Focus on Kinetic Sports Centre
Also known to some as Biokinetic Centre, or Biokinetic Sports Centre, and formerly called Exercise & Nutrition Centre, this complex is in southern Rivonia on the corner of Rivonia Road and North Road, accessible from North Road. The services you can get here include Biokinetics by a qualified Biokineticist; physiotherapy; three options for personal fitness training (including by one of South Africa's authorities on bodybuilding); Aromatherapy and Swedish Massage; a hairdresser; and several options for skin, body, nails, and eyelashes.
In the centre there is a swimming school, called "Goof". Probably this was meant to be "goef", Afrikaans slang for "swim', not American "goof" as in "I made a silly mistake (with the name of my swimming school?)".
Readers who were paying attention will have noticed that Morningside Cycles moved out of this centre to Grosvenor Crossing, where they are now called "Cyclic". Their premises in Kinetic Sports Centre have been taken over by Cycle Tech who are also in Barbeque Downs. Cyclic are retailers of Yeti mountain bikes, so if you are a Yeti in need of a bicycle, visit them is Grosvenor Crossing.
If you need some refreshment after (or before!) your workout, Freda at Black Scottie Café can offer you breakfast and light meals ranging from the healthy to the decadent. There is also Lebanese Laffe, consisting of chilli, beef, or chicken, plus hummus in a Lebanese wrap. You will have to visit them to find out what a "Lebanese wrap" is.

DENTISTOdd Jobs – or Nominative Determinism?
"Chester Missing", the puppet animated by ventriloquist Conrad Koch, is,
well, missing in transit. Imagine the conversation as the airline tries to
understand Conrad's problem: "Yes, I know you said he is missing, but what is his
name?"

Restaurant Reviews by Judith Back to top
*** The Green Peppercorn, Morningside Shopping Centre
The menus have now been pasted into books - sad loss of the opening to the story, but a useful resource to have if the service is too slow! We dropped in for lunch and made some mistakes. We should have asked for the beverage menu as the ordered Ceylon tea was indeed Ceylon but an exotic black tea and not the one expected. The glass of red white, however, was more than acceptable.
I ordered the Bone Marrow and had to go through exactly what I didn't want with it, so ended up with salsa. The marrow was very good indeed and gloriously messy. It should have been served with a finger bowl!
The cheddar omelette was a big disappointment. Service by Llyod (is his name spelt right on the till slip?) was good. I did ask about the restaurant being more Banting friendly and was told that their attempt was a complete failure. The fact that the steak was served with polenta may be the reason. I did point out that this is not a Banting combination.
It's a pity. This restaurant used to be so good.

Funny Language, Mathematics...
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. “I’ll have a beer!” says the first one. “I’ll have half a beer!” says the second. “I’ll have a quarter of a beer!” says the third. “I’ll have an eighth!” says the fourth...
The bartender says, “You guys need to know your limits” and pours two beers.

Health News
Back to topWhat You Eat Affects Your Brain. There are a lot more diagnoses of learning disabilities in children over the last decades. ADD, ADHD, and a host of other symptoms are often treated with psychotropic drugs, but is this really the solution? Much research is linked to how children’s diets affect their brain health. The solution to help combat these disorders could very well lie in dietary changes as opposed to medication.
Essential nutrients for brain health include good fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. One of the best sources of good fats is omega-3 oil found in fish, nuts, seeds, and dark leafy greens. Great sources of healthy proteins are nuts and grains. Lean meats such as chicken and fish also contain good protein for brain health so long as they are not fried. Complex carbohydrates found in whole grains act as the energy source for the brain. Unfortunately, too many children are not supplying their brains with these kinds of nutrients.

Shopping Tips
Back to topBryanston's Nicolway Shopping Centre is having a Winter Sale, ending on Sunday 2 August. Shopping hours are 09:00-18:00 Monday to Saturday, and 09:00-15:00 on Sunday. What exactly is on sale, or what the discounts are, is unclear. To find out, you will have to go yourself and pay their exorbitant parking charges.
Talking of parking charges, in early July Rivonia Village decided to do away with the free half-hour and start charging from the first minute.
Motorists voted with their cars and parked all along Rivonia Boulevard instead. Now it seems that they have gone back to the free half hour. Morningside Shopping Centre is also charging from the first minute, and has not yet seen the error of its ways.Why do some shopping centres charge for parking at all? It's just a way to discourage shoppers! There is free parking for shoppers at Ninety Degrees, The Wedge, Morningview, Early Dawn, Rivonia Junction, Hobart Grove, all the "Crossing" centres, and many others.
