Elite 24: NYC legends
New York City is the Mecca of street basketball

The Under Armour Elite 24 is a celebration of streetball's past, present and future. The 2012 game will be televised live on ESPNU at 7 p.m. ET Aug. 25, with the dunk contest on ESPNU at 7 p.m. ET Aug. 24.

Xbox 360
This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Can you play 3-D games and movies on the XBox360?
Active is definitely better then passive, active has two full 1080p images, passive splits one 1080p image into two, effectively lowering the resolution to each eye. There are other benefits but that is the most prevalent.
And there are a few 3D games, you can usually activate the 3D settings under the options menu. Batman Arkham City is probably the most impressive, Crysis 2 was really solid, the COD and GOW look good but I prefer the 2D in those games, mostly from how the reticule is positioned when playing in 3D, harder to aim. The reticule in Crysis almost acts like a laser sight, it actually makes the game easier in 3D, I found anyway.
Quote:There are no 3D movies on Netflix. You can not download any movies from Netflix. Only stream and order DVD's and Blu Ray disc.
Can you order 3D DVD's or Blu Ray disc from Netflix? Not sure.
I don't recall ever receiving an option to do so.
Xbox 360 can display certain games in 3D
not sure of any others. It really depends on the developer.
Even if the game does not have 3D capabilities. Some TV's can convert 2D to 3D.
I sometimes use mine to play Super Marios Bros U in 3D.
I'm surprised your TV didn't come with glasses. Mine came with 8 pair.
Edit: in regards to netflix - Yes there are. But they are limited and only available to specific Internet providers.

Quote:Sounds like you have an active 3D TV which is why the glasses are so expensive. You should be able to find a universal pair for $50 bucks. I have a passive 3D TV. I'm able to use the same type of 3D glasses utilized in the theaters. 8-12 bucks each for glasses. Great for watching 3D Blu Ray's but not too good for gaming unless its a slow paced game. Anything with a lot of constant action and it gets pretty laggy even if you are not playing online.
Active is better than Passive, especially when it comes to gaming.
Depends on your tv with regard to the lag. My LG makes competitive gaming impossible thanks to the lag with 3D on. However, my crappy little Sony 3D tv they put out for the PS3 does it without any noticeable lag.

There are no 3D movies on Netflix. You can not download any movies from Netflix. Only stream and order DVD's and Blu Ray disc.
I've been watching tons of 3D movies on Netflix, it's pretty new but there is an entire 3D library on Netflix now and it's growing pretty quickly.

While some would call it an inevitable eventuality, others were taken a bit aback when Google teased a wearable SDK at SXSW a couple weeks back, and later announced Android Wear. For those of you playing at home, Google has created no fewer than five variants of the Android OS tuned to a specific piece or style of hardware to date - Google TV, Chromecast (which does indeed run Android), Google Glass, Nexus Q, and now Android Wear.
Update: The OTA is now live (thanks, Michael Tomy)!
Good grief, AT&T, you're not usually so far behind the pack. I imagine your Moto X customers, who've had to wait behind their counterparts at Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, and T-Mobile/unlocked carriers for the update to the slightly newer version of KitKat, aren't pleased. But if an updated Motorola support page is any indication, it looks like the Android 4.4.2 over-the-air update may be coming very soon.
Sony has been doing an admirable job keeping its Android hardware on the latest releases, and today they're bringing KitKat to three of the newest phones in their lineup. The flagship Xperia Z1, the slightly smaller Xperia Z1 Compact, and the super-sized Xperia Z Ultra all get an Android 4.4 upgrade starting now, according to this Sony Mobile blog post.
We haven't actually seen any updated devices from tipsters, and Sony makes the usual disclaimer that the rollout may vary by location and carrier.
As I'm sure you've seen by now, earlier today Google exploded a bombshell by unveiling the Android Wear smart watch initiative along with a number of partners that will be making the hardware later this year. Last but not least, the Android Wear Preview SDK was announced so that developers could start playing with the Android Wear watch emulator hooked up live to their devices and get the feel for how everything will work.
Google threw the tech world a curveball today with its new Android Wear platform, a wearable version of Android that's starting with "smart" watches. Digging through some of the developer documentation reveals even more information on the upcoming platform than what's in the consumer-facing videos. After reading through the developer site, a rough image of Android Wear begins to take shape.
There are three major functions of Wear: a Google Now-style "homescreen" with a a scrollable list of cards, a notification system that alerts you to information from your smartphone, and a series of contextual tools that pop up during certain activities.
Google this morning unveiled Android Wear, the project that will bring Android – and more importantly, Google Now – to smartwatches. Really, it's the project that will make smartwatches relevant. As part of the announcement, El Goog announced that it has already partnered with the likes of Motorola, LG, HTC, and Fossil for upcoming watches. Now, LG has made available information about its watch, which is dubbed the G Watch (as if it would be called anything else).
Google has just announced its plans for Android wearables, and this could make all those other smart watches look like they're standing still. Android Wear is an open Android-powered platform that lets developers plug into existing apps and take advantage of Google services like Now and voice search. There is a preview SDK available right now, and Google says wearables based on this platform are coming in 2014.
Google has updated its support pages and started sending out emails to alert users of Google Wallet to an upcoming change in the way NFC payments work. As of April 14th, tap and pay will require KitKat or higher. Older devices will no longer be supported after that date.
The reason for the change is Google's desire to only use Host Card Emulation (HCE) to make NFC payments work. That feature was introduced in Android 4.4, so it's the end of the line for Jelly Bean and earlier devices.
Update: It's come to our attention that, according to the LinkedIn profiles of two of GreenThrottle's founders, the company was almost definitely bought by Google last November, when GreenThrottle announced its impending shutdown. Both Matt Crowley and Karl Townsend list Google as their sole employer since November of 2013:
This almost definitely means the company was purchased last November, not more recently. Granted, there was still very little news coming out of Green Throttle at that time, so who knows what kind of situation they were facing when Google swooped in, though I can only guess it probably ended up being a good deal for Google more than it did GT.
Owners of the Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile can now get their itchy trigger fingers ready to hit that "check now" button. We've received a few tips today alerting us to the fact that the carrier is rolling out an Android 4.4.2/KitKat OTA to handsets now. According to the software update screen, the feature set doesn't appear to include much of anything that Google didn't add into the stock version of KitKat:
- OS upgrade - [KitKat OS 4.4.2]
- Music Album art will be displayed on the lock screen while playing music.

Beijing's decision to let a Hong Kong-listed unit of Citic Group take over its parent company in a deal valued at about 225 billion yuan (HK$283.6 billion) surprised the financial community on Wednesday evening.Monday, 31 March, 2014, 5:52pm 2 comments
Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping urged the British government three decades ago to persuade the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank not to relocate from Hong Kong in order to maintain investor confidence in the city.

As the world mourned the passing of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, remembered her belief in small government, free enterprise and monetarism, and her contribution to world prosperity, we should look at what today's China can learn from her legacy.29 Apr 2013 - 1:07pm 1 comment
A towering figure on the world stage during some of the most momentous events in modern history, and Britain's longest serving leader of the 20th century, Thatcher died after a stroke at her London home yesterday.9 Apr 2013 - 12:43pm
During their historic 1982 talks in Beijing, thrifty Margaret Thatcher fretted about banquet expenses, while Deng Xiaoping worried over moves that might undermine Hong Kong's prosperity in the run-up to the 1997 handover.23 Mar 2013 - 5:23am

It comes as something of a shock to learn that there are political leaders in our midst whose minds are still mired in the Maoist ideological dogmas of the 1950s, who do not seem to be aware of the great strides made by China in the past few decades.30 Jan 2013 - 4:25am 3 comments
Yang Baibing, one of the military strongmen who supported former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping's bloody crackdown on the 1989 pro-democracy protest in Tiananmen Square, has died at the age of 93.
Xinhua said yesterday that Yang, who was director of the People's Liberation Army's General Political Department in 1989, died after an illness in Beijing on Tuesday afternoon.17 Jan 2013 - 7:54am

Deng's aim to bring Taiwan back into fold

Batmobile Tumbler Replica Sells for $1 Million, Totally Street Legal
Somewhere a huge Batman fan is relishing in his (or her) big splurge…a totally street-legal Batmobile Tumbler replica that recently sold for a whopping $1 million on a luxury goods site. The replica was from Batman Begins (directed by Christopher Nolan and starred Christian Bale, in case you've been living under a rock) and is drivable on the road. The listing appeared on the James Edition site, with the seller stating, "We have built this insane vehicle to be street legal; however, please understand that this is not a daily driver!" Not sure if the fanboy will be using it as his daily driver, but it's definitely worth taking out for a cruise every now and then.
The car is unweaponized but does features an 8-cylinder LS1 engine mated to an automatic transmission, in addition to a custom-built frame, chassis and drive line. It rides on massive 44″ "super swamp tires" with custom wheels and an all-black interior black interior boasting five driver-assist cameras, GPS navigation and a stereo with Bluetooth and iPhone integration. It's definitely not a family car since it only seats two and the only color is comes in is pitch black. There's no specific name to pinpoint the creator of this replica, but the listing did say its location was Indialantic, Florida. But since it's not a Warner Bros. official replica, the buyer might be hit with a lawsuit (good thing they're rich) since Batman is a copyrighted character (the studio won a suit last year after Mark Towle, a California man who operates Gotham Garage and creates replicas of automobiles featured in movies, wasn't authorized to create his own Batmobile).

Sarah Van Patten, our September cover star, is a forceful dramatic talent who happens to be movie star beautiful. Although the San Francisco Ballet principal won't be onstage with the company this month (we have to wait a few more weeks before SFB takes over Lincoln Center), she'll make her way to the silver screen next week at the San Francisco Dance Film Festival. Van Patten is featured in White, one of the festival's opening night selections, which is co-directed and choreographed by SFB's Tiit Helimets. (Helimets penned a blog about the making of White here.)

God how I hate republicans anymore.
I'm speaking of establishment republicans but the very name itself implies they are the great majority.
And nothihg has fundementally changed in that party even after all the hard work Ron Paul (and we) did during his 2 campaigns.
If they do this to Rand I will work to damage the GOP in any way I can.
As far as I'm concerned - even though Rand is only about half as good as his father, he's still the GOP'S only hope of attracting most of us (Libertarians, Independents, Tea Party, Constitutionalists, REAL Conservatives etc).
And without us they will easily LOSE to Hillary.
But of course, even Hillary would be a better choice for president than Rand for these GOP establishment RATS.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

US: Gap earnings down and cautious on FY forecast
By Michelle Russell | 28 February 2014
- Q4 earnings drop 12.5%
- Sales down 3.2%
- FY EPS to be hit by weak currency
Gap said it expects its EPS growth rate to be negatively impacted by weakening foreign currencies
Clothing giant Gap Inc saw earnings drop in its fourth-quarter and said it expects weakening foreign currencies to hit earnings for the full year.
Net income in the three months ended 1 February dropped 12.5% to US$307m from $351m a year earlier.
Sales were down 3.2% to $4.58bn, while comparable sales edged up 1% compared with a 5% increase in the fourth quarter of last year.
Both earnings and revenues were negatively impacted by the loss of a 53rd week in the 2013 figures and heavy discounting over the holiday period.
For the full year, Gap said it expects its EPS growth rate to be negatively impacted by around five percentage points, as a result of weakening foreign currencies. As a result, the company has forecast EPS to be in the range of $2.90 to $2.95
Nonetheless, Gap said it will open 30 additional namesake stores in China during fiscal 2014, in addition to debuting five Old Navy stores in the country.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Howard Tubin noted: "While a necessary evil this past holiday season, price promotions and discounts are not levers GPS management is happy about having to pull.
"CEO Murphy believes that "it all starts with the product" and offering compelling and differentiated assortments is the most effective way to drive the business. This is a sentiment with which we completely agree."

HRC, NEA, and AFT Premiere Groundbreaking Welcoming Schools Film
January 13, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Paul Guequierre, HRC Staff
Last night the HRC Family Project joined the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) for the screening of the new short film, What Do You Know? 6-12 Year Olds Talk about Gays and Lesbians. The film shows kids are not naïve when it comes to gays and lesbians and they're more accepting than you might think. The screening was followed by a panel discussion featuring the film's director Ellen Brodsky, Welcoming Schools Director Kim Westheimer, and members of the Welcoming Schools National Advisory Council.
Created as a professional development tool for educators, What Do You Know, features students from Massachusetts and Alabama discussing what they know about gays and lesbians, what they hear at school, and what they'd like teachers to do. The film is part of the HRC Foundation's Welcoming Schools project, which is a comprehensive guide for elementary schools with tools, lessons, and resources to embrace family diversity, avoid gender stereotyping, and end bullying and name-calling.
Fifty to 100 parents, teachers, school administrators, and community members were in attendance for the screening and insightful discussion. To view the film's trailer and for more information on Welcoming Schools, please visit www.welcomingschools.org.

Tomorrow marks a big day for one truly big-hearted pup: The winner of the 2012 American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards will be crowned at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
The black-tie, star-studded event — everyone from Betty White to Jewel will be in attendance — is designed to honor the many amazing canines who make a difference in the lives of countless people, ranging from therapy pups to search-and-rescue dogs.
This year eight dogs are vying for the top title, and Vetstreet caught up with the handlers and owners of four of the heroic canine contenders.
Although he's now retired, this Labrador Retriever completed more than 210 combat missions in Iraq, and successfully sniffed out 26 explosives and weapons finds, earning him three Army Commendation Medals.
"We were deemed the most productive military dog team in the theater of Iraq in 2007," says Gabe's former military-handler-turned-owner Sergeant First Class Charles Shuck. "When soldiers died in Iraq, Gabe (shown at left) would represent a piece of home as grieving soldiers would hug him and cry on him. He gets the chance to be the voice of all military working dogs."
In the span of just eight months, Marissa Levy had lost her father, her best friend and her dog. But once she adopted a Standard Poodle puppy, whom she named Stella Lenore in honor of her grandmother, Levy's life began to brighten and have a compassion-filled purpose.
"I was at a dog park with Stella, who was about five months old, when a lady told me that my dog was exceptional and then asked if she was in training to be a service or therapy dog," recalls Levy. "When Stella turned one, I enrolled her in the Therapy Dogs International program, and she breezed through. Today, we make therapy visits six days a week, and she seems to bring out the best in people — the staff at one nursing home told me that a man who had never spoken now has conversations with Stella but no one else."

Best Roast Chicken $20 and under
- blackbookali Oct 22, 2013 08:59 PM
So I love roast chicken. It is a recent food love that started in the last few years when I began to roast them at home. Thank the lord for cast iron skillets, thermapens, and the French person who isolated the elements of mire poixe. Now that I have a child, I find myself with less and less time to cook and a grand substitution is in order. While I fully understand that a splurge worthy restaurant like Melisse may make a bird that would make someone like me swoon to no end, I'm kinda broke for that place.
I know and worship Pollos a la Brasa on Western. Though they may suffer from inconsistency and dare I say an overall quality decline since they started taking credit cards, I still like the Zankou and their paste that could make poi palatable. Im looking for a few more options, up to $20 out the door for a quality roasted bird. Downtown adjacent becomes even more appealing as I find this meal to comforting and if I aint making it, it's gonna be a carryout situation, with netflix fully cued up.
bba - if a Gelson's is close by, their Free Range Roasted Chicken for I believe $9.99 is quite the deal. Very flavorful.
You would have the Silver Lake store on Hyperion or the Hollywood one on Franklin to chose from when thinking downtown LA proximity.

While The Weekly had reported back in January of this year that TiGeorge's "was" going to close at the end of that month Yelp has reports as late as 2 weeks ago of people eating here/taking out.
See here:http://www.yelp.com/biz/tigeorges-chi...
Can someone confirm whether or not they are still open? I'll try the phone later if no one chimes in definitively, one way or the other.
re: Servorg
TiGeorge's is OPEN for business. I just spoke with the owner. He said he plans to be there until at least 6 tonight, and later if customers are still coming in the door. So the reports of TiGeorge's closing are COMPLETELY wrong.
re: Servorg
Good reporting.
Perhaps a new thread worthwhile to announce that?
It's nice to hear. I always thought it was among the best chicken with the avocado wood they use.
re: Servorg
such a weird concidence. I took a different route home last night trying to avoid traffic on the 110 and noticed a sign that said "Wood Fired Chicken" on the sidewalk. So I looked and it was TiGorge's. Never had heard of this place before, so I quickly googled it on my phone and the pics looked amazing. I've never had haitian food.
I was going to ask CH if anyone has ever been here since I don't ever recall this place being talked about. So I'm assuming it's really good?
re: TailbackU
With that kind of 'coincidence' I'd say it's a message for you to check it out :).
It's got to be *that* good.
re: latindancer
for sure
*Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken
19092 Beach Blvd
Ste S
Huntington Beach, CA 92646
*Chicken Maison
3332 S Bristol St
Santa Ana, CA 92704
Better than Zankou West LA.
*And of course at home if you take the time to brine overnight (salt, pepper, lemon, thyme, rosemary, +/- marjoram, garlic, and bit of brown sugar) a Bristol Farms free range chicken. Pat dry, rub a little olive oil on the skin, and roast 400 degrees for 60-90 minutes until the thigh juices run clear. Crispy skin, moist breast meat, and thoroughly cooked dark meat. I also add shiitake and white mushrooms the last 30 minutes which creates a delicious jus. Perfect with a glass of burgundy.
re: Porthos
You beat me to it.
Big +1 on Chicken Maison. The spicy lemon garlic is my favorite.
re: Porthos
Retracting my previous rec for PRC. Re-tried it this weekend and it had a very acrid smokey taste. Like someone went a bit heavy on the liquid smoke. Tossed out half.
I'll add the half roast chicken at Bella Cuba in exchange. Better than Versailles in my experience.
re: Porthos
+1 on Bella Cuba. I'm going for lunch tomorrow, and I have a really hard time not ordering that dish.
Any other suggestions, Porthos? Your recommendation for the Arroz con Pollo was right on.
re: OCSteve
I cycle between the arroz con pollo, roasted half chicken, ropa vieja, and rabo in about a 5:1:1:1 ratio. The rabo encendido (oxtail) is excellent but messy.
If I have a group with me, I add the yucca rellena or platanos rellenos to share. The platanos rellenos come 4 to an order: 2 beef filling and 2 pork. I prefer the beef so I request all beef.
re: Porthos
Thanks! I've had the oxtail. It's very good. I also really like the vaca frita. I may have to try the ropa vieja.
re: Porthos
Just to follow up, I tried the ropa vieja last week. Very good. Thanks for the rec.
Don't kill me, but I have to plump for the Costco rotisserie chicken. At $5, it's one of the best deals in town. Consistently plump, juicy, and flavorful. Subtle and special? Nope. But a pretty tasty chicken. I find it pretty satisfying to eat when fresh with just a good hot sauce at hand, and after refrigerated, an excellent base for a chicken salad. For someone with a kid, it's a good thing to have in the fridge.
re: heinous
re: ns1
sigh. our affair will never work, ns1. for me, zankou chicken has gone way downhill over the years, and is usually pretty dried out and nothing special.
maybe you're hanging at a better zankou.
and the pita bread they give is better suited for packing material.
costco chicken is o.k., although it is incredibly wet.
i like the chickens better at sevan in glendale, or from that peruvian place kitty korner from don adrian's
re: ns1
I used to love that shit when it was crisp.
Just give me a plate of the crispy skin.
re: Savour
I'll pay the $5 upcharge to not deal with Super King's parking lot.
Actually, after pita/garlic sauce costs it may only be a $1-2 savings.
re: Servorg
Yeah buddy.
Now we can munch on some fucking piggy pig wings, buffalo style.
re: ns1
If you are just going for one or two things? LIke the chicken and pita?
Park ACROSS the street and walk over at the crosswalk, easy peasy.
Or have your loved one drop you off, they go and wander the out of the closet superstore down the street, then meet you at a nearby cross street. No big paring involved.
And I find it awfully nice that I can get chicken - and pita and garlic sauce - and wine, all at the same place. Cuz if I am not cooking, it usually means it's a day where wine is truly needed. Truly.
re: Savour
Ah! Lucky man : )
re: Savour
Never heard of Super King Market. Looks like they have a half-dozen locations. Do all have the great chicken? Which has the horrible parking? I'm thinking of Van Nuys or San Fernando Blvd.
re: nosh
Nosh -
I know the San Fernando (Los Angeles) parking lot can be a bear and I've had folks complain about the Northridge and Altadena one as well. But if you can go at off times or, park just off the lot, or tag team with a friend - it's easier and worth it.
I think all the SK's have the roasted chicken. They give you one tub of the garlic sauce (it's good!) and will give you one extra if you ask. Any more than that and you have to pay, I think it's 50¢ a tub? And at the Los Angeles one, it just so happens that the hot foods are right by the wine and pita. Pretty handy ; )
re: nosh
They all have horrible parking. The newest unit, the Van Nuys location at Van Nuys Blvd. and Sherman Way, is a converted Albertson's which was situated behind the former Krispy Kreme.
That shopping center never had such parking problems after Krispy Kreme closed, until now.
Never tried the chicken, though, as not overly convenient.
re: linus
If only there was some sort of matrimony between costco and Zankou. I agree that the Zankou has slowly degraded over the years (Pasadena location). Just about 5 years ago I used to get a decently sized chicken with a bag of pita bread (~6-8) and lots of garlic spread. The skin was crisp as if deep fried, and the meat was not as dry it is now. Now the whole chicken is more like a whole hen...probably 50-60% the size of Costco's. The whole chicken dinner consists of a smallish bird that is quit dry around the white meat and the wing is crisped to the point where it's almost inedible jerky, and you get just 3 pita breads. Depending on who's working the register they can be more liberal with the garlic spread.
Costco sells quite possibly the largest bird and most certainly the most bang for the buck...I think I read somewhere they sell their chicken at a loss. While the brine makes the meat almost too moist, it does have an effect in terms of a skin that isn't as crisp and depending on how you reheat it can be quite moist.
We pick up rotisserie chicken at whole foods about twice a month. Toss some veggies on a roasting pan and voila, easy dinner on lazy days. Not saying it's the cheapest choice, though.
The guy who does roasted chicken at the Hollywood, West Hollywood & Larchmont farmers markets. He probably does others, too.
re: katydid13
Grill Masters. Very, very good roast chicken - especially if you catch it around the busy middle of the market time.
If you can scrape together another $2 you can get the roasted brick chicken at Sotto. Fantastic! Agree with you oon Pollo a la Brasa.
re: Thor123
+1 on Pollo a la Brasa. Golden, crispy skin and succulent meat. The aji sauce is downright addictive.
I love the beer can chicken at A-Frame thought the whole chicken will run you $22 (just a little over your budget) or $12 for a half chicken.
re: wienermobile
OMG, yessss. That's such good chicken.
re: Thor123
In my opinion ever since El Pollo Loco started using partially pre-cooked chicken to cook the chicken faster it has gone way downhill. Years ago it was always juicy and fresh…not anymore.
re: wienermobile
they used partially precooked chicken now? so sad :(
who does the precooking???
re: wienermobile
Where did you hear that? I have only seen them throw whole raw chicken on the flame.
re: Thor123
This was done at a change of ownership of the chain. I have not been back since. If they were smart maybe they changed back?
re: wienermobile
Might be related
Have you had the chicken at Dino's on Pico? Half chickens are flame broiled and basted with a tangy vinegar based sauce. Delicious and served over a pile of fries, that soak up the juices and sauce, for under $7!
2575 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90006
In the Echo Park/Silver Lake area I also like the roast Jidori chicken at The Park and the roasted half chicken at Black Hogg, both on Sunset. Both entree portions are half chicken w/fries for under $20.
Dino's is great for takeout. I'd have them package the fries separately and give you an extra container of the sauce for your to go order. The other two places do takeout but are more about dining in.
re: JeMange
You get Dino's to package the sauce separately? I eat there, and they stopped giving me a separate container of their "sauce" decades ago. I love Dino's. I don't mind that my extra sauce sogs my fries. They recognize me there. Maybe I'll try asking again.
re: jessejames
I thought of that too! Very good.
I really like Cha Cha Chicken in Santa Monica. Also, I think Baby Blues BBQ in Venice makes a really juicy chicken. I have only had it twice, I can't speak for the WeHo location, and I know BBB is a source of contention on this board ... But I was surprised how well cooked it was and they deliver.
re: Adamlick
+1 on cha cha chicken
Haven't been back to P a l B on Western since the remodel; I'm afraid it may have done them no good food-wise, as the Zankou expansion and Pollo Loco acquisition did THEM no good. ( I remember the first U.S. Pollo Loco on Alvarado, when the menu was "(a) half chicken (b) whole chicken with (1) corn or (2) flour tortillas, drinks in the cooler...", but I date myself).
Versailles is VERY consistent, year after year, at least at the original Venice/Motor location; can't or won't vouch for the other ones.
Pollo Unico (Santa Monica/Virgil) turns out a decent, very mesquite-y grilled bird, for cheap, although they partially pre-cook, which can lead to serious dryness issues if you hit the wrong part of the cycle.
Grocery store chix, be they Gelson's Ralph's,Costco, etc. all seem to have consistency issues, and many tend to be seriously salty.
re: silverlakebodhisattva
" Pollo Loco acquisition "
what are you referring to?
re: ns1
When Pollo Loco opened their first US store at 6th and Alvarado, they were a free-standing company. Their menu, was, as noted, minimalist.
" In 1983, the American restaurants in the chain were acquired by Denny's.... .... American Securities Capital Partners acquired El Pollo Loco in 1999 and sold it to current owner Trimaran Capital Partners in 2005."
(from Wikipedia)
It's been all downhill since '83.
re: silverlakebodhisattva
Took out from Pollo a la Brasa last night. The new store next door is not yet done. Chicken was good as ever.
re: Thor123
re: CharlesKochel
Skip. Unless you just wanted healthy. It ain't really fodder for true hounds.
Try 99 Ranch or any other of the large Asian markets.
$7.00 gets you either a whole "Salty Chicken" or "Soy Sauce Chicken". Always fresh (never frozen) and delicious. Pair it
with a quart of Rice or Chow Mein Noodles, and you'll have
a great meal for 2 for about 10 bucks.
re: ChefRoux
The soy Sauce chicken is ready to eat ? So that one does not not have to take it home and cook it ?
re: jessejames
Yeah, I tried it a couple years back.
It was good but not as good as I had imagined.
My imagination got the best of me on that one.
re: kevin
if you want even more duck fat and cracklins in ktown then try
you can cook it down in the duck fat to your own crispy preference and the have fried rice cooked in the fat...a light meal
re: jessejames
Oh, man. You don't have to mention OB bear twice (btw, check out their business cards, coolest fucking thing I may have ever seen --- a teddy bear holding a huge mug of beer with a thick layer of head).
Those spicy wings are crack on a fucking plate and washed down with copious mugs of Hite beer a little too often.
re: jessejames
I've been dying to get over there......
re: Dirtywextraolives
Road trip!
re: happybaker
Yep...... Someday I'll get my DH to take me there....
re: Thor123
I have. Pollo a la Brasas is better.
Beverly Chicken is doing a wood smoked chicken similiar to PALB, but you can either get mexican-ish sides (rice, beans, tortillas) or middle eastern sides (hummus, pita, salad). The chicken was decent, the hummus was pretty good, the salad was soggy and wilted by the time it steamed in the take-out container with the chicken. The interior of the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired, better to get the food to go (they also deliver).
re: wienermobile
Does California Chicken Cafe even roast or rotisserie chicken? In my experience, CCC is nondescript chicken prepared to supplement salads or other dishes with the sides or salads being the focus. Crisp skin? I haven't found it at CCC. Significantly more expensive than Zankou. Appears to me to cater to the style-conscious more than the chicken. Will admit that their salads and sides beat Zankou and another favorite, Feast From the East.
I've always been partial to Marouche on Santa Monica Blvd near Normandy. My favorite baba ganoush, too.
Oinkster has a really great chicken, and on Monday nights I think its $21.50 for a whole chicken, 2 sides and 2 desserts.

We said our goodbyes to our family and had a photograph together before we started our descent to Dublin International Airport. As we coped with the 2 hour bus journey, time soon flew in and we arrived in Terminal 2 of the airport. We checked in our baggage and then we had some free time to ourselves.

I scooped up the 16" Toshiba at Staples for $575 with no ded graphics. So this computer with it at just a tad more I should've waited. Oh well, Quad i7 and expandable ram to 16gb with 8 installed, I'm still happy with my "low res" screen.
It is NOT $100 more. There is a $100 off coupon on this laptop if used in store. http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/coupons/
How is this laptop strength wise? Dell XPS 14 is like a tank, slightly heavy but feels strong. The reason I ask, 10 year old was given 17' Acer and he has already broken two of keyboard keys (B & V), and the corner is chipped off. Every chance he gets he bangs against the wall though inside bag :-)

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) awarded SRA International, a provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to federal agencies, a contract calling for the company to develop a new online, real-time, transaction-based system for processing premium payments for the more than 30,000 private-sector pension plans it insures.
PBGC is a federal entity responsible for protecting the pensions of more than 44 million American workers and retirees.
The contract, awarded Sept. 29, has an estimated value of $12.3 million over six years if all options are exercised, SRA said in an announcement today.
As part of an overall modernization effort, PBGC is automating its existing systems to eliminate or minimize the manual processes it uses to capture, maintain and correct data.
Under this contract, SRA will design, develop and implement a Premium and Practitioner System to support premium filing processes. The system will include Oracle e-Business Suite Financial and Customer Relationship Management modules customized to PBGC's specific business requirements for premium filing and systems integration, SRA said.
SRA team members include Capgemini and TeraThink.
The integrator's services will also include program management; systems design, development and integration; testing; integration of commercial products; and training.
"The SRA team has a long history of developing and supporting key e-government systems for PBGC, including the My Plan Administration Account premium filing system," said Tim Atkin, vice president and director of the civil sector at SRA. "We will use this experience and knowledge of PBGC's processes and systems to develop a secure, online premium payment system that will achieve business and technical efficiencies."

In 1928 Los Angeles, single mother Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) arrives home to find her son, Walter, gone. Five months later her prayers are answered when Walter is found in Illinois. But to Christine's horror, the boy who steps off the train is not her son. Authorities vehemently dispute Christine's claim, and her one ally is a clergyman (John Malkovich) who sees the case as his chance to expose corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department and government.

Though it's not "Mystic River" or a giant vehicle for Angelina Jolie it is a very good film and satisfying as suspense crime drama. It's also works as a good period piece capturing some of the elements of depression era Los Angeles.
