Flowers for that

Fred Lebow complained to his doctor that helacked energy. His doctor advised him to takeup running in order to increase his stamina.He fell in love with it! He was 39 years oldwhen he entered his first race and did horribly.He beat only one other contestant…a 72-year-old man. But he loved it!

Fred decided what he really wanted to do andhe did it in his spare time. He joined the NewYork Road Runners Club and organized NewYork City's first marathon race. But what Fredtruly wanted to do, even more than run, was tobring people together. And that is what he did.He believe that anybody should be able to run- people of all ages, any background,professional or amateur, and of any country.Today, more than 28,000 people of allbackgrounds and nationalities compete in theNYC Marathon.

Not everyone in New York was excited aboutpeople running through their neighborhoods.Fred was approached by a youth gang thatwarned him that nobody had better run throughtheir turf. "That's great," Fred enthused. "I need

someone to protect the runners in your area, andyou look like just the fellows to do it." He gavethem each a hat, shirt and jacket and that year,when the marathon went through theirneighborhood, these young men proudly guardedthe runners along their way.

Fred decided what was truly important to him andhe found a way to do it. He lived with intent. Thatsingle decision made his life remarkably different.

In 1990, Fred Lebow found he had a brain tumor.In 1992 he ran his final race. He crossed thefinish line holding the hand of his friend andNorwegian Olympic medalist, Grete Waitz. Abronze statue was created of Fred in his runningclothes, checking his watch. It is now placed atthe finish line of every race. Fred died in 1994.But as one sports writer said, "Fate handed him ashort race. With his gall, with his love of life, FredLebow turned it into a marathon."

Scientists had warned the farmers not to plantthat season unless they had irrigation andAngus knew very well that he didn’t haveirrigation. Planting potatoes would be a massiverisk. He prayed and prayed and knew that theLord wanted him to plant potatoes.

He went back to his farm, hired two extra farmsand planted potatoes in the dust. If the crop hadfailed he would have lost everything that he had.Angus clearly expected a miracle.

Angus is from Scottish decent and is by naturea very fiery character. Before he came to knowJesus, he often clashed with his farm workers,especially Simeon Benghu, his foreman. Afterselling his farm in Zambia, at a ridiculouslyprice, he had very little money to buy a farm inSouth Africa.

They purchased a farm without a house andhad to live in a caravan for several months. Jillwas 6 months pregnant and they already hadthree other young children.

The change in Angus came when he gave hislife, his heart, his family and his farm to Jesus

during a church service at the GreytownMethodist Church. What is very striking in thestory is the contrast between the miracles and thehardships that seemed to happen.

When the Lord called Angus to start preaching and toshare the Gospel, Angus acted in obedience and soonhe started getting calls from all over South Africainviting him to preach to farmers. His faith grew withevery campaign and with every miracle that heexperienced.

Then, just as you read about the miracles and think thatnothing could go wrong in the Buchans’ lives, a tragicaccident on the farm shook their family. This was anincredibly tough time for everyone at Shalom, but Godis always faithful in bringing His peace in times of need.Even at the lowest point in his life, Angus remainedfaithful to the Lord.

A wonderful part of the story is the fact that todayAngus and Simeon Benghu are real brothers in Christ.After 25 years Simeon is still Angus’s foreman and asAngus says: “His children are mine and my childrenare his.”

Angus and Jill soondecided that their faithneeded to have feet, andwhen they discovered theneeds in their community,they opened their farm to 24Zulu orphans. Thesechildren had no parents orhomes so Angus and Jilldecided to raise them astheir own.

Today two of Angus’daughters, Robyn and Jilly,help to run the children’shome. His children are justas dedicated as he is, andhis two sons, Andrew and

Fergus run the farm whileAngus preaches away fromhome almost every weekend.

A builder may pour thefoundation and raise theroof, but only you canmake your new house ahome.

Building a new home begins long before thefoundation is poured. To avoid costlymistakes during the construction process,start with these five important steps. As youmove from dream house to real house, besure to ask questions and share yourprogress on our architecture forum.

Plan Your Budget - Begin now to think abouthow much you can afford to spend and howmuch your new home is likely to cost.Chances are you will need a loan so find outwhat size loan you qualify for. Also, knowingthe approximate costs will help you modifyyour building plans to meet your budget.

Whether you are building your home in thecountry or a holiday home at the sea withsweeping ocean views, you will need toinvestigate factors such as soil condition,drainage, zoning and building regulations.

You'll need a team of experts to design andconstruct your house. Key players will include abuilder, an excavator, a surveyor and a architect.Many homeowners begin by selecting the builder orcontractor. That pro then selects other members ofthe team. However, you may also opt to hire anarchitect or designer first.

Many new homes are built on ideas seen in amagazine or from a previous home or just ideas puttogether. The builder may make minor modificationsin room size, window style or other details.

A custom-designed home, on the other hand, iscreated specifically for the family which will livethere. In most cases, custom-designed homesrequire the services of a licensed architect. Whetheryou opt for a stock or a custom design, you will bewise to choose a plan that will meet your needs formany years to come.

Be sure to get a written contract which has beensigned and dated by both the builder or contractorand the architect or designer. A contract for newhome construction will describe the project in detailand include a listing of all the parts to be included inthe house. Remember to amend the contract if youor your team make any changes to the project lateron.

Inthe last three years we have seconded to Londontwice for 13 and 15 months respectively. Prior tomoving to London, we had purchased our house,but not had the finances, or the time to reallydevelop the back garden. We simply put lawn downso that the garden would not be a dust bowl. It wasbetween these two secondments that my wife sawone of the Vvd project bakkies and wrote downtheir contact details.

This started a two year discussion with PJ aroundwhat it was that we were hoping to do, and whenwe were hoping to do it. In the past two years PJmust have prepared somewhere between 5 and 10complete quotes for us. The scope of the projecthas changed multiple times, and the time frameshave been juggled around by our sojourns back toLondon.

In the end we wanted two things. 1) We wantedsomeone who would manage the project in itsentirety. Neither of us have the time or expertise toorganise and manage contractors. 2) We wantedsomeone who we felt we could trust. We had heardso many nightmare stories of builders andlandscapers that we wanted to do our best to findsomeone who had developed a reputation forhonesty and integrity. We contacted two otherorganisations to provide quotes for us. In both

cases, the quoteslooked like they hadbeen written in thecar on the way tosee us. In contrastVvd projects gaveus an eleven pagequote broken downline item by lineitem. I even know

how much I am paying for the builders outside portaloo.Something else that really impressed us was that theteam never seemed to tire from discussing options withus. We have never built a garden before. We have ideas,we have seen things we like, but we have no idea if theycan work together.

This is where the team has been great at getting alongside us and trying to understand our vision. They offergreat advice, but at the same time, they are very carefulnot to quash our ideas. One of the things that we havenoticed is that they are very respectful of the fact that welive here. Building and landscaping is a messy affair atthe best of times.

The team from Vvd projects seem to be going out of theirway to minimise the impact of this on us as much aspossible. At the end of the day, they actually take thetime to clean up the site. In the end, the decision tochoose Vvd projects was relatively easy.

When choosing to entrust someone with your landscapingor building work, ask for references. VVD Projects had notrouble providing us with references and examples of theirwork. Based on our excellent experience so far, I can seewhy.

Hardware options are basic concerns when designing abathroom. Faucets and spigots, as well as tubs andtoilets, manufactured in a number of shapes andmaterials can become the centerpiece of yourbathroom. Open showers are very popular and claw-foot bathtubs are always considered to be classic andattractive. By simply choosing a certain style tub, you

can create a sense of "old world" charm, orheighten your guest's sense of modernism.Evaluate privacy issues first; don't put thetoilet and tub too close together. Whenchoosing tiles, you should look for durability,aesthetic value, and a non-porous surface.

After the design and production of a space-conscious and attractive bathroom have beencompleted, focus on decoration accessoriesto bring out personality and individualism.

The bathroom should be a comfortable andprivate room. Keep your bathroom clean,functional and simple.

Place your couch directly against a wall or asclose to a wall as possible. This will ensure thatthe couch will always be sheltered and peopleseated in it will always feel warm and “cumfy”.

If there is limited space available in the room,make sure that the furniture that you select isnot too big or bulky. Instead of purchasing asofa set as a complete unit, consider rather

buying separate parts that can be joined togetheror placed on their own. The main couch shouldalways face the main entrance to a room. If youare standing outside of a room looking in, thecouch should be one of the first things that yousee.

Finally, opt for modern couches with soft, curvedarmrests and sofa tables with rounded edges.These create a relaxed, supportive and openliving room atmosphere.

SOUND ENGINEERING COURSE

Beste Meneer en Mevrou

Ons wil graag van die geleentheid gebruik maak omons firma aan U bekend te stel. Ons firma DEBTCONspesialiseer in die Nasionale Kredietwet wat in 2005in werking getree het. Ons spesialiseer meerspesifiek op die gebied van skuldvoorligting wat inomgangstaal meer algemeen na verwys word as“debt counselling”.

Met die huidige ekonomiese stand van sake in Siud-Afrika ervaar al hoe meer mense finansiele druk,aangesien mense se salarisse nie tred hou met diestygende rentekoerse, petrolpryse en kospryse nie.Mense bevind dat hulle skielik nie hulle maandelikseverpligtinge kan nakom nie en dat hulle begrotingseenvoudig net nie meer klop nie, maak nie saak hoehard daar probeer word nie. Mense raak agterstalligop hulle huisverbande,motorpaaiemente, kredietkaarte en persoonlik leenings, mense maak skuld omskuld te betaal en raak eenvoudig al hoe dieperbegrawe onder rekeninge en verpligtinge. Skuld kanhuisgesinne vernietig en mense uitmekaar dryf. In dieverlede voor die inwerkingtrede van die nuwe Wet,het mense slegs twee opsies gehad om van hierdietipe probleem ontslae te raak, hulle kon of onderadministrasie gaan of hulle kon hulleself sekwestreerin terme van die Wet op Insolvensie.

Hierdie roetes, het langwerkende gevolge enveroorsaak ons insiens nie n oplossing nie,aangesien mense amper n lewenslange vonnis teenhulle bekom. Skuldvoorligting het ten doel om mensedie kans te gee om te behou wat hulle het en ook ommense die geleentheid te gun om in die toekomsweer skoon te begin, sonder dat daar n klad op diepersoon se naam is.

Wat is skuldvoorligting presies? In terme van dieNasionale Kredietwet, word mense die geleentheidgegun om n skuldvoorligter te gaan sien indien hullevoel dat hulle nie meer in staat is om al hullemaandelikse verpligtinge na te kom nie.

Skuldvoorligters is en moet geregistreer wees by dieNasionale Kredietreguleerder (NCR) en beskik oormagtiging om namens mense met finansieleorginasies en kredierverskaffers te onderhandel.Indien U n skuldvoorligter gaan spreek, moet daardieskuldvoorligter eers vastel of U skuldlas oorbelaai is.

Indien die skuldvoorligter tot die konklusie kom datdit wel so is, word U onverwyld onder skuldvoorligtinggeplaas en geniet U die beskerming van dieNasionale Kredietwet, dit beteken dat daar nieverdere regsaksie teen U geneem kan word nie, Uword die geleentheid gegun om U huis en U motor tebehou, indien U samewerking gee en hou by dienuwe reelings wat U skuldvoorligter namens U tref.Die periode van U terugbetaling word verleng en Umaandelikse paaiemente word verlaag, van diefinansiele instellings is selfs bereid om rentekoerse te

verlaag en die doel is uit en uit om U diegeleentheid te gun om weer normal te leef en voortte gaan met U lewe, sonder om elke minuut vanelke dag uself te bekommer oor U skuldeisers enhoe U hulle gaan betaalen tevrede kan stel.

Ek nooi U graag uit om van hierdie wonderlikeWetgewing van ons gebruik te maak veral onderdie personeel wat nie elke maand by al hulleverpligtinge uitkom nie, ons almal weet as jy nieelke maand Jouself dood hoef te bekommer oorjou finansies nie dan kan jy konsentreer op jouwerk en jou elke daagse take.

Ons as DEBTCON kom graag uit en praat met diepersoneel en vertel vir hulle dat daar wel noplossing vir hulle is ons hanteer dit ook baieprivaat want die laaste ding wat ons wil he is datiemand voor die ander personeel nie gerespekteerword nie. Ons bring vir almal n baie oulik envolledige boekie saam wat hulle kan huis toe neemwant ons vind dat terwyl ons daar is en met almalpraat is die vrae maar min juis omdat dit sopersoonlike aangeleentheid is, met die boekie kandaar baie van hulle vrae beantwoord word.

Wat die werkgewer betref, hy is geensins hierbybetrokke nie die hele aangeleentheid is tussenDebtcon en die klient, niks word van sy salarisafgetrek nie, die klient betaal maandeliks self synuwe bedrag by die bank in. Hierdie versoek is nienet aan die werkgewers nie dit is ook aanKerkleiers,Familie lede, Vriende en Skoolhoofdewat weet van iemand wat nie meer by al daaiverpligtinge kan uitkom nie, en daardie persoonsoek hulp en jy wil help maar dit gaan self maarmoeilik, nou hier is vir jou n antwoord stuur daardiepersoon na DEBTCON vir n NUWE begin!

ONTHOU een of ander tyd kon jy ALS bekostigwat jy besit,want anders sou die krediteure dit nietoegestaan het nie, maar dit is NIE jou skuld datjou inkomste verander het nie, en dit is juishoekom ons regering goedgedink het om die Wetgewing so in te stel vir almal om te wen op die oueinde!!! Moenie wag tot dit te laat is nie, dit kos jouniks om ons net te kom vra wat ons vir jou kandoen hier by DEBTCON!!!

Ons hoor graag van jou.

Vriendelike en Bekommernisvrye Groete van,

Die DEBTCON WESKAAP GROEP.

The Tygervalley Eye & Laser Centre in theNorthern suburbs has been providing world classeye care to thousands of patients, both local andoverseas, over the past 11 years. Specializing inrefractive surgery, the clinic offers the mosttechnologically advanced equipment and theatrefacilities.We offer wavefront-guided Advanced CustomVueLasik and PRK procedures to treat myopia,hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. Itinvolves a personal and unique laser visioncorrection that is designed for each eyeindividually. Since no two “treatmentprescriptions” are the same, improved outcomescan be expected for each person who undergoestreatment with the Advanced CustomVue Lasiksystem.

DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping AutomatedEndothelial Keratoplasty) is a new cornealtransplant technique where the unhealthy,diseased, posterior portion of a patient’s cornea isremoved and replaced with healthy donor tissueobtained from the eye bank. Unlike conventionalcorneal transplant surgery known as penetratingkeratoplasty (PKP), the DSAEK procedure utilisesa much smaller surgical incision and requiresfewer corneal sutures. This usually results in morerapid visual rehabilitation for the DSAEK patientand also better post-operative visual acuity. Thelatest technology used for cataract extraction ismicro-incision phaco-emulsification. It isperformed under topical anaesthetic, whichmeans that your eye is numbed with eye dropsonly; no injections or general anaesthesia isnecessary. The procedure involves a sub-2.2mmincision in the side of the cornea, through whichthe surgeon applies a tiny, high-frequencyultrasound instrument. High-energy sound wavesbreak up the centre of the lens into microscopicparticles, which are then gently suctioned outthrough the incision. The new OZil Torsional andintrepid phaco-emulsification ultrasound systemprovides better post-operative vision and quickerrecovery due to clearer corneas.

Multifocal Intra-ocular lenses are becoming moreand more popular as patients who undergocataract surgery are usually independent ofspectacles for distance and near vision if theyhave a multifocal IOL implanted. The opticalsurface of the new generation multifocal

intraocular lenses has a wavefront-guided design,which takes into account the aberrations of theeye. There are various multifocal lens implantsavailable on the market, including Technis,ReStor, Rezoom, AcriLisa and Array. Some ofthese are better for computer work (intermediatedistance), while others are better for reading (upclose). Accommodating IOL's are also available.Surgeons can customise each patient’s surgeryby establishing which IOL, or combination ofIOL’s, is best suited to the patient depending ontheir individual needs.

Vyf feite oor Osteoporose

Het jy dalk gedink jy het geen risiko om osteoporose teontwikkel nie? Hier is ‘n paar feite oor osteoporose wat jou dalktwee keer sal laat dink.

* Die meeste van ons weet dat kalsium belangrik is vir ‘n sterkbeenstruktuur, maar het jy geweet dat vitamien D jou ook teenfrakture kan beskerm? Vitamien D help jou liggaam om kalsiumte absorbeer en is noodsaaklik vir beengroei. Eiers, kaas en vissoos salm, tuna en sardientjies is goeie bronne van vitamien D.* Gewigdraende oefening soos draf, trappe klim, tennis ofmuurbal en aërobiese oefening voorkom nie net beenverlies nie,maar volwassenes kan hul beendigtheid selfs vermeerder deurhierdie oefeninge.* Immobiliteit kan ook tot osteoporose lei. Sodra mense vir langtye nie beweeg nie, neem beenmassa af. Indien jy dus vir ‘nlang ruk bedlêend of in ‘n rolstoel was is dit baie belangrik om

vir ‘n beendigtheidstoets te gaan en om die regteleefstyl- en dieetkeuses te maak.* ‘n T-telling word gebruik om die graad vanosteoporose te beskryf. Die jong volwassebevolking word as die standard (‘n T-telling van 0)gebruik. ‘n T-telling tussen -1 en -2.5 staan bekendas “osteopenie” of lae beenmassa. ‘n T-telling van -2.5 of laer word as osteoporose beskou.* Osteoporose word algemeen met ‘n laeestrogeenvlak in postmenopousale vrouensgeassosieer, maar ‘n afname in testosteroon inouer mans kan soortgelyke gevolge hê aangesientestosteroon ‘n belangrike rol speel in dieinstandhouding van beenmassa.
