I've finally realized the limitations of my R4512. I want to sell it while the used market is still good. I can easily sell it in my area with the ZCI's and sleds I have for about 450. Unfortunately after being ripped off to the tune of about $40,000 in the past 18 months by my mother-in-law, our savings took a massive hit. There is still a little room in the budget for a saw upgrade, but I have a HARD limit of ~ 1400.00 out the door (including shipping and a mobile base) I have to buy a house in the next 3 months. It will have a garage, not sure if I will have 220v. I don't have it now and will not be adding it, however I realize it would be stupid to overlook some 3hp saws. My requirements are pretty simple 1.75 hp is fine. I've never wished my R4512 had more HP, and I commonly work with 8/4 stock. I understand I am working it pretty hard though, so longevity can be an issue Saws I am looking at JET JPS 10TS (I can get this brand new for 1,100 out the door) Grizzly G0715P Grizzly G1023RL (This could be sitting in a box for a few months if the house we buy as a detached garage and no 220v available) What am I missing? -- www.etsy.com/shop/KandJWoodCrafts |

Your limitations sort of eliminate many possible contenders. From your list I would choose the G1023RL. I don't recall if this is a right tilt or left. I would definitely go with the left tilt. (I have a right tilt and although I can make it do everything I want it still is a pain sometimes.). You will want 220V in your shop. If you don't need to upgrade immidently I would hold out till you got the new shop. No need to have a saw in the crate for a period of time since the warranty will start when you buy it not when you start using it. -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |

I have a G0715P and I love it. However, I'm not sure if it would overcome many of the limitations your R4512 has. It does have a better fence and cabinet, but aren't the guts of the saw supposedly very similar? Also, the G0715P does have table mounted trunnions, and you said that is a deal-breaker. If it was me, I would go G0715P (obviously), but with your list of requirements I would go G1023RL. -- Rex |
#3 posted 03-14-2013 02:18 PM |
My new shop will have 220. The only mitigating factor will be hooking it up. If it involves excavating a driveway or really long cable pulls, that will have to wait a few months for our savings to recover. The fence is a very large consideration. Does the G0715P have table or cabinet mounted trunions? -- www.etsy.com/shop/KandJWoodCrafts |

The 1023 would be a good choice and $1100 is a good price on a new Jet. You could also take a look at a couple from Steel City if you have a dealer in the area. 35950 is a 1.75HP hybrid—$999 with built in mobile base 35965 is their 3HP cabinet saw—$1299 + moble base. Single piece rails, good fence and available with either cast iron or granite tops.

If you're going to make a change, make it more than incremental steps. The Jet is a nice hybrid style contractor saw, but I'm not seeing $700 worth of benefit over what you've got now. You'll essentially be gaining solid cast iron wings and a better fence….for ~ $170 you can add a Delta T2 that's pretty similar to the Jet. Motor power, duty rating, trunnion adjustments, and even mass are pretty similar. For an additional $300, the jump to a G1023RL takes you to another class of saw that goes way beyond motor power.

"Yikes. 1023RL is looking like the winner" I'm sure you've seen these: Any of the industrial cabinet saws (new or used) are much more substantial saws than a contractor saw or hybrid. -- Happiness is like wetting your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.... |

If you buy new, you might want to wait so it can be delivered to it's new home. My 1023RLW had a shipping weight of 552#. Thankfully, the driver put it in my garage (with our help pushing the box on the pallet jack). By the way I am loving mine. Good luck. Note: My garage has 220V for an electric dryer which we haven't used in 26 years. I now have it connected to the table saw. Mike -- Handcrafted by Mike Henderson - Channelview, Texas |

The houses in mind all have detached garages. I know for a fact one does not have 220, I haven't seen the others. If I set up a basement shop, 220 is all set (or super easy since the panel is right there), but the last thing I want to do is lug 500+ lb machinery and sheet goods into a basement when I have a garage. If I do go with a 220v saw it will be after I move. It seems like anything 120v is only a tiny incremental step above what I have now. -- www.etsy.com/shop/KandJWoodCrafts |

Mike – I saw you have the mobile base on yours. what is the height from the floor to the table? another big problem I have with the R4512 is it is just too tall for me. I am reaching way to far at the end of the cut. It is about 35 to 36" tall. -- www.etsy.com/shop/KandJWoodCrafts |
#13 posted 03-14-2013 11:53 PM |
Joe, I agree with Scott and others that if you're going to upgrade the saw, try and get yourself a 3 hp cabinet saw. The 1023 is a nice saw, as is the 690. The 1023 has the built in router table, the 690 has a Leeson motor. Both pretty nice tools any way you slice it. Edit: The 690 comes in at 35 1/4" tall on the mobile base. 34" without. -- John, BC, Canada |

I'd just build a platform in front of the saw if they're too high. -- Happiness is like wetting your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.... |

@Joe – I just measured my saw table height – 34 1/2 inches with it sitting on the mobile base. The base makes it easy to move that heavy sucker around. -- Handcrafted by Mike Henderson - Channelview, Texas |

We saw the front rows in New York, we saw them in London and we saw them in Milan–but no fashion week seemed to attract more famous people than Paris. As Fashion Month draws to a close, the celebrities descended on the City of Light to take in Chanel, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and at least one very splashy party for the new Carine Roitfeld movie.
Here's what they wore, featuring Katy Perry, Hailee Steinfeld, Kim Kardashian, Kim Kardashian's Breasts, Kate Upton, Miranda Kerr and many more. More
As Fashion Month draws to a close, we must pick up the pieces and filter out the relevant information. So far, we know the Spring 2014 collections were all very Spring-y, the front rows were all very famous, and the models were all very white.
But! There were still surprises to be found in New York, London, Paris and Milan, as the accessories stole the show time and time again. Here's 35 of the craziest, boldest, statement-making hats* and headgear from Fashion Month, from flower garlands to gothic cowboy hats to whatever that is up there. More
Fashion Month is drawing to a close, which means we've seen plenty of trends, much ridiculous street style, lots of famous people–you know, the usual Fashion Month works.

Jessica Alba is an overall unobtrusive star, both on and off the red carpet, but this was not the case for the past week.

Starring: Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, BJ Penn » See full cast & crew UFC Presents: Ultimate 100 Knockouts Blu-ray, Video QualityUFC Presents: Ultimate 100 Knockouts' 1080i, 1.78:1-framed transfer suffices, but it won't dazzle any viewer. The image is generally stable and pleasing. The newer HD video fight segments and the newly minted interview clips look suitably sharp, showing well-defined details on faces, fighter trunks, and Octagon advertisements. Colors, here, are quite good too, particularly the bolder and brighter shades on, again, fighter attire and brand advertisements. There is a bit of noise which spikes on occasion, and background banding in some of the interviews is painfully evident. The video cobbles together some older footage from the 1990s and early 2000s that's much rougher around the edges, some sourced from SD material that appears to have been stretched out or zoomed in to fit the 1.78:1 frame. UFC Presents: Ultimate 100 Knockouts doesn't look as good as the typical WWE title, but it works well enough for what it is and the material's meager requirements. UFC Presents: Ultimate 100 Knockouts Blu-ray, Audio QualityUFC Presents: Ultimate 100 Knockouts fatures a sparse and only baseline effective Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack. The track's requirements are few. The main ingredient is dialogue. Jon Anik insight, in-fight commentary and play-by-play, and interview clips play with acceptable clarity and front-middle stage placement. Music is suitably well defined and spaced. Crowd cheers don't fare well, whether in older or newer matches; they come across as a wall of garbled sound, identifiable as cheering but lacking anything close to an immersive, realistic feel. This track, like the video, meets the program's basic requirements, no more and no less.

Hyrule Warriors concept art of a lady relative to Link that looks just like himSome people got real squirrelly when they thought Link might have been a woman in the new Legend of Zelda. None of you, I'm sure. Our community has a noted love for the idea of Link as a woman. Anyway, here's some pictures from the Hyrule Warriors artbook (via GoNintendo) that show Link as a lady. Or, basically, as Dragon's Crown's best character, the Elf. [Update] As some commenters pointed out graciously, without a hint of derision or deep seated irritation, the kanji actually point to this "woman" as being possibly a "sister" or "daughter" to Link, called Linkle, rather than actually Link himself/herself.

Dover Castle is a medieval castle in the town of the same name in the English county of Kent. It was founded in the 12th century and has been described as the "Key to England" due to its defensive significance throughout history.[1][2] It is the largest castle in England.[3]
The site may have been fortified with earthworks in the Iron Age or earlier, before the Romans invaded in AD43. This is suggested on the basis of the unusual pattern of the earthworks which does not seem to be a perfect fit for the medieval castle. Excavations have provided evidence of Iron Age occupation within the locality of the castle, but it is not certain whether this is associated with the hillfort.[4] There have also been excavations on the mound which the church and Roman Pharos are situated on, which has been discovered to be a Bronze Age mound.
The site also contained one of Dover's two 80-foot (24 m) Roman lighthouses (or Pharoses), one of which still survives, whilst the remains of the other are located on the opposing Western Heights, across the town of Dover. On the site is a classic montrol (campsite) where the Normans landed after their victorious conquest.
After the Battle of Hastings in October 1066, William the Conqueror and his forces marched to Westminster Abbey for his coronation. They took a roundabout route via Romney, Dover, Canterbury, Surrey and Berkshire. From the Cinque Ports foundation in 1050, Dover has always been a chief member—it may also have been this that first attracted William's attention, and got Kent the motto of Invicta. In the words of William of Poitiers:
Then he marched to Dover, which had been reported impregnable and held by a large force. The English, stricken with fear at his approach had confidence neither in their ramparts nor in the numbers of their troops ... While the inhabitants were preparing to surrender unconditionally, [the Normans], greedy for money, set the castle on fire and the great part of it was soon enveloped in flames...[William then paid for the repair and] having taken possession of the castle, the Duke spent eight days adding new fortifications to it'. The Castle was first built, entirely out of clay. It collapsed to the ground and the clay was then used as the flooring for many of the ground-floor rooms. |
This may have been repairs and improvements to an existing Saxon fort or burgh, centred on the Saxon church of St Mary de Castro, although archaeological evidence suggests that it was actually a new motte and bailey design castle built from scratch nearby.
In 1088, eight knights were appointed under tenures to guard Dover Castle, there names were: William d'Albrincis; Fulberl de Dover, William d'Arsic; Geoffrey Peverell; William Maminot; Robert du Port; Hugh Crevecoeur; and Adam Fitzwilliam.
It was during the reign of Henry II that the castle began to take recognisable shape. The inner and outer baileys and the great keep belong to this time. Maurice the Engineer was responsible for building the keep,[5] one of the last rectangular keeps ever built.
In 1216, a group of rebel barons invited Louis VIII of France to come and take the English crown. He had some success breaching the walls but was unable ultimately to take the castle (see The First Barons' War).
The vulnerable north gate that had been breached in the siege was converted into an underground forward-defence complex (including St John's Tower), and new gates built into the outer curtain wall on the western (Fitzwilliam's Gate) and eastern (Constable's Gate) sides. During the siege, the English defenders tunnelled outwards and attacked the French, thus creating the only counter tunnel in the world. This can still be seen in the medieval works.
By the Tudor age, the defences themselves had been superseded by gunpowder. They were improved by Henry VIII, who made a personal visit, and added to it with the Moat Bulwark.
During the English Civil War it was held for the king but then taken by a Parliamentarian trick without a shot being fired (hence it avoided being ravaged and survives far better than most castles) in 1642.
Massive rebuilding took place at the end of the 18th century during the Napoleonic Wars. William Twiss, the Commanding Engineer of the Southern District, as part of his brief to improve the town's defences, completed the remodelling of the outer defences of Dover Castle adding the huge Horseshoe, Hudson's, East Arrow and East Demi-Bastions to provide extra gun positions on the eastern side, and constructing the Constable's Bastion for additional protection on the west. Twiss further strengthened the Spur at the northern end of the castle, adding a redan, or raised gun platform. By taking the roof off the keep and replacing it with massive brick vaults he was able to mount heavy artillery on the top. Twiss also constructed Canon's Gateway to link the defences of the castle with those of the town.
With Dover becoming a garrison town, there was a need for barracks and storerooms for the additional troops and their equipment. The solution adopted by Twiss and the Royal Engineers was to create a complex of barracks tunnels about 15 metres below the cliff top and the first troops were accommodated in 1803. At the height of the Napoleonic Wars, the tunnels housed more than 2,000 men and to date are the only underground barracks ever built in Britain.
At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the tunnels were partly converted and used by the Coast Blockade Service to combat smuggling. This was a short-term endeavour though, and in 1827 the headquarters were moved closer to shore. The tunnels then remained abandoned for more than a century.
The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 saw the tunnels converted first into an air-raid shelter and then later into a military command centre and underground hospital. In May 1940, Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsey directed the evacuation of French and British soldiers from Dunkirk, code-named Operation Dynamo, from his headquarters in the cliff tunnels.
A military telephone exchange was installed in 1941 and served the underground headquarters. The switchboards were constantly in use and had to have a new tunnel created alongside it to house the batteries and chargers necessary to keep them functioning. The navy used the exchange to enable direct communication with vessels, as well as using it to direct air-sea rescue craft to pick up pilots shot down in the Straits of Dover.
The Annexe level of the tunnel, excavated in 1941, was used as a dressing station; it contained two operating theatres and had basic accommodation for patients.
Later the tunnels were to be used as a shelter for the Regional Seats of Government in the event of a nuclear attack. This plan was abandoned for various reasons, including the realisation that the chalk of the cliffs would not provide significant protection from radiation, and because of the inconvenient form of the tunnels and their generally poor condition.
Tunnel levels are denoted as A - Annexe, B - Bastion, C - Casemate, D - DUMPY and E - Esplanade. Annexe and Casemate levels are open to the public, Bastion is 'lost' but investigations continue to gain access, DUMPY (converted from Second World War use to serve as a Regional Seat of Government in event of an atomic war) is closed, as is Esplanade (last used as an air raid shelter in the Second World War).[6]
The Annexe level was excavated in 1941 to serve as a medical dressing station for wounded soldiers. Soldiers would be sent for emergency treatment in the tunnels and then transferred to inland hospitals. Within the Annexe level were dormitories, kitchens and mess rooms.
A statue of Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay was erected in November 2000 outside the tunnels in honour of his work on the Dunkirk evacuation and protecting Dover during the Second World War.[7]
If they were being attacked they would have to move quickly as the enemies were just nine minutes away from Dover by plane. There are over three miles of these Tunnels going deep down into the chalky cliffs, some still undiscovered. There are tunnels that are far too dangerous to walk down. Full information about these tunnels is not due to be released until 2020-2025.
Dover Castle is a Scheduled Monument,[8] which means it is a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site that has been given protection against unauthorised change.[9] It is also a Grade I listed building,[10] and recognised as an internationally important structure.[11] The castle, secret tunnels, and surrounding land are now owned by English Heritage and the site is a major tourist attraction. The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports is officially head of the castle, in his conjoint position of Constable of Dover Castle, and the Deputy Constable has his residence in Constable's Gate.
The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment Museum is located in the castle.
Between 2007 and 2009, English Heritage spent £2.45 million on recreating the castle's interior.[12] According to figures released by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, nearly 350,000 people visited Dover Castle in 2010.[13]

Perhaps because it's the second most-widely-used web browser in the world, not to mention being Open Source — and because expectations for the "market-leading" browser aren't particularly high — Firefox takes a good bit of flak whenever a new security hole or resource sink is discovered. The Mozilla devs — or, at least some of them — intended this week to be about memory management, and Mozilla's Co-Director of Developer Tools, Ben Galbraith, got the ball rolling on Monday with a blog post laying out plans for a new tool intended to make the process known as "garbage collection" — freeing up resources by clearing out objects no longer required in memory — a more transparent and manageable process.
According to Galbraith, the tool being proposed would make it possible to view current unrecoverable JavaScript objects, known as "the heap," along with the ability to determine why they are "noncollectable," as well as providing the opportunity to understand when collection starts and finishes, and by extension, how long it is taking. His blog post ended by encouraging members of the Mozilla community to step up and offer feedback on the proposal, something they likely were doing through Wednesday, when everyone's attention was redirected by a critical security glitch that apparently threatens every Firefox 3 user, regardless of platform.
Security researchers published code on Wednesday that reportedly would allow an attacker to load
unauthorized software on a target's computer simply by having the target view a specially-coded XML file. According to reports, Mozilla developers were blindsided by the bug and immediately raced to find a patch, a task they'd completed by this morning, adding it to next-week's Firefox 3.0.8 release. Because of the exploit, that release is now considered a "high-priority fire-drill security update" for all users.

It is about time. After
It is about time. After Firefox 3.0.6 came out I nearly stopped using it. I started looking into other browsers like Opera, Konqueror, Galeon, ect...
But after the release of 3.0.7 it wasn't as bad. The memory leaks in Firefox are horrendous.
bout time firefox loses the
bout time firefox loses the bloat it eats like 20% of my ram or more when its running. seems the longer its left on the worse it gets.
@ the previous guy, actually you didn't read it properly. firefox won the poll, but the actual usage of firefox is much less than IE and it has been mentioned in the article.
2nd? Do you guys read each other?
The article you linked to placed Firefox first, not second. Did you read it?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is an American late-night talk show hosted by Jay Leno that initially aired from May 25, 1992 to May 29, 2009, and resumed production on March 1, 2010 until its ending on February 6, 2014. The fourth incarnation of the Tonight Show franchise made its debut on May 25, 1992, three days following Johnny Carson's retirement as host of the program. The program originates from NBC Studios in Burbank, California, and was broadcast Monday through Friday at 11:35 PM in the Eastern and Pacific time zones (10:35 PM Central/Mountain time). Unlike Carson or his predecessor Jack Paar, Leno only once utilized a guest host, preferring to host the series by himself.
On April 26, 1999, the show began broadcasting in 1080i HDTV, becoming the first American nightly talk show to be shot in high definition. The show was shot in 16:9 aspect ratio.
The series, which followed the same basic format as that of his predecessors (an opening monologue followed by comedy routines, interviews and performances), ran until May 29, 2009, after which Leno was succeeded by Conan O'Brien.[3] NBC signed Leno to a new deal for a nightly talk show in the 10:00 pm ET timeslot. The primetime series, titled The Jay Leno Show, debuted on September 14, 2009,[4] following a similar format to the Leno incarnation of Tonight.[5][6][7]
Neither O'Brien's version of the program, which premiered June 1, 2009, nor The Jay Leno Show generated the ratings that NBC had expected. The network decided to move a condensed 30-minute version of Leno's show to O'Brien's time slot, and O'Brien's Tonight Show a half-hour later. This decision met with opposition from O'Brien, whose stint on The Tonight Show ended January 22, 2010, after which he began his own talk show on TBS. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno then began its second incarnation, the sixth of the franchise, on March 1, 2010. Leno left The Tonight Show for good on February 6, 2014 and on February 17, was succeeded by Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, at which the series returned to New York for the first time since 1972.
Johnny Carson retired from The Tonight Show on May 22, 1992, and was replaced by Jay Leno. David Letterman not only wanted to move into that earlier time slot from his late night spot after The Tonight Show, but was also considered by many as the natural successor (despite Leno having been Carson's permanent guest host for several years). Carson himself had always favored Letterman; notably Carson, who had previously been interviewed by Letterman, made two appearances on Letterman's rival CBS show, made no mention of Leno during his final shows and regularly sent Letterman monologue jokes in his final years.[8] Having had his heart set on the earlier time slot, Letterman left NBC and joined CBS. Late Show with David Letterman, airing in the same slot, has been competing head to head against The Tonight Show ever since. Conan O'Brien slid into the late night time slot vacated by Letterman.
On September 27, 2004, the 50th anniversary of The Tonight Show's debut, NBC announced that Jay Leno would be succeeded by Conan O'Brien, in 2009. Leno explained that he did not want to see a repeat of the hard feelings and controversy that occurred when he was given the show over David Letterman following Carson's retirement.[9][10]
It was announced on July 21, 2008 that Jay Leno would host his final episode of The Tonight Show on Friday, May 29, 2009 with Conan O'Brien and James Taylor as his guests.[11] O'Brien took over hosting duties commencing the following Monday, on June 1, 2009.
On December 9, 2008, it was announced that Jay Leno would be hosting a new nightly show in September, 2009, which aired at 10 pm EST, during the network's prime time period. The Jay Leno Show ended after a short run on February 9, 2010.[5]
On January 7, 2010, multiple media outlets reported that effective March 1, 2010, The Jay Leno Show would be moved from the 10 pm (Eastern/Pacific Time) weeknight time slot to 11:35 pm and O'Brien's The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien would be moved from 11:35 pm to 12:05 am.[12][13][14] On January 12, 2010, O'Brien publicly announced in an open letter that he intended to leave NBC if they moved The Tonight Show to 12:05 am ET/PT in order to accommodate moving The Jay Leno Show to 11:35 pm Eastern/10:35 pm Central, due to poor ratings.[15] After several days of negotiations, O'Brien reached a settlement with NBC that allowed him to leave NBC and The Tonight Show on January 22, 2010.[16]
On January 21, 2010, NBC announced that Jay Leno would return to The Tonight Show. Jay Leno began his second tenure on March 1, 2010, after the 2010 Winter Olympics.[17] The show moved to Stage 11 in Burbank,[18] the former home of The Jay Leno Show, with a similar set and theme song of The Jay Leno Show. Tonight Show bandleader Kevin Eubanks announced on April 12 he would be leaving The Tonight Show on May 28 after 18 years with Jay Leno.[19] Eubanks' replacement is former American Idol musical director Rickey Minor.[20] Minor composed a new main theme when he took over.
On July 1, 2010, Variety reported that only six months into its second life, Jay Leno's Tonight Show posted its lowest ratings since 1992.[21] By September 2010, Leno's ratings had fallen below those of Conan O'Brien when he had hosted The Tonight Show.[22] NBC ratings specialist Tom Bierbaum commented that due to the host being out of late night television for a period of time and the subsequent 2010 Tonight Show conflict, Leno's ratings fall was "not a surprise at all".[23] In October 2010, David Letterman beat Leno's program in the ratings, for the first time since Leno returned to hosting The Tonight Show.[24][25] By May 2011, Leno's Tonight Show regained the lead and has held it since then. However, by August 2012, The Los Angeles Times was reporting that The Tonight Show was in serious trouble for a number of reasons, most notably that NBC has been losing money. While Leno offered to take a pay cut, at least 24 members of his staff were laid off.[26] By March 2013, there were rumors that NBC would have Jimmy Fallon, who has been hosting Late Night since 2009 when he succeeded O'Brien, become the next host of The Tonight Show when Leno's current contract ends in 2014 and NBC would move the show back to New York for the first time in over 40 years.[27] On May 13, 2013, during its fall "upfronts" presentation, NBC officially confirmed that Fallon will take over as host of the Tonight Show beginning on Feb. 24, 2014; Seth Meyers, in turn, will take over Fallon's time slot.[28]
Leno's final Tonight Show aired on February 6, 2014. Per the terms on his deal with NBC, his staff will be paid through September 2014. Leno wrapped up the night before the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, which began on February 7. Jimmy Fallon took over the Tonight Show on February 17.[29]
This section requires expansion. (February 2014) |
During the last year with Leno as host, The Tonight Show cost about $1.7 million a week to produce.[30] With 45 weeks of annual production, that amounted to about $76.5 million, excluding the salaries for Leno and the show's "top producers."[30]
In that same period, the show had been generating an estimated $30–$40 million a year in profit, down from the $150 million a year the franchise once made."[30]
The show follows an established six-piece format. After the announcer announces the opening credits for the show, the first segment is a long, ten-minute monologue by Leno, with quick one-liners about current events and brief comedy sketches occasionally mixed in. The second segment is a full comedy sketch, often a mini-documentary by a "Tonight Show correspondent" (e.g., Ross the Intern or Mikey Day), or a trademark of Leno's, like "Headlines."
As the nightly broadcast approaches midnight[dubious ], the first guest appears. The interview is divided into two segments, then followed by the fifth segment, which is the interview of the second guest. The sixth and final segment is almost always a musical performance, but occasionally, a stand-up comedian will perform instead.
Immediately following the last performance segment, Leno walks on camera to thank the performers, bid farewell to the audience and recommends watching Late Night which immediately follows The Tonight Show. As the closing credits roll on-screen, the closing theme, composed by bandleader Rickey Minor plays the show off the air. Minor composed a new opening and closing theme when he began his reign as bandleader on June 7, 2010.
Branford Marsalis was the original bandleader of the show from 1992 to 1995, leaving the show after feeling displeased with his role on the show, what he called being an "ass-kisser".[31] Kevin Eubanks, who was the guitarist in Marsalis' band, moved up to bandleader and remained with The Tonight Show and The Jay Leno Show until 2010, leaving the show for unclear 'personal' reasons.[32] Rickey Minor, former American Idol music director, replaced Eubanks.
Edd Hall served as announcer on The Tonight Show from 1992 until 2004. Hall occasionally appeared in skits during the opening monologue. These skits often involved slapstick injury to Hall (by using a stunt double, dummy, or film clip), such as vehicles running him over in the studio parking lot. Unlike his predecessors on Tonight (i.e. McMahon with Carson, Hugh Downs with Jack Paar), Hall did not serve as a sidekick for Leno during his tenure on Leno's incarnation of The Tonight Show.
Hall was controversially replaced in 2004 by The Howard Stern Show staff member John Melendez in what many perceived as a thinly veiled attempt to attract a younger demographic and nonsensical considering his 'stuttering' moniker. The hiring of Melendez, which was carried out by Jay without Stern's knowledge, prompted a rift between Stern and Leno. Stern tiraded on his show for weeks on end, touting how Jay was "ripping him off", citing previously 'lifted' material from his show such as "Jaywalking" ripping off Stern's 'homeless game' for example stating "To an 18- to 25-year-old male, Jay Leno is gay. He might as well put a dress on."[33] Since the move to The Jay Leno Show, Melendez was replaced as announcer, but remains on the writing staff.[34] Wally Wingert has served as the off-camera announcer since the start of Leno's second Tonight tenure, carrying over his duties from The Jay Leno Show.
Critical reviews for the show were mixed, with a Metacritic score of 49 out of 100, based on 9 reviews.[50] In a negative review, Robert Bianco of USA Today wrote; "Monday's opening monologue, supposedly Leno's strong suit, was tired, lame and unfunny. In other words, typical of the real Leno, rather than the Leno of public-relations imagination."[51]
The show was nominated for an Emmy award in the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series category ten times between 1993 and 2005. It won the award in 1995.[52]
The 10th Anniversary special, broadcast on April 30, 2002, drew in 11.888 million viewers.[53]
On September 22, 2006, The Tonight Show led in ratings for the 11th consecutive season, with a nightly average of 5.7 million viewers – 31% of the total audience in that time slot – compared to 4.2 million viewers for Late Show with David Letterman, 3.4 million for Nightline and 1.6 million for Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Two events helped Leno gain and keep the lead: a new set brought Leno closer to the audience and Hugh Grant kept his July 10, 1995 scheduled appearance, despite having been arrested for seeing a prostitute, where Leno famously asked Grant, "What the hell were you thinking?"[54] The final telecast of the first incarnation of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno had the show's highest overnight household rating for a Friday episode in the comedian's 17-year run as host of Tonight, averaging an 8.8 rating in metered-market households.[55]
For at least six weeks following his return to The Tonight Show, Leno's program beat Letterman in the overall ratings each night, though with a reduced lead in comparison to his first tenure. By mid-2010, The Tonight Show was receiving its lowest ratings since 1992, an average of 4 million total viewers, though he remained ahead of Letterman, who experienced a coinciding decline in ratings.[56] In September 2010, The Tonight Show posted its lowest numbers on record,[57] with Leno averaging 3.8 million viewers. This was a 12% increase in total viewers over O'Brien at the same time the previous year, but still 23% below O'Brien in the coveted 18–49 demographic. For the first time in almost 15 years, the show slipped to second place in its time slot being consistently beaten by Nightline.[58] In October 2010, David Letterman beat Leno's program in the ratings, for the first time since Leno returned to hosting The Tonight Show.[24][25]
In the May 2011 sweeps period, all of NBCs late night programming had increased viewership. The Tonight Show received a 15% increase in viewership compared with the first 36 weeks of last season. In that process, it outlasted rival late night talk shows Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, as well as Late Show with David Letterman on CBS. Both of Leno's lead-in, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Last Call with Carson Daly, also received increased viewership.[59] For the season, in the 18–49 demographic, The Tonight Show had 4 million viewers, compared with Late Show, which had 3.5 million, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which had only 1.9 million. Nightline, though, still beat Leno in the May 2011 sweeps, with 4.4 million viewers.[60]

CNBC Europe confirmed they would show The Tonight Show when Conan O'Brien took over from Jay Leno in June 2009. After Jay Leno returned, they have been showing The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. from Monday April 19, 2010 until the show's conclusion under Leno CNBC Europe aired the show on weeknights from 12.00 am CET in a one hour format, with double bill re-runs on Saturdays/Sundays from 9.00pm-9.45 pm & 9.45pm-10.30 pm CET.

In Israel the show was aired during the 1990s on NBC Europe, which was included in Israeli cable (later called the "Hot" company), though this channel was pulled from cable in Israel towards the end of the 1990s. Soon after, the show began airing on the Israeli popular cable channel Hot 3 (then simply called "Channel 3") until 1999. Since 2000, the show is broadcast in the Israeli satellite company yes (which launched in that year) in various channels, the current being yes stars comedy.

In Portugal, the show was first shown on SIC Comedia until the channel was off the air by the end of 2006. The show was switched to SIC Mulher until Jay Leno moved to prime-time. Sic Radical used to broadcast The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien following the demand from their target audience to Conan's humor, after Jimmy Fallon took over Late Night.[citation needed] The contract that both NBC and SIC had was not expired by the time The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien got cancelled, so the network received the rights to exhibit The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
In Sweden, Kanal 5 started airing The Tonight Show every night Monday to Friday with a one-week delay in 2000. In 2008, Kanal 5 chose to replace it with Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and moved The Tonight Show to their sister channel Kanal 9, with a rerun aired the next day on Kanal 5.[64]

Freddie Gibbs - Do Wrong
Artist: Freddie Gibbs
Featuring: Pill
Producer: DJ Burn One
Album: Str8 Killa No Filla
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 16 votes )
If God wanted us to do right, why'd he make it so easy to do wrong? Here with a rap meditation about that very paradox is Indiana's great hip-hop hope, Freddie Gibbs, and his new track Do Wrong. Rooted in some hustler-meets-soul production from DJ Burn One, whose boardwork here reminds me of the late, great Pimp C, Do Wrong is a slow burner ignited by the lyrically street flow that has earned Gibbs praise from the block to the pages of The New Yorker. Joining Gibbs on their journey to wrongness is ATL up-and-comer Pill – fresh off his highly rated Thoughts – who spits an enjoyable though not particularly remarkable guest verse. Hey, if doing wrong sounds like dope, I don't want to be right. For more from the talented Mr. Gibbs be sure to check out his forthcoming album Str8 Killa No Filla, coming soon, and listen for our very own DJ Z to chop it up with Gibbs in an exclusive interview, coming later this month.

Question from Animevixon
How do you kill the tigers?
How do kill the undead tigers without having bombs? it says you have to kick them, but I can't figure out how to kick them and I'm out of bombs. I'm in the mexico place
6 years ago
But what are the buttons you have to push to jump on them??
6 years ago
Accepted Answer
Do you mean the tiger thralls? The skeletal tigers?
It's a little awkward to do - the controls aren't that accurate. Just shoot them with your pistols first, so they are down and glowing with that blue light. Once they are down, stay calm - no button mashing needed. Walk up to the waiting carcass, face it, and STAND STILL. While standing still, press the A button. The system will perform an automatic jumpy/flippy move for you, that will stomp out the thrall.
The unfortunate key to the maneuver is to be standing still next to the thrall, when all you really want to do is jump while running up to it when it's down. But if you're moving when you press A, all you get is the normal jump action, which does nothing.
The other ways to kill the thralls are by running them over with your bike, or, eventually, using Thor's hammer on them. I did find one area - under the pool in Mexico - where you can knock them into a crevice and they can't get out. But that was just that one place.
You can also outrun them - they don't leave their assigned areas, so you can always just leave them behind if you don't need to stay in a location.
