This stylish beach house at Buckletons Bay provides beachfront holiday accommodation for year-round relaxation and recreation just north of Auckland. Overlooking Kawau Bay the house is centrally located for trips in the Matakana region, including Leigh, Omaha, Sandspit, Warkworth, Scott's Landing and Matakana itself.
The house is wonderful for couples, great for a family or two, and can sleep up to eight people. It is secluded, with sea views framed by pohutukawa trees. In winter relax by the logburner; in summer stay cool with gentle sea breezes. Buckletons beach is sandy, safe, great for swimming at any tide and just 50m from the house. It is easy to launch boats off the beach at any tide. In the summer small boat sailing is popular, and people head out in their speedboats fishing or to visit the more remote beaches of Kawau Bay. The bay is fantastic for shoreline and estuary kayaking adventures. Two sit-on kayaks are available for your use, with life jackets.
Visit the Matakana markets, the many vineyards in this developing wine region, and the beautiful Tawharanui and Scandretts regional parks. Ride the new cycleway to Omaha, Point Wells and Matakana. Drive 15-20 minutes to Goat Island where you can snorkel or dive in the marine reserve, or visit the impressive new visitor centre. If you want more of an energetic challenge, climb Mt Tamahunga; it has some wonderful nikau groves and interesting bush. Catch the ferry to Kawau Island. There are activities galore in this area.

YORK — A York carpenter who police say beat his son in the chest with a belt and dragged the boy across a room by his hair asked a judge on Saturday if he still had to pay child support while in jail.
Thats a question youll need to address with a different judge, more specifically a family court judge, York County Magistrate Lewis Malphrus told him.
Malphrus then gave Lemuel William Ballard a $10,000 bond upon the condition that he is to have no contact with his 10-year-old son and alleged abuse victim.
Police on Friday charged Ballard, 36, with unlawful conduct toward a child after they say he used corporal punishment on his son, leaving the boy with bruises that turned blue on his back side, according to an arrest warrant.
The boy told officers that his father hit him with a belt, which left a mark across his chest, the warrant states. Later the same day, police say Ballard grabbed his son by his hair and dragged the boy across a room.
Police also arrested Ballard, who said in court that hes a carpenter and father to three children, on two outstanding forgery warrants.
Malphrus told him he is not to have any contact with his, even though hes only 10.

"solid sequel"
Savor The Moment has likeable characters and a simple but entertaining plot. The narration was OK.
"nothing too exciting"
Well equipped young man and many, many women. There is not much more to say.
Interesting and highly entertaining interpretation of Shakespeare's play. No comparison to the lines we all had to read in school!
Richard Armitage's reading is phenomenal: Listening to him is a sensual experience.
"good but predictable"
The plot starts out quite well and having listened to "A Conflict of Interest" only recently I could easily get into the story or rather its setting. However, the characters remained mostly superficial and it was soon predictable who the bad guys were. As long as the plot was tightly woven with turns and twists this wouldn't be too bad, however, there was not much unforeseeable twisting and turning here.
Don't get me wrong: It is still an enjoyable listen, but Mitzner set the bar with "A Conflict of Interest" so high that I am actually disappointed. I'm missing depths and character development in this story, it seems as if the author was in a hurry to produce a sequel to his first hit.
As to the narration: It was no comparison to David LeDoux's excellent performance in "A Conflict of Interest." Collins performed rarely in favour of the story but more often he overdid it which made it strenuous to liste to.
"Amazing listen"
I enjoyed this one a lot, in fact I stopped early at red lights to make sure I could listen a bit longer! Some of the plot was foreseeable but there where many minor twists and turns that kept the book at a very good pace. It's not a thriller in the typical sense, but that's nice for a change, and you get more character development here. Looking forward to the next book from this author.
Excellent narration.
"sweet ending to the series"
I enjoyed the last instalment of the series even more than the first one. I skipped the second book due to the reviews here and which obviously is really not necessary to be read. Again, the narrative style of using two characters helps a lot to keep the - admittedly simple romantic story - interesting.
Narration is well done.
Thin plot, poor narration style and a weak narrator: I was happy when the book finally ended. Can't recommend this one.
"one of the better romance novels"
However, at times the female lead character got on my nerves, she did some childish things. That made him the more so a loveable hero though.
Narration is OK but not outstanding.
"highly recommendable"
Enjoyed this one a lot. The male point of view makes for a nice twist, gives more room to experiment.
Narration is excellent. - Looking forward the next book in the series.
"perfect for Christmas"
Lovely plot of two people who haven't be that fortunate recently and fall in love around Christmas time. Short but entertaining with good narration.
"romantic novella, part 3"
Another "chapter" of the love story of overweight Liss and super-sexy rock star Joe. Unfortunately way not that original than the first book. However, the narration is better than in in the first book.

A Bassist's Mandatory Moves

Yeah I got a move: Play.
Actually I really don't do much but play onstage. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing things onstage, but it's not really my style. Plus I find that it hinders my concentration and makes me slightly less tight for playing. Plus I keep my bass rather high so it's a little difficult to do some of the abovementioned moves. I think the Megadeth style that Subsonic described is awesome (the legs far apart) especially his addition of playing the bass vertically, but I don't do it myself really.
I guess I'm just not a good enough musician to be able to do that stuff comfortably while playing, and the other reason is that is just don't feel like I want to. I guess it all depends on the music style too. In one of my bands (well more like ex-bands ...) I did some of that stuff, but only when I felt compelled to do it-ie headbanged only on riffs that I really liked instead of on all fast/thrashy riffs.
Some people say to think outside the box.
I say do away with it. You can always stand in its former location if you need to make use of the perspective it gave you, but will benefit from the ability to situate yourself in different loci with ease.
Destroy the box.

Video: Change – P*ssy Buffet
June 15, 2012 1 Comment
Remember last year when Blame didn't show up for his SDMA win and then some other rapper stormed the stage? This is that dude. This song/video is hilarity. Though I'd probably pass on the beat otherwise.
Reading be fun though:

This is going to be another all-over-the-place post, so sorry in advance. I'm also open to advice from other foster/foster-adoptive parents with vastly unequal divisions of labor, because it's looking again like Lee is going to have to compartmentalize in a way that leaves me with the bulk of the work. I thought about putting that in a separate post but I don't really want it in a separate post. I know there are a lot of people who do this and I believe we can make it work. For a while, anyway. Well, I hope so. Sigh.
One thing Lee is doing really well is dealing with Mara's family. She was really threatened by the idea of openness before finalization, always afraid that someone would try to lay claim to Mara in a way that could lead to Mara for some reason being moved. Even after our social worker reassured her and reassured her that TPR really was final and that everyone was on the same page about how another move would be a very bad thing for Mara, it took her a while to get to the point where she felt okay about taking Mara for a visit or even being open about the idea of that. But then she absolutely fell in love with Mara's siblings and the brave, resilient women who are raising them. (And I hope it doesn't sound like I'm playing with Strong Black Woman stereotypes here, but it takes some guts and persistence to take in and raise a relative's child or in one case four children without much support or safety net. Certainly we have not only more resources from a financial perspective but in terms of what the state provides us to raise Mara.)
Anyway, Lee did make contact with Mara's dad. Samara had let word trickle down to him that we were trying to find him, and he was thrilled about it. Lee was able to stop, say hello, drop off pictures, and then later on Friday went back to the place where he works when he was done working so they could sit and talk for about an hour. We know a fair amount about him going into this, know why he's been in trouble with the law and what Mara's siblings' guardians think of him. We are lucky enough to be in a position where we're dealing with someone who was a good parent to Mara during the time he was her day-to-day parent and is mentally healthy and not violent. If timing had been different, would he have wanted to become Mara's full-time parent when she had to leave her mother's care? I don't know, and I don't know if it's something he'll ever be able to talk about with us. I just know that he loved her but that he was definitely inaccessible at a time when she needed parenting. And I know that she loves him so much and remembers some of their time together clearly.
Friday afternoon, Mara talked to her dad for the first time since some time before her second birthday and maybe much earlier. She got to tell him that she loved him, and she tells us he said something about how sorry he is that he wasn't a part of her life. She talked to him again last night and had me pull up the one photo we have of him, something she hasn't asked for in quite a while. He's been part of her conversation all weekend in a different way. She's so happy that she got to talk to him, but she's also cried for a little while on many of the last few nights about how much she misses her family. There's not really much I can say except that yeah, it's absolutely sad and she should feel free to cry if that's how she needs to express it. So I tell her that and that I love her, and she cries a bit and snuggles against me and eventually falls asleep.
Tonight, her last night as a three-year-old, Mara will be dressed like a ladybug and she'll get to go trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. Val and Alex are also looking forward to putting on costumes and makeup and heading out for candy. Their dad is busy doing some of the work he needs to do to regain custody of them, but their mom is going to drive over to our house and come with the kids and me as we go out. Lee suddenly became worried this morning about whether we're putting ourselves at risk by letting the kids' parents know where we live, but the kids know and it wouldn't be hard for them to find out if they wanted to. Plus again, we know about what their histories are and I know how much I like and respect their mom. I know she'll feel better once she's seen the room her kids share and I know how much she wanted to see them in her costumes. She's working a grueling schedule that kept her from participating in any of the things we did this weekend, and it only seems fair to include her in this. The kids are thrilled about seeing their mom and I think it will be extra fun for all of us. I'm also hoping that once Lee meets her in-person, she'll be able to let go of some of the reservations she has. Really, anything positive would be good.
I've also been pushing the social workers to make a change in how we'll get some respite. Basically, Val and Alex have two households of relatives who've been deemed "safe" by the state as potential placements for them. One is the relative in our town who took custody of them after their immediate family hit crisis but who wasn't able to keep up that level of involvement, which is what brought them to us. The other relatives did their post-crisis support by letting the kids' parents move in with them while getting back on their feet. What I hadn't realized is that the kids' caretaker relative had been sending the kids to the other relatives every weekend so they could have supervised visitation all weekend long the whole time the kids were living with her. I'd known the social workers talked about whether or not "relative-supervised visits" would be okay once the kids entered our care, but I assumed they meant that the relative who'd been raising them also had been the one supervising, which is not the case.
The kids' parents are frustrated because the kids entered our care because of the relative's needs rather than because the parents were not making progress. And yet that means that family visits have gone from being whole-weekend affairs to one hour each week with a social worker watching through the glass. I know Lee was able to express some of her frustrations to the family's social worker when she dropped the kids off after last week's visit. Meanwhile I was with the kids' mom at Alex's parent-teacher meeting. Both conversations ended up discussing these visits and that the only reason they ended was that the young and relatively inexperienced social worker thought that visits like that weren't appropriate for children in foster care, though it was the exact same family and situation as it had been before the kids came to us. I emailed her suggesting that we move on getting those visits reinstated as soon as possible since it would give us/Lee the respite break we need and would also let the kids spend more meaningful time with their parents, who want to have that time with them and are frustrated that as they've done more to comply with their case plans they've ended up with less access to their kids.
The social workers are all on the same page about this, now, and I think we're all headed in a positive direction here. I'm a little sad that the workers think it's so unusual that I'd bring Alex's mom to his parent-teacher conference (which ended up being a great situation!) or to trick-or-treat with the kids. Again, there are lots of reasons this might not be appropriate, but we feel that we know what's going on in terms of safety and that if the court feels that we can supervise visits with the kids' parents we might as well supervise them in ways that are positive toward developing a stronger family relationship and meaningful memories. I'm hoping and assuming that the kids will get to have Thanksgiving with their family not because I don't want them at our celebration (though honestly Lee might feel that way, as she's having a hard time with meals) but because I don't see any reason for them to not be with their family. Now, reasons could arise and everything could change, but that's where we are right now.
So maybe their mom will get to be the one who puts the vampire makeup on Alex tonight and I'm not threatened by that. I'm stopping at the store on my way home to pick up photos of Mara with her siblings to send to her family and Val and Alex in the costumes their parents bought them to give to their mom. We've chosen to become parents in a way that involves complicated family relationships, and I think it's a good thing for all of us but especially the kids that we've chosen to embrace that rather than just acknowledge it. We're lucky in that we're not parenting kids who've been abused by their parents (as far as we can tell) and that makes it much easier to be open and forgiving while still keeping a close eye on everything. The kids' mom keeps saying how grateful she is to know that the kids are safe and cared for, to have access to them through things like phone calls. I'm just glad we can give her a little more. For tonight, it will be something new. There will be three happy little kids at our house tonight and three different moms with different perspectives on all of this, but we can work together. We can do our best. I still have lots of hope.

We are Wesleyan in theology and practice.
This coming Sunday service is the second in a series on knowing God through the names for God in the Old Testament. The first was Knowing God: El and Elohim. This Sunday we will hear a message on the name for God Yahweh, which was used more than 6,000 times in the Hebrew scriptures. Come and learn about the ineffability of God, and the fact that God is larger than our understanding. The four letter word YHWH as the main word for God for the Hebrew people, was a word that was assigned great reverence and which the Hebrews declared too holy to be spoken aloud. The most important meaning of Yahweh is: a. God is consistent, holy, and righteous; b. God is forgiving. We encounter in this word the fact that God's holiness calls us to holiness of thought, life, and character. Every Sunday we encounter God's loving presence as a way to heal our lives and hearts for service of the new order of God's Kingdom. We are forgiven so as to be a God-empowered community of forgiveness.
Our schedule is as follows: Monday noon Celebrate Recovery for Habits, Hangups, and Hurts; Tuesday and Thursday ZUMBA; Wednesday 6 p.m.; Weight Watchers; 7:30 p.m. Christian Yoga; Thursday 10 a.m. Piecemakers; Friday 10:30 a.m. Christian Yoga.

Lowndes County: 1860.
Valdosta was being created to meet the railroad passing through the region. There were 5,249 people living in Lowndes County, breaking down to 2,850 whites, 2,399 blacks. No freed blacks. All slaves. For an average of a 45.7 percent slave population.
An average higher than neighboring 1860s Echols County at basically 21 percent, but lower than Brooks County's 51.7 percent.
These are some of the statistics from the 1860 Slave Census which a Valdosta State University instructor has been working to transcribe to computerized digital files.
Mark George, Mary Turner Project coordinator with the VSU Department of Women and Gender Studies, seeks students and history buffs interested in volunteering to complete the census endeavor.
"Over the years, the Mary Turner Project has encountered people, both African-American and
white, who don't have access to the 1860 or 1850 U.S. Census Slave Schedules so that they can research their ancestors," according to the census project's mission statement. "Therefore, the MTP is currently converting the data from the 1860 Census (for Lowndes and other counties throughout Georgia) with the goal of posting it in a searchable form on a free, public website. At some point in the future, we would also like to expand this project to include all former slave-owning states throughout the Deep South. We also plan to sponsor a public forum on the project when we launch the website this spring. We are currently in the process of uploading county slave schedules for Georgia."
This information comes from the website: http://www.maryturner.org/slavedataproject.htm This site also provides a look at documents and other information involved with both digitizing the census and on the Mary Turner Project.
George says the information helps with understanding the region's history but it may help individuals better understand their ancestry. Digitizing this information makes it more accessible for historians and people seeking the genealogy of their family trees.
As for people who may ask, why bring this up? Why dig into this past? George says, "We can't be selective about history. History cannot just be what makes us feel good, or it becomes a fairy tale."
The trouble is Americans, and especially Southerners, George says, have avoided speaking on these subjects for so long that they do not know how to talk about it.
Working on projects such as the census can provide a window into the past but may also serve as a springboard into discussions for the future.

Ok, this isn't unusual in itself but the assay marks on the back are proving difficult.
I sent pictures to both the maker, Fattorini & Sons, and the Birmingham assay office and both replied with the date 1937, which is impossible as this Avon logo didn't exist until 1938/9.
The shape of the 'A' is subtly different from others I've seen online, with rounded, more sweeping soft edges & the seed pearls look very different to later ones I've found from the 1950s & 60s by Fattorini and Balfour.
Either the assay office is wrong or its a mistake or its a genuine early Avon pin, hitherto unknown.
The spelling of 'honour' suggests its either Canadian or English, which only deepens the mystery as Avon didn't start in the UK until the '50s
Any help solving this mystery would be very much appreciated, as always.
Maybe there's an Avon collector here somewhere? :)
Thank you

Good purevpn review which examines purevpn to hidemyass
There are actually rumors that purevpn is undoubtedly an specific mirror to hidemyass when trying to get the best vpn provider. Frequently, this purevpn review will stand robust to provide together with the pros and cons that surround purevpn and the probability of this unbelievable vpn program developed into a substitute for hidemyass. Despite the fact that you would probably identify a unique purevpn review that compares this strategic assistance positively, the fact that you'll find around fifty servers in fourteen countries suggests that the flexibility prolonged by this provider is way past its competition and thus why people say that it's the finest option to hidemyass.

Al Michaels and Fred Gaudelli
August 10, 2007 11:11 AM
Wow, that was a nice change of pace for the summer sports lineups recently with the homerun watch, the X games, a good NASCAR race, the NFL Hall of Fame ceremony as well as the start of preseason football.
The most telling part of it could be in the ratings. With a steroids scandal tainting it, Barry Bonds' chase for the all-time home run record in Major League Baseball -- long considered the ultimate pinnacle of American sports -- was watched by few. Saturday night's ratings for the MLB telecast on ESPN2 in which Mr. Bonds tied Hank Aaron's mark pulled a 0.9 national rating and 2 share for the night with 1.3 million viewers. (Although, to be fair, the game aired at night on the West Coast.) Meanwhile, his record-breaking shot on Tuesday matched that score. Both of those ratings are below the season-to-date score for MLB coverage on ESPN and ESPN2. In fact, the Saturday score was nearly matched by ABC's broadcast of the X Games (0.8 rating) and bested by NASCAR's Busch Series racing on the same channel (1.2).
As we undertake the yearlong countdown to the Olympic Games, NBC this week announced it plans an unprecedented 3,600 hours of coverage of the events in Beijing next year. My math may be fuzzy, but that seems to be the equivalent of 150 straight days of watching nothing but the Games, without sleep.
The key here, of course, will be in the broadband streaming of the competitions for the first time. You have to give credit to NBC Universal Sports and NBC Olympics Chairman Dick Ebersol, who is taking every advantage possible of the company's rights to the event -- which is set through the Summer 2012 Games -- which it spent $2.2 billion to get.
Of course, the rise of digital platform rights will make contract renewal talks a high-wire act, especially with dollar figures for digital rights soaring (just ask ESPN after its renewal with the NBA). Even more interesting will be China's reaction to the bevy of press on the scene.
Speaking of Olympics, there are few memories more clear for most Americans than the U.S. win over the USSR in hockey during the Cold War era. One of our guests this week is none other than Al Michaels, who called that game.
Al has covered more major sports events than any other sportscaster, including 20 years as the play-by-play voice of "Monday Night Football," and has appeared on live primetime broadcast network television more than any person in history. He made headlines last year after leaving his longtime home at ABC to take the job of play-by-play commentator for NBC's "Sunday Night Football" along with John Madden.
I met with Al and SNF producer Fred Gaudelli here in L.A. recently and had the chance to pick their brains about the new football season, their feeling toward ABC and the stadiums they absolutely hate to work in.
What makes good chemistry in the broadcast booth?
Al: With John in particular, number one, we both love what we do. We've been doing it for a long time. I think we take a great deal of pride in getting things right, we both have a lot of passion for the game and John of course has shown that in manifest ways for a lot of years. I think we both feel that we're pretty lucky and it's an honor to be able to do something like this at this level.
People have forever been telling us that we have the best jobs in the world, I couldn't dispute that.
I've listened to John obviously for a lot of years before we got to work together and that John would be on the bus and never miss a "Monday Night" game. When we were paired together it was, in our minds, never a question that this was going to work and work great.
The irony was when this happened I read a few stories that said these two guys both eat a lot of air time and they would never mesh. We both laughed at that. We knew that this was a pairing that couldn't miss. The very first game we did, a Hall of Fame Game in 2002, by the time I got to the second commercial I looked at John and I knew what was on my mind and he said what was on his mind and it was like we've done this for 20 years even though we had only been on for 11 minutes. Right from the get-go we knew this was going to work.
My only regret is that instead of the sixth year we've been working together, it could have been the 20th.
What can we expect in season two on SNF?
Fred: I think every year we come at it looking to do it better than the year before. We're going to have some significant technical toys for lack of a better word this year, some advancements that are going to make the game easier to understand, that are going to provide more clarity to the controversial big plays of the game. We keep pushing the technology, but as it relates to Al and John, the director. The four of us have worked together for six years. It's really just trying to do it better. Al said it, we all have a lot of passion for what we do. We all want to be the best at what we do. I go back and rewatch the season after the season is over and figure out ways we can be better.
You both came over from ABC, what would you say are the cultural difference between the two companies?
Fred: There is an enormous cultural difference between the two families. Al was with ABC much longer than I was, I was only there for five years. I loved every second I was at ABC. Unfortunately, Disney decided that ABC Sports wasn't anything they wanted to take care of any longer. So "Monday Night Football" was really kind of, as was the rest of the department, left to die on the vine. It was only a matter of time before they could work out the legal aspect of merging ABC Sports with ESPN.
At NBC, they are thrilled to have this property and they support it in more ways than I ever could imagine. Obviously, Dick Ebersol is a huge factor behind that and his presence and what he means to the company and what he means to the business in general. There are really two extremes from my viewpoint from what it was like at ABC compared to what it was like here.
Al: Freddy summed it up perfectly, One similarity was that we were able to bring a lot of people with us from "Monday Night." There is that cultural difference at the top, but internally what we do production wise, we have a lot of the same people who are damn good at doing "Monday Night Football." Freddy was able to bring a good many of them over here.
So we have a lot of the parts, supplemented by some great people who came to us from the NBC end. So in many ways, that made the transition pretty easy because we had a running start. We just needed to pull a few people in. In that sense, there has been a continuum of people here despite the fact that we are now on gone from Disney to GE.
Who would you say is the most underrated sports broadcast personality right now?
Al: That's tough, there are guys I think are pretty good that the critics blast.
Fred: A guy who does it for me that really doesn't get enough acclaim is John Miller, who does baseball. I love the way he makes it fun, he know the game inside and out. He knows the rules and is always on point. So for me, he's the guy who doesn't really get the acclaim for someone who is doing a national game.
I think Ernie Johnson from a studio perspective is probably one of the best studio shows out there with TNT's NBA coverage. I think Ernie Johnson does a great job keeping those balls in the air with a total wild card like Charles Barkley. I would say those two guys probably don't get the acclaim that I think they should.
Al: In a slightly different vein here, an old partner of mine is a guy that I think is the best baseball analyst out there and that's Tim McCarver. And Tim I wouldn't say is underrated, but he has been around so long that there are varying opinions of him. I'll read some negative stuff about Tim but having worked with him and listened to him and knowing how hard he works, he brings a very fresh perspective to the game and comes in different doors like few others. I don't think there is the appreciation of Tim that there should be.
What jumps out at you in terms of your favorite memory as a sportscaster?
Al: Number one of course is the 1980 Winter Olympics, that's number one by a thousand miles. I can't even think of a scenario that could top that. It's a once in a lifetime thing. Sports Illustrated named it the greatest sports event of the 20th Century and it was because it transcended sports and it meant so much to the country at that time.
It was hockey but it was more than hockey. It was a slice of the cold war at that point. So that would be number one by a lot and forever because I just can't imagine anything like that happening again. It would have to be something on an international stage. It would have to be something that transcended sports. The world is different right now and there is no such thing as the iron curtain. Until the day comes when Al-Qaeda has an Olympic team and we beat the hell out of them, there is going to be nothing like that.
After football, what sports do you have you enjoyed calling the most?
Al: I started my career and did a ton of baseball early on and when I stopped doing it I missed the hell out of it. We stopped in '89 and we got back into it in the mid '90s with the Baseball Network and they shared the world series with at that time Bob Costas on NBC. We went back and forth from NBC to ABC and that's the last time I did baseball. So I don't miss it nearly as much as I did at that point, I've learned to live without it obviously.
I did the NBA for a couple years recently, and went in with some trepidation, I hadn't done basketball for so long and I really got to love it. Had ABC continued "MNF," I would have been able to continue on the NBA if they wanted me to. When I first agreed to do the NBA I thought I don't know how this is going to work out but by the end of the year, I was ready to reup for a while.
Hockey, I love the sport but it's the toughest sport to do. I'm not anywhere close to the best guys that can do the NHL, the Mike Emmericks of the world. They are 85 million miles ahead of where I could ever be, but I was lucky enough to do Olympic hockey which was a different brand of hockey. When you're doing Olympic hockey you are sort of teaching the audience about it along with the play by play. I felt comfortable doing that.
In the end though, football would be number one right now.
NFL ratings are still so strong compared to other sports. What's the next step for the league?
Fred: The NFL has to mind its own store and make sure that they keep everything in check and keep growing the game. As long as they keep the game front and center, which is what Roger Goodell says he wants to do, I think that they'll be safe. If the eye ever comes off the game and drifts somewhere else, then they stand a chance of becoming vulnerable. But it's tremendous and a better sport to watch on TV than to be at. As long as they keep there eye on the game, I don't think anybody would overtake them.
Al: Absolutely, one of the things about football and why football has gotten past baseball, and why basketball and hockey I don't think will ever catch up is that football is a perfect television sport. It is perfect.
You have a four or five second burst of action and then 30 to 40 seconds of inaction which is inaction if you are watching the game from the stadium but from home you might have four or five different angles and you have statistical information that can be presented. Any number of things can be done. Jimmy Johnson, former coach now with Fox, and I were talking about football on television once and I think he summed it up perfect when he said the difference between watching on TV and in the stadium is that if there was a four yard gain in the game and you are watching the game on television, we can make the gain seem like Armageddon. If you are in the stadium, a four yard gain is a four yard gain period.
On television we can show what the right guard did or watch the coach's reaction. It's an amazing thing to watch this collision that you can't see from the stands. That's why football benefits from the fact that it is made for television despite the fact that the guys wear helmets. The close angles and HD and all the stuff, even with those helmets and masks, you can get right in there and see the faces. It's spectacular.
From a broadcaster and production point of view, what's the best stadium to work in?
Al: From the announcers' point of view, the Meadowlands and Kansas City second because they were built at a time when the architects and the teams paid attention to the fact that the broadcast booth should be in a position where its easy to see the game because you are sitting at the 50 yard line and you're close to the field.
Now they've built these gigantic stadiums where they would rather sell a luxury box in that general location. In San Francisco, you might as well be calling the game from a blimp. Even with 20/20 eyesight you still can't read the numbers on the players' jerseys when you look down.
That's always frosted me when we spend as much money as we do and at Candlestick until maybe 20 years ago, the broadcast booth in the mezzanine was right at the 50 yard line. They took that away. One of the things that hurts us in this business is that while we're all in competition with each other as networks, there's a commonality of interest regarding things like that. I've always felt that once the contracts are all laid out, we should say 'hey we need certain things to happen for us or be made available to us because it will help you to.
I feel a hell of a lot better announcing a game in New York City than I do in San Francisco because I can actually see the game in front of me.
Fred: From a production point of view, the most technologically advanced stadium is Qwest Field in Seattle, because they've thought of everything from a broadcast perspective. The booth is huge, maybe not as low as at Kansas City or at the Meadowlands but it's in a pretty good spot. Any and every camera position you could ever want was accounted for and precabled.
Their Jumbotron is in high defenition, they work with you during the game so you can use it as an element during the telecast. Their fans are vastly underrated as is the football team. I really love Qwest Field in Seattle, I love Lambeau just for the tradition of it, and obviously being from New York I love the Meadowlands as well. But Qwest Field trumps any stadium when it comes to the technology.
