The best Canarian craft fair
Pinolere Craft Fair, Pinolere
Fiestas del SantĂsimo Cristo
La Orotava, 5th, 6th and 7th September
La Laguna, all of September
This is the biggest and best craft fair on the island, usually attended by over 50,000 people. There is a small entry fee, but it is well worth it for so much interest and pleasure, and who knows - you may find something you want to buy! The fair is open from 10am to 9pm and there will be a half hourly free bus service to and from La Orotava.
The statue of SantĂsimo Cristo is one of the most venerated in Tenerife, and this fiesta is as important to the area as Easter. The most important day is 15th September, when you can look forward to a fantastic fireworks display which accompanies a procession carrying the statue. This fiesta is also celebrated in Icod de los Vinos, coinciding with the Fiestas del Drago.
Fiestas de Nuestra SeĂąora del Carmen Los Cristianos, 2nd September The fishing village of Los Cristianos, now a booming tourist resort, celebrates the Fiestas of the Virgen del Carmen in September. The statue of the Virgin is ceremonially placed on board a previously elected and decorated fishing boat for a marine procession. This is a very important festival for the fishing fraternity and lasts for several days.
Fiesta del Cristo de los Dolores Tacoronte, 7th to 14th September The famous Fiestas in honour of Cristo de Los Dolores are held in Tacoronte every September. A varied programme of events usually brings many residents and visitors to this popular grape growing area whose well known wines and popular turrones

happenings (sweet delicacies resembling fudge or nougat) play an important part in these fiestas together with a well attended craft fair.
Fiestas de Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes de Rojas El Médano, 24th September This is the big local annual fiesta and an ample schedule of events is planned to honour the patron, Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes de Rojas including open air dancing to live bands. Her statue will be taken on board a fishing boat in a marine procession, even though nowadays the main economic activity in this area is tourism. The local population still takes pride in it’s fishing activities, past and present.

Culturally speaking...
Residents and regular visitors to Tenerife will know that this island is about so much more than sun, sea and sand, but even seasoned visitors may not yet be aware of the excellence of the classical music delights the island offers on a regular basis. The new opera season has just kicked off, and with Tenerife’s resident conductor Lü Jia taking the baton for the opening production, Puccini´s Manon Lescaut, to be performed in the Auditorio on September 23rd, 25th and 27th, the stage is set for some real treats indeed. The diverse programme also includes

Since he moved to the island of Tenerife to take over the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra Chinese conductor Lü Jia has earned a multitude of fans – and has shown over and over again that classical music is for everyone, not just the monied elite...people are still talking about his wonderful Christmas Day concert in the Santa Cruz port area.

A down to earth young conductor, Lü Jia has rightly achieved the kind of praise and fame normally only reserved for musicians with many more years under their belts. His long road from China to Tenerife is a fascinating tale in itself, from Beijing to Berlin and then to Italy where he was a huge success at a young age, and where, in1991, at the early age of twenty-six, was made the Conductor at the Teatro Verdi in Trieste. In 1993, Lü Jia was made the Resident Conductor at the Orchestra Regionale of Tuscany, a position which he held until 1999, when he was appointed the Resident Conductor and Artistic Director of the Swedish Orchestra in Norrköping. He continued there until June, 2005, conducting the season’s concerts and a number of foreign tours. During this time he was also appointed the Resident Conductor of the Orchestra Regionale of Lazio in Rome (2001). He has conducted some of Europe’s top orchestras during the last ten years, including the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the Oslo Philharmonic, the Bamberger Symphoniker, and Orchestre National de Lyon, Radio Finland. Further afield, in 1995, he conducted the Chicago Symphony at the Ravinia Festival and in 1996 the Orchestras of Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania in Australia. He visited Tenerife first in 1998 and was invited to conduct during the Opera Season in 2005 where the possibility of taking on the role of conductor of the TSO was first mooted.

Cruising news
Smoke at your peril New smoking regulations apply to many cruise lines this year
Top of the cruise talk recently has been Royal Caribbean’s new policy which has implemented a new restrictive smoking ban in staterooms and suites. Since January 2008, smoking in all staterooms and
suites has been be prohibited. The other two cruise companies who have embraced this ban are Disney and Oceania. Royal Caribbean has also designated one lounge on each ship in its fleet as completely non smoking. Other lines cracking down on smoky ships include Norwegian Cruise Line which recently made all public areas smoke free, save for casinos and cigar bars. Regent Seven Seas Cruises have banned all smoking in all staterooms , suites and balconies fleetwide from last December. Royal Caribbean’s policy was applied in January of this year aboard all ships except Legend of the Seas, Rhapsody of the Seas and Splendour of the Seas, which followed suit this summer. Those who violate new public room policies will be guided to a space which allows smoking, but continued violations will be penalised on an escalating scale up to possible disembarkation. The penalties for guests who are caught smoking in their staterooms will be steeper - they could be charged a fine of 250 dollars.
New celebrities Celebrity Cruises have increased the number of ships on order to five according to the German based yard Meyer Werft. Delivery of the fifth ship will be in the Autumn of 2012 with the four previous orders coming on stream each Autumn from this year. The 122,000 ton, 2,850 passenger Celebrity Solstice features a number of new-to-cruising twists which include a lawn for picnics, a glass blowing factory and a wine bar with sommelier service though when I was on Navigator of the Seas I saw a fully equipped wine bar offering just this service. Among the new to Celebrity elements will be family staterooms and a restaurant called Blu offering healthy cuisine. These new ships will be Celebrity’s largest and fall into the Panamax size

Pregnancy and cruising

One last piece of news just in is of the new pregnancy policies of some of the cruise companies. If you are pregnant you should check very carefully if the cruise line will let you board. Until recently the general rule was that week 27 was the official cut off for most cruise lines. Now Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Princess among others have lowered that threshold to 24 weeks, citing premature labour as the reason. Norwegian Cruise Line will not permit a woman to board if she will enter her 24th week of pregnancy before the cruise ends.

Sticky visit
Before last year’s devastating fires, 490 beekeepers in Tenerife kept 10,000 hives and produced 150,000 kilos of honey a year.
Beeswax was once the hives’ star product
Far right: Squeezing the honey from the comb

The Casa de la Miel centre began in 1996 as a Cabildo initiative to promote and develop the honey sector and around five years ago they opened a honey museum, just behind the Casa del Vino La Baranda in El Sauzal. It’s a touchy-feely museum, great for kids and adults with lots of exhibits with press buttons, coloured lights and touch-screen displays and explanations. Go through the wine museum and out of the back door to get to the honey museum. Turning to the left there are explanations of past and present hives, methods of opening the honey combs, extracting the honey and filtering it and the various receptacles used for storage. SEPTEMBER 2008
Pre-electricity and oil lamps in a self sufficient household, beeswax was once considered the most important product of the hives. The wax is produced by a secretion of a specific gland in the young worker bees. Beeswax candles produced the best light and have long been associated with religious acts, the cabinetmaker, shoemaker and jeweller trades as well as medicines and creams. Nowadays the wax is recycled and made into laminated sheets set into the hives so that the worker bees spend more time making honey and don’t waste their energy making wax. Two computer generated screens come next. The first is a display of all the plants and flowers that bees in Tenerife use to make honey, where they come from, where they can be found, when they are in bloom, the various uses each has and related species of each. The second is a list of the types of honey and a guide to cooking with honey with some fabulous recipes, for example roast pork with tree heather honey and sage, and the restaurants and establishments that offer

a 100 per cent mortgage to preserve our capital for the renovations and other projects. This was possible because the bank valued the house at 137,000 euros and based their offer on this figure. The initial insurances (life cover and buildings insurance) were very expensive, but it was implied that we should use the bank for these if we wanted a smooth transaction. However, we reduced the costs with some old fashioned haggling, saving ourselves about 2,000 euros over the next two years, after which time, we can change insurers. Caja Madrid have dedicated English speakers, which makes haggling a lot easier. They also had the best deals. Our renovating adventure started in June, in a notary’s office. We arrived promptly at 10am. We never learn! Five leg-numbing hours later, the notary announced that we were the proud new owners of a house in Buen Paso. This is a dubious concoction of a series
Did we forget to say that part of the house has no roof?
We are pleased to introduce a new series of special interest to DIY lovers. Each month Dinah, a chemistry and science teacher, and Robert, a heating engineer and plumber, will update you on their progress, from the purchase of their property to the renovations with details of how the jobs were done, the problems they encountered, which materials were needed and where they were purchased. This series is a must for anyone considering buying an old Canarian house for renovation.

However, this could be a lovely house with a large kitchen, living room and four bedrooms, all ensuite. There is also a courtyard garden and large roof terrace. We had offered 90,000 euros and the estate agent eagerly accepted. It had obviously been on the market for some time! A short visit to our friendly bank manager, Nino at Caja Madrid, was all it took to get a mortgage. Then all that stood between us and about a year’s hard labour was that morale-sapping five hour wait at the notary’s office.
which provided the only way to get upstairs. Paying a mortgage and rent simultaneously is no joke, so we are going to make three rooms habitable as soon as possible. We have set ourselves a deadline of seven weeks to accomplish this. However, work prevented us starting until mid-June. After that we have to clear away the crumbling part of the roof (did I forget to say that part of the house has no roof?). We want to make it look better from the street and treat a damp problem. This will also give us a break from moving rubble. So we went to look for paint and tiles.

Wedding hairstyles Without doubt, one of the most important days in the life of a woman is her wedding. Renowned hairstylist Alberto Cerdรกn has created styles for brides which are extremely natural, yet modern, and he has found a way to balance this perfectly with the wedding dress.
His proposal is to balance beauty with a natural look, from the most classic styles to spiky modern cuts. For wedding hairstyles there are three fundamental parts: the front, which must look completely natural, the sides which must complement the face and neck, and the back which must link with the style and texture of the dress. Alberto Cerdรกn ensures that the bride feels comfortable, beautiful and natural on the most special day of her life.

This attractive sporty wagon is a pleasure to drive and at the same time extremely practical. All controls are within easy reach of the driver and there is plenty of leg and head space inside. There is also plenty of storage space including a refrigerated glovebox, plus a central armrest which reveals a two-stage storage compartment and drinks holders. Pockets in all doors and behind the front seats mean you can keep your maps neat and tidy. The audio system consists of radio, CD and MP3 player with four speakers, and iPod and auxiliary connections are supplied. SEPTEMBER 2008
Sturdy integrated roof rails which can be supplied with a variety of optional accessories plus an already large luggage space which can be increased by lowering the 60/40 rear seats, enable you to carry all you need with you, either inside or on top of the car. Hidden beneath the luggage space is the temporary spare wheel which is supplied with a comprehensive tool kit. Also in the luggage compartment are a retractable cargo cover, 12 volt outlet, storage bins for small items, luggage net hooks and Isofix child seat anchoring points. It’s innovative tailgate design gives it one of the biggest loading areas in its class. It has been designed so that the minimum amount of space is required behind the vehicle to be able to open and close it, but with a large opening which makes for easy loading and unloading. The storage capacity on the cee’d SW is 1,664 litres with the rear seats folded down - one of the largest on the market. In terms of safety, not only are there six airbags to protect the occupants, but out on the road, high technology systems on board monitor and evaluate your style of driving, and react according to the result combined with external conditions.

The Kia cee’d Sporty Wagon comes with a choice of two petrol engines, 1.4 and 1.6 litre, and a 1.6 litre diesel, linked to a five speed manual gearbox.

The day and night rear view mirror affords a really clear image of what’s going on behind you, and is assisted by giant electrically adjustable and foldable door mirrors.

Real Club de Golf El PeĂąon, Tacoronte
This course truly offers a very different but thoroughly enjoyable golfing experience. It is situated 600 metres above sea level in the municipality of Tacoronte, 16 kilometres from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 24 kilometres from Puerto de la Cruz and only two kilometres from Los Rodeos Airport. A landmark for us is the Bunker, a very reasonably priced stopping place close to the course where we enjoy a hot ham roll before our game. Last year, I had been fortunate enough to play with one of the club members, Gregorio Gonzalez, of Beehive Bar fame. Greg introduced us to the Club Director, Vidal, who welcomed us, explaining that the club prides itself on its operation along very traditional British golf club lines, including its very fine clubhouse, styled in the tradition of the top class British clubs. Like all members’ clubs in the UK, restaurant and bar prices are very reasonable. The main priority of the club is to ensure that its many members enjoy first class facilities and comfort and can play at any time without needing to reserve a tee-off time. Although visitors are made very welcome Monday to Friday before 12.30pm, I would recommend a phone call to avoid disappointment, especially if travelling from the south of the island.

Last year, we had teed off towards midday, unfortunately in rather chilly, showery conditions, but that had failed to spoil our day. This year we certainly saw the course at its best, with the sun shining and the greens in excellent condition. We were eased gently into the game with a straightforward uphill Par 4 with elevated green. The second hole presented much more of a challenge - a long and difficult Par 3 complete with bunkers and a Mackenzie green with a slight rise between the two levels.

This is followed by a short Par 3 with a pond in front of the green. Hole 8 is a downhill fairway with trees and water guarding the green if you approach from the right and a bunker running right across the front of the green. Hole 9 is a Par 4 elevated tee with a long carry over water hazards to the fairway. A snack bar at the ninth provides welcome refreshment. The back nine commences with a Par 5 stroke index 1 which easily justifies its ranking. I carried my drive SEPTEMBER 2008
to the fairway over water hazards and the next shot requires all but the longest hitters to lay up short of the next set of water hazards, leaving the third shot of some 130 metres to the green. The green on Hole 11 is guarded by three large bunkers to the left, right and front of the green. All the bunkers are made from fine white silicone sand or from black sands taken from the island coast. Hole 12 is also one of the most difficult holes with an extremely narrow fairway and bunkers in front of the green. A dog leg right features at Hole 3 and Hole 14 is an uphill Par 3 with elevated green. Hole 15 is a long Par 5 with a gully and rough crossing the fairway. The sixteenth is another long Par 3 with a

The Star of Asia
The Star of Asia is an immensely popular upmarket and classy restaurant which was based on the success of the Star of India. That success was largely due to Kamal, the chef from Bangladesh with 20 years experience who many will remember from years ago when he owned the Gandes restaurant on the seafront in Los Cristianos.
Try the delicious early evening buffet
presentation and excellent attentive staff who make you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. It is popular with all nationalities, those who appreciate that this is not a fast food restaurant. All meals are cooked individually to your requirements, with quality being much more important than speed. You can specify how hot or mild you would like your food to be, and this applies to any dish you order. Be prepared to relax and savour every mouthful. We recently visited the Star of Asia and between us devoured crispy onion bhajis, spicy poppadoms, Chicken Jhalfrezi, Chicken Madras (which is normally prepared as hot as a vindaloo), and Peshwari naan bread. Our food was ‘to die for’ - succulent, tender and full of flavour. Kamal’s specialities are Lamb Korai and Chicken Cheese Tikka (stuffed with cheese, like a Kiev) which is becoming extremely popular. If you haven’t yet been to the Star of Asia, you don’t know what you are missing. Try the early evening buffet up to 8pm, or choose from an extensive menu and enjoy a complete dining experience. You can now also have your food delivered to your door. MAGAZINE THE
After that, he went to mainland Spain, returning to Tenerife just when the Star of India was opening. Since then, he has trained the chefs for the Star of India and the Star of the East in Fañabé. Once these chefs were able to cook and present food to his impeccable standards, they took over the responsibility in those establishments. Kamal is now known more as a guru (teacher) than a chef. He still fronts all the restaurants, but can be found producing the most wonderful Indian food at the Star of Asia, upstairs in C.C. Américas Plaza in Playa de las Américas.

Restaurant La Estancia would like to introduce Alban Roger, who brings a breath of fresh air to this well known restaurant offering exquisite French and Mediterranean cuisine. Alban comes from the centre of France, the land of kings, castles and gastronomy, so good food has always formed a part of his culture and lifestyle. During his 18 months in Tenerife he gained experience at the Sheraton hotel and a variety of French, Spanish and Irish restaurants before being offered the opportunity to run La Estancia. Along with his youth and experience, he brings with him new and innovative ideas with which to promote the restaurant. La Estancia will continue to be dedicated to those who love quality food, prepared by Head Chef, Thierry Goubert, combined with friendly and professional service in a unique setting, and Alban wants to attract groups, tourists and residents who are seeking just that.

Flower Arranging Part 2
In last month’s Magazine, we began our flower arrangement, and had placed the green leaves in the oasis.
Adding the flowers step by step
This month, we will add the flowers to complete our arrangement. Begin with the small finer flowers. Cut them to size and insert them 10 centimetres deep into the oasis, spreading them equally around the basket.
Remove the leaves from the smaller white lilies and miniature roses before arranging, as these leaves usually deteriorate quickly.
Remove any leaves and petals which are less than perfect from the large roses and place them in the oasis, a little higher, in positions of slightly more importance. 36
SEPTEMBER 2008
37 MAGAZINE THE
Finish off your arrangement by cutting the sunflowers and big lilies to size and placing them in a central position. If you wish, you could decorate your basket with raffia or ribbon.
To keep your flowers fresh and encourage them to last as long as possible, don’t forget to add a cupful of water to the oasis every day. This arrangement was created by Ángela Batista who is a teacher with the Canarian School of Floral Art (Escuela Canaria de Arte Floral), President of the Tenerife Association of Businesswomen and Professionals, and owner of Maxiflor florists, Carretera General No. 49, Tacoronte (opposite Caixa Catalunya bank).

Tiling Tenerife Sebastían Manuel González Díaz, Manolo to his friends, is the last professional tile maker alive from Icod to Buenavista. Sadly the trade he learned as a boy which was practised by his parents and grandparents is now extinct.
By Sheila Collis
The kilns were built in a cone shape
His father was one of 14 children and the family smallholding couldn’t produce enough to keep them all, so they branched out into areas other than agriculture, such as tile-making. In those days, the working day started at five in the morning and continued until seven in the evening. Their family worked at the specially built tile kilns from La Laguna to Teno Alto. Kilns were constructed near good deposits of clay on hillsides so that workers

could have equally good access to the fire chamber and to the baking area. They were cone-shaped to concentrate the heat in the baking area and separated by a perforated floor. It took three master tile makers to create the 1,000 or so tiles they would make each day. Working together they would gather the materials necessary, water, clay and firewood. The clay was ground down and sieved, then soaked in the clay pit for a couple of days with a lot of water so that the larger grains would also become soft. Once the clay was ready, one member of the team would step into the clay pit and knead the clay with his or her feet. The second member decided the amount of clay necessary for each tile and separated it

Firing was the most delicate operation
off onto a flat rock. The clay was placed in the gradilla, a metal or wooden isosceles trapezoidshaped frame (a bit like an equilateral triangle with the top cut off ) the thickness necessary for the tile. It was then flicked with water, and smoothed off with a piece of wood called the rascio, first one side and then the other, leaving the centre of the tile, the spine, a little thicker to strengthen it. Two sticks under the moulding area rock held the gualapo, the tile form which resembles a shortened, pointed, hollow-backed cricket bat. The third member of the team pulled the gradilla over the gualapo so that the clay shape
dropped precisely over the form. Wetting one hand he or she then smoothed the clay piece onto the form so that it fitted exactly. The fit was important, it meant that once made, the outside edge of one tile slotted in exactly with the inside edge of the next. The finished piece was taken over to the mantilla, a stretch of very level ground with a light sprinkle of dust that stopped the tiles sticking and gently set on the ground. After a day and a half they could be stacked ready to be fired. The firing always started in the afternoon and went on into the early morning. The tiles were stacked upright gently leaning in circles

A flat stone was used as a moulding area
Far right: Manolo demonstrates the use of the gualapo
from the outside to the middle alternating directions from one row to the next and one level to the next so that the fire would have to go around them to escape through the chimney. An average kiln would hold around 2,300 to 2,500 tiles. Firing was the most delicate operation when the work of many days could be ruined by using the wrong wood, too much heat or not enough. The firewood was stacked in and set ablaze until the perforated floor glowed the colour of old gold, then the fire was allowed to relax for 10 minutes before continuing again and so on all night. When the flame began to glow blue, all the tiles were baked and after a 48 hour cooling period they could be removed and the next batch begun. Examples of the tile makers’ talent are
available all over the islands and there are still some kilns left standing, one of the most complete is the Acebuche kiln in Teno Alto. Commercially it last produced tiles in 1953, but occasionally it is reopened so that younger generations can appreciate the work that used to go into the hand crafting of tiles before mass production put an end to the profession. Manolo worked as a full time tile maker from the age of eight to his late twenties when ‘progress’ overtook the sector. The tools of his trade and various awards are now mere decorations to his workshop at home. However despite his 74 years, he is still ready, willing and more than able to display and teach his skills and he’s actively involved in the craft revivals organised by Teno Rural Park.

Prisoner number 547812 presses his hand against the glass, spreading his fingers wide and as flat as he can make them. His voice is urgent as he speaks into the phone. “Babe, I love ya. I know ah’ve been bad but ah’m gonna change. Ah’m gonna do ma time and when ah come out ah’ll be a good husband to ya and a good pop to li’l Nathan again. Ah’m gonna make it right, you see? ’Cos ah loves ya. More than anythin’ in the whole wide world. An’ ah’d do anything to be with ya again.”
“Babe?” He is whispering now. “Babe? Y’all gonna wait for me, ain’t ya babe? Babe?” His voice is pleading now. “Please? Ya wait for me?” The warder taps him gently on the shoulder and shows him his watch to indicate that time is up. He grabs the phone, and for a moment there is the slightest resistance. Then the prisoner’s hand goes limp, and the warder takes it from him and replaces it in the holder. The warder unlocks the man’s cuffed
hand from the chair, and re-attaches it to the man’s other hand. He helps the prisoner to his feet, and they begin the long shuffle back to his cell. The visitor watches the scene with interest. He turns to his guide, with a perplexed look on his face. “Tell me,” he says, “Why do you permit this charade to continue?” “Well,” says the other, “Firstly, as far as we can tell, he still has visiting rights, even if the visitor is imaginary. Secondly, we’re kinda hoping that one day he’ll let slip what he did with her body.”

The dance floor’s swept, eager for feet to massage Salsa into its wood till Sun-dawn. The music starts, stirring Chabella’s muscles to memory; urging her to spin, fearless, until God fills her dance card. But, they’ll whisper “loca”, “crazy”. Two flashy couples pulse across the floor, their gazes mirror, rather than partner, bound. Chabella ignores them. She comes for him, imagining he’s noticed her; she’s felt his eyes lurking at her table, increasingly, of late.

Bellissima Hair and Beauty is run by Nicola Roberts. Her first salon in Tenerife was on the Beach Road in Los Gigantes. She later relocated to a premises beneath the Sports Centre. Last year she open an additional salon in CC Teide, San Eugenio Alto which has been tastefully decorated and is air conditioned. Bellissima is the only salon to offer electrolysis by Nicola, so the many clients who used to travel to Los Gigantes for electrolysis can now alternatively have their treatment in San Eugenio Alto. All services which have been available in Los Gigantes for the last eleven years are offered in San Eugenio including chiropody, podiatry, reflexology, osteopathy, acupuncture, massage, sports injury therapy, Indian head massage, manicure and hairdressing. Nicola’s team have all been kept up to date in modern techniques. Hair Courses are now starting at Bellissima, for details please call 922 867 343 or 922 719 355, or e-mail hairandbeautycourses.bella@hotmail.com.

The Sheep
Likes The gemstone Sapphire The colour pink Eating and drinking
Dislikes Conflicts Not having support Being separated from family
Sheep mates Dragon – happy parenting Sheep – sympathetic Rabbit – caring and attentive
Mis-match
By Karen Swift
Rat – different opinions Ox – temper tantrums Monkey – diverse viewpoints
The Chinese year 4706 began on 7th February. The Chinese name each calendar year after an animal and this year is the Year of the Rat. There are twelve animal signs in the Chinese zodiac. According to Chinese custom, people born during that year will have the characteristics of that animal. This month The Magazine takes a look at the Sheep. Are you a Sheep? If you were born in 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991 or 2003 then you most certainly are. Sheep are said to be worriers and have a tendency to complain about things. On the positive side they are charming, elegant and artistic. Famous Sheep people include Gene Hackman, Mikhail Gorbachev, John Major and George Harrison. Sheep like taking care of people and are pretty calm individuals. They enjoy cultural events and are happy to go with the flow. Work wise Sheep make good editors, architects and interior designers. They can also turn their hand to making music and hairdressing.
Gemini Sheep – make good companions and are also quick thinkers. Cancerian Sheep – put their family first and are kind and gentle. Leonine Sheep – fun to be with and are honest and kind. Virgo Sheep – can expect too much of themselves and others. Libran Sheep – intellectual and sophisticated and finish what they start. Scorpio Sheep – desirable and magnetic, but have a bit of aggression. Sagittarian Sheep – able to take on several projects at one time. Capricorn Sheep – solid, practical and motivated individuals. Aquarian Sheep – vibrant people who live from day to day. Piscean Sheep – gentle and need support to achieve their full potential.
Aries Sheep – obsessive in love, but make a good stable partner. Taurean Sheep – desire much wealth, but are not money orientated.

Sudoku
How to play Sudoku The aim of the puzzle is to enter a numeral from 1 through 9 in each cell of a grid, starting with various numerals given in some cells -the ‘givens’. Each row, column and 3x3 block must contain only one instance of each numeral.

Just like Sudoku you must fit digits into a grid of squares so that no digit is repeated within a row or column, but unlike Sudoku the 3x3 squares are replaced with greater-than and less-than symbols. The numbers 1 to 5 must fit into the 5x5 grid so that no number is repeated in a row or column, and so that the inequality (greater-than and less-than) signs are obeyed.
