From the Ed..

Last month I endured the great joy of acquiring an official resident’s document, typically known as ‘residencia’.

I’d muscled through with just the ‘tax resident’ title for the last five years, but it was about time for the upgrade, especially as I needed a new washing machine. The good electrical shops give customers a sizeable discount for the privilege of taking away your old one. I couldn’t deny myself such advantages.

I’d put off ‘residencia’ for months, mainly because during my time here I’ve heard one too many complaints about the amount of time it takes to queue up at the Police Station, and that the whole damn process is nothing short of a palaver.

Perhaps I fancied a palaver, but more than likely it was the lure of a discounted washing machine, so I trudged to the Police Station one sunny morning, along with my mum, who came to keep me company.

When we arrived at the big locked doors, somewhere around 8.40am, there were already a dozen or so people meandering outside, all bleary-eyed and looking as bored as hell.

We fastened ourselves to the end of what appeared to be the queue and propped against the wall for a slight slither of anything resembling comfort.

Then a man and woman appeared, clearly English, as they were both sunburnt and he was wearing those hideous sandals with white socks pulled half-way up the leg.

Rather annoyingly they decided to stop beyond my mother and I. We believed we had fallen victim to a pair of queue jumpers, but really they knew something we didn’t. Ten minutes later the doors were unlocked and a man handed out

Please mention The Sentinella when replying to adverts pink tickets with numbers printed on them, like the ones you get at the fish counter in supermarkets.

Socks cheekily made sure he took one before me and I shot him a disgruntled look, thinking how he should visit the Fashion Police Station, rather than the ordinary one.

Therefore I had found my first quibble.

Not so much socks (although that’s a whole new quibble), but rather that the ticket system is unfair.

Everyone piled in and for a moment I thought of that child’s party game, musical chairs, but without the music.

I was impressed that the ticket numbers flew past rather quickly and within just five minutes my mum and I were sat behind the desk. The lady handed me a form to fill out and told me she needed a photocopy of my passport. I also needed to go and pay 10€ in the bank across the road. I wondered why I couldn’t just give her my ten Euro note and save a walk and the risk of being flattened by the tram when crossing the road.

Unfortunately I was kept waiting behind the world’s slowest man at the bank, who seemed to be catching up on a year’s worth of tasks, and the man before me at the photocopying shop was making copies of each and every page of his Escritura, both sides.

Nevertheless, we soon stepped back into the Police Station and I was delighted to sit at the desk straight away, without even needing to take another ticket I was disappointed to learn that they’ve done away with the old Resident’s Cards. Now all you get is a sheet of uninteresting paper, with a few fancy shiny bits on it, which look like they’ve been thrown on with no real thought. Plus, as the document doesn’t include a photo, for identification purposes it must be shown along with a passport. Kind of defeats the object don’t you think..? At this rate, I'll have to replace my handbag with a sack...

Oh well, the ‘ordeal’ wasn’t so bad I suppose. It only took 40 minutes all in and at least now I can buy a washing machine and save a few Euros!

strange News A ‘Spit’ Weird….

China's equivalent of eBay has banned an online trader from selling the saliva of pretty teenage girls.

The seller claimed the saliva was a 'tonic' and was asking the equivalent of £2 a small bottle.

Listings for the bottles included pictures of the 18-year-old girls the saliva was supposedly taken from.

However, auction house Taobao.com deleted the listings after receiving dozens of complaints from web surfers.

Robot Snake New Spy Israeli military scientists have reportedly designed a robotic snake which can spy on enemies and plant bombs.

The remote-controlled reptile is able to sneak through cracks in buildings to gather information on enemy combatants.

A soldier controls the snake from a remote laptop and can follow what it sees via video cameras.

Footage posted online shows the sixfoot long snake in camouflage gear, winding its way through rocks and tree stumps.

The Israel Defence Forces plan to equip combat units with the models, which could also be used to find survivors trapped in collapsed buildings.

It’s Raining…errrrrm…Tadpoles!

Residents and scientists in Japan were baffled after it started raining tadpoles.

Clouds of dead tadpoles fell from the sky in a number of cities in Ishikawa Prefecture at the start of the month.

The raining down of small creatures such as frogs and fish is a rare meteorological phenomenon that is reported from time to time across the world.

Scientists have widely attributed the surreal raining of animals to strong winds, storms and water sprouts sucking up creatures before depositing them further inland.

However, this explanation has not satisfied meteorologists in the Ishikawa region.

True story!

Is it you?!

Outside Bristol Zoo there is a car park for 150 cars and 8 coaches. There also used to be a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 and coaches £5. This parking attendant worked there for all of 25 years, then one day he just didn't turn up for work...

"Ho hum", said Bristol Zoo Management - "better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant" ......

"Err no", said the Council, "that car park is your responsibility" ...

"Err no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn't he?" .....

"Err NO!" Sitting in his villa in Spain is a bloke, who had been taking daily the car park fees, amounting to an estimated £400 per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years...

Are you frustrated by all the false information about How To Get Skinny Arms?

One of the worst women problem areas is their arms, because this is where fat tends to build up. If you finally want to get rid of those bingo wings and get toned arms here a few tips and tricks.

1. First of all diet, I know that when most of you read this you will run in fear but a diet does not have to be boring. In fact a diet is a lifestyle, because if you want to lose weight off your arms for good and not gain it back you need a diet you can stick to in the long run.

The main foods for how to get skinny arms include, fresh fruit, vegetables, lean mean, skim dairy, low gi carbohydrates, nuts and seeds and yes, you can even have your favourite treat every now and then. I am sure that if you stick to these simple foods you will have toned arms in no time.

2. Exercise is key. If you want to know how to get skinny arms you should be doing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. This can be as simple as walking to the park, local shops or even playing in the backyard with your children. They will love this and so will your body. It will help speed up the fat burning process leaving you with toned arms.

3. Drink more water, water helps flush out toxins in your body that could be causing you to gain fat.

Water is definitely how to get skinny arms because it will help keep you full between meals and burn more fat because your metabolism speeds up.

Try eight glasses of water a day and add lemon. That is how I make sure I get my two litres of water a day. Water plays a vital role in how to get skinny arms.

Old age!

The secret to old age!

A doctor on his morning walk, noticed an older lady sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look!

What is your secret?"

"I smoke ten cigars a day," she said.

"Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, get laid, and don't exercise at all."

"That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?" “34�, she replied!

Jardin de Pajaros In only 11 months, Hannelore and Rüdiger have transformed an ugly piece of waste land at Chiringuito Antonio’s into a beautiful Bird Park.

Now there are some 100 different birds from five continents living in a wonderful creative garden. From a budgerigar to the big ara, from the small barn owl to the imposing eagle owl, there are lots to admire. There are also a couple of kookaburras, from Australia, which capture the attention of visitors with their laughter.

Apart from the birds and flowers there are also some interesting sculptures, ceramics, including stone and wood arranged within the park. It really does stimulate ones senses.

Rüdiger and Hannelore would like to make everyone feel welcome. There is also a seating area where visitors can enjoy good coffee and homemade Ger-

man cakes and let one’s soul drift away among the beauty and exotic sounds.

Rüdiger had a Bird Park in Germany and is on hand to answer any questions in German, Spanish and English. School visits and birthday parties are always met with expert guidance and attention.

Hannelore has worked as a masseuse and therapist for seven years in Spain, so why not combine the park visit with a massage or medical pedicure?

They both see many more possibilities with the park in the future, such as ceramic and painting courses for the artists among us. What a great destination and ambience this would deliver.

Entry to the park is only 1€ for adults and 0.50 cents for children. This just covers the bird feed, so you may feel you can afford a family visit. It’s well worth it!

green with Envy?!

It seems more and more homes on the Costas are growing wise to the benefits of artificial grass on the south coast of Spain. More than 500 happy clients will enjoy their artificial lawns this summer, without the bother of watering and mowing. This simply means they have more time to enjoy their new look garden, terrace or poolside!

Stylex Green, the artificial lawn specialists, has been installing these incredibly realistic artificial lawns as far afield as La Linea, Jaen and Mojacar in recent months, as the portfolio of successful projects and glowing references expands by the week.

readers writes Transform your terrace

CHILLOW PILLOW - WOW They certainly caught my eye when I saw them advertised. With the summer looming and having just moved into a new home which is quite a bit smaller than anything we have ever lived in, I was a bit apprehensive about how we would cope during the summer months.

Although we have air conditioning I am not a great fan - excuse the pun - due to the sometimes adverse health reactions.

So I went ahead and purchased two Chillows, just to make sure my wife and I would not fight over them. Well what a great buy! I cannot believe what a comfortable nights sleep I have. In actual fact I now have a job to wake up on time, which has never happened before!

It’s reassuring to know that my summertime sleep will not be affected by the hot sultry nights typical in high season.

This product comes highly recommended.

The summer months are a tough time to keep your lawn areas looking fresh and green. The scorching Andalucian sun burns grass that is not regularly watered, meaning a real lawn becomes rather expensive when the water bills eventually come through the letter box! Stylex Green has more than 40 varieties of artificial lawn, many of which are virtually impossible to tell apart from the real thing. You never have to water it, mow it or weed it. Also, there are no bugs and no hay fever! It remains green all year round and will stay so for at least ten years. It is perfect for poolside, gardens, roof terraces, patios and pathways.

Hardwearing for all uses, you can say goodbye to worn out patchy lawns and muddy patches being trampled into the Warning: you may sleep too well! house. It can be installed on soil, grit, Caution: you may become addicted! concrete or tiles and it will transform your Sue from Caleta 24 www.thesentinella.com

gardening Time Now the high temperatures of summer are with us we will be using our terraces more and more.

For those of us who are in the process of designing new terracing here are a few pointers which I hope will be of use to you. Even if you are not thinking of outside lighting it is always better to still put conduit for wiring as this will cost very little if done while the terrace is being constructed. If you require lighting at a later date it can be installed at a relatively low cost.

Outside taps are normally on the wall of the house but it is very handy to have a tap away from the house and once again it can be installed much cheaper at this stage. Irrigation tubing should also be installed so as to hide unsightly pipes.

Although I personally prefer raised beds on terraces lots of people like to grow plants in large pots and containers. If you plan where these will be, once again you can easily hide irrigation piping, ready to supply them when the terrace is completed.

We have all heard of terraces breaking up and walls collapsing so it is very important to use reinforced concrete for the base and footings. The depth of concrete is relative to site conditions and terrain,

so if you are doing the project yourself please obtain advice from a professional.

The choice of tiles is up to you but if you use ceramic tiles do use ones with outside quality and use a propriety brand of grout. As with any project, half the battle is in the planning as it is very expensive to rectify mistakes once the concrete is laid. A few extra hours of planning could save a lot of heartache in the long run.

This time of year the main job to be carried out is watering and once again I would point out the importance of watering new trees and plants thoroughly, as otherwise they will die very easily. Also, keep an eye out for insects and fungus attacks, and spray if required.

In last month’s article I said I would keep you updated on Paul and my efforts on the new allotment. We have already harvested lettuce and courgettes and all the other plants are showing signs of a good crop, although admittedly the tomato plants could be better. Looking over the fence into our neighbour’s established plots I can only say they would win the prizes at any vegetable show.

Until next month, Don Browne.... Feel free to give me a ring if you want to discuss anything or email me on dreamofeden@yahoo.com

Perfect alarm!

Company Profile ¡PERFECT Alarm!

S.L.: Caleta de Velez ¡PERFECT Alarm! S.L. main goal is it to prevent burglaries. Most common alarm systems react to a break in, unfortunately after the burglar has broken in.

Now the alarm is either forwarded to a responsible agent or a trusted person.

Sometimes even pictures from video cameras are taken to identify the burglars.

But the situation in Spain and in particular in the campo is different. Burglars don’t have to rush, it takes too long for someone to shows up and deter the burglar. They use the campo and not the roads, and are gone before they enter a risk to be caught. After looking around at numerous alarm systems on the market we were disappointed about the fact that this is the standard until now. We needed a system that generated an alarm already at the first intrusion attempt.

Early detection of the use of force on the outer shell of the house was the key to a perfect alarm system. But it was also our goal to find a system that gives you and your pets the freedom of movement within your property, even when the alarm system is activated.

We were looking for a system that could react to the intruder’s attempt and which can be customised to our needs, so other systems can be attached for appropriate actions, which can prevent damage to and within the property, and effectively forestalls an encounter between the occupant and the perpetrator.

Sounds like a lot, even all readers and home owners would agree with us. We were lucky to find the Swiss company LISTENER. A great team of young and experienced engineers, that has invented a unique system that has been well established in central Europe for more than 7 years. ¡PERFECT Alarm! S. L. from Caleta de Velez is the only company that has the licence for distribution and installation in Andalucía. With LIS28

TENER, we have the chance to install a custom tailored system, which fits the specific needs of our customers in Andalucía.

With the digital cameras of the famous German company MOBOTIX, we have a product that is programmable and indestructible which works perfect together with our modular alarm system.

Beside the security aspect, these cameras also can be used for routine checking on your property, from any place of the world via Internet or your personal Mobile Phone. With the integrated microphone you are even in the position to communicate from any place with the people that ask for access to your property.

This is the key to the next generation of home automation, the comfort of automatic or remote controlling of your home, for example, starting your heater or air conditioner, control lighting, blinds, automatic watering of your plants etc. .

We from ¡PERFECT Alarm! S.L. have a lot of ideas. Just give us a call, we would like to talk with you and give you a free demonstration. ¡PERFECT Alarm! S.L.

keep Love alive Five things you can do to keep love alive‌ 1. Communicate regularly. There are three types of communication in relationships: informational, disruptive, and connective. Informational communication includes facts or requests like, "We need milk. Can you pick some up on your way home?" Disruptive communication happens when we are angry or upset, and leads to a feeling of being disconnected from your partner. It includes 'you" language such as, "You never clean up after yourself." Connective communication brings people together, so it's important to spend time each day communicating in a connective way. Let your partner know when you appreciate something they did, speak from the heart, and let them in on your

hopes, fears and dreams. Connective communication includes not just words, but body language. A kiss goodbye, a hug for no reason, or looking lovingly into your partners eyes are all examples of connective communication.

2. Laugh together. Laughter is a great medicine. It helps the endorphins kick in and remind you why you connected in the first place. Studies have shown that women who find their mates funny have happier and longer marriages. You can rent a funny movie, go to a comedy show, or even decide to look for funny things about your regular day. It's easy to look for what's wrong, try looking for what's funny instead.

3. Turn off the TV. Unless it's a funny movie and you're laughing together, TV makes us catatonic. Focus on each other instead of the screen. Use the time you would have spent watching the news for the second time to practice connective communication. It might feel awkward at first, especially if you have already developed the habit of watching TV all night, but it will get easier.

4. Go somewhere different. Whether it's a new restaurant, or getting lost on a Sunday drive, do something different to stay out of a rut. This is especially important in bed. Get a toy, share a fantasy, or indulge in an afternoon delight.

The hormones that got you going when you were first together are different than the ones that help you stay together, but you can amp things up again by infusing novelty into your sex life.

5. Spend Time Alone. I mean totally alone, by yourself, not even with your partner. Alone time is rejuvenating to the soul, and absence makes the heart grow fonder. I recommend you each take a separate vacation once a year.

Business Coaching

By Keidi Keating, Editor Soaked with entrepreneurial spirits and seeping frustration, I decided to enlist the support of a Business Coach to help whisk a new business off the ground, which has been playing on my mind for months. Andi Roberts is his name and he’s based in the region of Cadiz, but as most coaching is conducted via the telephone and email, the distance isn’t problematic. Immediately making me feel at ease, Andi described his role in the coaching process, before picking my brains via a stream of gentle questions to discover what I wanted to achieve from the sessions. I’ve had a few ideas for internet businesses swimming around my head for a good six months now, so it was time for some clarity about which idea to choose and how to motor ahead in a constructive way. At the start of our session I had no clue which idea to select, but Andi asked me the right blend of questions to slowly extract that information. My ‘homework’, to complete before next weeks session,

44

was to research each of my ideas online, paying particular attention to the one I was naturally most excited about.

Strangely enough, after conducting my research, I decided to go with the idea I was less excited about overall, but which would prove an easier and less time consuming option at this time in my life (I’m a busy girl you know)! Our next session was just as productive as the first and I’m now totally clear about which business to develop. My next step is to determine the niche audience I aim to target, plus decide what kind of products and services I would like to incorporate on my website. It’s a great feeling to know that I’m one step closer to realising my business goals and I can’t wait to press forward. Stay tuned to follow my progress next month.

If you would like some impartial help and advice in launching a new business, or if you would like to take an existing business to a new level, call Andi about the option of Business Coaching. Call 628 897 362 or log on to: www.AndiRoberts.com

BEM idiomas

Well for those of you who have been following my ‘learning Spanish journey’, it’s been six months! Yes six months! Doesn’t time fly, when you’re having fun, isn’t that how saying goes?! I’ve had plenty of fun along the way, admittedly not all the time, but the majority…

For those of you who are just joining me, six months ago I started Spanish lessons at BEM idiomas, in Velez Malaga, with two goals, 1) the ability to speak fluent Spanish before my one-year-old, and 2) to have a conversation in Spanish with my 4-year-old without her saying, “Mum don’t you know anything?”, or “No Mum, not like that, say it like this.”

This month I feel much happier with my progress, like I have stepped up a gear and on to the next level. Not the fastest learner in the world and not having enough personal time to study Spanish at home, I can only practice in my lessons. This means that it will take longer than I first anticipated, but my tutor Sandra is a very patient lady and has recognised that I’m ready for the next level. I was chuffed to bits when she said we were going to move on to the past tense,

46

but at the same time a little worried too, as I had only just cracked the present tense.

My lessons are completely different now to when I first started at BEM idiomas.

Sandra talks in Spanish pretty much all the time and mostly I understand everything, including a lot of what she writes.

I have approximately one more year until my little one will be talking properly, so for me its practice, practice, practice!

Don’t forget there’s still time for you to sign up for some Spanish lessons over the summer period. BEM idiomas are offering ‘Summer Intensive Courses’ with special prices throughout July and August. A 20 hour course lasts two or four weeks depending on your time schedule and is just 80 euros - usual price 120 euros. They are even offering ‘Family Courses’. Why not enjoy a family day out and have some fun learning together or maybe you prefer just to have a chat.

Maybe you can already speak Spanish but lack “the confidence”, then the session ¡“Hablamos”! (Let’s speak) will be the one for you. This session cost just 6 euros for existing Bem idiomas students and 9 euros for non-students. Starting at midday - 2pm and there is the possibility of attending just 1 hour therefore being half price.

Give Viviane a call for further details on all the courses at BEM idiomas this summer 952 54 92 33.

Book review Breakfast with Figs Talking of Wendy, who bought me my artist’s satchel. I remember one day, at the herb farm, when I was out of the office and she kindly answered my ringing phone.

‘Hello, Herb Farm, can I help you?’ she said.

‘Bruce here,’ came the reply.

‘Bruce who?’ said Wendy.

‘Bruce Forsyth. Could you urgently send a few packets of your rosemary tea to my home address?’

‘Yes, certainly Mr Forsyth! Pull the other one, you can’t fool me!’ And she put the phone down.

Then I returned to the office.

‘I hope it’s okay,’ said Wendy, ‘but your phone was ringing, so I answered it. It was some joker calling, pretending to be Bruce Forsyth and asking for some rosemary tea.

I told him to pull the other one and put the phone down. I hope I did the right thing.’

I was just about to answer Wendy when the phone rang again.

‘Hello?’ I said.

‘Oh, good afternoon, Mr Khan. It’s Mrs Mann, the buyer from Harrods health-food department here. We’ve sold out of your rosemary tea and our best customer, Bruce Forsyth, urgently needs some.

Could you send him some please? It’s the only thing he’ll drink to calm his nerves before he goes on stage.’

‘Certainly,’ I told her. Then I got off the phone and told Wendy to get some tea over to Mr Forsyth sharpish.

By which point she needed a few cups for her own nerves.

de Cotta Law Buying “off plan”. By Myles G. Jackson, Barrister-at-Law, De Cotta McKenna y Santafé Purchasing a house is probably the most important investment you can make. In Spain, it is relatively common to buy property direct from the developer by making deposit payments whilst your house is being built. This is known as 'buying off-plan'.

Indeed, off-plans have been the motor driving Spain's property boom. It oiled developers' cash-flow and enabled purchasers to buy property for less than its value upon completion. Similarly, offplans allow one to chip away 25-30% of the purchase price, meaning a lower mortgage. However, purchasers ought to be aware that buying off-plan isn't wholly risk-free.

Under Spanish Law, off-plan developers must ensure that all deposit monies are guaranteed by a bank or recognised body. Accordingly, all off-plan Contracts of Sale-Purchase state all deposit monies are to be paid into a dedicated account as held by the developer and all such monies are to be guaranteed. Typically, the Contract also states that the developer will hand the guarantee to the purchaser within 21 days of signing.

However, given banks charge developers for the guarantee, developers occasionally 'forget' to pay the bank, meaning the guarantee is never issued. Mr. Purchaser, buying without a lawyer, doesn't realise what's happened or not happened. In such circumstances, should

the developer be declared bankrupt, the deposit monies are lost and the purchaser bereft of effective recourse.

Even if you are handed it upon signing the contract, things still can become a bit pear-shaped. Why? Because 99 times out of a 100, off-plan purchases entail an initial deposit of, say, 10,000€ payable upon signing and eighteen monthly payments of, say, 1,000€ thereafter. And 99 times out of a 100, the guarantee handed to you upon signing will only cover the first payment i.e. 10,000€.

Each of the 18 subsequent payments requires separate guarantees. Accordingly, were the developer to 'forget' the additional guarantees, although your initial 10,000€ might be ring-fenced, the same cannot be said of the 18,000€.

You or your lawyer should insist that original bank guarantees for all deposit monies are handed over when signing the contract. If they are not available, it doesn't necessarily mean that they won't become available, it just means that your money won't be safeguarded until they do – sometimes making for a very stressful and distant mañana.

soltint Chas Laryea runs Soltint Window Films on the Costa del Sol. The Sentinella caught up with him to tell us about his business.

“We set-up Soltint in 2003. In Oct 2004 we held an exhibition at Malaga Trade Centre and the business really took off.

We couldn’t believe how many people said it was “just what we've been looking for”. We returned to the Trade Centre for a second time in April 2005 and we've not looked back since. The business is very successful and we have many satisfied customers all over the Costa del Sol area and beyond.

“We are only a small team so we can keep running costs down to a minimum and offer customers a very personal service. I personally meet almost every

customer we deal with.

“Our product is a film that fits to any glass surface and when fitted, it’s almost unnoticeable. It comes with a ten year guarantee and does not peel, crack, or fade. In our five years of operation we've never had to return to do any major refits or repairs. Most our customers would be happy to give testimonials about the quality and effectiveness of Soltint Window Films (telephone numbers given on request).

“If you suffer with the sun bursting through your windows and you have to close the curtains or draw the blinds to stop the glare, you lose your view outside. Soltint reduces the glare and gives you privacy during the daytime, plus you don’t lose your outside views. We find that most customers only have a few windows that cause problems with the sun or privacy, so it’s not expensive to have Soltint fitted.

“We fit many park homes along the Costa and into the Antequera area.

Once again, we find park home customers have three main reasons for fitting Soltint window film. Privacy, to reduce glare and for added comfort.

When fitted on to shops, restaurants and offices, the aim is to reduce heat entering the room via the windows. During sweltering periods very few people sit next to large windows in restaurants and bars. With Soltint they can.

Give us a call and we’ll come and give you a quote, or tell us your window sizes and we’ll give you an idea of the cost.

You’ll be surprised how cost effective it is.

And remember, if Soltint does not do what we say it will do, we’ll walk away and you receive the product for FREE!!!!!!!!

Sundays...

New stock in at LA VAQUERIA this month. What a delightful time I’ve had selecting from a beautiful range of DUFEX 3D decoupage sheets and stickers with designs by Caron Vinson and Christine Haworth, including faerie poppets, paint box poppets and toreads, with complementing blank cards and backing papers I feel I’ve managed to pick something to suite all tastes. For those of you new to the craft contact Su or just call in to the Thursday morning art and craft group. For the youngsters (and young at heart!) we are having Saturday morning craft and play groups throughout July. Come and have some fun with pom poms, pipe cleaners, foam and joggle eyes and make some furry bugs and animals to take away! Phone up to book your space now!

Also new this month is the LOVE A CHILD FOUNDATION display of hand printed Indian cotton sheets and throws, the stunning colours and designs make these a beautiful and affordable gift or addition to your home.

Raising money for children in Burma, Tibet and Ecuador, John Margetson, founder of the foundation, personally sees that all funds go directly to each project. For further information on projects or how to become involved click on www.loveachildfoundation.com Meanwhile in the BENAWARE print shop everything is whirring and clicking away! After experiencing a few hitches with some UK suppliers, a nice American company has finally come to the rescue with local firms being used where possible. If you are looking for a unique T-shirt drop in and discuss it with Russ.

Bring a photo or a one off design and stand out this summer!

One of the nicest things about living in Spain for me is Sundays, arguably the nicest day anywhere admittedly, but I can’t for the life of me ever remember families taking their TV out for a day at the beach before I came here! Entire branches of families pile what appears to be the majority of their goods and chattels into vehicles to congregate together at local beauty spots. I think some of the best paella I ever tasted has been more or less forced upon us by huge and congenial gypsy families who were delighted to share some of our tuna/mayo and cucumber sandwiches in return! At LA VAQUERIA Sundays are now reserved for THE BISTRO where the pretty shaded garden has been filling up with happy diners enjoying the freshly prepared BRUNCH; the sound of chatter and laughter making us feel like any other lovely Sunday venue in Southern Spain. In fact, with GREENER SENIORS displaying an increasing range of useful ecological products in the new potting shed, our garden could even be described as the perfect Sunday venue!

Pop your head round the door for your environmentally friendly cleaning products, organic seeds and much, much more.

For more information on our activities or how to find us call Su on 952517273, see Jo at the markets or visit the website www.lavaqueria.com we are looking forward to meeting you.

Life Coaching

It's that page of the month again - the Share'oscope page!

Balance. We all seek it, yet few seldom find it in their lives, at least not without a struggle.

Mr Stockmarket has revealed that the share for July is BATM, and he has purchased (in his imagination, not in real life) 3030 of them at 33p a head.

He told The Sentinella, "This share is an old favourite of mine. It is in the IT hardware sector. Rumours are it's on it's way up again.

Now a look at selections from previous months: Sepura, bought for 32p, now 40p Huntsworth 32p, bought for, now 55p Ferrexpo, bought for 70p, now 128p Northgate, bought for 80p, now 127p Trinity Mirror, bought for 45p, now 60p Bank of Ireland, bought for 91p, now 156p More next month!

I’m naturally business-minded and I’m always working on about a gazillion new projects, or maintaining existing ones.

However, I began to realise that a large proportion of these tasks were no longer serving me.

I needed some guidance and quick!

A friend recommended Glenne Ladegaard and her Goddess Guide Coaching sessions.

For the first, I visited Glenne in her house in La Herradura, although most of her coaching is conducted via the telephone.

We began by discussing ways in which I could cut down on the time spent working on my businesses, such as

www.thesentinella.com

To advertise in The Sentinella call 664 210 468 or email sales@thesentinella.com

Life Coaching Cont... delegating, outsourcing and even smaller solutions like reducing the amount of emails I receive on a daily basis.

Glenne then presented me with her personally designed Goddess Guide Cards, which is a powerful tool to give people insight heightening their awareness of and sharpening their intuition about what's going on in their lives and what they need to change.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on choosing two cards randomly, which transpired to be the Sky Goddess and the Goddess of Thought. On the back of each card there was some inspirational messages. Glenne suggested I determine which card represented the present and which the future.

The Sky Goddess signalled that I was ready to move on to a future which was more in tune with my life mission and embrace the adventure.

The Goddess of Thought brought to my

attention the importance of choosing the right path in line with my values and beliefs and also to achieve a greater balance in my life, slow down, meet more people, make new friends and have more fun…!

During our next session via Skype Glenne helped me take practical steps to curing my pollen allergy, which is particularly bad right now, plus brought it home that I need to not only improve my Spanish, but prioritise this.

Next month we’ll be discussing values, goals and probably a whole load more…And of course I’ll share it all with you guys!

race 4 Life This year's Principle Sponsors Finca el Cerillo A lot of heart and a little ‘sole’ is all that's needed to take part in this year's major charity event. Tiptop treats are in store for all the family at Race4Life, on Sunday July 19th. With just a few weeks to go until the big day the organisation is almost complete. All you need to do is pick up your walking shoes, put a few euros in your pocket and come and join us for what will be a fabulous day out in Cómpeta.

The event has been created and co-organised by Debi Bond of Cómpeta. And following last year's hugely successful day, once again all the profits raised will be going to Cudeca cancer hospice.

This year's Race4Life is especially poignant for Debi as the whole day will be in memory of her stepfather, and all those who have lost their lives to cancer during the last year.

The big event kicks off at 11am with an Open Air Market in the newly renovated Paseo de las Tradiciones, alongside the church in the main Almirjara Plaza, Cómpeta. Stalls will include books and ceramics, jams and cakes, hats and footballs, clothes and jewellery, wine and breads, plus much more.

Around 2.30pm everyone is invited to gather outside the cemetery in Avenida de Torrox, for the official unveiling of the Race4Life Statue by the Alcalde of Cómpeta José Luis Torres Gutiérrez, accompanied by the accomplished local artist Moira Schepel. This unique piece of artwork was commissioned last year and will be the focal point of this year's event.

"The statue will be a lasting tribute to mark the achievements of everyone who took part last year, and as a fitting memorial to loved ones who are no longer with us," explained Debi.

The final part of the 2km walk culminates at the Alberdini around 3pm, a local Rural Hotel where proprietors Inez 82

and Rob will welcome everyone taking part....and it’s there the fun really starts.

There’s a kids cocktail bar and disco, treasure hunt with prize, face painting and bouncy castle. And for the adults, a well deserved welcome drink and the chance to watch, and be entertained by, a lively group of local ladies cooking a giant paella. A raffle and auction will follow (keep in touch with prize information on www.race4life.competaart.com).

A little later there will be live music from talented local group Straw Dogs, plus Remy's themed disco - all making sure the entertainment will go on into the night.

Tickets for this event are just 10€ for adults and 5€ for the under 12’s.

Don't forget, together we can make a difference. See you there!

Film review Terminator Salvation The latest chapter in the successful cyborg series sure doesn't skimp on all that heavy metal.

But while incoming director McG certainly gets a rise out of the machinery in the post-apocalyptic thriller, there's little sign of life where the flatly executed human component is concerned.

Taking place in 2018, or 14 years after the dreaded Judgment Day has occurred, "Salvation" finds armies of Skynet Terminators patrolling the bombed-out remains of the country, searching for the odd pockets of human survivors who managed to survive the blasts.

Among the living, of course, is John Connor (Bale), who despite his uncertainties seems well on his way to

becoming the official leader of the Resistance.

He's far less certain about the intentions of Marcus Wright (Australian Sam Worthington), a former death-row inmateturned-organ donor who appears willing to help him track down a teenager named Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), who of course is supposed to grow up to become John's father.

Nevertheless, the two form an uneasy alliance.

In Arnold's absence, an important ingredient of the "Terminator" iconography -namely, the fun factor -- is in short supply. Apparently sensing the deficiency, the filmmakers have found a couple of ways to pay homage, both in terms of line callbacks and through the magic of special effects.

words of wisdom Wise words mate.....

The closest I ever got to a 4.0 in college was my blood alcohol content.

I live in my own little world but it's OK, everyone knows me here.

I saw a rather large woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess'? on it. I said, "thyroid problem?"

I don't do drugs 'cause I find I get the same effect just by standing up really fast.

I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.

The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.

If life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys.

I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

Sign in Chinese pet store: "Buy one dog, get one flea..."

Shopping tip: You can get shoes for a buck at bowling alleys.

Money can't buy happiness but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

I am a nobody, nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the "terminal"?

Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

random Jokes Skinny Dipping...

An elderly man in Georgia had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back.

It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple, and peach trees .

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.

As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.

One of the 20 women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!'

The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.'

Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the alligator.

Some old men can still think fast.

----------------------------------------------------Don't know if this is just a coincidence but.... 2007 - Chinese year of the Chicken - Bird Flu Pandemic devastates parts of Asia, 2008 - Chinese year of the Horse - Equine Influenza decimates Australian racing, 2009 - Chinese year of the Pig - Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of pigs around the globe.

Has any one else noticed this?

It gets worse........ next year......

suntech Future Energies At last, a solar system that not only saves you money, but gives you money back from day one!

Technology is a wonderful thing, continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Problems create solutions, it has always been that way and will no doubt continue this way. Well Suntech Future Energies pose no exception to this rule. It has a product which solves so many energy issues it's hard to know where to start. Basically, they have a new solar system with a major difference. This system will give you hot water 365 days a year regardless of the sun conditions and it can distribute that hot water to anywhere in the building. I know what you are thinking, there are already systems out there that can do that, and I am sure there are, but the winter hot water from other systems are usually very expensive. This system will do it at a fraction of your usual winter hot water costs, and that is not all.

This system, having created your free or very cheap hot water, can now serve you with hot or cold air - yes cold air, absolutely free. That’s free or cheap hot water turned into warm or cold air distributed anywhere in your property, elim-

inating the need for expensive air conditioning...now that’s clever!

This system is suitable for domestic and commercial applications, which makes it a money saving, time saving, life improving product for your home, restaurant, cafe bar, hotel, gymnasium, health spa, beauty salon, etc.

So what about the cost I hear you say?!

Of course this kind of system requires an initial investment on your behalf, but Suntech can offer a selection of finance options*, which will actually put money back into your pocket from day one.

How? Because the monthly cost of financing such a system is less each month than the cost of your current hot water and cold air energy supplier. And that’s money in your pocket not their's.

Makes you think doesn’t it?

At last, a solar system that not only saves you money, but gives you money back from day one!

For further information please call Suntech Future Energies on: 653 152 072. Or call: 664 210 468 for information on qualifying for a 5% reduction.

Man or woman A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'

'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to com-

municate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your wages on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won!!

Land had long been considered a safe haven but with the recent boom the comparable returns with other investments meant it had become unfashionable.

However those days of extravagant city bonuses and novice property developers becoming paper millionaires are consigned to the history books.

We recently asked Christian Műller, director of Landmark Developments what he considered to be the most recession proof asset class. Not surprisingly he suggests land but this is not a plug for his land investment company, moreover his reasoning is based on sound economic principles.

“It is a cliché but they really don’t build it any more! However I would not suggest that every investor buys up tracts of land

in the hope it will increase in value. You have to be sure that there is serious development potential.”

Műller set up this company in 2006 but it was his lifetime’s expertise in global developments that led him to his first project in the UK. “I had never considered the UK before as it was a developed market with less potential for profit but it soon became clear that there was a major difference between demand and supply, especially in the South of England. Some of this was due to over pricing but there were genuine opportunities if suitable locations could be found.”

After many months of research a strategic site was acquired between Southampton and Portsmouth in a town called Fareham. The site was acquired from the Highways Agency and due to its development potential an overage clause meant the Government would be entitled to a percentage of the profits when planning permission was granted.

Beat the Crunch Cont...

“The Barker Report in 2006 showed how acute the housing shortage is in the South East which naturally attracted us to the area. In fact our research has proven to be accurate as the local council in February 2008 proposed 3 potential areas for development and I am happy to say that our site was within one of these.”

The fact that the site has development all around and a golf course to the North means it is ideally suited as a natural path for the local community’s growth.

Fareham needs to find room for 13,720 homes in the next 20 years which equates to 686 new homes each year.

This site could accommodate approximately 100 new homes on a conservative estimation. Developments of this size are not uncommon within Fareham.

There may well be a case for housing targets to be met but with builders in complete disarray how many firms could be in a position to build such a project?

Műller is fully aware of the dangers faced

by the building trade.

“This is a serious issue but despite the doom and gloom these targets need to be reached and the government have put into place initiatives to help builders.

At the end of the day demand for housing remains high, especially in this area.

The council are in the process of appraising and allocating a number of local sites and with the pound as weak as it the potential for profit is even greater” Despite the uncertainty surrounding the global economy one factor remains constant and that is further development of Fareham is inevitable and with prices starting at £3500 this vehicle should prove to be accessible to most.

aguaszago Imagine having to shower, wash dishes and prepare food using nothing but bottled water!

Well, according to the ‘experts’ that’s one of the most obvious solutions to preventing bacterial contamination from local water supplies. But it may not be the most effective, when you study the truth.

Bottled water is sold to us with the idea that it is underground spring water filtered through volcanic rock to create water full of healthy minerals.

However, in reality bottled water is taken from the ground supplies, pumped into large bottling factories before being filtered and treated with UV sterilizing units; exactly the same system that we supply and install!

Good friends, Alberto and Richard, were determined to find a cost effective solution to this problem and noticed a gap in the local market. They put their heads together and after some extensive research looking at products in China, India and America, they eventually found a high quality unit at a reasonable price in England. And so Aguaszago was born.

Their company provides high quality water treatment for domestic properties, which means you can just turn on the tap and drink pure, uncontaminated water. Aguaszago supplies and installs UV sterilization units to kill all the bacteria in water, as well as a range of water filters to eliminate the taste of bad taste and odours from town water supplies.

A possible reason for the contamination of ground water supplies is the influx of houses built in the campo, all discharging sewage into the ground. Water storage in Spain is also an issue, with large deposits above ground a breeding

92

haven for bacteria.

Back to bottled water, it is in no way environm e n t a l l y friendly. Just think of all the plastic that is used once and discarded, plus the massive cost of transport to supermarkets, and then to your home.

According to researchers storing water in plastic bottles can lead to harmful carcinogens bleeding into the water. Here is an excerpt from one of many studies on the subject: 2009 Update: A new European study published this year raises doubts about the safety of disposable water bottles, which have heretofore been regarded as safe by the FDA and other government health agencies. Researchers in Germany found evidence of a man-made estrogen-like compound leaching into water packaged in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. Such chemicals, known as "endocrine disruptors," have the potential to interfere with estrogen and other reproductive hormones in the human body. However, the authors of the study say more research is required to determine whether, or to what degree, this poses an actual health risk to humans.

I think you’ll agree that Aguazago is surely the way to go! Their units can be supplied and installed for as little as 700€ depending on a site survey.

This is a small cost to pay when considering the cost of bottled water and its negative impact on the environment. And then there’s the health implications….!

Chillow

A Chillow for everyone There are three products in the Chillow range.

The original Chillow (€30)

is perfect for use on a pillow or cushion. It is single-sided, with a wipe-clean medical-grade hypoallergenic upper surface and a soft flock backing.

The Chillow Plus (€40)

is a doubled-sided personal cooling pad that uses the same Soothsoft technology as the original Chillow. A new hydro-soothe membrane on the back allows double-sided cooling, while the improved inner core improves heat dissipation. It also comes with optional rubber pads and Velcro fixings, so that you may customise your Chillow Plus to use as a wrap for bruised or damaged limbs, allowing the cooling effect to soothe the affected area.

The Mini Chillow (€30) is ideal for all uses and great for children. As well as being an instant soother for colds, flu and headaches, it can also be kept in the fridge as a first aid compress to soothe bumps, burns and grazes.

All Chillows come with FREE delivery in the Axarquia area. Call: 951 047 904 or 664 210 468.

Alternatively, come and see us at The Country Farmer’s Market, at Trapiche on Tuesdays.

inner Peace

Our fourth anniversary party was a huge success, the food was absolutely fantastic, beautifully prepared, as usual by Angela Dent and so tasty! Every year she excels herself, we are always so pleased to have the opportunity to show off her skills.

I have finally found inner peace by following the simple advice I heard on a Medical TV show.

At our party we launched our loyalty card which gives our customers the chance to save some money on their shopping bill, we do try to give something back. Every year new friendships seem to form at the party and this year was no exception, we can never beat last year though when two relatives met up, one on holiday from Australia – without knowing that her Cousin actually lived in the area, (what are the chances of that happening?).

We had around 200 customers throughout the afternoon and a good time was had by all, some just popping in for a quick hello, whilst others stayed the course and managed the whole affair.

We would like to thank all those customers who attended old and new.

We are getting some extremely interesting new items in our Card and Gift shop, and at extremely good prices, why not call round and see them for yourself.

Linda and Geoff See main advert on pages 64 and 65

A Doctor proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started.

So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of vocka, a pockage of Prunglies, tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke an a box a chocolets.

alcohol!

Aaaahhh!

How To Avoid The flu 1) Eat right!

2) Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.

3) Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C. 4) Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system.

5) Walk for at least an hour a day..

6) Go for a swim..

7) Take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.

8) Wash your hands often.

9) If you can't wash them,keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.

10) Get lots of fresh air.

11) Open doors & windows whenever possible.

12) Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.

13) Get plenty of rest. or take the doctor's approach..

Think about it...

When you go for a flu shot, what do they do first? They Clean your arm with alcohol... Why ?

Because Alcohol KILLS GERMS. So I walk to the off licence - (exercise) I put lime in my lager - (fruit) Celery in my Bloody Mary - (veggies) Drink outdoors on the bar patio - (fresh air) Tell jokes, laugh (eliminate stress) Then pass out. (rest) The way I see it...

If you keep your alcohol levels up flu germs can't get you! My grandmother always said, 'A shot in the glass is better than one in the ass!'

---------------------------------------------------Two men were sitting at the top floor of the Empire State Building.

One man says to the other. "You know, if you jump out the window here, the force of the wind will blow you back in through the window on the 90th floor."

The other man says "leave off, you're joking aren't u?" The 1st man says "No, here I'll prove it". So he stands on the window ledge and jumps out and comes back in thru the 90th floor window.

The 2nd man says, "That was just a one off" So he does it again and comes thru on the 90th floor, runs back up and says "See, I’m telling the truth" The 2nd man says "Wow, I’m going do it then" he stands on the window ledge, jumps out and falls to his death.

The barman says to the first man,"You know, you're not nice when you're drunk Superman" ---------------------------------------------------Secrets to a perfect relationship: It is important that a woman helps you around the house and has a job.

It is important that a woman makes you laugh It is important to find a woman you can count on and who doesn’t lie to you.

It is important that a woman is good in bed and loves making love to you.

(When they're old they walk with a cane, which is the 3rd leg, and babies crawl, so they're walking with 4 legs.) 3) He just has to open his mouth and ask. He's blind, not mute, 4) The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry, 5) A chess board. The white horse = knight, The tower = rook, The priest = bishop

A rich lonely widow decided that she needed another man in her life so she placed an ad, which read something like this: Rich widow looking for man to share life and fortune... Needs to have these qualifications: 1) Won’t beat me up, 2) Won’t run away 3) Has to be great in bed. For several months, her phone rang off the hook, her doorbell was ringing constantly, she received tons of mail, etc., all to no avail: none seemed to match her qualifications. Then one day the doorbell rang yet again. She opened the door to find a man with no arms and no legs lying on the welcome mat.

Perplexed, she asked, "Who are you?

And what do you want?"

"Hi," he said, " your search is over, for I'm the man of your dreams. I've got no arms so I can't beat you up and no legs so I can't run away."

"Well, then," she said, "what makes you think that you're so great in bed?"

To which he replied,..... "Well, I rang the doorbell, didn't I? ---------------------------------------------------Old Fred had been a religious man who was in the hospital, near death. The family called their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood next to the bed, old Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write on.

The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and old Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then he died. The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.

At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realised that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when old Fred died.

He said, "You know, old Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all."

He opened the note, and read out loud, "Hey, you're standing on my oxygen tube?"
