Jun 19, 201310One of the best games ever made for the PS3. Beautiful, fun, characters are great, open world, great story. So much better than GTA IV (thought GTA IV characters and stories were lacking). But in short, this is a must have for any person that owns a PS3.
Jun 17, 201310I can't believe that this game has a lower score than GTA4.It is clearly the better game.Interesting side missions,fun characters, yup this is for me the best game for this generation.
Jun 14, 201310RDR is likely my favorite game of all time. I've been playing games since 1975 and I've seen a lot.
The atmosphere, music, dialogues, characters... everything is done in a way where the game is very
immersive. I remember looking forward to play the game after work just to escape and relax. A true MASTERPIECE. Likely the only game I will give a 10. -

Jun 1, 20139I have never played a better western game. How they got all the elements right is beyond me. The horse riding, gunplay, environment and game mechanics deliver a truly western gaming legend. Absolute proof that Rockstar has what it takes to make the next GTA and RDR as good as we want it to be and much more.

May 3, 201310If I had to describe Red Dead Redemption in one word, it would be Masterpiece. I'll keep this short, my favourite game with amazing story, graphics, gameplay, side missions, hell everything!

Apr 23, 201310This is the best game I have ever played. It is much better than GTA IV. The story line is great, characters are awesome and the missions are really cool. This game also has amazing graphics.

Mar 25, 201310One of the best environments I've ever seen in a video game. It makes you feel like you're in the wild west. Rockstar always has really great voice acting and storytelling. This game may be their best.
Mar 16, 201310This fantastic game with deep storyline played more with my emotions that any other game I remember. It's masterpiece with great graphics, very good control mechanics and absolutely brilliant game-play and story. It's not just GTA in Wild West. It's living world you will be sucked into.
Mar 15, 20137
Mar 12, 201310If you want open world game with great western adventures, cool multiplayer, great graphics and .e.t.c. Then you should get this amazing game without no doubt!
Mar 7, 201310I feel complete playing this game. That's something I've never said before for a game, and something that probably won't be said again in a long time (until Bioshock Infinite maybe) but seriously, this game will change your life. For better.
Mar 6, 201310It`s the best game I`ve ever played, in decades of gaming. What can I say about the immersive plot, the enormous open map, the beautiful soundtrack, the perfect gameplay. And the ending just makes you want to cry. You can almost feel everything John Marston feels, it simply feels like a movie that you can control. Legen, wait for it, dary!
Feb 26, 201310Amazing game, wonderful, love the theme, the genre, the music, graphics etc. GTA in the wild west. If for whatever reason you don't have this game, and are looking for something to do on the PS3, get it now!

Feb 20, 20139There is nothing more i can expect from a game...
I was extremely happy to play RDR,now dat i have completed it, I don't know what to do..Eagerly waiting for the Sequel or prequel...
I recommend this game to everybody on this planet... -
Feb 19, 201310An absolute masterpiece by Rockstar Games, you get real-life early 20th century American and wild west features, along with a suspenseful plot, and amazing gameplay, totally worth the 60 bucks!
Feb 16, 20139
Feb 11, 201310The best game EVER! fantastic game! i don't have words to express the happiness playing this AWESOME game... the best end... the best story... perfect!
Feb 11, 201310This is one of those rare games that you are really vexed when you have completed it. Wonderful story, characters and phenomenal landscape made for my favourite ever gaming experience. I return to it fairly often for the hunting trails alone. Multiplayer was also enjoyable. Belly laughs throughout. Look forward to a follow-up.........how about "Red Dead or Alive".
Feb 3, 201310One of the best games off all time. Awesome history graphics gameplay and the zombie DLC on the Old West revilocionate the gaming industry! the multiplayer is a bit fuzzy but its still very good
Jan 28, 201310
Jan 22, 201310First of all Rockstar finally made a better game than Grand Theft Auto since i was addicted GTA. But this really standed out in the Hall of Fame. The best Rockstar game since Grand Theft Auto IV.
Jan 18, 201310If you hate this game you're not a gamer, simple as that. No, I'm not a Rockstar fanboy but it's really so goddamn obvious that Red Dead Redemption is the best game this gen, by far and that is a fact.
Jan 17, 20136I've said it before in my reviews and will say it again, a small lively open world is better than a massive empty one. Red Dead has a ok story with one fudging too big world. Its gameplay though is solid as a brick wall. I just wish, as with many games I have, it wasn't given as much praise. Why? I expected too much.

Jan 9, 201310this game is so good it really makes u think u r JOHN marston great graphics a rather dark game at times during that time a certain women gets gang raped but it shows how life was back then and the game is just so WOW
Jan 6, 201310This is one of the best games I have ever played. There are a few visual hiccups here and there, but that, for me, was easy to overlook when the gameplay is so solid, the landscape is so beautiful, and the story is that good. I'm not much of an "online multiplayer" guy, but even that was pretty fun. Seriously, play this game!
Jan 5, 201310PERFECT history
PERFECT gameplay
PERFECT (the best i ever **** seen) shooting mode
PERFECT graphics (it's 2013 and they still surprise me)
PERFECT scenarios
PERFECT ambientation of west
Jan 3, 20139LOL, I can not believe that anyone would give this game a bad review.. Its about near perfect unless you have a strong hatred for fun and riding horses.
Dec 30, 201210Very nice game! Like a GTA western :) Open world, nic graphics, epic missions, great story and more... If you have Playstation 3 you must buy this great game!
Dec 29, 20128Just when I thought that Rockstar Games couldn't create anything other than overhyped crap, I was proven wrong with this game. And I must tell you, it never felt so good to be wrong.
Dec 28, 201210
Dec 24, 20129Red Dead Redemption is one of the best western based games of all time. The scenery is stunning and the story sucks you right in straight away. It has a gta feel but it feels more unique. Most of the time I get sidetracked by playing poker or blackjack and forget that I'm a cowboy. The joy you will get from this game is high and it is one of the best games I have ever played. I give it 9/10

Dec 3, 20125I guess I expected more from the game when I read all the reviews. But sadly I was not as satisfied as I was waiting to be. Become more of me trying hard to like a game which is not as polished as I would've liked it to be. Not the biggest fan by a long shot.
Dec 1, 20123What were you smoking when you thought this GTA Rip off is good? No Horse Drives like a car. The textures and glitches are horrible. Mediocre story. Go play Zelda Twilight Princess that way you get a third person with a good camera. If you like this game your a Kurt Russel fan.

Nov 15, 201210Ok, i was a Western movie lover i always used to watch Western movies and i loved Red Dead Revolver i have always loved Rockstar Games and Then.... Red Dead Redemption i pre-ordered the game because i liked the trailers and Gameplays so bad! and the game got me in love with it 89 hours of gameplay i loved it it's the best PS3,360 game i think i just have to say this...MASTERPIECE
Nov 14, 201210Must play. Must own. Must experience gem. Beautiful world and great music to reflect the atmosphere that is the wild west. Memorable protagonist and great campaign mode. GREAT game. Sega was my first game system and o how far we've come. RDR is a real treat. Bought the game for 20 bucks and worth every money and then some.

Nov 5, 201210With Batman AC and Uncharted 2, this game is in my top 3 of this generation. The map is very big, the history is very good, fun multiplayer, great climate, good gameplay. The graphics is not good as XBox 360 version, but i think its not a problem to have days of fun with this masterpiece.

Oct 14, 201210The best game i've ever played. The best story ever told in a video game, the environment of the wild west portrayed to perfection, an open world experience like no other and John Marston is one of the best characters ever made in a video game. The multiplayer is good but the controls could be better in my opinion, but who cares! The rest is absolutely perfect. 100%.
Oct 7, 20129Everything is just right: look, content, dialogue, music, humor, action - everywhere is only very, very little room for improvement. With every step on the dusty ground it seems as if Eastwood or Bronson felt his side. Never before has the flair of hard spaghetti western was so perfect in a game over
Oct 4, 201210Red Dead Redemption is Rockstar's greatest achievement. No open world game matches the epic scale, storytelling, and environments packed into the game. This is the best Western to grace a gaming system and is certainly worth your time. There is much bang for your buck here.
Sep 26, 20128This game makes the Wild West become a reality. A classic masterpiece.

Aug 19, 201210Probably one of my favorite games of all time!! This is truly an amazing adventure. The plot is compelling and unforgettable, the combat is fun, the land is vast and gorgeous, and the music perfectly fits the atmosphere of the game. Other than a few glitch moments here and there, this is one of the best games of this generation!!
Aug 9, 201210
Aug 8, 201210Now this is a true masterpiece by Rockstar. This is the best game of its year, and people are gonna remember this game for decades. Where else you can relive the Wild West?
Red Dead Redemption has everything a gamer can ask: story, graphics, gameplay, sound and it never grow old. -

Jul 21, 201210An amazing setting, Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games that I have played. Fantastic graphics, awesome gameplay and realistic sound effects. This game has everything and with over 30 hours of game time, this is a game which is well worth your money. Thought towards the end, riding on a horse was becoming slightly tiresome but that was only because of the huge sandbox map.
Jun 25, 20128
Jun 15, 201210Turned off by the whole western theme, I was reluctant to pick this game up. Now I admit that this is by far one of the best games I have played in decades. Solid game play, but the story and well developed characters make this one of the best. The writing and voice acting would put most highly acclaimed movies to shame. Play it through to the end and the ending will blow you away.

May 25, 20128Story fades off to tedium in many parts of the game, but it's certainly worth a playthrough nevertheless (took me 3 goes to get up and running with game though)
May 22, 20129
May 18, 201210this game was a masterpiece. from beginning to end, I loved every second of it. I loved that you actually had to hunt, the characters, the story line, side missions, everything basically. I feel this game is a must buy, because it is so diverse and entertaining. I want RDR 2!
May 14, 20128
May 8, 20126I will admit the game had its appealing moments the first time I played it.. But all it is, is Grand Theft Pony. Like all of rockstars games it's all the same as GTA with different themes.

The wild west has never been properly portrayed in another game, and RDR does a great job at doing so.
One of the best games this generation. -
Apr 6, 201210
Apr 4, 201210Never was a fan of GTA series but a big fan of Westerns. So I was intrigued at the concept of a sandbox game mixed with a Western background. The result was one of the best gaming experiences ever. The storyline is greatly influenced by classic Western movies like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Plus, the soundtrack is one of most memorable pieces of music I've had the pleasure of listening to.
Apr 4, 201210This game blows all the GTA games to water .The wild west version with an nice storyline amazing missons and has a lot to offer .the multiplayer is dissapointing but other than that it is a fanstastic game
Apr 2, 20129Recently, I'm playing the PS3 version for one of the best games from these generations and what I can say it's that, I didn't find any problem at all in the single-player (glitches , technical problems , or playability difficulties ) . In simple words, Red Dead Redemption is another master piece brought to you by the folks from Rockstar , without a doubt is a definitive tittle to your library.
Mar 11, 20127I expected this game to be much better. When I first played the game, i didnt like it at all, but now that i am giving it a second chance its actually a good game.Multiplayer is fun when you play with groups and most DLC are free.The campaign mode feels repetitive sometimes but gets better when you go further into the story.

Mar 10, 20122How did Rockstar manage to make GTA-Goes-West so boring, even frustrating at times? Clunky controls, game breaking clipping errors and a terribly executed cover-system. The dialog and exposition are not entertaining, insightful or the least bit interesting. RDR is my most disappointing gaming experience in the last 15 years.
Mar 2, 201210
Feb 29, 201210red dead redemption is easily one of the best games ever created. It's definitely in my personal top 5 games I've ever played: really good and immersive story, great controls, great graphics and environment and long singleplayer!
Feb 29, 201210
Feb 24, 201210Let me just say this: Red Dead Redemption is an AMAZING game! , i dont know why some people hate it, i honestly think its one of the best games this gen, I recommend everyone to buy it especially if you like open world/action games
Feb 24, 201210What a GREAT game! , i dont know why some people hate it, its an AMAZING game, I recommend everyone to buy it especially if you like open world/action games
Feb 19, 20126
Feb 12, 20129Fantastic game by Rockstar. The PS2 Red Dead Revolver I believe has a better story line than Red Dead Redemption. I enjoyed the weapons, enemies, and over all plot. I like the ending which had an excellent twist. I believe this is a solid title with plenty of extras that will keep you coming back for more.
Feb 8, 201210
Jan 7, 201210A true masterpiece. Everything from the story to the soundtrack is just incredible. There is so much content to indulge in and you can spend countless hours just exploring the beautiful landscapes. The multiplayer is a blast and is surprisingly deep. The gameplay is as smooth as ever and Rockstar's Engine truly shines. All of the downloadable content is great as well and shouldn't be missed.
The game perfectly captures the expansiveness of frontier life and the gritty gunplay of spaghetti westerns, rightfully earning its place alongside the great Western films and the best Rockstar games. [Issue#206, p.86]
80Rockstar's skill in creating a believable, functioning world with a distinct, coherent and consistent atmosphere is peerless. The broad-brush vision is masterful.
Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece. This game is the perfect example of how a developer should work to create the best atmosphere and to represent a beautiful historical situation. The graphics, the gameplay elements and everything else is at top level. Buy Red Dead Redemption, now!

Cape heavies to stop Bulls at source
8 Jun 2011
JON CARDINELLI speaks to Stormers forwards coach Matt Proudfoot about the crucial set-phase battle and why Victor Matfield will prove difficult to contain.
The Stormers have established themselves as the new bullies of the Super Rugby playground. Only three teams have stood up to them at the collisions in 2011, and in many ways the Reds, Crusaders and Chiefs have provided the blueprint on how to beat the Cape-based side.
While it should be another bloody affair at the tackle point this Saturday, Proudfoot is expecting the Bulls to target the Stormers' set-piece before striving for gain-line dominance. If the visitors succeed in compromising the Stormers at source, they will build momentum and eventually fracture that famed defence.
'There's no doubt in my mind that the set-phase battle will determine the outcome,' Proudfoot told keo.co.za. 'There's no getting around the fact that we have to confront them at the set-piece. We can't allow them to dominate these facets of play because once they build up a head of steam, they're extremely difficult to stop.
'The Bulls have a strong pack and kicking game, and we aren't expecting them to stray from their traditional strengths. What they do, they do well, and with their formidable lineout, they may attempt to maul us in an attempt to get on the front foot.'
The battle within a battle between Victor Matfield and Andries Bekker should be worth the price of admission. Both men are celebrated for their individual abilities as well as their impeccable lineout leadership.
Proudfoot admitted that only so much analysis could be done in preparation for a side containing Matfield, the Springboks most capped and decorated player. If Bekker and company don't anticipate Matfield's movements this Saturday and the Bulls manage to dominate this set-piece, the visitors will make inroads into the Stormers' defence.
'It's going to be very hard to put pressure on Victor at the lineout. He's just so good at absorbing pressure and I'm sure he'll have a few tricks up his sleeve,' Proudfoot said. 'When the Bulls establish set-piece dominance and start to maul successfully, then they usually build on that dominance by carrying the ball a lot more and challenging at the collisions.
'At the breakdown, the defending side will try to slow down opposition ball in order to give their team more opportunity to realign for the next phase. But whether we're on attack or defence, we have to put the Bulls under pressure at the set-piece to give ourselves the best chance of winning the collisions.'

U make Tactius look lethargic.
8 Jun 2011, 12:51 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-96: I think I am going to reply to all your Stegman post with " Jaa but Flo is prettier" LOL , on second though I have a life. Cheers Mrs Stegman
8 Jun 2011, 12:57 pmstormersboy:
Agile T*t-Tyrant:Haven't read through all the posts… so don't know if this has been mentioned.
Believe Agile is living up to his name and cherry-picking stats that favour his man…
The value of Louw is that he not only wins the ball on the ground… but he also carries it up strongly… something for which Steggman is not renowned.
Would be interesting to see the metres-gained stats for the two.
Point being… if you're going to compare players… compare them on their full contributions to the match.
And with that… have to get back to work…
8 Jun 2011, 12:59 pmWell, at least you didn't lie about not reading through all the posts.
8 Jun 2011, 13:00 pmThat's because your post wasn't worth responding to…
8 Jun 2011, 13:04 pmAg faark you fools.
Would rather have Tearaway Daniel any day over these chromosome lacking mongrel excuses for "Fetchers"…
Ratel is peerless…
Then Daniel the next best option…
8 Jun 2011, 13:10 pm@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-106:
A "mongrel" is somebody having a chromosome too many. Bring that mongrel Daniel to Loftus next week and let's see what happens.
8 Jun 2011, 13:14 pmSpot on, ufo.
Francois Louw: 83 carries, 433 metres gained
Deon Stegmann: 51 carries, 156 metres gainedFlo averages 6 carries and 31 metres gained per match; Steggies averages 3 carries and 11 metres per match.
8 Jun 2011, 13:19 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-107: You thinking "Mongol"? Wrong. That is not the same as mongrel. No stats to support that either… Sorrry for yoooou!
8 Jun 2011, 13:20 pm@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-108:
where did you get 51 carrier to Stegmann? It's 36 carries. -
8 Jun 2011, 13:20 pm@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-109:
pulling your leg from last time man.
8 Jun 2011, 13:23 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-110:
Verusco ruggastats.
8 Jun 2011, 13:25 pm@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-108: Would luv to see the stats for Daniel in terms of tackles made and completed, Turnovers gained and metres gained. I have a feeling that he will have outperformed the 2 you guys are referring to, just my impression.
8 Jun 2011, 13:26 pm@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-108:
it's 4.3 metres per carry to Stegmann and 5.3 to Louw. Louw carried 83 times to Stegmann's 36. But Stegmann breached the gainline at 78% to 62. That means Louw received much of his carries in space and got good yardage out of a few. For the most, being many more attepts, he was smashed before the gainline. Stegmann focusses more on the breakdown, but when he gets a carry he more readily busts through tackles and makes a few metres.
8 Jun 2011, 13:29 pm@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-112:
I know I'm using them too. Stegmann made 36 carries not 51 like you say.
Actuall not Bananaboy. He is worse off than Louw.
139 tackles + 31 assists. B/d 155+74 but remember he missed 2 games due to ban and came off the bench in 2 games. tackle success 92% -
8 Jun 2011, 13:33 pmAlthough metres per carry is 8.3. to Daniel and gainline at 72% is quite good considering where he plays. But if Stegmann did less work at the breakdown, he would probably make as many metres seeing as his gainline is 78%
(Remember it takes work to reach the breakdown and then the real work starts once you get there, and these flanks often arrive there but dont commit, so that is work as well, the stats as well consider only the first 3 to arrive, and players pile in beyond that, though not nearly is that often the case. Just saying.) -
8 Jun 2011, 13:37 pmAlso Piesangseun, Keegan Daniel has an unsightly 21 unforced and handling errors count to Stegmann's 4. That's a huge difference.
And people love to say Steggies costs the Bulls by conceding those few penalties. What about coughing up possession due to poor handling?? Or cocking up a building attack with poor handling and all the exhaustion that results from it to the team and the knock in spirit the other players take when seeing this happen on the field??
Keegan makes a handling error every 7 handle counts, Stegmann only every 25 Louw every 12. -
8 Jun 2011, 13:38 pmwhat a boring discussion.
everything that could be said had been said by post 12.
everything after that is simply "my province has a better player in his psition than your province" emotional bs when we all know the sharks have the second best option after brussow (keegan)
disclaimer: i reference the complete dominance of both the bulls and stormers backrows in last years cc as evidence to support my claim.
ho ho fecking ho.
8 Jun 2011, 13:40 pm@ufo(ufo)-103: I don't think the article started out as a dual between team flo and team stegmann. What I was saying is that they both have strengths which makes them suitable for a specific gameplan. A hybrid between the 2 would be a monstrous player.
While the stats shown here seem to disagree with AGT's theory, even stats in favour of stegmann might not give an indication of who the better player is. Given the combination of what's really available to the Boks ito players, I know who I'd choose.
8 Jun 2011, 13:43 pmI think taute could play 6 if he wanted to
8 Jun 2011, 13:44 pmWhy would you want a hybrid between Louw and Steggies? A ontrous player?? You will simply end up with a slower Stegmann that knocks more, misses more tackles and gets caught behind the gainline more. At least he will be 6 centimetres taller heh?
8 Jun 2011, 13:48 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-105: And yet you did respond , are you seeing the psychotic behavioral issues here as well ?
8 Jun 2011, 13:52 pmWell, as I said to "last movement", sorry boet.
But some people find it interesting. My life's work is boring, to me this topic isn't so far. And as long as I feel in the mood to respond to the uninformed opinions of most of the bloggers here.@sparticus(sparticus)-122:
I think the one "behavioral issue" here is that it took you more than two hours to get back to me on that and you still don't realize what I did there…. -
8 Jun 2011, 13:54 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-123:
maybe change your lifes work then buddy.
8 Jun 2011, 14:07 pmSteggies or Flo,
both a big no-no
…for the Boks, yoa. -
8 Jun 2011, 14:10 pmFINALLY! An intelligent and insightful response.
8 Jun 2011, 14:12 pmI'm outta here.
8 Jun 2011, 14:19 pmSteggman is no different to say: Warren Brosnihan & Wayne Fyvie.
Hard worker but ultimately will not get selected above more talented,bigger,stronger more efficient,less penalty-ridden incumbents.
Same with Dewalt Potgieter who is like a poor man version of Schalk Burger adn at times a diluted Rassie Erasmus.
And if people are going to quote how many supertitles they won etc please note: Reuben Thorne, Sam Broomhall, Mose Tuia'li'i, Justin Collins, Dylan Mika, Andrew Blowers, Todd Blackadder(as a blindside) etc won multiple championship in Superrugby but that didnt make them great test loosies.
8 Jun 2011, 14:24 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-127: cheers man, good luck to your team and steggies on sat.
8 Jun 2011, 14:26 pm@nama1(nama1)-125:
If Brussow is injured, you need Steggie: speed at the first phase of the break down by a little man is a must in today's Test, like it or not
It means among other that you can't play Spies or Kankowsky in the same combo with Brussow/Steggie, nontheless I am sure you penciled in already that tackles faker Johnson instead? -
8 Jun 2011, 14:33 pm@sparticus(sparticus)-99: Adi Jacobs (12, 14, 13), Jantjes, Rose (10 & 15), Newman, Odwa, Nokwe, Britz, Grant, Olivier, Bekker (pap in every test), Watson, Mujati, Reubenheimer, Johnson (Pap in 09), Carstens, Bobo, Januarie, Chavangha, Conradie, Kankowski (6, 7, 8), Butch James (12), Frans (15 & 13), Pienaar (10 and 15), Rossouw (6), Smit (1 and 3), Morne (15), Chiliboy, Adams, Maku, Jean (14), Hargreaves, Hargreaves, Deysel (utterly destroyed up North), van der Merwe (big disappointment, utterly destroyed), Louw (humiliated consecutively throughout the TNs, did well against Italy in 2nd test though, after an embarrassing first test), Basson (Did not adapt to test level at all)… I could probably find some more. In every poor selection de Villiers has ever made, he has a better option available. That's the biggest gripe, he can not moan about not having better players available at those times. Instead it has nearly always been stubborn idiocy.
8 Jun 2011, 14:33 pm"Hard worker but ultimately will not get selected above more talented,bigger,stronger more efficient,less penalty-ridden incumbents"
Saying they're stronger, is opinion. Saying they're bigger is fact (Louw and Burger). Saying they're more talented and efficient is debatable. Saying that he is penalty-ridden- idiotic.
At least we've been debating all along. You haven't brought anything to the discussion.
And you can't say he won't be selected above these, because he already has been selected above Flo and Daniel and every other loosie in the position when Burger and Brussow weren't available. But most here prefer Brussow above Burger anyway, and Stegmann is a Brussow "clone" to many here, and IMO better than Brussow anyway, and certainly better than Brussow now, and will remain so till Brussow can demonstrate otherwise.
Thanks, I think. And cheers for real. -
8 Jun 2011, 14:34 pmThey are not little, they're short.
8 Jun 2011, 14:37 pm@Hondo(Hondo)-130:
The "debate" was about an opensider. Ashley plays blindside/8th man.You don't know that?
8 Jun 2011, 14:38 pm@Hondo(Hondo)-130: in order of preferance:
at 6
Keeganat 7
Potgieterat 8
Kanko -
8 Jun 2011, 15:04 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-132: Brussow has put up the best performances of any opensider in SA this year. Nobody in SA is even slightly in his class. I say this as I Bull supporter, I backed Stegmmann big time last year, but he failed. As for Schalk, watching him get swatted around like a fly is disheartening. Not the defender he used to be, not by a long shot. His work rate at test level post-2007 has been questionable as well. There is no longer a place in the team for him. I'll have Stegmann under Brussow though. That's our best option.
8 Jun 2011, 15:33 pm@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-108: where'd u get the metres gained stats?
8 Jun 2011, 16:08 pmVictor Matfield is Bekker's *** slave!
8 Jun 2011, 16:32 pmja,ja Mr. Herman.
8 Jun 2011, 16:37 pmMatfield is past it – has been for a while – some people just don't know when to stop! He's as valuable as a used sanitary towel!
8 Jun 2011, 16:42 pmWell, it depends on your point of view:
If you are marooned in the wilderness, your MOST VALUABLE ASSEST might be an old used sanitary towel. They are excellent at getting a fire started……
8 Jun 2011, 19:53 pm@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-111: Yeah I know. But I was being 100% seriaas. (okay maybe only 98%)

Me stuck beating elite4 need help
Uh... I can't really read the rest of that Scribble, But I can tell you where to Train for The Elite Four!
The best places to Train are in Victory Road And Route 10
For the Elite Four Rematch, I would Say to Fight Cynthia and Morimoto, and Maybe train on some of the Wild Giant Chasm Pokemon.
Also, Now reading that " Scribble " We aren't allowed to " Make " a Team for you, Although if You post your whole team in a different question, with Moves,Pokemon,Natures and Stats/Ev's then we Can Tell you ways to make your team better, Good luck with the Elite Four :D
Well, as for a team youre going to have to do that. And the best place to train for the elite four is victory road.
Use a bug type,flying type,psychic type,fighting type,ghost type,and dark type.
Victory road is a good place to train if your battling them for the first time. Try route 18 if you want to though.
If you're trying to beat them for the first time then try looking for shaking grass on route 10 and kill some audino. Victory road is good too, but unless you have a fire pokemon the durant can get very annoying.

Detroit band The Electric Six hit the road, make live DVD
For the masses who have seen Detroit dance rockers Electric Six play live, you might hear fans say "freakin' awesome," "crazy good," "What did I just see?" or "nuts, man … nuts" about their shows.
But vocalist Dick Valentine has a different reason to see the band.
"With the live show, you get to see my drummer as opposed to feeling him," he says of drummer Percussion World. "He looks great!" And come Valentine's Day, the whole western half of the U.S. will be able to gawk and feel the drums as they hit the road.
The Electric Six will perform Feb 14 at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor. Visit the Electric Six website at electricsix.com for more information on the Kickstarter campaign to be announced on Feb. 15.
This tour isn't just for these lucky crowds who can experience the guys bust it live. The tour kicks off a crowd-sourcing drive to raise funds for "Absolute Treasure," the band's very first live DVD to be released in 2014. "Previously, I said I'd only do a Kickstarter campaign to have me surgically altered to look like Amanda Palmer, but this live DVD seems like a good idea as well," Valentine explains. "We want professional camerawork and editing, so we need some financing. In order to get this financing, we are offering up 10 years of E6 memorabilia ... and it turns out there's a whole lot of it ready to be auctioned off. We're excited about auctioning some of it off."
Electric Six is Dick Valentine (vocals), Da Ve (guitar), Johnny Na$hinal (guitar), Smorgasbord (bass), Tait Nucleus? (synths) and Percussion World (drums).
To make it a truly rewarding experience for supporters, Electric Six is offering a host of packages at various pricing levels. Probably the most exciting of these is the Extras DVD, which will feature the deepest interview ever done with the band. It will also include all kinds of behind-the-scenes high jinks and maybe even some special short films as well (what it won't include is any of the band's videos, so don't bother asking). The Extras disc package also comes with a photo booklet, filled with rare shots of E6 memorabilia, candid photos of the band, etc. From signed stage-worn clothing to an executive producer credit in the DVD packaging along with an on-stage acknowledgement at a show.
To be filmed on Sept. 7, 2013, in the band's hometown of Detroit, at the legendary St. Andrew's Hall, the footage will shot by The Work, capturing the band in their element, at home, in front of what is consistently one of the best crowds they've seen anywhere in the world, in HD and available in both DVD and Blu-ray formats, in all regions.
"In Detroit when you are watching a show you get to feel the knives," Valentine said. Continued...
A companion piece of sorts to their recently released live disc "Absolute Pleasure," the live component will enable couch-ridden fans to witness the madness of the massive crush of an undulating and exuberant crowd, the off-key scream/singalong of "Girl, I'm gonna take you to a gay bar, gay bar, gay bar," and the visceral feeling of getting power-drenched by Dick's sweat.
So for the lucky Western half of the U.S. this spring, Electric Six will be swinging through with their fearsome catalog of material, including "Gay Bar," "Danger! High Voltage," "Down At McDonnelzz," "She's White," "Jam It In The Hole" and so much more.
And for the rest of the world — the promise of a live DVD in the near future.

Chronic Progressive Weight Loss in a West Highland White Terrier
by Bruce Ferguson
A 12 month old male neutered West Highland White Terrier named Riley presented to myself for chronic, progressive, unexplained weight loss of 4 months duration. West Highland White Terriers originate from the Western Highlands of Scotland and they are usually feisty dogs from 15-18 pounds of body weight. Upon presentation Riley was subdued and an emaciated-looking 8.5 pounds. To understand his body condition, try to imagine yourself at 1/3 to ½ your normal adult body weight!

Now, I'm never one to complain about the heat. I'd love it to be summer all year around. I don't care about the seasons. I don't want crisp frosty mornings, and I'll be a happy camper if I never see snow in real life ever again.
Having said that, I don't like stuffy. Somehow the heat at the beach or even in main street in the middle of August is better than a hot house.
A hot house? Yes, you know, when it's not really that hot outside but indoors it's really sticky.
The condo here is the pits for that. It's two levels, and while downstairs is usually fine, and can even be fairly cool in the summer, upstairs is a different story. Recently, we've had the regime fees hiked up to an outrageous amount to pay for much needed and long neglected repairs and maintenance.
We've got a new roof, which has ridge vent tiles. It's not made one iota of difference to the temperature upstairs. Right now, I have the sun room door open, and the front bedroom windows. There's no real breeze though. It's only 68F outside, but it's 82 in here at this desk. According to my little gizmo on the desk here, the humidity is only 58% too.
Well, the strange thing is, it's been around that most of the day, but now, around bedtime, it feels really warm and sticky in here. OK, I hear you say, what's wrong with running the air conditioning?
It uses too much electricity.
No, I'm not a tree hugger. I'm a dollar hugger. The electricity bills hover around the $100 a month mark at this time of year, but once that a/c kicks in, I know it's going to be on until well into the fall, and that monthly bill creeps nearer to $250 then. Working mostly from home doesn't help, as I can't turn it off in mid-summer, but then again, with the gas prices heading up and up, I'm saving more on gas than I'm spending on the electricity.
I guess I should look for a job within walking distance, then I'd save gas and electricity. Thing is, there doesn't seem to be many IT companies within this immediate neighborhood, and anyway, I generally like my independence.
Still, it's time to quit computers altogether for a few hours, and go take up that horizontal book reading position for a while.
I'm still looking forward to summer.

Campfire Stout by High Water Brewing at Beer Revolution
The novelty of this brew will never fade in our minds. Made with actual graham cracker, notes of marshmallow, and chocolate, this stout is definitely reminiscent of summertime's classic snack, the s'more. It's for the adventurous beer drinker who enjoys a fun mug that is anything but blasé. One sip and we were instantly catapulted back to the warm-weather memories of crowding around a campfire … and getting tipsy (naturally). It's beyond tasty, we've found a fave!

Terminating fiber cable used to be a job for experts only. But today, prepolished connectors make it possible for anyone to terminate multimode fiber—all you need is a bit of... more/see it nowpatience and the right tools. Here's how to terminate fiber with ST connectors: Step 1 — Slide the connector strain-relief boot, small end first, onto the cable. Step 2 — Using a template, mark the jacket dimensions to be stripped (40 mm and 52 mm from the end). Step 3 — Remove the outer jacket from the cable end to the 40 mm mark. Cut the exposed Kevlar. Carefully remove the jacket to the 52-mm mark, exposing the remaining length of Kevlar. Step 4 — Fan out the Kevlar fibers and slide the crimp ring of the connector approximately 5 mm over the fibers to hold them out of the way. Mark the fiber buffer 11 mm from the end of the cable jacket. Also, mark the buffer where it meets the jacket. Step 5 — Bit by bit, strip off the buffering until you reach the 11-mm mark. Check the mark you made on the buffer at the jacket. If it's moved, carefully work the buffer back into the jacket to its original position. Step 6 — Clean the glass fiber with an alcohol wipe. Cleave the fiber to an 8-mm length. Step 7 — Carefully insert the fiber into the connector until you feel it bottom out and a bow forms between the connector and the clamp. Cam the connector with the appropriate tool. Step 8 — Crimp the connector. Step 9 — Slide the crimp ring up the jacket away from the connector, releasing the Kevlar fibers. Fan the fiber so they encircle the buffer. The ends of the fibers should just touch the rear of the connector—if they're too long, trim them now. Step 10 — Crimp the connector again. Step 11 — Slide the strain-relief boot over the rear of the connector. You might want to put a bead of 411 Loctite adhesive for extra strength on the rear of the boot where it meets the jacket. Although the details may vary slightly with different connectors and termination kits, the basic termination procedure is the same. collapse

The Bornhoft Group Multi-Manager Program has nearly three decades of track record based on deep knowledge and expertise in managed futures
By Claire Makin
Richard Bornhoft, the firm's president and chief investment officer, had been a commodity trading adviser (CTA) since 1979, and recognised the lack of correlation among CTAs because of their different trading approaches. "By combining CTAs we could capitalise on one of the greatest attributes of managed futures – its diversity," he says.
Bornhoft's Multi-Manager Program employs 15 or so CTAs who follow different strategies and methodologies to trade global interest rates, stock indices, currencies,...

I've been hearing this term quite often, and l wanted to know why Snivy is sometimes called "Smugleaf".
From bulbapedia
Shortly after its release, much like many other Generation V Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on video gaming-focused blog Kotaku and later in an issue of Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand, as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.
This is how it became popular. The name likely came from its smug look, and the fact that it is a Grass type.
Smugleaf is the fan made name given to Snivy before its Japanese name was revealed by Kotaku.
"Due to his half-closed eyes and apparent smirk, the green starter is quickly becoming known as "Smugleaf" or "Grinleaf" by English-speaking fans."Smugleaf is the new trollface!" is a new rallying cry, referencing the face a person might put on while trolling on a forum. And looking at that new Pokémon's self-contented grin, it isn't hard to see the appeal."

Linux security in the cloud
Cloud Concerns
Although you give up control of the underlying infrastructure when you use cloud computing, you can still maintain some control over security.
Love it or hate it, the cloud is here to stay (a safe bet given that COBOL and Fortran applications are still around 50 years later). The good news is that Linux is uniquely suited for cloud computing for both providers and users for a number of reasons.

"Even if the conflict comes to a swift end, Syria will emerge in ruins -- its social and civic fabric in shreds, its economy and infrastructure devastated and its population scattered throughout the country and region, potentially unable for months if not years to return to their shattered communities and resume normal life," the ICR warned in its report on Syrian refugees last week.
The group called for a "massive increase in humanitarian assistance" to avoid a catastrophe.
U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos also called on donors to help, saying she hoped a January 30 conference in Kuwait would yield some of the $1.5 billion in aid requested by humanitarian groups. That money would help Syrians displaced within their own country and those who have fled to neighboring nations for six months, she said.
"If we do not receive these funds, we will not be able to reach the poorest and most vulnerable families who so desperately need our help," she said.
"Donors need to step up, recognize the severity of the humanitarian crisis in and around Syria and face the virtual inevitability that this is going to get much worse and last much longer than initially anticipated," John Holmes, the co-chairman of the IRC's UK board of directors, said last week.
In Zaatari, in Jordan's northern desert, about 60,000 people have sought refuge from the violence raging in their country.
Nearly 3,000 people arrived Wednesday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said.
That brings the total number of refugees arriving in Jordan so far this month to 26,500 -- up 60% from December. And there's still another week's worth of refugees to come, said Aoife McDonnell, a Jordan-based spokeswoman for the UNHCR.
Many of the refugees had to abandon their belongings on the trip across the border, in some cases to be able to carry their children through muddy, freezing conditions.
"They're often arriving freezing, their clothes are wet," she said.

I have been a Fuddruckers advocate for years and years. I make a point to visit at least two to three times a year, it's a special treat for me. I have to make a special effort to get to a Fuddruckers since there aren't as many of them as their used to be, and it's about a 45 minute drive to the one close by me. On Nov 11th, I took a friend to our local Fuddruckers here in Oregon. It was a special day for me and I wanted a treat that night. My dinner purchase, for myself and my friend, was nearly 30 dollars (27 and some change, I believe). That doesn't bother me, as I know to expect it when I go there. The wait time for our dinner was somewhere in the 20-30 minute range. That also doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that, when I ordered, the extremely charming (not) girl at the counter had absolutely ZERO interest in anything I had to say to her (such as, what I would like for dinner and any special requests). We had to tell her four different times that we wanted fries. My friend had to tell her what kind of burger he wanted twice. We both asked for medium rare, both times she repeated back "medium well". We had to order our shake twice. The order wasn't complex. One wild boar burger in a meal with a shake, and one 1/2 pound bacon/blue burger with no onions in a meal. Pretty simple. I guess that, with all the other mistakes she made during the course of the order, plenty of fault lies on my own shoulders. Foolishly I thought that by asking for "No onions" that my burger would come without onions. It did not. It was heaped and piled high with them when I finally went up to pick it up. Now, unfortunately I am allergic to onions, this wasn't just a random request. Also, considering the long wait time (it was, after all, 7pm) I was not going to wait for another burger to be made. Luckily, cooked onions only make me slightly ill, so it wasn't like I was threatened with death, but at the same time, I did NOT get what I ordered. I'm used to places not holding the onions ... when I'm paying $5 at a fast food chain. But when I'm paying 30 dollars for dinner, I expect that my order will be correct. For crying out loud, train your employees. Give them some customer service and active listening skills! I have never had an experience like that at Fuddruckers. I'm mortified that I had to introduce someone to your restaurant and that they were witness to such a horrible interaction.
Completely valid complaint. When employees don't listen and screw things up, I admit I get alittle testy (although I hide it from the outside as these people aretouching my food...but on the inside, I boil a bit). I had a similar problem to yours - except at Chili's. The first three times I placed a take-out order for a plain hamburgerwith fries, I showed up and received hamburgers with lettuce, mustard,tomato, mayo, etc. on them. I agree with you 100% that I do NOT expect this sort of screw-up froma sit-down restaurant. Wendy's or Burger King is one thing...but this sort of stuff shouldNEVER happen at Chili's or any other sit-down restaurant. I worked as a server for over 8 years at four different restaurantsand I never once got a customer's order wrong. It's really not hard to get orders right the first time - if youaren't sure what the customer said, just say: "I'm sorry. All the noise in here from the other customers andemployees made me unsure of what you just ordered. Could you pleaserepeat your order so I can be sure I got it correctly?" Not only will this query ensure you get the order right...it alsocreates a connection with your customers. You've shown you areconcerned about them getting their orders right...and you've alsoimplied to them that you think they are somewhat more quiet and civilthan the other patrons. Just be sure your other customers don't hear you blame the noise onthem and your coworkers! But playing one table off against the restcan lead to a better tip. Here's another tip: Pick an order each and every night that you willput down. Then, whenever a customer orders it, say something like: "O.k. but I feel I should inform you that that item isn't doing verywell tonight. I've had some customers order it and send it back oncethey received it. I think the cook working on that item isn't doingthe best job tonight. Might I suggest something else that is beingmade extremely well tonight?" Then, suggest something else. If you're feeling bold, suggest one ofthe pricier items from the menu as most people base their tips off thetotal bill. >:) Since you've went to bat for the customer (not really, but they THINKyou have), they will often leave you a higher tip than usual since youwere "looking out for them".
And I thought Ostrich was exotic! I gotta go find the nearestFuddruckers. The one in my area closed about 7 years ago.
I would think that would be the "active" part of active listening? I've had people snap at me too because I've repeated what they said.But you know, the one time I don't, I get snapped at for doing itwrong. Medium rare could sound like medium well if someone wasn't speakingup, or the room was loud, or the server had a hearing problem. I don't see why it's a big deal that the server repeated it and youhad to tell her again. I'd rather she confirmed it.
To medium rare doneness? Due to all the e coli., etc. many placeswill only cook to medium well/well done. Saves them a potentiallawsuit if they don't service arguably semi-raw hamburgers. FWIW, I like it when people recite back to me what I ordered....
i hate when that happens. had it happen on my first ship in the chow line cos i had a cold...and when i raised my voice to say "NO *whatever item*" they put evenMORE of it on. I think one of the other guys serving the foodrealized what i'd said and told the other guy. (another time, sameserver actually... i actually got rude with him but i was tired. heput the wrong food on my plate so i handed the plate back and said"now can i have what i asked for?") i'd say... although it was late, it would have been good to talk tothe manager and tell them exactly what happened. especially sinceyour system doesn't take onions well. besides who wants to buy food when they can't actually listen to yourorder. now confirming an order i don't mind, but when they ignore it and putsomething else on the plate... that annoys me. especially when the"something else" is specifically something you said you didn't want
Our nearest Fuddruckers has been pretty noisy in the ordering area. Music, a line of customers inching toward the cashier while discussingthe menu, a $20 "Feed a Family of 4" deal with the requisite kids. Add to that the high counters between customer and order-taker, andthere's a recipe for ordering disasters. (I'm short, and I have totiptoe to make sure my mouth is above the counter, so that I'm notspeaking into the counter.) The customer has to speak loud and clear,and hope the cashier can hear or read lips. She may have had*listening* skills, but couldn't *hear*. I wouldn't have waited 30 minutes for the food, no matter how busy theplace was.
Definitely fair complaint. I would have given them the burger withonions back to them and ask them to remake it. And then I would havespoken to a manager.... They only way that people are really going tochange is if they know something is wrong so on-the-ground feedback isimportant.
Be careful with that sensitivity. It could blow up and become a realthreatning allergy. Speaking from experience here. If your bodydoesn't like it-don't eat it!! There's a reason.
You cannot "train" someone to care or be an active listener. You caninstruct them that they need to care and actively listen, but if theydo not, then you can deal with it up to firing them.
I wish you had said something to a manager at the time. All the fuddruckers around here closed.

At any one moment, around 20% of the working-age population in the average OECD country is suffering from a mental disorder in a clinical sense. In developed countries over 44% of people with mental difficulties do not seek help. In developing countries the number is closer to 90%. Stigma and fear are major barriers to looking for help. The median age at onset across all types of mental disorders is around 14 years of age, with 75% of all illnesses having developed by age 24. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Mental ill-health difficulties will account for 15% of the total burden of disease globally by 2020 and depression will be second only to heart disease. Mental health problems and illnesses typically account for approximately 30% of short- and long-term disability claims and 70% in the case of young people. An estimated 57.7 million adults in America, 26.2% of the population, have a mental disorder. In any given year, one in five people in Canada experience a mental health problem or illness and the cost to the economy is well in excess of $50 billion. The costs of mental health problems have been estimated to be equivalent to be at least 3% of Gross National Product (GNP) in the EU. Costs associated with lost employment are considered to be the single greatest contributor to costs. The OECD has called for policy to shift away from severe to common mental disorders and sub-threshold conditions and to focus upon more active and preventive strategies rather than current more reactive approaches.

This new online tool provides data tables and visualizations of ADA employment discrimination charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as well as state and local Fair Employment Practice Agencies.
This tool is designed to be used by anyone who would like to learn more about disability discrimination charges in their state or region. The data available on the site includes state level information on:
· ADA charges rates (ADA charge per 10,000 individuals with a disability in the labor force)
· The percent of ADA charges citing common bases (e.g., diabetes, depression)
· The percent of ADA charges citing common issues (e.g., discharge, reasonable accommodation)
Users can access all data through accessible tables as well as select and compare states of interest using interactive data visualizations.
This presentation will provide some background on the EEOC charge data and the development of this online tool as well as show users how to access and use this tool.
This session will review the following topics: • Revised definition of service animals under the ADA • Service animal inquiries under the ADA • Differences between the ADA and other laws impacting people who use service animals (i.e. Fair Housing Act, Air Carrier Access Act)

This presentation will introduce this new innovative web-based free resource designed to help researchers learn:
•What datasets related to disability and compensation are out there?
•What topics are covered in each dataset?
•What are the strengths and limitations?
•How do I access the datasets?

I recently installed Waze on my Nexus One and noticed the GPS is very flaky.
I consistently see the following, whether I'm driving or stationary:
1. GPS works for 12 seconds
2. GPS says 'No GPS. Showing approximate location' for 17-25 seconds
3. Repeat
I'm driving along a major highway in Denver, CO and never see anything like this when using Google Maps.
Is this a known hardware or software problem?
