two nights and during that time, apart from decent swim in deserted beaches I managed to do 5 hour trekking in a National Park jungle and climbed up to the old lighthouse on the big hill.
I will be always grateful to the destiny for taking me in front of the gates of Miss Loh's Guesthouse.

Outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban fended off social media criticism on Thursday for his "bigoted" response when asked at a business conference to address the controversy over banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
Overcoming bigotry requires acknowledging internal prejudices, Cuban said in a video-recorded interview shown on Wednesday at the GrowCo convention hosted by Inc magazine.
"If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, I'm walking to the other side of the street. And if on that side of the street, there's a guy that has tattoos all over his face - white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere - I'm walking back to the other side of the street," he said in the interview that was posted on the Internet.
Critics said his "hoodie" reference recalled the 2012 shooting of unarmed, black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt when he was fatally wounded in a struggle with a man who said he feared for his life.
Cuban defended his views on Twitter, saying that his quotes were not meant to advocate racism.
"The point was that before we can help others deal w racism we have to be honest about ourselves," Cuban wrote in a tweet.
Fellow NBA owner Sterling was banned for life from the sport and fined $2.5 million after a recording of him surfaced where he made comments about race that included telling his girlfriend not to bring black people to his team's games.

I informed her it is easy, and it is but it took me ten many years to learn all the small things to get it working. I went down many darkish rabbit holes trying to discover how to get websites to function properly and indexed by the lookup engines. I utilised many website designs by GT Marcom programs in my search for the perfect 1. I tried Dreamweaver, very complex, FrontPage, too numerous issues with the code, free programs, once more too many problems. With the introduction of PHP coding, it got even more complex.
An expert website design group is going to assist you to be in a position to get organised and get your site up and running the way that it needs to be. They are going to help you to see the large picture by showing you the very best way to organise your website.
The eating is excellent. Gold and Platinum Service travellers meals are served in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant. This consists of full breakfasts, two-course lunches and three-course dinners. There is also the Outback Explorer Lounge; this is ideal for socialising with your fellow travellers, relaxing, reading or just taking pleasure in the surroundings.
Of program, you're not. Becoming the loudest, the brightest, the busiest and the boldest may entice interest, but it does not bring revenue. That's something to remember when you're making your personal business website. What DOES entice and keep new customers coming back? A simple, tasteful web design. An easily navigable website. Duplicate that's crisp, clean, and refreshing.
As an internet marketer, you require to firstly entice these individuals to your website or sales web page; then you need to convince them that your business opportunity is far exceptional to anything else they may have noticed. Then, you need to convince them to spend their cash with YOU.
A key to lookup motor optimisation is to consist of a site map. This will make it easier for spiders to crawl on your site. A big website might require more than one site map. It is important to maintain a number of hyperlinks per map to under one hundred.
This deserves its personal post (and it'll get 1), but for now, just unwind, and read everything written over. If you can speak with your web designer and check off all the containers above, you'll have a website that search engines and surfers alike will appreciate.

Remains of the Day: Meredith Viera Gets Frisky
- The first official "Today Show" portrait with new anchor Meredith Viera features Meredith making a b-line for Matt Lauer's crotch. [Perez Hilton]
- Maggie Gyllenhaal recently claimed casting agents told her early in her career she wasn't "beautiful or sexy enough" to be a successful actress. I guess this is a typical case of people in the movie industry being completely off-base about something. [SG]
- Fake Beckhams are roaming around the streets of London to promote David and Victoria's new fragrance. Disturbing. [Towerload]
- Lance Bass dished about his first public date with boyfriend Reichen Lehmkuhl. "He took me out to a really nice dinner the other night at the Hotel Bel-Air." I bet I know who picked up the check. [TMZ]
- The next installment of CBS's reality hit "Survivor" will allegedly divide teams up according to skin color. Because segregation is so hot nowadays? [Jossip]
- Pink's hair may be a hot mess, but her kick ass abs really distract from her head. [Teddy & Moo]

In the aftermath of the shootings in Arizona on Saturday, several of MPR's social networking efforts have been collecting your reaction. Here are some of the more compelling comments we've received.
MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Archives for January 10, 2011
Two people died in the August 2009 crash.
After the World Trade Center towers collapsed, Roy Chelsen spent weeks sifting through the wreckage. His friends say that's what caused the cancer that killed him last night.
Aside from jobs, term limits seems to be an emerging issue.
There seems to be little question the shooter in Arizona was mentally ill. So why isn't there more discussion about treatment for mentally ill people?
How often do people survive an attack on the brain, you are the editor, how depth begins with 140 characters, embracing winter or at least faking it, the death of Maj. Winters.

'Hocus Pocus 2′ Summons Tina Fey for More Witchy Shenanigans [Debunked]
What's the prophesy, again? If a virgin lights the black-flame candle on All Hallow's Eve, Sarah, Winnie and Mary will rise up from the grave. Well, Tina Fey may not have lit any sketchy candles (that we know), but the gestating 'Hocus Pocus 2' has reportedly enlisted the comedienne to bring her magic touch to this beloved film for another go.

Pinning a site to the taskbar is very simple:
- Tear off a tab, and drag it to the taskbar OR
- Drag the favicon from the address bar in Internet Explorer to the taskbar.
The module uses javascript Pinned Site API and special HTML meta tags to make the site Pinned.
Detailed information about Pinned Site API is located at Pinned Sites Developer Documentation.

Information Acquisition, Moral Hazard, and Rewarding for Bad News
Hector Chade (Arizona State University)
Economic Theory Seminar
Toulouse: TSE, May 24, 2011, 11:00–12:30, room Amphi S
Hector Chade (Arizona State University), "Information Acquisition, Moral Hazard, and Rewarding for Bad News", Economic Theory Seminar, Toulouse: TSE, May 24, 2011, 11:00–12:30, room Amphi S.
This paper analyzes a principal-agent problem with moral hazard where a principal searches for an opportunity of uncertain return, and hires an agent to evaluate the options available. The agent's effort affects the informativeness of a signal about an option's return. Based on the information provided by the agent, the principal decides whether to accept the option at hand. We derive the optimal contract in the static and dynamic versions of the model. We show sometimes the agent is rewarded for delivering `bad news' about the quality of an option. We characterize distortions (relative to the first-best case) on the implemented effort level and the optimal stopping decision. Also, we study the dynamics induced by the optimal contract.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
With the 29th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected Dominique Easley. Easley is an immense talent who's draft stock slipped beacause of two ACL injuries in college. All reports indicate that he is healthy and will be ready to go to start the season.
Some scouts have compared Easley to Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins. Like Atkins, Easley is explosive off the ball, and is a potent inside rusher from the three-technique. If his health checks out during training camp, it wouldn't be a stretch to project Easley in the starting lineup on opening day next to Vince Wilfork.
While the health concerns are real, Easley was simply too tempting to pass up on. Bill Belichick was VERY high on Easley, and history of drafting defensive linemen in the first round is remarkable. The round has produced Richard Seymour, Ty Warren, Vince Wilfork, and Chandler Jones during the Belichick era. If Easley can stay healthy, he's going to be a beast on the defensive line for years to come.
Rounds two and three of the draft will take place this evening, and the Patriots have a pick in each round. Today will likely be a day that we'll see the Patriots be aggressive on the trade front. Rumors about Ryan Mallett possibly being traded to Houston are only going to intensify after the Vikings jumped the Texans to select Teddy Bridgewater.
Look for the Patriots to absolutely draft a tight end today. Only one was selected in the first round, and they should have plenty of options in the second round, and may even be in play to trade up for one.
Quarterback is another position that could be addressed today (especially if a Mallett trade happens). Someone like AJ McCarron could be an option in the third round.
Interior offensive line is another position to watch out for. If Weston Richburg from Colorado State is available with the 62nd pick, look for his name to be called by the Patriots.

Japanese tech giant Kyocera has teamed up on M2M with Norway's Telenor Connexion, saying the new partnership will mainly address opportunities in the burgeoning connected-car market.
The companies provided few details of the collaboration but said it would bring together Kyocera's expertise in developing M2M modules with Telenor Connexion's experience of providing connectivity and managed services.
Although the "premium car segment" is the primary area of interest, the new partners said they are also interested in developing telematics and on-board units for intelligent transport systems.
Smart metering, telemetry, telehealth and security could also attract their attention.
Kyocera (Kyoto, Japan) said a goal of the tie-up was to help original equipment manufacturers reduce time to market and develop "future-proof and easy-to-integrate" connectivity solutions.
"By partnering with Telenor Connexion [Stockholm, Sweden], Kyocera is leveraging its extensive experience in deploying connectivity solutions around the world and in a number of industries," said Toshiki Kawaguchi, an executive officer from Kyocera's telecoms equipment group.
"By combining Kyocera's superior M2M modules for high-speed data connections with Telenor Connexion's secure and future-proof end-to-end solutions, we will help potential customers to create M2M solutions for their specialized applications and to facilitate passage of Telenor's test requirements," added Kawaguchi.
Telenor Connexion has largely focused on the automotive sector and says the deal with Kyocera will "pave the way for speeding up LTE adoption in M2M".
While a number of M2M services can make do with 2G and 3G technology – and benefit from the lower costs of the more established technologies – the connected-car segment is ripe for the deployment of 4G LTE given the need to 'future proof' vehicles and the range of infotainment services consumers are now demanding.
The tie-up with Kyocera is Telenor Connexion's second high-profile deal in Japan in the past few months.
In May, the company flagged an agreement to provide M2M roaming services to KDDI, Japan's second-biggest mobile operator.

Rayman Legends Trailer and Screens Deliver Some Mariachi Madness
Written Thursday, May 02, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
If there's anything guaranteed to put a spring in your step and a smile on your face, it's Survivor's Eye of the Tiger. But deliver it in a mariachi style and slap a bit of characterful platforming on the top and you'll be jumping for joy and smiling from ear to ear. Almost.
And look! That's exactly what Ubisoft has done with this latest Rayman Legends trailer. Taking place in the game's Mexican fantasy "Fiesta de los Muertos" world, it's a candy coloured fever dream. Right up there with the Black Betty trailer released while the game was still Wii U exclusive, it's another excuse to be charmed by Michel Ancel's latest.
Rayman Legends is out on August 30th in Europe and September 3rd in North America.

I especially enjoyed the free walk. It was on my first day and I met quite a few people I connected with over the next few days. It provided a great orientation to the area around the hostel. I also enjoyed my four-woman dorm accommodation. My roommates were quiet, friendly and thoughtful. I loved the location. It was close to public transportation, there was a convenience store opposite and plenty of nearby restaurants. I was looking forward to the biking the bridge tour, but it was cancelled because of rain. It turned out well because I biked the bridge independently with another woman from the hostel on a beautiful sunny day. We asked for the hostel discount at Blazing Saddles and paid $18 instead of $32. The dorm was warm, but thankfully we had a room facing the street and could open the window. The price is likely competitive for San Francisco, but with the exchange rate of USD to Canadian Dollars, paying $92.46 CAD isn't good value for one night in a hostel dorm.
The facilities were nice and clean and the staff was always helpful
great location, nice and helpful staff a bit noisy and messy in the pit, room not clean enough, too many people sharing bathrooms.
I met some cool people at the Amsterdam Hostel, including the guests and staff.
The room is very comfortable and the location and transport is very nice. I loved it. Thank You for everything. The bed is too high, extremely high!!!!!!!!! I slept afraid to fall down on the ground!!! And there is not stairs!!! Please could you solve this.
good location free wifi security is good because person has card only enter hostel and own room room is dirty There are little cockroaches in the kitchen.
Breakfast Had to change the room every day
It was close to very good public transport and Union square and Chinatown. The hostel offered quite a bit tours and maps. Breakfast is uncluded and other services like internet or telephone, for a small price in case you don't have a laptop for the free wifi. Not very clean on the borders of the bath, but for such a low price, it was really not bad!
Good location and price.
The thing I like the most about this hostel is the price. Too cold, thin blanket
The staff here are very friendly and very informative. they gave us a lot of information about where to go and what to eat around here. the stay was enjoyable. We were able to meet with people all around the world who came to san francisco for visit. over all, nice stay. we lived in a dorm room with different people. if you are not a dorm person, i would suggest to rent your own room. the door of our bath room were broken and later, the nob of the shower disappeared, but we just needed to call the staff and they fixed it right away.
The kichen in the under ground floor
Location is great, overall quality is good the beds are not quite comfortable. It would be better to have a free locker in the room. Currently the locker is provided, but extra money is required to purchase a lock...
Location, price and breakfest
Good position. Free lockers in the rooms. Room not very clean. It was not possible to keep the window open. There are lokers in the rooms, but the hostel don't provide locks. The wireless worked well only the first out of three days. The light in the toilet was flashing, they didn't repair it even after I reported the problem.
The staff is nice, and the price includes breakfast. The room was tiny, the area must be one of the worst in San Francisco. They charged mt debit card with an extra 50 dollars as depisir and I have to wait 3 days to get it back (if I get it back in the end). We parked in the next street, and when I went for the car in the morning, someone was looking into it. My friend saw that policeman were in a shop where blood was on the floor. Avoid this area.
Although this hotel was not far from the main Downtown area, it was not in an area that I would advise others to stay in. The room itself was not clean or spacious; it had a continual beeping from the smoke alarm which we were told could not be fixed. Frankly we felt unsafe and threatened in the short time we spent at the hotel - we moved out before even spending a night there.
The low price, of course! Really a pretty good value--very close access to everything, pretty quiet and easy to sleep, and the hallway bathrooms were remarkably clean! The area can be a bit sketchy late at night, so just be aware of surroundings. And I am not too crazy about the whole "bathhouse style" of towel exchange. Would much rather have a couple nice bath and hand towels in the room to start and go from there. Could also use a few more hooks and hangers in the rooms.
the location is near to cable car, but in the dark it' not really safe. the bath and toilet is not in the room, but clean
Near the center city Located in a noisy quarter and badly frequented.
nothing I have stayed 6 days. Nobody cleaned the room. But staf are friendly..
cheap need to put at least 4 bathroom/ shower . I noticed that there was only 2 shower room in each floor.
The position is 400 meters away from the center of San Francisco (Powel and Market st). The area is not so beatifull... If you are 2 or more guys there's non problem, but if you are one of two girls is not good for you to come back in the Hotel in the dark... The name is Pontiac Hotel, but I think that is better to call it an hostel. The room is not so big and the bed is not for 2 people, but for one ad a half. The towels and the bed is never been changed in the 5 days in witch we stayed there. The continental breakfast is only some muffins and fruit with a coffee.
The staff was very nice, very helpful; I get the feeling this is a family owned and run place, and that they keep an eye on things. Hall bathrooms and showers were kept very clean. While it is a very close in and convenient location to things, it is a little sketchy after dark. Be advised to stay aware of your surroundings. It is older and not fancy, so very popular witht the younger and international crowd because of the low cost. Not really a bad thing, though.
Friendly staff. Great location at walking distance of Powell station. I didn't know bathroom was shared, I found out once there. No house keeping, you have to take care of your bedroom.
rooms were decent. considering the area, it felt safe. Staff was friendly - nice people all of them. Location: There's a drug needle exchange across the street! Lots of homeless people all over the area. Loud screaming partying people could be heard from 6 - 9 pm every day!! No air conditioning. I stayed 5 nights, they don't clean the rooms! It's a budget room.
Lot's of young people speaking many languages, friendly staff. Limited toilet and shower facilities.
It was awesome! I stayed here for two nights after my lodging for a conference was over. I stayed to explore the city and I loved staying at this hostel. The staff was very friendly. The kitchen had a stove, fridge, and microwave.
Very clean, easy checkin, good wifi Had to leave the window open because the room was a bit stuffy, whcihbmeant it was really noisy. Sharing a toilet was fine, dunno about the shower room -but we didn't need that anyway.
Only price matters No AC facility if we ask they will ask us open windows and sleep. In the Bay Area we know how windy it is.bathrooms are not maintained well and it shared bathrooms. I was not able to more than 1 hour I paid the that rent and left the hotel.
The location was perfect. It is in the middle of the SF and everywhere important is just away in walking distance. The bed was really uncomfortable. They need to change those iron bunk beds with the wooden ones. And by the way, please put one more chair!
I liked going to sleep, so I could forget about where I was until I woke up. The hotel was surrounded by bums. The odor of the hotel was awful curry opening the window presented a urine odor from the alley The bed had springs that drove into your back or side,The walls were paper thin. I had to go home and shower after this stay
In-room Microwave, refrigerator, table No coffee machine or hot waterSmell weird in the beginningThe towels and curtains are not clean
Great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very basic.
To start the homeless sleep outside the so called "hotel". Pretty sure I witness a drug deal while walking to the hotel. Also the hotel didn't seem like one. It was more like a big house and the renters might leave there with smaller children. No parking included!!
Many interesting restaurants in the area. The room was 'clean' but smelled very bad of old, musty and food. I was traveling alone and did not feel safe in the neighborhood at night.
Value, staff The neighborhood, no way to adjust the temp in the room
I'm a traveler from Japan and this was the first time to use a hostel. This hostel has really nice facilities. I enjoyed good service. The place around the hostel was a little dirty and there was few clean restraurants. But it's okay because I could go to the market street easily from this hostel.

Full Report: Lee-Watanabe
By Victor Lee
Photos: Boram Park
In a ten-round non-title main event just over the featherweight limit, current Korean super bantamweight champion and OPBF #1 super bantam Jaesung Lee (16-3-2, 9 KOs) faced off against JBC #8 featherweight Takuya Watanabe (20-4-1, 8 KOs). Lee, having bested three Japanese opponents on their home turf in 2011 and 2012, hoped to add a fourth Japanese victim to his ledger last October in a bid for the vacant WBO Asia super bantamweight title. However, opponent Akihiko Katagiri proved tougher than expected, battling to a draw, and the title remained vacant.
In the meantime, Lee, who long occupied the OPBF #2 spot at super bantam, rose to the number one position upon former top contender Jhunriel Ramonal's defeat at the hands of champion Shingo Wake in Tokyo last October. Thus, while this day's bout against former WBC Youth lightweight champion Watanabe was billed as an eliminator for the OPBF super bantamweight title, it was more of a stay-busy fight for Lee, as Watanabe has not made the super bantam limit since 2008.
Watanabe, who lost on points to Hisashi Amagasa for the Japan Featherweight title in 2012, started off well in a crouch, keeping the slightly taller Lee off-balance with a fast, long jab behind his high guard. Lee, whose only losses came while campaigning in the United States against Mikey Garcia, Jorge Diaz, and Jesus Salvador Perez, employed good footwork, sounding out his opponent. Near the halfway mark both fighters exchanged straight rights to the body, and Watanabe drew a gasp from the crowd with powerful lefts to the body and an overhand right to the head, left hook to the body combination. While Watanabe continued to pump his solid jab in round two, Lee gauged the distance and struck back with no-motion lead left hooks to the noggin. After a collision of heads, Watanabe emerged with a horrible cut over the left eye, which bled profusely for the remainder of the bout, turning Lee's pure white trunks scarlet. Watanabe fought hard through the veil of red, reversing his previous combination to land the left hook to the body followed by a right cross, raising a patch of red under Lee's right eye.
In round three Lee struck gold, parrying Watanabe's lead and landing a lighting bolt long counter right, sending Watanabe down and turning him180 degrees (following the bout, this highlight would be shown over and over on national sporting news television throughout Korea). Tough as nails, a bloody Watanabe regrouped in round four, following his corner's advice to go to the body, and Lee responded with another counter right. After a prolonged doctor's check in round five, Watanabe—perhaps sensing the fight might be stopped due to his horrendous cut—came on strong, pinning Lee in the neutral corner with multiple left hooks and right swings over the top. Lee, a savvy veteran, fought well with his back to the ropes, rolling his shoulders, landing compact uppercuts and slipping out to one side. But Watanabe applied unrelenting pressure, turning Lee back into the ropes and blue corner and landing a booming overhand right and lefts to the body. Watanabe controlled the first half of round six with a left to the body and two sharp right counters to the head, but Lee struck back later in the round with short shots on the inside and a left uppercut to the head. Round seven followed a similar pattern, with Watanabe setting the pace early on with his jab, and Lee regaining momentum in the latter half with his stinging counter rights. Watanabe upped the pressure in round eight, throwing and landing plenty of double and triple left hooks to the body and head. The referee again stopped the bout for the ringside physician to conduct a lengthy examination of Watanabe's cut. With his consent the bout resumed, and Lee drew oohs and ahhs from the crown with a thunderous overhand right.
While Watanabe—fighting every round after the first behind a mask of blood—pressed forward to start round nine, Lee found his mark with left and right uppercuts on the inside. Regrouping after a retreat, Watanabe hustled Lee into a corner and landed a big overhand right and well-timed counter left hook. Lee began the final round on his bicycle, jabbing, moving and holding when Watanabe attempted to close the distance. As Lee skilfully staved off Watanabe's last ditch attempts to mix it up, even in the final round Watanabe's hard jab was effective. While Watanabe proved a game opponent in this thrilling dustup, Lee's ring generalship and dramatic knockdown in round three proved the deciding factors, as he was awarded the unanimous decision by tallies of 97-95, 97-93, and 97-95. Lee, reinvigorated by the prospect of his upcoming OPBF title challenge, rises to 17-3-2, 9 KOs. Watanabe, who came up just short in only his second bout outside Korakuen Hall, slips to 20-5-1, 8 KOs. OPBF super bantamweight champion Shingo Wake, a slick-punching southpaw who last month made short work of Japan-based Filipino Jovylito Aligarbes to chalk up his third defense, has until July 14 to defend against Lee.
In the supporting semifinal event, 6'2" Eunchang "The Oak" Lee (7-3, 3 KOs) met Jaehoon Lee (5-4-1, 3 KOs) to contest the vacant Korean super middleweight title previously held by Hyunil Kim and current OPBF super welterweight contender Kyungsuk Kwak. Both Lees came to rumble in pursuit of their first title belt. For The Oak, it was his second try, having lost a majority decision for the Korean middleweight title in April of last year against then-champion Sungdae Lee. On the other hand, for the thirty-something Jaehoon Lee, now a boxing gym owner, it was an ambitious first title shot, his third bout after over eight years of inactivity. Rounds one and two were close fought, action-packed sessions, with both fighters landing punishing leads and counters. In this battle of jabbers, by round three The Oak established his longer, rapier-like lead, thereafter controlling what became a one-sided affair. By the eighth round the come-backing gym owner's right eye was badly swollen, and The Oak mercifully sank him to the canvas with a blistering left body shot for the KO stoppage at 0:15.
In the lead-in to the main Korea vs. Japan event, local prospect Sungtak Joo (5-0-2, 1 KO) faced Shunsuke Fukushima (2-2-2, 1 KO) of Tokyo in a four round super lightweight bout. Joo, looking a size bigger than his Japanese counterpart, was out of the gate fast, dropping Fukushima in the neutral corner with a sharp left to the liver. The workmanlike Fukushima rebounded in round two, pushing forward indomitably to the urgings of his cornermen and landing multiple right uppercuts to the body. Joo quickly tired under this assault, and both fighters engaged in trench warfare. From distance Fukushima attacked with repeated one-twos, hanging out his jab as a range finder and lashing in straight rights with gusty exhalations, propelling Joo to the ropes several times. Fukushima came out with renewed confidence in round three, maintaining his basic strategy: one-twos from the outside, left and right uppercuts to the body on the inside. Joo retaliated in spurts with decent work inside as well. While Fukushima had his opponent ducking and holding in exhaustion early in the round, Joo finished strong, landing the cleaner hits for a unanimous decision win by scores of 39-38, 39-37, 39-36.
In a mismatch both on paper and in the ring, precision-punching Taeil Kim (5-0, 1 KO) wasted no time dispatching elongated Taeyoung Go (0-5-3) in two rounds of a six round super featherweight bout. After some spirited mix ups at ring center, Kim connected with a well-timed counter straight right, razing Go to the canvas. With his low left hand and head-first rushes, Go was wide open for Kim's surgical strikes. Kim controlled the distance well in round two, landing at will on the mystified Go, who could not see the punches coming and wisely remained on his stool at the beginning of round three. This was the first stoppage (TKO 2, 3:00) win for Kim, a pugilist to keep an eye on, and the first stoppage loss for Go, who boxes out of the same gym as former world title challenger Jihoon Kim.
In a six round middleweight bout, tough slugger Jooyoung Kim (2-0-1, 1 KO) set the pace from the opening round, pummelling out-boxer Wonyoung Jung (5-7, 3 KO) with combinations from all angles to pitch a near shutout victory by scores of 60-54, 60-54 and 59-55.
In what was named "Best Fight" of the afternoon, slight underdog Wooshin Kim (4-1-1, 2 KOs) spoiled the unblemished record of odds-on-favorite Jaehoon Lee (3-1, 3 KOs) in a clash of up-and-comers just above the super lightweight limit. After a closely contested opening round, Kim nailed Lee with a picture-perfect left hook to the head, blasting him to the ropes and following up with a myriad of punches prompting the referee to step in for the TKO at 1:27.
In a four round super lightweight encounter, Nakyul Park (3-2, 1 KO) sent debuting Kiduk Kim (0-1) to the canvas twice with left hooks to the head for the automatic KO stoppage at 0:52 of round two.

Mut and Merloni debate which QB should be starting for the 49ers.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
There will will say that debt debt quarterback is is. Deprive Wednesday. You know in the biggest. Biggest reason is. So our players are all pressured to. You know who is -- everybody hammering them for for the information so. I think in my mind that's that's direction we'll go. That is Jim Harbaugh out -- separate Cisco on the ruin the surprise for its Colin -- -- That's the quarterback and separate Cisco. 49ers fans 49ers players 49ers media NFL media patriot fans. On cap predict is the starter going fourth attempt to go 49ers bodily should be. Based on these last couple games shaking your head disagree yeah I do. I'd like to move when his maid -- a not sold there right now I just think that it's negative Jamal bar. A ton of credit from the ball to do. But I you know and people the other day week to bring it up the other popular vote Drew Bledsoe Tom Brady. It was it went 99 it went 889. It was 511. Was actually 990000. And that one you Embree took over there aren't going to. And -- I was on decline. -- -- and Alex Smith you can make the argument -- talked last year -- Jim Harbaugh you know Alex Smith. But is -- as him as a coach that's confident enemies -- can play a little bit better serviceable on this team. Eagles on the post season last year -- couple good games kaposi's now they lose. Then this year. When you look at army. He's replaced. Katie he's he's fifth in the league. In quarterback rating. K he is number one in the league in pass percentage 70%. And this whole yards per attempt that's a big stat and Kerry Byrne. We'll talk about a -- football fact he's tied for third with Matt -- in yards per attempt. That we talk about it could open up this offense. Guys seven point 98 yards per attempt. You know in Uga just turning now to -- -- -- and you all of them because she's had a couple of good games. You know I just think that it's it's a risky move out that I agree with. What for a friend what was so what is there not to agree with what what is Colin cap predict on against the bears at home -- and on the road against the saints that make you believe. He's not a company ready to -- quarterback for the San Cisco 49ers. Take Alex Smith out of for a second -- anything negative. Colin capita against two pretty damn good team now a defense has not terrific but that was on the road out dueled Drew Brees. In New Orleans. He beat the bears to -- bloody -- a week app for two weeks after we're asking Peter King is it fair to compare this bears defense. The bears defense 1985 while I mean you know what his cap predict on where you should say it would it take the back take outs with out of what is -- not. What does he do that -- Alex Smith knew what was happening do that Alex Smith can't do vice -- the two games -- watch and what bolt of closely. Experience -- does every means nothing to everything. Well everything what it Joseph breeze to five touchdowns that game three it was all players -- -- the 49. Okay what -- put up 31 boys don't count towards real touchdowns OK so he put up seventeen points in four quarters against one of the worst defense in football. Is that blowing you away he just light up the saints. Get to return for touchdown. It's it's every time to it would Tom Brady took over -- Ben Roethlisberger took over. -- rookie quarterback or young quarterback. What are you asking him to do go out there protect the football right make right decisions. Have you ever seen that team turned a ball over to a young quarterback and I -- -- a rookie quarterback is settled on battling oh okay. How many years -- against you start. Even start any until I believe the Chicago -- -- ago. Young quarterback still rookie quarterback in my mind as an organization last year OK how many times they turn the ball over to a young quarterback. To open it -- Big guy that can protect the football. In his built around your team. Why did you say what has he done do you know that he is better I mean that you feel the same way when Tony rolled jumped in that Dallas. Starting job. Wallace as the jet -- hopes of Bledsoe went down. Enroll more please let's correct well I houses they have started when when he jumped in some Wallace got the -- after cup which you target -- -- all -- probably as well. Overall -- from -- they threw like a sixty or touched on the first game right any time we find out about. Make stupid mistake that he's good but -- -- playoff game. K and here's the one thing -- The one -- and Alex Smith had his five turn over five interceptions and has heroic moment passes this year in the -- probably -- the ball starting quarterbacks in the league has played many games yet Alex Smith -- whatsoever is five interceptions and 217 passer and start now they get bumped by the by the giants last year. He -- worst game this year about the giants as -- -- maybe he feels when he looks at it you'll against. If you do game plan in build against teams you gotta go through. Bibby looks and says you know what if we ever faced the giants again on the strokes with -- went the -- being able to move around and avoid the pressure -- -- he -- -- got a better chance. But I think it's a big risk. I don't think it was one that really need to be taken place -- bills from east say that if someone who and it would ultimately not washed every single 49ers can every single Alex Smith throw everything they resume capita throw. In this case -- special circumstance. Hardball is a quarterback in this league right he was eat played the position. He has had the benefit of watching every single Alex Smith -- Capra -- practice. In their career. And he is making in my opinion the judgment that cap predict is better for this team and another little piece here. Has anyone heard 11. 49ers player. On -- off the records say you know what. This is not fair to Alex Smith. -- and Smith -- -- got control esteem as they know all Harbaugh is rightly you're the one person thinks that they make in the wrong call I don't -- a whole forty -- team -- the only person that academic and a wrong call I don't hear -- many people -- I know separatist before and had a fair doesn't like it. So mean and the only people on Ireland yes -- this carries. Very small island artists of -- -- bottle agrees to hear but everybody our rankings into gave Soledad verdict and now. Really. Called capita for two games that's -- he's the answer. I -- like. Did you ever training wheels on your bike is for cute as -- furlong W we you guys that like it to you to change your mind with every single day in life. Because you among the most emotional guys in the world you pick what team is good one week that needle that they can win the next week they call -- is great and then next week -- -- those two picks. Is that Davis was direct call now in this case I believe that Jim Harbaugh is Smart coach balls I do so and the 49ers have not said. Jack -- he's got control auto off the record about this so I think that his team believes the right choice. Notably quiet about it don't -- team and -- jets you think Jim Harbaugh as it was so why it's hard by doing this then now confuse. Why is Harbaugh doing it. And Jim -- why is Jim Harbaugh do what you think she's better. So is so that all everybody should just -- -- could ever she's all the encouragement and I trust now the if you if you thought I was doing this for different reason than he thinks is the best move for his team. And there's some other -- liar he elected you told me you thought was the contract maybe Alex Smith just pissed off for some reason I don't know maybe it's personal I don't know. I have all I know is that I got a quarterback in my team that's leading the NFL in in in percentage completion percentage. That is in the NFL. In quarterback rating that is third in the NFL in yards per attempt. -- that everybody thinks is extremely important. I'm gonna sit there and say this guy is not get the job done. Our political rookie comic team that a quarterback question marks -- when a super ball or not and I'm gonna hand it over to a rookie to open it up. And and there aren't even more question marks because get a few weeks everybody thinks all of a sudden he's a great quarterback he could be great quarterback. There's no question about it Annika would -- -- inseparable. If they don't. You'll be looking back getting sadness and while it took a big rest debated -- need to take -- it's you you asked -- couple times before the show yesterday do you like the move before yeah because I think Harbaugh is putting it in his at least in his mind. Is putting his team in the best place to -- safe choice -- training wheels choice -- Would have been get Alex Smith back in there. Would have been Alex Smith your back is the quarterback because it's worked before and it's the safe play. -- predict absolutely is a gamble. But apart -- -- it gives his team the best chance to win I can be behind that under try to put myself as the 49ers -- what is broken what team what Aggies in the best chance to -- -- I trust my coach to. Let Brady continue to quarterback at the end of the year or put in Bledsoe because he quarter report early in the right he was good back in the day. It's completely it's awful argument because is no comparison. Drew Bledsoe was not doing what Alex Smith is doing right now at the end of that year patriot Brady's ankle banged up Bledsoe helping Bledsoe track record of a -- in pretty good quarterback and at the best are pretty good. They -- the Brady. There was a decision -- for a week leading up the Super Bowl. Right you -- -- was gonna play Brady Bledsoe of and rubella checked it was best -- he was loyal to -- -- because I have to Harbaugh just. Drew Bledsoe was never in -- success. And the patriots weren't -- the success under Bledsoe like the 49ers have been having this success. Under Alex Smith. It's not broken. What the hell are we trying to fix. It's not fixing it's getting the most out of your team and I think that. I trust Harbaugh ought to do that I respect the hell out of him for doing that you are restricted to his balls remote -- a lot of you are -- team. That plays safe training wheels or goal for a little -- -- we can be better. We can be a better team with -- -- quarterback can also make more mistakes. There when he keeps saying more mistakes. Who has a better interception percentage this year. We're gonna go through day he took -- while all -- is -- was -- seventy it's 74 camps -- almost half the attempt for -- Nikki on seven report I didn't. Smith has thrown at 214. And every pervert to -- fourteen snaps -- -- pass attempt it's five picks for. Five interceptions for Smith. Okay yet to be 350 attempts per capita get to -- -- -- -- I think he's not gonna make mistakes B keep -- in this this tricky he's going to make mistakes. We're based on so far a better interception Burnett it's -- -- Alex Smith his first five games 216 passes only -- one pick. It's very good okay well we're gonna we gonna go small sample -- -- -- higher a year until he threw three and -- -- it is all your giants ops and you'd see him. That's small sample the entire year vs -- predict -- bald guys season's complete seasons -- You're taking two games from calling cap panicking at telling me amused and a smaller sample what I use six. Two games and called -- -- gonna start giving me peace is about exceptions on a year you'd be here in interceptions per completion or given to establish -- for two years for two games he started to set well tell me obvious and it's finally here. At 200 it has by the end of the year will be able to compare the they're on pace you have a better percentage nobody has -- nobody I Smith has been that nobody has. Smith has been outstanding this year what they asked him to do. Good. What they asked him to do. -- -- can't build -- deep ball -- somehow he's third in the league in yards per attempt to the out of completion completing 70%. Of his passes. You gonna go into games and called rapper nick -- and elevate him to wait a whole another level I'm putting the trust in Harbaugh okay. That's what you're doing here is he doing the best thing for east team do you believe he's doing -- bit like trying to do otherworldly. I was trying to OK and I just don't agree with them you agree with Jim Harbaugh. By and I don't. You think it's Super Bowl or bust you criticize Harbaugh if they don't get -- which is a risk of down in Washington you know when his World Series and Rick criticize you for shut down Strasburg. -- 61777979837. Joe's in Portland Joseph you're next up a month -- -- Hey guys what's up -- -- -- spirited conversation that's where you're four. I on this one guys like me here me out because I'm gonna bring up a couple points on. You know Alex they're pretty well and like he sent little we've all seemed to get into the cabinet but what I liked about Japanese. He can scramble out of the pocket and roll I think Alex may have been a little. Site at that time in the pocket. And we also better America. Now you know we -- -- jeopardy -- -- not our fault it's this guy that we get to -- practice and I'm sure insight and -- And you remember last year you know Alex that was so so until we start. And -- up -- started -- better but he was going to be in the ankle folic it would try to grab the eight man and so there was some opening didn't like about Alex out. And bring that only two games but didn't I read stop -- all like that needle I mean. Aren't already. You know -- -- -- opportunity. -- all right in there and we've seen out of the game that I wanna see more law. Talent and no Lukowich who games but let you -- -- it sure. And then you know they -- -- stole -- back in areas where a sports but I think it's worth it straight. How can. What what what -- the -- Joseph Billick still like the favorites in the NFC what. What why is it worth the shakeup at best. They're a favorite to win the Super Bowl in you know they didn't come away with peace with equal prize. Close the Packers but that's a get out okay. But back toward religion it tore it into looking into what you really care when -- -- stolen don't expect that yeah I agree yeah. You can't quote stats -- two games. But I sucked in a puppet I don't worry -- composure -- yet. To roll out. In right. And I just never seen Alex -- ramble like and the market outlook -- But this -- all are located at -- my point is. My point Joseph zip zip it's just go 49ers. Com art what what do they -- 821. If they are you know seven and four or six and five and -- we -- a lot more talent. Then him we're showing right now and Alex mr. isn't it the job done you make the move. Oh great 211. And you still want the favors to in the super -- They get a quarterback that's performing. That's the reason that the -- I ninety seconds I'll ask you the question because the patriots have an opportunity to see this team and you've made your thoughts well known -- team. Alex Smith. -- one more question for about this thing in ninety's. Should you have two quarterbacks that are playing. At a very high level -- -- your captain when your starting quarterback. The other as has played. Great football. The last three football games both have a hot hand. Couple hot hands. And -- quarterbacking you'll pursue efforts Cisco. Kind of Lackey the way Harbaugh is handling this week to come out and say Alec hampered keys are quarterback going forward. Butler and on a 37 WEEI. Three weeks from now. Sampras Cisco and New England. When call you that you follow the patriots is closer than any other NFL team so which quarterback scares you more in the game. Alex Smith talent -- Analysts is Culpepper -- got a pocket and he can make some things happen 41 individual game would be him. Element that Obama so Alex Smith is the with a quarterback and we think cap predict makes them a better team. Well it's boomer boss strike. That that's the way I look at it boomer -- I mean you've got a young quarterback and coming here and look like Andrew Luck as heralded as he has got him an a -- for him. Getting promoted -- make mistakes his defense and confused young quarterback. Wearing -- Alex Smith who Carolina's defense stifled the pats which with the Carolina anyways and run Frank Gore make quick decisions not turn a ball over. So capita is a sort of a boom or bust type thing for me and I just hoping that this team needs that. Yeah I I think I don't see. The necessary boom that the boom -- him running around -- makes plays the beat that's a huge benefit the bus we haven't seen it may -- we will. We haven't seen many mistakes in two plus games from him and maybe you know me was he those mistakes I think it's clear cut. I'm much more fearful the 49ers with cap predict under center because the things he can do with his feet. No question about that's no knock it Alex Smith well I don't think ladies and only Allegheny quarterback and you're saying you're more scared capita which what is it. I just told you why shouldn't the -- and overall in the NFL the guys scares -- most is an opponent in backup quarterback the team. Michael -- scares the hell out of me yet. You might play him. I don't mind it -- it let me bust but -- east what nick falls last night that disaster mechanic and you guys very well I'm just saying I've I'd rather play nick folders in my nature to Mike and -- yes thick. I it's -- -- bus and he worries the -- idea it will ball deep he can run. Let me in the long run you really worry about Michael Vick. Over the course of a season no and to be fair to cap -- we don't know the specific -- could be the next great quarterback. But out with this team I don't think it's worth the risk I think -- got a great defense that can run the hell out of the ball Frank Gore. Any Alex -- make it plays like yep they do that with Colin camper. They actually -- OK why respite. You know at six and five -- we have a much talent we have make a switch. You have favored to win the NFC. And I just look different view of a business and the an opportunity take a chance to make that this is in your mind better I -- those guys that take that chance. An obstacle with -- cap predict is absolutely chance but could make them better if your forty niners fan. I Tim's in Natick Tim you're next up among -- Cora are at eight great when that everything and it status quo that. Not to complain about -- into whatever she actually. -- You know who grew up I I do you -- -- you know I -- my either there or maybe the better talent but. Mean when -- -- -- Bledsoe Brady. Let it -- what -- the record for completion by I won the M 1819. And seven for rape before he got hurt the following game. And might argue our point this quote -- their current that they expect that that cheaper. -- -- -- No I heard I -- -- I can find the Vernon Davis south for where he says. Yelp Colin -- predicts a great guy but -- -- -- a great guy I don't wanna pick and choose between the two. Yeah like it did an article up that pace that they eat eat believe -- believe they should be. You know that what you believe in your heart that the quote. Some newspaper I read by an -- -- -- It is no doubt that I'm I'm I'm more worried that eat at each. The pressure. On our hot -- because you know eat that can anybody so the pressure or not the score points. While I'm playing that clinic -- Probably. More. So more three and outs than that at that they played on the eve gala. I have a village they're trying to follow or more without net wealth which in -- kind of a more on that he sent. And quite frankly I'm more would I would argue and I'd -- worked it out coming in here with a much more accurate quarterback. -- to end their -- -- that we. Eat that way back in get. Them out -- been. Even what turned out coming in I think I will be able to get into games -- is not. We don't know look at how cabinet and the dealer in each pitcher on go forward and one game. You know. That they get the giant. Currently it against green -- a -- and again that and a and now it's cute yet so. I think I opera and that -- without -- let that -- not gonna win the court without it there and that. And you didn't get a vote in I think our help would not -- this quote that this this year and that that might only be earned by two count. Tim thanks for your call you mentioned the accuracy that's what that's a spell check wants right -- doesn't wanna turn every quarterback in you and Alex -- Brees got to go now it's a short. But he's got to be accurate up and on the field where -- cap predict because of the arm in the rate of rollout. I'd be wary of the big place that he's gonna make those big plays I saw Russell Wilson. Rolled around the pocket and make big plays down field not gonna compare will -- happening -- two separate quarterbacks but. Similar skill set their and the ability to get out and make plays and he does that -- and so -- appreciate -- take on the accuracy. Part of it Alex it is 70% this year there's nobody knocking his accuracy. But big plays down field. Those are up place -- -- -- in terms of the Vernon Davis quote good stuff from Tim here's the quote -- he's still sort of mixed bag -- I look at colony CA great playmaker Vernon Davis said I think Alex is still the man. In my heart I strongly believe that you'll know next week I'm sure coach Harbaugh or making nice decision who wants to go with I'm short Alex is still our guy. So. He he's in it's it's an interesting point in that. He says both guys are good for the guy and his heart I was draft with -- Alex Smith so maybe that is Vernon Davis to an extent giving idea of who we want says that the guy in his art. Alex -- Mike's in Natick -- next up Lamotte live. Who and it's their that they broke the action part. It covered up the bullet to the department both full side. -- -- and what they want -- support for the government the quarterback -- next year. You know and out. The -- in the saint when they -- the -- acne treatment stupid that everybody at a young quarterback. And if there is that an attitude of they've broke what. But -- that all the time until. Yeah listen Mike I agree I was gonna crystal ball -- main course time will tell. You know -- just. Patriots made a move puts it wasn't good anymore wasn't -- job done. You know those opportunity. You know -- let's bring it up later on near his ankles banged up look a -- look at Brady had led that team throughout the year. -- lead that team play a lot better than Drew Bledsoe was. Before you got hurt. -- I should I put -- back up your argument so. As far as what. My argument must. Be able to get a critical -- of an -- -- Yeah I mean one of somebody's got to be proven right long term and and look loose at the barn out they got to get to a Super Bowl. Because that's where one has them already you can do that mean that's that's fair to do I just think that. -- the position to such a dynamic position now on this week. And if you think you have a guy they can make your team better even if he is a younger player he keeps and rookie it's likely second year guy okay -- -- a full year in the system are -- -- Ought to thank you. But they had a full year in the system to sort prepare himself rightly break big Brady. Was more prepared to do what he did in year two or whatever as a rookie couldn't had a stretch he had. It was more prepared OK so cap -- more prepared than equal local rookie wanna keep hammering the rookie -- a run at practice times and experience. To me. In gains on Sundays is. Ewing used to -- -- -- -- games. Let's wait say mean -- next week visit dud. They gonna flip on that. -- -- -- every single week that I flipped on with this issue like that before I like it now allows us to really be keeping such a good -- the -- Harbaugh and out and get. I'll be wrong -- -- -- -- -- list but I think it's the right move to -- the player who is more mobile has a bigger arm and so far shown. No real issues at that quarterback position help maybe he will against the patriots -- somewhere along the line here but I give Harbaugh a credit -- make the official announcement on Wednesday. 617779793. Several continue with your phone calls we come back it's a Tuesday that he's the power rankings are updated. At WEEI dot com picked through those and get your phone's -- here.

It was possibly the famous Mohawk chief's death that prompted William Berczy to paint this portrait, which is unique in a number of ways. It shows the model standing in a classically inspired pose, with the head in three-quarter profile. The outstretched arm evokes imperial authority, while the pleats in the brilliant red blanket echo the folds of a toga. Although the figure appears monumental - an effect emphasized by the low horizon line - each detail of the costume has been rendered with painstaking, almost documentary precision. Showing the chief against the backdrop of an imaginary landscape, the image has been executed in a limited but subtle range of colours dominated by red and green.

NEW YORK Novelist Robert Lautner chronicles the adventures of a young boy and the impact of the invention of Samuel Colt's revolving handgun in "Road to Reckoning," a coming-of-age tale set during the great depression of the 1830s.
Lautner's story follows 12-year-old Thomas Walker as he tries to make it home to New York after losing his father on a sales trip to market the first line of Colt Paterson revolvers.
Thomas forms an unlikely alliance with Henry Stands, a drifter and part-time bounty hunter, and the two face a barrage of hurdles, including pursuit by a killer, as they work their way through the turnpikes and trails of Pennsylvania.
Lautner, who is British, owned a comic-book store and worked as a wine merchant before becoming a writer. "Road to Reckoning" is his debut novel.
He spoke to Reuters about his research, his interest in guns, and how the revolver changed the shape of warfare.
Q. How did you nail down the voice of 1830s America?
A. I had to find a traveler's dictionary, which was for English travelers in America in the 1850s, kind of like a slang dictionary. I also read "American Notes for General Circulation" (a travelogue by Charles Dickens of his 1842 trip to North America). Reading that was a great boon. I had to get the tongue correct but also make it understandable to the modern reader. I picked it up quite naturally, I think. The easiest thing is just to remove contractions.
Q. Talk about your interest in the revolver.
A. I've always been interested in guns. That's a childhood thing. I knew the legend of Samuel Colt carving his first model out of a block when he was 16. I always thought that would be a romantic thing to put into a novel — you've got this model of a gun that represents the world's first successful repeating weapon. So, as a boy growing up, and being around guns, it seemed logical to me.
Q. Your setting is characterized by a combination of economic hardship and lots of gun violence. Did you intend to draw a parallel with today's world?
A. It's a bit spooky, isn't it? I didn't realize it as I was writing, but I eventually realized that Colt making an assembly line weapon was really the start of an industrial revolution almost. People were going from horses and canals to steam and locomotives. And going from single-action guns to a repeating firearm, that was kind of the start of gun violence.
Q. In the narrative, you hint at the depression rather than explicitly discuss it. Why?
A. I did pull it back from the narrative. I was wanting that to be underground, something you might pick up on a second read. You can hear it in Thomas' voice when he hears things, sees things. Even Henry Stands is almost a hobo really, getting piecemeal work collecting prisoners who've run away. I originally wrote it as a young adult story, and when I presented it to an agent, they said it was a literary fiction piece, so it's something a father and a son could both read and get different things from.
Q. Henry Stands tells Thomas, "If you can scare a man, you can beat him." How does that saying apply in today's world?
A. In the story, there is a wooden model of a revolver, and the idea was that just the shape of a gun could instill fear. I thought, 'What kind of man could go into a room with armed men, carrying just a wooden gun?' We've got to a point where people think just having a gun is enough to scare people off.
Q. Did you know how you wanted the book to end?
A. I didn't have an end. I never do. I think if I don't know the end of the story, then the reader doesn't either. I always have an outline based on scenes I want to get to. I have these scenes, and I will get to them, but the story I will let develop itself. If you over-plot, you're not really entertaining yourself, so how can you entertain anyone else?
Q. The book is dedicated to your brother, John, whom you call "The Actual," a descriptor also used in the story. What is "The Actual"?
A. There was a book on desperadoes of the 19th century called "The Story of the Outlaw," written by Emerson Hough. He used the phrase "The Actual," as in, there can be a guy who looks like a bad man, as with the gun and the boots and the hat, but he's just showing off.
"The Actual" would be a rougher version, a guy who doesn't talk a lot but will get the best of you.
