My husband and I have recently returned from Hawaii, where we celebrated our honeymoon with a ten day trip on the magical island of Maui.

As soon as the plane jetted over the pristine beaches, preparing to land, my heart fluttered in my chest. Yes, this was my idea of Heaven on Earth!

We spent the first five days in a place called Kapalua, staying in a gorgeous hotel complete with hammocks, a private beach, spectacular sea views, and the best pina coladas in town!

We were gratefully glowing to be upgraded to a suite, thanks to a kind receptionist. Kapalua was a short drive away from another town called La Haina, a bustling tourist hub with a giant banyan tree, home to a chorus of chirping birds, and the place where popular self-help author Wayne Dyer lives. While visiting, we also tried some of the local delicacy of banana bread – boy it was good!

After our five days spent relaxing in Kapalua, we headed to Hana on the famous ‘Road to Hana’ where there are countless spots of interest to stop off and marvel at. One of these places was the famous Waimoku Falls at Haleakala National Park – a massive waterfall tumbling down the rocks from above, and a spectacular sight. To get there we had to hike through a rather muddy bamboo forest, over bridges, through streams, and past other smaller waterfalls. For me, Hana was a little slice of deliciousness that once tasted, one wants to sample again and again. It’s a quiet and tranquil place where you are literally forced to relax and switch off from the stressful thoughts of everyday life. A typical day consists of sitting around the pool, sipping cocktails, a slow stroll to the local shop for banana bread, and an afternoon nap on the golden sandy beach.

I’d like us to live in Maui (or another one of Hawaii’s islands) for at least part of the year, so we will see what happens...

Another amazing thing about Hawaii is the language – it’s very interesting and also a little strange. I learned that ‘Keiki’ means children or child-like. That might explain why my name is just one letter out!

Strange News Duff Duchess A woman who crashed her car in New Zealand tried to convince police she was Kate Middleton.

The 44-year-old allegedly sped the wrong way down a one-way street before rolling the car in Taranaki. She told officers she could not be prosecuted because she was the Duchess of Cambridge.

Senior Constable Grant Kennard told the Taranaki Daily News: "She thinks she's Kate Middleton. She was saying: 'You can't touch me because I am royal'."

Her car landed on its roof after hitting a bank and rolling, but she was not badly injured.

Mr Kennard said the woman was being assessed by mental health professionals and it was unknown if charges would be laid.

Sozzled Santa A drunk Santa and his pie-eyed helper are both in hospital after falling out of their sleigh during a tipsy ride down a busy high street.

The 51-year-old Father Christmas and his 31year-old female helper had been singing Xmas carols and waving at locals as they trotted down the busy street in UstrzykachDolnych, Poland, when a passing car beeped them, scaring the horse which reared up, sending them flying into the road.

A passer-by who captured the scene on camera, said: "It was quite extraordinary. They were supposed to have been an attraction at the local market and lots of people were taking their children there to go and see them.

"But instead they saw these two, who were clearly under the influence, behaving like they had just come out of a nightclub or something.

"It was a mixture of 'Ho, ho, ho' and 'No, no, no'," he said.

The pair were taken to local hospital suffering from concussion.

The History Of The Middle Finger Well, now.. here's something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to pass it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when you know something about it?

has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as 'giving the bird.'

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future.

It is still an appropriate salute to the French today!

This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew').

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, see, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning

And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing!

Passport Application Dear Minister, I'm in the process of renewing my passport but I am at a total loss to understand or believe the hoops I am being asked to jump through.

picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to activate the Fifth Reich for God's sake! I just want to go and park my weary backside on a sunny, sandy beach for a couple of week's wellearned rest away from all this crap.

How is it that Bert Smith of T.V. Rentals Basingstoke has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a satellite dish from them back in 1994, and yet, the Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date?

Well, I have to go now, because I have to go to back to Salisbury and get another copy of my birth certificate because you lost the last one.

AND to the tune of 60 quid! What a racket THAT is!! Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day? But nooooo, that'd be too damn easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over the place like chickens with our heads cut off, then find some tosser to confirm that it's really me on the goddamn picture - you know... the one where we're not allowed to smile in in case we look as if we are enjoying the process!

Hey, you know why we can't smile? 'Cause we're totally jacked off!

How come that nice chappy who comes round every Thursday night with his DVD rentals van can tell me every film or video I have had out since he started his business up eleven years ago, yet you still want me to remind you of my last three jobs, two of which were with contractors working for the government?

How come the T.V. detector van can tell if my T.V. is on, what channel I am watching and whether I have paid my licence or not, and yet if I win the government run lottery they have no idea I have won or where I am and will keep the bloody money to themselves if I fail to claim in good time. Do you people do this by hand?

You have my birth date on numerous files you hold on me, including the one with all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30-odd years. It's on my health insurance card, my driver's licence, on the last four passports I've had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before being allowed off the planes and boats over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms that are done every ten years and the electoral registration forms I have to complete, by law, every time our lords and masters are up for re-election.

Would somebody please take note, once and for all, I was born in Maidenhead on the 4th of March 1957, my mother's name is Mary, her maiden name was Reynolds, my father's name is Robert, and I'd be absolutely astounded if that ever changed between now and the day I die!

I apologise Minister. I'm obviously not myself this morning. But between you and me, I have simply had enough! You mail the application to my house, then you ask me for my address.

What is going on? Do you have a gang of Neanderthals working there? Look at my damn

I served in the armed forces for more than 25 years including over ten years at the Ministry of Defence in London. I have had security clearances which allowed me to sit in the Cabinet Office, five seats away from the Prime Minister while he was being briefed on the first Gulf War and I have been doing volunteer work for the British Red Cross ever since I left the Services. However, I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am -- you know, someone like my doctor...who, before he got his medical degree 6 months ago was living abroad!!

Yours sincerely, An Irate British Citizen.

De Cotta Law Consumer Rights and Spanish Banks Legal update by De Cotta Law During the last year the Spanish courts have been asked to make a number of decisions on banks and mortgages. The government and the Bank of Spain have been forced to make changes in the mortgage law and in bank procedures and rules on mortgages and two of these changes are of particular interest to property owners in Spain. interest rates One is in the interest rates linked to Euribor. ‘A Clausula Suelo’ is a clause that prevented mortgage holders from taking advantage of the low Euribor rate over the past 3 years. It is believed that around 30% of mortgages taken out have this clause. Claims are now being made in court to recover the excess profit made by the banks which could be in the region of 7.000 million euros.

Now that the Bank of Spain has acknowledged this clause is an abusive clause many banks are negotiating with their customers as court actions can lead to additional costs and fees for the banks. However before taking action it is best to ask a lawyer to review the mortgage deed to ensure that you would be successful if taking the matter to court. repossessions The other problem that existed with Spanish procedural rules on repossession proceedings was that a consumer whose sole and habitual residence was the mortgaged property may have found an abusive clause in the mortgage deed but could not stop the repossession once commenced. There was no procedural rule that allowed a Judge in the repossession to stay or pause the proceeding while considering the legality and fairness of clauses in the original mortgage deed.

An urgent legal measure has been passed by the Courts to ensure that this cannot happen.

The applicant asking to pause or stop the repossession must be someone who would lose their sole home if they were evicted. Therefore it could not apply to second or holiday homes.

There are also new rules on arrangements with the banks to be able to pay a rental and stay in

the property rather than face eviction.

You may have seen some distressing scenes where people were evicted from their homes and these measures have gone some way to giving these people protection. However it is interesting to note that one of the new penalties in the new Public Safetylaw is fines of between 1.001 euro and 30.000 euro for those who obstruct the authorities in their judicial work such as during an eviction.

Cannon Balls!!

It was necessary to keep a good supply of cannon balls near the cannon on old war ships. But how to prevent them from rolling about the deck was the problem. The storage method devised was to stack them as a square based pyramid, with one ball on top, resting on four, resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem -- how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding/rolling from under the others. The solution was a metal plate with 16 round indentations, called, for reasons unknown, a Monkey.

But if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make them of brass hence, Brass Monkeys. Few landlubbers realise that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannon balls would come right off the monkey.

Thus, it was quite literally, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. And all this time, you thought that was just a vulgar expression?

interesting Facts - French Polynesia is made up of 118 volcanic and coral islands and atolls, including Tahiti. There are five island groups the Society Islands, the Tuamotu archipelago, the Gambier Islands, the Marquesas Islands and the Tubuai Islands. Tahiti is the most densely-populated island.

The Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and British were credited with the discovery of one or more of the islands. In the 18th century European traders and missionaries came, bringing diseases that wiped out much of the indigenous population. The missionaries tried to put a stop to local religious practices, nudity and other aspects of indigenous life.

France conducted 41 nuclear atmospheric tests on the Mururoa atoll and neighbouring Fangataufa from 1966. In 1975, under international pressure, it switched to underground tests.

French Polynesia enjoys a high standard of living, but wealth is unevenly distributed and unemployment is high.

All you need to be healthy and fit; * Abundant food, rich in calories, like that which was eaten a century ago, is no longer in fashion. The Modern man, who is highly technical, hardly needs to exert himself physically. He no longer suffers from the cold due to the comforts of central heating, hot water, vehicles and adequate clothing. * Therefore, the store of necessary energy must be made, fundamentally, through the ingestion of foods which are easily digestible.

You should eat 5 light meals throughout the day OUR PROPOSAL TO YOU FOR THIS DAY SPECIAL MENU - ROMEO & JULIET

1st Course: Snails with mushrooms & Giant prawn or Asparagus gratin with Ibérian Ham or Raviolli filled with Salmon and Truffle Sauce

2nd Course: Sirloin Steak in Red Wine or San Pedro Fish al Papellon or Magret of Duck in Mint Sauce

Wines to taste: Tamaral- Red, White & Rose Dessert: Carrot Passion Cake Coffee & Water Call For more information

Film iew Rev Frozen Walt Disney Pictures’ Frozen, loosely adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale, is the story of a Nordic kingdom and the two orphaned sisters, Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell), who run it.

Even before Elsa's powers of shooting ice and snow from her fingertips are made evident, the animation is stunning. Elsa and Anna's parents perish in a howling storm at sea. Elsa revels in her powers as a little girl, but after a close call with Anna and a poorly aimed bolt of ice, she's convinced to hide her strengths and retreat from their sisterly bond.

The death of the king and queen means Elsa must take over, but the stress of her coronation (and Anna's decision to get engaged to a hunky prince) makes her lose control.

Elsa storms up into the mountains, leaving ice castles and blizzards in her wake.

Anna's heroic journey involves her travelling into the mountains to convince Elsa to return, where she teams up with rugged ice salesman Kristof (Jonathan Groff) to get there.

Kristof and Anna are going to fall for each other eventually, and she'll ditch fiancĂŠ Hans (Santino Fontana), but the focus remains firmly on the sisterly bond between Anna and Elsa.

Overall this is a great Disney film and one to watch with the family‌ Star Rating ****/*****

Don’t Replace It - REPAINTIT !!!!

If your kitchen or wardrobe is looking tired or outdated with old wooden doors, then we can help!

A re-vamp in your home could be more affordable than you think. REPAINTIT.ES offers an economical and practical service to transform kitchens and internal doors at a fraction of the cost of replacing them.

How? By repainting them using a tough polyurethane paint.

“The process for transforming these kitchens and doors is a tried and trusted method,” said a spokesman. “We first dismantle the doors and take them back to our workshop, where they are prepared for the three-coat system of coating. This takes a couple of days and when finished, the doors are returned and re-hung; this totally transforms the look of the kitchen.

Most customers also replace the handles, which we can supply from the huge range we keep in stock.”

Last year, REPAINTIT.ES did a large number of two-tone kitchens, including using a metallic finish door which you can see on the company’s website under the section pictures.

“We have been painting doors in Spain since 2005 with loads of happy customers,” the spokesman added. “We now offer a semi DIY option where you can drop your doors off at Torre Del Mar, we will spray them to a smooth finish and you can do the frames yourself using the DIY kit we supply. This will save you around 250€.

“We also offer the service of furniture painting as a lot of people have nice solid wood furniture which they don’t want to replace with cheaplymade modern furniture, so they get us to repaint it. This totally changes the look of it.”

Metal garden furniture is often neglected and when people want to replace it, they see that it is a lot cheaper to have it re-coated. “If it is rusting, then we can sandblast it and put a rust converter on it before repainting it, using our electrostatic paint system. Metal and galvanized metal can be painted with automotive paint for a longer life span.”

For more info on the services offered, or to see examples of work undertaken, visit www.repaintit.es

What is Reflexology By Bianca - Clinica Casa Blanca Reflexology is a complementary therapy which involves the application of a light pressure to specific points, known as reflexes, on the feet and hands to encourage the body to heal from within. The therapy is based on the principle that the feet and hands mirror the body. All organs, systems and glands in the body can be mapped onto areas on the feet called reflex points.

A reflexologist knows how to stimulate the reflex points in order to bring about a response in the corresponding part of the body. Reflexology is a therapy which can be received by anyone at any age ─ from newborn babies to the elderly. The therapy works along holistic principles aiming to treat your mind, body and spirit. It is a gentle therapy in which the therapist uses their fingers and thumbs.

The ideas of reflex used for health improvement were carried on sporadically and brought to America in 1909 by Dr. William Fitzgerald.

Whilst the art of reflexology dates back to ancient China, India and Egypt, this therapy was not introduced to the west until Dr.Fitzgerald developed “Zone therapy”.

Benefits of Reflexology: Reflexology helps to restore and maintain the body´s natural equilibrium and encourages it to work naturally to heal itself. The therapy can bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, and has been shown to be effective for many conditions. Examples: - Pain relief in back and joints - Arthritis - Migraine and headaches- Depression - Stress and anxiety - Digestive problems - Sports injuriesm- Breathing disorders - Hormonal imbalances - Sleep disorders and disorders in pregnancy - Restless legs syndrome - Aid circulation, improve blood flow - Relax muscles - Calm over-activity in any part of the body and stimulate under-activity - It may improve co-operation and co-ordination between the bodily systems - It may help relieve congestion - Aids post-operative recovery - Complements cancer care - Stress and stress-related conditions - And many other conditions See main advert below

Parent Questions Children constantly barrage us with questions. Now, here are a few questions for them from the perspective of a mum (or dad): 1. Why is it that you can build towers with perfect precision yet are incapable of aiming into the toilet?

2. Why do you put up a fight every single night at bedtime? Is it really that bad to lay down on a comfortable bed and peacefully fall asleep?

3. Why do you insist on walking up the stairs leaving a trail of grubby fingerprints all over the wall? It's called a banister. Please use it.

4. Why do you lust after a toy belonging to a friend, but when the toy is purchased for you, suddenly you lose interest?

5. Why must you pick your nose and wipe the findings along the walls? If you can't find a tissue, use your sleeves. They're good enough for me.

6. Why are you suddenly dying of thirst the moment I have poured a drink for myself and had a seat?

7. Why do you act like having your toenails cut is torture? It's called a pedicure for crying out loud.

8. Why can you never agree on the same movie, which you all love, at any given time?

9. Why can't you ever just ignore your siblings when they are taunting you? If you do, they will stop. I promise.

10. Why do you wrestle on the couch when 99.9 percent of the time, it ends in tears and hysterics? Do you not remember? Do you enjoy getting hurt?

11. Why is volume control such a difficult concept for you to understand? I CAN HEAR YOU!!!

Silly Exam Answers Certainly an educated bunch !

1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and travelled by Camelot.

The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.

5. The Greeks were highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.

6. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.

2. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked, “Am I my brother’s son?”

7. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.

3. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients.

Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.

8. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java.

4. Solomom had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.

11. Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his subjects by playing the fiddle to them.

9. Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long.

- re Nerja

t it he abou ad all

re!

Nerja, on the Costa del Sol, is a seaside resort of sandy coves sheltered by the impressive Sierra de Almijara mountains and often referred to as 'The Jewel of the Costa del Sol'. A temperate climate means that Nerja is a great place to visit at any time of year.

Nerja is located 53 kilometres east of Málaga on the Costa del Sol and can be reached in about 40 minutes by car from Málaga airport or about an hour and a half by bus. You can get to Nerja by bus, taxi or private/hire car, the choice depending upon such factors as time constraints, budget etc. Hiring a car can, in many cases, work out cheaper than taking a taxi there and back, something to consider.

The Balcón de Europa – Balcony of Europe – is situated on a rocky promontory and was formerly a fortress designed to keep out British pirates and privateers. Today it is the focal point of the town, affording magnificent views up and down the coast. Looking left and down you have Calahonda beach and neighbouring coves, followed by Burriana beach and, in the distance, the picturesque village of Maro, site of the impressive Nerja Caves. haveli – Nerja´s premier Indian restaurant. Celebrate a special evening, a birthday party or an anniversary with friends & family. We accommodate large groups. Our extensive menu features many popular dishes as well as our chef´s own creations. Flavours of authentic Indian cuisine combined with warm hospitality makes Haveli the ideal venue for all your memorable occasions.

Checkout our special Menu of the Day with multiple options; we offer great food at great price!

From November our opening hours are: 7pm - late. We are open on Mondays and closed on Wednesdays. Please call 952524297 or 605110307 to reserve, or Email us at havelinerja@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you!

Much of our time is spent working, performing many tasks where most of the information received is of visual type, the good vision will be essential. Every profession has specific visual needs that must be satisfied to perform the job efficiently, safely and comfortably. If there is a visual problem this reduces labour productivity between 4 and 8 percent, so feel free to make periodic visual checks at Nueva Optica. Among the professions that most aggravate dry eye include: finance, computer science, management and all those professions that require computer use... because the flicker is reduced to 50%. It is important to use lenses that increase visual comfort and reduce eye fatigue in front of the screen. Avda.

Why Advertise In The Sentinella?!

As it’s now 2014, we felt it was time for a gentle reminder about why The Sentinella is still the best magazine in the Axarquia region to advertise your business!

1. The Sentinella is the longest established little magazine in the region. It’s the original Little Mag of this region, which has been running for the last nine and a half years – we’re ten years old this September!

2. Our catchline is ‘the little mag that fits in your bag’ for a reason – readers actually do carry it around with them in their bag or pocket, meaning it’s always to hand when they need to find a business.

3. Our distribution is 7,000 magazines a month – and it really is! Our magazine is also proven to be the most popular local magazine and that’s why it gets picked up so quickly. Nevertheless, we drop magazines off at distribution points throughout the whole of Axarquia – we don’t just pinpoint certain areas such as Nerja or Competa. We also distribute magazines several times a month, not only at the beginning of each month, or solely to our advertisers.

4. Our prices offer clients great value – your advert will be seen by at least 7,000 people, plus at least that amount again as we know that at least two people see every magazine. So in

114 issues 114 Months

Call: 664 210 468

other words, our readership is at least 14,000.

It’s true that there may be cheaper mimic-type advertising options out there, but when you weigh up distribution and readership figures of these other options, you’re actually wasting money by reaching less people – also there’s a lot to be said for appearing in the most popular magazine in the area!

5. The Sentinella contains very funny content and that’s why readers love to pick it up and read it from front to back (or from back to front in the case of some of us – I have to admit, I’m a culprit of that too!)

6. We take care of our clients and always put them first – our team work all the hours that God sends and they go that extra mile to ensure client satisfaction, producing adverts that people not only see, but also act on.

We hope that’s enough to win your hearts in the year ahead! We understand that it’s a time of financial difficulty for many – that’s why we have not put our prices up in the last nine and a half years. We promise to remain not only a quality option, but also a value-driven option for advertisers. We want your business to flourish as much as you do, and that’s a fact!

To enquire about advertising in the March edition, or beyond, call Kami on 664 210 468 or email sales@thesentinella.com

Training Your Puppy To Come Bought to us by Tina from Happy Hounds

pleased you.

Figure out what reward—treat, squeaky toy, tug game—your puppy likes best. Be sure it’s irresistible and much more exciting than anything else in his puppy world. Reserve that for training exercises. Treat rewards are more about fun attention as the food, so it should be tiny, smelly and no bigger than the tip of your little finger.

*Repeat the chase game several times in a row. Leave him wanting more, so stop before he gets tired of the game. Practice the “come” command in this way once or twice a day for a week.

*Find a time when the kids aren’t around, the house is quiet and the other pets take a nap.

Avoid distractions so puppy has only YOU for attention. Call his name, get his attention, and go to him if need be to show him the treat or squeaky toy. *Once he’s focused on you and the reward, say “Name, come!” Then turn round and RUN in the opposite direction. This uses his instinctive urge for social play. Puppies can rarely resist the urge to chase. *Let him catch up with you, and hand or toss him the reward. Praise him for being such a smart doggy. Give lots of petting and happy talk, so he knows without a doubt that he’s

wESTON kENNELS & CaTTEry Fully Licensed kennels Competa Home from Home for your dogs and cats

*After a week, try the exercise while standing still. Make sure the puppy isn’t sleeping, eating, or concentrating on something incredibly interesting. Say “Name, come!” and show the squeaky toy or treat. When he arrives, throw a huge puppy-party with the treat or toy reward. *Once he understands what “come” means and routinely obeys without distractions, challenge him. Try calling him away from interesting pastimes like chasing that butterfly. Practise “come” in new locations—not just in the living room, but also outside in the yard. *Any time your puppy comes to you, no matter how long it takes, be sure to praise and reward.

Above all, you want the puppy returning to you to have only positive associations so he’ll never fear returning to you.

Glass Curtains Just imagine being able to use your balcony or terrace all year round no matter what the weather; sitting with your family and friends enjoying the view even in rain, wind and storm.

It’s not a dream ─ you can do it! With our frameless balcony/terrace glazing, you can have an extra warm and dry space without interfering with your view!

When you choose us to supply your glass curtains we will make sure you are delighted with the final result. Your recommendation is very important to us – and we assure you of perfect service and workmanship to guarantee satisfaction. iCaP sliding and opening systems This system can be installed on any balcony or terrace. Only in very unusual circumstances might extra construction work be necessary, so contact us for perfect assistance and special service.

Our supplier, a company registered in Spain, is dedicated to the manufacture of the ‘Topslide’

system of frameless glass curtains, using toughened glass for safety and security. The system is made to suit the exact needs of the clients, using mechanical parts manufactured especially for ICAP S.L. according to their detailed specifications. The system can be easily fitted in most types of buildings and since there is no need for any vertical frames, it does not change the outer facade. Therefore, your community will not be inconvenienced in any way by the installation of our system.

The installation of glass curtains effectively gives you an additional space to use as you wish: sun room, dining room – whatever you need. It can also save on heating costs during the winter season, accumulating the heat of the sun in your new room, while in summer it can be opened up completely to keep cool. And because the panels open easily, it is very easy to keep clean.

ICAP-Glazings protect against rain, wind and dust and also reduce street noise.

New Mum In Town - Dedicated To Audrey; The Best Pooch Firstly, Jazmin had been ill for most of November with cold after cold (so she had been out of nursery this past month but she is fine now), then I was wiped out with flu, then I had the most unexpected and traumatic incident to deal with; my lovely pooch Audrey (mentioned in past articles) was tragically killed.

On the 16th December 2013, I had spent the entire morning at the beach with Audrey, Jazmin and friends... in the evening, Audrey was on the beach for her evening run and some idiots (putting it politely) threw firecrackers (whilst driving) twice - because, oh, it is just sooo much fun. Well, thanks to their selfish and immature ways, I have had to suffer the terrible consequences of a very bad and irresponsible joke/game.

My Audrey was petrified of fireworks/bangers and she bolted for home. Audrey was a very obedient dog and never ran away or crossed the road, but she had gone crazy with fright.

Her panic fuelled her search for home; she crossed the road at the worst possible moment and went under a motorbike. She died in that instant. No pain. No suffering. No external wounds....I have taken those wounds internally for her. To say that I have suffered is the understatement of 2013 for me.

A dog is not just a pet dog. A dog becomes part of the family, and I got Audrey when she was three months old. I trained her. I did the nighttime toilet runs. I chased her when she was learning to be off the lead (funny now, but not so in that moment, tut tut). I replanted the flowers when she was going through her gardener phase. You could say she was my first baby (just without the nursing hehe) and definitely my best friend. Through every low and high, Audrey was by my side. I took her everywhere with me (even to the hairdresser’s, when I used to go ‘pre-mummy’... although Audrey's hairdresser was always SO much more pricey than mine!) She was perfectly behaved in all coffee shops/bars and went unnoticed. She was brilliantly social with all animals, male or female, as well as all humans, adult or child. When Miss J came along, Audrey went with the flow - she accepted Jazmin (and slight change in our routine) without jealously, or even a growl at baby J. Audrey put up with baby girl (and friends) pulling her tail and ears, mounting her like a horsey, taking her water, suffocating her with cuddles and strokes...yet she was never malicious. She played with and respected Jazmin, and they were fast becoming besties....

That cannot be now, but Jazmin still asks for

her...and I still miss her greatly. Audrey was the best companion, and my first pooch. We will never forget her (the thousand plus photos of her on a USB stick won't allow it) and we will always love her.

My family have suffered awfully (and still are), and we are still grieving for her; maybe, to an extent, we always will.

I ask any parents who may read this, and who may have children who play with petardos, please please please make them fully aware of the consequences that those horrible ' fun toys' can cause to those being frightened by them.

In my case it was my dog, but for someone else it could be a child, a grandparent or indeed another pet. They really should be handled by mature adults only.

Audrey has now been freed at her favourite beach. Be at peace Audrey - keep chasing those stones, but stop drinking sea water; it makes you sick!

I will miss and love you forever xxx

Things That Annoy!

The most irritating things People who drive using their mobile phones and are oblivious to the traffic around them. If they are not wavering out of their lane, they are driving so slow compared to the traffic in front, that cars are forced to go around them in order to catch up.

People who talk during Movies or Concerts.

This really gets to me, especially at a concert, where they should be paying attention to the artist who is performing.

Drivers who don't indicate properly. This really gets to me. Only last night I was going to pull out of a side road and there was a truck coming towards me but indicating that he was going to turn into my road. Good job I didn't pull out, because he just kept on driving straight and would have gone straight into me. Conversely I get mad at those drivers who feel it necessary to indicate when and only when they have already begun to turn. I'm sorry but what's the point of doing it then?

People who park crooked.

Oh yes - you know who you are... So you drive up to park, it's a busy day, few free spaces, and there is this car parked almost diagonally across 2 spaces. Gggrrrrhhh....

Loud music in restaurants.

Don't you just hate it when the noise is so loud that you can't hear yourself think, can't hear your waiter, they can't hear you, and it's impossible to have a conversation. I am one of these people who finds it hard to focus on one specific sound if there is a lot of noise, so trying to understand what a person is saying to me is almost impossible. I often end up nodding and agreeing with them, yet I have no clue what they are talking about.

People who drive without their lights on when it's raining heavily or foggy. Yes I know having your lights on doesn't help you see any better, but wouldn't you feel safer knowing that other drivers can at least see you?.

Casa Linda Inmobilaria For more than 10 years, Casa Linda has been working successfully with a large variety of customers from northern parts of Europe, helping with a wide range of matters concerning the purchase or renting of houses, apartments and land in Spain.

It is estimated that during the past four years, prices for real estate have fallen to the level of the year 2000. The construction boom ended and pricing is at now at a very reasonable level ─ right now is the time to purchase properties in Spain.

In fact, we noticed a slight increase in demand during the past few months. This primarily affects high-priced and valuable objects, as they can be bought in very good conditions.

As the market and demand have changed in recent years, we are also offering more rental places now, as well as assistance with a large range of necessary paperwork such as contracts, translations, NIE etc.

For detailed information, do not hesitate to contact us. Please see our main advert on page 73

& t i u Fr Facts ry Veg lackber B

The humble blackberry, so beloved of children on autumn nature walks, is much more than just a tasty roadside snack Much like spinach, raisins, apples, plums and grapes, blackberries are rich in bioflavonoids and Vitamin C. One cup of blackberries contains half the daily recommendation of vitamin C, which protects the immune system and may lower the risk of developing certain types of cancer. The same amount also contains more than 30 percent of the daily recommended amount of fibre, promoting healthy digestion and reducing the risk of heart disease.

Other nutritional benefits include a very low sodium count and having only 62 calories to a cup.

The dark blue colour ensures blackberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits. Antioxidants, well-known for lowering the risk of a number of cancers, are a huge bonus, but be aware the berries are best consumed in their natural state to get the full benefits.

They are also low in carbohydrates and fat, making them one of the best fruits out there for a balanced diet.

Consumption of blackberries can help to promote the healthy tightening of tissue, which is a great non-surgical procedure to make skin look younger.

Prolonged consumption also helps keeps your brain alert, thereby maintaining clarity of thought and good memory, intestinal inflammation, alleviate haemorrhoids and soothe the effects of diarrhoea. It is important to incorporate berries in your diet in a variety of ways. Have them as a snack or in your cereal or even as a smoothie.

Traditionally, the leaves and barks of the plant have also been consumed. The leaves of blackberries have been used to treat mild in-

flammation of the gums and sometimes even sore throats.

The astringent tannins are effective in oral hygiene when used as a gargle or mouthwash.

The leaves can also be used in a refreshing cup of tea or enhanced as a therapeutic drink. Not everyone will like the flavour, so to mask the bitter taste, honey or another form of sweetener may be added.

The healthy dose of Vitamin K aids in muscle relaxing, so some women use the berries to alleviate labour pains.

As part of a regular diet, the juice can also be used to regulate menstruation as it is very effective in helping blood to clot.

Researchers have found that blackberries may reduce oesophageal cancer by relieving the oxidative stress caused by Barrett's oesophagus, a pre-cancerous condition usually brought about by gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

Triana twist and wind your way along the road from Trapiche to Benamargosa, you actually find yourself driving over avocados as they fall into the road.

You will find the village of Triana by turning left on the A-356 at El Cruce restaurant onto the MA-3113 and driving past the airport (flying club), it is just 6.5 kilometres from VélezMálaga. As villages go, this one is extremely flat which is unusual in the Axarquía. It is also quite a new village with the first houses being built in the late nineteenth century.

At first, foreigners settled across the river in La Zorilla (which had once been inhabited by bandits and smugglers!) but the river which in those days was often full of water, meant that there was no way across and people were stranded for months on end. Also, up in the mountains in the areas known as La Dehesa and Las Chozas, there was once a school for the farmers children but that closed and the people came down the mountain to find work and build houses and a new school.

Citrus fruit was planted close to the river in the valley and the area took on a lush, verdant look. Now the farmers have changed their crops to the more lucrative mango and avocado so instead of driving over lemons as you

For leisure, a new swimming pool and childrens playground has been built and the school gates are left open after school hours for the kids to play football or roller skate. There are a few bars that do food, a supermarket and a few small shops. There is a plaque on the wall of a house, in the closest thing there is to a village square, in honour of the singer José Beltrán Ortega, Niño de Vélez for the world of flamenco, who was born in Triana on 9th April 1906.

The annual Romeria takes place in June and Triana´s main feria is every July. Just outside the village is a small riding school where you can ride out along the dry river bed to one of the many bars, tie up the horses and have a drink and tapas or for the more adventurous ride up into the mountains where the views are spectacular. The teacher, Julia is German and has her British Horse Society teaching qualifications, so you will be in good hands.

“From within or from behind, a Light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the Light is all.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson “If you want to see the Light in this physical world, just take a look around you... the Light is visible in every example of nature which has been lent to us by God.” Keidi Keating “Happiness can be found, in even the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” Albus Dumbledore “At a distance you only see my Light, Come closer... and know... That I am You.” Rumi “If the Light is on, you’re most definitely Home.”

Keidi Keating “Whatever you are physically... male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.” Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

Profile Full Name: Shaun Mark Bean Birthday: April 17, 1959 age: 54 Marital Status: Divorced Children: Molly Bean, Evie Natasha Bean, Lorna Bean Birthplace: Handsworth, South Yorkshire Sign: Aries As a child, Sean smashed a glass door during an argument. It left a piece of glass embedded in his leg which briefly impeded his walking and left a large scar. This prevented him from pursuing his dream of playing football professionally.

A passionate lifelong supporter of Sheffield United, he has a tattoo saying ‘100% Blade’ on his left shoulder and was a director of the club for a while Sean made his professional acting debut in 1983 as Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury.

His first national exposure came in an advert for non-alcoholic lager.

Bernard Cornwell’s novels about the Peninsular War, was filmed first in Ukraine and later in Portugal.

While filming The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Sean’s fear of flying in helicopters caused him difficulties in mountainous New Zealand.

After one particularly rough ride, he refused to fly to a location again; in one instance, he chose to take a ski lift into the mountains while wearing his full costume (complete with shield, armour, and sword) and then hike the final few miles.

Sean’s voice-over work includes TV adverts for O2, Morrisons, Barnardos, Acuvue, the National Blood Service and the intro and outro segments of the BBC Formula 1 racing coverage for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

In August 2012, Sean’s role as cross-dressing teacher Simon in the UK TV series Accused earned a Royal Television Society best actor award.

He was voted the UK's second sexiest man in 2004; placed just behind his Lord of the Rings co-star Orlando Bloom.

Sean is a talented pianist. He is also a keen gardener, welder, and sketcher.

He was accused of physically abusing his thenwife, Georgina Sutcliffe, in 2009, and police were called to their home on three occasions.

Sean was later arrested over claims he made harassing phone calls and sent abusive text messages to her, but the charges were subsequently dropped.

Between 1986 and 1988, Sean was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, appearing in productions of Romeo and Juliet, The Fair Maid of the West, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

In 1996, Sean combined his love of football with his career to finally achieve his childhood dream of playing for Sheffield United, as Jimmy Muir in the film When Saturday Comes.

Sean was only chosen to play Sharpe after Paul McGann was injured while playing football two days into filming.The series, based on

Sean began a relationship with actress Ashley Moore this summer.

In his home city of Sheffield, he received an honorary doctorate from Sheffield Hallam University in 1997 and a second doctorate, a Doctor of Letters in English Literature, the same year.

Manta rays are large eagle rays belonging to the genus Manta.

The skin is covered in mucus which protects it from infection.

Mantas move through the water by the winglike movements of their pectoral fins, which drive water backwards.

They must swim continuously to keep oxygenated water passing over their gills.

Mantas track down prey using visual and olfactory senses.

The larger species, M. birostris, reaches 7 m (23 ft) in width while the smaller, M. alfredi, reaches 5.5 m (18 ft).

They have one of the highest brain-to-body mass ratios of all fish.

Mantas can be found in temperate, subtropical and tropical waters.

When fully developed, the pup resembles a miniature adult and is expelled from the oviduct with no further parental care.

They are filter feeders and eat large quantities of zooplankton – such as shrimp, krill and planktonic crabs -- which they swallow with their open mouths as they swim.

Mantas may travel alone or in groups of up to 50.

Their gestation period lasts over a year, producing live pups which are expelled, fullyformed, from the oviduct with no further parental care.

Both species are listed as ‘Vulnerable’ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Threats include pollution, entanglement in fishing nets, and direct harvesting for their gill rakers for use in Chinese medicine.

Areas where mantas congregate are popular with tourists, but only a few aquaria are large enough to house them.

by Juanita Banana of www.AbsoluteAxarquia.com ARIES: March 21-April 20 Hard work, long hours and a disciplined sense of boundaries will pay off in your ambition for success and the need to find recognition in what´s important in your world.

Inject love into your deeds or only half of your expectations will succeed.

TAURUS: April 21-May 21 A time to re-harmonise your environment, health and daily life which you can bring about by a change of schedule(s), plans, even hopes and dreams. You may not like this but a new start is necessary for better outcomes.

GEMINI: May 22-June 21 Neglect nothing and no-one this month and you will assist others in seeing and solving problems that aren´t necessarily apparent at present. Let others express what they think, know, want and need, and you will be nourishing those you care for.

CANCER: June 22-July 22 Your home, your children, close family and creativity are the focus for the next several months. Although emphasis is shifting, and some priorities have been met, balance within your home is paramount for your thoughts and endeavours to flourish.

LEO: July 23-August 23 A good time for Leos to secure your future and lay foundations. You may consider opening a business or purchasing property, not necessarily where you currently live. Those around you will feel unsettled by this so take time to consider their feelings before jumping in. A hitherto secret family issue may be exposed.

VIRGO: August 24-September 22 Careful handling of financial and other resources will prevent what could otherwise become a chaotic situation. A good time

to plan or take a trip to see distant family or friends, the delayed planning of which may result in disappointment.

LIBRA: September 23 - October 22 Everyone wants to help Librans this month so, should you need assistance financial or otherwise, ask those you trust.

Resources already held, can be maintained and upgraded making them more attractive and valuable; just take care to guard and appreciate them.

SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21 Your plans are still fragile and relatively unprepared so better to keep them to yourself than risk negative scrutiny and criticism. Catch up with old friends and forgive them any former indiscretions.

SAGITTARIUS: November 22 - December 21 You are experiencing some intense and unnecessary personal scrutiny, resulting in lowered expectations of yourself. Embark on a project or challenge you´ve previously had in mind.

CAPRICORN: December 22 - January 20 To climb the mountains you encounter during January, you need self-control and discipline throughout all levels of your life.

Be patient and your steadfastness will lead to a series of satisfying achievements.

AQUARIUS: January 21 - February 19 A glitch in life occurs for Aquarians in January and is symptomatic of the rest you currently require. If you're feeling stressed, fatigued or low on self-esteem, try swimming or other exercise, writing, and seek the company of friends who listen.

PISCES: February 20 - March 20 Your hopes, wishes and dreams may need grounding to be practical. Be careful too of setting intangible goals within groups and organisations and encourage other members to contribute.

) : a h a Jokes h On a bitterly cold winter morning a husband and wife in Dublin were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snow ploughs can get through."

So the good wife went out and moved her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snow ploughs can get through."

The good wife went out and moved her car again.

The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park...."

Then the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "I don't know what to do.

Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snow ploughs can get through?"

Then with the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, the husband replied, "Why don't you just leave the bloody car in the garage this time."

------------------------------------------------------------Once upon a time, a guy asked a beautiful girl 'Will you marry me?'

The girl said, 'NO!' And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

The End ------------------------------------------------------------Two women called at my door and asked what bread I ate, when I said white they gave me a lecture on the benefits of brown bread for 30

minutes. I think they were those Hovis Witnesses.

------------------------------------------------------------After years of research, scientists have discovered what makes women happy - Nothing.

------------------------------------------------------------Just had my water bill of £175 drop on my mat.

That's a lot. Oxfam can supply a whole African village for just £2 a month: time to change supplier I think.

------------------------------------------------------------Japanese scientists have created a camera with a shutter speed so fast, they can now photograph a woman with her mouth shut.

------------------------------------------------------------A boy asks his granny, 'Have you seen my pills, they were labelled LSD?' Granny replies, ‘Forget the pills, have you seen the dragons in the kitchen?!

------------------------------------------------------------Wife gets naked and asks hubby, 'What turns you on more, my pretty face or my sexy body?

Hubby looks her up and down and replies, 'Your sense of humour!’

------------------------------------------------------------My mate just hired an Eastern European cleaner, took her 15 hours to Hoover the house. Turns out she was a Slovak.

------------------------------------------------------------Since the snow came all the wife has done is look through the window. If it gets any worse, I'll have to let her in.

------------------------------------------------------------I was sh***ing this bird over her kitchen table when we heard the front door open.

She said, "It's my husband, quick, try the back door!"

Thinking back, I really should have legged it but you don't get offers like that every day.

------------------------------------------------------------Sorry for not calling you on New Years, I just got out of jail. I got locked up for punching this bloke at a party. In my defence, when you hear an Arab counting down from 10, your instincts kick in!

Jokes h a ha :) Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the chemist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone."

Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront the chemist and demanded an apology.

Before he could say more than a word or two, the chemist told him:-- "Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realise that I'd locked the house with both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my keys.

"Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket.

Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tyre."

"When I finally got to the store a bunch of people were waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people, all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook."

He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of coins against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the coins and the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it.

Half of them hit the floor and broke."

"Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife.

She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer. And believe me sir, as God is my witness, all I did was to tell her how!"

--------------------------------------------------------------Paddy shouts frantically into the phone "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"

"Is this her first child?" asks the Doctor. "No", shouts Paddy, "This is her husband!"

An old Irish farmer's dog goes missing and he's inconsolable. His wife says "Why don't you put an advert in the paper?"

He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing. "What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks.

"Here boy" he replies.

--------------------------------------------------------------An American tourist asks an Irishman: "Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?"

To which the Irishman replies: "If they fell forwards, they'd still be in the bloody boat."

--------------------------------------------------------------Two Irishmen are hammering floorboards down in a house.

Paddy picks up a nail, realises it's upside down & throws it away.

He carries on doing this until Murphy says, "Why are you throwing them away?"

"Because they're upside down," says Paddy.

"You daft prat," replies Murphy, "save 'em for the ceiling!!"

Saint Stevie The Scouse Section Two kids playing football in a park in Manchester, when one of the kids is suddenly attacked by a rottweiler, luckily the other kid finds a plank of wood and shoves it in the dogs mouth, twists and breaks the dogs neck!

A man also in the park witnesses this, he says to the kid i'm a journalist for the Manchester Evening news, I would like to write an article about what just happens.

He starts writing a headline "United fan saves friend from dog", The kid says "I'm not a United fan".

He starts again "City fan saves friend from dog". Kid says "I'm not a City fan".

The journalist asks "Who do you support then", The kid answers "Liverpool".

The journalists starts again "Scouse b****** kills family pet!"
