Raúl Allegre - Raúl Enrique Allegre Rodríguez (born June 15, 1959) is a Mexican former professional football kicker in the National Football League for the Baltimore / Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants, and New York Jets. He played college football at Montana and Texas and was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent after the 1983 NFL draft.
Allegre was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 1983 NFL draft, where he had to go through a try out session. On August 23, he was traded to the Baltimore Colts, in exchange for a ninth round draft choice (#232-John Hunt). As a rookie, he made 30 field goals (franchise record) out of 35 attempts and 22 out of 24 extra points, for an 85.7% average (franchise record) and a total of 112 points (franchise record). He tied a franchise record by making 5 field goals against the Philadelphia Eagles.
In 1984, he missed 3 preseason games with a bruised heel. He injured a hamstring in the season opener and missed the next 4 contests, only appearing in 12 games. Dean Biasucci replaced him from the second to the sixth game and would remain as a kickoff specialist for the rest of the season. Allegre did not make a field goal until the eighth game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He connected on 11-for-18 field goal attempts (61.1%) and had a perfect 14-for-14 on extra point attempts.
In 1985, he made 16-of 26 field goal attempts, for a low 61.5% average and was 36-of-39 on extra points. On September 4, 1986, he was waived by the then Indianapolis Colts, after Biasucci passed him on the depth chart.
In 1986, after New York Giants' kicker Ali Haji-Sheikh was injured, the team began auditions to find a replacement. Allegre's two-week tryout was successful, kicking a 57-yard field goal that convinced Coach Bill Parcells to sign him. Because Allegre decided to call his agent before signing the contract, Parcells decided to cancel the deal, signing instead Joe Cooper. After three ineffective performances by Cooper, Parcells called Allegre back and signed him on September 25, becoming the team's sixth kicker in 19 games. During the team's Super Bowl run in 1986, he kicked game-winning field goals in consecutive weeks in a crucial mid-season stretch.[4] Allegre kicked the opening kickoff of Super Bowl XXI, with the announcer stating that "Raúl Allegre, will kick off, number 2" just before the contest began.
In 1990, he began the season as the starting kicker, before suffering an injury and clearing the way for Matt Bahr. He also did not kick in Super Bowl XXV after being replaced by Bahr in late September.
On May 22, 1991, he was released in favor of Bahr. On August 8, he signed as a free agent with the Houston Oilers. He missed a field goal against the Atlanta Falcons in preseason, before losing the position battle to Ian Howfield and being released on August 19. On October 24, he was re-signed by the Giants after Bahr suffered a thigh injury. He was cut on November 30. At the time he ranked ninth on the franchise's All-time scoring list, having made 77 out of 103 (74.8%) field goals.
On December 16, 1991, he was signed by the New York Jets to replace an injured Pat Leahy who suffered from sciatica, causing him pain in the back, hip and upper leg which would lead to Leahy's retirement. In the season finale at Miami, Allegre tied the score in the waning moments and later won the game 23-20 and a playoff berth for the Jets in an overtime thriller. He also kicked in the playoff loss against the Houston Oilers.
Allegre lost the competition for the kicker's spot on the Jets roster in training camp to Plan B free agency addition Jason Staurovsky and was released on August 28, 1992. He later decided to retire due to a back injury.
During his nine professional seasons, Allegre made 137 field goals in 186 attempts, scored 183 extra points for 594 points and didn't have any attempt blocked.
I enjoy officiating at weddings. I haven't done very many in the past few years, because of the physical layout of the church I was serving. But, I have tree weddings lined up, occurring before I move again in June. This should be fun!
A flight from Manchester Airport flying over the far north of Britain circling over the Faeroe Islands to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). As we flew over Scotland the interior lights where switched off, then the outside lights went off to give the best view of the stars and the. We had about 40 minutes in the total dark of the night sky to observe the skies. Then back home to Manchester.
Cameras had to have flash switched off, rangefinder light off, and screens off or covered.
We had two experts Peter Lawrence and Nigel Bradbury to describe the stars and Aurora, and keep up a commentary.
As the seating was three aside, we swapped places regularly so that others got a window view.
For those asking the trip is organised by Omega Holidays
The Images had to be taken on the fasted speed possible, which at an ISO 6400 and Fstop wide open the slowest speed of 1 second was just a few stops under. A better speed of 5-10 seconds cave better exposure, but had the problem of movement. The aircraft has a vibration and as we circled the sky changed slightly. These are all hand held and not using the window frame for support otherwise the vibration blurred the shot. A bit different from a tripod fixed to the ground and a 1 minute exposure from the solid ground.

This is where Eric got caught trying to wear his sunglasses for the formal shots. Mrs. Backs, a.k.a "The Boss" subtly suggested that Eric should remove them. She's starting him off early. Welcome to the married life Eric :-)

CN was cool, before the SD40s left the roster (to later come back in GCFX grey). A set of '40s including GTW and DW&P blast out of Northtown Yard on October 6, 1993.
Finally a new Fickr-account, after having been away for almost 2 years.
Feels good to be back and hope to upload some nice shots soon.
17 January 2011. Sullu (Mournei, West Darfur): Children in the local school of Sullu, where they are thought by 3 volunteer teachers. There are about 75 students of different ages some of them from the new families who arrived recently from Kalma IDP Camp (South Darfur).
An Inter agency mission (UNICEF, OCHA, FAO, UNDP and UNAMID) visited Sullu village, in Mournei (West Darfur), where about 120 people returned from Kalma IDP camp last december. The new arrivals just settled down in the new place, most of them making new shelters with branches and plastics. The local community of Sullu hostes the new arrivals providing them some help, health assistance and education to the children in the local school. WFP will provide food for all of them for the next six months. Photo by Albert Gonzalez Farran / UNAMID / www.albertgonzalez.net
My big girl is going back to school on Wednesday. Second grade is going to be so much fun!! She is so smart I just can't believe it. And seriously, can you believe this little beauty is only 7?!

I don't know if anyone is still following my photostream after all this time, but to whom it may concern, I plan on making a comeback to Flickr.
Now, it's been well over a year since I've actually taken any decent retail photography, and in that timeframe, a lot has changed. I thought that I was done with retail photos since I had taken everything, but looking over my photostream, there's still a lot out there to take, just in my area alone too. At this point, I think its time to start revisiting these businesses.
Of course, I don't know if I'm going to actually go through with doing this again. Most likely yes, but probably not as frequently as I had been doing way back when, due to work and school. In the past year I've matured, and proprietors are less likely to cut me some slack since I'm close to adulthood. I was in middle school when I started, so it seems like most people didn't think much of it since I was younger. So if I do any new photos, then chances of any new interior photos are slim. I don't want to get myself in hot water over the inside of a department store.
Currently, I have a new camera (another Coolpix, plus my cell phone camera, which I took the above 7-Eleven with) to put to use. I also plan on renewing my pro account soon, and updating the tags and descriptions. Not that exciting for you people, but it gives me something to do. So for now, all I can say is stay tuned, and hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more newer photos here. Cheers!

The morning sun illuminated this waterlily from behind when I was searching for frogs in the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens.
I went back to where I used to live until I was 16 for a couple of days and it was lovely to see my friends again and it was wonderful to spend more time outdoors. I miss walking barefoot and strolling around in the woods and fields and meadows. I felt so happy and it was horrible to come back into the middle of the city. I wanna go back to the country so badly.
btw, this is not me ;)

After the Metrobus Anniversary events, some of us can commence work on other projects as we aim for 2014 and what it has to offer. Here is our former Capital Citybus unique Olympian 166 and the donor vehicle from where it will get its replacement engine. With boot lids and bumpers off, the engine swap will happen very soon. We are looking forward to getting one of our CCB Olympians in service for 2014....
