They live in mountains and groves, by springs and rivers, also in trees and in valleys and cool grottoes. They are frequently associated with the superior divinities: the huntress Artemis; the prophetic Apollo; the reveller and god of wine, Dionysus; and rustic gods such as Pan and Hermes.

And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Rich in blessings.

May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

Quote of the Week
“We must remember that former President Nelson Mandela was a constitutionalist. He believed, in his own words, that the Constitution was a “sacred covenant”. Like all true democrats, Mandela knew that real liberation requires the powerful to be bound by a constitution that limits their power. Without his leadership, our nation’s founding compact – which puts power in the hands of the people instead of the politicians – would never have emerged.”

Helen Zille in her recent SA Today Newsletter, ‘We must honour Mandela by upholding his values’

And what values does our ex State-President hold true!
The Constitution of our land - bloody marvelous.

Speaking at the 2010 soccer World Cup education summit in Pretoria yesterday, President Jacob Zuma said: "What an experience it has been for us as a country.

"Africa will never be the same again after this. We should now be judged on merit. We have proved once and for all that we can organise events of any kind," he said.

"We succeeded in hosting the World Cup without glitches because of the work done by the structures put in place and the soccer family of this country. They did a wonderful job."

Fifa president Sepp Blatter agreed: "I have spent seven weeks in this country and in the name of the footballing community may I take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the people of South Africa for a job well done in its organising abilities.

"South Africa has proved to the world that it is able to organise an event of this nature. And the trust that Fifa had put in this country has been answered with a big, big success."

Blatter said that, during the tournament, more than 18000 international journalists had been writing, blogging and broadcasting about South Africa's ability to host a good World Cup.

But commentators have said that now that the country has proved what it can do, it must act in the same determined way to deliver services to its people.

Today is the last day before...

...World Cup Soccer Final - are you there?
