Wow, with the ever increasing fuel price every person who drives on a regular basis needs to have a look at this. Fuel is constantly going up and the s-tag is also not helping matters. If you want more info give me a shout

Help me make a difference !!
I have entered into a competition on facebook to win a website make over for Quick Cup.
To win the competition I had to make a video of one of the following acts:
- Kind-heartedness
- Funny
- Extreme
I chose to do an act of kind-heartedness
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=492754579131&oid=138479966168628&comments&ref=mf
By voting for me you help me support and or highlight the plight of these people.
Supporting the Cradle of Hope
With the help of friends, family and the local community I was able to collect and donate a lot of toys and food for the needy in Krugersdorp. My video is an insight into the poverty within one of South Africa's White Squatters Camps, as well as the good work the Cradle of Hope does to assist these people. The Cradle of hope, is independent, a social upliftment, job creation and skills development organisation, that renders assistance to "missionary" and "outreach" projects, as well as underprivileged and destitute people. The main focus is on women and children. I would love to win the competition, because, I would use a section of the website to promote and highlight the plight of these people on an ongoing basis. This has now become my company’s “Social Responsibility Project” ….Please vote for me!! PS: If you would like to get involved ... please visit the Cradle of Hope’s website and their Causes Page on Facebook.

Coffee Time !!
Is Your Coffee Stale ?
You are a coffee connoisseur. Your taste is distinctive. You know what you want and always get it!
The question is: "Have your taste buds been trained to like stale coffee?"
In South Africa there is a bizarre misconception that imported coffee is the best.
When coffee is roasted, a chemical reaction takes place that releases the aroma of the coffee bean. The roasted bean, when exposed to oxygen starts to loose its flavour. Most instant coffees are packaged in such a way that carbon dioxide is pumped into the container to displace oxygen. This acts as a preservative. No oxygen means that the flavour of the coffee is retained, as long as the container is closed. That way you always get a fresh cup of coffee. Imported premium filter coffee is packaged in a material that is not 100% airtight.
Often it is vacuum packed, to extract as much of the oxygen as possible. This measure fails to eliminate oxygen completely. Staling of the coffee begins immediately. Depending on shipping dates, the coffee that is exported to South Africa can spend between two and six weeks at sea. Lets look at the worst case scenario. Six weeks.
Add to the six weeks a month to clear customs. The coffee then goes to a distribution warehouse, adding yet another month to its life. From the warehouse it could take up to a week to get to the wholesaler inland and stand on shelves in supermarkets for a month before landing in your shopping trolley. That adds up to a whopping 19 weeks since roasting!
Would you pay R20 for a 19 week old imported bread? Not likely.Why do we pay R200-R350 per kilogram for imported coffee, when the same and better can be purchased for R93.00, locally?
It just doesn't make sense. Perhaps South Africans are snobs? Perhaps we think that our country is incapable of producing anything great?
LOCAL IS FRESH ....... LOCAL IS LEKKA !!!!
