Pimp my ride: When Amanda Pogany's car was stolen from her street in Brooklyn, N.Y., she says the police laughed when she asked about the odds of getting it back. It took four years, but police called to say they had recovered her car. "I was like, 'Shut up!'" said the eighth- grade teacher. She went to get it at the police impound yard and was shocked. Her little Honda wasn't chopped into bits, it was completely pimped out. The engine was replaced with a V-8, the automatic transmission was switched out for a manual, it has cutom wheels, leather interior, and lots more. It's still parked until she gets a new registration, but it's still getting lots of attention. "The mailman rang the bell the other day and asked about it," she said. "Everyone wants to buy the car now." (New York Daily News) ...Take a Hint, Amanda: Everyone wants to steal it now, too. Sell! Top Airport Security? Australian federal officials are reviewing security at the Dubbo airport in New South Wales after a traveler spotted a note on a security gate. It read:
"Gate Access Code" and gave the code to get through the gate into secure areas. Megan Dixon of the Dubbo City Council said the code was posted for "itinerant airport workers who have security clearance to use this gate," adding "We had a security audit last year, which we passed." (Sydney Telegraph) ...That was then, this is now. Cry Wolf? A woman from Old Town, Maine, who kept calling 911, was warned several times by dispatchers to stop making frivolous emergency calls. Police said that in just an hour, Shirley Isacson, 66, made ten 911 calls, but "She was not reporting any type of emergency." When officers arrived to warn her in person, she called 911 to complain police were at the door "harassing" her. When the calls didn't stop after that, she was arrested. Her response, police say: "She tried to call 911 again." (JW/Bangor Daily News) ...Yet every time she wanted to call 911, she had to look up the number Tax Nondeductable: Anietra Hamper, 38, a former news anchor at WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio, thought a lot of the things she bought should be tax- deductible, on the theory that the items were "necessary" for her job. The items included manicures, gym memberships, bedding, jewelry, lingerie, running and walking shoes, thong underwear, and a self- defense class. Her lawyers argued the $167,356 in unusual expenses over four years was "Consistent with the requirement that petitioner maintain a neat, professional and conservative appearance." The IRS disagreed, and sued her for back taxes. "Unfortunately, petitioner has not shown how her gym membership fees were related to her business," a tax court ruled, "or that they were otherwise an ordinary and necessary business expenses for her position as a news anchor," and disallowed her liberal deductions. (RC/New York Daily News) ...But I do like the theory that liberal deductions are necessary for a conservative appearance. Too slow for Fast food Sometimes fast food just isn't fast enough. Police in Panama City Beach, Fort la., say Kimesa Smith pictured right trashed a Burger King and attacked employees because she felt she had been waiting too long for her food. Smith is charged with misdemeanor battery after allegedly starting a brawl at the fast food joint that was filmed by another patron and posted on YouTube. Earlier this month, a Denny's patron was accused of firing a gun because he thought his food was taking too long.

prince. Traditionally the Prince of Wales is the eldest son of the English monarch. The Welsh Dragon
Wales National Day: 1 March Area: 20,779 sq km Population: 2,918,700 (2002) Capital City: Cardiff (Caerdydd) Official Language: English and Cymraeg (Welsh) Nationality : Welsh and British Currency : Pound sterling National sport: Rugby Wales is in north-west Europe and is part of Great Britain, the United Kingdom (UK) . The name Wales comes from the Cymraeg word Gwalia, meaning in English "Homeland". It later became Latinized as Walia, then by the Normans to something like Wal~es....then Wales. Wales has not been politically independent since 1282, when it was conquered by King Edward I of England. Until 1999, Wales was ruled directly from London; that year saw the first elections to the National Assembly of Wales, which has limited domestic powers and cannot make law. Technically, Wales is a principality. This means that it is ruled by a
The exact origin of the Welsh Dragon is shrouded in the mists of time,and there is still much debate as to it's source. One of the earliest mentions of the Dragon dates to about 800A.D when it was linked with Wales in the writings of Nennius. References to the Dragon frequently occur in Welsh medieval poetry,where the creature was used to symbolise the country. The Red Dragon was recognised as the badge of Wales on 10th December,1901, at which time it was added to the arms of the Prince of Wales.On 11th March,1953,the Dragon was again sanctioned, this time being made the official badge of Wales. It was only after this, that it became the authorised Welsh National flag. Why doesn't the Welsh dragon appear on the Union Flag? The Welsh dragon does not appear on the flag because when the first Union Flag was created in 1606, Wales was already united with England from the 13th century. This meant that Wales a Principality instead of a Kingdom and as such could not be included. In 1536, under Henry VIII, the Act of Union joined England and Wales officially.
The leek had been recognised as the emblem of Wales since the middle of the 16th century. Its association with Wales can in fact be traced back to the battle of Heathfield in 633 AD, when St. David persuaded his countrymen to distinguish themselves from their Saxon foes by wearing a leek in their caps Nowadays, the leek is worn on March 1 (St. David's Day—the Welsh national holiday) and at international rugby matches. Village names in Wales are normally descriptive eg: Mynydd Bach means small mountain. The longest village name in Wales is on Anglesey and is:LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYNDROBWYLLLLANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH. In English it means :- The church of Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the fierce whirlpool and the church of Tysilio by the red cave. But it is normally known as Llanfair PG. A favourite souvenir for the tourists is a Welsh love spoon. They are made of wood and are carved very beautifully. Originally,they were made by young men as a love token for their sweethearts. There are many different designs demonstrating the skill and love of the hopefulsuitor. If the girl kept this present, all was well, but if she sent it back, she did not want him.
Wales has always been known as a country of music and song. As well as the many male-voice choirs and famous rugby match singing, some of the greatest opera singers, like Geraint Evans, and pop singers, like Tom Jones, are also Welsh. Since the 12th century we have records of an annual competition (or Eisteddfod ), which was held to find the best poets, writers and musicians in the country. Originally only professionals took part, but now the Eisteddfod is open to the public and, because all the events are in Welsh, it encourages a strong interest in the Welsh arts. The Eisteddfod now includes local crafts, orchestral and brass band contests and even ambulance work! Many local communities organize their own Eisteddfod, and the National Eisteddfod is held in August each year, alternately in a northern or a southern town. An International Eisteddfod (the international festival of folk-dancing and music) began in 1946, and no one expected much foreign interest. In fact fourteen countries took part. Nowadays, the International Eisteddfod takes place in the second week of July at Llangollen ] (this town is in North Wales). People from over thirty countries come to compete in choral singing, folk-singing and folk-dancing, and the little valley is full of thousands of visitors coming to listen and watch.

Gordon Ramsay feared for his life while filming a new Channel 4 TV show in Costa Rica. Investigating illegal shark hunting in the country for Gordon's Shark Bait, the celebrity chef realised he was up against some pretty scary 'fishermen'. 'At one point, I managed to shake off the people keeping us away, ran up some stairs to a rooftop and looked down to see thousands of fins, drying on rooftops as far as the eye could see,' says Gordon, 44. 'When I got back downstairs, they tipped a barrel of petrol over me.' Gordon - who narrowly escaped being set on fire was filming his contribution to Channel 4's Big Fish Fight, which also involves Jamie Oliver and Heston Blumenthal. 'Back at the wharf, there were people pointing rifles at us to stop us filming,' Gordon told the Daily Mail. 'A van pulled up and these seedy characters made us stand against a wall. 'The police came and advised us to leave the country. 'They said, "If you set one foot in there, they'll shoot you."' David Beckham captains the Los Angeles Galaxy for the first time in three years. Galaxy coach Bruce Arena decided that former England skipper Beckham would wear the captain's armband on when the side visited MLS rivals Real Salt Lake. "Bruce has asked me to wear it, and I'll be proud to wear it," said Beckham, who is in the final season of the contract that brought him to Los Angeles. "It doesn't change the way I play. It's something you're very proud to wear, but you need more than that one leader on the field." Beckham took over as captain when he joined the team amid great fanfare in 2007. However, he last captained the Galaxy on 26 October 2008. The armband was given to USA midfielder Landon Donovan the following year. Donovan missed Saturday's game to be with USA who were facing Argentina in a friendly at East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Kerry Katona isn't afraid to admit she finds comfort in being on television. Kerry's enjoyed having a film crew follow her every move for her new reality series Kerry Katona: The Next Chapter, which airs on Wednesdays. 'The cameras to me are like therapy,' says Kerry, 30. 'I wear my heart on my sleeve and if I say something I say it how I feel, so being able to talk to the camera without having an opinion back, it's quite nice.' Kerry recently starred in Dancing On Ice and was crowned Queen Of The Jungle on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2004. 'There are some times that it's like, "Give me a minute or a break,"' she explained on ITV1's This Morning. 'But when the cameras are not there I feel a bit lost. 'They follow me everywhere - apart from the toilet!' Elizabeth Taylor died at 1:28 AM on 23rd March at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles ... where she had been hospitalized for the past couple of weeks. A private funeral was held later in the week. Taylor's publicist says she was "surrounded by her children -Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd, and Maria Burton." Taylor's rep says the actress died "peacefully" from congestive heart failure, "a condition with which she had struggled with for many years." The rep adds, "Though she had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home. Sadly, this was not to be."

Latest treatment from Clinica physiospain Shockwaves ( ESWT – Extracorpal Shock Wave Therapy ) and Pressure waves ( RPWT – Radial Pressure wave therapy ) are two acoustical forms of energy produced in sophisticated instruments used in the treatment of medical conditions. Shockwaves are focused high energy waves with deep penetration options and Pressure waves are radiating low energy waves with shallow surface penetration. These waves exhibit very different physical properties and have different effects on the tissue of the body. ESWT has proven to affect the cells of the treated tissues down to a depth of 80 – 100mm ( and more with special applicator devices )in positive ways causing an increase in the metabolic rate of the cells enhancing the healing properties of the damaged cells. Science has proven that neovascularisation ( repair and formation of blood capillaries ) occurs in the tissue exposed to ESWT as well as analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. EPAT has proven to have a positive effect primarily in muscle tissues down to a depth of approximately 35 mm. Its analgesic and anti- inflammatory effects are still under scientific investigation The Background During the 1960'S the German company Dornier used focussed shockwaves to fragment calcium deposits in body tissue. In 1980 the first Lithotripsy ( fragmentation of kidney stones ) was performed. Since then scientists and clinical researchers have developed treatment protocols for many diverse medical conditions. The treatments After a thorough assessment, the treatment is administered in the target area at varying depths and intensity depending on the nature of the damaged cells The effects during the treatment are experienced in different ways by the patient and there are no side effects. Most often the patient feels a vast improvement by increased motion of a treated joint and a decrease in the pain level. After the first treatment the patient is advised to drink more water than normal to help dilute the metabolic waste produced by the treatment. Advice is then given for rehabilitation exercises to help further improve the condition at home

WHY IS CERVICAL SCREENING SO IMPORANT IN WOMEN´S HEALTH A Cervical Smear test is an important part of maintaining health for all women who have ever been sexually active. Some women may find the smear test uncomfortable or embarrassing and so may put off having one. This examination only takes a few minutes and could save your life. Annual smear tests reduce your risk of Cervical Cancer by 92% In the UK alone it is estimated to save 1000 lives each year 80-90% of abnormalities are detected through regular smear tests, and can be treated early to Prevent Cancer WHAT IS A SMEAR TEST? In a Private room with a female nurse we will ask you to lie on an examination couch with a blanket over you. You will be asked to lie in position with you feet together and knees apart and a disposable plastic speculum will be inserted into your vagina. This holds the walls of the vagina open so your cervix can be seen. We will then use a tiny brush or spatula to gently scrape off a sample of your cervical cells. These cells are then smeared onto a glass slide to be sent to the laboratory. The speculum is then removed, with minimal discomfort within those few minutes. WHEN IS IT BEST TO DO A SMEAR TEST? The Department of Health recommends women between the ages of 25 and 64 years of age, have routine smears. In our opinion all women that are sexually active need to be screened regardless of age. It is best to schedule your smear for the middle of your menstrual cycle as it is easiest to get a good sample at this time. If you are menstruating it may be too difficult for us to
HOW ARE THE RESULTS GIVEN AND WHAT DO THEY MEAN? After 7 to 10 days you will be recalled to the clinic to discuss your results. If there are abnormal cell changes, you will be referred for a follow up appointment. If the cells are clear, you will wait another year before re booking unless you have any concerns in the meantime. At Clinica Medicare all our cervical smear tests are performed by female nurses who are experienced in Women’s health. We use plastic speculum s for your comfort; you can come in for a smear test only, or for a more comprehensive Health check, including ECG, bloods, and measurements. A Cervical Smear test costs just €50.00 Please contact the clinic if you have any further queries or would like to book an appointment on Tel 952 83 57 56
I'm going to start this months column with a review from last months Cinderella Panto performed by the Family of Sound. Anyone lucky enough to have had tickets will agree that this was not only the funniest show, but most cleverly written show I have ever seen performed at Los Arcos. Award winning performances accompanied by pitch perfect voices from Cinderella aka Clara age 14 & her prince Olly Spurs aka Ben age 11. Unforgettable character roles by Zipper aka Alex age 11 & Velcro aka Hailey age 8 who had the audience charmed. The grown up comedy award must go the the 2 ugly sisters, Liz Jones & Jane Hepburn had them rolling in the Isles, with extra audience banter and ad-libbing which added to the hilarity. Equal mention must go to Fairy Godmother Val & Bella the fallen angle Jackie, as their comedy sketch & "any thing you can do" song really was the iceing on the cake. We asked some of the audience members for their comments -: ‘My daughter was entranced from the moment Dolly the delightful usherette appeared until the final curtain closed -: I haven't laughed so much in ages, really looking forward to seeing what they do next. ...... -: We've had a fabulous evening, we came with our whole family, everyone from kids to granny and we all thought it was marvellous !................. As for my own children, well they loved every minute.

Honouring those who improve the species.... by accidently removing themselves from it! or almost! Dynamite Rancher 2009 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (8 May 2009, Utah) 59-year-old Brent L. found a stash of dynamite in a shed on his 5000-acre ranch 3 miles south of the ATK Thiokol testing area, where booster rockets for the space shuttle are designed. Details about this stash are scarce. Did it belong to the rancher, was it hidden by thieves, is it more than coincidence that the ranch is close to Thiokol Ground Zero? Chief Deputy Kevin Potter said, "Whether the dynamite was his or whatever, that's yet to be determined." Whatever its origins, the rancher found the dynamite and he was alarmed. He had good reason to be. Old dynamite starts to "sweat" nitroglycerine, and once it starts sweating, it is very unstable. This well-known fact was surely known by the rancher. This stash of flash was something he felt he could deal with on his own. Concerned for his family's safety--but not his ownthe rancher removed the dynamite from the shed,
placed it in a field, backed away about forty yards and fired a shotgun at it. The dynamite blew up and shrapnel hit the rancher in the head. The man was air-lifted to the hospital, where he passed away.The Box County Sheriff's office refused to confirm the circumstances, saying they were "still looking into it" the dynamite exploded "for some reason." But the first medical teams on the scene reported that the man shot the dynamite from 40 yards. I am inclined to believe them because it would be obvious where the rancher was standing in relation to the explosion--whether he was 40 yards away, or holding a stick of unstable, sweating dynamite- either which way, the man should’t have done it. Wetting The Bed 2009 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (27 October 2009, Arkansas) Thirty-year-old Devan LeAnn of Shongaloo, Louisiana, was visiting Lake Ehrling with a male friend. Recent bouts of heavy rain had resulted in a flood of runoff water, and they decided it would be fun to take a mattress careening down the surging water in the spillway. Unfortunately Leann was riding a foam egg-crate style mattress pad. Imagine a wet foam pad. Are you sinking yet? According to her friend, Devan LeAnn simply vanished from sight at dusk. The next morning her body was found in a tangle of
How to treat a cloudy pool After all the terrible rain we have had on the ¨Costa del Sol¨ recently it has left many pools cloudy and murky. That is because debris such as sand has come down with the rain - it is so fine you will not be able to vacuum it to waste in the normal way. Floculante A product called floculante in Spanish is used to settle un-filterable or suspended debris including algae that causes extreme cloudiness. It drops or ¨flocks ¨cloudiness to the bottom of the pool so that a layer of debris can be easily vacuumed to waste. Do not use during a shock treatment – it is more effective done separately. Floculante will settle but not kill algae – there is a product called Anti Algae that you can buy to deal with that after the flock treatment has been carried out.
Method of treatment Pour the floculante slowly into the skimmer whilst on recirculation. If your filter does not have re-circulate – dilute in a gallon of water and distribute evenly over the pool surface. Allow re-circulating for 2 hours then shutting off the pump and allow the debris and cloudiness to settle to the bottom. The process can take 12 – 24 hours but usually works overnight. Do not disturb the water during this time. When it has settled at the bottom vacuum the debris to WASTE only. Additional vacuuming may be necessary during the next few days whilst the flock continues to settle out the debris and cloudiness. After vacuuming is complete reset the filter to normal position and adjust the PH if necessary. Your PH should read between 7.2 and 7.8. Both Floculante and Antialgae cost 18.00 € for a 5 lt tub and are always in stock. Telephone us on 952 591 053 between 8am and 4pm with your queries. Call in at the shop with a SMALL sample of your pool water for FREE advice on maintaining the correct chemical balance.
I have witnessed collapses of many stone walls not only on my own urbanisation but in many other places. The more time that I spend in Spain, the more I realise that Non-Spanish citizens who decide to buy a property here do not fully understand the differences in building standards. In the UK, some lay-people appreciate that building standards are governed by the 1984 Building Act, of which the Approved Documents A – N, provide technical guidance to construction professionals. It therefore comes as a shock to many people when they realise that the average Spanish home is built to a much lower standard than their own main dwelling in their home country. The list of differences is long, but worryingly, covers poor quality foundations, no damp course, single skin hollow terracotta main walls, to name but a few. Retaining walls are one of the biggest concerns, together with swimming pool construction! Dry stone walls are not capable of offering resistance to soil and water loadings compared with a properly constructed reinforced concrete wall.
The design codes are in place for building designers in Spain and should be used! British Standards for the design of steel, concrete, brickwork and timber have been converted to Euro-codes. The aim of this is that all buildings in EU countries should be designed and built to the same safe codes of practice. UK builders working in Spain have no excuse for not making potential clients aware of the correct solutions to their building problems. I fully understand that economics make owners go for the cheaper solution, but this may be a false economy as it may not provide a permanent solution to the problem. This will usually mean that it has to be put right again, a few years down the line! Paying for a survey on a prospective property or seeking professional advice from someone like myself can save money, in the long term. You only have to ask !! Chris Farr F.BEng. I.Eng. AMI. StructE.

Tiger Centipede Centipedes are arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda of the subphylum Myriapoda. They are elongated metameric animals with one pair of legs per body segment. Despite the name, centipedes can have a varying number of legs from under 20 to over 300. Centipedes have an odd number of pairs of legs, e.g. 15 or 17 pairs of legs (30 or 34 legs) but never 16 pairs (32 legs). A key trait uniting this group is a pair of venom claws or "forcipules" formed from a modified first appendage. Centipedes are a predominantly carnivorous Centipedes normally have a drab coloration combining shades of brown and red. Cavernicolous (cave-dwelling) and subterranean species may lack pigmentation and many tropical scolopendromorphs have bright aposematic colours. Size can range from a few millimetres in the smaller lithobiomorphs and geophilomorphs to about 30cm (12in) in the largest scolopendromorphs. Centipedes can be found in a wide variety of environments. Behind the head, the body consists of fifteen or more segments. Most of the segments bear a single pair of legs, with the maxillipeds projecting forward from the first body segment, and the final two segments being small and legless. Each pair of legs is slightly longer than the pair immediately in front of it, ensuring that they do not overlap, and therefore reducing the chance that they will collide with each other while moving swiftly. In extreme cases, the last pair of legs may be twice the length of the first pair. The final segment bears a telson and includes the openings of the reproductive organs. The Tiger centipede ( Escolopendra tigra ) is the
largest centipede in Europe. It's head consists of a pair of antennae, eight simple eyes, poison claws, mandibles and other mouth-parts used for chewing food. The poison claws are used for both defence and capturing and paralysing prey.The colour of these centipedes varies, depending on their geographic location. The general colour is yellow with black crossbars although the North African strains may all be black. They can reach a length of 150mm, but seldom exceed 120mm.
These creatures are fast moving and can be aggressive. Tiger centipedes are nocturnal with a voracious appetite and prey upon a wide range of invertebrates including crickets, locusts, spiders, scorpions and small reptiles which they grasp with their poison claws and inject venom until they are subdued. The adult centipedes have few natural predators.Centipedes are predators, and mainly use their antennae to seek out their prey. Reproduction Centipede reproduction does not involve copulation. Males deposit a spermatophore for the female to take up. In temperate areas egg laying occurs in spring and summer but in subtropical and tropical areas there appears to be little seasonality to centipede breeding. The number of eggs laid ranges from about 10 to 50. Time of development of the embryo to hatching is highly variable and may take from one to a few months. Time of development to reproductive period is highly variable within and among species. For example, it can take 3 years for Scolopendra to achieve adulthood. Region: Spain, Portugal, Southern France, Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and North Africa. Habitat: This is one of the few Scolopendra species to be found throughout Southern Europe, mainly in mountainous regions. They typically inhabit dark, damp environments, such as under rocks and logs or under leaf litter. Remarks: The largest and most notorious of all the chilopods to be found anywhere in Europe. The Tiger centipede is easily recognised by its beautiful aposematic colouration. These animals will only bite if handled or molested, normally they tend to hide during the day in damp and dark retreats. If you're camping in the countryside it is advisable to check foot-ware and clothes before putting them on, especially if they have had contact with the floor. Do not put your fingers under stones or logs. Scolopendra are unable to climb smooth surfaces such as glass and metal Danger Symptoms: Although the venom does not seriously affect most people, in certain cases the patient may develop sensitivity to the toxin which can lead to anaphylaxis. Most victims experience a sharp local pain followed by local cyanosis, sweating and inflammation around the two puncture marks of the poison claws. The pain may become more severe over the next 5 – 8 hours and painful inflammation of the affected limb may persist for several days to weeks. Other symptoms may include arthralgia, dermatitis, paresthesia, muscle cramps, pruritis, vomiting and general malaise.
Cowell as Sean and Sara are currently filming videos and rehearsing with their band for a full tour.
Hi Chaps, Heart fm is now well and truly established on the coast with 88.5 pumping out from Calahonda to Gibraltar and thanks for all the great feedback - it really makes it all worthwhile. A couple of weeks ago we chatted with Rock n Roll "Hall of Famer" Chris Jasper who was a member of the legendary Isley Brothers and Isley, Jasper, Isley. Chris explained "I was in a group with two of the younger Isleys in the 60´s before becoming a member of the Isley Brothers". His was the signature keyboard sound that became such a feature of later hits from the Band such as Between The Sheets and For The Love Of You. Most of the songs of that time were also either written or co-written by Chris. Later when the Isley Brothers split Ernie and Ronnie Isley together with Chris formed Isley Jasper Isley with Chris writing and taking lead vocal on the huge hit Caravan of Love. I asked Chris what he felt when he heard the Housemartins cover of the song, he said "it was a truly great version of the song, interpreted in a totally different way" and he was "rather proud to have composed a song that could be presented in different ways". If you are a fan of the late 70´s early 80´s Jazz Funk then the new Chris Jasper album is an absolute must. It's called "Everything I Do" and I promise you this is a roof down, arm out the window, stereo loud, cruzin through Miami or Puerto Banus type album - Love It!!! We also got the chance for a chat with Same Difference of X factor fame the brother and sister once described by Simon Cowell as "probably the most annoying people ever" - I have to admit they really are great fun. Sean and Sara not only gave us a complete low down on behind the scenes at X factor but gave us a sneak preview of their new album "The Rest is History". Sara told me about one of the best gigs I think any one could ever wish to do ....... a concert at Lego-Land in the UK - what a fantastic show. We also got the chance for a chat with Same Difference of X factor fame the brother and sister once described by Simon
The album portrays Same Difference with a more hard dance influence , with one of the tracks Karma featuring Euro dance act Alcazar ( panic at the Disco) who actually wrote the track. A couple of Local artists to watch out for :The amazing Stephen Lloyd Morgan, after a tremendous show in Marbella, has proven yet again he is destined for a massive future. I can´t really think of a way to describe him except to say maybe a one man El Divo - check him out on you-tube and let me know your comments. Frank Skott is a singer song writer from Marbella, who is half Spanish, has a new Album entitled "Under the Street light" - once again not a bloke you can easily put in a specific category, which I like. The imagery on the Album is quite stunning with pictures taken on the Costa del Sol atBora Bora Beach near San Pedro.The musical content is just as stunning and the best way I can describe it is a mix of Bryan Ferry´s Slave to Love, Soul 11 Soul and Usher - visit his website www.myspace.com/frankskott and get a copy of this Album and enjoy All the "Mainframe" shows on Heartfm have new features e.g. Pete with "The Breakfast Club" who wants to know all of your secrets, Big Al's "Coffee and Classics" section - you supply the coffee and Al will supply the classics. On the Lazy Siesta we have "Gone but not Forgotten", you suggest an artist who is no longer with us and we play 5 tracks, one a day. So far we have featured Bob Marley, Gary Moore, and Robert Palmer. Drive Time takes on a brand new format with Danni (the girl who REALLY does know the off-side rule) departing Heart fm for a new career in Finance and joining us to occupy the seat is the legendary Keith Dewhurst bringing his own style and humour to Heartfmspain. If you want to get involved either email presenters@heartfmspain.com or join us on facebook "Heartfmspain"- we want to hear from you It looks like a fantastic 2011 on the coast for big venue live music - as soon as we know more you'll know more so watch this space.

Stereo grams Turn the page sideways clockwise and look at the image you should see a dragon ? Can’t see it, heres some tips that might help The Pullback Get very close to the stereogram, and very, very slowly pull it away from you. At first you won't even be able to focus on the image... However, keep moving the image in and out, relaxing, and it will appear. Look at the Reflection You'll need to LOOK at something about twice the distance of the image. It turns out we have something that is almost always available that is the exact distance... your reflection. By looking at your reflection, this will help, if not put the book one side of a glass door enough to let you see your reflection.then... After looking at your eye, simply stop focusing on your eye, and try to see the image. Repeat, switching your focus from your eye to the image, and your reflection... and suddenly you will get it.
