MUSIC NEW RELEASES
The Fratellis: Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied The 4th album by Glaswegian rock trio ''The Fratellis''. Recorded in LA with Tony Hoffer, who also produced their first album smash “Costello Music”. This album is the sound of freedom and the sound of a band at the peak of their powers. That unique, bright clarity of California sunshine seems to permeate the record and the band channelled it to create an album that represents what they do best! It’s a fun, energetic and reminiscent of their 2006 debut. It’s wonderfully vibrant, playful and it’s a glorious homecoming with roots in both Scotland and LA. There are a few hidden gems in this album and it’s a pleasure to listen to.
Duran Duran: Paper Gods In the 80’s Duran Duran were the most successful new romantic band of the “second British Invasion”, helped by their stylish and sexually charged videos which received heavy play on MTV and set hearts and radios aflame. Now nearly 35 years later, Duran Duran are back with the captivating and contemporary “Paper Gods”. The LP will feature an interesting mix of artists including Kiesza, Mark Ronson, former Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist John Frusciante and actress Lindsay Lohan. According to a press release, Paper Gods aims to “capture the duality and sense of conflict at the heart of Duran Duran’s music.” Bassist John Taylor elaborated, saying, “It really goes back to that strange early Duran mix: the hard-edged pop, coexisting with this dark, weird, experimental side.” It is a sound that expands on their infectious early pop-dance style to fine effect.
Chemical Brothers: Born in the Echoes The undisputed masters of brain-altering, transcendent electronics return with their first studio album since 2010’s Further - released to coincide with headline slots at Glastonbury, Sonar and Bestival. The Chemical Brothers’ eighth studio album - Born In The Echoes is a magnificent eleven-track collection of lean, propulsive machine driven music. The album has a host of collaborators involved and the sound is of a reinvigorated group. With this album the Chemical Brothers are creating some of the most mind-expanding music of their career to date.

IS YOUR FACE STARTING TO LOSE TONE AND ELASTICITY? Body and Mind are proud to use CACI – the award winning, finest, non-surgical face lifting treatment available. With a celebrity following such as Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox and TV appearances on ‘10 Years Younger’ - CACI really is the ultimate aesthetic treatment for you. WHAT IS NON-SURGICAL FACELIFTING TREATMENT? CACI non-surgical face lifting treatment re-educates muscle and smooths skin giving a fresh new look. It’s a revolutionary computer aided micro current therapy that has been hailed the first real alternative to cosmetic surgery. This treatment is the result of over 20 years research and is both painless and relaxing. Lines and wrinkles are softened and refined whilst sagging muscles are tightened and lifted back to their original position. Developed by medics in hospitals as a way of treating facial palsy, it is a proven technology which can only be administered by a trained therapist. HOW DOES IT WORK For long lasting results, a course of ten sessions is recommended - taken twice weekly over 5 weeks. After your course you can have a 'maintenance' session once every 4 - 6 weeks. During each session all 32 facial muscles are gently manipulated using a series of precise movements. Soft cotton tipped wands are used on the face and transmit the micro-
current energy, restoring tone and elasticity. Results are visible after the first treatment - facial contours will look lifted and toned. In addition to general facial lifting other noticeable improvements you will see include: forehead lines smoothed eyebrows raised crows' feet diminished under eye-puffiness reduced cheeks firmed and plumped nose-to-mouth lines softened lip lines diminished sagging jawline lifted crepey neck smoothed skin elasticity restored pores tightened WHY TRY IT NOW? We are offering discounted packages with a total saving of over 30% of cost per treatment. We also offer a full range of treatments using the leading skin care ranges. Our speciality lies in our breadth of our expertise and the impeccable service we provide. For more information please check our website www.bodyandmindsalon.co.uk or call us on 0141 956 4008.

TRAVEL - SPAIN REAL SPAIN ON THE COSTA BLANCA If your familiar with Benidorm and Alicante, you may think your familiar with what the costa blanca is all about: English pubs and fish and chips. But you can also enjoy beautiful scenery and local culture by visiting Altea. If your looking for a cultural break to Spain but don't want to stay to far off the well-beaten track of the Costa Blanca, consider Altea. Despite lying just north of Benidorm and within an hour of Alicante by car, the city has the feel of an unspoiled Spanish fishing village. Remarkably, it has managed to retain its small-town charm and natural beauty despite the invasive spread of tourism in the area. It is the Costa Blanca, but not as you know it Altea is nestled in the edge of the mountains of Siera De Bernia and offers some of the most beautiful views of the Costa Blanca. Local regulations banning high rise hotels and buildings mean Altea is the areas least overdeveloped city and certainly the most attractive. Its Spanish feel attracts tourists who want to break away from the usual offerings of towns and cities with endless British pubs, fish and chip shops and clubs. Altea has an attractive harbour and seafront boulevard alongside the pebbly but picturesque beach that surrounds the town. As its centre is the
Plaza de la Inglesia, a popular gathering spot in the evening with beautiful views of the Mediterranean, and from which lead narrow cobblestone streets. By day you stroll through the Old Town (Casco Urbano), which sits atop a hill overlooking the sea and dominated by the famous church of Nuestra Senora del counsuelo, a piece of Mediteranean agriculture with a blue tiled doomed roof. From there you can lazily wander through attractive cobblestoned streets, past white washed houses, watch the fish unload daily at the busy harbour, relax on the pebbled beaches or shop at the weekly craft market near the harbour, where you can buy arts and crafts from local artisans. The market is open from Easter through to September.

A short drive to the little hillside villages surrounding Altea is a must, especially La Nucia to the north, which has a bustling Sunday market. Evenings in Altea are a far cry from the chaos of Benidorm. Eating good food comes before drinking gallon s of beer. The old town has plenty of cosy bars and charming restaurants in which you can enjoy the e v e n i n g . T h e Campomanes marina has a good but somewhat expensive choice of bars and restaurants. Alternatively you can go for an informal meal at Altea la Vieja's chiringuito, which are simple restaurants on the beach.
The hotel overlooks Altea bay and the historic town and offers superb facilities including the health and beauty spa. A selection of three and two star hotels are directly on the main beach promenade of Altea including the popular three star hotel Cap Negret.
If you are looking for fivestar accommodation, the hotel Melia Altea is your best choice, although it is located 3km out of town.

By James Baggott @CarDealerEd
MOTORING BMW i8
It looks like something from the set of Star Wars, drives like a supercar and costs £100,000. James Baggott finds out if the i8 is the car we’ve all been waiting for.
What is it? It’s rare a genuine landmark car arrives on the scene, but BMW have pulled it off with the simply staggering i8. Not only does it look like something from a science fiction movie, it has the technology from one too - but the good news here is this car is very real indeed. This is the German firm’s stake in the ground in the electric car market and proves supercars don’t necessarily need V8s to stir the emotions. Apparently. What’s under the bonnet? Ok, concentrate now, because this is a little bit more complicated than usual. The i8 features a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-pot engine that’s hidden behind the rear seats. Doesn’t sound very exciting, we agree, but there’s also a 129bhp electric motor which combines for an overall power output of 357bhp and 570Nm. That’s plenty of punch, enough to help it crack 60mph in 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 155mph. But the really
interesting thing is it does all that while returning an incredible 134.5mpg and emitting just 49g/km. What’s the spec like? Well, first up it’s worth noting this is a 2+2 so if you’ve got kids, or small adult friends, you can slot them in the back and take them along for the ride. There are also those awesome dihedral gullwing doors to marvel at every time you get in and out. Don’t expect to enter a petrol station and leave any time soon. Specification includes all the usual niceties you’d expect - such as Sat Nav, DAB radio, Bluetooth, heated seats and leather. Lovely. What do the press think? Auto Express praised it for its ‘stunning looks, low running costs and strong performance’, however they said the seats were cramped and the boot was small. Autocar added: ‘BMW would have you believe that the new i8 is the sports car of the future - and it’s a believable claim.’

What’s it like to drive? It’s like driving the future. From the moment you squeeze yourself through those funky doors across the wide carbon fibre sills to the minute you notice it glows blue inside at night, you feel like you’re starring in your very own Back to the Future movie. It makes an incredible noise as you power on, much of which is piped into the cabin via the speakers, but it’s still exciting nonetheless. It feels quick too. You sit low in the cabin, and with a rapid six-speed automatic gearbox that changes so fast you feel like it’s constantly accelerating, the sensations are heightened even more. Our Verdict If you’re looking for something that will stand out from the crowd and is packed with clever technology, the BMW i8 really is the supercar for you. It’s great to drive, turns heads like few other machines on the road and offers amazing eco credentials to boot. But at £100,000 it’s not cheap and we can’t help thinking a BMW M4 would offer just as many thrills in the driving department. But that’s not the point of the i8 - this car is about showcasing new technology and highlighting BMW’s electric car range, and it does that job very well indeed. And, if we’re honest, we’re very glad it’s here indeed. The Knowledge Model: BMW i8 Price: £100,000 Engine: 1.5-litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged plus electric motor Power: 357bhp, 570Nm Max speed: 155mph 0-62mph: 4.4 seconds MPG: 134.5mpg (combined) Emissions: 49g/km CO2 Target buyers Technology fans The rivals Porsche 911, Audi R8, BMW M4 Key Selling Points 1. The low emissions 2. The performance 3. The economy Key Selling Point It looks like nothing else on the road in a very cool way

CINEMA NEW TO SEE IN THE CINEMA
Man from U.N.C.L.E - Guy Ritchie Starring: Alicia Vikander, Henry Cavill, Arnie Hammer High octane stuff inspired by the classic TV series of the same name, we're transported back to the cold war frontline of the 1960s where CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB spy Illya Kuryakin embark on a joint mission to take down a secret criminal organisation which is bent on destabilising the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology.
array of different men. She lives by her father’s mantra that “monogamy is not realistic” and sees no reason to change.

Claim Back Your Lawns from Moss and Weeds with Greenthumb Hi, my name is Glyn Jones and I own your local branch of GreenThumb Lawn Treatment Service. Together with my wife Alex and my brother Barrie, we are on a mission to help you claim back your lawns from moss and weeds. So if you live in Bishopbriggs, Bearsden, Milngavie, Drymen, Killearn, Dumbarton, Helensburgh or pretty much anywhere thereabouts, then give us a call to arrange your FREE NO OBLIGATION lawn survey. We serve many hundreds of customers in these areas, and so we are totally au fait with the prevailing ground and soil conditions - generally speaking we are dealing with heavy, clay soil with a tendency to hold water, hence the proliferation of moss. Each lawn receives four pre-scheduled treatments throughout the spring, summer and autumn to help the grass stay fit and healthy, and better able to resist the main enemy of our lawns - moss. The battle against the moss will take more than feeding alone,
and so we have at our disposal professional machinery to hollow-tine aerate and scarify where appropriate. We are professionally qualified to NPTC Standard (PA1 and PA6) so you can have total confidence that we will responsibly use all of the tools at our disposal in a thoughtful and professional manner. We are more than happy to fully discuss the various aspects of our treatment strategies - we find the subject fascinating. We have many satisfied customers, who we now regard as friends, and we invite you to try us out and see if, together, we can bring a smile to the face of your lawn.

BEAUTY SHADES OF AUTUMN This issue we’re looking at make-up, including the key trends for autumn/winter. As your tan fades, you may find that you want slightly more foundation. ’Contouring’ is the art of using different shades to add definition to your face. Lighter tones highlight areas and make them stand out slightly, while darker tones add shadow and depth. If you’ve been thinking of trying contouring, but are worried that it will take hours, or make you look a bit fake, read on for our cheat’s guide… Start with an overall base that’s the same tone as your natural skin, before adding slightly darker shades under your cheekbones and along your jawline. Use a lighter shade on top of the cheekbones, under the eyes and between your eyebrows. And don’t forget to blend well! If you’re still not convinced, try searching online for video tutorials. MAC has some great ones on its website, for example. When it comes to the product itself, a cream tends to give a fresher appearance. Iconic London’s Multi Use Cream Contour Palette, £32.99, is a good choice, as it has several easy-to-apply shades in one kit, which also double-up as eyeshadows.
including a natural looking coral, it’s easy to apply, blends well and lasts for ages. Colorescience is available f r o m w w w. b e a u t y - p r o d u c t online.co.uk Want to master the perfect autumnal smokey eye? Neal’s Yard Remedies tells us how*: •Apply a tawny brown shadow over the entire eyelid and up into the socket line using a medium eyeshadow brush. Apply to the lower lash line with a small eyeshadow brush.
If you don’t fancy contouring, but do want to add a touch of colour to your cheeks, Colorescience Pressed Mineral Cheek Colore, £28, is a good choice. Available in five shades, To advertise call Scott or Natalie on 0141 945 4210 or email: info@sbdirectory.co.uk

•Using a medium brush, apply a dark hazelnut shade to the outer corner of the lid and blend into the crease of the socket line. Blend the colours using soft back and forth strokes. Apply dark brown mascara.
Trio is perfect for this, as it gives you perfectly defined lips, with just a hint of gloss. Victoriana looks set to become another one of this season’s key looks. Forget soft romantic frills though; this is Victoriana with an edge. Think dark, gothic eroticism.
•Press a dark chocolate eyeliner into the eyelash roots, moving along the upper lash line. Go over this with a precise line, staying close to the lashes. Draw eyeliner along the lower lash line from the outer to the inner corner. Statement lips don’t have to be red. We love Bobbi Brown’s new Lip Trio in Twilight Glow, £39 the perfect shade for autumn. One of the key looks for this season is ‘polished’. Think sophisticated, ‘grown-up’ make-up. The Lip
If you don’t fancy going the whole shebang, you can dip your toe (or fingertip) in the water with a dark red or purple nail varnish. We like Vamp by HJ Manicure, which is £9.50 and doesn’t contain the strong chemicals often found in nail polishes, such as formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate.

WELCOMING VISTORS FOR 115 YEARS Sailing on the legendary steamship Sir Walter Scott is a timeless experience - in The Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park More than 115 years have passed since the classic Victorian steamship Sir Walter Scott entered service on the tranquil waters of Loch Katrine, providing visitors with the opportunity of experiencing a special part of Scotland's maritime heritage as they travel through the magnificent landscapes for which the country's first national park is known worldwide. Now well into its second century of service, the famous vessel has itself become a well-loved feature of the area, and as much a part of the landscape as the other landmarks which have enchanted so many visitors over the years.
embark either on a one-hour sightseeing cruise, or on the classic excursion sailing to Stronachlachar, nestled at the western end of Loch Katrine. This sailing departs each morning at 10.30am, and at Stronachlachar passengers can choose to disembark and return by bicycle along the road which follows the northern shore of the loch or stay onboard for the return sailing, arriving back again at Trossachs Pier at 12.30pm, just in time for lunch. In the afternoon there is another chance for passengers to s a m p l e t h e d e l i g ht s o f travelling by steam, with a choice of shorter 1-hour cruises. Original captain of the vessel in 1900
As a cherished asset, with many admirers at home and abroad, the Sir Walter Scott has been lovingly maintained, restored and refurbished over the years, so that visitors travelling on the vessel in 2015 can still experience the special atmosphere of a Victorian pleasure steamer along with totally up-to-date facilities and services. These include comfortable lounges with panoramic views which allow passengers to relax and admire the passing scenery, a kiosk serving refreshments to enjoy during the cruise.
Sailing alongside the steamship is the modern cruiser 'Lady of the Lake', with its own programme of departures including the special 'Legends of the Loch' cruise, afternoon sailings (departing at 1.30pm and at 4.15pm from 23rd May to 4th October 2015) which introduce visitors to some of the notable characters and personalities associated with Loch Katrine through the generations, from folk hero and outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor to Queen Victoria, (who visited the area to see the loch which still supplies 50 million gallons of water each day to The experience of travelling 700,000 people in the on the Sir Walter Scott The steamer in 1946/7 just after the second world war greater Glasgow area), and commences as visitors join of course Sir Walter Scott the steamship at Trossachs himself, whose writings Pier (where facilities really put this beautiful include car parking, The part of Scotland on the Brenachoile Cafe Bar and map, and encouraged Restaurant, and shopping intrepid Victorian travellers in Katrine Gifts, as well as to discover the area which to match your room, or even your dug? access to lochside walks is enjoyed by thousands of and picnic areas), and visitors every year.

GARDENING LOVELY LAWNS by Pippa Greenwood
Almost every garden has a lawn, and even if you have no aspirations to turn yours into a smart bowling green style creation of smooth perfection, there is a lot you can do to keep the typical UK back garden lawn in good condition. With a bit of work, it will be looking healthy and green over the next year too so, rather than waiting until the spring, you should get to work now with some autumn lawn care. If there are any large weeds present in small lawns, you are probably best off just removing them by hand, perhaps using a sturdy old kitchen knife perfect for removing dandelions, small clumps of daisies and other weeds which are so easily missed by the mower. You should also take a look at the level of moss in the lawn. When it is green and luxuriant, I have to confess to rather liking moss - it can look quite attractive and certainly feels pleasant underfoot, but once it dies out the lawn will look really awful, as it will be gappy and bare. On the whole, moss in lawns is encouraged by compaction, poor drainage of the soil and lawn surface and by excessive shading, perhaps by nearby trees or herbaceous plants in adjacent borders which have been allowed to get too big or flop over. It is certainly worth doing anything you can to alleviate these
problems, and for shading you should consider pruning back shrubs which overhang the lawn or having nearby trees professionally crown thinned or lifted, so that more light gets through to the lawn. Herbaceous plants are often easily dealt with using a few bamboo canes and some string to create a barrier and ease them up and away from the grass. Compaction is a relatively easy problem to deal with, and in small areas where the problem is not too bad, you can use a normal garden fork. Drive this into the lawn every 10 - 15 cm (4 - 6 in) and ease it back and forth slightly, so that the holes created by the tines of the fork are enlarged slightly. By spiking the area in this way you will have created some drainage channels, which will also improve aeration. On very heavy sites or if compaction is bad, you are much better off using a special hollow tine aerator. These are available to buy as attachments for some lawnmowers, or you can buy or hire a dedicated machine or piece of equipment. Each time it is driven into the ground, a hollow tine aerator will remove cylinders of turf and the soil beneath, thus producing a better effect than the simple method of using a garden fork.

It may also be necessary to kill off the moss if it is really out of control, and for this you can use a proprietary moss killer. This must be applied exactly according to the manufacturer’s instructions and you should make sure that the moss is killed off completely before you attempt to rake it out. Raking out can be combined with what is known as scarifying, which means that you use a spring tined rake and very aggressively rake the surface of the lawn, so that dead moss, thatch (the accumulated bits of dead grass and other lawn debris) and any other surface debris are removed. Once done, you will find that the lawn looks a lot worse than it did when you started (it can be almost scary!), as it will look thinner and more moth-eaten. However, scarifying helps to ensure that the grasses receive plenty of air and allows for better re-growth; have faith, the situation will improve. If you have any areas that are completely bare, then once you have improved the texture of the soil and checked that there are no drainage problems, you can re-seed or over-seed the area using a suitable grass-seed mixture. To ensure that the seeds germinate and grow relatively quickly, pin a piece of horticultural fleece or Enviromesh over the newly sown area. This will not only help to keep it a bit warmer, but will also prevent birds from stealing the grass seed.

Emergency food for local people in crisis Foodbank volunteers will sit and chat with clients over a cup of tea and a sandwich. This enables them to hear their stories and signpost them to agencies who can offer additional help. Helping the hidden hungry in East Dunbartonshire is what we’re all about! East Dunbartonshire Foodbank provides 3 days food for local people who are facing a crisis and thus unable to provide adequate food for their family - people such as those whose income might be reduced because of sickness, loss of work, or because they face unexpected bills. How it Works Food is donated - All food given out by foodbanks is donated. Often this is from schools, churches, businesses, individuals, or through supermarket collections. Supermarket collections help foodbanks engage the public. Foodbank volunteers offer shoppers a ‘foodbank shopping list’ and ask them to buy an extra item with their shop. This food is then handed to volunteers waiting beyond the checkout who pack it before it is taken to the foodbank warehouse for further sorting and storage. Food is sorted and stored - At the warehouse, volunteers weigh and sort the donated food according to type and 'best before date'. Frontline Professionals from statutory and voluntary organisations identify people in need and issue them with a voucher. CAB staff are present at all of our Foodbank centres and can offer advice to people in a crisis and issue a voucher. Clients bring their voucher to a foodbank centre where it can be exchanged for three days supply of emergency food. The list of foods in each parcel has been designed by dieticians to provide recipients with nutritionally balanced food.
The Foodbank is glad of the support of many volunteers who help in Foodbank Centres, sending out food and being a friendly face for those who come in, or in the warehouse where food is stored. The Foodbank also relies on generous people, organisations or businesses who donate nonperishable food, many of them on a regular basis. Thank you all very much, without your help the Foodbank would not be able to keep on serving our community.
