Footie Tales
Ian Rush Ian Rush, the lean goal scoring machine as described by Liverpool fans, is a former Welsh striker who is the top goal scorer in history for the Anfield club, Liverpool, and is one of the most famous names in the club’s history. Ian Rush was one of the most important reasons for much of the success Liverpool experienced in the 80’s and his partnership with Kenny Dalglish is considered as one of the most lethal in English football’s history. Ian Rush had two successful stints with Liverpool and he also played for Chester City, Juventus, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Sheffield United, Wrexham and Sydney Olympic during his illustrious career. Rush currently holds the record for being Liverpool’s All-Time-Top-Scorer with an enormous goal tally of 346 goals over his two spells. He is also Wales top scorer ever with 28 goals. He was also awarded the Young Player of the Year award in 1983, League Player of the Year award in 1984 and the European Golden Boot in 1984 with 48 goals. In 1999, Ian Rush was inducted into the FA’s Hall of Fame. After retiring, Ian Rush also had a managerial stint with Chester City and has worked as a TV pundit as well. Rush was signed by Liverpool in 1980 from Chester City for a fee of £300,000, a world record fee for a teenager at that time. Fair to say he was highly rated at that point as a prospect for the future. Things did not start well for the Liverpool Legend. His debut came against Ipswich Town in a 1-1 draw where he stood in for the injured striker Kenny Dalglish, another one of the greats. He had a few decent performances during his first season and he finished the season with 9 appearances but still no goals. Rush initially thought that the manager Bob Paisley did not rate him, and he asked for a transfer based on the fact that he wasn’t getting enough game time with the first team. Fair to say things didn’t go smoothly for Rushie during his first season. Rushie’s first goal for Liverpool came in a European tie, he scored one of Liverpool’s seven that day. The goal was just the push he needed as he couldn’t stop scoring after that and finished the season with 30 goals. Rush soon formed a lethal partnership with Kenny Dalglish. Rush was quick and clever and would quite often move into small pockets of space unnoticed. Kenny Dalglish would pick him up with a pass and the ball would end up in the back of the net. He was nicknamed “The Ghost” because of this ability. No one thought Rush could keep up the same goal scoring pace for the following seasons but Rush’s exquisite form saw him named the most exciting prospect in English football. His most memorable game came when he scored four against Everton, the club he had supported as a young child.

With the Heysel tragedy for Liverpool in the 1985/86 season, Liverpool’s financial status suffered because of the ban from European football. The Merseyside club was to receive a huge amount of cash after the sale of a worldknown English prospect, named Ian Rush. Rush was supposed to join Juventus straight away but he was loaned back after Platini decided he would play another year. Rush scored 21 goals in his first 21 games for Liverpool in that season. It was a difficult time for Ian Rush at Juventus, he scored 14 goals, 12 in the Serie A, two behind the one and only Diego Maradona! Rush never had the same impact at Juventus as he did at Liverpool and he returned to his old club the following year for a record fee of £2.7million. The press was shocked and only when Rush sat across the table to sign his Liverpool contract, was the press actually convinced. Rush wasn’t in quite the same shape when he returned to his old club and a few injuries followed his arrival. But next season, Rush was firing on all cylinders once again! The Toffee’s were high on his hit-list once again and another brace in the 1989 FA Cup final meant he had finally overtaken the great Dixie Dean as the most prolific derby goal scorer. In October 1992, Ian Rush achieved probably the highest honor of his magnificent career, scoring his 287th goal in the idolized Liverpool’s Number 7 jersey, becoming Liverpool’s all-time top scorer. He was awarded the captaincy in the same year as well. Rush was often described by his team mates as the first line of defense. He was tireless in his pressing and would hunt everything down and around the penalty area. He had a knack for being in the right position at the right time that combined with his electric pace and ungainly posture, he was probably impossible to predict. He rarely missed and was a horror for defenses all over the world. Rush left Liverpool for free in 1996, for Leeds leaving a mark that has never been filled. He played for a few clubs after that as well and hung up his boots in 2000 aged 38. A legend and one of the most prolific British strikers, he was honoured in all footballing circles on his retirement. His International Career was nothing short of amazing as well. He was offered a start in the national team before his Liverpool debut. Rush scored 28 goals for Wales in 73 games, a record that hasn’t been broken ever since. This tally included a hat trick against Faroe Islands, which is included in the total 14 hat tricks scored for Wales in football history.
Footie Tales
After his retirement, Rush has had a short spell as a manager and also works as a TV Pundit. The Welshman is without a doubt, one of the most prominent legends in the history of Liverpool and English football.

Out and About With Nick & Mo
Estepa, Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice?
Ask the majority of British expats if they have heard of Estepa and the answer will almost certainly be no, but ask a Spanish person, living anywhere in Spain and the overwhelming majority will most certainly have heard of it and many will have been there. So why is this? Surprisingly perhaps it is because of sweets. Estepa is the home of mantecados and polvorones, the traditional sweets that are eaten at Christmas time each year. More about the ubiquitous mantecados later, but first though a little more about the town itself. Estepa has a rich history and there is evidence of human habitation in and around Estepa from Neolithic times. The Carthaginians certainly had a presence and they named it Astapa, but during the Punic wars, in 208 BC the city was destroyed by its' own residents, who burned their houses and committed mass suicide rather than submit to the Roman army. The Romans rebuilt and repopulated the city and renamed it Ostipo, but were themselves driven out by the Visigoths when they invaded. In 711 the Moors took over the city and renamed it yet again, this time Istabba. The Moors continued to govern Istabba until 1267
when it was taken by king Ferdinand 111 during the christian reconquest and given the name that it retains today, Estepa. There is a museum where many artefacts from Estepa's long and interesting history can be seen; the Museo Arqueologico, Padre Martin Recio, Calle Ancha, 14. Estepa has a population of approximately 12,500 people, including a still sizeable number of foreigners, extranjeros, although their numbers have lessened in the recent past. Situated in the south east of Seville province it is strategically well placed being only a few kilometers from both Cordoba and Malaga provinces and with good public transport available getting to Estepa is relatively easy. The first views of Estepa are rather striking, with the old town tumbling down the side of the hill of San Cristobal in the manner of so many other similar towns and villages in this part of Spain. Most of the more contemporary residential buildings in the form of apartment blocks and urbanisations, have spread out from the base of the hill and is in marked contrast to the more traditional houses on San Cristobal.

It would be difficult to describe Estepa as pretty and it clearly has the feel of a bustling and busy working agricultural town. The casual visitor may well be tempted to drive straight through, thinking there is nothing of interest for them here, but those who are prepared to take the time to explore will not be disappointed. Leave the main Avenida de Andalucia and head up towards San Cristobal and you will soon find yourselves among the narrow, orange tree lined streets and alleys of the old town, that ramble all the way up to the ruined fortifications and the convent of Santa Clara. Walking all the way to the top of San Cristobal is not for the faint hearted, particularly during the heat of summer, but there are plenty of bars to stop at for a rest and drink. It is possible to drive, but attempting to negotiate the narrow, often one way streets in a car, is something probably best left to the locals and on top of this, parking is difficult to say the least. If you don't feel like taking the stroll to the top, then the best way is to take the A353 road off of the Avenida de Andalucia towards Gilena and then turn right, at the football stadium onto the Ctra del Cerro. There is parking at the top, but it is limited.
ket on three days each week. The 18th century church however is far from ordinary and has a very striking, baroque facade and a very ornate interior that is well worth seeing. Carry on along Calle Mesones and you will come to the Iglesia de la Asuncion, which is another fine example of baroque architecture and is sometimes referred to as Estepa's Sistine chapel, due to it's lovely painted ceiling that depicts scenes from the life of the virgin. Immediately next door to the church is the Palacio de los Marqueses de Cervales, another good example of baroque, with interesting, barley sugar like columns and an inner courtyard typical of this period. Just down from Calle Mesones is Calle Nueva which is worth seeing for further examples of some of Estepa's oldest and grandest mansions. All of these buildings are a reminder that at one time, particularly during the 18th century, Estepa enjoyed a period of relatively great prosperity.
For those who do choose to walk there are a number of buildings of interest to see as you wander through the old town. Estepa has a number of churches located in this area and many of these are well worth seeking out. Of particular interest is the Iglesia del Carmen, located next to the towns' main square, the Plaza del Carmen. To be honest the plaza is fairly ordinary, but there is a lively street mar-

Continue upwards and you cannot miss the spectacular Victoria Tower, the Torre de la Victoria. The tower is yet a further example of 18th century baroque and is all that now remains of a convent that occupied this spot until it's demolition in 1939. The tower really is most impressive and has become the symbol of the town, so much so that it is difficult to find a photograph of the town that does not feature the tower. As impressive as it is during the day it is if anything even more so at night when lit up.

Out and About With Nick & Mo Just a little further up you will reach the top of the Cerro de san Cristobal and the remains of the old fortified town. You cannot fail to notice the Torre de Homenaje, the tower of homage, a 26 meter high watchtower, built in the late 14th century and one of the few remaining parts of the old defensive structures. The main church here is the rather imposing church of Santa Maria, Santa Maria de la Asuncion, which actually has the appearance, on the outside at least, of being part of the overall fortifications. Built on the site of a mosque the building of this church first started in the 14th century, but the majority of the work was done in the 15th and 16th centuries and this can be seen in the interior build. The church has undergone extensive restoration in recent years, with some of the work being undertaken by young people on work experience and, as well as it's original features it also now contains the museum of sacred art, consisting of treasures from other churches. One feature not to be missed, is the wonderful sculpture of John the Baptist, San Juan Evangelista, by Juan de Mesa. The church is also home to the town tourist information centre, but finding this open sometimes seems to be pot luck! Just to the east of Santa Maria de la Asuncion is the church and convent of Santa Clara, Iglesia y Convento de Santa Clara. Founded in 1599 the convent is home to a group of nuns
from the Fransiscan order, who, in common with most of Estepa it seems, will happily sell you the sweets that they make there. The inside of the church has a baroque altar and many plant themed murals painted on the walls. At the westerly end of the site is the church of Our Lady of Grace and the Convent of San Fransisco, Iglesia Nuestra Senora de Gracia y Convento de San Fransisco. Originally constructed in the early 14th century, but rebuilt after being destroyed in the mid 19th century the church has a wonderful carving of Saint Francis of Assisi by the sculptor Louis Salvador Carmona. Before leaving the site it is essential to stand on the viewpoint, or mirador, known as the Balcon de Andalucia and take in the fabulous views not just over Estepa, but the surrounding countryside. It really is a staggering view and you can see why this spot was originally chosen to build a fortified town. If all of the walking makes you hungry, there are countless places in Estepa to stop for something to eat, whether just for a tapa, or for something more substantial. Whether you eat at one of the bars or restaurants in the old town, or along the Avenida you will find a huge choice of very good and reasonably priced food on offer.

I said at the beginning of this piece that I would return to the mantcado, the sweet for which Estepa has become famous. If your visit to Estepa is any time between September and Christmas you cannot fail to notice the smell of the production of these sweets, the air is just full of it. The mantecado is a form of Spanish shortbread made up of 50% flour, 25% pig fat, ( lard) and 25% sugar. The polvorone is one variety of the matecado and is particularly powdery; hence the name stemming from the Spanish word for powder, or dust, polvo. The flavours range from cinnamon, to almonds, coconut and lemon. The sweets were originally made in people homes throughout this part of Andalucia and it is thought that production started in the 16th century, when people came up with the idea of using a surplus of pig fat to make sweets. Gradually though over the years the the production has been more and more centralised and based in Estepa. Each year some 2,000 temporary staff are taken on to work in the fabricas to produce these sweets, although I suspect that, the numbers needed will fall as the industry becomes more mechanised. The mantecados are sold throughout Spain and indeed in other parts of the Spanish speaking world. We always know when production is in full swing because, apart from the smell, the amount of tourist coaches bringing people on the 'pilgrimage' to the home of the mantecado is non stop. There are seemingly never-ending hoards of people, clutching their 'goody bags', visiting the factories and the museums dedicated to this famous little sweet.
I have only been able to give a brief glimpse of the town in this article and there is a lot I have not been able to cover, but if you have never been and you fancy a visit to a real inland Spanish town why not give it a try?
Out and About With Nick & Mo
The mantecado is, in some ways, like Marmite; you either love them, as it seems 99.9% of Spanish people, or, like me and a lot of other British expats I know, you dislike them with a passion. During the years I have lived in Spain I have got to quite like a couple of them, but I can only describe the experience of attempting to eat a polvorone as a complete disaster. My neighbour and friend offered me one and was clearly awaiting my joyful reaction to this new experience, after demonstrating how to crush the sweet inside the wrapper and then put it in your mouth. As soon as the wrapper full of a powdery substance hit my mouth it dried all of my saliva, I was quite unable to speak, or swallow and could only stand with a stupid grin on my face as he said “ le gusta�,do you like it? He did then tell me that the sweet should have been taken with coffee, or, better still a glass of liquer, but it was too late for me and not an experience I have ever plucked up the courage to repeat. Love them, or hate them, there is no doubt that these sweets have contributed, along with the production of world famous olive oil, to the relative wealth enjoyed by this town. Estepa, unlike some of it's neighbouring towns and villages has a certain feel of affluence about it and, if the amount of new shops opening in the town are anything to go by, it looks as though the dark days of the crisis may soon be a thing of the past.

Tech Corner
Tech Corner - with Inland Computer Services 29th July 2016 Countdown to the end of the free Windows10 upgrade
It’s hard to believe that Windows10 went live almost a year ago, but the 12 month period for upgrading, for free, to the latest version of Windows, expires on 29th July 2016. If you miss the deadline for the free upgrade, then after that date, the cost of a Windows10 upgrade license is rumoured to be in the region of 120,00 Euro and the full retail version approximately 199,00 Euro. Windows10 isn’t going away and it makes sense to take the upgrade eventually, particularly in terms of the performance and security benefits. However, if you’re not ready, there is a workaround which will allow your computer to be eligible for the free upgrade to Windows10 at some point in the future, after the expiry deadline. Here’s how Make sure that you perform the Windows10 upgrade, before the 29th July 2016, thus ensuring that your computer is registered and receives its digital entitlement with Microsoft for Windows10. Once upgraded, you will have 30 days to revert back to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, so that you can continue to use your old version of the operating system, but still be entitled to upgrade to 10 for free at some point in the future. For the Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1 diehards, the product end of life dates are Windows Vista - 11th April 2017 Windows 7 - 14th January 2020 Windows 8.1 - 10th January 2023 Once the above dates are reached, it will be the same process as we saw with XP a couple of years ago, with no further updates or security patches being released.

Escape to the Continent Quest Achieves Life-long Dream for Writer Paula Wynne who has been on BBC Radio and TV, has achieved her life-long dream to be a novelist by releasing her debut novel, The Grotto’s Secret. As an award-winning entrepreneur and author of the Writers’ Resource Series, Paula has appeared on TV several times, including the BBC Show, Escape to the Continent, which showed her and her husband’s quest to live in Spain so Paula could become a full time writer. Moving to Spain fulfilled Paula’s lifelong dream to write novels. During the hunt for their new home in rural Andalusia, Paula and her husband found a tranquil home with stunning views down the Valle del Guadalhorce towards Malaga and Marbella. Apart from a white-washed village in the far distance, the valley is lush with green wheat fields and rolling hills, shadowed by layer upon layer of distant mountains. The magnificent Sierra del Torcal towers over the back of the house. Paula’s first sight of the Guadalhorce Valley gave birth to the fictional location of The Grotto's Secret. Paula said: ‘As I gazed at the stunning view, a medieval character just popped into my head and I could see her in that landscape. She was so real and had a story to tell.’ While they waited for the house deeds to go through, Paula wrote feverishly to finish the book. She had a group of beta readers standing by to read the first draft. Using their advice and feedback, Paula did another re-write before the book was ready to be edited and published by Prado Press. Now as The Grotto's Secret gains new readers who love conspiracy thrillers with a historical mystery twist, Paula is ‘thrilled’ to hear that her readers describe the book as a ‘must’ for fans of Glenn Cooper, Kate Mosse and James Rollins. If you love an action-packed conspiracy thriller, download a sample from Amazon to see for yourself. Paula’s life-long dream to be a novelist has come true thirty-five years after she first decided she would be a novelist. Harbouring a near-obsessive love of learning the craft of writing, Paula has been scribbling down the stories in her head ever since she can remember. At the age of eighteen Paula used her first South African pay-check from the Natal Mercury to buy a long distance writing course. Many years later she received an ‘Honourable Mention’ in the 75th Annual Writers Digest Writing Competition for two novels (written and not yet published), which inspired her to continue writing. Paula lives between Newbury and Spain and is currently in Sierra Blanquilla, in the foothills of the Sierra del Torcal, writing two more thrillers.

“Remind
me why I let you talk me into these things,” Jordan said to his best friend Henry whilst tuning his guitar. They were preparing for a twohour benefit concert to raise money for breast cancer research. “As if you had anything better to do with your time,” Henry replied, doing a last minute check of his drum set. “You were probably sitting on your front porch, drinking beer and staring out at the lake when I called. I saved you from yourself.” He hadn’t been far off the mark. Jordan chuckled. “Call it what you will, the only reason I’m here is because you needed someone famous—if retired—to help you raise money for this event.” Henry grinned. “That could have been part of it.” The other part was likely that it was a cause near and dear to Jordan’s heart, and he always made time to support it, if he could. They spent the next fifteen minutes getting ready to perform and doing sound checks with the other members of the band. Jordan didn’t mind doing a show from time to time. He still loved to play his guitar and spent most of his time in studios producing albums and doing backing instrumentals for the bands on his label. He’d simply exited the scene when it had got to be too much after his beloved Elaine had died from stage four breast cancer. That hadn’t stopped his friends from trying to set him up with eligible females over the years, and he wouldn’t put it past Henry to try again tonight. In his late fifties, Jordan was mostly interested in someone uncomplicated, just like his late spouse. And he’d yet to find her match. Maybe he was too old... “Ready?” Henry asked the band members on stage when it was time to play. They all nodded, and Jordan opened with a familiar riff that drove the crowd wild. **** “Save me,” Jordan pleaded whilst he hid behind Henry at the back of the room. There’d been a rush to the stage at the end of the concert with people wanting autographs and selfies and whatever other nonsense they could think of. Laughing, Henry gave in and led him into the kitchen at the back and to the left of the large room that had been rented for the event. “Shannon,” he said, calling over a woman who appeared to be in her early fifties and was wearing a chef’s uniform covered in food detritus. She smiled as she came forward and kissed Henry’s cheek. “What are you up to, you scoundrel?” she asked, folding her arms as she looked at both men with an arched brow. “Nothing, I swear it,” Henry replied, holding his hands up in self-defense and grinning in that infectious way of his. It was the reason he had six children with three different women—all exes, all still infatuated with him, despite his philandering ways--. “I want you to take care of Jordan for a while. He needs a respite from his adoring fans. I’m nominating you as his knight in shining armour.”

Henry chortled as Jordan swatted at him, dancing out of the way. “Thanks for emasculating me,” Jordan groused as Henry waved and left the room. Shaking his head, Jordan turned to face Shannon. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude on your domain. I really am just trying to get a breather from the crowd out there. You’d think being in your fifties and retired would put people off. Apparently they still see me as that eighteen-year-old rock star, strutting across the stage with blond hair down to my ass in nothing but jeans and boots.” Jordan ran a hand over his shorn head. He kept his silver strands cut close to the scalp these days.

Shannon snickered. “Well, I’m a fan, too, but I was stuck back here, feeding people.” She swept a hand at the food still being dished up onto plates. Looked like dessert was going to be chocolate cake. His favourite. “I might have been out there, too, shaking my moneymaker.” Jordan chuckled. “Well, at least you’re honest.” He rubbed his hands together. “How about I help you out as a way of paying you back for protecting my delicate sensibilities?” She smiled. “Wash your hands and I’ll show you what to do.” The next two hours were a lot of fun. Jordan hadn’t been this relaxed around anyone since his late wife Elaine. Henry had popped in from time to time to check on them, but he’d had nothing to worry about. Jordan helped Shannon clean up when everyone was fed, then asked her if she’d like to have a drink with him, if she wasn’t too tired. She’d agreed, and Jordan had returned to the mostly empty ballroom and packed up his equipment. Henry was there, putting away the last of his drums when he said, “She’s cool, right?” “Shannon?” Jordan asked. At Henry’s nod, he said, “Yeah. Totally laid back, no frills. We’re having drinks later.” Henry patted him on the back and grinned widely. “I knew my evil plot would work.” Jordan huffed and shoved him aside as he dragged everything out to his SUV. “You think you’re so clever,” he replied as he tossed his equipment in the back. He felt a twinge in his back. He’d have to do some stretches later. “Call me in a week and we’ll have lunch,” Henry replied before packing up his own stuff and driving off with a wave. Jordan shook his head and waited for Shannon to appear. **** Around eleven that evening, Jordan and Shannon went to a piano bar and got to know each other better. She was a looker, he thought, with red hair going silver in parts, a pert nose and gorgeous green eyes. Her face was lovely, and the lines around her eyes and mouth only added to her beauty. “My husband died of a heart attack,” she said. “He never knew how to say ‘no’ to work, but I loved him dearly. He’s been gone, what, ten years now?” Jordan sipped his martini. “And you decided to stay single all this time? I’m sure you’ve had offers.” Shannon smiled. “That’s kind of you, but my work and travel schedule didn’t leave much time for intimacy, and I was still grieving.” She ran a finger around the half-empty glass. It sounded like the musical note ‘C’ to Jordan. “Lately, though, I’ve been slowing down and thought it would be nice to get to know someone again.” She looked at Jordan, and her expression held interest. “You flatter me. I’ve mourned my wife, but it’s hard to find someone to compare to her, to what we had. Maybe I should just settle for uncomplicated.” He grinned. “Like you.” She laughed. “Oh, you’re as bad as Henry.” She drank some of her wine. “You don’t think we’re too old?” “Not in the least,” he replied. “We just do things a little slower, that’s all.” She chuckled. “You’re a rascal, aren’t you?” “Possibly,” he replied. “Not all those rumours about me were lies. I also have a house on a lake in the mountains, if you’d like to see it.” She winked. “I have one, too. Maybe we could spend time at each other’s places, see which one we like better.” Jordan grinned and clinked his glass with hers. “Deal.”

Hair & Beauty Tips: The Power of Olive Oil Olive oil is definitely a superstar amongst all the oils. It has been around for centuries and its magical powers are still being discovered even today. We of course know that this beautiful amber oil has many benefits when it is used for cooking and as dressing for yummy salads. It is also known to have wonderful effects on the skin. But the question here is olive oil good for dandruff treatment? The answer is yes. This is great news for those who suffer from dandruff because olive oil is believed to have magical properties that can help you do away with annoying flakes from your scalp and hair. How to Use Olive Oil for Dandruff & Dry Scalp Treatment? Using Olive oil for dandruff does not take long, so it is a big ‘YES!’ as you do not need to spend hours every day trying to clear your scalp and hair. Here are tips to treat your hair with olive oil: The first step to treat your hair with olive oil to get rid of dandruff is to thoroughly wet your hair with warm water. Wetting your hair allows you to make sure that your scalp can be oiled properly, rather than targeting only the dry follicles of your hair. The next step is to warm the olive oil. Easy enough, right? But why warm the oil? Warm oil does wonders in treating dandruff than cold oil. It also helps you relax and improves the blood circulation which in turn promotes hair growth!!
Now that your oil is warm, gently massage it onto your scalp. A great tip is to divide your hair into sections so that to ensure that every part of your scalp is well-oiled. Now that you have covered your scalp with the olive oil, cover your head with a towel or a shower cap. You may ask why? Well, a turban helps the oil saturate your scalp and infuse the follicles of your hair as well. How long should you leave in the oil? 30 minutes is more than enough for the oil to work its magic on your scalp and hair. The next step is to shampoo and rinse thoroughly. You can condition your hair as well, if necessary. But be sure to use a mild conditioner that does not aggravate dandruff. It is best to let your hair dry naturally. Blow-drying dries your scalp and hair and may contribute to dandruff. You can also use olive oil with apple cider vinegar to see better results. This mixture is known to cleanse your scalp and revitalize dull, lifeless roots. For people who have greasy or oily scalp, this is the best mix.
