It’s such a drag! Anti-Smoking Law leaves bars and restaurants feeling floored TENERIFE’S bar owners and restaurateurs are already struggling to cope with the tough new AntiSmoking Law, which came into force on Sunday 2nd January. It is said to be the most stringent in Europe, and has left them feeling “defenceless”. That’s because the owners are held responsible if a customer decides to light up inside, even though they have no legal powers to stop them, and can’t even order them out of the premises. Should a person inside a bar light up and the bar is reported, the owner faces a fine of anything up to 600,000 euros. The new law forbids smoking in any indoor public place except for prisons, psychiatric hospitals, sports stadia, bullrings - and a maximum of 30% of hotel rooms. Also, no smoking is permitted in children’s parks or outside health centres, nor in the playgrounds or other outside areas of educational centres attended by under-18s. But people in the hostelry industry over here and in Spain as a whole - mainly those in restaurants, bars and café-bars - anticipate losing a huge amount of business because around half of their customers are smokers. They also say they need some way of “looking after” customers’ drinks and food while they nip outside for a cigarette, given the risk of beverages being spiked. In addition to loss of business, they say they are now faced with a massive legal burden that they consider impossible to comply with.
In fact, within two days of the new law being introduced, consumer group FACUA had received 700 complaints from people failing to comply. Many bar and restaurant owners say they have had to ask customers to stop smoking, but in most cases they say they lit up out of habit and stubbed their cigarettes out apologetically. The majority of the complaints relate to hospitals and health centres, which have failed to remove ashtrays from outside their doors. There are also cases emerging of bars which refuse to

enforce the Government’s new legislation. One local bar owner was overheard telling a customer: “I’m English and so are my customers, and I’m turning a blind eye to the ban. It’s ridiculous.” Another couple running a bar in Las Americas plan to install heaters on their terrace outside so that their regulars can smoke. Fernando Tegedor, who runs a bar in Castellón is defending his “private business” and has ignored the law. He says that if any of his customers are bothered by the smoke, he will make a table available for
them on the terrace. “It’s either that or we are ruined,” said anxious Fernando, who has already received a denuncia from the police. He claims that 90% of his clients are smokers, and that his takings fell by 80% on the first day of the prohibition. He has also made a call for other bars and restaurants across the country to boycott the law. ‘If we unite, one by one and another and another, they cannot do anything’, he told Canal 9 TV. A bar owner in Cáceres, who needed 16 stitches in a wound to his forehead after a fight
broke out when he tried to stop a client from smoking, believes there will be plenty more altercations over the contentious issue. Conversely, drinkers who can’t stand the smell and annoyance of smoke were happy to sit outside. Now, they say, they are being harassed by all the fumes. Yet some are more than happy with the new law. Pharmacists are reporting that already, more smokers are asking for the products to help them give up the weed, and manufacturers of outside terrace-heaters say they have
sold out at after an unexpected rush in sales. More than 300 people were reported in the first 24 hours for failing to comply with the law, and there is a feeling that several bars will be forced to close unless the owners can find a solution soon. The danger signs have already been spelled out in the UK, where more than 50 pubs a week have closed since the no-smoking ban, which came into force in July 2007. See the legal viewpoint from our Lawyer on pg 10.

The tide turns for Zapatero
New Year’s Eve sword attack
Government’s austerity measures are already showing good signs THE Spanish Government’s unpopular austerity measures, approved only narrowly in Parliament last month, are already proving to be worthwhile. The measures include higher sales taxes and an average 5% cut to public workers’ wages, but welcome news came on Tuesday when the Government announced it had beaten its deficit-cutting target for 2010. Unemployed numbers have also had fallen for the first time in five months, and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero predicts his Socialist Government will also meet this year’s deficit goal. It pledged to lower the public deficit from 11.1% of output in 2009 to 9.3% in 2010, and 6% this year. In addition, Zapatero promised to reduce the deficit to below the 3% European Union limit by 2013. In an interview with Onda Cero radio on Tuesday, the Prime Minister told listeners: “Of course we will meet the deficit target of 6% in 2011, just as we set the goal of reducing the deficit in 2010 to 9.3%. And today, I can say that we are going to be somewhat better than the objective we set.” He is also convinced that Spain’s semi-autonomous regions, which have racked up large deficits, will comply with their 2011 goals. Despite stagnant growth and high unemployment, the Government pushed through its austerity measures to reduce the deficit, and it is already having a positive

impact on the fragile economy. The Government has stressed time and again that its accumulated public debt is below the European Union limit of 60% of annual output, or gross domestic product. It rose to 57.7% of GDP at the end of September from 53.2% at the end of 2009. The Spanish economy, fifthlargest in the EU, nosedived into recession during the second half of 2008 as the global financial meltdown compounded the collapse of the once-booming building industry. It emerged with minor growth of just 0.1% in the first quarter of 2010, and 0.2% in the second, but then stalled with zero growth in the third. The crisis sent the unemployment rate soaring to a EU high of nearly 20%, but the
Labour Ministry said on Tuesday that the unemployed numbers fell for the first time for five months in December. Just over four million people registered as jobless last month, down 10,221 (0.25%) from November, which was the biggest decline for December since 2000. But against the total of a year ago, the figure was still up 4.5%. Zapatero added on radio: “December is normally a weak month, so if unemployment lowered in December, it is a good jobless figure.” Raj Badiani, an analyst with IHS Global Insight, feels the overall jobless rate will start edging up again because, despite the figure being better than expected, it may have been because of “seasonal factors”. He added: “Our main concern is that employment cre-
ation is likely to be negligible in the first half of 2011, as the austerity measures begin to cull public-sector jobs, with private-sector employment failing to pick up the slack.” The Government introduced hotly-contested labour market reforms last year that cut the country’s high cost of firing workers. It gave companies more flexibility to reduce working hours and staff levels in economic downturns, with Zapatero arguing that it would boost job creation. The Prime Minister believes the fourth quarter of 2010 will have recorded positive growth, which will keep rolling on this year, He warns that job creation will be “slow and progressive”. but his Government forecasts an economic expansion of 1.3% this year.
Job creation
Fisheries, Tourism and Planning and Sustainability, Planning and the Environment, among others. 48 percent of these workers are women and 52 percent men aged between 16 and 62 years from almost all municipalities of the island The priority in selecting staff are those who are long term unemployed, people at risk of social exclusion, young people seeking their first job and families.
The Cabildo has hired a total of 452 unemployed individuals to carry out a total of 16 projects in accordance with one of the main priorities provided by the Canary Island Employment Service. The planned investment for this initiative amounts to 4.8 million euros and will allow

the hiring of the unemployed for a period of six months. For the next year the Cabildo will be hiring a total of 850 unemployed workers, 2010 closed with more than 1,100 contract workers. The various projects are related to different areas such as City Council, Water, Agriculture, Livestock and
Speaking about his ordeal for the first time, the father-ofone said his heroism was down to “natural instinct” to protect friends and family, including his 27-year-old daughter Leanne. He needed 178 stitches after being repeatedly slashed across his arm and underwent emergency surgery to repair a severed artery from which he almost bled to death. Gary was told by medics he was lucky not to have died or at the very least lost his arm. He will need further medical treatment in Sheffield. “It was absolutely unbelievable what happened that night - we were a group of friends, family and children enjoying New Years Eve in a really quiet part of Tenerife when we saw the landlord of our bar ushering two men outside,” said Gary. “Just minutes later somebody shouted ‘he’s back’ and that he was armed with a pool cue then somebody shouted that it wasn’t a cue but a sword. “I can remember it vividly - he was waving it wildly above his head like a madman as he was climbing up the steps to get to the bar. “One of my friends grabbed a chair and threw it at his legs to try to topple him and it worked and he fell backwards, but then he came forward again right towards where my daughter and friend’s kids were. There were a lot of women and kids in the bar and I didn’t think about anything other than stopping him. “It was natural instinct, I just picked up a chair and ran at him trying to push him down the stairs because I thought he was going to kill somebody. “I remember feeling my arm hurt and I looked down and could see blood spurting out
everywhere and the man with the sword ran off.” Gary was on a winter break in Tenerife among a party of 27 and had been enjoying New Years Eve celebrations in the Britannia Inn in the resort of Playa Paraiso when the sword-wielding man tried to storm the venue. Owls fan Gary, a long-time season ticket holder known on the terraces as Bull, discharged himself from hospital on Monday to watch Sheffield Wednesday’s televised game against Huddersfield but said he is still in extreme pain. “I have lost count of the amount of morphine they have given me for the pain,” he said. He flew back home to Sheffield three days after the ordeal but he has been told he will have to return to Tenerife when the case reaches court if Spanish police catch his attacker. “The police have said that once they track the man down they will invite me and some friends who gave statements about what they saw back to Tenerife as guests of the Spanish Government to help with the prosecution case,” he added. Lee Bedson, who owns the pub where the attack happened, described Gary as a “hero” for protecting his staff and customers to prevent anyone getting hurt or killed. Speaking from Tenerife, he said: “First and foremost the word ‘hero’ is a perfect word for Gary -I couldn’t think of any other word to describe what he did that night. “As for the bar, we are entering our tenth year now and this is our first incident ever since we opened. What happened that night was something you would hope to see only in the movies, but now it is over it’s something we will never forget. “All I can say is thank you Gary for doing something a lot of men would not dream of. He truly is one of life’s heroes. “There was little damage to the bar only pride. Gary would like to say thank you for all the support and good wishes and looks forwarding to seeing them on his next visit to Tenerife.

Help us solve the riddle of Elfriede
HAPPY NEW YEAR. This time of year allows us to reflect on the year that has just passed and look forward to the coming twelve months. It provides the majority of us with renewed vigour to tackle life’s challenges and some of us get around to those things that we have been procrastinating over for months and years. My New Year inbox had an interesting email in it – and by writing about it in my column I hope to make one person’s New Year wish come true. Do you know a woman in her eighties called Elfriede Horbas, who may be living in Tenerife? If so, you will make another old lady extremely happy! Virginia Taylor is anxious to trace the woman, who is Austrian and travelled on a British passport. She is apparently living somewhere in the Canary Islands. She moved here around 14 years ago and Virginia’s mother, who is unwell, really wants to contact her old friend, whose birthday is on
The Three Kings The main street in Adeje was just one municipality celebrating the arrival of the three kings on the 5th January. The three kings arrived in style, arriving by helicopter to the football stadium, but that was only the beginning of an evening full of surprises. Once rested, the Kings began the Grand Parade, which toured the streets culminating in the Plaza de Espana. The three kings distributed more than 1000 kilos of sweets in a massive parade that had an estimated record attendance of 22,000 people.
Monday (10th Jan) when she will be either 85 or 87. Virginia writes: “I have contacted the Embassy in Madrid and this was their response: “The only suggestion we can make is that you attempt to locate the person via the Spanish Telephone Company’s white pages on-line via www.telefonica.es (the page may be converted to English). If this proves unsuccessful, then you may wish to consider seeking the services of a private detective agency on the Canary Islands, which you may locate via www.google.es I trust this information will assist.” Actually, it doesn’t, and a somewhat baffled Virginia adds: “I have tried to find my way around www.telefonica.es but I could not get to anywhere in there that lets me look up phone numbers. It would make my mother so happy if any of your readers could locate her.” The two old friends met in England and both emigrated to Australia some years later. But when Elfriede moved on to the Canaries, they lost touch with each other. If you believe you know Elfriede Horbas, please contact Virginia by email on rvtaylor2@bigpond.com Until next week…

Smooth talking homeless man finds fame A HOMELESS man in the US has become an internet hit after using his “God-given gift of voice” to beg for money. Ted Williams was spotted by a videographer in Columbus, Ohio and filmed delivering his smooth baritone for spare change. The video of him giving voiceover lines has been viewed over 400,000 times and he is being chased to appear on several television chat shows. In it he says he become obsessed with radio as a teenager after meeting a station announcer who looked nothing like his voice would suggest. “He said to me: ‘Radio is defined as theatre of mind’,” Williams added. “I can’t be an actor, I can’t be an on-air personality. The voice became something of a development.”
Williams said he attended broadcasting school but problems with alcohol, drugs and “a few other things” ended his ambitions. He now claims to have been sober for two years and begs for money with a sign saying: “I have a God-given gift of voice. “I’m an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times. Please! Any help will be greatly appreciated.” Local newspaper the Columbus Dispatch says Williams is wanted by WBNSTV to narrate promotional spots during its first ever ‘One Day To End Homelessness’ telethon on Jan 31. He has also received a $10,000 (£6,398) offer for voiceover work from the Ohio Credit Union League. “We’re on pins and needles,” said Tony Florentino from local radio station WNCI. “I think he really has no idea how big this is going to be.”
Unemployment figures end year at rock-bottom SPAIN’S jobless figures escalated up by 176,470 last year, leaving the dole queue standing at 4.1 million - the highest since records began in 1996. Although 2009 was a bad year, the number of people made redundant in 2010 was up by 4.5%, which demonstrates quite clearly that the recovery is still a long way off. Yet dole office statistics show that jobseeker numbers fell slightly in December, possibly because
of more temporary work being available over the Christmas period. More women than men lost their last year, a total of 136,000 - a 7% rise - joining the jobseeker queue and 41,000 men, which was a 2% increase. Despite a total of 14.4 million new job contracts being given out last year - an increase of 2.8% on 2009 only 1.2 million of these were fixed, and the others were temporary.

Tourists on the increase in November
TENERIFE IN November registered an increase of 7.31 percent tourists, with a total of 398,982 tourists staying, representing an increase over the same month last year. Provisional figures for incoming tourism statistics prepared by the City Council and discussed by the Research Department of Tourism of Tenerife, note that both the hotel and the non-hotel sector saw an
increase their customer traffic. The first vice president and chief Cabildo Insular de Turismo, José Manuel Bermúdez, appreciated the data despite the the controllers’ strike and closing European airports by bad weather. The result has been especially favoured “by the dynamism of foreign markets that are showing a rise of 2.68 percent in the year to date.” The Spanish market has a positive figure of 1.52 percent so far in 2010, despite the downward trend in recent months.
In November there were 3,256,466 overnight stays, a 8.63 percent increase over the same period last year. Occupancy stood at 61.97 percent, 12.85 percent higher than the rate recorded in the same month in 2009. The average stay was 8.16 days, 0.10 points more than last year. Until November visitors increased by 2.32 per cent, with a total balance of 4,427,653 tourists in the first eleven months of the year. Tenerife has registered 33,225,417 overnight stays and keeps a rise of 0.36 percent so far for 2010.
Record breaking Siam Park ride
Visitor Franz Meyer, 91 years of age and a native of Germany, broke a new record at the Siam Park this week to become the oldest person that has been down the ‘Tower of Power’, which is considered to be the longest slide in Europe - 28 meters high. Despite his 91 years, Meyer climbed the 160 steps to reach the top of this attraction, where you can see a panoramic view of South
Tenerife. From there he was launched down the slide where you can reach speeds of up to 80 miles per hour, providing a feeling of free fall.
However, before falling into the pool you go through the interior of a methacrylate tube 18 meters long that crosses an aquarium containing several species of sharks.

Wine bottle enjoys that Oscar taste A REVOLUTIONARY wine bottle, designed by a Spanish company, has been awarded the Oscar de l’emballage in Paris. The bottle is based on a kind of false bottom, with a lip at the base, which acts in the same way as a decanter by trapping impurities and stopping them reaching the glass. It was dreamed up by Costa Brava family firm
Estalpackaging, and has been developed in collaboration with top Spanish chef, Martín Berasategui. Now, with its top accolade, the Martín Berasategui System is set to stand the wine-making trade on its head! The company has been experimenting for months in search of the perfect wine bottle, and has finally tasted the sweet bouquet of success.
Playa San Juan - two new luxury hotels
Grave robbers may be Satanists A SATANIC group could be responsible for looting five graves at the Arico cemetery and making off with the remains of seven bodies. The desecration was discovered on New Year’s Day when a local woman went to lay flowers at her graves of her relatives, and police are now hunting for the people responsible. Local Mayor Eladio Morales said the damaged graves were the oldest in the cemetery. One held the remains of two brothers, who died
Page 06
after a flu epidemic in 1920, while the others dated back to the Thirties. The Mayor, who believes it is the work of a satanic sect based elsewhere on the island, recalled another incident four years ago when grave robbers stole ‘parts’ of bodies. He also said that dead hens and other animals had been found outside the cemetery from time to time. The local Town Hall cannot afford to employ permanent security at the cemetery, but is understood to be negotiating with private security firms for video cameras to be installed.
The coast of Guía de Isora, and more specifically the coastal village of Playa de San Juan, will have two new luxury hotels, following a decision on Tuesday 4th January by local government. The Mayor of Guía de Isora, Pedro Martín, said, “This new project will build two luxury hotels which will have 1,100 beds and a specialized center of thalassotherapy. As pointed out by the
mayor of Guía de Isora they have spent several years negotiating, according to the criteria set the objective is to accommodate only a few hotels, and all of 5 star quality. So, the two hotels will be in Playa San Juan as a result of lengthy negotiations in which, after approval of the General Management Plan has been carried out by the Local Government the administrative process will then begin. The Mayor pointed out that with this project for Guía de Isora will not only give a
boost to an important area, which is the closest to the main town of Playa San Juan, but also to improve the resources available, especial-
ly the beach area. No dayes have yet been given as to when building will commence or any indication as to the owner of the hotels.
Boatful of migrants held THE first patera boat to reach the Canary Islands for more than two months arrived in Lanzarote on Wednesday, carrying 56 migrants. Of the occupants, who all seemed fit and well, at least 23 were possibly juveniles, and bone-density testing is
being carried out to sort out the under-age youngsters. The seven-metre boat, picked up by the island’s electronic surveillance system, was intercepted as it approached the north of Lanzarote, about five miles from Arrieta.

MARIANO E ZUNINO SIRI Understanding the Law Email: marianozunino@canarianweekly.com
Anti-Smoking Law so unfair! I DO not smoke, but I do not agree with the famous Anti-Smoking Law (or Anti-Tobacco Law) because I believe the Law should protect the rights of smokers and people who do not smoke. Previously, if you went in to a bar, you were allowed to choose whether or not you smoked. But the law is the law and today, I am going to talk about some aspects of it. The Anti-Tobacco Law is, in fact, Law 42/2010 of 30th December 2010 and came into force on Sunday. It is a modification to the existing Law 28/2005 and is very restrictive in relation to the places where smoking is allowed. It sets tough sanctions on
Page 10
the premises and hotels which previously allowed people to smoke inside. That means there are now few places where you can smoke: at home and in outdoor places, such as terraces limited by a maximum of two walls. But not in children’s playgrounds or hospital gardens. True, hotels can reserve 30% of rooms, but the only places where you know you can puff away to your heart’s content now are the Smokers’ Clubs (Club de Fumadores). But, bearing in mind the restrictions now imposed on smokers, to obtain a licence for a Club de Fumadores may not be not so easy. A Club de Fumadores has to be legally incorporated, with a Foundation Act, members, payment of duties, Statutes, etc, and smoking will be allowed inside only if members (partners) are present, Consequently, if there are
only visitors inside, or people invited by club members, no one would be allowed to smoke (the law is not clear on this aspect). And the club must be a non-profit organisation. I have read that there are
many bars attempting to become Smokers’ Clubs. If the bar is a Smoker Club, then the clients would be members of the private club, and under-18s would not be allowed in. I wonder how the bar can be a non-profitable
association! Article 7 of Law 28/2005 is now modified by Law 42/2010 and mentions all the places where smoke is forbidden. These are listed from A to X and include schools, offices (public or private), sports centres, ballrooms, airports, bars, etc. The exception is outdoor places, but sometimes it could be difficult to determine the meaning of such places. What really brings the new law to my attention is the high amount of “very serious offences”, where fines of up to 600,000 euros could be imposed. Like many laws there are “minor offences”, “serious offences” and “very serious offences”. In many cases concerning these other laws, serious offences are more dangerous or more destructive than smoking. yet the corresponding maximum fine is
much lower than 600,000 euros. Minor offences carry fines from 30-600 euros, serious offences from 60-10,000 euros, while very serious fines range from 10,001 up to 600,000 euros. I have experience of many administrative cases (not referring to this new law), in which the fines are normally levied at the maximum level. The question is how the Administration can fix a fine with such a wide minimummaximum range, from 10,000 up to 600,000 euros, or even from 600 up to 10,000 euros. And a Happy New Year to readers!

A flu vaccine shortage hits parts of UK
The VAT rate has increased to 20% to boost budget VAT has gone up 2.5% in a move that the Treasury hopes will raise an extra £13bn in tax.
THE GOVERNMENT has admitted some parts of the country are experiencing a shortage of the flu vaccine. Suppliers are being asked to gather any spare flu jabs licensed for use in the UK from factories across Europe. The Department of Health issued a statement after reports of patients being unable to get jabs from their local GP surgery. A spokeswoman for the Department insisted there is “no national shortage” but admitted some areas are experiencing “local supply issues”. Around 14.5 to 15 million doses of seasonal flu vaccine are ordered by GPs in England every year. The Department of Health hopes local shortages can be resolved through surgeries with too much vaccine offering it to others suffering shortages. A spokeswoman said: “There is no national shortage of
Page 12
seasonal flu vaccine. “Primary care trusts (PCTs) are working with their GPs to ensure that local supply issues are resolved locally where possible. “The Department continues to liaise closely with strategic health authorities (SHAs) to ensure that the NHS is managing winter pressures effectively.” Flu has been striking the under-65s, with relatively high rates in youngsters under 15. The most recent figures on numbers of deaths, published on New Year’s Eve, showed 39 people in the UK have died with flu since the start of the outbreak in October. Overall, 38 of the 39 victims were aged under 65, with four aged under five. And the number of UK workers calling in sick is fast approaching the two million mark each day following the Christmas break. The Government has so far resisted calls for a national vaccination programme of young children, as was carried out last year for swine flu.
The increase will see the rate rise from 17.5% to 20% meaning an extra 2.13p added ito products that had previously been sold for £1. Officials hope it will help reduce the deficit between government income and expenditure which is forecast to reach £155bn by the end of 2011. It is expected the price of a litre of petrol will increase by an average of 3p, and a television which previously sold for £450 will be subject to another £10 in VAT. The taxman will take another £320 on a mid-range car which was priced at £15,000, but there should be no change to prices for food and children’s clothes which are exempt from VAT prices. Different retailers are making varying promises about absorbing the cost of the VAT increase. Debenhams said it will only start to charge the higher VAT rate on new season stock; Tesco said it would freeze the price of all nonfood products until January 25th; Asda said that its customers would “hardly notice a thing”; while Superdrug has promised to freeze prices on all its own-branded goods. Retail analyst, Natalie Berg said: “The obvious impact of not passing on the VAT is that their profit margins will take a hit as a result - the majority
of retailers will look to pass on the VAT rise to consumers in some shape or form.” But she said that many shoppers are unlikely to notice a difference. “Often the psychological effect is greater than the reality. “A few years ago the Government reduced VAT as a way to stimulate spending and nobody really noticed. “It’s only now that prices are going up that shoppers are taking an interest.” The previous government’s discount VAT rate of 15% came to an end last January after it failed to stimulate consumer spending as had been hoped. But the Labour leader Ed Miliband said that increasing VAT again is “going too far too fast”. “When family budgets are already squeezed, now is not the time for a VAT rise to make it even harder to make ends meet,” he said. He said the Government
should apologise for “misleading” voters as both parties said they had no plans to increase the tax. “George Osborne should stop treating the British people like fools,” Mr Miliband told reporters. “He claimed that this VAT rise was fair - but David Cameron admitted before the election that VAT rises were unfair. “Everybody knows it’s poor and middle-income families that will be hit hardest.” But the Chancellor, George Osborne denied VAT was a less progressive tax than other options and said his policy of debt reduction would restore confidence in the economy. He said: “Labour left Britain with record debts that people know we have to deal with to avoid an economic crisis. “VAT is a powerful weapon to tackle debt and if we don’t use it then the spending cuts
would be over £13bn pounds bigger.” Retailers and service providers warn that thousands of jobs will be lost when they are forced to increase their prices. The Office of Budget Responsibility has concluded that the increase will shave 0.3% off economic growth of between 1.5 and 2% for the next year. “There’s no way I can see it pushing us into a double dip but it is a lot of money going out of the economy,” George Bull, Head of Taxation at Baker Tilly said. “The Chancellor has been thinking out loud about whether the private sector could could take up some of the slack in job losses caused by public sector spending cuts,” Mr Bull said. “But if the shadow Chancellor is right, the VAT increase is going to suck out the capacity from the economy to increase jobs.”

Facebook’s value swells FACEBOOK has been valued at nearly as much as web veterans Yahoo and eBay combined, after a cash injection from Goldman Sachs and Digital Sky Technologies. The £32.2bn ($50bn) valuation comes after the two financial institutions invested £322m in the social networking website. The US bank put in £290m while the Moscow-based investment firm added £32m. Digital Sky Technologies (DST) previously invested £192m in Facebook, when the company was worth onefifth its current value in 2009. Goldman Sachs and DST plan to raise an additional £646m ($1bn) for the technology company, according to a Reuters source. Its success over social networking rivals such as Twitter has been attributed to the way it allows advertisers to reach target audiences. David Smith from the Interactive Media in Retail Group said: “Facebook in itself becomes almost like a walled garden.
In the box son! Giggsy makes a fitness DVD THE WORLD of workout DVDs has an unlikely new star in the shape of veteran Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs.
“Particularly in our industry, in retail, you’ve got lots and lots of retailers using Facebook to communicate with their consumers.” Internet retailer Amazon has 488,570 followers on its Page. Despite saying it has no interest in a flotation until late 2012, the deals have raised questions on the Silicon Valley firm being
07 January 2011 - 13 January 2011
forced to list on the stock exchange. This is because US financial regulations require that firms with 500 or more shareholders file as public companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Analysts say this threshold will be reached through the fund Goldman Sachs will create to allow clients to invest
in the technology firm. Facebook overtook search engine Google to become the most visited website in the US in 2010 and was also the most-searched term, according to Experian Hitwise. The social networking site, which has half a billion users, was started by 19-year-old Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg in 2004.
The 37-year-old released his Giggs Fitness: Power & Strength Through Yoga DVD today and it is expected to become a best-seller. Pre-sales demand meant it was already in the top 20 best-selling fitness DVDs last week. It is up against more traditional names like Jane Fonda, Davina McCall, Claire Nasir and Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard. HMV’s Gennaro Castaldo said more men were buying celebrity workout DVDs now. As a high-profile and respected footballer, who has always looked after himself and set a fantastic example to others, he must be wellplaced to appeal to quite a few health-conscious guys, and so capitalise on this growing trend. HMV’s Gennaro Castaldo He said: “It may have something to do with the fact interactive console games are proving an increasingly effective way to improve levels of
fitness in the home. “It’s interesting that Ryan Giggs is about to release his own fitness DVD, which has been pre-ordering really well online at hmv.com. “As a high-profile and respected footballer, who has always looked after himself and set a fantastic example to others, he must be wellplaced to appeal to quite a few health-conscious guys, and so capitalise on this growing trend.” Manchester United’s most decorated player and appearance record- holder, Giggs was crowned PFA Player of the Year and BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2009. The current best-seller, according to figures released by HMV, is Step Up: The Official Dance Workout, which is based on moves from the hit dance film.

Schooners for beer and cider
BRITISH PUBS and bars could soon be able to sell beer and cider in “schooner” glasses under Government moves to change alcohol measures. Although pints and halves will still be sold, Australianstyle schooners - which are about two thirds the size of a pint - would be available for the first time. Rules for wine are also set to change, with servings to be made available in 50ml and 70ml-size glasses, much less than the current minimum pubs are legally allowed to offer. Science Minister David Willetts said: “This is exactly the sort of unnecessary red tape the Government wants to remove. We are freeing business so they can innovate and create new products to meet the demands of their customers. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills added the new measures are intended to offer consumers more choice, and not to encourage people to drink less. Mr Willetts added: “We have listened to consumers and businesses. They have called for fixed quantities to be kept
but with greater flexibility. That is what this change will deliver. “We are freeing business so they can innovate and create new products to meet the demands of their customers.” Alcohol Measures: Current sizes: :: Pint - 568ml. :: Half-pint - 284ml. :: Wine - 125ml minimum. New sizes: :: About two thirds of a pint. :: Wine - 50ml minimum. Brigid Simmons, of The British Beer & Pub Association, welcomed the news: “While the pint remains a great British icon, the two thirds measure will give greater flexibility over how beer is served.” She added the new measure was likely to encourage more women to drink beer. Ms Simmons said: “This is particularly important when it comes to encouraging more women to choose beer, as many avoid the traditional pint glass. “As a lower strength with a wide variety of styles, tastes and flavours, there is no reason why beer shouldn’t be enjoyed in a wider range of measures and glass styles.” The Government is aiming to introduce the changes in drinking measures over the next three months.
Flooded Australians demand emergency food drops at once
RESIDENTS who have refused to leave their flooded homes in Australia have been described as “irresponsible” by their local mayor. Water levels have slowly started to recede in Rockhampton, a town in Queensland virtually surrounded by a brown inland sea. But torrential downpours could cause flash-flooding and worsen existing floods, the weather bureau warned. Some 4,000 people across the state have been evacuated from their homes since the flooding started just before Christmas. The mayor of Rockhampton has slammed a handful of residents, including some with
children, who refused to leave and are now demanding food drops from the emergency services. “We have taken a decision, and we make it very clear, that we cannot put emergency services resources at risk bringing in those supplies,” Brad Carter said. “They have to now respect and understand that because they make that choice... they will not be getting re-supply of essential services, goods and grocery items provided by emergency services personnel.” He added: “If these residents want to stay in their homes that’s their decision, we won’t force them out.” But he expressed frustration that they had ignored warnings to leave and branded them “irresponsible”. Thousands of people are
trying to salvage homes and belongings, while dealing with the threat of poisonous snakes, crocodiles and disease-carrying mosquitoes as they negotiate the sludge and rain. Acting police superintendent David Peff said wading into the waters - sometimes up to chest height - was dangerous for his staff and backed the mayor’s pleas to isolated residents in the town of 75,000. “Every time we put police or SES (State Emergency Service) people into that water... my personal concern is people that are helping will end up being bitten by a snake,” he said. The disaster, described as the state’s worst, has now inundated or cut off 40 towns and swept 10 people to their deaths, along with thou-
sands of animals. The flooding has also had a major economic impact on the region, shutting down three-quarters of the state’s coal mines, which account for half the world’s supply. Gladstone port, one of Queensland’s two major coal ports, has suspended exports because of supply problems and flooded mines. Different coals are normally blended together at the waterfront before being loaded onto ships - but it has insufficient quantities to keep blending to the same standard, a spokeswoman said. Anglo American, one of Australia’s top four miners of steel-making coal, said it could take some weeks to pump water out of its flooded mines and that it was too early to say when its collieries could resume operation.
Britain is braced for more wintry weather After the coldest December since records began, Britain can expect a fresh blast of cold weather. Sky News’ Isobel Lang says there are concerns for southern Britain from this evening onwards as rain in the north brings in colder air and the threat of snow. While not everywhere will see snow
Page 14
there is a definite threat for parts of the country. “Motorists should be prepared for a fall,” she added, pointing out that driving conditions could be tricky if snow and sleet turn to ice. Sky News’ meteorologist Dr Chris England said: “It’ll be in the hills first and then increasingly moving to lower levels. “But it’s hard to know exact-
ly when and where it will start being snow rather than sleet. “What we expect is for the snow to come in across Wales, parts of the Midlands, East Anglia and north of the M4.” The Met Office on Wednesday night issued severe weather warnings for south-west Scotland, Lothian and Borders where snow was expected to create icy conditions.

Asda joins the New Year supermarket price war A GROWING number of major supermarkets are launching a battle for business - with Asda the latest to join the fray. Asda, owned by the American giant Walmart, has guaranteed to sell 15,000 grocery products at least 10% cheaper than all of its big rivals. As part of its pledge to customers, the UK’s second largest chain is promising voucher refunds to those who find their groceries less than 10% cheaper elsewhere from today. Under the deal, shoppers who found their £100 Asda basket for £95 elsewhere would receive 10% of £95 plus the original £5 difference - a total of £14.50. Cheapest Baskets Over 27 Weeks :: Asda - cheapest baskets in 16 weeks :: Morrisons - cheapest baskets in seven weeks :: Tesco - cheapest baskets in four weeks :: Sainsbury’s and Waitrose -
no cheapest baskets Source: thegrocer.co.uk, Dec 2010 Customers are asked to input their receipt details into the Asda website the following day, where the independent price comparison group mySupermarket.co.uk will determine if refunds are due. Some 7,000 items covered by the guarantee are subject to VAT. The recent increase in VAT to 20% and rising household bills also prompted Morrisons to announce price cuts this week - saying its biggest ever “Price Crunch” will cancel out
07 January 2011 - 13 January 2011
the VAT increase. The price cuts on the shelves also follow the biggest jump in food prices since 1976 in November - with cereal, sugar and fruit costs all soaring in recent times. Asda chief executive Andy Clarke said: “The Asda Price Guarantee cuts through all the phoney claims and headline numbers, and shows when it comes to saving people money, we mean business this year.” Research by The Grocer has suggested that out of the big five supermarkets, Asda beats its rivals on price more
often. But reaction to the initiative has been measured. Matt Piner, senior retail analyst at Verdict, said: “Despite the fact relatively few people will still actually use the service, rivals such as Tesco will now be forced to respond.” Richard Hodgson, Morrisons Commercial Director, said: “Unlike Asda, we’re not in the business of gimmicks and stunts. He continued “Morrisons does not ask customers to decipher lots of terms & conditions, fill in a form to get a few pence back every couple of weeks.”
The fat lady has nothing to sing about these days! SHE is aged between 45 and 54, has been married for 20 years, weighs 13st 3lbs, wears a size 18 dress and experiences humiliation every day. The archetypal overweight female was revealed by a YouGov survey, commissioned by weight-loss group Slimming World. And with two-thirds of women in the UK falling into the same weight category as Mrs Average, these feelings of daily humiliation are widespread. The survey of 2,257 people, of which 1,467 were deemed to be overweight, found fat people struggled with their emotions in at least five everyday situations. They cover looking in the mirror and at holiday snaps, seeing old friends, trying clothes on in a shop, and getting dressed for a night out. Slimming World spokeswoman Caryl Richards said: “Mrs Average faces a constant daily battle with her emotions, as failed diets and a desperate desire to lose
weight cause a crisis of confidence.These turn a string of everyday situations into sources of embarrassment, humiliation and dread.” With two out of three people in the UK overweight or obese, according to Slimming World: “The majority of the population is now trapped in this emotional cycle of daily humiliation, embarrassment and dread. The survey found that men reported more positive responses, like “happy” and “excited” in everyday situations, but still used the word “fat” to express how they felt in two out of five circumstances. In contrast, the 790 healthy weight people who took part in the survey reported positive answers in every situation. To win the battle of the bulge, Ms Richards said a good support network was the key. “It’s about tapping into the power of a group to influence individuals positively,” she stressed. “That means encouraging them to make healthy new choices and lifestyle changes that are often too difficult to make on their own.”

Womack has quit East Enders ‘over baby swap plot’ EASTENDERS actress Samantha Womack, whose character has been involved in the soap’s controversial baby swap plot, is to leave the show. Womack plays Ronnie Branning, who lost baby son James to cot death on New Year’s Eve then swapped him for Kat Moon’s (played by Jessie Wallace) newborn Tommy. The storyline has generated thousands of complaints from viewers and reports suggest the actress objected to the plot. The BBC said mother-of-two Womack would be leaving the soap in several months, but would not confirm her departure was prompted by the harrowing storyline. The Sun said the 38-year-old brought filming to a halt during the scenes as she was so upset, and also “made it clear” to bosses she thought the plot was wrong. An EastEnders spokesman said: “Samantha Womack has been a major part of the show’s success in recent
Page 18
years and she will continue to work with us until her departure later this year.” Womack - formerly known as Samantha Janus before her marriage to actor husband Mark Womack - will reportedly leave the show in May. Nearly 6,000 viewers have complained to the BBC about the New Year episodes. Only one other EastEnders story - when Danielle Jones was killed in a car crash moments after Ronnie found out the teenager was her daughter - has prompted more complaints, with 7,000. Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said about the baby swap plot: “We appreciate this is a challenging storyline and have taken care to ensure viewers were aware of the content in advance of transmission.” He also pointed out that information on where to get advice was provided for those affected by the issues. The episode in which Ronnie struggled to cope with the baby and Kat did not recognise the dead child as her own was seen by 10.6 million viewers.
Joanna Yeates' lifestyle 'holds key to the case' Detectives will be looking deeply into Joanna Yeates' lifestyle as they step up the hunt for her killer, according to a former Scotland Yard murder detective. Rick Turner said police would be examining her private life closely for clues - including the possibility that she had a stalker. On Wednesday officers revealed that one of Miss Yeates' socks was missing when her body was discovered on Christmas Day. Detectives believe the grey ski sock may hold the key to solving her murder and are investigating whether her killer took it as a trophy. Mr Turner said: "There is a possibility of that. "In certain types of offences, particularly sexual motives where offences of murder have been committed, sometimes - not always the perpetrator may take a trophy." The former chief superintendent examined the case with Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt outside the 25-year-old's flat in Bristol and at the spot where her strangled body was found three miles away. He said officers would be looking closely at tributes left outside her home, possibly even taking away written messages for analysis. "It has been known that a killer will go back to the scene
and lay flowers," he said. Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones, who is leading the murder inquiry, has confirmed Miss Yeates' killer or killers may have tried to put her body over a wall into the quarry on Longwood Lane, Failand, but instead left her on the grass verge. Mr Turner said they may have chosen an "ideal place" to hide the body at the site behind a stone wall where it
would be covered by vegetation - but were interrupted by traffic. The landscape architect was last seen walking back to the rented flat she shared with her boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27, after leaving colleagues in a pub on December 17. She wasfilmed on CCTV buying a pizza in Tesco Express, Clifton. The receipt was discovered in her flat but no evi-
dence of the pizza or the packaging has ever been found. Police have said there was no evidence that Miss Yeates was sexually assaulted, but they have not ruled out a sexual motive. Miss Yeates' landlord, retired Clifton College teacher Chris Jefferies, 65, was arrested on suspicion of her murder, but freed on bail after three days of questioning.

Life in the Cottage Garden with Carol Klein Winter 8.30pm, BBC 2 In this new series plantswoman Carol Klein shares with us a year in her garden at Glebe Cottage in north Devon. Carol has looked after her garden for over thirty years and each year brings with it its own rewards and delights, as well as problems and challenges. Follow Carol as her garden grows, flourishes, dies and is reborn. The first episode covers January and February. The frosts have not yet released their grip on the garden and the devastation of a hard winter is scattered all around. There is much to do; cutting back, preparing the soil and garlic planting. The first green shoots of the year begin to appear, as drifts of snowdrops carpet the woodland floor and hellebores reveal their ravishing colours. A local woodsman joins Carol to lay a native hedge. Slowly the first signs of spring appear.
‘Titanic: The True Story 8pm, Channel 5 James Cameron’s 1997 movie ‘Titanic’ became one of the cinematic events of the decade, grossing over $2billion worldwide and scooping 11 Oscars. The film captures the action and drama of the maritime disaster, which claimed the lives 1,523 people - but how realistic are the events depicted in the film.

Adrian Chiles is joined by Gareth Southgate to present coverage of the weekend’s opening third-round encounter, held at the Emirates Stadium. Leeds produced a memorable display at this stage last season, when they defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, before going out to the Gunners’ rivals Tottenham Hotspur after a replay in the following round. This was the last trophy Arsene Wenger’s men won back in the 2004/05 campaign and they will be determined to avoid an upset today after being eliminated by Stoke City in round four last term. Commentary by Peter Drury and Andy Townsend.

Stark decides to change his ways, aided by his loyal, wisecracking assistant (Gwyneth Paltrow). He also finesses the armour and creates the crime-fighting persona of Iron Man. But Stark's newfound peacenik status upsets business partner Jeff Bridges, who has his own ideas about how to use the technology. Jon Favreau's direction is unfussy and controlled, and he cleverly filters the comic's 1960s origins through contemporary "war on terror" paranoia. In an exemplary piece of casting, Downey Jr gives a powerhouse performance, adding depth and believabili-

Derren Brown: Behind the Mischief 9:00pm, Channel 4 Is Derren Brown magic at home, or is there a relatively ordinary bloke behind the stage persona? Of course there is, and this documentary promises to reveal him. Family, friends and collaborators talk to behind-thescenes cameras, offering titbits that will doubtless be frustratingly opaque, although my money is on a picture of a thoughtful, bookish chap with a Fryish sense of wordy humour. Programmes like this are utterly meaningless without celebrity input, so thank heavens we’re also joined by well-known fans including Stephen Merchant, Matt Lucas, Simon Pegg, Bill Bailey and Jo Whiley.
Amanda Byram have (we presume) spent the months between cycles snorting at the CVs of amateur athletes seeking sporting glory. In fact, what the contestants are signing on for is slippery humiliation. Total Wipeout is to fitness what Come Dine with Me is to food. Competitors’ assessment of their abilities in no way resembles reality. You come away wondering what sort of warped parenting produces such unhinged egos. Though, to be fair some people merely sign up for a laugh and a free trip to South America.

8.00pm BBC1 BBC One’s popular winter-warmer Lark Rise To Candleford returns for a fourth series, teeming with its usual wit, intrigue and romance. Its vividly drawn, muchloved characters continue to delight and entertain. The series of six episodes opens with the arrival of Gabriel Cochrane, played by Richard Harrington, and sees the return of Dawn French’s character, Caroline Arless, later in the run. Gabriel is the handsome and once-wealthy owner of a large iron foundry. But after the bankruptcy of his business and the death of his new wife, Gabriel finds himself both penniless and homeless. Moved by his plight, Dorcas offers him a job as a blacksmith, and a room above the forge. But both she and Gabriel know that the solution is only temporary. Gabriel is determined to regain his wealth and position and bring down the banker, Steerforth, who he believes acted illegally and unethically in repossessing his home and business. Over in Lark Rise, Emma is thrilled to receive a postal order from Robert, who is away working in Oxford. The hard-earned money

Lark Rise To Candleford
10:55pm............Gavin & Stacey will settle her many unpaid bills. She sends Edmund to Candleford to cash the postal order, and although it is a breach of procedure, Dorcas agrees to allow him to collect the money in place of Emma. That night, on his way home to Lark Rise, Edmund is robbed and arrives home to deliver the devastating news that all the money is gone. How will Emma manage with five mouths to feed and no money coming in? And when she discovers the truth behind the robbery, she is faced with an agonising dilemma. Pearl Pratt, meanwhile, is delighted to have her beloved sister Ruby back home. Her romance with the Pontefract undertaker is apparently over – Ruby dissolves into tears at the mere mention of his name, but will not say what has happened. While Ruby has been away, Daniel has settled in nicely at the Pratts, and Pearl is spoiling him rotten with steam puddings and starched collars. Ruby resents being usurped by Daniel, but Pearl is oblivious and lavishes all her attention on him. Dorcas feels utterly responsible for the robbery, and resolves never to meddle again – something which Minnie points out will be very hard for her. So when she hears from Steerforth that Gabriel’s business and home are up
for auction and that Gabriel’s story of the bank’s wrongdoing is not as simple as it appears, she has to fight the urge to get involved. But when an intervention with Ruby helps her friend come to terms with her doomed love affair, Dorcas finds that her involvement is more appreciated than she thought. When Gabriel announces his plans to disrupt the auction of his foundry by publicly denouncing Steerforth, risking the ruin of his own reputation and future, she decides to try to help Gabriel face his demons and accept his own part in his downfall. Gabriel, though, seems deaf to her pleas for sanity, so when the day of the auction arrives and Gabriel is nowhere to be found, Dorcas fears the worst and races to try to stop him carrying out his disastrous plan. But will she succeed, and will Gabriel embrace a new life in Candleford? Richard Harrington plays Gabriel Cochrane, Julia Sawalha plays Dorcas Lane, Paul Ritter plays Mr Steerforth, Claudie Blakley plays Emma Timmins, Thomas Rhys Jones plays Edmund Timmins, Matilda Ziegler plays Pearl Pratt, Victoria Hamilton plays Ruby Pratt and Ben Aldridge plays Daniel Parish. The cast also includes Olivia Hallinan as Laura Timmins.

Silent Witness 9pm, BBC1 THIS week Leo finds himself haunted by past memories when he returns to Sheffield after an ancient body is unearthed on Bleaklow Moor. Silent Witness is a BBC thriller series, focusing on a team of forensic experts and their investigations into various crimes. First broadcast in 1996, the fourteenth series was broadcast beginning 3 January 2011. The series was created by Nigel McCrery, a former murder squad detective in Nottingham. He later went on to create the hit series New Tricks with Roy Mitchell. The series was based on Prof. Helen Witwell, a forensic pathologist based in Sheffield, whom McCrery had known while serving as a police officer. The series normally attracted around seven million viewers in the UK.
5:00pm......................Newsround In the United States, the show airs during ‘Mystery Monday’ on BBC America. The programme originally followed the activities of a female pathologist, Dr Sam Ryan (who was promoted to professor part way through the series), played by Amanda Burton. However, Ryan’s character departed early in the eighth series in 2004. There had been a succession of regular supporting characters, changing almost every series, but Dr Leo Dalton (William Gaminara) and Dr Harry Cunningham (Tom Ward), who were introduced in the sixth series in 2002, remained in the series and continued as lead characters following Ryan’s departure, with Dalton replacing her as professor. A new character, Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox), was introduced to the team in the eighth series in 2004. She began as a forensic anthropologist, not a pathologist, and was originally enlisted by the team
to help analyse bones. Alexander was later represented as having the necessary qualifications to fill the vacancy for a pathologist left by Professor Ryan, although she was initially stated to have a PhD in anthropology and not a medical qualification. She has, however, since been represented as medically-qualified. Some early series were set in Cambridge, but it was later relocated to London. The programme is typically made up of a series of two-part stories, usually with six to eight episodes per series. The theme music for Silent Witness is a song called “Silencium” by John Harle. The incidental music for Silent Witness (Series 9 present) is written by BAFTA nominated TV & film music composer Sheridan Tongue. In 1998, writer John Milne received an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for the Series 2 episode “Blood, Sweat, and Tears”.

Baking Made Easy – So Easy 8.30pm BBC2 Lorraine Pascale, who quit the catwalk to become a top chef, baker and patissier, makes her TV debut in Baking Made Easy. Sharing her kitchen secrets, professional knowhow and sheer passion for food, Lorraine believes: “Baking is about keeping it simple.” After quitting modelling, Lorraine trained as a chef and has worked in some of the best restaurants in London. She’s also a mother, a food writer and a businesswoman. Her series focuses on modern baking and the recipes cover anything cooked in the oven – both sweet and savoury. She kicks off with one of the simplest and fastest things you can bake – parmesan and poppy seed lollipops; they’re canapés to die for and a feat of baking engineering. Next there’s soda bread; no kneading, no rising, no effort – fresh bread doesn’t get easier than this. Lorraine conjures up a classic French patisserie – blueberry and lemon millefeuille – with a mixture of insider savvy and great shortcuts. “You’re going to make a lot of friends with this dessert,” says Lorraine. She shares her basic recipe for shortcrust pastry. It’s buttery, crumbly, and fantastic as a pastry case for an impressive fig, cream cheese and mint tart, which goes down a storm as the centre piece at a lunch for friends. And finally Lorraine does some online shopping to bake a show-stopper cake for a friend’s party; it’s chocolatey, stunning to look at, delicious to eat and, what’s more, easy to make. Lorraine comments: “When you see a cake like this in the shops or magazines you never think you’ll be able to make a cake like it – but now you can.”

Spanning three continents and 21 countries, the Mediterranean has nurtured some of the most dazzling civilizations of antiquity. Today, amid the stunning landscapes, more cultures live side by side here than anywhere else on earth. In this new series Sir Trevor McDonald explores the various countries that make up the Med, their individual cultures and traditions and looks beyond the beaches and old towns of holiday brochures to discover the truly secret Mediterranean. In this episode Sir Trevor visits three countries where the landscape has determined how people live there, whether it is living by an ancient lagoon, being a cowboy in southern France or turning a barren Tunisian landscape into a multi-million pound Hollywood film set. Sir Trevor heads to the beautiful Greek island of Santorini, where he visits the caves that the island’s earliest dwellers dug into the side of the volcanic rock. Here he meets Kostis Psychas who turned these caves into an unusual modern hotel in the mid 1980s. Although the hotel is now some of the most expensive real estate in Greece, Kostis explains how the caves were originally very humble dwellings: “The people here didn’t have the possibility to build a proper house. They didn’t have materials, they didn’t have wood, so the easy way to create a house was just to dig a cave.” 3600 years ago a massive volcanic eruption tore the island apart leaving a vast lagoon which, while luring tourists in their thousands, has always been regarded by the island’s inhabitants as a natural source of food. Sir Trevor meets Stavros Kastrinakis who learnt the art of spear fishing as a young boy growing up on the island and is now a champion in the sport. He says: “I can stay [underwater] for two to three minutes while spear fishing but if we’re talking
Page 30
about breath holding I’ve gone up to 7 minutes but that’s just staying relaxed.” While Sir Trevor remains on the boat, Stavros plunges 40 metres into the sea armed only with his gun and after two minutes underwater he re-emerges with a one kilogram sargo fish which is just the right size for a two person lunch. Sir Trevor says: “We know it’s fresh, and it tastes just as good as though I’d caught it so that’s another bonus!” While Santorini can rely on attracting thousands of tourists, 900 miles across the sea lies Tunisia on the north coast of Africa where residents have to look at more inventive ways to make a living and boost the country’s revenue. Sir Trevor meets Tarek Ben Ammar who singlehandedly created the Tunisian film industry when he persuaded Hollywood producers to makes films including Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars in the country. He shows Sir Trevor around his permanent Roman film set which he built, and which has provided over 25,000 jobs. He says: “Tunisia is a poor country, we don’t have oil. I thought, ‘How can you create wealth without oil? By culture, by cinema.’ And 35 years later [we’ve made] 70 films, with the greatest directors: Spielberg, Lucas, Zeffirelli. I think we were blessed that we didn’t have oil – because we had to use our heads!” While Tunisia is a Muslim country, it’s less conservative than some of its neighbours, and Sir Trevor is invited to meet a woman who is making the most of it. In the male dominated sport of rally driving Nadia Gamoudi is one of the best. She takes Sir Trevor for a spin and he explains: “Even though we were speeding across a beach of ever shifting sands it was as nothing compared to Nadia’s rallies across the desert. When over high dunes and rocky terrain she could cover 500 miles a day and where serious crashes and fatalities
are common place.” While Tunisians are busy reinventing the country’s image, Sir Trevor’s next visit is to see a way of life that has barely changed in hundreds of years. He heads to The Camargue, an area of the French coast much less well known than its more glamorous neighbours, to meet the cowboys that have lived there for over 500 years. Patrick Laurent’s family have had a ranch here for generations, but his wife Estelle comes from a very different background. She was training to be a city lawyer before their whirlwind romance changed her life and she moved to the area and learned to ride. She says: “I was living in the city in Marseille, and I stopped everything. But here there’s a kind of freedom, we do what we want with our horses, with our bulls. And I think it is important for our young boys.” On high days and holidays the cowboys leave the wetlands area where they live and come to the capital of the region Arles. Sir Trevor watches as the entire city turns out to see the horsemen and women of The Camargue ride into town and put on an extraordinary spectacle. Along the coast is the port of Marseille, just inland is the home of the Mediterranean’s most formidable fighting force… the French Foreign Legion. It’s a long standing custom of the legion that soldiers have to assume a new name when they join, thus allowing its serving soldiers literally to escape their past and begin a new life. Sir Trevor meets Corporal Jeremy Bellue an Englishman who decided to join the Legion on a whim. He explains: “I met a fellow in a bar in Toulon and he said he was in the Foreign Legion. I said it doesn’t exist anymore you’re pulling my leg. I had nothing to do for the next couple of years so I joined up!”

Children of Men 10:35pm, ITV1 England, 2027: this green and pleasant land is now a dirty dystopia in which humanity has become infertile and its childless society is crumbling as refugees and terrorists fight the fascist powers that be. Submerged in this chaos is alcoholic former activist-
turned-bureaucrat Theo Faron (Clive Owen), who watches in despair from the sidelines until a surprise visit from an ex-lover (Julianne Moore) offers him an unlikely glimmer of hope. Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También) here delivers a truly startling take on PD James’s downbeat novel, reworking its apocalyptic theme through the cracked prism of the post9/11 era. Owen is excellent and there’s a glorious turn from Michael Caine as an
ageing, pot-smoking ex-political cartoonist. But it’s Cuarón’s film: his hand-held camerawork apeing news broadcasts as it records nerve-shredding action set pieces in tense, unbroken shots. True, the proceedings are occasionally marred by a surfeit of plot exposition, yet the stark triumph of Children of Men lies in how its visceral vérité style brings the realities of a War on Terror fought in distant lands crashing back onto British soil.

I was doing my radio show earlier this week and talking about a story coming out of America. The story is that a woman alleges that while she was visiting Epcot Center in Disney World, an employee
dressed as Donald Duck grabbed her breast and molested her after she asked for an autograph. Obviously, a story with a duck and a breast involved gets my full attention. Then,

according to the accuser, the Donald Duck-dressed employee made gestures with his big, white cartoon hands -allegedly - “indicating he had done something wrong”, according to a lawsuit filed last month by April Magolon. The 27-year-old woman is suing Disney for negligence, battery, and infliction of emotional distress, and is seeking in excess of $50,000 in damages. In the court documents, Magolon says she has suffered “severe physical injury, emotional anguish and distress including, but not limited to, post-traumatic stress disorder” as a result of the
run-in with Donald Duck. The more I read into the story, the more I was beginning to see massive holes in the whole thing. The woman says it happened back in May 2008, while she was visiting the park with her children and fiancé. So the question has to be asked: why on earth did she wait nearly two years to report the incident. I have been to the Disney parks in Florida, California and Paris (more on Paris in a moment). You see lines of kids with their parents waiting patiently in line to get a picture and an autograph from their favourite Disney characters.

On the many occasions I have seen this, the character is always with a Disney employee by his/her side. Disney is striking back against her allegations, so I can’t wait to hear what happens next. But not long after I told the story, I went into another Disney-related item. I was watching a TV quiz show on Monday and this seems to happen all the time when the question is asked: “If you win, what would you do with money?” I know the answer to this because the answer is the same every time, as are the words used. On these game
shows, the total you can win is a considerable amount. Even with big jackpot lottery winners, the answer is always: “I will take my kids to Disneyland Paris!” And I still shout out the same thing, time after time: “You miserable ***** (insert your own expletive )" Imagine you’ve won anything from 20 grand to a couple of million. I think the last place your kids would want to go is Paris! So I was telling this story on air at Oasis Fm and explaining that I had been to the Paris park during summer and it was horrible, dull and raining. And if I had won the money,
Paris would be a no no because, with all that money, you could treat the kids to the real parks in America. It was my opinion, as someone who has visited this depressing place. So 15 minutes later, I was informed of a telephone complaint from a lady who was listening in her car. She told us that she had to explain to her son who was sitting in the back listening, why I had said the Paris branch was horrible. It turns out the lady had booked a holiday there for the kids and was not happy with my remarks! I am used to complaints, and I think my
Michel Roux’s Service 8.00pm BBC2 For Michel Roux great service matters as much as great food. He believes waiters and sommeliers are the unsung stars of the restaurant world and their brilliance transforms an ordinary meal into an unforgettable experience. In this new series, Michel is on a personal mission to train eight young people, none of whom have previously considered this as a career, to become front-of-house superstars. But this isn’t just about transforming these young people into great waiters; good service requires manners, discipline and selfconfidence. In episode one, viewers meet the eight young trainees who are set to learn the skills needed to run service in some of Europe’s best restaurants. Ranging from an ex-school dinner lady to a history graduate and a young mum, they are all eager to improve their prospects and try something new. The two successful trainees will land a six-month scholarship with two of London’s top hotels – so there is everything to play for. But the road to success is not easy and the discipline starts when Michel introduces his right-hand man and leading restaurant manager, Fred Sireix. Fred teaches the trainees about Michelin-star dining, explaining how service should be run: waiters are like ghosts – neither seen nor heard. However, the luxurious treatment does not last long as the trainees soon find themselves taking full control of service in a high-street restaurant. From learning the very basics, the trainees get their first taste of service. As they serve more than 100 customers on Saturday night, Michel gets to see just what his new recruits are made of. boss is opening a telephone line just for my show. But this one is null and void. The fact that it is simply MY opinion as a individual seems to have escaped the lady. And simply because a family holiday has been booked is the subject for complaint? I hope they have a lovely time, I really do. But next time you see a critical review of a destination on TV, will you call them up? Or Google a Jeremy Clarkson review of the make and model of car you drive and complain if it's a bad one? So 2011 has started as 2010 ended! Joe

Human Planet – Oceans: Into The Blue
3:35pm..Me and My Monsters

Humans are the only animals that have managed to adapt to life in every habitat on Earth. From oceans to jungles, the poles to the deserts, Human Planet explores man’s incredible ability to survive in the most extreme environments. Three years in the making, the series travels to the far-flung corners of the globe – the team visited more than 70 filming locations – to bring the most diverse, original and, in some cases, never-beforeseen stories of human endeavour to BBC One. The series is narrated by John Hurt and features original music by worldrenowned composer Nitin Sawhney. Oceans: Into The Blue explores the extraordinary adaptability and ingenuity that enables humans to survive in the marine environment, combined with the profound effect living by the sea has had on our cultures. In Northern Spain fishermen risk life and limb collecting highly valued goose barnacles – pounded by the Atlantic waves, they abseil down cliffs to reach their prize, which will fetch more than 200 a kilo at market. In Indonesia subsistence whalers from the village of Lamalera are also after a marine bounty – a huge sperm whale. Using bamboo harpoons, in their wooden boats, the men
Page 34
take on the whale in an almighty battle of wits and skill. If they succeed, their village will have food for months. The fishermen of Laguna in Brazil have learned to harness the ocean’s natural resources. Working in skilful harmony with dolphins, many of which they know by name, they are able to increase their seasonal harvest of mullet. In the distant islands off Papua New Guinea, “shark-caller” Blais – one of the last of his kind – also works with nature to use his ancient spiritual skills to hunt sharks. In the coral seas surrounding the Philippines a crew of Paaling fishermen take their lives in their hands in a highly dangerous mass fishing technique. In this overfished area, diving to depths of over 40m is the only way to catch enough fish for the village. A generator, with its intricate web of hose pipes, provides the only air supply for the young divers below, who risk the all-too-lethal effects of the bends. Few people in the world have such an intimate relationship with the sea as the elusive Bajau Laut sea gypsies who spend most of their lives afloat. Rarely visiting the mainland, the Bajau Laut live in stilt huts over the coral reefs and on houseboats; some of them still have an incredible ability to hunt underwater holding their breath. Human Planet follows one Bajau spear fisherman, called Sulbin, as he defies the usual laws of nature with an incredible underwater hunt, 20m down, last-
ing two-and-a-half minutes. The Behind The Lens segment features the compelling stories of the Paaling fishermen. Dale Templar, series producer for Human Planet says: “Filming in HD is an incredible challenge for documentary programme-makers. Human Planet was particularly difficult because our team had to operate the sensitive HD cameras in some of the most challenging and remote locations on the planet. “The superb picture quality of HD demands means that finding perfect focus is critical to the camera operators. “Unlike the controlled conditions of television drama productions, we are filming real people doing real things. This is extremely demanding on the crews. Our cameramen were often working on the end of a camera lens, in far from perfect light conditions, using a black and white view finder, which makes focusing a nightmare. Often there is no room for error, no option of a ‘Take 2!’ “We don’t get to see the footage in full HD quality until late on in the post-production process. We have to go through every shot with a fine-tooth comb. What we end up producing for the BBC HD channel is truly magnificent. Human Planet is filmed in the most stunning locations on Earth with the most amazing people and animals. The pictures jump off the screen, almost like 3D, transporting the audience to these extraordinary places.”

Kidnap and Ransom 9pm, ITV1 ITV has commissioned a brand new primetime drama called Kidnap and Ransom starring Trevor Eve. The series stars one of the UK’s leading screen actors, TREVOR EVE (Waking the Dead, Framed) as international hostage negotiator, Dominic King. The three x 60 minute primetime thriller is the first drama to come out of Eve’s production company, Projector Pictures, whilst in partnership with talkback THAMES. The series has been written by acclaimed scriptwriter Patrick Harbinson (24, Law and Order, ER), and was filmed in South Africa last Spring. Eve stars alongside, JOHN HANNAH (Rebus, Cold Blood), HELEN BAXENDALE (Marple, Cold Feet), NATASHA LITTLE (Mistresses, This Life), EMMA FIELDING (Cranford) and AMARA KARAN (The Darjeeling Limited). When a businesswoman (Emma Fielding) is kidnapped in South Africa, expert hostage negotiator Dominic King (Trevor Eve) believes he’s dealing with a straightforward case – pay the money, get her back. But when the release is botched and they strike again in Britain, the kidnapper, Willard’s (John Hannah) motives become far more sinister. With trouble brewing at home with his wife Sophie (Natasha Little) and teenage daughter - and his team, boss Angela (Helen Baxendale) and ambitious assistant Carrie (Amara Karan) pushed to the limit, King must draw on all his reserves to bring the victims home alive.

New Year’s resolutions WHILE each culture’s New Year celebrations has its own flavour, there are certain common themes. The period leading up to New Year’s Day is a time for setting things straight, returning borrowed objects, paying off bills (if you can), reflecting on your shortcomings, and giving alms (no, I don’t know what they are, either). The point is that this period between Christmas and New Year is one of reflection, putting things right, whether it be a quarrel with a loved one, or cleaning the house. It is a time for taking stock and planning to improve our lives (that’s why in some cultures, people jump into the sea, literally washing away all the detrius of the last year). Then comes the New Year, with a clean slate, a fresh start and the intention to do and be better. This is the key to making resolutions for the year ahead. If you have made your resolutions, (and not broken them yet, although it is only the first week of January) perhaps one of them is to improve your home, whether with a thorough clean and tidy, or something a bit more radical. Whatever your intentions, try to look at your home with fresh eyes, as though you were entering it for the first time. Often, because we are so used to our surroundings, we only really “see” them when something is moved. Try moving some of your furniture around, even if it is only
Page 38
the cushions or a lamp, and look at it with a different eye. Perhaps it is time to renew that sofa bed, which is looking a bit tired, or the mattress with a loose spring, or maybe just to buy some new cupboards to hide all the junk you can’t bring yourself to throw out. Sofa beds have come a long way from pine arms and foam mattresses, and it is now possi-
ble to have a very comfortable sofa that converts into a proper bed with a sprung mattress. Equally, if your sofa is still comfortable and structurally sound, consider re-upholstering rather than replacing it. With the money you save, you could have curtains to tone, and make your lounge look completely different. As far as beds are concerned, technology has certainly pro-
gressed in this area, so if you haven’t replaced your mattresses in a while, you might like to look at the many options now available - including latex and viscoelastic, or a combination of sprung and visco for both support and comfort.
If you find the Spanish beds a bit hard for your liking but the mattress still has some life in it (not literally, I hope), why not consider a soft mattress-topper to make it more comfortable. Perhaps your property is
absolutely fine as it is, or if you rent, you might not want to invest too much money in it. But consider a different colour throw and a couple of cushions for the sofa or the bed. For less than 50 euros, you can revamp the room, and you will “see” it as if it were all new. Unless you have a big budget to spend, try to work with what you already have. If the curtain rails or poles are in good condition, for instance, this will reduce the cost of replacing the curtains considerably. The sun is a blessing in Tenerife, and one of the main reasons why many of us choose to live here. But it’s not so great for your furniture. If you don’t have sunblock curtains, consider getting some to keep your rooms cooler and more private, and to protect your furniture. Apart from the usual white ones, sun curtain now comes in a wide range of colours, so you can brighten up and protect your home at the same time. If you don’t really know what you can do to make changes, why not ask us to come over and give you a few ideas and a free quote. You may be pleasantly surprised! Finally, just like everybody else, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. All items mentioned are available at Deco Nuevo, next to Ofipapel in Los Cristianos.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show THE RHS Chelsea Flower Show may be 4 months away but planning starts early and a dazzling shortlist of Show Gardens for the 2011 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, sponsored by M&G Investments, has been confirmed. The 18 spectacular Show Garden designs, confirmed to date, that will wow the crowds are: The M&G Garden, designed by renowned landscape architect Bunny Guinness, is a modern take on a traditional kitchen garden. The Well Tailored Garden, exhibited by Savile Row tailors Anderson & Sheppard and designed by Madison Cox, features a ‘well dressed’ urban garden with spring-flowering bulbs from North America and Asia. The B&Q Garden highlights the environmental difference every gardener can make, using an 8m-high vertical, living wall of windowboxes to demonstrate vertical farms and urban food production. The British Heart Foundation Garden, designed by Ann-Marie Powells, is themed around the movement of the heart’s veins and arteries and cleverly includes heart-shaped foliage and ‘aspirin’ plant Salix angustifolia. The Cancer Research UK Garden, designed by Robert Myers, combines the themes of ‘Surviving’ and ‘Seashore’, using plants adapted to survive in coastal conditions. The Daily Telegraph Garden by designer Cleve West explores timelessness and permanence through species plants and modern hybrids in a peaceful, relaxing sunken garden. The Trailfinder’s Australian Garden presented by Flemings Nurseries is themed on the journey of HMS ‘Endeavour’ and the botanical discoveries that Joseph Banks made on his voyage between 1768 and 1771. Gateshead Council’s Essence of a City Garden reflects Gateshead’s long-term vision to become a city. Evoking a
civic garden, the design takes reference from squares, avenues, vistas, tree-lined boulevards, fountains, and sculptures. The Homebase Garden takes its inspiration from childhood memories of trips to Cornwall, featuring naturalistic shapes and textures of Cornwall, and a colour scheme of blue, pink and white. The Green Poem Garden by Kazuyki Ishihara is based on the mountainscapes of Nagasaki in Japan, and features water, rocks, wind and soft greens to create calmness. The Laurent-Perrier Garden by award-winning designer Luciano Giubbilei brings together garden, art and architecture. Leading Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and British sculptor Peter Randell-Page will be contributing respectively with a sensory bamboo pavilion and three commissioned sculptures. The Leeds Garden draws attention to the importance of water power in the industrial evolution of Leeds. The Monaco Garden by designer Sarah Eberle illustrates the landscape and architecture of Monaco with Mediterranean plants and colour schemes. The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) New Wild Garden, designed by Nigel Dunnett for The Landscape Agency, takes its inspiration from ‘The Wild Garden’, a book published more than a century ago by William Robinson, who popularised naturalistic gardening and virtually invented the
07 January 2011 - 13 January 2011
herbaceous border. This garden celebrates beautiful, colourful and romantic plantings. The Australian Garden, designed by Jim Fogarty for the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, charts the passage of water through Australia’s landscape. The Skyshades Garden, by Marney Hall, illustrates how beautiful an office garden can be using eco-friendly materials and native plantings to encourage wildlife. The key structure in the Tourism Malaysia Garden is the central pavilion, which is inspired by the slatted buildings of traditional kelong fish farms. The building’s roof will be lushly planted with epiphytes such as orchids. The Times Kew Garden, designed by Marcus Barnett and in partnership with Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and ‘The Times’, demonstrates the significance of plants to science and society through design and planting. Plants have been chosen for their beauty and utility – some of which have a medicinal, industrial or commercial use. RHS Chelsea Show Manager, Alex Denman, said, “We have been inundated with exhibitors. Our final selection of Show Gardens represents the very best garden designers in the world today. It is fantastic to see that sponsors M&G are bringing back Bunny Guinness, who is returning to Chelsea after an eight-year absence. We are also delighted to have on board Robert Myers, Luciano Giubbilei and James Wong. We are very,
very excited and Chelsea 2011 is set to be the best ever.” The RHS garden selection panel committee has selected 15 small gardens to inspire and delight visitors. The RHS has introduced a new small garden category for the 2011 show, the Artisan Garden, where designers are asked to use natural, sustainably resourced materials in an artistic manner. Urban Gardens return to the show with designers finding clever solutions for small outdoor spaces ranging from gardens to sunken basements. Here is the line up of seven Artisan Gardens and eight Urban Gardens: Artisan gardens: (replacing the Courtyard Garden category) The Basildon Bond Garden by Hamelin Paper Brands Ltd, pays homage to the birth place of Basildon Bond, Apsley Mill, using reclaimed bricks to represent the mill structure with a water feature that provides sound and movement. Blue is a strong colour theme so grasses and Iris will feature as well as a post box. This garden is designed by the runner up in the RHS National Young Designer of the Year 2010, William Quarmby, held at the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park. A Child’s Garden in Wales by Anthea Guthrie Garden Design along with children from special needs schools Heronsbridge and Ysgol Bryn Castell features a typical Welsh Valley garden set just after the war in the late 1940s with a ‘make do and
mend’ theme. A Postcard from Wales by Kati Crome and Maggie Hughes is inspired by Dylan Thomas’ hometown Laugharne. The garden has a driftwood timber fence and gate and features fruit trees, common salt marsh plants and self seeded shrubs and small trees. Pathways will be in Welsh slate slabs with cockleshell edging. A Literary Garden by Martin Cook and Bonnie Davies is a ‘poet’s retreat’ – featuring overgrown blue, mauve, pink and white plantings and verses from poems carved into various features within the garden provoking thought and reflection. The Hae-Woo-So (Emptying One’s Mind: Traditional Korean Toilet) by Narae Oh is a conceptual garden featuring a toilet and is also a place where one can free the mind. The main plants are composed of wild flowers and grass with Hedera which cleans the air and promotes sustainability of the garden micro-organisms. The Fever-Tree House Garden by Fever-Tree Drinks Ltd and designed by Stephen Hall, is a theatrical, playful garden inspired by plants that have been used to naturally treat fever, including quinine. Built entirely from recycled, found, borrowed and reclaimed materials the garden with its quirky tree house demonstrates an interesting garden on a small budget is possible. Following on from the success of their Rhubarb Crumble and Custard garden at Chelsea 2010, which won the People’s Choice award; the Welcome to Yorkshire Garden by Gillespies LLP is set to once again thrill with an exciting design for 2011. Urban Gardens: Across the Pond by Adam Frost Design is a garden inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and includes some of his well known principles, including innovative use of concrete and the balance of nature with manmade materials. The Ace of Clubs by Domoney Ltd, features a flamboyant garden reminiscent of a night club VIP room with relaxation couches, artwork on walls and bold planting schemes plus sound sys-
tem and outdoor lasers! Stockton Drilling by Gardeners’ Boutique is an urban garden converted from industrial buildings. It features recycled wood planks and wind turbines and galvanized containers to collect rain water. The Chilstone Garden by Heather Appleton has been designed with the workaholic urbanite in mind and is a relaxing fun space in which to unwind. It features a mock window to deceptively expand the garden space and a grown up paddling pool. The Power of Nature by KKE Architects Ltd, represents the four elements of earth, air, fire and water which are used to store and release solar energy. The garden illustrates nature providing renewable energy to be captured to heat our homes. The RNIB Garden, by Paul Hervey-Brookes, is part of a larger recreational garden being created as part of a new children’s residential home and school being built by the Royal National Institute for the Blind in Coventry. Planting incorporates flower colours in shades that are easy for visually impaired users to identify. The Magistrate’s Garden by Kate Gould represents the longevity of the magistrates since 1361 offering a welcoming and safe space for calm contemplation. Two contemporary bench seats face each other across the water feature. The Doncaster Deaf Trust Garden by Graham Bodle is designed for students and tutors at the Doncaster Deaf School and has two separate seating areas facing each other making sign language possible. A textured sculpture, running water, fruits and plants will feature. RHS Head of Show Development, Bob Sweet, said, “We are excited about the new introduction of artisan gardens, which, combined with urban gardens at Chelsea will ensure that visitors will see some incredible designs highlighting innovation, creativity and sustainability.” RHS Chelsea Flower Show takes place in the grounds of the Royal Hospital, from Tuesday May 24 – Saturday May 28, 2011.

CARL PATTISON from Robot, answers your hair questions

Welcome to 2011 Make 2011 of all SO the party season is well and truly over, you’ve made your New Year’s resolutions, kick-started yourself into maybe losing a few pounds and told everyone you’re going to quit smoking, drinking etc. So what about the rest of you? Do you plan a wardrobe change, new make-up routine, or what about your hair? Wouldn’t it be good to complement your new look and attitude with new hair? Think about it. If you’ve had your style for a few years, maybe it’s time to trade it in for a “new you”! There’s nothing worse than holding on to a look that’s dated and drags you down. If you can’t remember when you had a new look, then it’s obviously well overdue. I sometimes get asked by clients: “What would you do?” And nine times out of 10, the answer is: “Update your look.” So often, I see styles that could look a lot fresher and a lot more up-to-date with just a few adjustments. I’m not saying I’ll chop off all your hair for a change, (unless you request it), but let me try to make the best of what you have. Sometimes, it’s maybe only the length that’s wrong, or you need a few more layers, or could be that it’s time you had a fringe added. You need to take a good look at what your hair is doing for you and your appearance. Could it also be that not

only does your style need a “spring clean” but your colour as well? Are you stuck with a colour that maybe suited you five years ago but now makes you look drawn? Have you overdone the hi-lites? Maybe it’s time you toned then down? We are none of us perfect, but when it comes to advice, you should look no further than your stylists. If you’re thinking of making a change, then look no further than them. If you don’t have a regular stylist, then consult the most trusted form of advertising word of mouth. There’s no bigger compliment than when someone says: “Who does your hair?” Ask around and find out who does your friend’s hair, because most people want to give you an honest opinion.
Once armed with “Who to go to”, book a consultation. That should take around 1015 minutes, depending on whether it’s for a cut, colour or both. Use this time to discuss every aspect of your required style with the stylist. You need to know everything, from “What will my hair look like”? to “How do I keep up to it”? Even ask about how much will it cost. Don’t be fooled into having something done against your will. Never agree to a new look, just because you think you trust the stylist. Before any kind of salon service, you need to know everything from A-Z. So what are you waiting for? Get out the style books, peruse the internet and find your look for 2011. You’ll never look back!
SO, we are finally here in a new year - a year that is full of promise, to set them goals again, and go for them halfheartedly. Yes, it’s true. How many of us say we will do something, start it but make excuses not to do it? Then we try to blame something, someone, the job, the school run … the list goes on. The harsh reality is that the only person you can blame is yourself. Did you put that third mince pie in your mouth on Christmas Day? Were you tied down and buckets of wine poured down your throat on New Year’s Eve? Okay, a little over-exaggerated but just to prove a point that the control of your body, how your treat it and what you put inside it is down to YOU. But what if you are not finding it that easy to improve your lifestyle? How do we motivate ourselves to get us where we want to be? It takes 3-6 months of concerted, regular effort for something to become habitual, so don’t go expecting any quick fixes. With some application of effort and, dare I say it, discipline, however, exercise adherence is a real possibility, and developing the skills to be self motivated are yours for the taking. We just need to get through those first few months. 1. Set goals. Why do you want to get fit? Is it to lose weight,
look good on the beach, drop a clothing size, be healthier? Get stronger? What ever it is, write it down. Show it to people, tell people about you goal, explain what you are trying to achieve. The point of this exercise is to give you focus. Make sure your goals are realistic and achievable in a reasonable time frame. If necessary, break your main goal into “micro” goals, which you can tick off on a regular basis. For example, lose 1lb a week rather than think about losing 20lbs in total. Just a pound a week is a much more realistic goal than focusing on that big figure (pun intended) of 20lbs. 2. Write a pros and cons decision list. What have you got to gain versus what have you got to lose. Pros • Look better •Lose weight •Extra energy •Feel fitter Cons • Half-an-hour less sleep •Drink less alcohol •Have to be organised •Eat plainer foods After reviewing the above lists, it should be apparent that the minor cons are outweighed by the greater pros and should serve as a reminder that the decision made is a worthwhile one. 3. Make a plan and stick to it. Know the times of your workout and stick to them. Have a back-up plan if you cannot. Plan your weekly food intake
and shop accordingly. One of the truths of diet and nutrition is that if you have junk food in your cupboard, you will eat it. So make sure that you have plenty of healthy food in your cupboards and that includes snacks. Take out water and fruit so you are not tempted to snack on unhealthy foods. 4. Recruit a network of supporters. Why suffer alone!? Ask family and friends to assist you in your goals. Seek out like-minded people to act as training partners, get support from those closest to you, join one of the many web-based groups that can offer both support and information to help you on your way. 5. Keep accurate training and diet logs. Write it down! Nothing motivates like success. But to judge success, we need to see where we started. By keeping track of workout performance, dietary trends and physical measurements, we can see when we improve. Sometimes, we fail to see our 6. Choose things you like. How can we succeed if we choose activities we dislike, or foods we don’t enjoy? There are many options for us to choose from, and it is vital we select things we are going to enjoy as much as possible. Why make things harder than they need to be? So, don’t like running? Try cycling. Not so keen on the gym? Join an exercise class. Don’t like fruit? Make fresh-fruit smoothies or juices.

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com
Why older people are able to get a strong grip on life BELIEVE it or not, you’ll have to wait until you are at least 60 years of age before your “emotional intelligence” peaks. As a result, older generations are more sensitive and empathic than younger members of society. They are also better at coping with and seeing the positive side of stressful situations. Scientists in America believe it makes sense that humans develop an enhanced “caring” side near the end of their lives. Professor Robert Levenson, a psychologist from the University of California, said: “Increasingly, it appears that the meaning of late life centres on social relationships, plus and caring for and being cared for by others. “Evolution seems to have tuned our nervous systems in ways that are optimal for these kinds of inter-personal and compassionate activities as we age.” In one study, the scientists looked at how 144 healthy adults in their 20s, 40s and 60s reacted to neutral, sad and “disgusting” film clips. Participants were asked to adopt a detached and objective attitude, show no
emotion, or focus on the positive aspects of what they were seeing. The findings, published in the journal Psychology and Aging, showed it was easier for older people to see negative scenes in a positive light. This is a recognised coping strategy that draws on life experience, together with lessons learned from the past. By contrast, young and middle-aged participants were better at “tuning out” and diverting attention away from the unpleasant films. Such “detached appraisal” draws heavily on brain functions responsible for memory, planning and impulse control that diminish with age. All three age groups were equally good at clamping down on their emotional responses when they were forced to. Prof Levinson pointed out that, contrary to popular belief, heightened sensitivity to sadness did not indicate an increased risk of depression. In fact, he said, it was actually a healthy sign. “Sadness can be a particularly meaningful and helpful emotion in late life, as we are inevitably confronted with, and need to deal with, the losses we experience in our own life and with the need to give comfort to others,” he added.

We simply can’t afford to be fit! THE high cost of membership to gyms and leisure centres, and the weather, is deterring many Britons from exercising regularly. A survey conducted for World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) covered 2,000 people of all ages. It revealed that one-third believed they charged too much, rising to 42% for the 18-24 age bracket, compared with 19% of over-55s who felt the same. In addition, the survey found that 18% blamed the appalling British weather for their lack of activity, while time pressures caused by work and family commitments were the reason some 36% did not exercise. Students said they did not have enough time, with 40% blaming busy lifestyles for not being active. But surprisingly, the most idle group appeared to be those aged between 18 and 24, with 33% saying they just
could not be bothered to exercise. Experts at the WCRF are worried the public are ignoring the health benefits of exercise, despite evidence that it reduces the risk of cancer. Rachel Thompson, deputy head of science, said: “It is a concern that so many people feel the financial cost is stopping them being more physically active.”
She suggests other ways of exercising should be considered by those who cannot afford to join gyms or use leisure centres. “People can take up brisk walking or running, or start playing a sport they enjoy,” she suggested. “Even hobbies such as dancing or gardening can count.” Dr Thompson believes the positive effects of exercise should not be ignored. “Scientists estimate that
about 10,000 cases of breast and bowel cancer could be prevented every year in the UK if we all did regular, moderate, physical activity,” she added. In addition to the survey, many people lay out a fortune to join a gym and buy all the necessary feel-good gear, only to lose interest – and their money - quickly when the results of work-outs are not apparent immediately.

Jamie Oliver scores top spot resulting in sales through the Total Consumer Market showing a 9.6% rise when compared to the same week in 2009. Sales reached £71.3m, down 4% on the previous week’s peak. As consumers took to the high streets following the poor weather, the General Retail Market, Nielsen’s best measure of high street performance, showed a 20% yearon-year climb, and a 27% week-on-week rise. Both McIntyre and Stephen Fry received sales boosts in the final week, with the two autobiographies knocking fictional biography A Simples Life and Guinness World Records from second and third spots respectively. Jamie’s 30-minute Meals is taking criticism in some circles however, saying that the recipes are a good deal more lengthy. Perhaps the thinking behind the book is that it’s in an ideal world, with everything pre-prepared and ready to go oven warm, kind of thing. Indeed on his website it states, ‘If you love food and have hungry mouths to feed when you get home after a long day, then allow

Giant Tuna sells for a record £254,000
A GIANT bluefin tuna has fetched a record £254,000 at the world’s largest wholesale fish market. The 342kg (754lb) fish was snapped up in auction by the owners of Kyubey, an upscale Tokyo sushi restaurant, and Itamae Sushi, a Hong Kongbased chain. The previous record was set in 2001 when a 202kg fish sold for 20.2 million yen (£130,000) at the same Tsukiji market in Japan. Sushi has become increasingly popular worldwide while the first sale of the New Year is traditionally seen as an important day for Japan’s fishing industry. Even so, the price tag surprised traders. “It was an exceptionally large fish,” said market spokesman Yutaka Hasegawa. “But we were all surprised by the price.” Environmental groups are concerned about the levels of bluefin tuna.

VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) The stars blow away any cobwebs that have formed and allow you to see though a business contact that you’d thought had your best interests at heart. Independence is going to be at the forefront of your mind and may see many Virgos making some shocking announcements.
GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) You are going to be thinking with both your head and your heart and quite a few decisions in your life are going to be tied up. This is a time of great growth for you and you should be pleased when you see all that has been achieved by Friday.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) Close ones really are going to be trying every trick in the book in order to part you from your cash. Stand firm, though, or you will miss out on obtaining a very important personal item. Romance is the most prominent message in your chart, as you discover how good it can feel to indulge in yourself for a change. And you’d be wise to keep your passport at hand this month.
CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) You don’t seem to be feeling a part of all of the things that are going on in a loved one’s life, but don’t press him/her too hard for details just yet. All will become clear in time, and you would be wise to put some of your time and energy into that awkward work problem you’ve been avoiding.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) The stars are going to be providing you with some new solutions to old problems. You are not just climbing the career ladder - you are going to be taking the express lift, as people from afar make you some very lucrative and appealing offers. A certain star sign is ready to turn friendship into love.
LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Have more faith in your abilities and charms. If something does not seem to be working in your favour, then you must stand tall and know that it is time to move on. Foreign contacts beckon and should be able to provide you with great hope and faith for your future. Scorpios will play a big
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd-Dec 21st) The time has come to put life into perspective and to throw out all the rubbish. For some of you, this will mean possessions, while for others it will mean the negative influences which have become such a bind these past months. Incidentally, you can afford to be selfish in the next seven days.

Holidays The intrigue are back for 2011 of Antigua! TRIPADVISOR, the world’s largest travel site, announced the results of its annual Travel Trends Survey of over 6,200 European travellers, and forecasts a more optimistic 2011, despite mixed feeling from British travellers. “Overall, 2011 looks more positive for both travellers and the travel industry,” comments Emma O’Boyle, TripAdvisor spokesperson. “Britons intend to travel more often and will spend more money doing so, but will proceed with caution as the industry emerges slowly from a very difficult year.” TripAdvisor’s Travel Trends Survey reveals that 2011 will see Britons travel more, with a significant number (66%) of people planning to take a long-haul holiday. Only a third of Brits are planning a stay-at-home holiday next year, marking the possible demise of the ‘staycation’ trend which has dominated the last few years. One in 10 Brits are planning to travel more on holiday in 2011 than they did this year Two-thirds (66%) of Brits are planning at least one long-haul holiday in 2011 Just 38% of Brits are planning a staycation in 2011, compared to 45% in 2010 Over two-thirds (67%) are planning at least one domestic holiday, a slight decrease from 73% in 2010 2010: A YEAR OF AIR TRAVEL ANXIETIES The devastating earthquakes in China, Haiti and Indonesia this year have had an impact on our psyche but despite a threefold increase from a year ago, national disasters affecting travel plans are only a concern for 6% of British travellers.” Other issues concerning British travellers this year: A brand new travel issue to emerge since last year’s

survey is volcanic ash - 15% of Brits admit they are worried about this disrupting their 2011 travel plans A third (31%) are fearful of further strikes affecting the travel plans Concerns over rises in APD, the air travel tax, are likely to afcect the travel plans of over a quarter (28%) of Brits Following the recent high profile collapses of travel firms including Goldtrail and Kiss Flights over a quarter (26%) are worried about travel companies going bust But all this uncertainty in the travel industry is good news for travel insurance companies over a quarter (28%) of Brits admit they are more likely to buy travel insurance in 2011 than this year. Despite Government austerity cuts and fears of a double-dip recession, the general mood of the nation when it comes to holiday spend is more positive than a year ago: Over a third (36%) of Brits think they’ll spend more on their holidays in 2011 than they did in 2010 A third (32%) plan to spend between GBP2,000GBP4,000 in total on leisure travel in 2011 An extravagant 14% of Brits intend to spend over GBP8,000 on travel in 2011 Brits’ best environmental intentions have weakened in the last 12 months - 14% of Brits planned to be more environmentally conscious in their travels in 2010, compared to just 10% now. Nine out of ten (90%) Brits admit they do not think they will be more environmentally conscious with their travel plans in 2011 83% of Brits neither plan to fly or drive less for their holidays in 2011, compared to the EU average of 64% “Although economically British travellers are more confident for the year ahead, it’s still been a turbulent time for the travel industry with strikes, volcanic ash and airport security issues. With all these aviation anxieties it’s perhaps no surprise that environmental concerns are now an even lower priority for British travellers,” concludes Emma O’Boyle.
DID you know that Antigua, an island in the West Indies, means “ancient” in Spanish, was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and named by him as well? If not, you’re bound to find out if you fancy an upmarket holiday to this star-studded Caribbean spot, which is the largest of the Leewards Islands - and the most developed and prosperous. That’s because of its booming tourism industry, offshore banking, internet gambling services and education services, including two medical schools. There are many places of interest to visit if you are seeking more than just the magnificent golden sands to lounge around on during your stay at this luxurious location. For instance, the English Harbour, on the south-east coast, is famed for its protected shelter during violent storms. It is the site of a restored British colonial naval station called Nelson’s Dockyard, after Captain Horatio Nelson. Regardless of the history books, he is well known to us here in Tenerife, of course, following his futile “invasion” of Santa Cruz way back in
1797, when he lost his right arm and also lost the battle – his only defeat! Today, English Harbour and the neighbouring village of Falmouth are internationally famous as a yachting and sailing destination. And during Antigua Sailing Week, at the end of April and beginning of May, the annual world-class regatta attracts many sailing vessels, sailors and onlookers to the island. There is also plenty of quality cricket to view, if that’s your game, especially at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, named after the great West Indies legendary batsman, who was born in Antigua. So was Andy Roberts, one of the greatest fast-bowlers of all time, Richie Richardson, the opening batsman who became skipper of the West Indies, and Curtly Ambrose, another great Test paceman. So, if you fancy a game against the locals and need a few stars to make up your team … Away from the playing fields, many hotels and resorts are located around the coastline, and the island’s single airport is serviced by several major airlines, including Virgin Atlantic and British Airways. The official currency is the East Caribbean dollar. However, many prices in
tourist-oriented businesses are shown in US dollars. The EC dollar is pegged to the US dollar at whatever the fixed rate is at the time. Antigua’s history, rich in intrigue, was initially inhabited by the Ciboney Indians for several thousand years before their mysterious departure. Pastoral Arawak Indians then settled there before being replaced by the Caribs. They were the last group to inhabit the island before Columbus spotted Antigua on his second voyage, in 1493. But life did not change dramatically there for nearly 150 years as the Caribs resisted any European efforts to colonise. Columbus named the island Antigua in honour of the Virgin of La Antigua, found in the Seville Cathedral in southern Spain. A common practice for Spanish explorers was to name newly-discovered areas after Catholic saints. In 1632, a group of English colonists left St. Kitts to settle in Antigua, and when Englishman Sir Christopher Codrington established the first permanent European settlement in 1694, Antigua history began to take a dramatic turn for the better. Under Codrington, sugar became Antigua’s main crop. He had all the latest technol-
ogy and the island’s first fullscale sugar plantation was so successful that other planters turned from tobacco to sugar. And as for Nelson’s connection to the island, as 1st Viscount Nelson, he was Senior Naval Officer of the Leeward Islands from 1784 to 1787 on HMS Boreas. But though he married a local widow, Fanny Nisbet, he was not popular with them natives because he tried to ban trade with the newlyformed United States of America. Most of the Antigua merchants depended upon American trade, so many of them despised Lord Nelson, whereas, he has was regarded as an all-time hero in Britain. So, that’s a brief history of this historic island, and it has proved popular with scores of celebrities and sportsmen. Notable home-owners include Eric Clapton, Richard Branson, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, James Bond actor Timothy Dalton, entertainer John Barrowman, author Ken Follett, plus former West Indies cricket legends Viv Richards, Richie Richardson and Curtly Ambrose. Don’t be too surprised if you bump into any one of these stars while on holiday there.

New shapes of things to come ONE of the defining features of the car industry for more than a century has been the astonishing speed at which things change. Manufacturers have been battling tooth and nail for all those years to build bigger, better, faster and cleverer cars that will outclass rivals and part us motorists from our cash. And from the looks of it, there is no suggestion that this lightning pace of change is likely to change any time soon as car-makers strive for their next big hit. These adaptations have grown apace over the past 15 years, and will continue to do so. Drive any model from, say, 1995, and it will feel decidedly dated alongside to a modern equivalent. That fact is virtually certain, but what about the differences between the cars we drive now and the ones we will be driving in another 15 years? As we all know, seeing into the future is an inexact science, but there’s no harm in speculating about some of the areas in which the machines of 2025 are almost certain to be rather different. The Green Machines The motoring agenda has been dominated by all things green over the last few years, and there is little sign of the environmental focus abating as we stride forward. The industry was rather unfairly cast in the role of eco-enemy a few years ago, but it has reacted in fine style, slashing vehicle emissions in the short term and investing heavily in alternative fuel technologies for the future. As government legislation controlling car pollution tightens and we all fall under growing financial and social pressure to shrink our carbon footprints, the attraction of green cars looks certain to grow. In the first instance, we can expect continuing improvement in the internal combustion engine technology which has powered cars since the beginning. Advanced fuel injection systems, variable
The BMW, as it is likely to look in the next 15 years
geometry turbo-chargers and clever engine management software have boosted the efficiency of petrol and diesel engines, and should continue to do so. The alternatives to fossil fuels are also expected to grow in the next decade or so. We already have hybrid cars, but they look like becoming more common and better. Hybrids that can run solely on electric power for long periods are in the pipeline, as are “range-extender” models. These use a petrol engine to charge batteries, which then power the electric motors that drive the wheels. Fully electric cars are also on the rise. You can buy models like the Nissan LEAF now, but they are sure to become cheaper in the future, even if their limited range is likely to restrict their use to urban areas. But if improvements in battery technology extend the range of electric cars and the power storage capacity of hybrids, sales could really take off. Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have often been touted as a magic bullet for the car’s environmental problems, but affordable production cars are still some way off. Many manufacturers are conducting trials of working prototypes out on the roads and some are predicting production versions within the next 10 years, but major infrastructure investment will be needed for the hydrogen economy to take off.

They will be lighter Less weight is very desirable in cars, because it means less energy is needed to move them around and brings advantages in terms of performance, efficiency and manoeuvrability. For most of the last 15 years, cars have been getting larger and heavier. But more recently, we have seen manufacturers starting to put a check on this weight gain. The majority of modern cars are still made of steel, but the lightweight properties of aluminium are being employed more regularly on premium models. Plastics, carbon-fibre and composite materials are also likely to play a bigger role in years to come. Lightweight technologies are a beacon of hope for anyone afraid that the push to produce greener cars is going to spell the end for thrilling,
high-performance models. Sports-car manufacturers like Ferrari, Lotus and McLaren are at the forefront of developing techniques to minimise weight. It is a way for them to use smaller, greener engines while improving performance and handling. In short, everybody wins. They will be safer New cars today are safer than they’ve ever been. All the modern cars are loaded with active safety systems to help prevent a crash. Together with passive safety technologies to minimise the danger should one occur. In the future, it seems likely that our cars will continue to push the boundaries, although drivers may need to get used to handing over some elements of control. Right now, autonomous vehicle technology is big news in the car industry. It’s
almost like a SciFi scenario because we already have radar-guided cruise-control, self-parking systems and technology like Volvo’s City Safety, which can detect an imminent collision and apply the brakes to avoid it. Much more is possible, too, but there is concern among the major manufacturers over how much control motorists will be willing to hand over to their cars. After all, would you really feel comfortable reading the paper in the back seat while your car drove you to work? They will be cleverer It sometimes seems as though the internet has quietly crept its way into all areas of modern life, and there is no doubt it will be playing an increasingly important role inside our cars. The latest Audi A8 luxury saloon is a mobile wireless internet hot-spot that provides internet access for its occupants, and even people who happen to be walking by. More interesting though, are the advantages that the online cars of the future will be able to bring. By connecting with the web, vehicle satellite navigation systems (satnavs) will be able to direct us to free parking spaces or charging points for electric vehicles. There are also systems currently being developed which will let cars communicate with each other, warning of accidents or congestion on our routes. And manufacturers, by connecting to our vehicles, may be able to detect
mechanical problems before they materialise, or recommend personalised driving tips to enhance fuel economy. We will also be able to download music and video content direct to our cars from our home computers, or from third-party websites. They will be monitored The changes affecting drivers in the UK over the next 15 years look like materialising outside the car as much as inside it. The number of cars on the road looks set to carry on rising, and we can expect to be monitored more closely than ever before when we drive them. Black boxes inside cars that relay information about when, where and how fast you’re driving are nothing new. Car security companies like Cobra and Tracker already use the technology to monitor their customers’ vehicles. It has also been trialled by insurance firms offering reduced premiums to motorists who agree to drive limited distances only, or at less risky times. Tracking systems could also be an alternative to cameras when enforcing variable or average speed limits. But you can bet your car boots that there will be a groundswell of public opinion against increased surveillance on the roads. All in all, though, the modern motorist is in for a real eye-opener - in more ways than one - from now until 2025. Source: MSN

Division 1 Palms A 6-4 Summerland Superstars Trap Door 5-5 Tenerife Hammers A Bar 180 B 8-2 Summerland Allstars KO Cup prelim round: Lupain 8 – 2 Target Rangers Inn The Pink 7 - 3 Terrace B Connors 5 - 6 Palms B Woodys 5 - 6 Barracuda Hunters Barracuda Bandits 7 - 3 Exiles Hammers C 5 - 6 Summerland Elite Phoenix Potters 8 - 2 Toscales Tangos
Palms stun Superstars TUESDAY may well have been a watershed night in the Oasis Fm Pool League this season. The top two sides in Division One clashed in Torviscas, and the eagerly-anticipated clash lived up to its Clash of the Titans billing. Palms A maintained their unbeaten record, and stretched their lead over Summerland Superstars after a watertight contest. Ashley won the opening rubber for the visitors only for Bungalow, Roscoe and Graham to force Palms ahead. The doubles were edgy and shared, and at 4-2 it seemed all over for Superstars. But Ashley won again, and Grandad levelled it with a win over Michael. However, Johnny produced the frame of the night to seven-ball Ket, and then Graham beat Penguin Craig for the second time in the contest to take the match6-4. It means they now hold a six-point advantage at the top of the league. Tenerife Hammers blew the chance to get themselves back in the title picture at Trap Door. The Los Cristianos mob flew out of the erm, traps, and led 4-0. The Hammers got it back to 4-2 only for Jambo to lose again - his first double loss all season - and the home side looked to have the match sewn up. But the Hammers showed some grit to storm back and seal a draw, with captain Barry sinking the final black. There was no such drama in San Blas as Bar 180 B comfortably beat Summerland Allstars 8-2. There were seven ties in the preliminary round of the cup, and a few upsets. New boys
Exiles have hit the ground running, but they were never at the races against Barracuda Bandits. Their bar mates, Hunters, needed an 11th frame to edge past Woodys, and Palms B nearly blew a 5-2 lead before also winning the tie-breaker at Connors Bar. There was a mini classic between Hammers C and Summerland Elite. It was nip and tuck all night, with both sides showing some steel. It came down to a one-frame shoot-ou, and Paddy showed a touch of quality to defeat Paul and book a place in the last 32. They were joined in the draw by Inn The Pink and Phoenix Potters, who both earned comfortable wins. Sky Sports presenter Chris Kamara has been enjoying a few relaxing days on the Island, and he was kind enough to make the draw for the firstround proper. He drew out a couple of derby matches, which sees Summerland Allstars facing Lupain and holders Nauta A tackling Nauta B.

Iriome earns a battling draw Real Valladolid 2 Tenerife 2 IT has been a good first week to 2011 for CD Tenerife fans. The arrival of new sporting director Juanjo Lorenzo has excited those in the know, and he has promised big things. At his first press conference, he promised stability and common sense. Trust me, in Spanish football that’s a massive statement. He has also promised coach Juan Carlso Mandia time to get the job done. Most importantly, he has identified where Tenerife need strengthening and has his eye on a few new players already. Nobody has arrived just yet, but some of the rumoured names would certainly make headlines. On the field, Tenerife got an excellent point last Sunday against one of Lorenzo’s former sides. Just like the match between the sides in La Liga last season, Tenerife fought back to earn a decent point. The home side needed just eight minutes to open the scoring through Oscar, but Tenerife levelled minutes later when Nino bundled home from close range after a sweeping move. Valladolid pressed hard for a second lead goal and, after a couple of decent saves, they got it after 25 minutes when Nauzet hit as sweet a free-kick as you will ever see. No keeper in the world
would have saved his 30yard effort, the ball nestling in the top corner. Tenerife then rode their luck in the second half as Valladoild went for the throat, but their heads never dropped. I’ve been banging on for ages for Tenerife to be a bit more adventurous in attack. Iriome has impressed when thrown up top alongside Nino, and I’ve a feeling the one-time winger wonderkid could become a decent striker. He is tall, quick and
filling out. Five minutes from time, he rose at the near post to head home a free-kick and give Tenerife a point their spirit earned. It moved Tenerife off the bottom ahead of the vital fixtures this month. Albacete visit the Heliodoro this Sunday, and they are there for the taking. They have always been poor travellers and they have won only once on the road this season. That was their last away match, against Numancia, and they have now won
back-to-back matches 1-0. They are unbeaten in six games and have slowly climbed the table, but they are a poor team. If Tenerife are to move out of the relegation zone, then sides like Albacete must be beaten. Tenerife will be at near full-strength and, with Gregory Berranger injured, Pablo Sicilia should start at leftback. Will Mandia be brave enough to start with two up top and pair Iriome with Nino?
