Best Tacos – Best tacos in LA. and i ve had a lot of good tacos. But this place takes the top spot. Try the carne asada tacos
Excellent tamales, quezadillas & COOKIES! – When I'm having a long day, stop at Gallegos Mexican Deli on my way home, and grab a few delicious dishes from their broad menu. Often times, I call my order in & it's ready when I get there to pick it up. My favorite dish byfar is their quesadillas. They are delicious, all the different types! They have them ready-to-heat or you can pick up a hot order as well. I often get enough for a week or so when I stop in so that I save myself a trip. I've also called them for office and party catering, because they're cost-efficient, delicious and excellent at their service to customers. If you're ever in the Culver City area, stop in for a delicious taquito or quesadilla, or tamale at Gallegos. You won't be dissapointed!
Best Mexican Food – I am new to this area and I was passing by and it caught my eye, I stopped in on my way home from work.
I did not notice this place before but I guess it is because they just extended their hours until 7pm. I ordered a California Burrito, WOW, huge and more than I can eat! It had great flavor. I also took some tamales and enchiladas home to try for lunch the next day! Out of this world! The light red salsa to die for! I have to go back now to try other items on their menu!

A low-key eatery with a thrifty menu of Mexican specialties to eat in or take out. – In Short
It's spacious and airy inside and on the patio, where a slew of tables are covered by a canopy and shade trees. Business bustles at rush hour, but service is efficient. Enchiladas, tacos and burritos, plus a satisfying assortment of homemade tamales both savory (meat and vegetarian) and sweet are all available to stay or go.

Rodgers can learn from predecessors' transfer dealings at Anfield
Comparison has been a particular demon to Liverpool in recent times. At a club with so much to compare, and with so little to celebrate over the past four years, it is little surprise. No failure can occur unaccompanied with a footnote of the past: the points total in Kenny Dalglish's final season was the lowest since 1954; Brendan Rodgers oversaw the club's worst start to a league since 1911; 18 league titles in 1990, none since.
It's an inevitability and an unfair one too, especially as they are rarely positive. The past is often in black and white, caveats and context become frayed over time. Brendan Rodgers' achievement of obtaining more points (61) in his first season than any manager since Roy Evans in the mid-1990s is ignored, the £50 million spent used as an airbrush. The only comparisons that truly matter are those which tick along, every day, month, year: no Champions League qualification since 2009; one major trophy since 2006; 18 league titles in 1990, none since.
- Rodgers to add depth to squad
The only way to halt them is to make them redundant. When the doomsday clock stops and Champions League participation is obtained, the hand-wringing and wistful glances to yesteryear will cease.
But to do that, Liverpool must improve. Seventh and 61 points are three places and 12 points from fourth, after all. It is not an exact science, but realistically 10 to 15 points improvement will be needed. There is much work to do, particularly with the squad.
This is where the devilish comparisons find wings and become guiding lights. Rodgers may not want to be sized up alongside Gerard Houllier and Rafael Benitez, but he would be wise to acknowledge their work in the transfer market, particularly during their second seasons at the club.
Never has a Liverpool manager faced a second season with the importance and pressure that Rodgers does. Not even Dalglish, whose second season would ultimately end in his dismissal, faced this. By next summer, Rodgers will have one year of his contract remaining and Fenway Sports Group will possess a much clearer picture of whether he is achieving progression sufficiently. With four of the six clubs above Liverpool with new managers, the expectation of capitalising increases further.
But before consigning the Northern Irishman to history prematurely, a quick history lesson about those he could follow.
Though Houllier spent part of his first season alongside Evans in an ill-fated partnership with little affability, he had changed enough from November 1998 to the season's end to regard Liverpool as his. The changes he wanted to implement, both on and off the pitch, had begun. Then came the summer: Transfer activity that had official club photographers flustered, the eternal question of how to unveil seven new signings at once finally answered.
To call signing seven players -- all bar Dietmar Hamann below £6 million -- a scattergun approach would do disservice to the scouting system Houllier had cultivated. Hindsight is also kind on them given three would help Liverpool win their fifth European Cup six years later. But Houllier's mindset was clear -- a squad that had seen six or seven squad players leave needed adding to quickly, and this approach minimised the risk. If four or five of his seven arrivals became first-team players, it was a risk worth taking.
And so it proved, both short term and long term. The 54 points became 67 the season after; seventh place became fourth, with Champions League football denied on the final day. Beyond that, Stephane Henchoz and Sander Westerveld were key members of the treble win in 2001, while Hamann, Sami Hyypia and Vladimir Smicer all played big roles in Istanbul.
Benitez's second season is a tale more familiar. A fifth-place finish with 58 points was placated somewhat by winning the Champions League, yet Benitez knew his side needed to improve in the league. Instead of acquiring seven players in the knowledge some would prove their quality, the Spaniard targeted three players who would suit the style of play he wanted to develop.
In came Pepe Reina, a goalkeeper who was far more comfortable playing behind a high line than Jerzy Dudek, Chris Kirkland or Scott Carson. He was joined by Mohammed Sissoko, a midfielder who would bring energy to the midfield and allow Steven Gerrard to play on the right-hand side. Up front, Peter Crouch was purchased alongside much head-scratching, but it was quickly evident his role was to push defences deeper, allowing more space for the midfield to operate, particularly away from home. The anomaly, Bolo Zenden, was already bought to replace Gerrard after his summer love-in with Chelsea.
It was a pragmatic summer from a pragmatic manager. Sissoko and Crouch would not prove to be players of pristine ability, but the duo helped Benitez fix what was broken the season previous. How well it worked, too. Liverpool won the FA Cup and finished third on 82 points, just nine behind champions Chelsea.
And so to Rodgers -- and his transfer committee -- who would dearly love a 28-point increase next season. The problems at Liverpool appear obvious to all: With 71 goals scored and 17 league games seeing Liverpool concede two or more, the defensive positions need reorganising. Liverpool's defence struggled particularly against players with strength; legs trembled and lips quivered upon the sight of Christian Benteke, Jon Walters, Rickie Lambert and even Matt Smith -- a League One striker -- approaching.
But complications are never far from Liverpool. The club need to be pragmatic, with the arrival of Kolo Toure and apparent pursuit of Kyriakos Papadopoulos suggesting they are targeting players capable with dealing with strength. But Liverpool also need to add to their roster, with a number of squad members thought to be exiting Anfield. Rodgers cannot do what Benitez did in 2006 and simply use his budget on three players, nor can he mimic Houllier and pick a large group of players reasonably priced and accept some may join Erik Meijer and Titi Camara as the briefest of flecks on the canvas.
The players thought to be Anfield-bound -- Toure, Papadopoulos, Iago Aspas, Tiago Ilori and possibly Henrik Mkhitaryan -- show the difficulty in striking the balance, as proven or highly thought of they may be. Though bodies and quality could be added in Rodgers' front three and the defensive dystopia could be fixed, problems still remain; problems, potentially, that will make the difference in obtaining Champions League football. Worries still linger about potential cover at full back, while a lot of hope rests upon the knees of Lucas Leiva and the Brazilian regaining his form following two long-term injuries. Another striker in the mould of Daniel Sturridge would also be desirable.
Proof, if nothing else, of what lies ahead for Rodgers and why such pressure rests upon him. Proof, if nothing else, that a big bid for Luis Suarez could be considered in order to allow Rodgers to pick pragmatically or promiscuously, whichever is decided upon. But any notion of that -- as fleeting as it is -- must be accompanied by a reminder the last time Liverpool sold a forward for £50 million, the club reinvested £35 million of it into Andy Carroll.
Comparison has been a particular demon to Liverpool in recent times, but it can also show an ownership and manager still learning on how to conduct business.

ELMORE COUNTY -- A number of large wildfires have charred thousands of acres in Idaho this summer. Flames not only threatened homes and businesses, but also poles and structures that bring power to people who live nearby.
That's why Idaho Power crews are hard a work creating space around expensive structures to protect them from the flames.
North of Mountain Home, transmission lines run from the Boise bench all the way to Twin Falls. The lines feed electricity to hundreds of thousands of people.
"We clear the sagebrush around the structures to protect them," said Idaho Power Transmission Utility Arborist Wayne Olson.
It's a tough job to protect lines in the desert north of Mountain Home where wildfires can spark and move quickly. Just this summer, the Pony Complex ripped through, charring close to 150,000 acres.
"Our challenge is trying to keep our structures clear so they don't burn down in fires," said Olson.
Crews work with machines and by hand to remove plants and brush from around utility poles. They started using the technique in 2006. At first, crews were only creating about 10 feet of space around poles, but they're now going back and creating up to 20 feet.
"It's been really helpful," said Olson
So helpful, crews report they've only lost one pole due to wildfires in areas where they've done that.
Olson added it's also saving Idaho Power customers money. It only costs about $40 to create the defensible space, but if a large transmission power structure is burned, it can cost up to $30,000 to fix.
"This is the most cost effective way that we've found," said Olson.
Olson told us that despite efforts to create space free from brush and weeds around poles, if a fire is burning hot and fast it will still damage utility structures.
About a dozen poles were lost in the Beaver Creek Fire this summer. Olson said a wall of flames moved uphill fast, burning down the poles in its path. It cut off power to the Hailey area for a short time, but crews were able to turn the lights back on using a back-up distribution line. It took several days to fix the poles.
Olson added that many poles and power structures are made of wood because it's been the most cost effective option over the years, but crews now replace poles damaged in wildfires with steel to make them more durable.

The Associated Press
LONDON — Prince William and his wife Kate presented their newborn son to the world for the first time Tuesday, drawing whoops and wild applause from well-wishers as they revealed the new face of the British monarchy — though not, yet, his name.
Britain's Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, hold the newborn Prince of Cambridge on Tuesday as they pose for photographers outside St. Mary's Hospital in London where the Duchess gave birth Monday.
The Associated Press
The newborn Prince of Cambridge, son of Prince William and his wife, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is shown to the public for the first time Tuesday.
The Associated Press
"We're still working on a name. So we'll have that as soon as we can," William told scores of reporters gathered outside St. Mary's Hospital as he cradled the child.
The young family's debut public appearance was the moment the world's media had been waiting for, but the royal couple showed no sign of stress in the face of dozens of flashing cameras. Instead the couple, both 31, laughed and joked with reporters as they took turns holding their baby son, who appeared to doze through it all.
"He's got her looks, thankfully," William said, referring to his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, as the newborn prince squirmed in his arms and poked a tiny hand out of his swaddling blanket, almost like a little royal wave.
"He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure," William added with a grin. "He's a big boy. He's quite heavy."
The infant is third in line to become monarch one day, after his grandfather, Prince Charles, and William.
But for now, the media and the public were focused on getting all the details of new parenthood they could from the couple: How they feel, what the baby looks like, and even who changed the diapers.
Kate, wearing a simple baby blue dress, said William had already had a go at changing the first one.
"He's very good at it," she said.
Asked how she felt, she said: "It's very emotional. It's such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like."
And William poked fun at his own lack of hair when he responded with a wink to a reporter's question about the baby's locks: "He's got way more than me, thank God."
It was a much more relaxed scene than the one when Princess Diana and Prince Charles carried their newborn son, William, out to pose for photographs on the same hospital steps in 1982.
Charles, wearing a dark suit, tie and boutonniere, spoke awkwardly to reporters. By contrast, William, dressed in jeans and a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, joked with the assembled media and addressed some by name. At his side, Kate waved and smiled broadly, the blue sapphire engagement ring that had been Diana's on her finger.
The photographs snapped Tuesday are likely to be reprinted for decades as the baby grows into adulthood and his role as a future king, and onlookers were elated to witness the historic moment.
"William gave us a wave as they drove away, so it was perfect. Days like this really bring the country together," said Katie Allan, 26, from Bristol, England.
The couple re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into a black Range Rover. With William at the wheel, they drove away. Palace officials said they will head to an apartment in Kensington Palace and spend the night there.
The birth marks a new chapter for William and Kate, who had enjoyed a quiet life away from the public eye in Anglesey, Wales, since their wedding in April 2011.

Since our last StigmaBusters alert, much of NAMI's focus has been on issues flowing from the Virginia Tech tragedy in April, including concerns over stigma and discrimination.
NAMI testified before Congress about stigma and perceptions of violence associated with mental illness. Federal gun control laws currently prohibit people who have been "adjudicated as mental defectives" or "
On June 13, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to provide incentives to states to report people to the National Instant Background Check System, but the bill does nothing to correct the vague and stigmatizing language.
A New York Times article titled "States Face Decisions on Who Is Mentally Fit to Vote" (6/19/07) has heightened concerns over a possible trend toward exclusion as a result of Virginia Tech. But the issue actually is an old one, which arises occasionally when someone seeks to enforce existing provisions of state law that prohibit certain people with mental illnesses from voting. NAMI considers such laws to be unconstitutional.
For discussion of the issue, listen to NAMI's advocacy on National Public Radio's "Tell Me More" (15 minutes) show in which "StigmaBusters" are mentioned twice.
A longer discussion (45 minutes) also is available in Wisconsin Public Radio's "At Issue" archive (June 19 at 4PM).
Many StigmaBusters were outraged by the tone of "Are You Normal or Nuts?" in the June 2007 issue of Reader's Digest.
"There's no such thing as normal" and "the line between quirk and crisis is very thin," the article declared. People suffer from "anxiety, calm, depression, anxiety, and love" because we are all "human, flawed, and colorful in our own way." But for some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), it acknowledged, "the most effective treatment is a combination of antidepressants and behavioral therapy with a trained physician."
Then in the July 2007 issue of the magazine, a humorous "word to the wise" appeared. "Manorexic"—a play on the word "anorexic"—was defined as "characterizing a man who eats an extremely large amount of food yet gains no weight."
What do you think?
Is Reader's Digest trivializing mental illness and contributing to stigma. Would a "quirky" article or humorous word play be published about cancer or diabetes? Or does humor help promote education?

Pleasantville, NY 10572-0200
"Worried about your quirk?" the magazine also has asked. "Submit your questions at www.rd.com/nuts for us to analyze in a future issue." Maybe StigmaBusters should offer real questions based on real symptoms.
NAMI has honored the movie CANVAS with an Outstanding Media Award for a dramatic motion picture. It is scheduled for release in theaters in October 2007, but successful, broad distribution depends on

i have never understood how phil simms remains on tv. only thing i can think of is because he played on ny giants with a defense that meant maybe 100,000 people could have played qb and won. even jim nantz can't save him, as much as he tries. i and many others i know avoid games he announces or i just turn sound off.
2012 NFL Announcer Rankings
With the passing of each NFL season, the tradition started by Sports Illustrated's Dr. Z was to take a look back and break down pro football's best and worst announcing teams.
We at Audibles, with the utmost respect for Dr. Z's work, took up the torch for that task last year. And what follows below is this blog's second crack at trying to sort through hundreds of hours of game broadcasts to figure out which play-by-play announcers and color commentators turned out the finest product over the past year.
This version ranks the top 10 teams that called games on either CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN or the NFL Network.
Feel free let us know about any disagreements you may have (and we know you'll have them), either in the comments or on Twitter.
10. Marv Albert and Rich Gannon, CBS
Quite frankly, I thought this was the most improved announcing team from last year to this one. Albert, 71, and Gannon definitely seemed more comfortable with each other during their second go-round.
As such, their games were much more enjoyable to listen to and less littered with head-scratching mistakes — in 2011, for example, Albert asked Gannon if he had ever played overseas and Gannon replied, "Yes, I played in Mexico."
Others may disagree here, but I appreciate that Albert brings a bit of a lighthearted touch to his games. He'll make fun of himself, if he notices a screw-up, but he also occasionally drops a solid one-liner. His best of 2012? When the Jets and Dolphins went to overtime in Week 3, and after the OT coin toss, Albert remarked: "Tim Tebow with the critical calls of heads!"
9. Kevin Harlan and Solomon Wilcots, CBS
The NFL hands out earpieces now at the Super Bowl, so the media can listen in to a broadcast while watching the game. This year, those in the press box had three options: the CBS' TV feed, a Spanish-language broadcast or a Kevin Harlan-Boomer Esiason pairing on Dial Global radio.
For me, the choice to stick with Harlan was obvious. The fact that Harlan had that opportunity proves his announcing chops, as SI's Richard Deitsch examined last week, and Harlan even delivered during the blackout by broadcasting via a land-line phone.
Whether general football fans realize it or not, Harlan remains one of the best announcers out there. He would be higher on this list, too, if he were paired with a more dynamic color commentator.
That's not necessarily a knock against Wilcots — he does a decent job in the booth, and actually performs very well as a sideline reporter, where CBS used him during the playoffs. Wilcots simply is not on the level of, say, Cris Collinsworth or Mike Mayock.
Still, you could do much worse than drawing this tandem for your team's game.
8. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, CBS
I enjoy listening to Nantz, so much so that I'm even willing to brush aside his occasional screw-up. His most noticeable error this season came when he mistakenly had the wrong team winning a Week 6 Jets-Patriots game.
More often than not, he's solid, if slightly docile. The problem is he's paired with Simms, who needs his own blooper reel.
Late in Super Bowl XLVII, for example, Nantz asked Simms if the Ravens should take a safety rather than punt to Ted Ginn Jr. Simms' response: "I'm thinking … no, I would not. I would punt it."
The Ravens, of course, then took the safety.
7. Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf, CBS
This is a pretty similar setup to Nantz-Simms — a reliable play-by-play man paired with a bit of a loose cannon. The main critique of Dierdorf is the same as it was in last year's rankings: He hits only the most basic of concepts, rarely giving the viewer much more than meets the eye.
Dierdorf also did himself no favors in the Ravens-Broncos playoff game, when he barely let Gumbel get a word in edgewise. After Trindon Holliday's kickoff return TD to start the third quarter, Dierdorf rattled off a nearly 100-word explanation of the replay, spanning nearly 40 seconds. When the Ravens lined up for the ensuing play from scrimmage, Gumbel and Dierdorf tripped over each other two or three times, as Gumbel tried to retake the reins.
6. Kenny Albert and Daryl Johnston, FOX
This is almost unfair to Albert. If we were doing straight play-by-play rankings, Albert would be in the top five, possibly for multiple sports. Unfortunately, FOX has teamed him with the Daryl Johnston-Tony Siragusa dog-and-pony show.
With just Albert and Johnston, it would be much more enjoyable — even if Johnston loses the count sometimes, as in Week 10, when he suggested that the Saints, up 31-27 at the time on the Falcons, take a safety to go up by six (a safety would have made it 31-29).
Siragusa does not bring much to the table from his vantage point on the field, often dipping into the tired "body language" reports to gauge a team's mentality.
5. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, FOX
If Troy Aikman were not Troy Aikman, would he be on FOX's top team? Doubtful. And that's kind of a shame, because Buck is better now as a football play-by-play guy than he ever has been in the past — a transformation that began last year, when Buck became noticeably more excitable during his calls.
Aikman, however, is closer to Dierdorf area than Collinsworth/Mayock land, in that he gets you the nuts and bolts, but often little else. For an ex-quarterback with Aikman's resume, the expectations are higher than that, especially as higher quality audio allows networks to pick up just about every call made by QBs at the line.
If FOX ever presses Aikman to step up his X's-and-O's game, this duo might ascend higher.
4. Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden, ESPN
Tirico is a phenomenal play-by-play guy. He is constantly dropping both critical information and interesting tidbits to further his broadcasts, and he has not been fazed at all by working with the often cartoon-like Gruden.
Plus, on the fly, Tirico has a knack for expressing exactly what the viewer is thinking. When the Titans and Jets played a brutal Monday night game this season, Tirico's call on the Jets' game-deciding fumble was spot-on:
"That's the way this game should end, that's the way the Jets seasons should end. Ugly! And a loss."
As for Gruden … take him or leave him. He's not changing. Personally, I find him enjoyable most of the time, even if his "This guy! What a guy!" shtick gets old. His pre-draft QB camp features really spotlight his personality at his best. During the broadcasts we see that more reserved Gruden only when the games are out of hand or boring — and that's usually when he is most tolerable.
3. Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts, CBS
If you read last year's announcer rankings, nothing at the top of this list should come as a surprise. This is basically how I had the announcing teams rated following 2011, and no one's really broken through to change the status quo.
But that status quo is perfectly acceptable when it comes to Eagle and Fouts. This is technically the No. 3 team at CBS, but it easily could leapfrog Simms/Nantz or Gumbel/Dierdorf and get the job done, if the network were ever so inclined.
Eagle's voice is unique and recognizable, and it pairs well with the homespun Fouts. Sure, you'll get a random Fouts statement of the obvious here and there — "You're not a winner until you win a game," for example (courtesy of Awful Announcing's entertaining "Straight Outta Stockton" feature from 2012).
More often than not, those are harmless. And there may not be an NFL announcing duo with better chemistry overall.
2. Brad Nessler and Mike Mayock, NFL Network
Mayock kicked off the 2012 season by singing "Play That Funky Music" during a play in the Hall of Fame Game. In his second year with Nessler on the NFL Network's broadcasts, Mayock again proved himself to be more knowledgeable than just about any announcer out there. But the knock from those who were critical hearkened back to that karaoke moment — Mayock seems to love hearing himself.
Honestly, that trait is far more problematic during NBC's Notre Dame broadcast, when Mayock even adopts a little "Rah Rah!" quality.
Even if the path of Mayock's rising star flattened out a bit this year, there may not be another analyst out there capable of picking so much out of a play. Even before replays roll, Mayock seems to know which blocks hit, where defenders vacated spots and so on.
Nessler, meanwhile, leaves himself almost nothing for which to apologize. He steps back to let Mayock do his thing, all while maintaining the proper enthusiasm for the moment.
1. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth, NBC
When it comes to must-follow NFL player Twitter accounts, linebacker Justin Durant's is at the top, especially if you're a music aficionado. On Sunday nights during the season, though, Durant has waged a personal Twitter war against Cris Collinsworth's commentary.
Durant is not alone. There are plenty of people out there who cannot stand Collinsworth.
And I do not get it.
Yes, he'll get a little preachy from time to time, but he's also arguably the best in the business at his job. Look no further for evidence of that than the Saints-Chargers game, when Collinsworth said that a clearly injured Jared Gaither needed help blocking Martez Wilson or "Wilson's going to get a sack to end this game."
Next play: No one helped Gaither and Wilson sacked Philip Rivers to clinch a Saints win.
Collinsworth also has the good fortune to be alongside Michaels, one of the best announcers ever. Michaels can run the gamut from a controversial moment to, say, casually referencing a game's spread without ever sounding out of place.
Unranked: The announcing teams that did not land in the top 10, for various reasons …
Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick, Bill Macatee and Steve Tasker, Spero Dedes and Steve Beuerlein, Don Criqui and Randy Cross, Dick Stockton and John Lynch, Chris Myers and Tim Ryan, Ron Pitts and Mike Martz, Sam Rosen and Heath Evans, and Gus Johnson and Charles Davis.
In the cases of, for example, Macatee/Tasker, Dedes/Beuerlein, Criqui/Cross, Rosen/Evans and Johnson/Davis, there was not a complete season of work to go on — those pairings only worked when either CBS or FOX had a full slate of games in a given week.
Among the rest, the toughest omission was Brennaman. He is better calling baseball than football, in my opinion, but even when he sometimes hops up on his soapbox, he's strong with NFL work. Billick, on the other hand, was extremely inconsistent this year. That's right up to and including the Seahawks-Falcons playoff game, in which Billick talked about how the game's result "legitimizes the Seahawks as the number one seed" (Atlanta won). That flub came moments after Billick wondered aloud if, down by six with 44 seconds left, Seattle ought to kick a field goal and try to recover an onside kick rather than, you know, go for the game-winning touchdown.
Of the remaining three play-by-play guys (Stockton, Myers, Pitts), Pitts has the highest upside in that role — Stockton's best days are behind him. But Pitts needs to free himself of Martz.

DEITSCH: Simms struggles in Super Bowl broadcast | BURKE: NFL Draft Big Board
Troy Aikman needs to go Joe Buck himself!!!!
My grandma is a better announcer than Joe Buck and Troy Aikman put together, and shes never watched football in her life!
Joe Buck uses Troy Aikmans com as chapstick.
P.O.S. Announcers!!!
Buck sucks Troy off everyday and needs to be fired!!!!
Stupid Buck
Bob Costis should be fired. Every red blooded American is angry with that loser. The 2nd Amendment lives!!
Cant stand Nessler/Mayock would rather listen to my wife complain. Think Buck/Aikman way overrated, best they have to offer sadly? Tim Ryan should get a shot with a shot with a good partner and let his true personality come out, he is awesome on radio and knows his stuff
Ok, ranking announcers is a lot like whether you like vanilla or strawberry. For me, it's hard to understand how anybody likes Jim Nantz. My wife coined the term, "self-impoignant" -- that describes Nantz. He so wants to be the Walt Whitman of announcing, poetic, deep, connected, sensitive but he's full of it. Get guys like David Feherty alone, and they will tell you what they think of him. Al Michaels is much the same, so full of himself. That's why guys like Brad Nessler are enjoyable. The call and enjoy the game but don't think of themselves as celebrities. I've like Mike Tirico over the years but fear he is headed toward the Nantz/Michaels philospher-announcer hell. Dan Fouts is great an insightful. I can see how Gruden gets under the skin of some, but he points out things that few others do, unlike Aikmen, who always sounds like my 8th grade coach.
Al Michaels - Yes. Cris Collinsworth - NO!!! The man does not know how to spell insight, much less have any. He is a paid cheerleader for whatever team he thinks is going to win that day, and then having nothing good to say about the other team, quickly backtracks when they surge ahead. Why not provide bias free announcing? About the only good thing I can say is it is 'almost' entertaining to listen to the moronic comments he makes.
I think most of the problem is the color guys. The disparity between #1 play-by-play announcer and #6-7-8 announcer (whoever your personal #6-7-8 would be, not necessarily this list) is not that huge. Personally I agree Michaels is great ... also like Nessler, Eagle, and Tirico a lot ... others are all fine by me -- not great, not horrible. BUT ... the color guys?! A couple are good, the rest are TERRIBLE. Personally, I like Collinsworth and Gruden, and I think Mayock is OK, and I can't print how I feel about the rest. Complaint #1: Why do they have to fill up EVERY SECOND of the broadcast blathering on about something or another? Gruden is the least offensive on this issue. Complaint #2: These guys are supposed to provide insight, because of their above-average knowledge of the game ... but instead they just constantly repeat shallow crap. Collinsworth, Mayock, and Gruden are the ONLY exceptions in my book. Complaint #3: Mistakes. Complaint #4: lisps. (I mean no offense here, just being realistic -- you wouldn't hire a blind guy to be your chauffeur, right?!) Color-guy summary: c'mon, tens of thousands of guys played/coached football, and these are the best 10-15 you could find?? All-time best team was Keith Jackson / Frank Broyles (unfortunately, only did college games, as far as I was ever aware).
I'm fine with how most of these are ranked, though I find Joe Buck to be overrated. Buck and Aikman rarely bring anything fresh to the table and have become very annoying. I'm a Cowboys fan and I am ready for this duo to go away. Oh, and get Joe Buck out of the World Series too.
goeast and papscribble win "best comment" awards, IMHO
lol...stupid list. nobody makes the list, simple. they all sucked, and that's why the mute button is there for.
Cris Collinsworth? What's not to like about Cris Collinsworth? He's tall and lanky and not that hard to look at, and he's got experience in the NFL, he's articulate, and he's a clean cut man in his own right!
I agree that Kenny Albert and Moose as a tandem, without Goose, would be better. Johnston's a sharp guy. I am not as high on Mike Tirico, though. He comes across as too excitable for my own taste. And while you didn't rate the national radio announcing teams (specifically DialGlobal), Mark Malone does a decent job in my opinion. He has a listenable voice and decent insights.
Spot on with regard to Mr. Collinsworth.
Collinsworth talks with this cute mushmouth thinking that he's the next Jeff Foxworthy or something. He's very superficial and really quite pompous in his delivery. If it were not for Al "Gums" Michaels, Chris would be sitting on the bench. Hated Jon Gruden as a coach but he is truly a natural and has the greatest mind of any of the announcers....PERIOD!!!
I miss John "BOOM!!!" Madden and Pat Summeral
Can't stand Nantz/Simms. Pretty much why I don't watch games on CBS. For my part, I'm indifferent to Aikman, but I find Joe Buck intolerable. Collinsworth grew on me. I think he does really well breaking down replays and I usually find I have a better idea of what happened on a particular play.
I'd put Albert and Johnston in my top three. Not so much because I think they're superior to some of the others, but more because I find I do enjoy the games they call. Although Tony could be shown the door...
up in wisconsin we usuall get the aikman and buck for the announcing team, in the past years during the Lombardi era, we usually get Ray Scott and his partner. Can we go back to getting a stationary announcer like Ray Scott to cover the packer games? at least we can eliminate the second guessing of the current announcers in regards to the personnel that the packers have! thank you.
Buck and Aikman are the WORST. They don't belong anywhere near a top 10 list.
I nominate Benny Ricardo's team.
What! No Spanish Language announcers? Shame, shame.
It's always shocking to me how many people hate Collinsworth. He's extremely knowledgeable, and he's not afraid to point out or criticize when a coach, ref or player makes an error. I appreciate the honesty. Most announcers act like they've been given a memo threatening death if they ever criticize or make a negative comment about anything even remotely related to the NFL.
Who the hell are you people at Audibles and what qualifies you as such God-given experts? You proclaim MIke Tirico and Brad Nessler as two of the best play by play guys, without any consideration of voice quality and delivery. Brad Nessler has a tired drone-like delivery lacking personality. Mike Tirico has a weak volume and boring delivery and totally devoid of personality. Listening to these two is like watching paint dry. And your number 8 rated Jim Nantz has an excellent voice with smooth delivery and personality! What gives with you dudes?
Buck and Aikman at #5? Really? I'm sorry, but listening to Joe Buck is outright painful. The idea that this team holds the #5 position can only be a statement about the drop off following the first four network teams
Brennaman/Billick are the worst! We get them for Cardinal games. Brennaman is a very un natural announcer. He makes his voice sound Big. Fake. Drones on an on. They constantly rag on the players. Billick comes off as a know it all. Your analyst is spot on the rest.
I think you're spot on with Michaels and Collinsworth. Definitely the best out there. However, I would argue that Gruden/Tirico should come 2nd, and I frankly think Brennaman/Billick should be in 3rd. I have to say that I got to watch them broadcast quite a few Cardinals games this year, and I really enjoy their commentary. I look forward to them much more than the Kenny Albert or Joe Buck groups. Other than that though, solid list.
Here's a suggestion: Best Radio Announcers, College and Pro! Mean Gene Deckerhoff is #1 at both!
I agree with Chris that Harlan is one of the best, if not the best, voices. He's excitable but doesn't push it to the Gus Johnson level.
Phil SImms is the worst. If he's on I turn off. I didn't even watch the Superbowl this year because that would mean listening to Simms.
I agree with the top 4 but I'd swap Tirico and Gruden with Eagle and Fouts. Colinsworth is awful but Al Michaels is the best there is, he helps drown out Cris. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman belong no where on this list.
Every year I pray that CBS has dropped Phill Sims, every year I want to stab myself in the ear after listening to that moron for more than 5 minutes. He is the worst announcer of all time.
Dan Dierdorf is the ABSOLUTE WORST!! His hockey every thing is great commentary is horrible
Well,maybe not - since the si computer refused to post my comment but now there are duplicates!
NBC should have a computer program doing play by play alongside a live Collingsworth - you would get the same information and it would be a lot less expensive.
NBC should have a computer program doing the play by play rather than Al Michaels alongside a live Collingsworth - you would get the same information and it would be a lot less expensive.
Are you kidding me?!
Decent list. I love Collinsworth; very calm and good voice and great explainations.
Only major disagreement is Kenny Albert; that guy is Mr. No Personality, and I know the play-by-play man should be unbiased and fair, but he comes across as a total bore.
sorry -- can't type for sh*t -- papascribble
plus, no criticisms. lol! no balls....as usual.
No es futbol. Es futbol americano
Brenaman is REALLY bad at baseball. But then the Reds have perhaps the worst overall announcing team in MLB. When Thom is paired with his dad Marty on WLW the fawning may make you ill. These two make Waite Hoyt sound like Bill Stern.
Wow. You let 1 guy ruin a great day and an all-time game for you. Do you have any creativity to find a solution like turn on the radio or mute it?
Better yet, are you a sports fan or a woman?
@ebenavente54 A truly incisive critique. Thank you.
@ebenavente54 Buck and Aikman are painfully bad.
@tcholland360 Yeah, Phil Simms is just annoying. He's knowledgeable to an extent, but I just can't stand to listen to him. I think Jim Nantz deserves a much better broadcast partner.
@tcholland360 Once they canned Packer (heh!) I no longer had to watch the Final Four with the sound down. Simms is not great, but he's a whole lot more listenable than Packer ever was. Just as Billy had a foil in Al McGuire, CBS probably could use a third person in the booth to liven things up.

On Tuesday and Thursday evenings from August to October, another crowd joins the mix: the 84 participants of this season's SSSC Advantage Program, representing the youngest players the region has to offer, there to learn basic soccer skills, get their first taste of competition, and join the communal atmosphere of excitement and love of the game.
Offered in two annual sessions, one in the spring and one in the fall, the SSSC Advantage Program is an eight-week training camp for youths ages 5-10, looking to jumpstart their soccer experience. Initially started in the spring of 2011 by SSSC president Ryan Long and Director of Coaching Rob Moreland, the program is intended to provide an alternative to AYSO-style soccer for area residents, providing comprehensive, beginner training under a licensed coaching staff.
"We started [the Advantage Program] to be a feeder program to help the kids and train them for higher level soccer," Long said. "Basically, it's really focused on skill and technique, to teach the kids and provide them an 'advantage' over kids who haven't trained before."
As the boys varsity soccer coach at Spanish Springs High School, Moreland was inspired to create the Advantage Program when he noticed the volume of youth without any real training in the fundamentals of the sport, who were trying out for his team. Noticing a lack of professional soccer training for young kids in the community, Moreland and Long decided to solve the problem.
"What we've been trying to do is to give the kids an edge and teach them from the ground up … My theory is that you put the greatest coaches with the youngest kids. That way you build skills from the start and you don't have to break (previously learned) bad habits," Moreland said. "We've been teaching them how to play the game and build those skills at a young age. So far they've been doing really well ... They're like little sponges; they just eat it up."
The primary advantage of the program, creators believe, is the knowledge and experience that a trained coaching staff lends to the novice players. As a pre-training program of sorts for the Spanish Springs Soccer Club, which hosts 17 club teams for players ages 10 to 18, the children in the Advantage Program have the benefit of being trained by coaches who have coached their older peers, and are trained and certified either through United States Youth Soccer or the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Coaches who participate in the SSSC, Moreland says, must dedicate time to coach the Advantage kids – in turn, the SSSC pays for their coaching education.
Patty Stoddard, is an example of a SSSC community member who brings years of experience to the group. Her 32 years of experience with soccer in the local community includes coaching soccer at regional high schools, watching her son grow from a local player to a professional indoor soccer player, playing and refereeing the game herself and acting as the NIAA Soccer Commissioner for Northern Nevada.
As the current Coordinator of the Advantage Program, one of the unique benefits that she sees in the program is the opportunity it gives young athletes to interact with a variety of trained coaches from all skill levels and older players, both in the SSSC and from the surrounding community.
"I think it's really great that they require their coaches and encourage their kids to give back to the community … I think they really enjoy it too," Stoddard said. "I think there's a lot of good role modeling happening with the coaches and older kids participating."
For Rudy Espinosa, a volunteer coaching assistant and Spanish Springs High School soccer player, giving back to the Advantage Program provides an opportunity to help foster interest and experience in the sport for players who are just starting out.
"It's pretty fun and you get to help the little kids get better," Espinosa said. "It's always nice to see anyone improve in a sport, and it's great to see how they start off and to help them keep improving."
Three years after first implementing the program, its creators believe their endeavor has been a success. According to Long, the first teams to ascend from the Advantage Program to the U-10 division, both for boys and girls, were very successful in their first seasons, emerging victorious over teams without similar training.
In addition to boosting the performance of kids who will likely cycle into the SSSC competitive teams, Long believes the Advantage Program is beneficial in its ability to foster the Spanish Springs soccer community by reaching out to the youngest interested participants and giving them the chance to learn to love the sport, regardless of their future soccer aspirations.
"It's special because we're growing our community in Spanish Springs and we have the opportunity to help develop the youth," he said. "If we can better these kids by even a little bit, then we're really doing a lot."
In past years, the focus of the advantage program has centered around the training and comprehensive abilities of the players in the program, with scrimmages and a few weekend games thrown in just for fun. However, in accordance with a parental desire to see their kids in action, the Advantage Program secured the privilege to enroll its teams in the Great Basin Youth Soccer League's recreational competition lineup for the first time this spring.
Throughout the two-month season, participants are offered the opportunity to play in eight Saturday games against peers of their age level. Regardless of the new game schedule, organizers say that the main focus remains on teamwork and skill development – not on a tally of wins and losses.
"Our kids win and lose games like everybody else. It's just not about winning for us — we're looking to build our skills," Moreland said. "When they get into competitive soccer, that's when they can worry about wins and losses."
Karina Cisneros, whose 7-year-old daughter has participated in both the spring and fall sessions, sees the Advantage Program as the ideal way to introduce her daughter to the mechanics and teamwork of the sport, without a focus on competition.
"(She's learned) to manage the ball. She enjoys it and really wants to continue with it," Cisneros said. "Now that they're little I think practice and skill (is most important), but as she gets older, I'd eventually like to see her try it competitively."
In Stoddard's opinion, one of the things that makes the SSSC and its Advantage Program unique is the family and community dynamic that surrounds and supports the players of all age groups.
It's a feeling that you just can't miss, she says, on those weeknight evenings at Lazy 5.
"It's kind of like the soccer community is raising the neighborhood kids ... It's so family oriented. People come out (to Lazy 5), the parents sit around where the kids are playing ... It's just a very nice atmosphere," Stoddard said. "Soccer is just one of those games where meeting another 'soccer person' makes them just like family."

I feel the dub music ruined the episode for me....
Compared to the Japanese version of this episode, the dub version left me depressed.
It was ok, I guess.
Last edited by Ambipom666; 15th January 2011 at 08:36 AM.
For once
I'm actually dissapointed in the choice of music...
"Now that is beautiful! See! ...Look at the fireworks! Aren't they splendid?"
-Frieza from" DBZ Kai"
And that's how I'd describe this episode. It kicked ass! The climax, especially!
I'm a tad disappointed that Type Wild English wasn't used for the dub but the English dub managed to be equally epic as the Japanese version with a karaoke version of "The Ultimate Challenge." Gotta make do with what you got.
Ash and Paul's rivalry really went out with a big bang! Great job, Infernape! Great job, Ash! And great job, Paul!
Edit: As for the rest of the music, I would've used the Japanese music to amplify the dub's epicness. But the dub (standing on it own) wasn't too bad. It just could've been better.

The episode itself was excellent. 10/10
However... the dub completely ruined it. After seeing it today, it left me very depressed. 6.7/10
Total average: 8.35/10

Also disappointed by the music. I don't remember the end of the episode being so.....quiet.
Other than that, they did a great job with the dub. I didn't hear a single awkward-sounding line. They also did a good job keeping Paul's character intact.
I'd give it an 8/10, with two points taken out for the music.
with the slurping?
The epic battle, of course, speaks for itself.
Holy shit. Okay, I'm pretty pissed right now, but let's start off with what I thought were the GOOD points:
-Brock's lines were beautifully done. "Two sides of a same coin" fighting toward the same goal. <3
-I wasn't even mad when Paul used the word "pathetic" against Infernape. I was pretty fitting since I think at that point he was trying to edge Infernape on.
-The ending scene when Paul walked away...well, you know. I can't be completely disappointed by that ;) The way the characters were written and voiced were to my satisfaction. Ash's "You're going now?" was super cute!
Now...the big thorn in the episode:
Okay TCPI, I get it...you want to keep Paul a jerk. I'm kinda used to it by now, and I'm glad that by this episode, you cured it a bit. But that ending scene would have been a lot cuter if you'd built up to it instead of making Paul's kindness come out of nowhere. Just my two cents.
And the music...good Arceus. I know that Type Wild! couldn't have been kept...I'm cool with that. But the song in place of it was WAY too quiet. In fact, the entire episode was too quiet...the music is supposed to heighten the emotions during that final epic showdown and TCPI failed to do that.
And don't get me started on Chiisaki Mono. They've used it before, I swear. So why feel the need to replace it?
This is my favorite episode of all time! Rivalry well ended :)
"seasons change, people change"
I mean, I noticed the quiet aspect of the episode, but do people really keep track of the titles of each piece of music just to pick the episode apart for not being faithful to the original? I'm not denying the silence of the episode, but the goal is to heighten the emotion of the scene, not pay homage to Tokyo, Japan.
But the fact that the music didn't heighten the emotions during the TWO SCENES WHERE THEY NEEDED IT THE MOST kinda grinds my gears.
Replacements are fine. But when it's too quiet or lackluster...I get disappointed.
And Chiisaki Mono has been used for Cacnea's goodbye and Dawn's talk with her mom at the end of the GF. Why would they go through the trouble of replacing it?
"seasons change, people change"
Was the dialogue at least more of the same in the Paul/Ash exchange at the end?
Lol, I'm not surprised they used the word "Pathetic" again. Though for once it wasn't that much different from the original..in which he said something along the lines of "Is that all of your power? You continue to disappoint me/Don't disappoint me again."

New York Jets 2014 News and Updates
4/16/14 - Get ready for a battle of quarterback redemption when you catch the New York Jets in preseason this year! Starter Geno Smith will have to show his worth when veteran challenger Michael Vick gets going, and they're likely to find their old QB Mark Sanchez when NY takes on Philadelphia in Week 4. See who's in the starting position come Week 1 of preseason when the New York Jets take on Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. A highly anticipated preseason matchup falls in Week 3, when the New York Jets face off against the New York Giants. If Vick ends up playing backup, he'll get a shot as his former team, the Eagles, when NY travels to Philadelphia in Week 4. Let the quarterback games begin with New York Jets tickets!
2/12/14 – New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richard won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award for 2013. With Muhammad Wilkerson and Damon Harrison, the Jets had one of the best defensive lines in the league despite their youth (before 2013, the four starters had a combined four years of NFL experience). The quarterback situation in New York is a little less stable. Mark Sanchez had a minor knee surgery in addition to the season-ending on his shoulder; the USC alum is expected to be released. Backup Matt Simms was signed to a one year deal after he was projected to be a free agent this offseason. And, Geno Smith, who led the Jets to an 8-8 season is not guaranteed the starting job. Smith completed 55.8 percent of his passes for 3,046 yards, 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions during last year's campaign. The Jets recently announced the hiring of Tomas McGaughey (LSU) as the new special teams coordinator.

2013 Season
12/16/13- The New York Jets were dominated by the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, falling 20-30 on the road. In a postgame interview, Geno Smith felt he "let Rex Ryan down" and was responsible for the loss by failing to play a turnover-free day and making his fifth pick-6 of the season (tying a franchise record). The Jets could not score a 2nd straight victory, resulting in the team's third consecutive losing season. Next week, New York will host the Cleveland Browns, hoping for redemption at home. New York Jets tickets are $129 on average and $24 to get-in on the action.
12/10/13 - The New York Jets prolonged playoff hopes for another week, when they dominated the Oakland Raiders, 37-27, at home on Sunday. Geno Smith looked better than he has in weeks, throwing his first TD pass since October. With three must-win games left, the Jet's roller coaster season has left them hanging by a thread as AFC postseason long shots. A challenge comes their way Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, a squad looking to bounce back from their rough loss to the Saints. Get ready for some action because every game is now a playoff game! New York Jets tickets are hot at $141 on average, but you can get in for only $18.
12/3/13 - The New York Jets were gutted by the Miami Dolphins on home turf, 23-3. Struggling rookie Geno Smith hasn't thrown a TD in over a month, and was benched at halftime in favor of Matt Simms, who committed 2 turnovers in his stead. Smith is presumed to be under center this Sunday against the Oakland Raiders in their next effort to boost their record over .500. The Jets may be long shots, but they have remained competitive in the AFC wildcard race and now that the young QB's job is in question, don't-miss what must be a redeeming performance! New York Jets tickets are hot this week, at $187 on average.
11/26/13 - The New York Jets snapped their win-lose pattern, but not in a good way. Geno Smith and company lost two back-to-back games for the first time this season, falling to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday (3-19). Rex Ryan is now faced with a tough QB situation: either bench the struggling rookie for the time being and start Matt Simms or David Garrard in the big AFC East Sunday showdown, or ride it out with Geno, who hasn't thrown a TD pass in 4 straight games (also due in part to his sorry offensive weapons). Still, the Jets are very alive in the playoff run, and they will look to halt their two game skid against the Miami Dolphins, who hold the same 5-6 record. New York Jets tickets are a more expensive than the
Thanksgiving games
, at $259 on average—the second highest of the week.
11/19/13- The New York Jets fell to the Buffalo Bills Sunday morning, 14-37, unable to shake their win-lose pattern this season. They have now become the first team in NFL history to carry the alternating record through the first 10 games. In the battle of rookie QBs, the young Geno Smith fell apart opposite returned EJ Manuel. Smith threw 8 of 23, with three interceptions and one fumble before being benched—another inconsistent performance that has stirred up desire to give backup Matt Simms some practice time. For now, the Jets will look to bounce back and achieve a win over the Baltimore Ravens when they meet in Maryland on Sunday. New York Jets tickets are just $23 to get in!
11/12/13 - The New York Jets will be coming off their bye week pitted against the Buffalo Bills, with the recent big victory over the New Orleans Saints behind them. Adding more power to their punch, the Jets welcome the return of Santonio Holmes and Kellen Winslow, giving more options to rookie Geno Smith, who is struggling in the pass game. The Jets will look to end their tendency to win-one-lose-one each week, with a solid victory over the Bills this Sunday. New York Jets tickets see some of the lower prices of the week, at $88 on average.
11/5/13 - The New York jets stunned the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, with a 26-20 underdog victory. Geno Smith (one rushing TD) and company bested Drew Brees with their legs, as the 14-point contribution from kicker Nick Folk and running back Chris Ivory's 139 yards put up major points. The Jets defense was also able to convert two Saints' turnovers for 10 points and collapsed the pocket all day, with two sacks and 6 QB tackles on the typically stoic Brees. In a great Sunday team-effort, the boys helped head coach Rex Ryan hold off twin brother Rob for another game. The New York Jets are now heading into their bye week at 5-4. They next face the Buffalo Bills in New York on November 17.
10/29/13 - The New York Jets were throttled by the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, losing 9-49. New York boasts one of the best defenses in the league, stymieing Tom Brady a week prior, but they were no-shows on Sunday, allowing Andy Dalton (career-high 5 touchdowns) and Marvin Jones to run wild. Geno Smith's inconsistent showing (throwing two pick-6s on Sunday before being pulled) is consistent with the Giants' hot and cold, win-one-lose-one scenario—a habit that has rendered them inept at the .500 mark. Head coach Rex Ryan will host twin brother, Rob, as ushers in the New Orleans Saints for Week 9. New York Jets tickets are $203 on average, and $57 to get in.
10/22/13 - The New York Jets squeaked by the New England Patriots 30-27, and improve to 4-3 on the season after Sunday's game. The end score was determined by a technically good, but controversial new "pushing" call, which debuted on Sunday: it designates that defenders cannot come from the second level and push one of their teammates forward. Belichick's mistake resulted in a 15-yard penalty and granted Nick Folk a second chance and much better field position to seal the deal in overtime: a 42-yard field goal that shocked their AFC East rivals into submission. Geno Smith had a great game and showed some maturity, finishing 17 of 33 for 233 yards, recovering from a first quarter pick-six to give the Jets a third quarter lead, while New York's defense held Brady to just 22 of 46 pass attempts. The Jets are scheduled to play the Cincinnati Bengals next, who are flying high after trumping the Detroit Lions. For what is sure to be a good on-the-road match up, New York Jets tickets are just $71 on average.
10/16/13 - Geno Smith and the New York Jets fall to a 3-3 record following their 19-6 loss to the (previously winless) Pittsburgh Steelers. It was not a clean game for rookie quarterback Geno Smith, now with 10 interceptions on the season, who previously performed a great comeback in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. The New York Jets schedule will be unforgiving in upcoming weeks, as they face three ravenous teams in the top eight: New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals and the New Orleans Saints in tandem. Rex Ryan has lost to Bill Belichick through five straight games, but his position as head coach is wobbly and he is yearning for an extension for at least another next year, so a win against the Patriots would be momentous. Geno Smith and company will be hoping to shrug off a morale-crushing home loss to shape up for their face off against the visiting New England team. New York Jets tickets are $47 to start, and average $211.
10/8/13 - The New York Jets snatched victory from the eager Atlanta Falcons in a nail biting Monday Night Football finish.
Geno Smith
, who made a poor showing against the Tennessee Titans last week, looked more like a patient veteran than a restless rookie quarterback in the Georgia Dome last night. A composed Smith threw three touchdown passes, and in a moment quarterbacks live for, led a late fourth quarter game-winning drive, allowing Nick Folk to score a 43-yard field goal on the last play. The New York Jets will play the winless Pittsburgh Steelers at home in MetLife Stadium with an opportunity to further bolster the team's conviction in the AFC East. New York Jets tickets are $48 to get in and average $201 a seat.
10/1/13 - The New York Jets are 2-2 after a messy 13-38 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Attributing to this defeat was the NY's 4 turnovers, and quarterback Geno Smith was subject to five sacks and pressure on over 50% of his drop backs, cutting his chances to make plays due to offensive line breakdowns and Geno's tendency to hold onto the ball for too long. Still, Smith is the second most accurate deep passer in the league coming into Week 5, completing 57.1% of his throws over 20 yards. The Jets will be missing starting receivers Santonio Holmes up to a month with a hamstring injury, and Stephen Hill with a concussion; New York has since picked up free agent and veteran wide receiver David Nelson to pick up the slack. Next up, the Jets will travel to the Georgia Dome to play the Atlanta Falcons who recently lost to the Patriots. New York Jets tickets are a low $17 to get in in Atlanta.
9/24/13 - Despite racking up an alarming 20 penalties (setting a new franchise record), the Jets defeated the Buffalo Bills 27-20. Rookie Geno Smith is hitting his stride, having thrown two big touchdowns and hitting 300 yards, including a huge 69-yard touchdown pass to key wide receiver Santonio Holmes, to carry the team past the Bills on Sunday. The Jets are definitely the top team in New York, although that's not saying much given the train wreck season for the Giants, and hope to come out on top over the Tennessee Titans as well. The Jets are anticipating tapping into their potentially explosive passing game at LP Field in Nashville this Sunday; tickets for this matchup are as low as $15, and averaging $79.
New York Jets 2014 Season
2013 Season
If the Jets hope to play
Super Bowl XLVIII
in their home stadium in February, they will need the 2013 season to run a little smoother than last. From their ill-advised trade for Tim Tebow, to Mark Sanchez's infamous Thanksgiving butt-fumble, the Jets' season was a comedy of errors. This season, Sanchez will compete for the starting quarterback job with second round draft pick Geno Smith. Average price for Jets tickets at home is $234, eleventh highest in the league and 23% higher than the league average. Jets home tickets are 36% lower than the
New York Giants
, who also play at the
MetLife Stadium
… more
The Jets open the regular season at home against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
and their former All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis on September 8th. Bucs vs. Jets tickets for the home opener are currently averaging $239, with a get-in price of $46. Averaging $304, the Week 6 home game against the
Pittsburgh Steelers
is the most expensive this season on the New York Jets schedule. The Week 7 game against the rival
New England Patriots
and former backup Tebow is a close second, with an average price of $302. The Patriots vs. Jets game in New England is averaging $501 and is currently the fifth most expensive game in the NFL this season. The least expensive Jets regular season game is against the
Cleveland Browns
in Week 17, with an average price of $170.

Love my Crocs.
I've been wearing Crocs for a few years now and I love them. They are comfortable, they breathe so your feet do not perspire. I also love the fact that they brought back the College Crocs. I had a pair of Gator Crocs a few years back and they wore out. Then was told that Crocs was no longer making the College crocs. Well, I just happened to go on the Crocs web site and there they were. Made my day. I just love my Crocs and would recommend them to anyone of any age.

I have a colleague who wants me to jailbreak his previously un-jailbroken 3GS for him. Luckily it has the older bootrom that is susceptible to jailbreaking.
Unluckily, he allowed it to be upgraded to 3.1.3 by iTunes and the baseband is now at 05.12.01. As it was previously not jailbroken, the ECID SHSH is not on file with Cydia.
I would just like to confirm that, as of right now, this phone is not able to be jailbroken at all. Is that correct? It does not need to be unlocked, just jailbroken.

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 2006
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
- Determine the safety and toxicity of intratumoral and/or resection cavity administration of a recombinant, attenuated Edmonston B vaccine strain derivative of measles virus genetically engineered to produce human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this oncolytic virus in these patients.
- Determine viral gene expression at each dose level as manifested by CEA titers in patients treated with this oncolytic virus.
- Assess viremia, viral replication, and measles virus shedding/persistence after intratumoral administration of this oncolytic virus.
- Assess humoral and cellular immune response to the injected virus in these patients.
- Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor efficacy of this vaccine in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 sequential treatment groups.
- Group 1 (resection cavity administration): Patients undergo en block resection of their tumor (after confirming diagnosis) on day 1, followed by recombinant measles virus encoding human carcinoembryonic antigen (MV-CEA) administered into the resection cavity over 10 minutes.
- Group 2 (intratumoral and resection cavity administration): Patients undergo placement of a catheter within the tumor, followed by MV-CEA administration into the tumor through the catheter over 10 minutes on day 1. Patients undergo en block resection of their tumor with computer-assisted stereotactic techniques on day 5, followed by MV-CEA administered around the tumor bed.
In both groups, cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of MV-CEA until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD in group 1 has been determined, patients are assigned to group 2. The MTD in group 1 is used to determine the starting dose in group 2. At least 10 patients are treated at the MTD determined in group 2.
Biopsy specimen, resected tumor, normal tissue, and peripheral blood are collected during study for immunologic and biomarker correlative studies, including analysis of CD46 receptor levels (by immunohistochemistry [IHC]), measles virus N protein (by IHC), measles and viral gene expression and replication (by in situ hybridization), CEA monitoring (by immunoassay), measles virus N mRNA (by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction), and measles virus immunity. Assessments of immune competence and peripheral response to viral administration are also performed.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 15 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study.

i wouldn't have used the TY
Sorry if this is considered a double post - I had posted this in another thread, but didn't get a confirmation that my configuration is ok. I'm just about ready to pour concrete and want to make sure I'm not making a mistake.
Can someone please have a look at how I connected the toilet and shower drain to my sewer pipe and let me know if this is ok? I'm not sure if the use of a sanitary tee is ok or not. I couldn't find a way to use a wye and still get my closet flange where it needs to be.
Last edited by oIIIIIo; 07-18-2012 at 07:15 AM.
I wasn't really comfortable with the T-Y either, but I couldn't fit a wye unless I did away with the backflow valve.
I pulled up the carpet in another room and uncovered a mysterious sump that I haven't opened since I bought the house. I opened it up and low and behold there was a backflow valve installed after all.
I pulled the other backflow valve that I previously installed and used a 45 elbow and a wye to connect the toilet and shower drain. I presume this is a better solution. I'm more comfortable covering it up now, but if there is still something wrong here, please let me know ASAP.
I would be willing to bet that any backwater valve that old is almost completely non-functional by now. The toilet connection looks okay, but we cannot tell what your other piping is like, since that COULD affect whether it is done right or not. What is the white "bulbous" thing on the 2" line and is it connected to the 3" one with a backwards "Y"?

I don't understand why there are pvc fittings on abs piping...
They are incompatible to be sure. We can't mix materials like that.I don't understand why there are pvc fittings on abs piping...
The ABS pipe with the PVC elbows on it is just a perferated 3" drain tile that runs under my slab. I couldn't find any ABS fittings that would fit this pipe, and they are not glued anyway so I didn't figure it would be a problem.
If it is "undersized" SDR pipe, then it is PVC, regardless of the color, because they never made ABS pipe that thin.

I vaguely remember seeing one of the Clint Eastwood/orangutan movies in Columbia, KY— perhaps this is the place. The Columbian Theatre was closed in late-2009.

This is an August 1950 lobby card for the Columbian Theater.
Here is a website with some photos of this theater.
"The Red Menace" is funny now, almost sixty years later, due to its Red-baiting melodramatics, but it was taken quite seriously in its day. This is from Boxoffice magazine, May 1950:
According to Mrs. Clyde Marshall, co-owner of the Columbian, Columbia, "The Red Menace" in its two-day run at the theater played to far better than average grosses. Responsible for the large attendance at the showings in large part was the local VFW post, which sponsored the program and shared in the receipts.
I'm not surprised that the VFW would sponsor a movie exposing the Communist Party.
