We finally took the plunge and got ourselves another four-legged friend.This time we went the route of a animal rescue facility called DARG which is situated in Hout Bay.These people do fantastic work.Hats off to them all.She is a 6 week old female and we've named her Shoda and she is gorgeous.What Breed is she? Your guess is as good as mine but who cares hey,shes got a great home,a loving family and lots of love.
About DARG
DARG is a pro-life, non-profit organisation that rescues, cares for and re-homes abused, neglected and abandoned cats and dogs. It is our vision to be a leading example of animal sheltering in South Africa.
How DARG came about
When DARG was founded in 1995 by Cicely Blumberg, Leslie McClaghlan and a group of caring volunteers, it was initially a shelterless rescue network. DARG eventually rented, at a very nominal fee, 28 dog kennels from a Mrs Harrop who ran a boarding kennel. For three years more and more dogs found their way to DARG, and almost 3000 dogs were homed.
Tragedy struck with the passing of Mrs Harrop, and the property was put up for sale. A search was on to find a donor who would buy the property and let DARG continue renting the kennels. It seemed impossible, but after much wishing, hoping and prayer the miracle occurred.
Early 2000, Mr Antonio Giovanini with his wife Joy, who was at that time one of the DARG directors, bought the kennels and land. This was put into a trust and can only be used for no-kill animal shelters.
Three cheers for Mr Antonio Giovanini and his wife Joy.Angels they are.
If you live in Cape Town and want to get a pet-cat or dog please give DARG a try.Its heart-breaking stuff seen all the animals that need a home but you'll make a huge difference to one of their lives.I'm also going to try and do some volunteering work like walking,playing and feeding the dogs on weekends.Those buggers need some serious TLC.

87GB for the month so far, speeds seems constant, even though they are shaping a lot, i do get 50KBS during peak hours.
You tube videos loads faster then i can watch them, and speedtest.net local speed test averages at 2.8mbs - 3.5mbs.
Anything else?

Unfortunitely not Wangs.The Proteas are not very high up on my sport viewing at the moment.I see they were eventually restricted to 120/7.I see the Windies are 2/9 and their big man Gayle is out LBW bowled Steyn.Maybe in with a chance.
Just looking at the Supersport website countdown clock to SWC 2010 - 21 days 18 hours and 1 minute.Can you believe it?
It is here!!!

@Hobbs: Indeed we do but I think the final should've been played at much larger venue. Using one of the World Cup stadiums would've been better. Orland Stadium only accomodates 40k spectators.

@ Hobbster:
Ya, although it was more a case of the Windies throwing it away, methinks. The first ODI seemed like a drawn-out procession yesterday, after the diet of Twenty20 cricket over the past few months.

Bafana Bafana 1 Bulgaria 1 What do you guys think if you watched the match.I thought that first goal from a corner was brilliant.Just a pity we conceded that goal with some poor defence.Bulgaria are ranked No 39 in the world if Im not mistaken so overall I dont think the boys did to badly.We need one or two player who are able to take on the defense single handedly thereby creating better goal scoring opportunities linking up with others while the defence is left scrambling.And maybe more balls played wide and then crossed in.We just cant seem to penetrate playing the ball along the ground going through the middle.Was hoping to see Pienaar get a run and maybe even Benni McCarthey who I hope is match fit come June 11.We need a match fit Benni eventhough hes an A-Grade asshole.Next up Columbia.Totally different ballgame.Come on Bafana! Give us something to get excited about before the Mexico clash.

Spot on Hobbs!
Bafana were all over the Bulgarians but couldn't really break them down. I also wonder why the Bulgarians resorted to defensive tactics paricularly when this was a friendly.
I agree wholeheartedly that we need at least two midfield players who can take the match by the scruff of the neck and take on the defense cause we seemed lost for ideas when we were on their half of the pitch.
I'm also worried by our defense on the right back. Gaxa pushes forward too much and forgets or is slow to come back. That's how we conceded, not only that but that side was how Bulgaria tended to attack more effectively.
Personally, I don't want Benni in that squad! Pienaar is a must but I guess the coach was just resting him.
Overall, coming along nicely but our midfield needs to put in more effort and also supply the strikers better than yesterday.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Went into Vodacom3GLOUNGE in Cavendish today for my boss's daughters upgrade and walked out with the certainty that come next month when my upgrade is due I am going to get the Sony Ericsson X10.All its going to cost on top of my Top Up 315 contract is R99 phone finance.Fantastic!
