JUNE/JULY
So into the month of June and we have upgraded the magazine, redesigned the front cover, taken a few things out and put a few new things in. As I write this it looks as though the sun has come out from behind the clouds and hopefully you can put the bottles of fake tan back into the bathroom cabinet. This month we look at the latest in summer make up for the ladies, we indulge in a very nice recipe for Salmon Ravioli and prepare ourselves for some of the fiestas that are about to start. I would like to welcome Robert Burns who guides you through the pension maze, Mark Paddon is on the hunt for bargain properties and Gregor is making the most of the sun in his Solar column. The website is making superb progress and we have now added a forum where you can come online and leave your messages, news, views and as we do like a chuckle in the office don’t forget to put up your latest jokes! On a final note my husband told me he is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, I locked him in the cellar. How mature is that? Anita XX

Pssst.... Sting heads for Little Britain
Sting is to appear on the US version of 'Little Britain'. The 'Roxanne' singer has a cameo role in 'Little Britain Sting in the Tale USA', and has been seen shooting scenes for the programme on the streets of Los Angeles. A source said: "He was acting and singing as well as playing a strange instrument which looked like a sitar crossed with a handheld harp." 'Little Britain' creators Matt Lucas, 34, and David Walliams, 36, are writing and starring in the new series which is being directed by 'Friends' actor David Schwimmer and is based on the duo's hit UK show. Matt and David have created several new characters for the programme - which will air on US network HBO later this year - but it will also feature many established favourites, including Daffyd Thomas, Sebastian Love, Marjorie Dawes and Vicky Pollard. Matt said: "We're mixing it up. We're writing six new American characters and the rest will be old favourites. How could we not take Vicky and especially Marjorie to America? The new characters range from the nice to the really gruesome."
Britney turning into a pussycat?
Britney Spears is to make an appearance in the new Pussycat Dolls video. The troubled singer was spotted in Burbank, California meeting up with the girl group, who are shooting the promo for 'When I Grow Up' there. An insider said: "She is doing a cameo in their new video shoot." Britney once appeared with the Pussycat Dolls as part of a special performance for her older brother Bryan's birthday. The video is the latest venture for Britney, 26, who has been trying to get her life back on track since her breakdown in January. It was revealed last week that she is in talks to star in and produce a new TV show, following her successful cameo appearance on comedy show 'How I Met Your Mother'. A source said: "Britney met with Roy Bank, the president of Merv Griffin Entertainment. It was a serious meeting and they spoke about various programme ideas - including a new music show." The 'Gimme More' star has also reportedly been approached about taking on the role of Sandy in a Broadway revival of hit musical 'Grease'.
Queen Latifah to design fragrance
Queen Latifah is to launch her own perfume, following in the footsteps of actresses J-Lo and Sarah Jessica Parker and singer Christina Aguilera. E!Online reports that the Hairspray actress has signed a deal with Parlux Fragrances to create her own signature scent, which will be available to consumers next autumn. "For me, beauty really does start on the inside," Queen said in a statement. "It's like a state of mind - a state of love, if you will. "So, I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: Scent expresses a woman's confidence and sensuality. It's how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength." But before she starts creating the scent, Queen has a couple of movie projects on
the go. She'll next be seen alongside Paul Bettany, Jennifer Hudson and Dakota Fanning in adventure drama The Secret Life Of Bees, out this October, and also provides a voice to animated movie Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs.
A double whammy for Dannii!
Last year's X Factor was full of tears, tantrums and tunes - and that was just between Shazza and Dannii. The new series has got off to a bumpy start as Dannii Minogue has been the first judge to sign, seal and deliver her new ITV1 contract. The 36-year-old Aussie has negotiated a £500,000 pay rise, which has almost doubled her money. Dannii's made it a double triumph, scooping TV Personality at the Glamour awards. She is also now tipped to get a guest slot on the next series of American Idol - again resulting in a bumper pay day. Louis Walsh is about to return his own lucrative X Factor contract and, of course, Simon Cowell, is already confirmed as the final panellist.
100,000 on Beverley Hills Bling!
Rihanna and Chris Brown splashed out recently, buying each other extravagant gifts costing £100,000. The couple visited top jeweller Jason Arasheben of Beverly Hills to choose necklaces. ‘Chris went for the heart theme while Rihanna chose a diamond encrusted cross to give to him,’ Jason tells the News Of The World. Chris, 19, and Rihanna, 20, have been linked since February but still haven't confirmed they're an item.
Jay-Z’s Festival Party
Jay-Z is planning several parties to celebrate his forthcoming Glastonbury festival appearance. The rapper - real name Shawn Carter - is determined not to let critics of his headlining slot at the world famous UK event spoil his fun. He has already ordered cases of £300 bottles of Armand De Brignac champagne for his bashes, which are believed to be taking place in both the US and UK. Newlywed Jay-Z - who married long-term girlfriend Beyonce Knowles in a secret ceremony in April - is also set to arrive at the Somerset festival site, famed for its mud and bad weather, in style. The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Jay-Z will have a top-of-the-range helicopter to fly him in with champagne and the works."

DID YOU KNOW.....
According to gastronomic research, there are at least 9,000 sauces in the different Italian regions, but it is easy to create your own and combine this with the appropriate pasta shape.
Thin pasta such as spaghettini are better with sauces based on tomato, oil and vegetables rather than heavy, sticky sauces with cheese etc. Short, medium sized pasta are better with butter and grated cheese. Short, thick pasta are appropriate for both simple and elaborate sauces.
New low-calorie Chocolate chewing gum launched
CHEWING gum with all the taste of chocolate but hardly any of the calories is being launched. Aimed at chocoholics who don't want to pile on the pounds, each pellet has under five calories. Cadbury's new Sweet Kicks gum has a liquid chocolate centre in a minty outer case. The firm reckon it's the Holy Grail of the confectionery world because experts say chewing gum for an hour burns 11 calories. Cadbury's chief Trevor Bond said: "It provides a moment of pleasure in a sugar-free gum."
Salmon Ravioli
Salsa de mejillones
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE FILLING 100g/3½oz king scallop meat or 2-3 king scallops, removed from their shells and cleaned 100ml/3½fl oz double cream 600g/1lb 5oz salmon fillet, skinned and chopped few fresh coriander leaves, chopped few fresh basil leaves, chopped squeeze of lemon juice FOR THE DRESSING 1 tbsp soy sauce 4 tbsp sesame oil (not toasted sesame oil) 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 2.5cm/1in piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
METHOD 1. For the filling, place the scallops into a food processor and pulse a few times to mince. With the motor running, gradually add the cream until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the chopped salmon pieces, coriander, basil and a squeeze of lemon juice. 2. For the dressing, whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Add the ginger and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 3. For the ravioli, roll out the dough to the thinnest setting on the pasta machine. Cut the sheets into 24 rounds using a pastry cutter. 4. Divide the salmon mixture into 12 equal portions and spoon onto the centre of 12 pasta circles. Brush the edges lightly with the beaten egg and place the remaining pasta circles on
salt and freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE RAVIOLI 500g/1lb 1½oz fresh pasta dough 1 free-range egg, beaten splash olive oil
TO SERVE 1 tbsp olive oil 150g/5¼oz spinach leaves salt and freshly ground black pepper 1-2 sprigs fresh basil, leaves torn 1 sprig fresh dill, chopped 1 sprig fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped top. 5. Press together to seal the edges. Trim the edges of the ravioli with scissors or a pastry cutter. You need 12 ravioli to serve three per person. Save any leftover pasta for another day (store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days). 6. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil, adding a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook the pasta for 3-4 minutes, then drain. 7. Meanwhile, to prepare to serve, heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan and wilt the spinach for 1-2 minutes, adding salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Drain the spinach. 8. To serve, arrange the wilted spinach into the centre of each serving plate. Place the salmon ravioli on top and drizzle with the dressing. Scatter with a few torn herb leaves
INGREDIENTES ¼ kg. de puerros 1 tronco de apio 1 lata de tomates al natural Sal Pimienta 1 diente de ajo deshecho 1 lata de mejillones ¼ de vaso de vino blanco 1 hoja de laurel 1 cdita. de hierbas aromáticas picadas Azúcar
What Wine?
Preparación: Picar muy bien los puerros, mezclarlos con el ajo y rehogar en un poco de aceite. Agregar los tomates picados, el apio picado, el vino, los condimentos, una pizca de azúcar y la hoja de laurel. Cocinar 15 minutos. Agregar los mejillones, probar, corregir el sabor y servir con cualquier pasta.
Wine with Pasta Dishes:
Tomato Sauce dishes go well with Chianti. This is the traditional Italian rule (broken everywhere you go in Italy), but it is true that a good chianti will always work together with a rich tomato sauce. Try it for yourself. If you are having a seafood pasta dish, try white wines such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon or dry Champagne.

MAMMA MIA
Meryl Streep will play the rebellious single mother of a bride-to-be who never met her father. The daughter invites three likely paternal candidates to her wedding, and the ensuing conflict triggers the performance of 22 Abba hits including "Dancing Queen," "Take a Chance on Me" and "The Winner Takes It All." Based on the crowd-pleasing musical that has played in 130 cities around the world and has grossed $1.6 billion since its 1999 opening. Versión cinematográfica del popular musical de ABBA. Amanda Seyfried interpreta a una joven que ha crecido en una pequeña isla griega, educada por una madre (Streep), rebelde en su juventud, que siempre se ha negado a revelar a su hija la identida de su padre. Cuando parece que al final la joven va a descubrir quién es su padre... aparecen nada menos que tres posibles candidatos
THE X FILES - I WANT TO BELIEVE
In grand "X-Files" manner, the film's storyline is being kept under wraps, known only to top studio brass and the film's principals. This much can be revealed: The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show's most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions. Mulder continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully, the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder's pursuits. Después de adaptar muchas historias del comic al cine ahora parece que la moda es hacerlo con las series de televisión como Expediente X (The XFiles: I Want to Believe). Tras el estreno de Los Simpson, muchos actores y directores de Hollywood han optado por hacer largometrajes de series. Con The X-Files: I Want to Believe vuelven los agentes Mulder y Scully y con ellos el misterio y los casos extraños a las oficinas del FBI.

Película basada en la novela de Julio Verne, 'Viaje al centro de la tierra', con efectos en 3-D en la que en la búsqueda por descubrir que le pasó a su hermano, un científico, acompañado de su sobrino y de su guía de montaña, descubrirán un fantástico y peligroso mundo en el centro de la tierra.
THE MUMMY - TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR
The blockbuster global Mummy franchise takes a spellbinding turn as the action shifts to Asia for the next chapter in the adventure series, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Brendan Fraser returns as explorer Rick O'Connell to combat the resurrected Han Emperor (Jet Li) in an epic that races from the catacombs of ancient China high into the frigid Himalayas. Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex (newcomer Luke Ford), wife Evelyn (Maria Bello) and her brother, Jonathan (John Hannah). And this time, the O'Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service. Tercera parte de La Momia, que narrará los viajes de Alex O'Connell a través de las tumbas prohibidas de China y el Himalaya, donde se encontrará con una nueva momia, un antiguo emperador chino maldecido por una bruja.
LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT!
Travel back in time now to around August 2007, yes that's right the month where Look For It Buscalo had a few problems getting the magazine delivered on time and despite all of our efforts, a two week delay sent all of our hard work that month into a downward spiral. Never mind, as we explained it gave us time to sit back, assess the situation and come back with vengence, which included cheaper advertising rates, massive distribution and in the long term more clients for all of our advertisers. Unfortunately that was not good enough for Mr Gordon Osborne in Villar Del Arzobispo, owner of Patio Del Karen. Despite offering our apologies and a larger advertisement as compensation, Mr Osborne thought he would take matters into his own hands! It was late last year that the phone calls started to come into the office, you know the sort of thing waiting until the person answered the phone and then immediately banging the phone down or keeping very quiet whilst the person at the other end gets frustrated - not realising that when we really get fed up with the antics we put the phone on mute and leave it on the office desk - play games during business hours expect to get a large phone bill! Childs play I know, but there you go, the show must go on and these minor irritations did not deter us! Then came the threats, calls on the mobile with promises of broken legs and visits to the office or home etc. Unpeturbed we carried on and ignored these calls making a note each time of the date and time of the call. One such phone call was even put on loudspeaker and was heard by a group of very entertained guests sitting with us. Well what sort of idiot gets a kick out of these things - Mr Osborne, it seems! Hang on, it doesn't stop there. Whilst dealing with a close friend who had been admitted to hospital in Valencia, our sales manager was left to handle the office single handedly. Low and behold, you've guessed, threatening phone calls to the staff was the order of the day. I'm going to come round
TV TALK
to your office and break your bosses neck! .......How very professional! Unfortunately this was very unnerving for her and she was left very upset and needed to leave the office and go home. This is of course to be expected, she's on her own and she had received a very abusive and threatening phone call from a man whom she has done no harm to whatsoever. But no, it gets worse....Realising that he is not getting a reaction from the owners' he then decides to make his next phone call and actually threatens the children! Informing us that he knew where the children went to school and he was going to be there one day. So what do you do...Well initial reactions - I'm afraid I cannot print - but being the sensible people we are our first port of call was our Solicitor who sent us straight down to the Guardia Civil to make a statement. Now, picture it, 3 children below the age of 13, one only 6, an extremely irate father, a very worried mother not daring to tell the children that this psycho was making these threats. Bring on the Guardia Civil! So after the statements, came the visit, and after the visit came the court case with not just one judge but 3 and witnesses thrown in for good measure! So you may ask, why are we making this public knowledge, well in normal circumstances we would let sleeping dogs lie but Mr Osborne seems to want to carry his vendetta on and voice his lies to anyone that cares to listen. So let us put the record straight.....Despite what you are told by Mr Osborne a) We have successfully taken him to court and won the proceedings with costs awarded b) We do not want Mr Osborne's business and will not take any further advertisement bookings from him and c) It is our choice not to distribute to his bar as we believe our magazine should be in more worthwhile places where people
CHERYL JOINS THE X FACTOR
ITV and talkback THAMES/ Syco TV announced that Cheryl Cole will join the judging panel on the upcoming series of The X Factor. The Girls Aloud star will take her place next to Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on this year’s search for a new singing sensation on the hit ITV show. Cheryl was catapulted to fame in 2002 when Girls Aloud won Popstars: The Rivals. The band’s debut single, Sound of the Underground, went platinum and reached the coveted Christmas number one slot staying at the top of the charts for four weeks. Girls Aloud have gone on to be one of the most successful British pop groups of the decade with a record-breaking 18 consecutive Top 10 singles, five platinum albums and four arena tours. Cheryl Cole said: “I’m so excited to be part of such a great show and although it’s scary joining a huge programme like The X Factor, it’s a massive honour to be following in the footsteps of Sharon Osbourne. The rest of the girls have said they’re right behind me, which is really
important for me as it will be weird to be on the other side of the fence this time. So whilst we get started on the next album, it will be brilliant to be a judge on The X Factor.” John Kaye Cooper, ITV’s Controller of Entertainment, said: “Cheryl is not only an amazingly successful, sassy and talented woman but through her winning Popstars: The Rivals has been through similar experiences to those hopefuls who want to take The X Factor crown. We’re delighted that she has joined the channel that discovered her and look forward to her becoming an important part of The X Factor team.” Cheryl will join Simon, Louis and Dannii in London for the start of filming along with ITV1 presenter Dermot O’Leary and new ITV2 host on The Xtra Factor, Holly Willoughby. The series returns later in the summer.

SMOOTH OUT YOUR SKIN hose that are lucky enough to have flawless skin may be able to go without it in the winter, but the rest of us still prefer to use foundation to help smooth out skin tone. Just because it’s hot, doesn’t mean your looks have to suffer. Here are a few tips on using foundation in the summer.
An important thing to remember when it comes to foundation is that your skin tone is likely darker in the summer than it is in the winter, so you may need to purchase a foundation that better suits your summer skin. It’s always best if you can buy foundation in a place with plenty of light, and natural light if possible, so you’ll get a better idea of how you’ll look when you leave the house. Do try to test a small amount of foundation before you buy, because the color could react with your skin and end up a slightly different color than how it looks in the bottle. Don’t forget to make sure the color will blend well with your neckline. DAZZLE WITH THE BODY SHOP The type of foundation you use may be dependant on how hot it gets where you live. If you live in the hottest of temperatures in summer, try to Finding the right find a foundation that advertises staying-power, which will help the shade for your foundation stay in place even on the hottest of days. Choose a liquid foundation over a cream, which will help your skin breathe and stay eye shadows healthy. Always apply moisturizer before foundation, as this will help ensure isn’t always as that the foundation goes on smoothly and creates a uniform color.

considered carefully with a few factors: the color of your clothes, your natural skin tone, the color of your hair and of course with the color of your eyes. Blue eyes The best shades for those women with blue eyes are: orange, pink, blue, brown, violet, white, toffee, caramel and gold, silver. If you add a bit of a peachy blush and a lighter lip gloss the effect will be glamorous. If your eyes are blue you should avoid applying eye shadows with green or red hues.
Green eyes If your eyes are green your best choice will be eyeshadows in peachy or pinky shades. The best shades for green eyes: copper, burgundy, fuchsia, rust shades as well as light golds, apricot, yellow greens, deep greens, purples, plums, and lavender shades. To achieve the best look use lipstick in darker shades or deep red. Avoid applying eyeshadows in blue shades and don’t forget to emphasize your eyes with a brown eyeliner and black mascara. Brown eyes Those women with brown eyes are lucky - they can wear almost all shades. The best shades for brown eyes: beige, toffee, fawn, chocolate, white, dark brown If your eyes are brown you should highlight them with black or Lustre Liner brown eye pencil or liquid eyeliner.

A spontaneous style yet with fashion detailing, true to itself, while incorporating lifestyle changes. New Woman, or formalwear from 8 in the morning to 8 in the evening, with strictly classic items featuring low waists, ultranarrow hems, basic colours and stripes in all widths and all directions. Outerwear, long or short, has trench details; the shirts, the current must-haves, also influence the cut of the tshirts and minidresses which become shirt dresses. Her like Him, basic men’s styles with feminine charm. Neutral tones with a touch of rosewood. Slouchy trousers top the bill yet when it’s the turn of skirts they must be fluid and floaty above the knee.

Everything’s Ethno, an unpredictable touch of folk; stateless fashion details tell of far-off lands: Peruvian stripes, Caribbean flowers, Japanese sleeves, African patterns, Indian jodhpurs and Nepalese layering. Sweaters, or a world of knits. Soft tricots in every colour, every stitch and every size to be worn with multicoloured leggings and tape knit shrugs. Stripes are endearing and enchanting decorations – horizontal, vertical, floral, openwork, ruched and gathered. The rugby polo shirt is offered in multiple lengths, even as far as the ankle.

Hi Everybody
For those of you that are not aware who has won the race for the new high definition DVD standard its "Blu Ray". From now on you should see all new DVD's released in this high definition standard, and as the Blu Ray format has a huge storage potential, you may find that one side of the DVD is in the old standard for those that have not yet made the move and bought a new Blu Ray player, the other side will be in the High definition format. I have not had the chance as yet to play around with a Blu ray DVD player, but I would think they will be capable of playing your old standard DVD's as well. As more people start to buy these new players the price will drop, and eventually the old standard DVD's will become a thing of the past just like the old VHS video tapes. I don't know about the rest of Spain, but Valencia had its fair share of major electrical thunder storms last month, and my
Computer Problem? Don’t Lose Your Head!!
answering machine was full up with people asking for help with computer problems. Network cards and power supply units being the main problem area. Most of these problems could have been avoided with the addition of a neat little gadget called a UPS, no not the courier firm, its full name is Uninterruptible power supply. This gadget is basically about the size of a shoe box and contains a battery and some other clever electrical circuitry. How it works is quite simple, you plug the UPS into your wall outlet and this starts to charge the battery, the battery feeds a device called an inverter, this changes the battery power to a voltage that is useable by your computer IE:240v. On the front of the UPS are 3 or 4 separate outlet sockets, you now plug your Pc and your monitor in to these sockets, there are also input and output telephone sockets, that you use to protect your router or modem. Also a USB connector, that plugs into
Got your telephone line or broadband connection but don’t know how to set it up for the internet? Call Computer
Kev on 962 760 978
your computer USB socket. What happens when your house electric goes ofs is that instantly the battery power takes over, this happens so fast that your computer is not aware that anything has happened and happily carries on working, for around 5 mins, then when the battery in the UPS gets down to around 30 percent charge left, it sends a signal via the USB cable to your computer and tells it to shut down. Just like you would shut down after you have finished using the computer. The UPS is great for those times when the electric keeps going on and off very fast as this is what can cause alot of damage, in this case the UPS doesn't have time to run its batteries down, so the shut down function never happens, you just keep working as normal. The telephone sockets are routed through some high voltage protection circuits that in the event of lightning striking the phone line will protect your router or modem. The normal battery backup sockets are also routed through this circuit and will cut off if spikes or surges come
through your domestic power supply. A basic UPS will cost around 70-80 euros, more expensive ones just have bigger batteries so you can work longer before it shuts down your system, but for general home use the cheaper basic UPS is just fine. Although the storms seemed to have passed now, its still a good investment and I would recommend you get a UPS, in the long run it could save you loads of money and expensive visits or call outs to your local PC repair man or shop. See you next month, and don't forget to back it up, its not if your computer will crash but when. Kev

FACTS
ABOUT SOLAR ENERGY
EDITORIAL COURTESY OF GREGOR
Did you know, that the energy that comes from the sun is equivalent to 10.000 times the complete energy consumption of the earth?
16
This month I am going to explain a little bit about solar energy and its applications in general. Everybody who has a got a car, knows that something important is happening at the moment with the energy prices. It seems that this is not a temporary situation, and that energy is more valuable each day. What can we do about this? Obviously the easiest thing to do, is to try to save energy. Less costs, less contamination and more resources for the future. What are the principal sources of energy used at the moment? Oil, gas, coal, nuclear power, ……wind, hydraulic energy, sun. Did you know, that the energy that comes from the sun is equivalent to 10.000 times the complete energy consumption of the earth? The radiation on a sunny day, getting to the earth is (here in the Levante area) higher than 1200 Watts (or 1,2 kW) per m2. That means that on a sunny day, during several hours, 1 square metre receives the same amount of energy, which could keep 30 light bulbs of 40W working. A house on a 1000m2 plot receives 1200kW the same amount of 30,000 light bulbs… or 1,200 hair dryers…. This is a lot of energy, and we can use an important part of this energy. Actually two different types of solar energy are mainly used. Electricity generation (photovoltaics) and heat generation (thermal energy). We will talk about thermal energy for domestic use in this article, which is the most efficient and cheapest way to use solar energy today. The possible range of applications for the use of thermal solar energy are really wide. It can be used for water heating, house heating and pool heating, which are the most common applications at the moment, but it can also be used for air conditioning (cooling), seawater desalinization, electricity generation with steam turbines and many other industrial uses. KW Solar specialise in the common applications for water, house and pool heating. For hot water and house heating we use vacuum tube solar collectors, which are the most efficient systems on the market. With this technology you can cover up to 90% of your hot water with solar energy. Having so much sun, and modern technologies, it is
www.Lookforit-buscalo.com
hard to understand, that so little of this energy is used here. It does not really make much sense to heat our water with electricity, oil or gas, if we can do it with the sun, FOR FREE!! If we talk about water heating for domestic use, apart from the ecological (no CO2) and financial aspects, we can find that a well designed and installed solar system can make life much more comfortable for us. If we compare the solar water heaters to the commonly used gas heaters, we find that we get higher water pressure and a water flow with a constant temperature, no matter how many tabs are open at the time. We do not depend on gas anymore and we don't have to take a cold shower, because we have forgotten to buy gas...... We have much less maintenance and a much more reliable system. Quote from an English couple from Javea who have installed one of our systems: “The best thing is that we don’t have to worry about the warm water anymore, especially when our parents come to visit us. It just works all the time!!” There are many possibilities when using solar energy in your household, saving money and helping the planet. Heating your domestic water, helping the floor heating of your house or maybe just heating the pool, doubling the swimming season. It is very important that the system is individually designed for the house, that its components are high quality and that the installation is well done. If you are interested in a solar system, give me a call on 96 5587742 or send an email to: info@kw-solar.es and I will be pleased to personally check out the possibilities of putting a solar system into your home and prepare a quotation for you for free.

ALGUNOS DATOS SOBRE LA ENERGÍA SOLAR Esta semana vamos a hablar sobre la energía solar y sus aplicaciones en términos generales. Todas las personas que tienen un coche pueden observar que últimamente algo está pasando con (el precio) de la energía, en este caso la gasolina o el gasoil. Parece que no es un fenómeno temporal y que veremos que la energía cada día es un bien de más valor. ¿Qué podemos hacer? Podemos ahorrar energía y utilizar fuentes de energía alternativas. Menos gasto para nosotros, menos contaminación y más energía para el futuro. ¿Cuales son las fuentes principales de energía usadas actualmente? Petróleo, gas, carbón, energía nuclear……..energía hidráulica, energía eólica…. energía solar. ¿Sabía que la energía que viene del sol es 10.000 veces el consumo energético de la tierra? La radiación en un día soleado que llega a la zona de Levante es sobre 1200 Watios por metro cuadrado (1,2kW/m2). Esto significa que en un día soleado durante varias horas, cada metro cuadrado de esta zona recibe la misma cantidad de energía que necesitarían 30 bombillas de 40W. Una casa en un terreno de 1000m2 recibe 1200kW, lo mismo que gastarían 30.000 bombillas o 1200 secadores de pelo!!! Esto es mucha energía y al menos una parte de ella se puede utilizar. Actualmente se usan principalmente dos tipos de energía solar. La energía solar fotovoltaica (placas solares que generan electricidad) y la energía solar térmica (calentar algo con la energía solar). Aquí hablaremos de la energía solar térmica para uso doméstico, que es la forma mas económica y sencilla de utilizar la energía solar. Principalmente lo que se hace es calentar agua (para ACS, calefacción o piscina) mediante la energía solar. KW Solar es una empresa especializada en energía solar para aplicaciones domésticas. Para agua caliente y calefacción utilizamos captadores solares de tubo de vacío, que son sistemas extremadamente eficientes, especialmente en invierno y además muy sencillos. Con esta tecnología podemos llegar a cubrir hasta el 90% de nuestro gasto energético para agua caliente. Teniendo tanto sol y las tecnologías actuales, es muy difícil de entender, ¡porque se utiliza estos sistemas tan poco! No tiene mucho sentido gastar petróleo, gas o electricidad para calentar nuestro agua, ¡si lo podemos hacer con el sol gratis! Si hablamos de le energía solar para ACS (agua caliente sanitaria), aparte de los aspectos ecológicos y económicos, se puede observar que un sistema bien diseñado e instalado es bastante mas confortable que un sistema convencional. Si se compara con los calentadores de gas, veremos
que hay más presión de agua y el agua viene siempre con una temperatura constante, independientemente de cuantos grifos estén abiertos a la vez. Además como ya no hay dependencia del gas, no se queda uno sin agua caliente de repente, porque había olvidado comprar gas…. El sistema solar requiere menos mantenimiento y es más fiable y duradero. Hay muchas formas de instalar un sistema solar en una casa, ahorrando dinero y preservando el medioambiente. Se puede instalar solo para el ACS, ayudar a la calefacción o calentar la piscina, alargando la temporada de la piscina. Lo importante es, que el sistema esté bien pensado y adaptado al sitio, que sus componentes sean de buena calidad y que la instalación esté bien hecha. Si están interesados en un sistema solar llámenme al 96 5587742 o mándenme un mail a info@kw-solar.es y estaré encantado de estudiar personalmente las posibilidades de poner el apoyo de calefacción con la energía solar para su casa y de prepararles un presupuesto sin ningún compromiso.

fin a nce Q R O P S: W h at c a n I do w i t h m y U K Pens io n S cheme? If you are a non UK resident with a UK pension fund did you know that you have the ability to "unlock" your UK pension funds and release them to a Government approved offshore location such as Guernsey? Transfers are done via QROPS or “Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes.”
QROP S: Po tentia l benef i ts o f t ra n sf e r ri n g U K p e n s io n r ig h t s o ff s h ore : A transfer to a QROPS can offer numerous significant advantages including: Freedom to Control Investments – the possibilities become more or less unlimited and can include antiques, jewellery, works of art and in certain circumstances, residential property. Flexibility to access funds at any time between the ages of 50 and 75 with the potential to access the funds outside these ages. No requirement to purchase an Annuity – under a UK scheme a possible tax charge of 82 % is payable if an annuity is not taken by the age of 75. Access to income and capital without deduction of tax. Transfer of the fund to future generations upon death. No deduction of tax at source. Taxation will apply in accordance with the legislation governing the QROPS scheme member’s country of residence. All of the above advantages become possible after your UK pension fund has been transferred to a QROPS and you have been a non UK resident for five complete tax years.
Q R O P S: H ow do t h e y w o rk ? Transfers are done via HM Revenue and Customs approved schemes called "QROPS" or "Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes". A transfer can take place to an approved scheme as soon as you become a non UK resident and intend to
WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY UK PENSION SCHEME?
BY ROBERT BURNS
remain so for the foreseeable future. HMRC maintain a list of approved schemes that is updated twice a month. An important safeguard is that if the proposed pension transfer is to an unapproved scheme the transfer can not take place. The transfer to an approved scheme can take place as soon as the person becomes non-resident from the UK but it is important that they intend to remain non-resident for the foreseeable future. For someone who has been a non UK resident for less than five complete tax years the benefits provided under the new scheme will be similar to those provided under UK law. After that point in time everything changes.
Q R O P S: I s i t s u i t a b l e f o r m e? QROPS transfers tend to be suitable if you now live permanently in Spain and have a UK pension pot in excess of £50,000. Typically, this can include anyone with: Deferred benefits in a Company Schemes, Public Sector Scheme including for example, teachers, doctors, nurses, police and members of the Armed Forces, and those with Personal Pensions. Transfers are not available for state pensions or to anyone who has started to take their pension as an annuity. However, they are available to those who are “drawing down” income from their pension fund but have not secured an annuity.
QROP S: Tak ing Ad vic e: The transfer of pension rights from any UK registered pension scheme is not a matter to be taken lightly. Where the transfer is from a UK occupational pension scheme any UK-based adviser advising on such a transfer must be suitably qualified and have the relevant permission granted by the Financial Services Authority.

Now it’s my turn! Ian Wylie, Yomel Inmobiliaria SL
I would like to first turn my attention to Mr Robertson who came to my office in December 2006, at the time he was living in Calles (Valencia) and had seen a property in Verche that he was interested in buying for sometime. The house had been left in a will to an old Valencian lady. The house was embargoed and he asked us to approach the owner regarding the purchase of this property, this we did, and we also paid off the embargo. May I point out that Mr Robertson, despite being advised to do so, did not use a solicitor because he was in a rush to get the property purchase through. Hence, he went to the notary and bought the property without legal advice. Once the purchase had been made we later discovered that there was 12,500 euros inheritance tax that had not been paid, an employee of Yomel spent four weeks negotiating with the previous owner. She was very reluctant to pay this debt despite it being hers, eventually we came to an agreement, the debt was paid and all of the paperwork was passed over to a Solicitor. Paperwork for this is currently held on file at our office. Mr Robertson then instructed us to reform the house, the house was in a state of ruin, he also asked for assistance as he required a mortgage. Problems arose, he could not obtain one due to his age, but finally a mortgage was arranged and he approached me to be a guarantor for him. From this point, things started to go wrong. May I add that Mr Robertson also ordered a jacuzzi and builders materials from a local builders merchants and put these items onto my account. I have all of the bills for these on file in my office. The budget for the works was 83,000 which was for a two storey house, including pool, garage, internal work, external work and roof. If you read through his statement in the newspapers the bill for the works was 83,000 euros, and 6 months later the outstanding amount of 8,000 still remains unpaid. Mr Robertson was also looking for further works to be carried out on the property but due to the fact that he has overspent, these works could not be undertaken. When work commenced I arranged for Mr Robertson to stay in a house in Casinos which had water and electricity, this property was owned by the company and was supplied totally free of charge. Two weeks later he made the decision that he wanted to move into the unfinished house because of his cats. I cannot be held responsible for Mr Robertson’s complete mismanagement of his finances and overspending, nor can I be blamed for his decision to move into a house that was not yet habitable. With reference to Martin's house in Casinos. The house has been legalised with a Valencian architect, the owner has the paperwork from the architect and again Martin has Invoices for the reform work, copies of these can be
After reading the article that has been published in newspapers both in the UK and Valencia, I have decided to respond to the accusations that have been made.
supplied. We then move onto the allegations that have been published concerning Natalie and Dennis Marcus-Bride, ex factory worker from Hull. I have a Building Permit for this work and the budget was 41,000 euros. When the works were underway the goalposts were moved and instead of sticking to the original materials quoted for, I was asked for top of the range kitchen worktops and tiles which alone would have cost 4,000 euros and many other extras that had not been accounted for in the original price, each day more work was added pushing up the original price. As for the rental accommodation, it was not a luxury villa, but it was supplied totally free of charge whilst the works were being carried out. How many estate agencies and builders offer their clients free accommodation? I am not obliged to do this but if I have a property that is available and not currently being rented out then I am more then happy to assist my clients. Now we have Claire Gregory and husband Derek. Again a property was purchased through my company and they were advised to use the services of a Solicitor, it did not have to be one that I recommended, they were quite free to find their own. Subsequently they contacted the Solicitor, who I occasionally use for property purchases (amongst others), he is independent and works for many other estate agencies. They requested that he act on their behalf and the Solicitor begun the necessary paperwork. What they have failed to state is that halfway through the paperwork they did not contact him and he did not get paid for the work they had instructed him to do. With regards to the legality of the property, there is a mortgage, the legal department of a large Spanish bank accepted a mortgage on the property, which implies that the property is totally legal. I reformed the house, new roof, extension and all of the interior of the house. I have not been paid for any works to date and we are now awaiting a court date. I will in the future once this is resolved, forward a copy of the Judge's decision to the newspapers that have printed these allegations. Natalie, real name Mrs De Silva (I have been authorised by Mrs De Silva to make this statement). She did pay 110,000 for her house and 40,000 for the renovation works. She was happy with the renovations and also stayed in accommodation whilst the works were being done and this was for a period of 4 months and not 6. Her property is totally legal, she has a Spanish mortgage and she used the services of a Spanish Solicitor. The Solicitor that I recommended to her, is one of a number of legal advisors that I have the contact details of, he is not a close associate of mine but his work is very thorough. His client list includes many
agents throughout the Valencia region and an extremely long list of high profile clients as well. Again all paperwork can be seen at our offices. My question is, if Mr Robertson believes I have acted in anyway illegally or illegitimately, then why has he not taken me to a Spanish Court so we can both put our points of view across. Secondly I would like to point out the statement that was written in the 2 newspapers, and I quote ‘newcomers to the area are concerned, especially those who do not speak Spanish, it appears that Mr Wylie is only too happy to take total control of all aspects of their relocation everything from selling and restoring a home to setting up bank accounts and taking in their mail. The trouble is that once they are dependent on him, they are at his mercy.’ I do not have any financial gain in arranging Post Office Boxes or Bank Accounts, it is a service that I am happy to provide to my clients to make their transition into Spain alot smoother. Unfortunately many expats arrive here, (which is an area predominantly Spanish and very little English spoken), not knowing a word of the language. When a problem arises the first port of call is to go back to the agent that has sold them the property or pay for the services of a translator. So the statement that has been made is accusing me of taking advantage of my clients when all I have done is offered a very good after sales service, even to the extent of helping to get children in a local school - at no charge at all! Would I be regarded as a better businessman if I turned these people away and left them stranded? Your damned if you do and your damned if you don’t! I would like to finish this article by stating that I have many extremely satisfied customers, my after sales service goes beyond the call of duty and I am a fully registered, tax paying company in Spain. IAN WYLIE, OWNER OF YOMEL INMOBILIARIA SL
Please note that the use of the Telegraph’s name in the company’s advertising was down to a member of staff, this person has now been dismissed. I can only offer my sincere apologies but this has now been dealt with.

PROPERTY WATCH BUYER
BARGAINS
Every cloud has a silver lining and a market downturn means that property price reductions are now clearly evident throughout the Valencia community. While this makes little difference to people moving within Spain (sell for less – buy for less) it is advantageous to buyers with cash in the bank, even when it is in Sterling, as available discounts often outweigh recent exchange rate changes. Those buying through a mortgage may find that the banks are now far less optimistic with their valuations and more stringent with their lending policy (very evident since the new year), though lower prices mean lower overall commitment and help to soften any rate increases. If you are knocked back by one bank it is certainly worth trying others or contact a mortgage broker for a wider look at what’s available. It is currently evident that buyers from different countries are behaving very differently. While many Brits are uncertain of what to do following exchange rate changes (and media scare mongering about isolated cases of loss), the Irish (already in Euros) see Spain as cheap living and a property bargain hunter’s paradise. The Germans are still suffering the after shocks of large scale tax investigations of assets held in Spain, while buyers from much further field including Canada and Russia are showing increased interest. Those that have owned in Spain for more than two years will generally have benefited from a significant increase in capital value, such that price reductions would have to move further to wipe out their gains (this excludes some areas of mass development where buyers paid over the odds in the first place, having been duped by false promises). Brit owners will also benefit if they convert their Spanish property back into pounds, and the lucky people that have owned structurally sound, legal properties for 5 years or more are still seriously ‘quids in’. (Remember few UK TV shows or news papers want to feature expats gloating about how well they have done, so it’s generally the disasters that get exposure resulting in an unbalanced media portrayal).

COMMENT FROM MARK PADDON I originally made comment to one of the journalists who writes a property section on behalf of the Telegraph, subject to her agreement that the draft article would be forwarded for my approval prior to publication. Despite a reminder, she failed to forward the article and it was published with the false statement that 'He..' (Mark Paddon) '..doesn't think the future bodes well for British property owners in the region'. I immediately e-mailed the journalist in question in

Property type:- 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, Villa on urbanization with own pool and 2200m2 plot (also close to golf) Location: La Lluca Price: €499k
Surveyor’s tips*: With a double plot established gardens and 400m2 build, a property like this would normally command far more money, indeed some buyers may be currently paying similar money for a 4 bed house elsewhere. This property is just a short drive from the beach with the amenities of Javea and some great local restaurants. A less prudent buyer could pay well over 1m for a similar property in this zone. Many large price reductions are due to personal circumstance, but always get the structure checked as some 'bargains' are due to serious defects such as subsidence, which may be costly to rectify. Legals and local plans must also be carefully checked including the registration of accommodation. Generally larger plots allow for retrospective licensing of added elements if not already registered.
complaint that I did not make that statement and that such a generalisation would only be relevant to owners of 'illegal properties'. In contrast it is my view that the region still presents considerable investment opportunity for property buyers and owners, with many people getting some great deals in what is a buyer's market. It is however important that all buyers do their homework and have the key aspects of their proposed purchase property checked by independent professionals.'

Property Type:- 5 bedrooms, three bathrooms, house including guest apartment and communal pool on established golf development. Smaller easily maintained plot. Location: La Sella Golf (just inland from Denia) Price: €250k
Surveyor's tips*: La Sella Golf offers relatively upmarket living and good rental potential, it benefits from a Marriott Hotel, attractive natural surroundings and proximity to coastal towns such has Javea and Denia. This property has a bank valuation of 360k but is on offer for mush less. It is the prefect option for those that need extra bedrooms but don’t want the hassle of garden and pool maintenance (it’s a ‘turn up and enjoy’ type of property). Though relatively new, all such properties deserve a close inspection for signs of structural movement, lower wall damp and flat roof ‘solariums’ should also be checked for leaks.
SUMMARY
I am often asked as to my personal opinion of the market. The best way I can give advice is to imagine what I might do with a spare 500k as well as assessing my own property investments. I would certainly not sell up my property in Spain, which has doubled in value over 6 years and is just part of a generally improved lifestyle and environment. I do own property investments in the UK, which have also doubled in value over the last 6 years (I don’t plan to sell, but if I did I would re-invest the money in Spanish property without delay). In the medium to long term I am perfectly happy to have property investments in both the UK and Spain. If (only) I had a spare 500k (whether in Euros or Sterling), I would have no hesitation in investing it in Spanish property. I would however do some dedicated shopping around, looking out for true bargains, which are now available and making sure
that the location and amenities were right. I would also make sure I was in a strong position to ‘strike a deal’, possibly making a lower offer in return for a fast completion and 10% deposit available within 10 days (subject to checks). Though every property must be assessed individually, I would generally steer clear of anything that was not fully legal and obviously anything with serious structural issues,(though I may well use evident structural issues to get a further price reduction). I would much rather get an ‘honest’ established resale property than a newbuild. If buying subject to a mortgage, I would look out for bargains which were likely to attract a higher bank valuation, I would also drop my proposed spend by 30% from what it might have been last year, so as to take a more disciplined approach and soften any exposure.

How to survive THE M
aside if you have savings to pay the mortgage and basic necessities, if this is not possible then limit your spending. The mortgage, the dreaded mortgage, banks have changed stance, they will only look at clients who have an impeccable credit history, for UK residents the EXPERIAN is obligatory and you must have a solid income source. Another good idea if you don’t speak Spanish is to seek help with a translator, to obtain an appointment with the Bank Manager and to sit down and talk if you think you are going to have problems, the Bank will be more receptive to you and appreciate your honestly. We can help you with these things don’t sit there waiting for things to get worse and don’t think one late payment of a mortgage doesn’t matter, it does matter. If you can’t easily pay the monthly payment then think about extending the term if that’s possible and if that’s not enough then think about a multi currency mortgage. Contact me at Cestym by email or phone or Simon at the estate agency. Remortgages are proving slow, very difficult and one must have full documentation, the bank rules, they also do not like giving out equity for you to buy what you want unless as I
ounting debts, reduced income or none at all, threats of repossession, escalating food and petrol prices, the end of the world as we know it! No just the turn of another cycle, the bubble has well and truly burst: Here are some suggestions, ideas, and opinions on how to make it through this difficult time. Many clients look to panic sell their properties, just like the stock market, try renting out, perhaps you can convert your existing property into two or more units, ring me and we can easily let you know if it’s possible. Renting is a boom business at the moment, remember the government is giving out grants to young people to rent. There are insurances you can take out to cover the rental income and damages etc. Is it time to venture into a new business, NO unless your sure its going to work, remember in a crisis the only businesses that do well are the basic necessities businesses and even then in the food business there are currently supermarket wars, take advantage and shop around, its not petty you can save a considerable amount on a months family shopping bill. We won’t discuss petrol. Put money
c.b.c estates
CRISIS
mentioned before you have everything and have a good credit history, solid income source and are not spending more than 40% of your income on loans, including the new revised loan. Send me an email with your situation and what your trying to achieve and I will let you know if it’s possible or not. Remember if your income figures are not sufficient to cover the lending here, and you have a family member or friend who is willing to help you we can include them on the mortgage and on the property deed, you can draw up a private legal document to put in black and white any private agreements. If you are in the privileged position of looking to buy then you can pick up real bargains at the moment, and if you can easily afford to pay a mortgage now you can rest assured this is probably as expensive as its going to get, property prices have fallen in virtually all areas and some prices match their 2003/ 2004 level which is a good buy for anyone with a buying hat on, also buying to let at the moment is a great business, but its got to be in the right areas, ring me to find out more. Rental yields of 10% and over are possible. If you are a builder/developer
and have a development to sell and the bank is getting uneasy with your financing then contact us as we have special financing available for builders/ developers with financing problems at present and property to sell. Lastly if you’ve tried everything and repossession is likely then look to rent out a property and contact us as it may well be easier for us to try and sell your property to cover the debt rather than let the bank do it in repossession however its all relative to the debt level the value of the property etc. You could also try swapping your property for another, downsizing, contact us for more details. That’s it for this month, if anyone requires the Spanish translation then contact me. Paul Condron
