Dear Readers,

Now I am an animal lover with 4 dogs and 3 cats in our household and I know that for some these are desperate times but I cannot understand how someone can just abandon their animals when the going gets tough.

Translated by: I.K.G Language Services

Have a look at page 12 to find out all you need to know about the Pet Passport scheme which you will need if you want to take your animals with you to the UK. This way if you do need to return at least you can be prepared in advance or have time to make alternative arrangements.

GHOSTSOF GIRLFRIENDS PAST

McConaughey’s character is named Connor Mead.

On his way to attend the wedding of his brother, Paul to Sandra, Connor simultaneously breaks up with three women while seducing a fourth, which at least saves the audience some time in getting to know how big a cad he is.

At the rehearsal dinner, Connor goes briefly off-book to borrow from one of Dickens’ contemporaries, basically claiming that marriage is the opium of the masses, and a drug in which he would never indulge.

Overhearing from the hereafter is Connor’s late uncle Wayne, a man who lived (and dressed) like Hugh Hefner, allegedly invented the term MILF and raised Connor like a son (or, to be more precise, like a son of a - well, you get the idea).

Connor, like Scrooge before him, at first believes the shade of his uncle to be an undigested bit of Scotch, a blot of Champagne, a crumb of olive, a fragment of fine port - in short, that there is more of spirits than of spirit about him, whatever he is.

Cue the ghosts, the first of whom reminds Connor of his sordid romantic past. The second shows him what people think of him in the here and now. And the last? Well, if you’ve read Dickens - you’ll know what to expect.

Along the way, wedding cakes get knocked over, the bride-to-be’s parents are revealed to be amalgams of characters from Meet the Fockers, and we are given the opportunity to ponder in how many ways a line like “He’s not as dumb as he looks” can apply to the likes of McConaughey/Connor.

Garner & McConaughey’s Smelly Introduction Garner left the cast and crew holding their noses thanks to a run-in with a skunk before work.

One of the actress’ dogs was sprayed the night before her first day on set - and she couldn’t get the stench out of her hair and clothes.

Garner thought she’d avoided on-set humiliation - until co-star Matthew McConaughey’s sharp senses picked up her odd scent.

She says, “This was unlike any skunky smell I had ever smelled. The next day it was my first day at work and I was with Matthew and he’s so dreamy and so I showered and showered and washed and washed.

“I was sitting next to him and they always make you kiss on the first day. And we’re about to do this scene and he’s like, ‘Does anybody smell something? I smell skunk.’ The skunk stayed with us for months.”

The world’s leading regatta circuit, the 2009 Audi MedCup Circuit made up of five events in four European countries, starts on May 12th. Eleven TP52s from nine countries will race for the The City of Alicante Trophy.

The American Quantum, helmed by former Star sailor Terry Hutchinson, is defending champion. Other Star sailors helming are Guillermo Parada for the Argentine Matador; Paul Cayard with Spain’s Desafio, Riccardo Simoneschi for the Italian Audi Sailing Team; Afonso Domingos with the Portuguese entry, Bigamist; and Sergey Shevtsov on Valars from Russia.

A fleet of six GP42s will also compete on the Audi MedCup Circuit for the first time, racing one day after the TP52s. Jose Maria van der Ploeg will be at the helm of the Spanish entry, Madrid About Sailing.

8 Town & Country

Whilst each of the five regattas stand alone as an individual event, winning the circuit requires the best score from all events. Sailing is a mechanical sport draws comparisons with to motor racing. The obvioussimilarities are profressional team, the competition, the equipment and different strategies for different race tracks. As in Formula 1 racing success comes to the team with the right combination of preparation, speed, driving skill, reliability and good tactics.

With the Audi MedCup Circuit the classes of boat used are the TP52 and the GP42 and although they all look similar to the untrained eye, they are as subtly different from each other as the starting grid of a Formula 1 motor racing Grand Prix.

The Audi MedCup Circuit represents the top of the sport today and attracts the very best designers, sailors and please tell our customers where you saw their advertisement

technicians, and this has inspired many owners to participate and to continue to participate along the four year history of the Audi MedCup tour.

The Audi MedCup Circuit, now in its fifth year, will travel to five different venues from May through to September.

But it is not all about work. Summer racing means taking in some of the most beautiful sailing locations in the world. The Mediterranean has many ports capable of staging prestigious competitions.

One key feature of the circuit is to take it on a logical, pragmatic route making it easiest on the teams in terms of logistics and travel, starting in Alicante and finishing up in Cartagena only (120 kms) to the south, having taken in the South of France, Sardinia, Portugal’s Algarve.

The cross section of sailors continues to be remarkable - Olympic medallists like Ross Macdonald, Thierry Peponnet, Luis Doreste, Jordi Calafat, Natalia via Dufresne, Sofia Bekatorou, Jochen Schuemann, Ian Walker, Mark Reynolds, José María van der Ploeg, Rafa Trujillo,... have all competed or sail on the MedCup Circuit. Round the world sailors, Ray Davies, Terry Hutchinson, John Kostecki, Andrew Cape and Roberto Bermudez sail on, or have competed on the Circuit as have America’s Cup sailors like Dean Barker, Russell Coutts, Paul Cayard, Tomasso Chieffi, Paolo Cian,...

In addition to this one cannot underestimate the support of HRH Juan Carlos of Spain, a regular sailor on the Circuit aboard Bribon. please tell our customers where you saw their advertisement

Horoscopes - May Aries

Taurus

Gemini

You’re making up for lost time! While your love life has been complicated recently, and others may have undervalued your worth, you’re now strutting your stuff. Extremely magnetic, the world is appreciating your unique and straightforward style. Gifts may be forthcoming, and friends delight. It’s time to review your finances, especially with a potentially high-spending month ahead of you.

While you’re certainly getting noticed there is a lot going on behind the scenes. A deliciously private love affair might figure this month. Support for your career, or a whole new vision of where you want your professional life to go, comes now. Professional charisma runs high, but try to avoid situations that could lead to gossip.

You have a lot of energy to pour into friendships, group projects, or goals.

Personal charisma and creativity in group settings is powerful all month.

Singles might very well meet their match through friends and group associations.

Attached Geminis will find much joy and understanding with their partner.

A business partnership is a strong possibility, and travel through business especially rewarding.

Cancer

Leo

Virgo

Professionally speaking, you’re enjoying an invigorating and creative peak. Your charisma is brilliant this month, and singles might find opportunities to meet a special someone through business events.

Those of you looking for a job will find this a strong period for getting noticed in a most positive way.

Relationships are likely to be deliciously complicated this month. Professional pursuits get a lot of attention, but you still manage to find time for exciting adventures that break the routine. It’s a strong month for creative communications, whether they involve promotional efforts, creative writing, or simply reaching out to others in an especially personable way. Avoiding risks on a financial level is especially important in May.

Financial creativity runs high this month. You’re in a position to come up with unique and powerful ways to increase your income. Career matters might challenge you with occasional complications and the need to sacrifice more of your time. You’re entering a period in which attracting what you want on the job front is easy.

Libra

Scorpio

Sagittarius

This is a close to idyllic time for enhancing or attracting a romantic relationship.

Your major focus is on a partnership, and putting your own personal agenda aside for the time being. Stimulating and spicy moments are par for the course. On a romantic level, the potential to be starryeyed is great. However, you should watch for keeping your expectations reasonable, or you’re liable to gloss over facts.

Wonderful energy is with you for work and health. Charisma on the job can mean getting noticed for your creativity or opportunities to socialize through work connections. Some of you will find an office flirtation or romance is heating up. Negotiations or conversations with a partner may be revisited this month, perhaps with some frustration.

An exciting, playful, and stimulating month is ahead. May brings abundant opportunities to enjoy hobbies, entertainment, and romance. Your charm is natural and finds an adoring audience.

Recently there was a lot of talk and “busyness” on the job and this month you’ll be revisiting them, and perhaps redoing tasks that you thought were completed.

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

Your home and family life is lively and spirited. You’re in demand and more than willing to help out a friend in need.

Money-making ideas are abundant and you’ll have to take the time to sit down and judge how realistic each is before acting upon them. Singles will find romantic opportunities close to home.

Focus on family and communications feature strongly. Conversations with family members are revisited but care should be taken in expressing yourself with clarity, as misunderstandings are likely. However, in general, your conversational skills are superb this month, attracting more than one admirer! Romantic or creative communications figure strongly.

You are likely to expand your career pursuits and business connections.

Opportunities on the career front can seem to arrive out of the blue, and could come from past connections. Impulsive buying is a real tendency this month.

A partnership requires attention, and going over recent conversations could be frustrating but necessary in order to clear up confusions.

Pet Passports

Give your pets a thought! You do n’t need to abando n them if you ha ve to move away.

Most UK residents in Spain, have moved here ¨permanently¨, however most of us have left family, friends and loved ones behind. In case of an emergency return to the UK, do you know what you need to do to take your much loved pet with you?

Too many times, people have had to leave Spain at a moments notice and have not thought about their ¨cherished pet¨ and have either left them behind as strays or taken them to a ¨rescue society¨ for re-homing. How sad

You can never sa y “I will never go back to the UK to live.”

for the pet who does not understand.

I once saw a dog abandoned by its owners at a roundabout near the country club in Camposol.

I came back to the roundabout 5 hours later and the dog was still there, looking scared and ¨waiting for its owners to return¨. It was a lovely friendly dog, but stayed where it was left and was probably thinking, ¨they will be back for me soon¨ as would any lost child. The dog was taken in by a local family who fostered the dog until a permanent home was found. A happy ending, but so un-necessary.

To help keep you all as ¨one happy family¨, get your pet a passport and keep it up to date.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

To bring your dog or cat into the UK or to another EU Country, you must have it micro chipped first, then vaccinated against rabies and then blood tested. You can check out the Defra web site to obtain all the relevant details.

Although this is a UK site, the procedures from Spain are the same.

http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/pets/procedures/owners.htm

12 Town & Country

please tell our customers where you saw their advertisement

THE PROCEDURES Have your pet micro chipped

Your pet must be fitted with a microchip so that it can be properly identified.

Your local vet can do this for you.

Have your pet vaccinated

After the microchip has been fitted your pet must be vaccinated against rabies. There is no exemption to this requirement, even if your pet has a current rabies vaccination. This can be done any time after it has been implanted with a microchip.

Arrange a blood test

After your pet has been vaccinated, it must be blood tested to make sure that the vaccine has given it a satisfactory level of protection against rabies. A satisfactory blood test result must show that the rabies neutralising antibody titre was equal to or greater than 0.5 IU/ml. Make sure your vet gives you a certified copy of the blood test result with the microchip number correctly shown.

If your pet’s blood test is satisfactory, you should ask a vet to issue you with an EU pet passport. You will not be able to bring your pet into or out of the EU under the Scheme until 6 calendar months have passed from the date that the blood sample was taken that gave a satisfactory result.

6 MONTH RULE for

The entering or re-entering the EU:

Pets may not enter or re-enter the UK until 6 calendar months have passed from the date that a vet took the blood sample which gave a satisfactory test result. Your pet requires only one blood test and 6 months wait provided

please tell our customers where you saw their advertisement

Town & Country 13

all subsequent rabies booster vaccinations are given by the required date. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary documentation for your pet to enter or re-enter the EU. Make sure that it is correctly completed and your pet meets all the rules. If you do not, your pet may not be able to enter the country or may have to be licensed into quarantine on arrival. This will mean a delay and cost you money.

HOW TO GET AN EU PET PASSPORT For animals in EU countries, a vet in that country will issue the passport.

When you go to get the passport take your pet, its vaccination record and, if applicable, the blood test results. The documents must show your pet’s microchip number. Also take evidence of the date your pet was micro chipped.

Make sure that the vet correctly completes sections I-IV of the passport, and V if the animal has had a satisfactory blood test.

VALIDITY OF THE PASSPORT

Do the honourable thing Now! Remember, Pet’s are for life.

They ask for nothing but love!

14 Town & Country

The passport will become valid for entry or re-entry to the EU 6 calendar months from the date that the blood sample that gave a satisfactory test result was taken. The re-entry date is not shown on the passport so you should make a careful note of it. For example,

please tell our customers where you saw their advertisement

if the blood sample was taken on 1 January, the earliest your pet would be able to enter the EU is 1 July. The passport will remain valid provided your pet is re-vaccinated by the “Valid until” date in section IV.

21 DAY WAIT

For EU countries where more stringent entry requirements do not apply, the EU has introduced a wait of 21 days from the date of the first rabies vaccination before a pet can enter those EU countries. However, if the vaccine manufacturer’s data sheet requires more than one vaccination to complete the primary vaccination protocol, the 21 day wait applies from the date of the final vaccination of that protocol.

Your vet will advise you further.

Booster vaccinations are valid for entry from the date given provided they are given on time (according to the instructions in the vaccine manufacturer’s data sheet where the previous vaccination was given).

Horoscopo - Mayo Aries

Tauro

Géminis

Estás recuperando el tiempo perdido.

Mientras que tu vida amorosa se ha visto complicada, últimamente los demás no te han valorado tanto y ahora estás en posición de presumir. Estás hecho un imán y el mundo está apreciando tu estilo único y sencillo. Te llegarán regalos y tus amigos estarán felices. Es tiempo de revisar tus finanzas, sobre todo ahora que te llega un mes con bastantes gastos.

Aunque la gente se está fijando en ti, hay muchísimo ajetreo detrás del telón.

Puede que haya una aventura amorosa privada este mes. Ahora te vendrá el apoyo para tu carrera y una nueva visión de cómo deberás encarrilar tu vida profesional. Tu carisma está muy alto actualmente, pero intenta evitar aquellas situaciones que te conviertan en objeto de marujeo.

Tienes energía de sobra para repartir entre amistadas, proyectos en grupo y objetivos. Todo este mes figurarán tu gracia y creatividad personal en ámbitos de conjunto. Es probable que los Géminis solteros tropezaréis con una pareja a través de amigos o asociaciones. Los que ya estéis emparejados encontraréis mucha alegría y comprensión con vuestra pareja. Una asociación de empresa es una fuerte posibilidad, y un viaje corporativo será bastante gratificante.

Cáncer

Leo

Virgo

Desde el punto de vista profesional, estás gozando de estar en una cima vigorizante y creativa. Tu atractivo sobresale este mes, y es posible que los solteros encontréis a alguien especial a través de un acontecimiento laboral.

Los que estéis buscando trabajo verán que éste es un buen mes para que tomen nota positiva de ti.

Las relaciones serán deliciosamente complicadas para ti este mes. Te concentras más en las actividades profesionales, aunque todavía tendrás tiempo para unas aventuras excitantes que rompen la monotonía. Es un buen mes para la comunicación creativa, tanto si se trata de asuntos de promoción, la escritura creativa o simplemente conectar con los demás de una forma personal y afable. Evitar los líos financieros también es muy importante en el mes de mayo.

Este mes figura la creatividad financiera. Estás en una posición de inventarte formas únicas y potentes de aumentar tus ingresos. Asuntos laborales te presentarán pequeñas complicaciones y el tener que dedicarles más tiempo. Entras en un periodo donde escoger lo que quieres profesionalmente se te dará muy fácil.

Libra

Escorpión

Esto es un momento casi idílico para atraer o mejorar una relación romántica. Tu principal enfoque está en tener una pareja, y de momento apartar tu agenda personal.

Momentos picantes y estimulantes están en la carta para ti. A nivel romántico, las posibilidades de estar enamoradísimo son grandes. Sin embargo, deberás vigilar que tus expectativas sean razonables o te encontrarás pasando por alto los hechos.

Tienes una energía maravillosa para asuntos de salud y trabajo. Tu atractiva personalidad en la oficina supondrá que tomen en cuenta tu creatividad u oportunidades para socializar a través de vínculos profesionales. Puede que este mes las negociaciones o conversaciones con un socio se vuelvan a dar, aunque quizás con un grado de frustración.

Te espera un mes divertido, juguetón y estimulante. Mayo te trae una abundancia de oportunidades para disfrutar de los pasatiempos, el ocio y lo romántico. Tu carisma es natural, y cae sobre un público que te adora. Últimamente hay mucho discurso y ajetreo en los negocios y este mes los reanudarás: quizás desempeñando tareas que dabas por terminadas.

Capricornio

Acuario

Piscis

Tu vida doméstica y familiar está animada y con valor. Estás muy solicitado y mas que dispuesto en ayudar un amigo necesitado. Son muchas las ideas que te vienen en cuanto a proyectos rentables y necesitarás tomar tu tiempo para asesorar el grado de realismo de cada uno antes de actuar. Los capricornios solteros encontrarán oportunidades románticas cerca del ambiente doméstico.

Destacan el enfoque en la familia y las comunicaciones. Conversaciones con parientes se reanudan aunque deberás tener cuidado en cuanto a expresarte con claridad, dado que es probable que haya malentendidos. Este mes, por lo general, tus destrezas comunicativas son magníficas, atrayéndote más de un admirador.

También destaca lo romántico y comunicaciones creativas.

Es probable que extiendas tus actividades profesionales y asociaciones empresariales. Te dará la impresión de que las oportunidades laborales serán completamente inesperadas y pueden provenir de viejos vínculos. La compra compulsiva es algo real este mes. Una asociación requiere tu atención: repasando recientes conversaciones puede ser pesado aunque, eso sí, necesario par aclarar las confusiones.
