I have been trying to retrieve the latest e mails sent to me & one of them must be very large as its taking forever to download. Is this because I am on "dial up"? Luckily I haven't been disconnected from the internet & hopefully I will eventually get the large e mail. Been on line now for just over an hour & still waiting for it to come through.
I know some of you might say change from "dial up" but this is all I have right now. It's very frustrating.

With all the bombings and the floods we kind of forgotten about the Tsunami victims.

The main leaders of the organisation I am working with just met for meetings and I received part of the report tonight. I received this information a few weeks ago, and when I read the report tonight it touched my heart again. I worked with Stephe Goode in Thailand with mercy ministries to the Cambodian refugees.

This is part of the report:
"We always start with a day given over to prayer and seeking the Lord and this led into a special time of prayer for Steve Goode and those who have been involved in so much trauma as a result of the tsunami. Steve shared of one 21 year old who alone had buried over 1800 people and of a town of 12,000 people that was reduced to a small community of 100. Dealing with such pain, loss and suffering takes its toll. We prayed for a garment of praise to clothe those with a spirit of heaviness. The work in those devastated countries continues. "

Please continue to remember these guys in your prayers - I cannot even imagine how it must feel seeing the devastation of it all!

Hi all

I am Head Chef of a restaurant near London and I'm currently drawing up my seasonal menus for the next 6 months.

My questions to the youngsters (read as 5 - 13 yrs old) are as follows:

When you go out to eat with your folks what do you look for on the menu?

What kind of food do you expect?

Are there do's and don'ts when it comes to your type of food?

What are your favourite foods to eat out?

Are health foods popular?

Are there certain colours that are not recommended?

What kind of restaurants do you normally eat in?

What kind of price range do you pay?

Any advice or tips that you can give me would be much appreciated - please bear in mind that the requests are general and directed not only at the young South African element in the UK, but on a broader scale.

Many thanks
G

BARÂ’s Takuma Sato will drop ten places on the grid for the Brazilian Grand Prix in two weeksÂ’ time as penalty for his clash with Michael Schumacher at Spa on Sunday.
Takuma Sato (JPN) BAR Honda 007 and Michael Schumacher (GER) Ferrari F2005 collide. Formula One World Championship, Rd16, Belgian Grand Prix, Race, Spa Francorchamps, Belgium, 11 September 2005Sato ran into the rear of SchumacherÂ’s Ferrari going into the La Source hairpin just after the safety car had pulled back into the pits on lap 14. After consultating the two drivers, stewards deemed the Japanese star responsible for the accident, which put both men out of the race.

Meanwhile, WilliamsÂ’ Antonio Pizzonia was fined for crashing into Juan Pablo MontoyaÂ’s McLaren in the closing stages of the race as the Brazilian attempted to unlap himself. Both men were forced to retire as a result of the incident.

Personally I think that Sato should commit (to) Hare Krishna and the Pizzaman should be given a medal :haha:

Triumph for Kimi, disaster for Montoya

September 11, 2005

Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium - Kimi Raikkonen has won the Belgian Formula 1 GP and forced Spain's championship leader Fernando Alonso to wait at least another two weeks to be crowned World champion.

Raikkonen's McLaren team mate Juan Pablo Montoya pitted with 11 laps remaining, allowing the Finn to take a race lead he then never relinquished and keep alive his slim hopes of winning the title.

Alonso, who needed to out-score Raikkonen by four points to become F1's youngest World champion, was second for Renault and now holds a 25-point lead over the Finn in the Drivers' standings with three races remaining

Colombian Montoya, who started on pole, was in second place when he made contact with Antonio Pizzonia's Williams while lapping the Brazilian and crashed out with three laps remaining.

AT THE HALFWAY MARK: Juan-Pablo Montoya led the Belgian Grand prix at the halfway stage of the 44-lap race here on Sunday but was under increasing pressure from Toyota's Ralf Schumacher.

The Colombian, who won the Italian GP last week, got off to a good start as his McLaren team mate and championship contender Kimi Raikkonen forced wide at the first corner of a track made slippery after a morning of heavy rain.

Renault's Giancarlo Fisichella also had a disappointing end to his race, in which he was moving determinedly up through the field. The Italian lost control of his car coming out of the Eau Rouge corner on the 11th lap, clipped an inside kerb and spun into the barrier

.

He walked away from the crash, seemingly unhurt.

Ralf Schumacher clocked the fastest lap of the race so far in the ninth lap at 1min 56.410 as he moved up from seventh.

BAR-Honda's Japanese pilot Takuma Sato arguably had the best start, jumping from 10th on the grid to seventh on the first lap.

But Sato lost that advantage after his team decided to change the tyres of his and team mate Jenson Button's cars to wets after Fisichella's crash.

Sato then undid Michael Schumacher's good work when he braked too late and clipped the German's rear wing, shunting him off the track and into the gravel for a further collision.

A furious Schumacher immediately exited his car and lent into the cockpit of his Japanese rival for a few choice words – and a clip on his helmet.

"I'm not very happy," said Schumacher, who has had a disastrous season by his own high standards.

By lap 13, Montoya led Sauber's Jacques Villeneuve by 3.8sec but Ralf Schumacher surged a lap later into second place.

Montoya's lead was then cut to less than three seconds, with Raikkonen in third seven seconds off the pace.

Schumacher closes Montoya down further while Renault's Fernando Alonso in fifth fell further behind Villeneuve.

Scot David Coulthard was then forced out on lap 19 after something blew in his engine. – Sapa-Reuters, AFP
