ED’S NOTE Firstly I have got to say it is good to be back! You know sometimes I just can’t stand the fact that it takes so long for us to chat again, but then I remember it gives the team more time to create top notch content for our valuable readers.

DUMMIES GUIDE TO YOUTUBE FAME

The rise of the popular video sharing website, YouTube, has seen a number of youngsters catapult from anonymity to global stardom. Teenage pop sensation Justin Bieber is a prime example. A few “babybaby-baby-oh’s” later and millions of girls were dancing to his tunes and confused boys everywhere were cutting their hair like the Biebs. We have hooked you up with a guide to instant YouTube fame.

Every time you upload a video, make sure to give it a brilliant title that best describes what you’re doing. It makes it easier for people to search for it on the web. YouTube has sharing capabilities that allow you to post your video on Facebook and Twitter. Although YouTube is not a social network, interacting with other users is essential for your

brand. Be active, subscribe to different YouTube channels (like ours!). There are a few things you’d better avoid unless you want your dreams to slide down the sewer. Make sure all your content is original and label your content accurately; don’t call your video “Lil Wayne dancing in his boxers” when it’s a video of you dancing around in your pyjamas (it just shows lack of creativity and ensures that no one will ever want to watch your videos again). Don’t beg celebrities to watch your videos (although sending them a tasteful shout-out on Twitter to check it out is cool). One thing you have to remember – don’t ever, even if dared, post rude videos. Leave the Jackass antics to Jonny Knoxville and Steve-O. Once you post something on the Internet it’s there forever. You don’t want to go down in history as the guy who stapled his tongue to a piece of paper and had to get it surgically removed. 6\Y ÄUHS WHY[PUN WPLJL VM HK]PJL MVY HSS I\KKPUN @V\;\IL Z[HYSL[Z! wish on a star and carry a horseshoe.

GOOGLE PLUS YOU We’ve reached system overload with the social media available to us. But luckily the smart techy people at Google had a massive brainstorm session and came up with a solution to our problems. Before you yawn and say, “Not another social media network I have to subscribe to!”–– read our ten-point guide.

“Invite friends or follow people, video chat, update a status or share a thought” you need: Google+ is everything in one: make friends or follow people, video chat, share a thought, watch YouTube videos, upload or tag pics straight from Picasa. That’s a plus!

is for pics: We all have those pictures that we don’t want the whole world to see, just the select few. For this, there is selective sharing. So if your mom uses Google + (unlucky for you) you can upload naughty pictures and your mom will be none the wiser.

DRIFTING WITH DJ READY D Vroom vroom - the sound a car makes when you rev it, but when it’s time to drift, a monster is brought to life…

Live magazine checked out the Street Mods’ (a place to customise your car) car show for some cool rides, cool sounds and cool people. From iconic muscle cars to the infamous Honda Civics, all was on show. We caught up with DJ Ready D to chat about his passion for drifting, a type of racing, and cars. Most guys love cars, so it didn’t surprise us when Ready D said his passion for cars came about when he was just a little boy. “I looked at my father, brother and the community, and I became fascinated with it.” This guy has a few rides; his favourite, the Nissan 200SX because it’s fun and it’s his drift car. “My dream car would have to be a Nissan Skyline GTR 34, which has to be tuned up by a company in 1HWHU JHSSLK ;VW :LJYL[ ¹ /PZ ÄYZ[ JHY ^HZ H -VYK *VY[PUH 3: M\SS` TVKPÄLK IV\NO[ ^P[O [OL ^PUUPUNZ VM OPZ ÄYZ[ +1 JVTWL[P[PVU We are all aware of the ongoing competition between German and Japanese cars, something which will probably not end anytime soon.

Ready D thinks Japanese cars are practically built for drivers and very comfortable. But hey, I’m sure the German car lovers would say the same thing. One of the main attractions at the car show was the drifting. Ready D is part of Drift Squad, a group of drivers who perform different routine drifts. For those who don’t know what drifting is, here’s the 411: When a driver drifts, he forces a car into a four-wheel turn slide through a turn at a race track. In a drifting competition, the driver who drifts the longest wins. This form of motor sport is relatively new in South Africa, with more and more sponsors gravitating towards it. “Drifting is like a performance and we choreograph it. This means we practise a lot.” Ready D and the Drift Squad are seriously against any form of illegal motor sport. “I think adrenalin junkies get a rush out of illegal drag racing or drifting and I don’t support it. It might look nice in movies, but in real life you can’t really take your skills to the max.”

“Drifting is like a performance and we choreograph it. This means we practise a lot.” Live asked Ready D what he thought about women and drifting and he’s very excited about it – his wife is also a drifter. “There are a lot of females waiting to get behind the wheel and it’s very important because this is not just a man’s world.”

“The Drift Squad is the only one with the only two female drifters on the continent. We have 40 members, of which there are two females, and we practise once a week. But we don’t only do the drifting, we also do various projects such as soup kitchens, toy runs and food hampers,” said General Manager, Ash Buxs.

We asked three people, whose names mean love in different languages, what their idea of love is and how their names have shaped who they are.

DESTINED

Thandolwethu Cagwe (Xhosa-Our Love)

What is your idea of love? “I believe in the biblical idea of Agape Love (Unconditional Love). Love that accepts and never changes.”

What is your idea of love? “It is something you feel from within. You don’t always have to be able to describe it... that’s how intense it is. But I know it’s a feeling one hopes will last forever.”

A NIGHT OUT WITH

ELECTRO BAND Goodluck has been making waves in the electro music scene for a couple of years now. The tracks “Taking It Easy” and “Hop On Hop Off” are pretty much what got them noticed. We took some time out to chill with the duo before their rocking performance at hot Cape Town nightclub, Trinity.

THE CLOSET AIN’T THAT COMFORTABLE 38

A closet: a cabinet reserved for possessions often forgotten or that you want “out of sight.” Imagine this closet in a busy area at the University of Cape Town (UCT). Imagine this closet as a representation, a metaphor perhaps, of the need to hide your sexuality, to keep it “out of sight”... Can you see this closet as the keeper of all your fears?

XENOPHOBIA: FRIENDSHIP ACROSS BORDERS “That evening was challenging because Leo had obviously distanced himself from me. I empathised with him because he had gone through so much pain. I wanted to help, but I couldn’t because he had put a wall between us,” says Zipho, a 25 year-old South African. Leo Kapembe is a Namibian national who came to South Africa to study. Unfortunately, he got caught up in the xenophobia attacks that swept through the country in 2008. The attacks almost jeopardised his friendship with APWOV OPZ ÄYZ[ MYPLUK PU :V\[O (MYPJH “It hurt because he was now accusing every South African for hating foreigners, but harder still was seeing Leo in that emotional state. At that point, what was I to do?” says Zipho. “Obviously I wanted to reach out to help him, but my fellow South Africans were causing problems in his life, knowing that a friend is hurting is bad enough.”

“Obviously I wanted to reach out to help him, but my fellow South Africans were causing problems in his life.” In perhaps the most violent period in South Africa’s history since the fall of apartheid, March to May of 2008 saw attacks on foreign nationals that left 62 dead and thousands of others with nowhere to go. Communities were shattered as innocent people were forced [V ÅLL VM[LU ^P[O UV[OPUN I\[ [OL JSV[OLZ VU their backs, as neighbours ransacked their belongings and many family members lost one another in the desperation to escape with their lives.

The attacks badly affected Leo’s relationship with his friends. “We don’t even go to the loxions (townships) anymore because we know that anything can happen.” Many foreigners still feel ill at ease about living in South Africa, in fear that they will fall victim once again to angry South African xenophobes. “I never came out of the house during the night. I was afraid of being attacked. My parents want me to come back to Namibia,” Leo laments. In the midst of all this, one has to ask, what happened to the idea of Ubuntu: I am because we are and because we are, you are?

“We don’t even go to the loxions anymore because we know that anything can happen.” We should all strive to help each other. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all go wherever we wanted; to eat and live and love and laugh without causing harm? If we all had one dream, we could live in a happy nation,” says Zipho.

The rainbow nation, it seems, has turned its back on its needy African neighbours and this has made it hard for foreigners to trust locals. “When it comes to trusting the locals, I think there is a line drawn now,” Leo says matter-of-factly. “We just say, you are dealing with a South African, be careful.’’ Zipho is disheartened by all that has happened and she resents countrymen’s negative sentiments towards foreigners. “I am a South African citizen and I don’t have any problems with foreigners. My best friend is from Namibia.” But Zipho remains scared to speak to her friend in English when they are in public. He is scared that they will be victimised, as a black person who speaks English is easily picked up for a foreigner, and this can have deadly consequences for their safety.

NATION: Thokozile Mahlangu delves into the little-known world of coffee addiction

Coffee addiction? Really? Seriously? These are some of the comments ordinary folk bandied about on coffee addiction, a condition that affects a surprising number of people. The world consumes an estimated 400 billion cups of coffee each year and millions of the planet’s inhabitants are abnormally tolerant and dependant on caffeine - the active chemical component in coffee - to function. Considered the most commonly used psychoactive drug in the world, caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and increases what Medics refer to as the “stress hormones” in the blood stream, resulting in the user feeling unnaturally alert. This lift is called induced alertness. Until two months ago, Sphiwe Khanye, a hard-working 19 year-old student from Kwamhlanga in Mpumalanga, was a coffee junkie – one of approximately 60% of caffeine dependant adults in South Africa. For Sphiwe, constant coffee drinking began as a habit and developed while she was striving to be the top-dog in her grade12 class. Sleeping for a modest three hours

She developed an irregular heartbeat, dark circles HYV\UK OLY L`LZ HUK HSZV ILNHU L_WLYPLUJPUN KPMÄJ\S[` concentrating in class. Panicked by what was happening, she consulted a doctor. The doctor explained that excessive intake of caffeine, not only found in coffee but also in appetite suppressants and pain medications, can lead to high blood pressure, insomnia, depression and anxiety. Other long term effects include yellowing teeth, migraines, mood instability, and mental dullness, and for some people, constipation. With her health on the line, Sphiwe began reducing her daily coffee intake substantially, replacing it with herbal tea. However, the road to recovery hasn’t been easy. She reports experiencing withdrawal symptoms: a tingling sensation here and there, heaviness, and an inability to concentrate at times; but according to her, it’s absolutely worth it. For some time now researchers have worried about the effects of caffeine. Even though coffee addiction is not one of the most talked about issues, the rate of caffeine dependant individuals is rapidly increasing and it’s about time we brought this issue to our attention.

LAZY GUIDE TO HEALTH You know you’re carrying a “cooler bag� –– beer belly –– when you’re too scared to open the fridge and the sight of your Humpty Dumpty frame makes you quiver with shame. If you can relate, try following Refentse’s 5-day workout plan to have you looking like a tall glass of hot chocolate rather than yesterday’s slap chips!

Day one

I had a heavy lunch to make sure I don’t run low on energy, but waited for a few hours before hitting the gym to avoid cramps.

Day three

I’ve decided to rest today. I have pasta and mince for breakfast. I am on a high-carb diet by the way, need extra carbs to gain muscle mass. I have a protein shake for lunch and dinner, with fruit and a peanut butter sandwich in between (peanuts slow down muscle breakdown so you have longer pumps).

My workout started with a 10-minute jog on My body is sore but hey, muscle growth the treadmill to warm up. I moved on to three needs rest. sets of squats, hamstring pulls, leg extensions and calf raises.

Day four

I concluded my workout with crunches and a light stretch. Afterwards, I had a protein shake for dinner.

Day two

Today’s breakfast was heavier than yesterday’s. It consisted of 3 eggs, basted ÄZO H WPLJL VM JOPJRLU IYV^U IYLHK and coffee. Loading up for the day (very important). For lunch I had a light tuna sandwich (tuna helps with muscle growth) and a fruit juice, staying away from soda. I hit the gym in the afternoon. I started with a 10-minute cycle session to warm up, then moved on to three sets of the following: lat pull downs to the chest, shoulder press, bicep curls and triceps pull downs.

I end my workout with crunches and stretching. For dinner, I have another protein shake.

Words Refentse Sebothoma 23

I repeat what I did on day one, but I’ve upped things a bit by adding an extra 10 -20kgs to the weights. My breakfast includes cereal and coffee (I kinda think I’m a coffee addict and this is not good). I try not to overeat but nibble throughout the day, sustaining my energy levels.

Day five

I break my workout down into more intensive sessions. Today I did heavy lifting on my JOLZ[ ILUJO WYLZZ Ă…`LYZ I\UN ILSS WYLZZ and triceps (pull downs, push downs) followed by lunges and crunches and a stretch for warm down. I will be repeating everything I did during the week and this will be my routine for the next couple of months. I rest on weekends.

LIVE READS Simphiwe Dana shares books that have impacted her life.

In my Teenage Years

When I was 12 I found Steve Bantu Biko’s I Write What I Like; a book that would help me understand the spiritual emasculation of Africans by apartheid in South Africa. It would help me understand the feelings of inadequacy that plagued my existence and that of other Africans around me. It would help me understand the depth of the dehumanization that Africans went through. It would help me avoid all kinds of traps that one could fall into as a result of living in a repressed society. Biko freed me.

As a kid

When I was around the age of nine I found this book in our library that changed my outlook on life – Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

Adulthood

This is the story of Okwonkwo, a man growing up in staunchly patriarchal Africa, who lives to experience the evil of colonialism and the loss of his power (manhood). The beauty and the ugliness of the African culture as pertaining to our way of life, and the treatment of women, is laid bare in this haunting classic.

I found Initiation by Elisabeth Haich in a second-hand bookstore when I was 20. She spoke of past lifetimes and how it is all one long journey. She spoke of choices and how we pre-plan our life experiences. She spoke of the movements of the stars and how they give birth to epochs, and how, in turn, those epochs bring about new waves of consciousness. She brought religions into the mould HUK L_WSHPULK OV^ [OL` Ä[ PU[V [OL grand design of things. I would never be the same again.

This book taught me to be rebellious to cultural expectations that had a negative impact on my growth and freedoms as a woman. It also taught me the beauty of the African way of life, the seamless interaction between life and the spirit world.

Book of the Month The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky Publisher: Barnes & Noble (1999) Structured in the form of letters addressed to an anonymous friend, Stephen Chbosky’s ;OL 7LYRZ VM )LPUN H >HSSÅV^LY explores the awkward age of adolescence. This is the story of what it’s like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie’s letters are singular, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, he is put on a strange course through uncharted territory. The novel will spirit you back to those wild and agonising roller coaster days known as growing up. [MC]

RANDOM

I’M NOT RACIST, BUT... It’s lovely living in SA now that apartheid is over. Among many other freedoms, the humourist in me is grateful for the fact that we can now freely mock people from all races and not be thrown in jail for it.

So, I’ve compiled a list of funny, whatchamacallit, stereotypes, many inspired by the hilarious (and possibly controversial) book, The Racist’s Guide to The People Of South Africa by Simon Kilpatrick.
