Recently, Tokyo Sexwale, the Human Settlements Minister, announced that free housing for the poor has to have a "cut off date." He argued that it is unsustainable to provide free housing to the poor "for a long time." This is a far cry from the Freedom Charter's spirit, which champions the principle that "All people shall have the right to live where they choose, to be decently housed and to bring up their families in comfort and security."
The post-apartheid state has become what Fanon warned against - a postcolonial government that governs with total disregard for the new social relations that black people of this country fought for. When black people came out in huge numbers to vote in 1994, they did so because they wanted to do away with white supremacist institutions; they wanted to change history. They wanted social revolution, not social evolution. That is what we were promised when we came out to vote in 1994. What we are living through at the moment is a 'fragile travesty' of what we fought for. Post-apartheid South Africa is going through a social evolution of the worst kind.
White privilege is still very much intact; and it self-perpetuates itself in different guises with plausible deniability. That is the logic of whiteness after all. Apart from the fact that whiteness is predictable, it is oppressive, and quite frankly boring. I use the term whiteness to refer to the system that allows whites to occupy most of the top positions in South African institutions, i.e., universities and private companies.
Economically, the post-apartheid government is powerless. And, in reality, big capital rules. That is partly why companies such as Anglo American Corporation, Old Mutual and South African Breweries were allowed to list on the London Stock Exchange. Moeletsi Mbeki recently pointed out, "This is proving to be one of the largest removal of capital gains, with the dividends being paid into another stock exchange." So what is our government going to do about that?
We can reasonably assume that there is no "cut off date" for the South African companies that have their primary listing on the London Stock Exchange. Yet we constantly hear that there ought to be "cut off dates" for reforms like affirmative action and free housing.
When post-apartheid social movements point out that many black people in this country live in poverty and therefore there ought to be a cut off date on that too, the government sends out its goon squads to beat people into silence. There have been instances where these half-crazed, functionally illiterate goon squads have actually killed people. The case of Andries Tatane comes to mind. Abahlali baseMjondolo in Durban have intimate knowledge of how far these goon squads are prepared to go when in action.
Other government critics that cannot be dealt with through the use of violence are dismissed as being too dull to understand the intricate logic of the National Democratic Revolution (NDR). Apart from the reforms based social evolution that is currently taking place, the NDR has yet to disrupt the workings of fundamental historical forces.
Frantz Fanon wrote that postcolonial revolutions ought to give birth to new men and women. Are we to believe that BEE types such as Tokyo Sexwale, the founder of Mvelaphanda Holdings, are the embodiment of the new man Fanon was talking about? There is nothing new about BEE types or tenderpreneurs for that matter. White capital, BEE types and tenderpreneurs are all members of the same family. They play similar social roles; they exist to unashamedly exploit decent and honest working people, and to abuse society's resources to serve their goals, which can be reduced to simply making maximum profit.
Many black people fought against these social roles during the apartheid regime, and they are still resisting them today. This is what post-apartheid social movements are partly fighting against. However, we are told that there is a 'born free generation' that supposedly has different aspirations. It is not clear how this born free generation has different aspirations when they are also expected to fill in social roles in institutions that require them to interact in old ways, albeit slightly different. As Al Sharpton said of the U.S., "We've gotten to an era where people are much more subtle and more manicured. Jim Crow is now James Crow, Jr, Esquire."
What further complicates the issue in South Africa is that the people who are politically in charge are black people. Social movements such as Abahlali baseMjondolo point out, however, that the roots of social problems in South Africa are oppressive social institutions, and not individuals. They argue that it is 'better to destroy' the set of institutions that compels social actors to oversee an oppressive system. "Nothing good can be done on a rotten terrain," according to Abahlali.
The other interesting point about the post-apartheid South African society is that it is a society that has different societal institutions that are pulling in different directions. For instance, the ANC views itself as a revolutionary movement that is engaged in the NDR project while, on the other hand, it is implementing neoliberal policies that are hurting the poor. Consequently, a large number of black people are unemployed, and many people live in poverty. The ANC Youth League is calling for nationalizations of economic institutions. The communist party and trade unions are in bed with the government. The white party, the Democratic Alliance, exists to preserve white privilege. And we supposedly also live in a non-sexist society where, ironically, violence against women is a national sport.
Also, as it has been said before, South Africa is a country with two economies: one developed and the other under-developed. Through social movements, people from the latter economy are organizing themselves to fight for a just and equitable society. It is starting to dawn on people that the NDR has reached its "sell by" date. It is possible that this is the thinking behind what the media refers to as municipal revolts.

Whiteness? Capitalism? No Black Elites?
Majavu is quite right that for most Africans - as well as most Coloureds and Indians - the national liberation struggle was left incomplete. He is also quite correct to stress that race remains an essential feature of SA inequality, and to lambaste the ANC for its active role in creating inequality and assaulting the broad working class.
However, I think elements of his analysis of what this implies - and what caused this - is less convincing.
The author (like most people who throw around terms like "whiteness") conflates two meanings of whiteness: whiteness as white race with a certain appearance, descent, history etc, and whiteness as white privilege. (Unless there is this conflation, it is impossible to make the argument that ALL whites are privileged relative to ALL blacks).
Now, you can be white without white privilege in SA today. There are whites who are so desperately poor that they qualify for the very free RDP housing that Majavu fears will be removed. The recent allocations in Kagiso evidence this.
You can be white without wanting making claims FOR white privilege. The phenomena of "whiteness studies" in universities is pretty much precisely that - it is a predominantly white movement.
But I don't want to dwell on this essentially liberal movement, but point out the whites like Bunting, Slovo, Turner, Aggett who gave their lives to fight against racial supremacy.
Third, you can have enormous privileges without being white. Sexwale, so decried in this paper, is immensely wealthy - indeed, far wealthier than 99% of whites in South Africa. What "privilege" do these whites have relative to the billionnaire Sexwale?
To speak of SA as based on white privileges, in which all whites share, to the detriment of all blacks, cannot account for this - however, a simple idea - class - can do so with ease.
The privileges that many whites have due to the apartheid history - which is NOT to say all whites have privileges - are mediated by class, gender etc. Likewise, the position of many blacks is also mediated by class, gender etc
Majvau writes as if the "top positions in South African institutions" are equal to the "top position" in "universities and private companies." This is linked to his assertion that "Economically, the post-apartheid government is powerless. And, in reality, big capital rules."
The problem with this line of narrow thinking about power and "top institutions" is that the state machinery is entirely ignored as a source of power - and, indeed, of black (elite) privileges given that the state is essentially captured by an African elite, which wields vast economic, military and bureaucratic power.
We have no sense at all from Majavu's piece that
a) the state accounts for 40% of SA GDP
b) is the largest single employer
c) owns almost all the universities (which are therefore under de facto and de jure African - elite - control)
d) is heavily involved with the private sector through PPPs
e) wields an army, police and bureaucracy
f) key politicians are also major capitalists
g) through law can bring in the very measures like AA and BEE that Majavu wants retained
Now, if measures like BEE, AA and housing policy had no effect on blacks, then there is no need to worry about cut-off dates for BEE, AA etc. But Majavu does worry - admitting in this way that they have an impact precsiely because they are backed by state power.
And who wields that state power? If, as Majavu claims, the DA is "the white party" that "exists to preserve white privilege," the fact must be faced that no "white party" has any possibility of state power.
Given Majavu's interest in Albert's "participatory economics" theory (influenced by anarchism) it is remarkable that the analysis here ignores the independent power of the state - and therefore, the Black elite that dominates almost all "top positions" in this most crucial of "South African institutions". This bureaucratic/ managerial elite is (for Albert) a "coordinator class" that can dethrone capital - only though to create a new elite.
This black elite has remarkable amounts of power - certainly it is not an instrument of white privilege or runs by whites - but if so, then we can't operate through a simple analysis that views ALL blacks as oppressed and ALL whites as privileged....
Who rules South Africa? A black state elite allied to a white corporate elite. Who benefits? A black middle class and a white middle class. Who loses? First and foremost the African, Coloured and Indian working class. Second, a significant part of the white working class.
Cut Off Date
Stop generalising about Whites.... there are many that voted against Apartheid and have been sidelined throughout history....
I find your article very racist.... There is no point in going backwards but to move forward keeping the good intact... if we dont, we will end up like Zimbabwe....
Equal, In Fact, So Let Us Realize This
I am white. Except for some small trace of asiatic around my eyes, most would not know that I am descended from Cherokee American Indian Tribe. I am 54.
When growing up, I soon realized that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the most logical, true, the most intelligent man on the planet. His speeches, full of logical arguments, and plain examples, I hope, became the backbone of my logical structure. In observing cases of wrong thinking, most popular in mass media, I realized that the entire model that society was supposed to buy, was a model of "domination". True Democracy was actually NOT encouraged. We were taught to follow a "Leader" who was to be "above" us, in one way or another. In truth, even though my I.Q. was "tested" up to as high as 170, I have found that I learn from everyone, from each one, if only I respect them, if only I listen and observe.
When the Taliban in Afghanistan declared that there will now be no more female doctors, they suddenly had a health emergency: half their doctors could now not work. So they backed off slightly, and said that women could treat women. Still stupid, but more effective rule. They had gone to less than half effective, overnight, by stupid decree.
Same thing happens when we choose the "leadership" model: less input to solve any and every problem. Now you talk about the lack of housing. Apply my view here. Real estate exists to be sold, because some King or his man says "I claim this land in the name of the King!" Now it can be divided and sold. If instead we said "The people of this entire land claim this land for themselves" then the people can divide it among themselves as they mutually agree. Check your history, how was the land originally "patented"? If it was first declared by some King to be real estate, nullify that, get the people together, and declare your land to belong to all of you, not derived from some colonialist nor native king.
Peace to you.
Electrification, Worldwide
Buckminster Fuller (scientist, inventor, worldian) said in his book "Critical Path"--1969-- that the world must construct a world wide high voltage electrical grid. First, across the Bering Straight, across Eurasia, then down Africa, down South America. I want to pay Africa to put up solar cells, so I can party all night.
I'm Bored Too...
Although the writer makes some good points, frankly, I'm bored with commentators who lazily revert to terms such as 'whiteness' to explain complex socio-economic relationships that are deeply rooted in class divisions and the capitalist system, and which aren't merely a symptom of the legacy of apartheid. After all, as he points out, the ranks of the economic and political elite have been opened up post-1994 to allow in many people of colour, but the majority of ordinary working people and the country's vast number of poor people haven't benefitted from this in any way.
Most of all, I'm bored with the 'bad whites' / 'good blacks' debate and I'd like to see a little more intellectual rigor when dealing with issues such as those raised in this piece.
For instance, the writer points out the 'disconnect' between the ANC's view of itself and its neoliberal policies, but still clings to the notion that access to wealth is something that's defined by race and not by greater structural inequalities which the present (majority black) government is not only perpetuating, but entrenching.
Not only am I bored with this kind of rhetoric, I'm ANGRY. Personally, I'm tired of doing the 'guilty white person dance', no matter what my own history, beliefs and present situation might be.
I want to see greater social and economic justice across the board, not only in SA, but all around the world - and I devote a lot of time to trying to make that happen. In return, I expect one thing: to be judged on the content of my character and not by the colour of my skin. Isn't that what trying to build a truly equal, non-racist democracy should be about?
White Females Should Vacate Privilege Positions Asap
"I use the term whiteness to refer to the system that allows whites to occupy most of the top positions in South African institutions, i.e., universities and private companies."
I could not agree more that something very serious is amiss.
Especially white females such as Prof. Samantha Vice and Dr. Sally Matthews et al that are diligently promoting so-called �white guilt�, �white shame� and �white privilege� that are the most conspicuous undue beneficiaries of the ill-contemplated AA policies of the ANC, should be more sensible and resign their privileged academic positions forthwith to create capacity for the advancement of truly formerly disadvantaged individuals.
Moreover, they should not be allowed to further their careers in the private sector as is the case with thousands of white males that are condemned to a life of perpetual poverty because they are permanently banned without a sunset clause from entering or re-entering the SA labour market ever again.
And nobody including the so-called human rights activists in this country is apparently concerned about any of the provisions of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights which inter alia stipulates that:
Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.
No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.
"In return, I expect one thing: to be judged on the content of my character and not by the colour of my skin. Isn't that what trying to build a truly equal, non-racist democracy should be about?"
According to Samantha Vice et al you are due to your whiteness and the undue advances or privileges associated with whiteness, in no position to insist on anything.
The situation will most probably get much worse for whites (including white females) as soon as the rule of law and the universally accepted human rights make way for the full force of the communist inspired and racist NDR.
Remember what Martin Niem�ller said?
"First they came for�"
Dispelling Some Myths
With regard to my comment above, may I be so bold as to post a link to a feature by economist, Mike Schusler, which was published on Moneyweb today? It's entitled 'SA�s poor list: SA employers earn less than cleaners' and can be found here: http://www.moneyweb.co.za/mw/view/mw/en/page292681?oid=554004&sn=2009+Detail&pid=287226.
The latest Labour Market Dynamics Report, published by Statistics SA, shows the oft-quoted 'fact' that "white privilege is still very much intact" is more myth than fact.
Although Schusler's analysis isn't based on race as a criterion, it offers some salutary insights.
By way of example, as in the black population, a small number of white people at the very top of the economic pile pull in huge remuneration packages; the average person simply doesn't. And - a real eye-opener - some 'bosses' (who are presumably, according to Majavu, predominantly white) earn less than government-employed cleaners.
Hopefully a careful reading of this piece will dispel some other myths about this blanket term, 'white privilege' ...
The Emperor Has No Clothes
@TheDrake "According to Samantha Vice et al you are, due to your whiteness and the undue advances or privileges associated with whiteness, in no position to insist on anything."
Yup, sadly, that seems to be the gist of it. All of which means - and let's put it plainly - that we've simply exchanged one form of domination for another; one form of authoritarianism for another. Perhaps it's time we opened our eyes and acknowledged that the emperor we calll democracy has no clothes ...
@ Lee Cahill.
Thank you for the link.
I respect your views and that of Mike Sch�ssler.
�This fact � that a typical employer earns three times of that of a typical employee � will not increase entrepreneurship and job creation as the risks and work load are far higher than most people think.�
�Did you know that 25% of all employers earn less than R3 000 per month and in many cases they earn less than their employees even as they are the individuals taking all the risks. This often seems to be the case in rural areas.�
This confirms is my personal experience for a cruel 10 years as a small business owner.
However, Cosatu says:
�The painful reality is that 16% of employed workers earn less than R500; 33.4% earn less than R1 000, and 60% earn less than R2 500.�
�This means that our strategy must proceed from the fact that the working is not a class on and for its own but has the responsibility of uniting the widest range of class and social strata in a common struggle for the realisation of the NDR.�
When will these socialists and communists that are ruining everything for everybody with their NDR come to their senses?

Django Restaurant
Online Reservations
I'm from a Denver Colorado and came to visit Des Moinse, this restaurant is amazing. The food, atmosphere, and service were beyond expectation, this is a big city restaurant doin it right and making all feel welcome. Out of all places I've been this tips my charts putting Des Moines Iowa on my map of great restaurants.
Excellent food. Service was about average, but the bar was slow.
We did DSM restaurant week and loved it! Great braised pork belly!
We met up with a friend for Sunday morning brunch. I'm not sure exactly what makes "brunch" different from breakfast, but it was really good. All three of our dishes were fantastic. The Bloody Mary was one of the best I've ever had. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, though it started to pick up by the time we left. Our waiter was awesome. Very friendly and polite. He was that perfect mixture of attentive while not being pushy or annoying. Would go again for sure!
Excellant service and food. Servings of ample size. Will eat there again.
We always stop at Django when we are in Des Moines.
Django is a perfect place to have dinner for nearly any occasions. The atmosphere is set for the perfect dining experience and the portion of this, it's not expensive like many of its peers in the area.
Great menu, good food and good service. Noise level was a bit much however. We were a few minutes late and they held our table nice gesture.
Great food, menu a little bit off the beaten path. No corkage fee when you bring your own wine. That tips the scales every time when were deciding where to go for a nice dinner.
No complaints about service. Great waitress, friendly, and personable. Food was okay, but perhaps this was unattainable expectations when serving foie gras on a hamburger. I would love to return and try something else, but for now travel takes me elsewhere.
Django is a very good restaurant. The food is always very good whatever we order and the service is also very good. We enjoy going there for special occasions and just because,
When I arrived before my date, hostess was kind and flattering. Service at the bar was quick and professional My date arrived and our table was ready. Service was fast, polite and very accommodating. It was never we can't and they delivered special order. Food was original, delicious and filling. Impressed for sure! And it's high quality, yet casual, perfect for the foodie crowd.
Myself and 3 friends went to Dgango to celebrate girls weekend and we were not disappointed! We shared the ravioli appetizer, one ravioli each, perfect way to start dinner, fresh bread also delicious. We all had different dishes, scallops were superb, beef bouillabaisse was outstanding and big enough to share, chicken was excellent and salmon was delicious. It also was nice to bring our own wine in since no corkage fee.
My first trip tp Django went great. We had Oysters Rockefeller, Mussels Bleu Cheese, Chicken Proscuitto and Seared Sea Scallops. I was not shocked when I got the $127 bill considering 4 cocktails it is what I expected. The food and service were both super. If I had to throw out a negative it would be that the oysters were hiding in the topping. You only knew you were eating oyster in one of the five shells. The topping was tasty but I did order "oysters" rockefeller. I would recommend Django! I will go back to expirement with more menu items.
I chose Django for brunch with a group of friends in town for a bachelorette party. It is a lovely restaurant, with a great environment. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent, everyone was very satisfied. I had the Django crepes and they were great. I would definitely return again!
Celebrated my birthday with a few friends. Everything was delicious and we had a lovely time! I especially loved the mushroom crepes. Thanks!
Food was great. Staff is attentive. Atmosphere very enjoyable.
Seared Sea Scallop dish with heavenly mashed potatoes with bits of corn and lobster is the best scallop dish in Iowa. No corkage fee is the icing on the cake
Django has great food, great wine and cocktails and a great atmosphere. The only negative I have is that both times I've been there for dinner, the service is slow. The waitstaff are friendly and knowledgeable, it just seems to take awhile to get the food after ordering. I had a similar experience at another downtown restaurant so maybe that's just how it is downtown. But the food is so good, it wouldn't keep me from going back.
Situated in downtown Des Moines, Django has an understated bistro vibe, from the wall of copper cookware behind the hostess station to the oversized French posters in the dining room. Service was attentive and the food was very good. My husband ordered a French beer and Steak Frites Au Poivre and I had Seared Sea Scallops with lobster sweet corn pomme puree, grilled asparagus and sweet corn red onion butter sauce. "Djust" delicious! No room for dessert, but the table next to us ordered the chocolate ganache cake with chocolate gelato and it looked divine. Prices a little on the high side, and there was a crying baby in the dining room, but other than that it was a very enjoyable experience. Would love to go back and try other menu items.
Food is very good. We find it a bit too loud so its difficult to go with a group of people and have any kind of conversation without yelling.
Django was a good choice. However we were there to celebrate and did not realize it was "all night" happy hour on Tuesday's. Nothing wrong with that other than it was very busy and much louder than we had expected for a Tuesday evening. Great menu with lots of choices. Food was good as were the drinks.
The food and service was very good but a little noisy. We will come again and some friends again. They enjoyed it also.
I always enjoy eating at Django, this restaurant is where I choose to bring my close friends. The foods is always delish!
The staff was friendly. Great soups. A great omelet-not undercooked and the cheese was hot.
The food was wonderful, and I love the fact that they allow you to bring your own wine without a corkage fee. But I could never recommend it for a quiet, romantic dinner. I realize it was a Friday night, but the open layout and proximity of the tables are not at all conducive to conversation. It did not help one bit that the gentleman at the next table was quite loud and obnoxious.
Yes i would go back again. Customer service was great
This was our third visit to Django. Their breakfasts are outstanding and evening selections are excellent as well. There is a good variety of food and it is well-prepared. One of our new favorites in Des Moines.
My wife and I went there for a nice dinner out, and the ambiance was perfect--not too loud, and we could hear each other. I had a duck confit and she had a gourmet burger, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The cost of our meals totaled $40, which was very surprising as we thought it would be a lot (a LOT) more! So it was a pleasant surprise. The service could have been better, but it wasn't awful by all means. I measure that by two means: 1. whether we are "wowed", and 2. whether our water glasses were never empty. We weren't particularly "wowed" and our water glasses were empty. BUT overall--we'll be back for more! It was a great experience!
Great date night spot...awesome food...lively atmosphere! The wait staff and management was top class. The happy hour selections were excellent. Our dinner was superb and dessert was simply amazing. If you have not visited Django's then you have a treat awaiting you!
Food was terriffic. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. I recommend the Blue Cheese Medallions. The place is busy so a little noisy and tables are close together so there will not be much privacy. My only recommendation is our server could have been a little more attentive.
Usually i visit for lunch, this was first time visting at night on a weekend. Very busy and somewhat loud. Due to the noise level, i would say it hurts the romance aspect of a date. Our sever was very busy, but also very professional. While we waited slightly longer than we would like, we understood the restaruarant was very busy. I was able to order something from the lunch menu that was not on the dinner menu, so they were very accomodating.
We requested a quiet table if possible but was placed at a small table with a large group that was very energetic.
Top notch food and presentation. Pleasant efficient staff. Above average in price but worth every dollar. They strive to be none pretentious and they make it work.
Best restaurant in Des Moines without question. Have never had a meal that wasn't outstanding.
If you want delicious food, top notch service and an interesting menu, Django is a great find. Located in the heart of downtown Des Moines, it's menu, ambiance and service is perfect for business dinners, romantic dates or special occasions. Every menu selection is delicious and I especially recommend the duck frites, cheese flights, and seafood. You won't go wrong with selecting something more casual like a burger or pizza as well. One of the best distinctions of Django is the ability to bring in wine with no corkage fee. It makes a night on the town more affordable. Whenever we have the opportunity for a fun night out, Django is the first restaurant that comes to mind.
Food was great. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. The raw oysters are excellent. The place is busy so a little noisy and tables are close together so there will not be much privacy. My only recommendation is our server could have been a little more attentive.
Food and service were great! No complaints! Even got my 3 year olds approval.
We went here because the restaurant we wanted to go to was booked for the time we wanted. This restaurant was suggested because I believe they have the same owners. We were very happy with our meal, the prices, and the portion size.
We had an amazing time at Django. It was noisier than I have seen it in the past, but there was a good show in town so there were a lot of people eating and in a bit of a rush. Highly recommend starting with a cheese course. The server even brought us out a treat at the end of the meal because it was our 19th anniversary. P.S. if you are vegetarian or gluten-free, their menu is FABULOUS! Lots of options and everything is labeled so you don't have to worry.
The food is excellent and our server took very good care of us. Its a beautiful place but the noise is deafening. I would eat there again even so.
You can't go wrong going to Django. Food and wine are high quality. Service was good. Only complaint is the noise level. Otherwise, you won't be disappointed.
I moved to Iowa two years ago and have heard about Django since I moved here. I finally got a chance to eat there. I was impressed. The décor is unique and comfortable. We were there during happy hour, and I can highly recommend the $10 cheese and charcuterie platter. Lots of variety, and you can't beat the price. I also like the fact that they have four different flights of wine available. Service was the best I have encountered in Des Moines (although Centro is a close second). And the food was excellent. I had the pork chops with duck-fat fried potatoes. The only thing to watch out for: the portions are HUGE. I thought I was ordering one chop but got two (and took one home). In general, everything was excellent.
I've been to Django several times and the food is always amazing!! The service is usually good somes slower at lunch time. It gets busy during lunch so it may take longer than your lunch hour, but definitly worth being late for!
The food was amazing! We sat at a small 2 top. It just felt like everyone was on too of each other. There was barely enough room for the server to get through. It definitely wasn't a very romantic atmosphere
I wasn't sure what to expect with a moderately priced French restaurant but was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and the portions huge. My wife and I could have easily shared and still had food to take home but there were too many things we wanted to try.
I ordered a dish I have had several times so I KNOW its is amazing, got it to share with friends and it was a little cold, mentioned it to the server, and let me say I ate most of it, she took it off our bill, I really didn't want her to do that, I mean I almost ate the whole thing, and I HATE when people complain and get something free. she insisted so I let it go.
Excellent dining experience. Service was impeccable. Food was incredible. This is why Chef Larsson was voted Des Moines chef of the year!
I had the tuna and it was fabalous along with a side of the beet salad which is to die for.
Fantastic food and service....We were very early and were quite impressed with the all aspects

A lovely welcome, we travelled with two 6 year olds and the downstairs sitting area /kitchen was perfect for us to spend time with the children without being stuck in our rooms. The owners are very friendly and thoughtful, giving the children warmer duvets to ensure they didn't get cold. Would recommend. We'll be going back.

An Open Letter to KATS 94.5 FM, Yakima Valley Rock
Dear Sirs,
First, let me say that I greatly enjoy your station. I deliver furniture so I am in my truck all day and I always have KATS on. I find that it gives me the hard-rock edge I need to get through my exhausting (and blistering hot) days. I think you guys have an excellent playlist that has a nice mix of Seventies (AC/DC, Black Sabbath), Eighties (Guns n' Roses, Ozzy Osbourne), Nineties (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains), and today. I have to admit I like the old stuff better, but many of the new bands carry the hard-rock mantle proudly and I have recently been glad to discover Mudvayne, Hinder and a few others.
One band I didn't discover on your airwaves, though, was Disturbed, and this brings me to my purpose for writing. I am a big fan of Disturbed--I think they have true talent, and I missed their last show on the west side of the mountains only because of poor timing. I thought Disturbed's debut, The Sickness, was one of the best rock albums of this decade and the sophomore effort was very strong as well. I had high hopes for their recent release, 10,000 Fists, and was gratified when the first single off the album, "Just Stop", kicked a more than respectable amount of ass. So I'm a Disturbed fan.
But brothers, that doesn't mean we write them a blank check, and it doesn't mean we indulge them when their artistic instincts lead them astray. I refer to, of course, the cover of Genesis' "Land of Confusion" included on the new album that you have decided to include on your heavy rotation.
I know that you have had people call in and complain about this song because your on-air personalities have taken to reassuring each other that it kicks ass. One of them recently remarked to another, "Y'know, I like that Disturbed cover." To which his co-host responded, "That's because you understand that it's Disturbed doing Genesis, not Genesis doing Disturbed."
Brothers, I've never worked in radio and like I said, I think you do a great job. But if you have to talk your listeners (as well as each other) into liking a song, isn't the writing kind of on the wall? It's not like it would be a hard spot to fill.
I mean, c'mon, Genesis? And we're not talking about the 60s- or 70s-era Genesis with Peter Gabriel. Those guys were actually okay. I'm talking about motherfucking-middle-of-the-Eighties-I'm-fat-and-balding-and-rock-slightly-less-hard-than-Michael-Bolton-and-my-name-is-Phil-Collins Genesis. And there's nothing rock n' roll about that.
I consider myself pretty politically savvy. I understand what the boys in Disturbed were going for when they picked the song. Genesis was talking about Reagan sucking in the 80s and now Disturbed thinks President W. sucks in a similar way. I get it. That's pretty insightful, in a way. But making your point by covering Phil Collins doesn't punish the President so much as it punishes your listeners, and I am a member of that latter group.
Why not cover Springsteen's "Born in the USA"? That started out as a protest song against conditions in Reagan-America until Reagan himself adopted it as a campaign song. Or how about "Blackened" by Metallica--that's actually a hard-rock song. Or "Goodbye Blue Sky" by Black Sabbath? There are all sorts of good, politically relevant hard-rock songs Disturbed can cover where I won't have to feel conflicted about listening to a song where Phil Collins is credited as a fucking songwriter.
So, in closing, I would like to request that Disturbed's "Land of Confusion" be removed from the playlist post-haste and that we all forget this shameful incident as soon as possible.
Thanks for the great station and thanks for taking the time to read this. I'll be listening; keep up the good work.

With California's early primary bringing unusual recognition to the Golden State, the Republican candidates are heading out West. They met in debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley on May 3. Do these Republicans have a shot at winning Jewish voters over in 2008?
Election Day 2008 is still more than a year away, but the 24/7 news cycle and the tidal wave of money already lavished on a long list of serious contenders have combined to redouble the assault on our senses and pocketbooks. Here are some notes from the campaign trail:

On the surface, one might suggest that Notre Dame's ever-changing star-of-the-game tendencies display a bit of inconsistency.
Rarely are Irish players the leading figures two, three, four games in a row.
Notre Dame's lead dogs change so frequently that one might suspect they run hot and cold from one game to the next.
But that, of course, would be an inaccurate description of a team that spreads the wealth about as well as any Top 25 team in the country.
Notre Dame's statistic sheet looks fairly similar to just about any other basketball team in the country. Five players average double-figure scoring, although the fifth - Kyle McAlarney - hasn't played the last 16 games due to suspension.So in essence, four players-Russell Carter, Colin Falls, Rob Kurz and Luke Harangody-average double-figure scoring. Two others-Tory Jackson and Zach Hillesland-are in the six-to-seven point range. Three others-Luke Zeller, Ryan Ayers, and Jonathan Peoples-combine for about another 10 points per game. ...More...

I'm rather knew to the game, but i played DotA for 2 years, was rather good, played LoL for awhile, and then my friend wanted me to join in HoN.
Ive come to quickly realize aslong as i can actually target them, i do fine, but theres some heroes I just CANNOT seem to click on effectivly
ex. i use Deadwood ALOT, i really enjoy him, but when i go to throw a tree, or ult someone, it seems I have alot of trouble actually being able to select them
is there a small clickbox for heros? is there a way to increase it?
Does your mouse suck, or your hand-eye?
Unfortunately that would provide some unintended benefit to you and is not an available option.
New to Heroes of Newerth? Find help in the Training Grounds.
TreeHorse is not an employee of S2 Games. Be warned: He will rage at you.
naw, i click on heroes perfectly fine in DotA and LoL, except for treant, as you always had to click closer to his feet instead of his head..it just seems for HoN its more of a linear target than an actual box target...
ive missed out on SO many kills cause i misclick so much
I guess just play some more games. You're only 30-40 in, right?
1v1 your buddy no stats and have him play shifty heroes like magebane or madman. Should help your targeting.
New to Heroes of Newerth? Find help in the Training Grounds.
TreeHorse is not an employee of S2 Games. Be warned: He will rage at you.
There is an option in the menu that slightly highlight your target when you hover over them. This makes it easier to know when you are targetting the hero and when you are targetting the ground/another unit.
I had a lot of trouble with misclicks too until I got this... although sometimes my mouse spazzes and I pyro nuke a creep.
New to Heroes of Newerth? Find help in the Training Grounds.
DenyTheTruth is not an employee of S2. All views in the above post are that of the poster and not that of S2 Games unless otherwise stated.
Sometimes you need to assert your authority over the creeps, and popping an ulti on one is necessary.
Thanks guys, I'm glad I'm not the only one then haha
seems like im improving, won the last 8 games straight Deadwood is beast!
Thanks DenytheTruth, ill def look into it
Also, if you play video games a lot it's worth it to invest in a high quality gaming mouse.
It really makes a big difference if you're using a crappy stock mouse. Just make sure it's not one of those scary wireless ones.

Adobe Powers India's First Stereoscopic 3D Animated Feature
New Delhi, India -- Adobe announced that Krishna aur Kans, an animated feature film presented by Reliance Animation, has been powered by Adobe technologies including Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop. Set for release on 3 August 2012, Krishna aur Kans will be India's first stereoscopic 3D animated feature film marking a milestone in the Indian animation industry. A team of over 1,200 exceptional artists have worked over the last five and a half years on this movie using a host of Adobe technologies to bring to life the narrative of Krishna, who is set to mesmerize the audience with his charm and valor. While most of the global releases (in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu) are in stereoscopic format, the film will also be released in 2D.
For this project, the team at Reliance Animation used Adobe Flash Professional and After Effects extensively, giving the age-old heritage of Indian story telling a digital avatar. In fact, the animation in the film has been done primarily using Adobe Flash software, crafting a magnum opus canvas to help viewers relive the time of Krishna. Additionally, the film has been specially made to support multiple contemporary platforms such as theatres, televisions, computers, tablet devices and mobile screens. The team also used Adobe Premiere Pro as one of the key software in their workflow for offline editing.
"It is indeed a proud moment for our team as we release this film in India. A lot of people have been pleasantly surprised when they hear the film is produced using Adobe tools like Flash, After Effects and Photoshop. For them it was impossible to believe that a full-length animation feature film of such international quality can be made on these tools. This film is a firm testament to the fact that Indian film makers and animators are capable of technical brilliance in film making and animation much touted in the west. Krishna aur Kans as an animated feature film assures ground-breaking quality and mastery of a gripping narrative," said Ashish S K, Executive Producer of the film and CEO, Reliance Animation.
Commenting on the release of this film Umang Bedi, Managing Director, South Asia, Adobe Systems said "The Indian media and entertainment industry is undergoing a transformation as viewers today demand higher-quality and engaging content. We have been working closely with the team at Reliance Animation on this release and are absolutely excited with the level of technical excellence the team has brought into this animated feature. This film is set to raise the benchmark for the Indian animation industry, which has seen a robust growth over last few years."
We have not only just used the application of adobe for this film,we have created more than 10ce of pluggins for flash, for eg:rendering hundreds of layers in a que without a mannal setting of guiding and rendering every particular layer which takes hours and hours because this film has contains lots of crowd shots in it.thanx to our flash pluggin developers to make such a wonderful tools.which helped a lot in this film to render multiples of layers in a single click.

Government mum on Shore Club amount | | Print | |
Written by Richard firstname.lastname@example.com | |||
Thursday, 21 July 2011 09:18 | |||
Despite requests from journalists and some members of the public, the interim government refuses to say how much was the "significant financial contribution" paid by the Shore Club developer to settle property questions that had held up the development. The Turks and Caicos Islands doesn't have a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), but even if it had the same law as the U.K., the government would not be required to disclose the amount, according to the Attorney General's Office. "Information is exempt information if its disclosure under this Act would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interest of any person, (including the public authority holding it)," says one section of the U.K.'s FOIA. Another part of the act says "information is exempt information if its disclosure under this Act would, or would be likely to prejudice (a) the economic interest of the United Kingdom or of any part of the United Kingdom, or (b) the financial interest of any administration in the United Kingdom." A Civil Recovery Team of lawyers was hired by the interim government in part to investigate Crown land transactions and to recover land and money due the government, including arrears and underpayments of various types. In relation to the Shore Club, the team has filed two civil actions against people who got inexpensive Crown land under the pretense of building homes, then flipped the property to developer Stan Hartling for millions of dollars. Hartling has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Clyde Robinson is accused of getting a piece of Crown land in March 2007 for $70,000 and with the aid of his wife selling it for $1.5 million while he was the country's planning director. Richardson Arthur is accused of getting title to Crown land in January 2008 for $50,000 and flipping it two months later for $1.35 million. Those cases are pending. In March, team lead lawyer Laurence Harris said more than $3 million had been recovered in confidential settlements, and that another several million was expected in more than 50 pending cases. Harris would not reveal information about the cases that have been settled without court action, saying that maintaining confidentiality can encourage people and businesses to settle out of court, saving time and money. Even when court actions are involved, out-of-court settlements can be confidential and amounts paid are not revealed. The U.K.'s FOIA has only been in full effect since 2005, while those laws in the United States have been in effect for nearly 50 years. Even though U.S. laws are much more open, most of those wouldn't require disclosure in a case like that of the Shore Club. The TCI has never had an FOIA, but the 2002 Constitutional Commission recommended one, and both political parties renewed that call in September in their All-Party Commission report on the Constitution and election reform. The new Constitution requires that government enact an FOIA, but that is not one of the milestones set by the U.K. for the return of elected government to the TCI. The interim government has been accused of not being transparent enough for some, but it remains to be seen if the interim government will consider enacting an FOIA or leave that work to the next elected government.

Columbia black-tail deer
This is the largest land mammal in the San Juans, and native to the islands. Note their large, sensitive ears and tails—black on top and white underneath. They can be spotted almost anywhere in the park and on roadsides (and in local gardens). Be careful as you round the curves; if one crosses the road, one or two may follow. |
Did You Know?
Many of San Juan Island's roads trace sheep runs cut by Hudson's Bay Company workers. They were led, in part, by Fort Victoria Chief Factor and colonial Gov. James Douglas, from 1853 to 1859. Many of the workers were Cowichan Indians from Vancouver Island.

Change in higher ed is inevitable; we must be prepared for it
A message from Robert L. Head, Ph.D., President
Dear students, faculty and staff:
The Northern Illinois Center for Nonprofit Excellence (NICNE) held its annual Nonprofit Dialog last Friday with 55 participants from nearly as many organizations. The arts, human services and education institutions were among several categories of nonprofits represented. I congratulate Pam Clark-Reidenbach on organizing a great program. The Dialog explored three themes: issues currently impacting nonprofits; emerging themes; and ideas on future programming to allow NICNE to better serve nonprofits. The active engagement of the participants made my job as facilitator easy. The event could easily have used twice as much time as allocated.
While it was clear that nearly all of the participants were pleased with the event, one attendee expressed strong concern with the current direction of nonprofits. His view was that nonprofits, regardless of mission, must change and behave as a business. Specifically, he encouraged the leaders present to consider adding entrepreneurial ventures to enhance their revenue streams and to only focus on services that realized a clear and positive return on investment.
This call for change within nonprofits is not a new concept and it is clearly not new for higher education. The most recent call for substantial change was incorporated in a recent Newsweek magazine article authored by Lamar Alexander. Mr. Alexander believes that higher education could be in for the same fate as the American automotive industry. He describes American car manufacturers as being unresponsive to the changing environment until they were destroyed by competitive and economic forces.
Mr. Alexander currently serves as a U.S. Senator; is a former president of the University of Tennessee; and also served as U.S. Secretary of Education. As you can imagine, his background provides a strong platform for his expressed opinion. The example of change that Sen. Alexander holds up in the article as exemplary is a new three year degree program offered by Hartwick College, a small liberal arts institution in New York. The college provides a curriculum which can be navigated in six semesters by "high-ability, highly motivated students." The significant benefit is the financial savings of a fourth year, which in Hartwick's case is $43,000.
I have said on several occasions that we in higher education can often be too insolent and insular. In this case, not many disagree with Sen. Alexander's assessment. Nevertheless, there are concerns with the simplistic idea of shortening the traditional timeline for the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Some have responded that a three-year structure would limit the courses and experiences provided to a student and thus, limit the ability to create a well-rounded graduate. A strong general education curriculum, internships, study abroad opportunities and extra-curricular experiences would likely all be in jeopardy under such a structure.
Regardless as to our individual thoughts on the Hartwick experiment, it may gain traction as the idea is nationally debated and the new economic reality of the past 20 months continues to grip the world. One thing that is certain is that the ground is shifting beneath us in higher education and, like it or not, change is inevitable. Our very difficult task is to lead the change that we desire. To a great degree, the planning process that we have identified gets us to the point of confirming a collective vision in the next couple of months. I look forward to the discussions.
Have a great week!

Memory (and power supply) specialist Corsair is dressing up a new 4-module DDR2-800 kit, consisting of four 4 GB modules (16 GB in all). Carrying the model number QUAD2X16GB-6400, this kit uses a new heatspreader design Corsair has been using lately. The modules are screened for high-reliability. At 800 MHz, this kit may seem like a late-Kate into the market, but might use its module density as a selling-point. Corsair seeks an estimated 83,000 Yen (US $867?) for this kit. We admit, the price looks on the higher side, but are awaiting clarity on May 16, when the company officially announces it. Source: Kakaku.com
A lot of people still running DRR2 that are going to want to upgrade, but I doubt for $800... Though the people who will actually see a benefit from that much RAM are probably used to it by now.
Yea that is not going to be use alot for a home PC... that amount of RAM is useless for normal purposes
Newegg had them in stock earlier this week. Save 228 by shopping at Newegg! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145243 Too bad no one has 2x4 setups yet. That would be the sweet way to go. 8gb too much for playing games? Who cares, I've got 2 sticks for 8gb!
too bad its not 2 x 8gb sticks, it would have wonderful if it was and as stated in my board's specs by ECS I can load up freaking 32GB ram and a Phenom II @ 3 ghz and run a whole company's servers lol. crap with I7, more mem = more virtual servers I will never run out of memory on my box
looks interesting. i saw these listed on newegg for like $640ish (i forgot but it's listed there...yet it's on auto-notify).
id love to have that kit in all honesty it would make Zbrush work and Maya run a HELL of a lot better haha
hmm, good ram kit high capacity but price is also high.. for that amount of money ($800) i could get a better upgrade rather than this.
I swear the image looks almost paint brushed, its too clear and flat to be a photo amirite? oh and, Holy smokes! 16GB I just wet myself a little
Could well be a company photoshopping or CAD drawing of the RAM. I do admit though it doesn't look like a very good label.
You all need to stop looking at the newegg site! The price has already gone up 60 bucks since I posted it earlier.
