Blurring the Lines: Bizarre Details Blur's Origins
Lead designers Ged Talbot and Gareth Wilson discuss Blur's action approach, why delaying it improved the experience, and what's ahead for the studio.
At a recent event to check out the game's multiplayer modes prior to the just-launched online beta test, we had an opportunity to speak with lead designers Ged Talbot and Gareth Wilson in separate interviews to discover what factors led to Blur's creation, the importance of the beta, and what the future might hold for the Liverpool, England-based studio.
Shifting Gears
Bizarre Creations was acquired by Activision in late September 2007 -- mere days before the launch of Project Gotham Racing 4 on Xbox 360 -- and was still working on promised add-on content for Microsoft at that point. However, after preparing four titles in the franchise over the course of several years, Wilson explains that the studio was ready to approach the racing genre in a completely different manner.
"We're always thinking of new concepts for racing games, but we'd been working on Project Gotham Racing for a long time. So we'd always wanted to do a game kind of like this. Like, 'Let's release the shackles and go crazy with something that's really, really exciting,'" says Wilson. "It's something that's been kicking around for a while. We always wanted to make a game where there's constant overtaking and constant action. And that's really when we got acquired by Activision. They said, 'Make whatever you want, guys. If you want to make another PGR-style game, go for it.' But we really wanted to make a game that was exciting all of the time."
While Blur strongly embraces the "action" end of the action-racing tag, with its powerful weapon attacks and even a demolition derby-like multiplayer mode, it's clear that the game doesn't completely abandon the realistic driving models seen in the studio's previous racing franchise. However, adapting that approach for 20-player online battles with wicked firepower proved an interesting process.
"The main difference that you'll see is in track design," explains Talbot. "We've retained the realistic-looking locations [...] but we made the decision to do 20-car racing, and 20-car racing means that you can't have 90-degree corners. You can't have a lot of the things that would make a normal racer skillful -- it would get in the way of a game where you've got to think about power-ups and shooting other people. We wanted track designs which were fun, where you could explore the tracks, and which would challenge you to a point, but wouldn't get in the way of powered-up racing. So by making changes to the circuits to open them up, that allowed us to keep the same dynamics and handling."
"I forget that people see us as a simulation studio, because we really donâ??t see ourselves as that," asserts Wilson. "We thought PGR was closer to Tony Hawk than Gran Turismo, because we thought it was all about being cool, [earning] Kudos and points, and showing off in your car. For us, Blur wasn't as big a stretch as other people thought."
But even if Bizarre doesn't see the game as a night-and-day transformation, many of the studio's longtime fans are likely to do so, at least at first glance. And while Blur does include a weapons-free online playlist, Wilson hopes the multiplayer beta test convinces any doubters, and makes it clear that this it the game Bizarre truly wanted to make.
"I think that's why the multiplayer beta is so important for us. I want to reassure the hardcore gamers that this game isn't a toy, and dispel the rumor that Activision forced us to make this game. They absolutely have not forced us to make this game. They would've been absolutely fine with us making a simulation game," asserts Wilson. "We wanted to make this game because we think it addresses some of the issues with some of the games in the racing genre; the fact that after the start of the race, it can get really boring when you can't see anyone in front of you or behind you."
Wilson believes the emphasis on action and the fact that a last-place lingerer can fight his/her way back into the race with skillful use of pick-ups sets Blur apart from the pack. "That's the difference between Blur and a more traditional racing game," explains Wilson. "And this isn't a problem with racing games -- this is a problem with racing. Even Formula 1 can be quite boring, unless you're a car geek like me."

I AgreePosted: Mar 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by ohJTBehaaave
After playing the multi player beta of Blur I'm totally getting this game.
This is the most fun and addicting time I've had with an online game since Socom.
I'm still looking forward to Split Second too... but now Blur is in the must have list too.
I am a convertPosted: Mar 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by inbetweenlines
@ Tess Stickles: I was of the same opinion that Blur was going to be a generic racing/battle blend, and that Split Second was the real deal. I saw the beta offered online, and decided to give it a chance, but was extremely skeptical. Have to say that I am surpirsingly wrong about Blur. It is a really great game with a true feeling of speed and chaos that I haven't felt since Burnout 3. The weapons are all very balanced and very strategic. With Mario Kart this is less complicated, because you never get that sense that you are really travelling fast, but with Blur it is integral to make the right weapon choices, going 200 mph+! I have had Split Second preordered for months, but after trying this beta, I believe I will be getting this as well. "Kudos" to Bizarre Creations for converting me to a true fan of Blur.
Split SecondPosted: Mar 02, 2010 12:00AM PST by ohJTBehaaave
If it weren't for "Split Second" I might give Blur a look. But in comparison Split Second looks so much better imo. It's like NFS, Burnout and Blur on Steroids!
I have a sneaky suspicion this delay is because of how good Split Second is looking. Right now Blur is an afterthought and will release and be gone in a ... BLUR! Yeah I went there! Duh.

Several adult members of our family stayed at Carolina Oaks for a weekend. We used all three guest rooms. The rooms were well furnished to include robes and hair towels. The breakfasts were delightful. We enjoyed our stay.

Loved our recent stop over at Carolina Oaks after spending four days with 3 small grandchildren. We needed somewhere clean and quiet. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and everything one would expect from a bed and breakfast. The house is beautifully furnished, the breakfast was great, the bed was very comfortable, and the front porch was a wonderful place for our afternoon coffee and strawberry shortcake from the owner's restaurant which was within walking distance from the house. Everything was just perfect as a quiet place to relax and wind down. The Inn is in a perfect location for additional sightseeing and the owners were eager to be helpful in providing area information. If you want a low-key, home style place to stay then this is it. We definitely would stay there again.

Was looking for a little weekend getaway with just myself and someone told me about the Carolina Oaks Bed & Breakfast. It was truley a great weekend and I could not have asked for better caretakers. Rachel and Kenny and of course their dog Beaver were so friendly and helpful with any information that I may have had about the house and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast for anyone who needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

My daughter and grandson came to North Augusta from Charleston for one night. We stayed at the Carolina Oaks. Rachel and Kenny (and Beaver) were so friendly and accommodating. Rachel was willing to meet our every need. They are so warm and friendly that they made us feel right at home. They have done an amazing job of decorating the inn while not making it so fancy that we felt like we were in a museum. I would definitely recommend this inn to anyone.

Athersys (ATHX), Rape, Pillage And Plunder – SELL! 1 commentJan 9, 2013 12:04 PM
Where's the beef?
Athersys (NASDAQ: ATHX) has suffered substantial losses throughout 2012 due to a combination of slow progress for the clinical development of their stem cell line MultiStem, as well as share dilution due to the recent offering.
In the past year the stock price dropped more than … 50% and they diluted the share count more than … 60%. ATHX's stock has lost … 90% of the value in … 5 years.
With ATHX's stock going nowhere - the Board of directors voted bonuses for their executive:
- Dr. Gil Van Bokkelen Chief Executive Officer $107,500;
- William Lehmann, Jr. President and Chief Operating Officer $77,000;
- Dr. John Harrington Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer $77,800;
- Dr. Robert Deans Executive Vice President, Regenerative Medicine $62,300;
- Laura Campbell Vice President of Finance $40,500.
The Bottom Line: So … rewards are for what - increasing dilution on top of their exorbitant salaries and - some call this a BUY! Shame … no wonder the RegMed universe is going … where? If this isn't a SELL - what is?
ATHX is trading at $1.18, down -$0.02 or -1.66%.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.Back To Henry McCusker's Instablog HomePage »

Just some interesting food for thought.There's a mini-discussion going on in the Twitterverse/blogosphere surrounding the usefulness of the "win" as a statistic. Here are some of the opinions:
My favorite from the article
Colin Wyers:
Whenever a manager holds his best reliever for a "save" spot rather than using him in a tight spot, he puts indiv. above team...Pitcher "wins" and saves are not simply benignly "useless," they actively encourage bad decisions.

Rabbit-Proof Fenceby Doris Pilkington Nugi Garimara
THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY OF THREE YOUNG GIRLS WHO CROSS THE HARSH AUSTRALIAN DESERT ON FOOT TO RETURN TO THEIR HOME. Following an Australian government edict in 1931, black aboriginal children and children of mixed marriages were gathered up by whites and taken to settlements to be assimilated. In Rabbit-Proof Fence, award-winning author Doris Pilkington traces the captivating story of her mother, Molly, one of three young girls uprooted from her community in Southwestern Australia and taken to the Moore River Native Settlement. At the settlement, Molly and her relatives Gracie and Daisy were forbidden to speak their native language, forced to abandon their aboriginal heritage, and taught to be culturally white. After regular stays in solitary confinement, the three girls-scared and homesick-planned and executed a daring escape from the grim camp, with its harsh life of padlocks, barred windows, and hard cold beds. The girls headed for the nearby rabbit-proof fence that stretched over 1000 miles through the desert toward their home. Their journey lasted over a month, and they survived on everything from emus to feral cats, while narrowly avoiding the police, professional trackers, and hostile white settlers. Their story is a truly moving tale of defiance and resilience.

2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
1 cup cashews, soaked
5 sprigs chives, cut into small pieces
2 clove garlic, minced
1 cup water

Hi thedailyraw: Rate recipes by clicking on the stars on the right bar. You are able to rate any recipe on the site!
I have read various books that say 2-8 hours or overnight or not at all. I personally soaked my soft nuts (cashews, pine nuts, etc.) for an hour or so, to soften them up a bit.
Can you explain the rating system to me. I noticed I received stars on some of my recipes but I didn't do it. How do you rate recipes. Thanks.
In the picture this looks really creamy and delicious... I haven't tried making this, but I've attempted similar things and they come out too watery. I'm excited to try this. :)
How long did you soak the cashews for?

Uncharted Film's New Director May be Limitless' Neil Burger
With David O. Russell out of the picture, Burger may now helm the movie adaptation.
David O. Russell decided to abandon the film version of Uncharted back in May for what were said to be "creative differences." It wasn't the first time he had left, but it will be the last. Variety reports that Neil Burger has been offered the job to write and direct the film.
Burger's most recent film, Limitless, starred Bradley Cooper and Robert de Niro, the latter of which was a possible actor for Russell's Uncharted. Limitless was fairly well received, garnering a 70% average rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Burger's previous two projects were The Illusionist and The Lucky Ones, which have 74% and 36% ratings, respectively.
Mark Wahlberg was set to play the leading role of Nathan Drake for Russell, with whom he's worked on a number of movies. According to Variety, there is no word on if he's still interested in moving forward with the movie, giving hope to the many fans who hoped Nathan Fillion would get the part.

Hopefully not Marky Mark.Posted: Jul 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by burningwind26
I would rather they just get the guy that plays Drake in the games. The voice is clearly perfect and his face matches Drake pretty well too. People may not know who he is but he has more experience than anybody else at playing Nathan Drake. If not though Nathan Fillion would do a great job I think despite the age difference.
No Fillion.Posted: Jul 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by Sins_Wage
Nathan Fillion is a great actor but he's too old to start as a character who is supposed to be 10 years younger than his actual age. I'd rather they find an unknown actor who fits the role than try to shoehorn anyone, even Fillion, into it.
If Burger gets FillionPosted: Jul 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by osebass
this will be a movie i will watch. as soon as i heard Mark wahlberg was Nate drake, i immediately knew it was gonna be a rental. keeping my fingers crossed, and here's hoping to a Fillion Burger (Film).
man thats old skool. good delivery

I don't know about you, but I'd feel kind of silly practicing yoga in front of all my office workers. And frankly, the suit isn't very conducive to mobility. But if you have your own office (and no issues about wearing sweatpants in public), this might work for you:
Yoga instructor Marcia Langenberg has a series of yoga poses cubicle workers who spend most of their workday sitting still can do at their desks. To demonstrate, she's offering 4 10-minute videos which teach you how to practice the poses without leaving the office or cubicle.

2006 Ford Focus ZX3 S 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I have been pleased with both performance and reliability of this car, especially the gas mileage. My job requires a lot of driving so comfort is a big plus. The seating height is also appreciated compared to other compacts I have been in.
Seating height/comfort and gas mileage.
Bring back the ZX3 in the new line.
I got this car about four months ago, and I have no complaints, other than I wish I got one with AC. For what it is, which is a cheap, entry level car, it's a great value. Very fun to drive on back roads, and can pass decently on the highway if you drop it into fourth going 60ish. Manual transmission and clutch are good. Acceleration isn't blistering by any means (I have the PZEV version, with only 130 horsepower), but it's fun on windy roads. I love how the back seats fold flat, cause it give my dogs a big area to hang out. I installed front seats for the 2004 SVT focus, which I'd recommend, since the ones that came stock weren't too supportive. I get 23-24 mpg, all city driving.
Handling, transmission, hatchback versatility & rear seats folding capability, fun to drive, 6 cup holders & a nice little storage cubby for cell phones etc.
Make AC a standard feature, I wish it got the advertised 27 mpg city fuel economy.
Just brought My Focus a few weeks ago and am very pleased. Overall quality is better than I expected and it's really a blast to drive. As a former Honda salesperson I'm amazed at how well thought out the interior is and the comfort of the ride. Definitely happy with the experience so far.
Strong AC (I live in Florida), and the great view of the road.
Lack of a tachometer on base model with 5 speed seems rather cheap.
I bought this car in the summer during Ford's Family Pricing event and got it for $11K. Great functionality, it can fit a elephant in it. Even better than its functionality is its performance, I love it! Drives like its on rails and 0-80 performance is a blast. 5 speed has a good feel and you always know where you are. Great functionality, amazing to drive, 30+ mpg average economy. Don't buy the car to be seen in, I still don't really like the idea of driving a Focus but if you want an inexpensive, reliable, FUN TO DRIVE, good little car, this is for you. And I've gotta say, after 20,000 amazing miles, I've gotten a lot more comfortable with the idea of having this as my car.
Engine sounds amazing, 5 speed is quick and accurate, handles like it's on rails, AC works GREAT, fuel economy is awesome, even with my aggressive driving.
Make it not have the stigma of being a Focus.

I'm writing this review hoping that it might relieve AT LEAST the tiniest bit of intense fury I have built up from 2 1/2 years of driving this disaster in engineering. This car is the embodiment of all things evil and horrible in the world. I bought the car for $3,000 in 2012. I gathered my service records last week to assess that I've spent ~$6,700 since on repairs (NOT including regular maintenance upkeep items). I've had a CONSTANT recurring oil AND tranny fluid leaks, blown head gaskets, I've rebuilt the transmission, replaced the fuel pump, replace all three engine mounts, the alternator, the radiator TWICE, the solenoid switch and more. It has only 130,000 miles & STILL HAS PROBLEMS!
Honestly, pretty much nothing. I have the 2000 Ford Contour Sport Edition, so the V6 engine gives it a little bit of a "get up and go" thrill, but the cons FAR outweigh that. That thrill was gone after a month of ownership when I first started getting problems. Who knows why I even bothered holding onto it for so long...
Everything. For starters, if you're going to make a car with a V6 engine, I would think giving it a sporty look would help. People MIGHT be a LITTLE more willing to perform the unlimited amount of repairs if they at least had a decent looking car. As for the interior, my car is in shambles. The interior is completely falling apart. The part of the dash closest to the windshield has CURLED UP from baking in the sun, limiting my view of the road...REALLY??? (I live in Utah, too. NOT Texas.) Panels are hanging from screws, both sun visors have broken off, the carpet is curling up and in shreads... it looks like I've beat it to death, yet I've done my best to maintain it. This car is a disaster.
I bought my Contour in July of 2001, it was a year old at the time. It was okay for the first few years, but just okay. Then, before I even finished paying it off, I had to have the transmission rebuilt. Then, in December of 2011, it went out AGAIN. The thing had 91,000 miles on it. It shouldn't need a new transmission every 45,000 miles, if you ask me.
Honestly, there was really nothing I liked about this car except for the engine power, the "get up and go". The steering was bad, the stability was bad, it was just a bad car.
They discontinued this car for a reason. Caveat emptor.
I bought this car new, it lasted 11 years. Fuel pump failed in weeks2. Second month, a small piece of debris smack the oil pan cracking the oil pan. (both common problems reported for this car at the time in user forums) year 1, the dash board pilled up in the summer heat. (another common issue) Year 6, the electric motors for the sun roof, left front door, right front door died and had to be replaced. Year 8, the padding in the seats became stiff. Dash board pilled again. year 11, 51,000 miles engine died 3,500 dollars repair.
Responsive steering, great acceleration, great visibility.
If your planning on buying this car, find out if the oil pan has been replaced. If it has, it's probable a good idea to avoid the car. If it hasn't, you may want to consider replacing the oil pan to protect the engine.
Keep spare bulbs for the tail lights, they go often enough to need multiple spares on hand.
The break light switches can slip out of the break. This happened to me 7 or 8 times over 11 years.
It's easy enough to put the switch back in, but you may want to consider taping the switch into place.
I bought my SE Sport new in 2000. Performance-wise, it was a fun car: great handling, a reasonably powerful engine, excellent brakes and steering, good 5-spd. I could drive this car fast and whip it around corners with ease. For $15K, it was probably the best handling four door around at the time. However, the car had way too many quality problems: brake hoses cutting themselves, the A/C failing multiple times, strange sounds from the engine, the dashboard warping. I got tired of it-- basically every year I knew something was going to go wrong. This car had a lot of promise but Ford cut too many corners for me to recommend it.
Great handling. Fun car to drive. Good breaks, steering, gearbox, etc.
Lousy build quality, plain jane dash, cheap stereo.
This vehicle has incredible performance for the price. It's fast and handles great and is comfortable inside. Most fun car I've had since an 86 Mustang SVO. Drove it on a 2000 mile trip and it got 28 MPG as well. I'm surprised there is not more of an enthusisasts aftermarket for these.

Moot Court Information
The University of Hawai'i chapter of the Native American Law Students Association (UHNALSA) was formed around 2001. Prior to the chapter, students of the William S. Richardson School of Law (Richardson) participated in the National Native American Law Students Association's (NNALSA) annual moot court competition. Richardson's first team was formed in 1994 consisting of Shayna Greenberg and Kawika Liu. In 1997, Mona Bernardino was the first Richardson student to win an award in the competition; First Place in the Best Oralist category. A few years later the chapter was formed. From 1997 through 2014 Richardson students collectively a total of
37 awards
in the NNALSA competition. In the 2011, the team received generous coverage from various local media outlets.
to read, watch and hear the different reports.
Early participation of Hawaii law students in the competition was born out of a desire to work on legal issues pertaining to indigenous groups.
A focus of UHNALSA is promoting the study of federal Indian law, Native Hawaiian law, and indigenous peoples' issues. Another purpose of UHNALSA is to help students, interested in these areas of law and issues, develop their oral and written advocacy skills. The development of these skills is primarily accomplished by preparation for and participation in the NNALSA annual moot court competition. UH NALSA's moot court team (locally known as the Native American Moot Court team) has been fortunate to receive an outpouring of support from Hawai'i's legal community, as well as the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs
and is appreciative of it.

Skip to comments.Whites must give up wealth (in South Africa)
Posted on 06/24/2012 8:13:15 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican
WHITE people in South Africa should volunteer to give what they have to be able to assist the nation.
This was said by ANC Youth League (ANCYL) deputy president Ronald Lamola yesterday at the leagues economic policy dialogue at Unisa, Pretoria.
The dialogue was titled The Role of Civil Society in attaining Economic Freedom in our Lifetime.
Lamola said: The only thing we are asking is to share the natural resources.
Why must we not get angry if white people continue to benefit?
He also said young people must be given a platform in the mainstream economy so they can play a meaningful role in society.
If young people are leaders of society why are they outside the mainstream of economy?, he asked. South Africa will only be united through the economy.
South Africans are already living like people are in Zimbabwe, Lamola said.
(Excerpt) Read more at citizen.co.za ...
And in Chicago.... to the taxman or the gunman. Three Killed, 26 wounded so far this weekend. And its a warm night on Michelle's South Side....
Racist White Haters? It is time to leave them to their own design and let them starve.
How much longer before the murders rapidly escalate to achieve "social justice"?
What happened in Zimbabwe wasn't enough of a lesson?
Dumb and Dumber.....please pick up the white courtesy phone.
USA (South Africa) today....USA (North America) November 7.
Read my tagline.
I think that white people, who choose to stay in South Africa have a death wish. Justice is just a fancy way of saying "revenge", and there is only one kind of revenge that most of the native Africans are after.
Fools run off those who know how to do, take the wealth they accumulated doing, then spend the wealth and start begging to the UN because the fools don't know how to do and their children starve. Sounds like the gene pool needs emptying.
I would not be surprised to see a fair amount of civil turmoil in South Africa and perhaps some majority white areas becoming independent.
You could just as well cross out "South Africa," and replace it with the name of most any major American city.
Translation=The only thing we are asking is that whites give up the fruits of their generations of labor and know how, to us because of our color.
I wouldn't live in Africa right now because of the racism.
While it is true colonialism exploited the natives, it also built up agriculture, education, medical services, etc. Now, the blacks do not want to be included in the proserity; they want to be given the fruits of the prosperity.
Reminds me of "reparations" in the USA.
Any day now I expect the First Wookie to mount a nationwide campaign to discuss the evil intentions of emergency food storage, of having a larder, of stockpiling survivalist supplies.
Marxism cannot get going until the people start begging for food.
What they should do is invade the homes of the people who make these statements and "disappear" them.
I know a few South Africans and they say it is very dangerous in their homeland and getting much worse. The educated, white and black are slowly emigrating.
I have a simple answer to the race question. Give them everything the whites have or own. No problem. The whites would have it back in a year.
Not a new concept, whatsoever. They got it from the the U.S.
Whites must give up wealth = Trillions of dollars in openly racist theft from white Americans in the form of "welfare" over the past 50 years.
Wow. I never thought that it would come to this, the confiscation of the white minority's wealth. And Nelson Mandela seemed like such a nice guy. *sniff*
Yeah, they might have their wealth back in a year, if they are not interned or killed. Bob
Coming soon to the US.
what about living in America with all the racism? When a black person crashes into me at the grocery store and doesn't even say sorry, I take it as deliberate.
When a black person tells me his child has to deal with Caucasians at school I take it deliberately. I know they hate me because of my whiteness.
That's why Stalin killed the Kulaks.
November 8th?
"The Bell Curve"
Spent a lot of time pre aparthied and post. Pre good, post bad. Same in Rhodesia.
Zimbabwe II.
Why would any white person still be in that toilet, South Africa?
The lack of individual rights, as well as property rights are a big deal, since we are dealing with dictatorships. Thank GOD that their education system teaches, a God based law and personal property rights, as well as the responsibility of personal ownership, and the basic respect for human decency.
Oh wait I'm dating myself to the USA 1940 era. Before the damned communist Marxists screwed it all up, and all the children cried kum bay yah, my lord. Now its all communist, marxist.
Now the people that stand with ball's are the extremists, keep track of the labelers, they are the enemy that must go first. That is, to the beaches to pound sand! ( A healthy exercise for sure)
They're doing this in Africa too?
It must be genetic.
I've been lately reading the books of Deon Meyer, an Afrikaner writer of good, taut crime/thrillers. (mostly based around Cape Town)
His description of the country would make you understand why they would not want to give it up.
But they may not have any choice.
Zimbabwe? Isn't that where they dispossessed the whites and now they're living like kings.
ANC is 100% socialist. Big surprise.
It's not well reported, as it doesn't follow the PC script, but white-flight from South Africa is now huge.... Why would you want to stay in a country ruled by ignorant racist marxists, who make up a majority?
Take the most unjust examples of American reverse discrimination and times that by 10, as it is standard in today's South Africa.
Millions of white South Africans have seen the writing on the wall and are leaving, for Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada & the USA.
That's racist.
Why does it have to be a white phone? That's racist.
Exactly. Exactly.
The majority of the population echoes those statements, won't happen.
There was a reason Mandela was in jail. Anarchist hardcore socialist.
The Commies confiscated every piece of property in Russia. It took them just about 80 years to squander it all.
South Africa has only been at it about 19 years. There is still plenty of property to confiscate.
Two men were digging in a ditch, one says to the other, "George, why the blazes we be diggin' this-er ditch, and boss-man up-dar sippin' ice-tea?
George grabs his shovel and jumps out of the ditch and says, "I dunno, but I'm-a-gunna find out!"
George walks over to boss-man and angrily asks, "hey boss-man, why we'z be diggin' and you be tellin' us what to do?"
Boss-man says, "George, give me your shovel", George hands him his shovel. Boss-man says, "ok George hold your hand in front of your face... now I'm going to swing the shovel to hit your hand... if your smart, you'll move your hand. Boss-man swings the shovel and George moves his hand just in time... WHAM*@!#+%$
When george wakes up, he lumbers back to the ditch, and half falls back in. George's partner asks, "Well? whad-ya find out?" George thinks for a moment then says, "here, take my shovel and try to hit my hand"......................
News from Mandela's Paradise, Now the Zuma reich..http://ajkraad.wix.com/genocide-museum
there is a movement to try and establish an orange free state, away from Jacob Zuma and his Afrofascists..
Isn't whites leaving South Africa in droves (some in caskets) enough?
It's inevitable.
Smart whites who are capable of sucking it up and doing the cold, hard calculation must liquidate everything they can't take with them, especially their farms and land, and vacate as soon as possible. Surely they see what is happening to the last white farmers in Zimbabwe. It's not just their money South Africa's whites need to escape with - - it's their lives.
"The whites in South Africa need to get out of that quasi-Marxist dump and go to other friendly countries where their work ethic, skills, and money are appreciated"
I wish it were that simple but they might have that choice. My bud is a S Afrikaner and his attitude is "why should I leave? They (Blacks) are the ones raping my kind and effing' up my country."
He sees the same thing in L.A. where whites are the minority but they have the money.
Another name for this?
Wealth redistribution.
Obama hasn't waited for us to volunteer - he has financed his wealth redistribution with tax money and trillions of borrowed dollars we cannot pay back.
My friend in Sandton says nobody white can go to JoBerg after 5 PM anymore.
The whites would not want it back in a year if Zimbabwe is any predictor.
In Zimbabwe the farms are confiscated with all implements, equipment, house and furnishings. The farmers can only take clothes and personal items.
The redistributed farms are then basically harvested for anything that can be sold all else is left to rot. The homes are lived in and trashed. There is not much to come back to except the land which left to what ever nature will do to it.

It's Called 'International' for a Reason: I-Drive's Surprising Best Bets
By A.D. Thompson
Orlando Local Expert
Alright, no one's going to argue that Orlando's I-Drive is ground zero for the city's zillion or so annual tourists, but with what seems like a zillion or so restaurants to match, is it possible to find an ethnic culinary gem amid the chain buffets and ubiquitous pancake houses? Indeed. In fact, if you dig a little deeper you might come to the conclusion that they named it INTERNATIONAL Drive for a reason. Did you ever imagine you'd find authentic Japanese or Ethiopian food in the heart of this tourist corridor? Such treasures surprise many an Orlando native, never mind the visitors. Of course, "chain" doesn't have to be a dirty word. There's something to be said for the fun and familiar when it comes to quality dining, especially if you're traveling with a diverse or picky group. Venues like Fogo de Chao offer fine food in lovely surroundings with the family-friendliness and ease of an all-you-can-eat buffet. Hotel-ensconced eateries like Spencer's provide elegant oases ideal for special evenings out, well away from the Disney-bound hordes. And restaurants like Tapa Toro, a new gem at the foot of the Orlando Eye, do up both succinct small plates for dates and succulent paella vats for family-reunion celebrations.
Fogo de Chão
Fogo De Chao, the well-known Brazilian steakhouse chain, could be described as something of an upscale all-you-can-eat option. Offering the I-Drive crowd – and a preponderance of locals keen on churrascaria, the Brazilian tradition wherein roaming "gauchos" present and slice a vast array of pit-roasted meats tableside – a dining experience that allows them to pace their meal as they wish, using a two-sided disc to signal when they're ready for more. The eatery's "salad bar," which is laden with far, far more than veggies, helps round out the meal with side dishes. Fogo de Chao is pay one price. Half price for kids and free for those ages 6 and under. ((407) 370-0711)
Though tucked into the confines of an unremarkable shopping center, for Venezuelan comfort food, Q'Kenan is tops. Cachapas, arepas and empanadas are just three of the stars on a vast menu that's drizzled with smooth crema and dressed with rice, beans and plantains (green or sweet). Unfamiliar with the cuisine? Don't be shy. Staffers are happy to walk you through the Comida Venezolana 101 crash course and breakfast, lunch or dinner. The impressive arepa menu alone, most under $5, loaded with an array of ingredients such as beans and cheese, shredded chicken, ham or pork, might make decision-making tough. If you're in a group, you'll hope it's made up of sharing types. ((407) 238.0014)
Pio Pio
What's the burning question on the minds of Pio Pio patrons, you wonder? Perhaps it's how they serve such generous portions in the tourist zone for such reasonable prices. Perhaps, if they're locals, it's a disbelief that it's taken them so long either to find the comfort food their abuela used to make or how they haven't sampled Latin staples such as maduros, empanadas, or grilled skirt steak before stumbling onto this unassuming, family-friendly little place. Maybe they're just wondering what the secret ingredients are for Pio Pio's signature rotisserie chicken marinade. All are valid. But don't think too hard. Just eat. ((407) 248-6424)
Spencer's for Steaks and Chops
Locals (those in-the-know) and visitors alike visit Spencer's for Steaks and Chops, and its location inside the Hilton Orlando, which is also connected to the Orange County Convention Center, likely garners this venue a steady stream of corporate business. But really, this exemplary operation, a multiple award-winner, only has one kind of customer: repeat. Featuring USDA dry-aged prime beef, Spencer's for Steaks and Chops receives as many raves for gracious, knowledgeable service as it does for its hefty wine list, heftier porterhouse and heavenly desserts. Spencer's is open Tuesday through Saturday, but hours may vary seasonally. Call or use Open Table for reservations. (4073138625)
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is a hybrid of sorts, a superb restaurant that melds family-run warmth with a fine-dining vibe, making it a wonderful place for a date night, a client dinner, a post-work glass of Chianti or a special occasion dinner. You know, like Nana's birthday. Convenient for both vacationers and business travelers � but Vincenzo's tourist-friendly I-Drive location does nothing to keep the locals from returning for authentic cuisine and service that often goes above and beyond. Live music (like Sinatra, of course!) keeps things lively on busy Friday nights. A diverse menu ensures everyone in your party will find a dish to suit. (407-745-4030)
Tapa Toro
From the folks who brought you Taverna Opa, another of our I-Drive favorites, comes Tapa Toro, a beautiful addition to the I-Drive 360 complex, where the paella pit beckons, flamenco dancers stomp and sangria – particularly at happy hour – makes the music and food even better. Open for lunch and dinner, this lovely venue makes a convenient, tasty complement to "star-gazing" at Madame Tussaud's or a circuit on the adjacent Orlando Eye. Tapas abound, so you need not come famished, though you may find yourself hanging around. Gluten-free and vegetarian options mean diverse groups can enjoy...though the croquetas – rife with flaky cod or savory ham – could sway even ardent abstainers. (407-226-2929)
Taverna Opa Orlando
Consistently ranked as a Greek favorite in the City Beautiful, Taverna Opa is something of an all-encompassing experience, as diners are immersed in authentic, satisfying Mediterranean fare – along with a steady stream of flying napkins and Ouzo shots. Nighttime brings out the DJ and the alluring belly dancers (they often play with fire, so watch those napkins) who somehow manage to encourage even the shyest of patrons to join in traditional Greek line dancing, sometimes even on the table tops. Pointe Orlando is arguably the I-Drive ground zero for tourism but that doesn't stop locals from getting in on the fun. (4073518660)
Hot Krust Panini Kitchen
Serving up tasty fast-casual eats from its comfortable Dr. Phillips digs, this cheery "paninery" does up a multitude of classic pressed sandwiches with fresh, locally made bread and house-roasted meats, which makes a big difference when it comes to taste. Vegetarians will find more than a few selections of krusty-with-a-K goodness for their diets, as well. From Philly steak to fondue turkey, Greek veggie to the sriracha-laden "Razzle Dazzle," which melds steak, provolone, strawberry jam and banana peppers for a unique fruity-tangy-creamy amalgam, – diners are sure to find a sandwich to suit in HK's fast-casual environs. They're pretty friendly, too! ((407) 355-7768)
Hanamizuki Japanese Restaurant
Let the fact that Hanamizuki's website is in Japanese clue you in: this I-Drive dining experience may be atypical compared with Japanese restaurants you've frequented in the past. And that's definitely not a bad thing. Hanamizuki serves sushi to be sure, but you may want to save that for another venue and treat your palate to something new and adventurous amid this restaurant's traditional Kyoto-style menu. Ramen is a lunchtime favorite here – be aware: it is not available at dinnertime – locals travel from well outside the tourist zone for their Japanese noodle soup fix, bowls laden with noodles and perhaps pork and boiled eggs depending on your selection, all quite elegantly served. The tableside hot stone grill makes for an interesting presentation, as well. Lots of vegetarian options for the herbivore in your group. ((407) 363-7200)
Nile Ethiopian Restaurant
The Nile ain't just a river in Egypt, as the saying goes (sort of). In Orlando, it's one of a handful of independent restaurants amid I-Drive's sea of chain offerings, one serving up authentic Ethiopian fare in traditional style. What does this mean? For starters, no utensils. Getting the food to your face requires the use of injera, a spongy, tasty, vaguely crepe-like bread. Tear a piece off and simply scoop up the lentils, stewed chicken, seasoned beef or whatever other selections intrigued you and enjoy. Nile offers some wonderful selections for vegetarians, too, making it an excellent choice for everyone in the group. ((407) 354-0026)

I love this bread toasted. It's great with butter and honey. The price is great for what you get. If you like typical white bread you may not like this. If you like whole grains and seeds, this is great!

It's not very good out of the package. The texture is pretty dry, brittle and generally unenjoyable. However when it heated it's pretty good.
Not for the average carb lover

As a person with no experience with these kinds of "bread" I have to say I was shocked that this is considered bread. I purchased it due to its extremely healthy description, but if you (like me) are imagining fluffy yum bread with added benefits you will be disappointed! I guess you can't have it all :) Each slice is very thin, extremely dense and crumbly, and I just don't think I can ever produce enough saliva to get this down my throat smoothly. I still can't decide if it has a pleasant taste or not which makes me think that it is just not for me. HUGE props to those that enjoy this!!! You guys must be healthy AF.
whole rye bread

These rye breads with some cream cheese improve my depressive mood. I noticed it contains iodised salt. I tried iodised salt supplement and compared, but after 1 month, still these rye breads has some effect other than iodine. I can compare the effect with some SSRIs and I can say it is as strong as low dosage of some effective SSRIs.

J'adore ce type de pain mais je suis un peu déçue car il est très friable.
