<p><strong>Department of Health &#38; Welfare</strong></p>
<p>Minister for Health                                                                                     </p>
<p>P.O Box 69</p>
<p>Cape Town</p>
<p>8000</p>
<p align="right"><strong>Cape Town, August 8, 2008</strong></p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PHYSICIANS</strong></p>
<p><strong>CONFIDENTIAL</strong></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Subject : New contamination possible in most Provinces</span></h3>
<p>Recent studies conducted on "aphthous fever" (for which we have just received conclusive results) indicate that in certain cases this can be transmitted to humans. We foresee a possible contamination in most provinces. Cases have been reported in Gauteng (31), Mpumalanga (24), Western Cape (1,145), Northern Cape (10), Kwazulu-Natal (23) and more recently in the Eastern Cape (15).</p>
<p>It was observed that the subjects examined were regular consumers of wine and spirits. Most (97,6%) of the subjects would encounter serious problems with their vision when having gone without alcohol for 1 to 2 days on average.</p>
<p>Extended periods without alcohol would seriously affect the individuals reading capabilities. The subjects would also feel a trembling sensation. In extreme cases, individuals would start to hallucinate and see coloured specks when staring at an object for extended periods.</p>
<p>If you encounter any such patients having these symptoms, please contact the Crisis Centre in Cape Town immediately.</p>
<p>Our research to date has resulted in a cure, consumption of alcohol every day for 3 months with plenty beetroot and garlic!!!</p>
<p>Please pass this document on to everyone you believe at risk!!!</p>
<p>Yours sincerely</p>
<p>Manto</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">I’m turning into a <a href="http://list.urbandictionary.com/t/3821490/17260107/7397/0/">mouse potato</a> . </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Its like couch potato but someone that sits at a PC for too long. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Given fact that I’ve been ill for two weeks<br />
<span style="color:#ffcc00;"><em>(DAMN! That’s a long while)</em></span>,<br />
its easy to slip into a rut of <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">medicated</span><span> </span>late sleep-ins when there are no early morning classes to attend. No need to wrap your books and runny nose into rainproof material to get your sorry ass to campus at 8am. . . bleh.<span><br />
</span>Cape Town’s miserable weather makes for awesome duvet days<br />
<span style="color:#ccffcc;">(thanks to <a href="http://lifeingen.blogspot.com/">cluckhoff </a>for this <a href="http://twitter.com/cluckhoff/statuses/872438144">term</a>),</span> Team that up with movie or a marathon of series and Hey presto! … I’m already on the list of aspiring vegetables :) hehe</span></p>

Takilla has taken ill and its given him time to re-emerge in blogosphere with a <a href="http://killa.co.za/blog/">new site</a>, new template, all new words to fill up his space. (I should be offering better link-love…wait for it... you can visit him <a href="http://killa.co.za/blog/">HERE</a>) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><br />
The woes of being ill, differs from person to person. Its summing we need to accept. Climate change probably leads to some sort of non-fatal illness. You’ve been ill before, you will be ill again. Its like the tides, and change in seasons. You can’t alter it :) Yay for Vaccines :D</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">When I’m ill…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">I can’t merge colours. I can’t get my clothing to match. My cooking sucks – maybe its coz my tastebuds are dead. I don’t want affection. I don’t want phonecalls. I just want meds, movies and some down time. I will have the most brilliant streak of creativity, but will be too miserable to harness the energy and transform it into something tangible. I become a social media spectator… surfing surfing browsing reading but not interacting. </span></p>

<span style="color:#ff0000;"> I need <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">the brain anaesthetic</span> something new to watch.</span><br />
I’m almost back to being a functional human being… stressing about the woes of life, finances, academics, and stretching the sociability index toooooo much… the next few weeks should be fun.</span></p>

It is countdown to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadaan">Ramadaan</a> after all. And like everyone else…<span> </span>we try to pack in the joy coz we don’t acknowledge that there is life post Ramadaan. Hehe :D<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-656 alignright" src="http://flafa.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/fla-1978.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></p>
<p>Depois de muita briga, ação na justiça, adiantamento por parte da Olympikus, rescisão contratual, a Nike lançou no jogo de ontem o novo manto sagrado.</p>
<p>Estou falando de novidade e coloco uma foto do time campeão do campeonato carioca de 1978? Mas porque isso?</p>
<p>Deixe-me explica, quando eu ví a camisa, achei ela meio feia, isso mesmo feia, porém ao pesquisar um pouco mais, ví que parece que a mesma foi inspirada nos uniformes da década de 70, como pode-se observar na foto ao lado.</p>
<p>Mais abaixo<!--more-->podemos ver os novos uniformes, que em um primeiro olhar ficou feio, mas observando direito até que ficou legal com uns detalhes em dourado.</p>
<p>Deixo uma pergunta, porque a logo da Nike em dourado?</p>
<p>Um detalhe a escalação do time que foi campeão em cima do Vasco naquele ano: Cantarelli, Toninho, Manguito, Rondinelli, Júnior, Carpeggiani, Adílio, Zico, Marcinho, Cleber (Eli Carlos) e Tita (Alberto Leguelé). Técnico: Cláudio Coutinho. Essa escalação foram os que participaram da partida. Afinal não sei ao certo pois eu não era nascido na época. :)</p>
<p>Abaixo as novas fotos:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">[gallery]</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">O que acharam? A Olympikus só em 2009 mesmo. :(</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Siempre que el cielo cierra sus ojos, la luna se aferra desasosegada al manto negro de la noche, y las estrellas titilan impacientes, las nubes huyen moribundas, los árboles gimen mustios, mientras todas las flores de los campos sueltan un polvillo mágico, y una historia de trágico amor se vuelve a repetir.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Todas las noches la ve pasar bajo las ramas tenebrosas de aquel bosque encantado. La luna brilla intensamente, retocándole cada uno de sus detalles, que tanto esmero puso Dios en concederle. Los azahares se le cuelan en el pelo, a modo de peinetas en miniatura que le perfuman el cabello. Un poco de rocío resplandece en su piel, pareciendo brillantina, animando a las estrellas a agotar su luz. Camina a medianoche sobre el agua del lago, danzando acompañada de un tenue rayo de luz, simulando cisnes bellísimos que se pierden tratando de encontrarse. Con su vestido blanco, y sus alas de mariposa, correteando con las hadas místicas hasta las entrañas de lo inimaginable. Y cuando al cielo le sobran lágrimas, una llovizna inclemente humedece sus trenzas de flores, y dirigiéndose al claro de luna, se resguarda bajo las fornidas ramas de un sauce melancólico. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Un niño azul de corazón y transparente de mirada, la observa siempre escondido entre las sombras. Espera con ansia observar a la figura deífica que se presenta ante su pupila, tan desinhibida y sincera, tan misteriosa y tan bella. No importa si se moja, o enferma, para él sólo existe un momento especial en su diario existir, que vive cada noche a la misma hora, en compañía del crepúsculo que remembra el sucumbir del sol ante los exasperantes cantos de las aves. Pero, ¿acaso las bestias que merodean en las profundidades del bosque le aterran? No, porque ha forjado una valentía de acero, que ningún moro y ningún minotauro podrán quebrantar, un fuego interno tan intenso, que le quema los dedos a su ángel de la guarda. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Un sortilegio de luz y sombras enclavan en su mente una fascinación extremada, un deseo al que se le tuercen los tendones y termina convirtiéndose en necesidad básica de su persona, una necesidad corrompida de cariño y absoluta inocencia, falange fatal de pensamientos que se agolpan en su cerebro. Un carnaval de maravillosos sueños, arcoiris puro de sentimientos, nube multicolor de epifanía colectiva. Descubre a lo largo del tiempo, lo que nunca pudo distinguir por vivir en soledad, un don divino que le fue negado por su orfandad, un desamparo casi total de calor al alma… el amor. Fuego sutil que le carboniza la razón, incrementando sus sentidos al máximo resplandor, un tiro de arcabuz al núcleo de su instinto… un hambre espiritual de pasión, queriendo metabolizar virtudes. Sediento de sentir, en un plano astral desconocido, perdido en un oasis con palmeras de mentira, con una tormenta de arena cubriéndole sus cicatrices. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>El tiempo fluye y no se detiene, una dimensión intangible, pero siempre tan rígida. Una molécula extraña, un cúmulo de momentos conceptuales al que se ve aunada una explicación ilógica de existencialismo. Una marcada barrera que no esclarece sueños, como navío fantasma que va robando cofres de falacias, y cortando flores al bulevar de imaginación que ofusca el pensar.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://None"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-176" src="http://ayesha5.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/manto2.jpg?w=85" alt="" width="85" height="96" /></a>It is unanimously agreed that Manto was a great storyteller. I had heard his name quite a lot but my first brush with his short stories was in BA. One of our friends had got his book issued from the library. One day she asked me to read certain lines from one of his stories. I read, blushed and closed the book. Yes, I was so immature even in BA. </span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;"><span style="color:#000000;">Years later I thought of buying his books. I bought the one called, “Manto Key Dus Behtareen Afsanay”.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14.25pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#34;"><span style="color:#000000;">I agree Manto is a great storyteller but his stories are so haunting and have depressive quality. That is right people see the obscene words and bold description but not the depth his stories carry.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Nuestra Patrona ya tiene otro manto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pero, ni hoy ha sido "sólo" la Patrona (que nunca deja de serlo), ni el manto "sólo" un manto (que todos son importantes y especiales).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more-->Hoy, la Virgen de Pilar ha sido, más que nunca, Nuestra Madre; una Madre que recibía un regalo de sus hijos, puesto que el Manto que hoy ha vestido desde poco antes de las 12 del mediodía del día de hoy, 22 de junio del Año del Señor de 2008, ha sido un regalo del pueblo de Zaragoza. Cerca de 90 particulares e Instituciones han donado el dinero necesario para poder hacer realidad una ilusión.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Y, desde poco antes de las 12 del mediodía, tras vestir, por fin, el Manto del Bicentenario,  tras cantar el "Bendita y Alabada", la emoción se ha desbordado. El Deán del Pilar ha tenido que mediar para que se dejaran de hacer fotos, tarea que ha resultado, ciertamente, imposible.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Personalmente, han confluido dos emociones: como Caballero del Pilar, poder hacer mi vela mensual con ese Manto; como miembro de la Asociación Cultural "Los Sitios de Zaragoza" ver materializada una ilusión colectiva y largamente esperada desde principios de año y que hoy se hacía realidad.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como siempre, lo largamente esperado ha pasado rápidamente pero... nos queda el reportaje fotográfico que, a continuación, les ofrezco.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">¡Por la Virgen del Pilar, Vencer o Morir!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more-->De la misma forma que los días que se nos avecinan, el domingo 22 de junio será un día muy especial y emocionante. En nombre de los Defensores de Hoy, nuestra Santa Madre vestirá un Manto en recuerdo de los Defensores de Ayer, Gloria de Zaragoza y de España y ejemplo de abnegación y heroísmo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aquí se pueden ver detalles del Manto, para disfrutar con antelación de un estupendo trabajo de bordado realizado por "Bordados Olga".</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://flafa.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/camisas.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-583" src="http://flafa.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/camisas.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="227" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O que acharam? A Vermelha e preta eu não acho que deva ser escolhida, já que a Nike fez uma parecida entre 2005/2006. Mas a branca, a rubro-negra e a preta com lista vertical em vermelha, são lindas! Sensacional!</p>
<h3><strong>UPDATE!</strong></h3>
<p>Ontem a <a href="http://www.flamengo.com.br/portal//AgenciaFla/Nota-Oficial-do-Depto-de-Marketing" target="_blank">Agência Fla</a> publicou uma nota do Departamento de Marketing que colocamos aqui embaixo:</p>
<blockquote>
<h2>Nota Oficial</h2>
<div class="attribute-short">
<p>Com relação à matéria publicada hoje em jornal de grande circulação sobre hipotética camisa a ser lançada por novo fornecedor de material, a Vice-presidência de Marketing do Flamengo, vem a público esclarecer:</p></div>
<div class="attribute-body">
<p>a) Nesse momento, o Flamengo não possui loja oficial em Niterói ou em qualquer outra localidade, a exceção da loja localizada na sede da Gávea. A remontagem da rede de lojas oficiais do Clube ainda está em andamento;</p>
<p>b) A Vice-presidência de Marketing nega veementemente que qualquer dos desenhos de camisa apresentados na imprensa correspondam a um eventual novo modelo de uniforme. Não existe ainda modelo oficialmente desenvolvido para esse fim.</p>
<p>Atenciosamente,</p>
<p>Ricardo Hinrichsen</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bem amigos, visitando o site do nosso novo patrocinador, a <a href="http://www.olympikus.com.br/site/default.aspx" target="_blank">Olympikus</a>, fez uma "homenagem" ao nosso rubro-negro. Agora é oficial! Nosso patrocinador é a Olympikus, ou OLK se preferirem.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-563 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://flafa.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/bruno.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="245" />Não é apenas nas cobranças de falta que Bruno segue o exemplo de Rogério Ceni. Com a mudança de fornecedor de material esportivo, o goleiro rubro-negro realizará um desejo antigo: ter uma camisa personalizada. Ele, a Olympikus e o departamento de marketing do Flamengo já começaram os entendimentos e uma coleção será lançada em sua homenagem.</p>
<blockquote><p>A idéia é fazer uma coleção que será trocada a cada ano e que terá várias peças, tamanhos, modelos para criança. A Vulcabras (Olympikus) também é dona da Reebok no Brasil e é ela que também faz as camisas do Rogério Ceni – explicou Ricardo Hinrichsen, vice de marketing do Flamengo.</p></blockquote>
<p>Bruno, inclusive, já deu algumas idéias de como será sua nova camisa. Ele gostaria de ter personagens como o <!--more-->Homem-Aranha e o Taz desenhados nela.</p>
<blockquote><p>Todo goleiro gosta de se sentir bem no gol e sempre tive essa vontade de ter uma camisa só minha. Ainda é cedo para falar. Mas dessa vez deve sair – disse Bruno, adiantando que as camisas serão de manga comprida, mais justas e que o segundo uniforme será preto, mas com algumas mudanças.</p></blockquote>
<p>O fato é que sua vontade sairá do papel. O goleiro já havia pedido à Nike camisas personalizadas, mas não foi atendido. Chegou a quase deixar de jogar quando foi proibido de entrar em campo com uma que havia feito. Mas a Olympikus já aceitou a idéia e vê como uma boa oportunidade comercial.</p>
<p>Não é para menos. A experiência é bem-sucedida com o São Paulo, que consegue lucrar muito com Rogério Ceni. O próprio goleiro participa de todo processo.</p>
<blockquote><p>Rogério é líder de vendas aqui. Podemos imaginar que, em média, represente de 7% a 10% do total de produtos vendidos. Ajuda muito ter uma camisa personalizada, porque o torcedor gosta. Ainda mais quando o goleiro é ídolo – disse Júlio Casares, diretor de marketing do São Paulo.</p></blockquote>
<p>Bruno já deu algumas sugestões e gostaria de ter o Taz e o Homem-Aranha desenhados nas camisas.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-560 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://flafa.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/diego_tardelli.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="218" />As três interrogações dão a prévia do novo fornecedor de material esportivo do Flamengo. A curiosidade para o lançamento da coleção com cerca de 40 peças, previsto para julho, só aumenta. No entanto, a torcida rubro-negra preocupa-se com a maneira como a Olympikus se comportará para fazer jus ao contrato que pode chegar à cifra recorde de R$ 170 milhões em cinco anos.</p>
<p>A empresa anterior teve diversos problemas de fornecimento de material. Muitas vezes não havia uniformes à venda e tampouco no clube. Para evitar os mesmos transtornos, a empresa brasileira garante que estudou bastante antes de acertar <!--more-->com o Flamengo.</p>
<blockquote><p>Foi planejado. Queremos entrar no futebol pela porta da frente. Sentimos muito orgulho por ter sido a empresa escolhida pelo clube de maior torcida do mundo. Não podemos decepcionar e sei que não vamos. Temos de cuidar dos lançamentos para mostrar que a gente tem condição de cumprir o que foi acordado - declara o diretor de futebol do grupo Vulcabrás, Tullio Fornicula Filho.</p></blockquote>
<p>A reboque da assinatura do novo contrato surgiram hipóteses. A primeira de que a Olympikus daria um "presente" em forma de jogador de futebol ao Flamengo. A outra sugeriria a formação de um time forte masculino de vôlei, esporte que a marca brasileira tem tradição.</p>
<blockquote><p>Não tem nada disso - garante Tullio.</p></blockquote>
<p>A empresa construirá dez lojas do Flamengo espalhadas pelo país. A principal ficará na Gávea e terá as companhia de um moderno museu capaz de fazer inveja, segundo o próprio Fla, a clubes europeus.</p>
<blockquote><p>A loja mais importante será na Gávea. Ela será ligada ao museu e sem dúvida se transformará em um ponto turístico do Rio. As demais serão no Norte, Nordeste e Centro-oeste. O Flamengo tem um outro contrato com uma empresa para explorar os demais pontos do país - diz o diretor da Olympikus.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bem amigos, desde 21/03/08 que venho anunciando que a parceria Fla-Nike estaria a terminar, conforme pode ver <a href="http://flafa.wordpress.com/2008/03/21/flamengo-deve-trocar-de-fornecedora-de-material/" target="_blank">aqui</a>, <a href="http://flafa.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/flamengo-deve-trocar-de-fornecedora-de-material-2/" target="_blank">aqui</a>, <a href="http://flafa.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/flamengo-deve-trocar-de-fornecedora-de-material-3/" target="_blank">aqui</a>, <a href="http://flafa.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/flamengo-e-nike-divorcio-a-vista/" target="_blank">aqui</a>, <a href="http://flafa.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/reuniao-define-renovacao-com-a-nike/" target="_blank">aqui</a>, <a href="http://flafa.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/flamengo-e-nike-contrato-rompido/" target="_blank">aqui</a> e <a href="http://flafa.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/nike-oferece-r-18-milhoes-ao-flamengo/" target="_blank">aqui</a>. Agora é oficial, já que no jogo contra o Fluminense o Flamengo entrou em campo com ??? ao invés da logo da Nike.</p>
<p>Muito especulou-se sobre a nova fornecedora de material esportivo, e quem ganhou foi a Vulcabrás, que retém dos direitos da Olympikus (OLK) e da Reebok. Para quem não sabe entre 1974 e 1992 o contrato de patrocínio do Flamengo era com a Adidas, certo? Errado! Era com a Vulcabrás, pois a mesma detinha os direitos da Adidas no Brasil (fonte: <a href="http://colunas.globoesporte.com/arthurmuhlenberg/2008/05/31/olympikus-e-adidas-anos-80-tudo-a-ver/" target="_blank">Arthur Muhlenberg, do Urublog</a>).</p>
<p>Esse contrato que será assinada renderá, em 05 (cinco) anos, um montante de R$ 105 milhões, ou R$ 21 milhões por temporada. A Nike nos oferecia R$ 9 milhões entre dinheiro e material. (fonte: <a href="http://globoesporte.globo.com/Esportes/Noticias/Times/Flamengo/0,,MUL584767-9865,00.html" target="_blank">GloboEsporte.com</a>)</p>
<p>Agora eu pergunto é jogada? Acho que sim! Pois a OLK é quem fornece material para o Cômite Olímpico Brasileiro (COB) desde o início da década de 90. Sem atrasar e com designer bem bonito como percebemos ano passado durante o Pan Rio 2007.</p>
<p>Enquanto aguardamos pelo andamento da finalização do contrato, ficamos especulando sobre como será o Manto Sagrado, nosso blog parceiro <a href="http://blogflamenguista.wordpress.com" target="_blank">BlogFlamenguista</a> já imaginou como pode ser o novo Manto<!--more-->.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I sat pondering whether to have jam or marmalade on my toast the other day, it suddenly dawned on me that everyday, each and every one of us make thousands of decisions.  Now forgetting for a minute the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect">butterfly effect</a>", some of these decisions are trivial whilst others can be life-threatening.</p>
<p>In a typical lifetime, the ordinary Joe like you or me, will probably make only a handful of these big decisions.  The <strong>really</strong> big decisions are made by "leaders".  Leaders, in the modern definition of the word, would probably include politicians and captains of industry.  Now what is (or should be) the important trait of a major "decision maker"?  I think, simply put,</p>
<ol>
<li>They should be qualified in the field of the decision to be made.</li>
<li>They should understand the consequences of either (or all) of the options.</li>
<li>Lastly they should possess that important gift, wisdom.</li>
</ol>
<p>Some recent important decisions locally and from around the world make me really wonder if the decision-makers possessed even one of these traits.  I'll give you some examples;</p>
<ul>
<li>The military junta in Burma prevent foreign aid from reaching their citizens after a devastating cyclone which leaves up to 100 000 dead.</li>
<li>Mad Bob Mugabe unleashes his dogs of war to punish the population for voting against him and ensure victory (again) in the run-off.  International observers and peace-keepers are also forbidden.</li>
<li>A Kwazulu-Natal rural doctor faces disciplinary action for arranging foreign-sponsored ARV drugs for his HIV-positive pregnant patients after the Health Department refuses his request to save lives.</li>
<li>Our (allegedly) alcoholic Health Minister and her equally useless MEC in KZN condone, and are keynote speakers at, an AIDS conference that actively promotes AIDS-denialism and traditional cures over internationally-recognised ARV treatment.</li>
</ul>
<p>These decisions cost tens of thousands of (mainly) innocent lives.  Do you think these idiots pass my simple 3-point test?  Of course they don't, but hey, we get the leaders that we voted for. After that we are expected to shut up until the next election.  "<em>Leave it to us</em>," they say, "l<em>eave it to us</em>."</p>
<p>Now, jam or marmalade?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At last, our Health Minister has made a statement.  I'm sure that there are loads of bloggers like me who rub their hands in glee everytime this incoherent lady opens her mouth, but she really had me worried lately, she's been so quiet.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://synaptoman.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/manto1med.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-856" src="http://synaptoman.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/manto1med.gif" alt="" width="288" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>Anyway back to the <a href="http://www.thetimes.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=760546">story</a>.  This time, she's suggesting that government steps in to force industry to cap food prices.  How intelligent.  Haven't we seen Mad Bob try this a few times?  And?</p>
<p>Well <a href="http://www.viking.no/e/people/e-knud.htm">King Canute</a> also tried something similar and proved that some things just cannot be kept back.  As part of a global economy, we are at the mercy of rising world food prices, fuelled by higher oil prices.  South Africa is not unique, the whole world is experiencing the same difficulties and to be naive enough to think that legislation is going to stop these increases speaks volumes of this excuse for a minister.</p>
<p>While we're at it, why don't we rather just print a shitload more money like Uncle Bob and increase all the welfare grants so that the poor can afford caviar and oysters.  Stuff the Rand, there's an election around the corner, let's just please the votas.</p>
<p>Seriously, I am sure that there are a few unscrupulous manufacturers who have climbed on the bandwagon, but hey, we have a thriving and competitive market in most foodstuffs and the consumer is savvy enough to switch brands as long as collusion between manufacturers can be prevented at all costs.  The market will sort it all out, trust me.</p>
<p>The government should rather concern itself with keeping a close eye out for any anti-competitive behaviour in the market and not even think about legislating what cannot be legislated.  The Rand will be the big loser in this mad exercise in futility.</p>
<p>So in conclusion, madam please butt out, look after your own chaotic ministry, or better still why not retire and look after your new liver.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Indeed, the imagery of a nation that narrowly avoided bloodshed through tactical Gandhiism by all sides are what make up bedtime stories in troubled places as far afield as Kashmir and Armenia.<span>  </span>In fact, no matter how hard Manto tried to match perceptions of South Africa's intellectual capacity with those preconceived, dangerous, and racist stereotypes of Africans with the help of her beetroot fantasies, and no matter how many times the media has showcased Zuma publicly exposing his medialized macho Zulu ego, and belief in shower cure-alls across the globe, South Africa's hold on the moral high ground was secure. Until last week, that is..</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wonner toe maar nou so in my stilligheid, wat laat ons almal tick? Hoekom is ons so vinnig om vingers te wys, pens en pootjies in ander se persoonlikhede in te klim?</p>
<p>Ek onthou van kleintyd af dat as jy vir iemand vinger gewys het, jy baie vinnig uitgewys is dat 3 van die vingers terugwys na jou toe!</p>
<p>Vat nou byvoorbeeld vir oom Bob, heel lekker donner hy voort in die landjie wat ons Zimbabwe noem, hier neffens noord van ons. Vir menige is dit swart op wit, die man is deur 'n windmeul gemoer en die torre het almal van die rakke afgeneuk. Maar hoe nou? Hoekom is daar nog steeds mense wat aan sy dik lippe hang. Never mind hulle. Kan HY regtig glo alles wat hy aanvang is ok? Mmmm, laat mens verder dink hoekom die opposisie, en die res van die wêreld agter Morgan staan. En as ek nou 'n koekie in die blik kan gooi, lyk dit vir my dit is net omdat hy nie Bob is nie!</p>
<p>Kom ons beweeg aan, nader huis toe. Trompet geskal!!!! Tannie Winnie. My magdag, ek weet ek is nie 'n oil painting nie(en die proof is in my foto), maar wragtig hierdie vrou het 'n snotklap van moeder natuur afgekry. Die wat vir Camilla met 'n perd vergelyk, het obviously, ek herhaal, obviously nog nie vir ant Winnie gesiet nie. Kyk en van onderduimse plannetjies en necklaces (nie die diamant tipe nie) kan jy die vrou niks leer nie. Was al in die hof vir alles en nog wat. En tog is sy nog "around". Nou verkies tot die ANC se exec's. Kan een vrou so baie van die ander comrades weet? Laat mens wonder wat kan erger wees as die bedrog en moord en doodslag waarvan ons al klaar weet.</p>
<p>Ok, kom ons spring op SAL en vlieg so Noord-Wes van hier-af. Arriveer met mening in die wonderlike, voortreflike, ongeëwenaarde land van alle lande..die u s of a. Kyk, as daar nou 'n volkie is waar hoogmoed al in hulle sperm aangekweek word, is dit nou hier. Alles net die beste, alles net die grootste, blah blah blah. Hulle kan hulle vliegtuigies en tankies en flippen op steroid masjiengewere vat en 'n land van die aardbol gaan afvee...en almal sal net stilweg toekyk. Welgedaan Amerika. Ons weet daar is nou nie bewyse van die massa-distruksie wapens nie, en dit lyk so asof daai foto'tjies dalk gephotoshop is. Ag wie gee om, help julleself daar met die olietjies en so aan.</p>
<p>En so kan ons aangaan en 'n draai maak by Manto-knoffel-en-aartappel-maak-vir-baba-bang, Hitler-single-handedly-roei-die-Jode-uit, Idi-moor-die-volk-amin, Queen-victoria-tannie-konsentrasie-kampie, Thabo-bob-gabba-Mbeki..ens.ens.</p>
<p>En as jy nou mooi terugdink, en al die mense se motiewe (so kak as wat dit was), ontleed, kan jy nie help om te dink aan die seven deadly sins nie. En watter een staan altys soos 'n blou-met-'n-hammer-gedonnerde seer vinger uit? Greed, en wat saam met hom gaan....money is the root of all evil.</p>
<p>Nou ek is jammer, maar die drie vingers wat terugwys na my toe is nie so bloed-druipend soos die een wat na die maters toe wys nie! Ek hoop hulle slaap rustig.</p>

tra ghirlande d'alloro e corone d'argento,<br />
nell'ansietà del volger degli eventi<br />
e le canzoni nel cuore e la speranza viva</p>
<p>Nella memoria di pochi momenti,<br />
l'angoscia del perder dato, sommerso<br />
di nebbia e vapore, di caldo e freddo;<br />
di fuoco che arde e si spegne</p>
<p>Ché superba era la volta mancata<br />
e i silenzi impropri di natura acerba,<br />
la vetta nel su di ogni mattina<br />
e le gare mirate in fredde notti.</p>
<p>Nel manto reso di montagna in montagna,<br />
di petto in petto e di giornata in giornata<br />
riverso tutto il folgor degli occhi tuoi<br />
nello stormir delle fronde di sera</p>
<p>Coccolate dalla luce fioca della luna;<br />
luci sui ricci capelli dorati<br />
scombussolati da un nembo di gente<br />
tra noi e la voce roca del nostro girasole.</p>
