Orange Alerts Continue With

High Temperatures Across Spain

The heat continues for many across Spain with more Orange Alerts for high temperatures welcoming the new week Temperatures could reach 40 degrees in many areas of the country according to the AEMET State Meteorological Agency

Orange alerts are in place in Menorca Gran Canaria Sevilla Coacuterdoba Jaeacuten Granada Murcia and Albacete where temperatures of 39 degrees are forecast

Yellow alerts in place in Caacutediz Huelva Badajoz Almeriacutea Ciudad Real Toledo Madrid Alicante Valencia Cuenca Teruel Zaragoza Tarragona and Lleida

There will be some showers in Galicia Cantrabria and in the northern mountains of Castilla y Leoacuten clearing later Showers moderate and possibly stormy later in the day across the east of the country

Elsewhere generally sunny although there may be some medium and high cloud in place and morning mist in some coastal areas particularly in the Strait and along the Mediterranean coast

Winds E or S along the Mediterranean but Westerly elsewhere in the mainland weak to moderate

Temperatures Highs Granada 40 Murcia 39 Santa Cruz de Tenerife 33 Alicante 32 Almeriacutea Maacutelaga Valencia 31 Caacutediz 29

Lows Almeriacutea 25 Maacutelaga Santa Cruz de Tenerife 24 Alicante Caacutediz Valencia 23 Murcia 22 Granada 21

The wildfires which have been raging across the country are now all practically under control although with continuing high temperatures the alert level remains high

The fire at Aliaga in Teruel where 8000 hectares have been affected and at Las Hurdes in Extremadura remain under close observation

The fire service remains in place at Horta de Sant Joan in Tarragona where the blaze is under control after affecting 1140 hectares

A fire next to Palma Airport on Mallorca is now also reported to be under control and another blaze allegedly started by a young French tourist between Lanjaroacuten and Lecriacuten in the Sierra Nevada National Park is now also out

Residents of 12 villages in Almeriacutea had a complicated weekend with the forest fire in the Mojacar area leading to a breakdown in the water supply distribution in the area

80000 people live in the villages a number which is much higher in the summer and they are all expected to be without water for the whole weekend with supplies hoped to be restored on Sunday

Meanwhile people who were evacuated from their homes because of the fire last Thursday afternoon are starting to return home as the fire in the Sierra de Cabrera between Turre and Mojaacutecar is brought under control 600 fire-fighters including some members of the army continued at the scene on Friday evening as the fire was considered to be stabilised

The PP Mayor of Mojacar Rosa Mariacutea Cano has called for the area to be declared a catastrophic zone saying that the fire was halted 15 metres from the first village houses However outlying cortijos orchards and some property has been destroyed at a cost which is yet to be estimated She said that she and the village were very sad at what had happened but they have to be strong and once the fire is finally completely out start the process of replanting the sierra

The water company says eight pumping stations have short circuited because of the fire and names the villages without water - until Sunday - as Hueacutercal-Overa Zurgena Vera Antas Garrucha Cuevas del Almanzora Pulpiacute Los Gallardos Arboleas Carboneras Turre and Mojaacutecar

Last Thursday night saw some 1500 residents from several urbanisations in Moacutejacar taken to two neighbouring towns to a cultural centre in Garrucha and a sports pavilion in Vera when fire broke out in the Sierra de Cabrera near Turre in the same area where a fire just last week affected 4000 hectares

The biggest concern was that the fire could move to the beach area towards the main

line of hotels and large-scale urbanisations Classified as a Level Two INFOCA fire fighters think the blaze was started deliberately given that it has several different parts The Junta de Andaluciacutea were forced to ask for help from both the Army and the Murcia region to tackle this blaze the second to affect this area in a week

Meanwhile 8 people have been arrested across the country accused of starting some of the wildfires

Two people named with the initials CMG and ST have been arrested in connection with the fires seen in March and June in Gauciacuten and Mijas in Maacutelaga province Two Romanians aged 23 and 25 have been arrested in connection with a fire started this week in Cuevas de Aylloacuten in Soria

Two people arrested in connection with the forest fire in the North of Alicante region in the Vall drsquoAlcalaacute were released late Thursday night They are builders who are thought to have started the blaze when burning empty construction sacks on Wednesday morning when working on a private property

A 55 year old resident of El Cerro de Andeacutevalo Huelva has been arrested in connection with fires in April and May in La Brintildeuela and La Corte He is thought to have started as many as five fires this year following arguments with the owners of the fincas affected

And a man was arrested on Thursday in connection with the fire in Onda Castelloacuten which was brought under control yesterday but not after 13 urbanisations had to be evacuated as a precaution

The recent fires have resulted in the death of six fire fighters Whilst no details of the sixth have yet been released the fifth victim was confirmed as a 50 year old married father of two he died in Corbalaacuten Teruel on Thursday morning when the fire truck he was driving crashed into a ravine from a forest road

With six fires still active in the province last Thursday some 1500 have been people forced from their homes by the flames and 10000 hectares destroyed Itrsquos Aragoacutenrsquos worst year for wildfire since 1994 when 30000 hectares of land were destroyed in the Maestrazgo area The largest blaze advancing on two fronts was in Aliaga where an estimated 7000 hectares had been razed

In Tarragona the fire which killed four men and seriously injured another two on Tuesday has now razed more than a thousand hectares with high temperatures and strong winds hampering efforts to bring it under control All of Cataluntildea remain on alert for risk of forest fire as was the Valencia Region

Lifeguards Rescue 13 People On

Murcia beachesSaturday was a busy day for lifeguards

watching over the beaches in Cartagena and Aacuteguilas where 13 swimmers had to be rescued after they got into difficulties in reaching the shore

Nine were pulled out of the water on Playa del Galuacutea La Manga Europa Press reports and another person rescued on Playa de la Gola was taken to hospital as a precaution after swallowing water

The strong currents in Aacuteguilas forced the lifeguards on Playa de Matalentisco to help three people out of the sea One of them who was later taken by ambulance to a health centre had entered the water to try and help the other two but then got into difficulties himself

Two Immigrant Boats Intercepted In

AndaluciacuteaThere have been more immigrant arrivals in

Andaluciacutea this weekend with boats intercepted in waters off Caacutediz and Almeriacutea

The first was in the early hours of Saturday when a boat carrying 68 passengers from Sub-Saharan Africa was located 7 miles to the west of Tarifa Caacutediz at around 7am that morning after contacting Spanish authorities for help There were 9 children on board the boat and 22 women Itrsquos understood one passenger was admitted to hospital

The five Algerian occupants of another patera located off El Ejido Almeriacutea province late on Saturday were all said to be in good health They were spotted by a Maltese ship at 1130 on Saturday night 20 miles to the south of Punta Sabinal There were no women or children on board on this occasion

The regional government in Valencia has said that it will appear against the ruling of the Valencia High Court which has thrown out their idea to give citizenship classes in the region only in English

The Valencia administration contends that the ruling makes it impossible to set up a multi-language model but the court has in effect supported the demonstrations seen in the region against the Valencia education policy The court has not banned the use of English only that the language be imposed as the only alternative

Valencia has pressed ahead with the idea of using English in the citizenship classes despite earlier experiments with a translator

joining the teacher in the classroom being considered to have been no more than a confusing failure by many

Some consider the PP has adopted the idea as another way of protesting against the content of the citizenship classes themselves

The court also has ruled against lsquoalternative optionsrsquo being offered to those who did not want to do the citizenship classes for reasons of conscious considering the regional education authority does not have the competence to offer an alternative to a class which is part of the obligatory curriculum under the current Organic Education Law

Darling To Press Banks On Lending

The UKrsquos banks have insisted that lending to small firms is continuing to rise as they prepare to meet the chancellor to discuss the issue

In its latest figures the British Bankersrsquo Association (BBA) said total lending to small companies rose pound366m in June up from Mayrsquos pound133m increase

Alistair Darling has said he is ldquoextremely concernedrdquo that banks may be charging firms too much for loans

But the BBArsquos chief executive Angela Knight denied this was the case

The chancellor who is meeting bank bosses at the Treasury this week said he was concerned that the cost of loans to small firms had risen in recent months despite the UKrsquos record low base interest rate of 05

He added that banks had a duty to restore lending levels and that the government did not rescue the banking sector ldquoout of some charitable actrdquo

Ms Knight said the banks could not lend at 05 because they had to pay much more than that for the funds they themselves borrowed in the wholesale money markets

She said the wholesale price of money was about twice the base rate

ldquoAs far as the major banks are concerned they are lending and increasing their lendingrdquo added Ms Knight

It was right that firms should be able to demonstrate that loans could be repaid before banks would lend to them she said adding that loans were assessed on a case-by-case basis and that some business plans did not stand up to scrutiny

ldquoThere will be difficult judgements at the edges and thatrsquos why itrsquos important to keep close to the [bank] manager and get that business plan rightrdquo

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken to hospital after becoming ill while jogging

Mr Sarkozyrsquos chief of staff said the president was ldquodoing wellrdquo and talking normally with medics at the military hospital

The 54-year-old president is remaining there overnight for what officials said were ldquoroutinerdquo tests

He was flown to the hospital earlier after suffering what was described as a ldquominorrdquo nerve complaint

Mr Sarkozy was taken ill while jogging during a humid afternoon at a weekend retreat at the Chateau of Versailles outside Paris

The incident occurred after 45 minutes of ldquointensive physical exerciserdquo his office said in a statement

It denied earlier statements that he had lost consciousness Mr Sarkozy lay down and received immediate treatment from a personal doctor He was flown to the Val

de Grace hospital by helicopter where he was later joined by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

A spokesman said he had also summoned aides to his bedside to keep him up to date with world events

Sources state that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a problem relating to his vagal nerve It said a condition known as vasovagal syncope could involve a brief loss of consciousness and changes in the heart rate or blood pressure especially if the person is dehydrated The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions French Member of Parliament Patrick Balkany an ally of Mr Sarkozy said everything was ldquogoing wellrdquo and blamed the problem on a diet he said the president was following to lose weight

ldquoHersquos fine Hersquos hungry Hersquos complainingrdquo he told French radio ldquoThe president is going to have to take more care work a little less hard and eat a little bit morerdquo he added

Lifeguards have been praised as heroes for saving 40 children and adults after a sandbank collapsed into the sea

Coastguards said some of the group would have died if lifeguards at Tenby Pembrokeshire had not reacted so soon One guard was already heading out to warn the 36 children and four adults when they were plunged into the water

The young people aged 10 to 20 and from many parts of Wales were on a team-building exercise and were walking backwards into the sea and singing

Dave Miller the coastguard sector manager in south Pembrokeshire said the lifeguards did a ldquosuperb jobrdquo

He said ldquoIf not for their fast response times and the methods they used at the scene lives would have been lostrdquo

The group were with an organisation called Action Camp based in Caerphilly which organises confidence-boosting breaks for youngsters from deprived areas of Wales

Senior RNLI lifeguard Adam Pitman said all 40 people thrown into the sea were in danger ldquoThey were all fully clothed so no matter how good a swimmer you are you are not going to be able to swimrdquo

Jon Johnston a senior RNLI lifeguard said the group had been spotted and he was heading out on a rescue vehicle to tell them to turn back when the sandbank collapsed

ldquoThey walked about 20-25m out and then the sandbank just shifted so they were all out of their depth within seconds It was the biggest rescue Irsquove seenrdquo

Mr Johnson continued ldquoIf the lifeguard wasnrsquot here it would have been a terrible situation there could have been lives lost But fortunately lifeguards were here we were very proactive We went to tell them to come back to shore but fortunately as we were there the sandbank shifted so we were on the spot The tide was turning which is the strongest current on the beach Itrsquos only soft sand around here so basically the sand beneath them all just shifted with the tide which caused a rip current which was dragging them back out to seardquo

He said no-one was hurt but those rescued were shocked

The last British survivor of the World War I trenches Harry Patch has died at the age of 111

Mr Patch was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70000 British soldiers died

The sole British survivor of the war is former seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Perth Australia Mr Choules who is originally from Worcestershire saw service with the Royal Navy

The Queen said she was ldquosaddenedrdquo to hear of Mr Patchrsquos death ldquoWe will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice

of his generation which will continue to serve as an example to us allrdquo

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said ldquoI had the honour of meeting Harry and I share his familyrsquos grief at the passing of a great man I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War The noblest of all the generations has left us but they will never be forgottenrdquo

A national memorial service should be held as ldquoa special commemorationrdquo of the efforts of Mr Patch and ldquoa generation of peoplerdquo who fought in World War I Mr Brown added

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

IrsquoM NOt SUre lsquoI dOrsquoBritish men find the prospect of asking

a woman to marry them almost as scary

as swimming with sharks according to a

new surveyFour out of five men were so petrified

of proposing that they preferred to

forego tradition and wait for their

girlfriends to propose to them

Of those polled over a quarter

(28) ranked swimming with

sharks as the scariest thing to

do closely followed by

23 who considered

proposing marriage

to be the most

frighteningPopping the question

ranked more terrifying

than jumping out of a

plane going for a job

interview and wearing an opposition

football shirt in the home stand

the survey was commissioned by Vue

cinemas to mark the release of smash-hit

comedy the Proposal starring Sandra

Bullock and ryan reynolds

Mark de Quervain for Vue said ldquoItrsquos

really interesting to see that most men

consider proposing almost as scary as

swimming with sharks

ldquoIt seems that art is imitating life and

like in the Proposal we are seeing

women take matters into their own

hands and at Vue wersquore receiving

more and more requests from

wannabe brides who want to

propose in our cinemasrdquo

the survey also found

that more and more

women were making

up for menrsquos fears by

choosing to pop the

question leap year or

not Over half (56) of

women polled said they

wou ld be more than happy to

propose to their boyfriend with seven

married at least once a day

BarkING Mad ndash POSSIBLyJapanese inventors have come up with a device they claim can detect how a dog is feeling from its barkthe Bowlingual Voice by Japanese toymaker takara tomy analyses a dogrsquos bark and translates the findings into human wordsthe gadget focuses on the detection

of six emotions including sadness joy and frustration alongside a repertoire of spoken phrases such as lsquoplay with mersquoBowlingual Voice will go on sale in Japan from next month and is a more technologically advanced version of a basic model launched seven years ago the gadget which will be sold initially only in Japan consists of a microphone which is placed around the

dogrsquos neck alongside a hand-held unit operating device When the dog barks the microphone records the sound and sends the data to the ownerrsquos hand-held device which then lsquotranslatesrsquo it into what the dog is apparently trying to say a speech synthesizer audibly informs the owner of the dogrsquos apparent intentions as well as appearing

on the screen of the wireless hand-held unit a new answering machine function can also record the dogrsquos expressions of desire when owners are absent

the original Bowlingual translated emotions onto a screen and was bought by more than 300000 people in Japan the new version was unveiled at the tokyo toy Fair

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

A fire next to Palma Airport on Mallorca is now also reported to be under control and another blaze allegedly started by a young French tourist between Lanjaroacuten and Lecriacuten in the Sierra Nevada National Park is now also out

Residents of 12 villages in Almeriacutea had a complicated weekend with the forest fire in the Mojacar area leading to a breakdown in the water supply distribution in the area

80000 people live in the villages a number which is much higher in the summer and they are all expected to be without water for the whole weekend with supplies hoped to be restored on Sunday

Meanwhile people who were evacuated from their homes because of the fire last Thursday afternoon are starting to return home as the fire in the Sierra de Cabrera between Turre and Mojaacutecar is brought under control 600 fire-fighters including some members of the army continued at the scene on Friday evening as the fire was considered to be stabilised

The PP Mayor of Mojacar Rosa Mariacutea Cano has called for the area to be declared a catastrophic zone saying that the fire was halted 15 metres from the first village houses However outlying cortijos orchards and some property has been destroyed at a cost which is yet to be estimated She said that she and the village were very sad at what had happened but they have to be strong and once the fire is finally completely out start the process of replanting the sierra

The water company says eight pumping stations have short circuited because of the fire and names the villages without water - until Sunday - as Hueacutercal-Overa Zurgena Vera Antas Garrucha Cuevas del Almanzora Pulpiacute Los Gallardos Arboleas Carboneras Turre and Mojaacutecar

Last Thursday night saw some 1500 residents from several urbanisations in Moacutejacar taken to two neighbouring towns to a cultural centre in Garrucha and a sports pavilion in Vera when fire broke out in the Sierra de Cabrera near Turre in the same area where a fire just last week affected 4000 hectares

The biggest concern was that the fire could move to the beach area towards the main

line of hotels and large-scale urbanisations Classified as a Level Two INFOCA fire fighters think the blaze was started deliberately given that it has several different parts The Junta de Andaluciacutea were forced to ask for help from both the Army and the Murcia region to tackle this blaze the second to affect this area in a week

Meanwhile 8 people have been arrested across the country accused of starting some of the wildfires

Two people named with the initials CMG and ST have been arrested in connection with the fires seen in March and June in Gauciacuten and Mijas in Maacutelaga province Two Romanians aged 23 and 25 have been arrested in connection with a fire started this week in Cuevas de Aylloacuten in Soria

Two people arrested in connection with the forest fire in the North of Alicante region in the Vall drsquoAlcalaacute were released late Thursday night They are builders who are thought to have started the blaze when burning empty construction sacks on Wednesday morning when working on a private property

A 55 year old resident of El Cerro de Andeacutevalo Huelva has been arrested in connection with fires in April and May in La Brintildeuela and La Corte He is thought to have started as many as five fires this year following arguments with the owners of the fincas affected

And a man was arrested on Thursday in connection with the fire in Onda Castelloacuten which was brought under control yesterday but not after 13 urbanisations had to be evacuated as a precaution

The recent fires have resulted in the death of six fire fighters Whilst no details of the sixth have yet been released the fifth victim was confirmed as a 50 year old married father of two he died in Corbalaacuten Teruel on Thursday morning when the fire truck he was driving crashed into a ravine from a forest road

With six fires still active in the province last Thursday some 1500 have been people forced from their homes by the flames and 10000 hectares destroyed Itrsquos Aragoacutenrsquos worst year for wildfire since 1994 when 30000 hectares of land were destroyed in the Maestrazgo area The largest blaze advancing on two fronts was in Aliaga where an estimated 7000 hectares had been razed

In Tarragona the fire which killed four men and seriously injured another two on Tuesday has now razed more than a thousand hectares with high temperatures and strong winds hampering efforts to bring it under control All of Cataluntildea remain on alert for risk of forest fire as was the Valencia Region

Lifeguards Rescue 13 People On

Murcia beachesSaturday was a busy day for lifeguards

watching over the beaches in Cartagena and Aacuteguilas where 13 swimmers had to be rescued after they got into difficulties in reaching the shore

Nine were pulled out of the water on Playa del Galuacutea La Manga Europa Press reports and another person rescued on Playa de la Gola was taken to hospital as a precaution after swallowing water

The strong currents in Aacuteguilas forced the lifeguards on Playa de Matalentisco to help three people out of the sea One of them who was later taken by ambulance to a health centre had entered the water to try and help the other two but then got into difficulties himself

Two Immigrant Boats Intercepted In

AndaluciacuteaThere have been more immigrant arrivals in

Andaluciacutea this weekend with boats intercepted in waters off Caacutediz and Almeriacutea

The first was in the early hours of Saturday when a boat carrying 68 passengers from Sub-Saharan Africa was located 7 miles to the west of Tarifa Caacutediz at around 7am that morning after contacting Spanish authorities for help There were 9 children on board the boat and 22 women Itrsquos understood one passenger was admitted to hospital

The five Algerian occupants of another patera located off El Ejido Almeriacutea province late on Saturday were all said to be in good health They were spotted by a Maltese ship at 1130 on Saturday night 20 miles to the south of Punta Sabinal There were no women or children on board on this occasion

The regional government in Valencia has said that it will appear against the ruling of the Valencia High Court which has thrown out their idea to give citizenship classes in the region only in English

The Valencia administration contends that the ruling makes it impossible to set up a multi-language model but the court has in effect supported the demonstrations seen in the region against the Valencia education policy The court has not banned the use of English only that the language be imposed as the only alternative

Valencia has pressed ahead with the idea of using English in the citizenship classes despite earlier experiments with a translator

joining the teacher in the classroom being considered to have been no more than a confusing failure by many

Some consider the PP has adopted the idea as another way of protesting against the content of the citizenship classes themselves

The court also has ruled against lsquoalternative optionsrsquo being offered to those who did not want to do the citizenship classes for reasons of conscious considering the regional education authority does not have the competence to offer an alternative to a class which is part of the obligatory curriculum under the current Organic Education Law

Darling To Press Banks On Lending

The UKrsquos banks have insisted that lending to small firms is continuing to rise as they prepare to meet the chancellor to discuss the issue

In its latest figures the British Bankersrsquo Association (BBA) said total lending to small companies rose pound366m in June up from Mayrsquos pound133m increase

Alistair Darling has said he is ldquoextremely concernedrdquo that banks may be charging firms too much for loans

But the BBArsquos chief executive Angela Knight denied this was the case

The chancellor who is meeting bank bosses at the Treasury this week said he was concerned that the cost of loans to small firms had risen in recent months despite the UKrsquos record low base interest rate of 05

He added that banks had a duty to restore lending levels and that the government did not rescue the banking sector ldquoout of some charitable actrdquo

Ms Knight said the banks could not lend at 05 because they had to pay much more than that for the funds they themselves borrowed in the wholesale money markets

She said the wholesale price of money was about twice the base rate

ldquoAs far as the major banks are concerned they are lending and increasing their lendingrdquo added Ms Knight

It was right that firms should be able to demonstrate that loans could be repaid before banks would lend to them she said adding that loans were assessed on a case-by-case basis and that some business plans did not stand up to scrutiny

ldquoThere will be difficult judgements at the edges and thatrsquos why itrsquos important to keep close to the [bank] manager and get that business plan rightrdquo

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken to hospital after becoming ill while jogging

Mr Sarkozyrsquos chief of staff said the president was ldquodoing wellrdquo and talking normally with medics at the military hospital

The 54-year-old president is remaining there overnight for what officials said were ldquoroutinerdquo tests

He was flown to the hospital earlier after suffering what was described as a ldquominorrdquo nerve complaint

Mr Sarkozy was taken ill while jogging during a humid afternoon at a weekend retreat at the Chateau of Versailles outside Paris

The incident occurred after 45 minutes of ldquointensive physical exerciserdquo his office said in a statement

It denied earlier statements that he had lost consciousness Mr Sarkozy lay down and received immediate treatment from a personal doctor He was flown to the Val

de Grace hospital by helicopter where he was later joined by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

A spokesman said he had also summoned aides to his bedside to keep him up to date with world events

Sources state that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a problem relating to his vagal nerve It said a condition known as vasovagal syncope could involve a brief loss of consciousness and changes in the heart rate or blood pressure especially if the person is dehydrated The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions French Member of Parliament Patrick Balkany an ally of Mr Sarkozy said everything was ldquogoing wellrdquo and blamed the problem on a diet he said the president was following to lose weight

ldquoHersquos fine Hersquos hungry Hersquos complainingrdquo he told French radio ldquoThe president is going to have to take more care work a little less hard and eat a little bit morerdquo he added

Lifeguards have been praised as heroes for saving 40 children and adults after a sandbank collapsed into the sea

Coastguards said some of the group would have died if lifeguards at Tenby Pembrokeshire had not reacted so soon One guard was already heading out to warn the 36 children and four adults when they were plunged into the water

The young people aged 10 to 20 and from many parts of Wales were on a team-building exercise and were walking backwards into the sea and singing

Dave Miller the coastguard sector manager in south Pembrokeshire said the lifeguards did a ldquosuperb jobrdquo

He said ldquoIf not for their fast response times and the methods they used at the scene lives would have been lostrdquo

The group were with an organisation called Action Camp based in Caerphilly which organises confidence-boosting breaks for youngsters from deprived areas of Wales

Senior RNLI lifeguard Adam Pitman said all 40 people thrown into the sea were in danger ldquoThey were all fully clothed so no matter how good a swimmer you are you are not going to be able to swimrdquo

Jon Johnston a senior RNLI lifeguard said the group had been spotted and he was heading out on a rescue vehicle to tell them to turn back when the sandbank collapsed

ldquoThey walked about 20-25m out and then the sandbank just shifted so they were all out of their depth within seconds It was the biggest rescue Irsquove seenrdquo

Mr Johnson continued ldquoIf the lifeguard wasnrsquot here it would have been a terrible situation there could have been lives lost But fortunately lifeguards were here we were very proactive We went to tell them to come back to shore but fortunately as we were there the sandbank shifted so we were on the spot The tide was turning which is the strongest current on the beach Itrsquos only soft sand around here so basically the sand beneath them all just shifted with the tide which caused a rip current which was dragging them back out to seardquo

He said no-one was hurt but those rescued were shocked

The last British survivor of the World War I trenches Harry Patch has died at the age of 111

Mr Patch was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70000 British soldiers died

The sole British survivor of the war is former seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Perth Australia Mr Choules who is originally from Worcestershire saw service with the Royal Navy

The Queen said she was ldquosaddenedrdquo to hear of Mr Patchrsquos death ldquoWe will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice

of his generation which will continue to serve as an example to us allrdquo

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said ldquoI had the honour of meeting Harry and I share his familyrsquos grief at the passing of a great man I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War The noblest of all the generations has left us but they will never be forgottenrdquo

A national memorial service should be held as ldquoa special commemorationrdquo of the efforts of Mr Patch and ldquoa generation of peoplerdquo who fought in World War I Mr Brown added

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

IrsquoM NOt SUre lsquoI dOrsquoBritish men find the prospect of asking

a woman to marry them almost as scary

as swimming with sharks according to a

new surveyFour out of five men were so petrified

of proposing that they preferred to

forego tradition and wait for their

girlfriends to propose to them

Of those polled over a quarter

(28) ranked swimming with

sharks as the scariest thing to

do closely followed by

23 who considered

proposing marriage

to be the most

frighteningPopping the question

ranked more terrifying

than jumping out of a

the survey was commissioned by Vue

cinemas to mark the release of smash-hit

comedy the Proposal starring Sandra

Mark de Quervain for Vue said ldquoItrsquos

ldquoIt seems that art is imitating life and

like in the Proposal we are seeing

the survey also found

that more and more

dogrsquos neck alongside a hand-held unit operating device When the dog barks the microphone records the sound and sends the data to the ownerrsquos hand-held device which then lsquotranslatesrsquo it into what the dog is apparently trying to say a speech synthesizer audibly informs the owner of the dogrsquos apparent intentions as well as appearing

on the screen of the wireless hand-held unit a new answering machine function can also record the dogrsquos expressions of desire when owners are absent

the original Bowlingual translated emotions onto a screen and was bought by more than 300000 people in Japan the new version was unveiled at the tokyo toy Fair

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

Serums are like bullet-proof vests that protect newborn cells from damage Skin gains a radiance you get only from nourished cells think of serums as magic knickers for skin Now therersquos an uplifting notion

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

The heat continues for many across Spain with more Orange Alerts for high temperatures welcoming the new week Temperatures could reach 40 degrees in many areas of the country according to the AEMET State Meteorological Agency

Orange alerts are in place in Menorca Gran Canaria Sevilla Coacuterdoba Jaeacuten Granada Murcia and Albacete where temperatures of 39 degrees are forecast

Yellow alerts in place in Caacutediz Huelva Badajoz Almeriacutea Ciudad Real Toledo Madrid Alicante Valencia Cuenca Teruel Zaragoza Tarragona and Lleida

There will be some showers in Galicia Cantrabria and in the northern mountains of Castilla y Leoacuten clearing later Showers moderate and possibly stormy later in the day across the east of the country

Elsewhere generally sunny although there may be some medium and high cloud in place and morning mist in some coastal areas particularly in the Strait and along the Mediterranean coast

Winds E or S along the Mediterranean but Westerly elsewhere in the mainland weak to moderate

Temperatures Highs Granada 40 Murcia 39 Santa Cruz de Tenerife 33 Alicante 32 Almeriacutea Maacutelaga Valencia 31 Caacutediz 29

Lows Almeriacutea 25 Maacutelaga Santa Cruz de Tenerife 24 Alicante Caacutediz Valencia 23 Murcia 22 Granada 21

The wildfires which have been raging across the country are now all practically under control although with continuing high temperatures the alert level remains high

The fire at Aliaga in Teruel where 8000 hectares have been affected and at Las Hurdes in Extremadura remain under close observation

The fire service remains in place at Horta de Sant Joan in Tarragona where the blaze is under control after affecting 1140 hectares

A fire next to Palma Airport on Mallorca is now also reported to be under control and another blaze allegedly started by a young French tourist between Lanjaroacuten and Lecriacuten in the Sierra Nevada National Park is now also out

Residents of 12 villages in Almeriacutea had a complicated weekend with the forest fire in the Mojacar area leading to a breakdown in the water supply distribution in the area

80000 people live in the villages a number which is much higher in the summer and they are all expected to be without water for the whole weekend with supplies hoped to be restored on Sunday

Meanwhile people who were evacuated from their homes because of the fire last Thursday afternoon are starting to return home as the fire in the Sierra de Cabrera between Turre and Mojaacutecar is brought under control 600 fire-fighters including some members of the army continued at the scene on Friday evening as the fire was considered to be stabilised

The PP Mayor of Mojacar Rosa Mariacutea Cano has called for the area to be declared a catastrophic zone saying that the fire was halted 15 metres from the first village houses However outlying cortijos orchards and some property has been destroyed at a cost which is yet to be estimated She said that she and the village were very sad at what had happened but they have to be strong and once the fire is finally completely out start the process of replanting the sierra

The water company says eight pumping stations have short circuited because of the fire and names the villages without water - until Sunday - as Hueacutercal-Overa Zurgena Vera Antas Garrucha Cuevas del Almanzora Pulpiacute Los Gallardos Arboleas Carboneras Turre and Mojaacutecar

Last Thursday night saw some 1500 residents from several urbanisations in Moacutejacar taken to two neighbouring towns to a cultural centre in Garrucha and a sports pavilion in Vera when fire broke out in the Sierra de Cabrera near Turre in the same area where a fire just last week affected 4000 hectares

The biggest concern was that the fire could move to the beach area towards the main

line of hotels and large-scale urbanisations Classified as a Level Two INFOCA fire fighters think the blaze was started deliberately given that it has several different parts The Junta de Andaluciacutea were forced to ask for help from both the Army and the Murcia region to tackle this blaze the second to affect this area in a week

Meanwhile 8 people have been arrested across the country accused of starting some of the wildfires

Two people named with the initials CMG and ST have been arrested in connection with the fires seen in March and June in Gauciacuten and Mijas in Maacutelaga province Two Romanians aged 23 and 25 have been arrested in connection with a fire started this week in Cuevas de Aylloacuten in Soria

Two people arrested in connection with the forest fire in the North of Alicante region in the Vall drsquoAlcalaacute were released late Thursday night They are builders who are thought to have started the blaze when burning empty construction sacks on Wednesday morning when working on a private property

A 55 year old resident of El Cerro de Andeacutevalo Huelva has been arrested in connection with fires in April and May in La Brintildeuela and La Corte He is thought to have started as many as five fires this year following arguments with the owners of the fincas affected

And a man was arrested on Thursday in connection with the fire in Onda Castelloacuten which was brought under control yesterday but not after 13 urbanisations had to be evacuated as a precaution

The recent fires have resulted in the death of six fire fighters Whilst no details of the sixth have yet been released the fifth victim was confirmed as a 50 year old married father of two he died in Corbalaacuten Teruel on Thursday morning when the fire truck he was driving crashed into a ravine from a forest road

With six fires still active in the province last Thursday some 1500 have been people forced from their homes by the flames and 10000 hectares destroyed Itrsquos Aragoacutenrsquos worst year for wildfire since 1994 when 30000 hectares of land were destroyed in the Maestrazgo area The largest blaze advancing on two fronts was in Aliaga where an estimated 7000 hectares had been razed

In Tarragona the fire which killed four men and seriously injured another two on Tuesday has now razed more than a thousand hectares with high temperatures and strong winds hampering efforts to bring it under control All of Cataluntildea remain on alert for risk of forest fire as was the Valencia Region

Lifeguards Rescue 13 People On

Murcia beachesSaturday was a busy day for lifeguards

watching over the beaches in Cartagena and Aacuteguilas where 13 swimmers had to be rescued after they got into difficulties in reaching the shore

Nine were pulled out of the water on Playa del Galuacutea La Manga Europa Press reports and another person rescued on Playa de la Gola was taken to hospital as a precaution after swallowing water

The strong currents in Aacuteguilas forced the lifeguards on Playa de Matalentisco to help three people out of the sea One of them who was later taken by ambulance to a health centre had entered the water to try and help the other two but then got into difficulties himself

Two Immigrant Boats Intercepted In

AndaluciacuteaThere have been more immigrant arrivals in

Andaluciacutea this weekend with boats intercepted in waters off Caacutediz and Almeriacutea

The first was in the early hours of Saturday when a boat carrying 68 passengers from Sub-Saharan Africa was located 7 miles to the west of Tarifa Caacutediz at around 7am that morning after contacting Spanish authorities for help There were 9 children on board the boat and 22 women Itrsquos understood one passenger was admitted to hospital

The five Algerian occupants of another patera located off El Ejido Almeriacutea province late on Saturday were all said to be in good health They were spotted by a Maltese ship at 1130 on Saturday night 20 miles to the south of Punta Sabinal There were no women or children on board on this occasion

The regional government in Valencia has said that it will appear against the ruling of the Valencia High Court which has thrown out their idea to give citizenship classes in the region only in English

The Valencia administration contends that the ruling makes it impossible to set up a multi-language model but the court has in effect supported the demonstrations seen in the region against the Valencia education policy The court has not banned the use of English only that the language be imposed as the only alternative

Valencia has pressed ahead with the idea of using English in the citizenship classes despite earlier experiments with a translator

joining the teacher in the classroom being considered to have been no more than a confusing failure by many

Some consider the PP has adopted the idea as another way of protesting against the content of the citizenship classes themselves

The court also has ruled against lsquoalternative optionsrsquo being offered to those who did not want to do the citizenship classes for reasons of conscious considering the regional education authority does not have the competence to offer an alternative to a class which is part of the obligatory curriculum under the current Organic Education Law

Valencia Court Throws Out Citizenship Classes In English

The Spanish Government has announced a 1 billion euro plan to promote tourism in what is the third extension of the Plan Renove tourism plan proposed by Joseacute Luis Rodriacuteguez Zapatero

Under the name Plan Futur-E 500 million euro will be spent helping companies which promote sustainable energy and tourism while the remaining 500 million will be given to projects financed by the ICO Official Credit Institute 100 million has been earmarked for the Canaries and announced already

Darling To Press Banks On Lending

The UKrsquos banks have insisted that lending to small firms is continuing to rise as they prepare to meet the chancellor to discuss the issue

In its latest figures the British Bankersrsquo Association (BBA) said total lending to small companies rose pound366m in June up from Mayrsquos pound133m increase

Alistair Darling has said he is ldquoextremely concernedrdquo that banks may be charging firms too much for loans

But the BBArsquos chief executive Angela Knight denied this was the case

The chancellor who is meeting bank bosses at the Treasury this week said he was concerned that the cost of loans to small firms had risen in recent months despite the UKrsquos record low base interest rate of 05

He added that banks had a duty to restore lending levels and that the government did not rescue the banking sector ldquoout of some charitable actrdquo

Ms Knight said the banks could not lend at 05 because they had to pay much more than that for the funds they themselves borrowed in the wholesale money markets

She said the wholesale price of money was about twice the base rate

ldquoAs far as the major banks are concerned they are lending and increasing their lendingrdquo added Ms Knight

It was right that firms should be able to demonstrate that loans could be repaid before banks would lend to them she said adding that loans were assessed on a case-by-case basis and that some business plans did not stand up to scrutiny

ldquoThere will be difficult judgements at the edges and thatrsquos why itrsquos important to keep close to the [bank] manager and get that business plan rightrdquo

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken to hospital after becoming ill while jogging

Mr Sarkozyrsquos chief of staff said the president was ldquodoing wellrdquo and talking normally with medics at the military hospital

The 54-year-old president is remaining there overnight for what officials said were ldquoroutinerdquo tests

He was flown to the hospital earlier after suffering what was described as a ldquominorrdquo nerve complaint

Mr Sarkozy was taken ill while jogging during a humid afternoon at a weekend retreat at the Chateau of Versailles outside Paris

The incident occurred after 45 minutes of ldquointensive physical exerciserdquo his office said in a statement

It denied earlier statements that he had lost consciousness Mr Sarkozy lay down and received immediate treatment from a personal doctor He was flown to the Val

de Grace hospital by helicopter where he was later joined by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

A spokesman said he had also summoned aides to his bedside to keep him up to date with world events

Sources state that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a problem relating to his vagal nerve It said a condition known as vasovagal syncope could involve a brief loss of consciousness and changes in the heart rate or blood pressure especially if the person is dehydrated The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions French Member of Parliament Patrick Balkany an ally of Mr Sarkozy said everything was ldquogoing wellrdquo and blamed the problem on a diet he said the president was following to lose weight

ldquoHersquos fine Hersquos hungry Hersquos complainingrdquo he told French radio ldquoThe president is going to have to take more care work a little less hard and eat a little bit morerdquo he added

Sarkozy Falls Ill While Jogging lsquoHeroesrsquo Hailed For Beach Rescue

Lifeguards have been praised as heroes for saving 40 children and adults after a sandbank collapsed into the sea

Coastguards said some of the group would have died if lifeguards at Tenby Pembrokeshire had not reacted so soon One guard was already heading out to warn the 36 children and four adults when they were plunged into the water

The young people aged 10 to 20 and from many parts of Wales were on a team-building exercise and were walking backwards into the sea and singing

Dave Miller the coastguard sector manager in south Pembrokeshire said the lifeguards did a ldquosuperb jobrdquo

He said ldquoIf not for their fast response times and the methods they used at the scene lives would have been lostrdquo

The group were with an organisation called Action Camp based in Caerphilly which organises confidence-boosting breaks for youngsters from deprived areas of Wales

Senior RNLI lifeguard Adam Pitman said all 40 people thrown into the sea were in danger ldquoThey were all fully clothed so no matter how good a swimmer you are you are not going to be able to swimrdquo

Jon Johnston a senior RNLI lifeguard said the group had been spotted and he was heading out on a rescue vehicle to tell them to turn back when the sandbank collapsed

ldquoThey walked about 20-25m out and then the sandbank just shifted so they were all out of their depth within seconds It was the biggest rescue Irsquove seenrdquo

Mr Johnson continued ldquoIf the lifeguard wasnrsquot here it would have been a terrible situation there could have been lives lost But fortunately lifeguards were here we were very proactive We went to tell them to come back to shore but fortunately as we were there the sandbank shifted so we were on the spot The tide was turning which is the strongest current on the beach Itrsquos only soft sand around here so basically the sand beneath them all just shifted with the tide which caused a rip current which was dragging them back out to seardquo

He said no-one was hurt but those rescued were shocked

The last British survivor of the World War I trenches Harry Patch has died at the age of 111

Mr Patch was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70000 British soldiers died

The sole British survivor of the war is former seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Perth Australia Mr Choules who is originally from Worcestershire saw service with the Royal Navy

The Queen said she was ldquosaddenedrdquo to hear of Mr Patchrsquos death ldquoWe will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice

of his generation which will continue to serve as an example to us allrdquo

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said ldquoI had the honour of meeting Harry and I share his familyrsquos grief at the passing of a great man I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War The noblest of all the generations has left us but they will never be forgottenrdquo

A national memorial service should be held as ldquoa special commemorationrdquo of the efforts of Mr Patch and ldquoa generation of peoplerdquo who fought in World War I Mr Brown added

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

IrsquoM NOt SUre lsquoI dOrsquoBritish men find the prospect of asking

a woman to marry them almost as scary

as swimming with sharks according to a

new surveyFour out of five men were so petrified

of proposing that they preferred to

forego tradition and wait for their

girlfriends to propose to them

Of those polled over a quarter

(28) ranked swimming with

sharks as the scariest thing to

do closely followed by

23 who considered

proposing marriage

to be the most

frighteningPopping the question

ranked more terrifying

than jumping out of a

interview and wearing an opposition

the survey was commissioned by Vue

cinemas to mark the release of smash-hit

comedy the Proposal starring Sandra

Bullock and ryan reynolds

Mark de Quervain for Vue said ldquoItrsquos

really interesting to see that most men

consider proposing almost as scary as

ldquoIt seems that art is imitating life and

like in the Proposal we are seeing

women take matters into their own

hands and at Vue wersquore receiving

more and more requests from

the survey also found

that more and more

BarkING Mad ndash POSSIBLyJapanese inventors have come up with a device they claim can detect how a dog is feeling from its barkthe Bowlingual Voice by Japanese toymaker takara tomy analyses a dogrsquos bark and translates the findings into human wordsthe gadget focuses on the detection

of six emotions including sadness joy and frustration alongside a repertoire of spoken phrases such as lsquoplay with mersquoBowlingual Voice will go on sale in Japan from next month and is a more technologically advanced version of a basic model launched seven years ago the gadget which will be sold initially only in Japan consists of a microphone which is placed around the

dogrsquos neck alongside a hand-held unit operating device When the dog barks the microphone records the sound and sends the data to the ownerrsquos hand-held device which then lsquotranslatesrsquo it into what the dog is apparently trying to say a speech synthesizer audibly informs the owner of the dogrsquos apparent intentions as well as appearing

on the screen of the wireless hand-held unit a new answering machine function can also record the dogrsquos expressions of desire when owners are absent

the original Bowlingual translated emotions onto a screen and was bought by more than 300000 people in Japan the new version was unveiled at the tokyo toy Fair

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

So until I go blonde again Irsquom modelling myself on Boadicea

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

There is digniTy in suffering nobiliTy in pain buT failure is a salTed wound ThaT burns amp burns again

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Checkout Mojacarrsquos weather and sea conditions here on the beachcomberrsquos webcam wwwalmeriafreeadscomwebcam

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Lifeguards Rescue 13 People On

Murcia beachesSaturday was a busy day for lifeguards

watching over the beaches in Cartagena and Aacuteguilas where 13 swimmers had to be rescued after they got into difficulties in reaching the shore

Nine were pulled out of the water on Playa del Galuacutea La Manga Europa Press reports and another person rescued on Playa de la Gola was taken to hospital as a precaution after swallowing water

The strong currents in Aacuteguilas forced the lifeguards on Playa de Matalentisco to help three people out of the sea One of them who was later taken by ambulance to a health centre had entered the water to try and help the other two but then got into difficulties himself

Two Immigrant Boats Intercepted In

AndaluciacuteaThere have been more immigrant arrivals in

The first was in the early hours of Saturday when a boat carrying 68 passengers from Sub-Saharan Africa was located 7 miles to the west of Tarifa Caacutediz at around 7am that morning after contacting Spanish authorities for help There were 9 children on board the boat and 22 women Itrsquos understood one passenger was admitted to hospital

The five Algerian occupants of another patera located off El Ejido Almeriacutea province late on Saturday were all said to be in good health They were spotted by a Maltese ship at 1130 on Saturday night 20 miles to the south of Punta Sabinal There were no women or children on board on this occasion

The regional government in Valencia has said that it will appear against the ruling of the Valencia High Court which has thrown out their idea to give citizenship classes in the region only in English

The Valencia administration contends that the ruling makes it impossible to set up a multi-language model but the court has in effect supported the demonstrations seen in the region against the Valencia education policy The court has not banned the use of English only that the language be imposed as the only alternative

Valencia has pressed ahead with the idea of using English in the citizenship classes despite earlier experiments with a translator

joining the teacher in the classroom being considered to have been no more than a confusing failure by many

Some consider the PP has adopted the idea as another way of protesting against the content of the citizenship classes themselves

The court also has ruled against lsquoalternative optionsrsquo being offered to those who did not want to do the citizenship classes for reasons of conscious considering the regional education authority does not have the competence to offer an alternative to a class which is part of the obligatory curriculum under the current Organic Education Law

Darling To Press Banks On Lending

The UKrsquos banks have insisted that lending to small firms is continuing to rise as they prepare to meet the chancellor to discuss the issue

In its latest figures the British Bankersrsquo Association (BBA) said total lending to small companies rose pound366m in June up from Mayrsquos pound133m increase

Alistair Darling has said he is ldquoextremely concernedrdquo that banks may be charging firms too much for loans

But the BBArsquos chief executive Angela Knight denied this was the case

The chancellor who is meeting bank bosses at the Treasury this week said he was concerned that the cost of loans to small firms had risen in recent months despite the UKrsquos record low base interest rate of 05

He added that banks had a duty to restore lending levels and that the government did not rescue the banking sector ldquoout of some charitable actrdquo

Ms Knight said the banks could not lend at 05 because they had to pay much more than that for the funds they themselves borrowed in the wholesale money markets

She said the wholesale price of money was about twice the base rate

ldquoAs far as the major banks are concerned they are lending and increasing their lendingrdquo added Ms Knight

It was right that firms should be able to demonstrate that loans could be repaid before banks would lend to them she said adding that loans were assessed on a case-by-case basis and that some business plans did not stand up to scrutiny

ldquoThere will be difficult judgements at the edges and thatrsquos why itrsquos important to keep close to the [bank] manager and get that business plan rightrdquo

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken to hospital after becoming ill while jogging

Mr Sarkozyrsquos chief of staff said the president was ldquodoing wellrdquo and talking normally with medics at the military hospital

The 54-year-old president is remaining there overnight for what officials said were ldquoroutinerdquo tests

He was flown to the hospital earlier after suffering what was described as a ldquominorrdquo nerve complaint

Mr Sarkozy was taken ill while jogging during a humid afternoon at a weekend retreat at the Chateau of Versailles outside Paris

The incident occurred after 45 minutes of ldquointensive physical exerciserdquo his office said in a statement

It denied earlier statements that he had lost consciousness Mr Sarkozy lay down and received immediate treatment from a personal doctor He was flown to the Val

de Grace hospital by helicopter where he was later joined by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

A spokesman said he had also summoned aides to his bedside to keep him up to date with world events

Sources state that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a problem relating to his vagal nerve It said a condition known as vasovagal syncope could involve a brief loss of consciousness and changes in the heart rate or blood pressure especially if the person is dehydrated The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions French Member of Parliament Patrick Balkany an ally of Mr Sarkozy said everything was ldquogoing wellrdquo and blamed the problem on a diet he said the president was following to lose weight

ldquoHersquos fine Hersquos hungry Hersquos complainingrdquo he told French radio ldquoThe president is going to have to take more care work a little less hard and eat a little bit morerdquo he added

Lifeguards have been praised as heroes for saving 40 children and adults after a sandbank collapsed into the sea

Coastguards said some of the group would have died if lifeguards at Tenby Pembrokeshire had not reacted so soon One guard was already heading out to warn the 36 children and four adults when they were plunged into the water

The young people aged 10 to 20 and from many parts of Wales were on a team-building exercise and were walking backwards into the sea and singing

Dave Miller the coastguard sector manager in south Pembrokeshire said the lifeguards did a ldquosuperb jobrdquo

He said ldquoIf not for their fast response times and the methods they used at the scene lives would have been lostrdquo

The group were with an organisation called Action Camp based in Caerphilly which organises confidence-boosting breaks for youngsters from deprived areas of Wales

Senior RNLI lifeguard Adam Pitman said all 40 people thrown into the sea were in danger ldquoThey were all fully clothed so no matter how good a swimmer you are you are not going to be able to swimrdquo

Jon Johnston a senior RNLI lifeguard said the group had been spotted and he was heading out on a rescue vehicle to tell them to turn back when the sandbank collapsed

ldquoThey walked about 20-25m out and then the sandbank just shifted so they were all out of their depth within seconds It was the biggest rescue Irsquove seenrdquo

Mr Johnson continued ldquoIf the lifeguard wasnrsquot here it would have been a terrible situation there could have been lives lost But fortunately lifeguards were here we were very proactive We went to tell them to come back to shore but fortunately as we were there the sandbank shifted so we were on the spot The tide was turning which is the strongest current on the beach Itrsquos only soft sand around here so basically the sand beneath them all just shifted with the tide which caused a rip current which was dragging them back out to seardquo

He said no-one was hurt but those rescued were shocked

The last British survivor of the World War I trenches Harry Patch has died at the age of 111

Mr Patch was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70000 British soldiers died

The sole British survivor of the war is former seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Perth Australia Mr Choules who is originally from Worcestershire saw service with the Royal Navy

The Queen said she was ldquosaddenedrdquo to hear of Mr Patchrsquos death ldquoWe will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice

of his generation which will continue to serve as an example to us allrdquo

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said ldquoI had the honour of meeting Harry and I share his familyrsquos grief at the passing of a great man I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War The noblest of all the generations has left us but they will never be forgottenrdquo

A national memorial service should be held as ldquoa special commemorationrdquo of the efforts of Mr Patch and ldquoa generation of peoplerdquo who fought in World War I Mr Brown added

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

IrsquoM NOt SUre lsquoI dOrsquoBritish men find the prospect of asking

a woman to marry them almost as scary

as swimming with sharks according to a

new surveyFour out of five men were so petrified

of proposing that they preferred to

forego tradition and wait for their

girlfriends to propose to them

Of those polled over a quarter

(28) ranked swimming with

sharks as the scariest thing to

do closely followed by

23 who considered

proposing marriage

to be the most

frighteningPopping the question

ranked more terrifying

than jumping out of a

plane going for a job

interview and wearing an opposition

football shirt in the home stand

the survey was commissioned by Vue

cinemas to mark the release of smash-hit

comedy the Proposal starring Sandra

Bullock and ryan reynolds

Mark de Quervain for Vue said ldquoItrsquos

really interesting to see that most men

consider proposing almost as scary as

swimming with sharks

ldquoIt seems that art is imitating life and

like in the Proposal we are seeing

women take matters into their own

hands and at Vue wersquore receiving

more and more requests from

wannabe brides who want to

propose in our cinemasrdquo

the survey also found

that more and more

women were making

up for menrsquos fears by

choosing to pop the

question leap year or

not Over half (56) of

women polled said they

wou ld be more than happy to

propose to their boyfriend with seven

in ten women day-dreaming of getting

married at least once a day

BarkING Mad ndash POSSIBLyJapanese inventors have come up with a device they claim can detect how a dog is feeling from its barkthe Bowlingual Voice by Japanese toymaker takara tomy analyses a dogrsquos bark and translates the findings into human wordsthe gadget focuses on the detection

of six emotions including sadness joy and frustration alongside a repertoire of spoken phrases such as lsquoplay with mersquoBowlingual Voice will go on sale in Japan from next month and is a more technologically advanced version of a basic model launched seven years ago the gadget which will be sold initially only in Japan consists of a microphone which is placed around the

dogrsquos neck alongside a hand-held unit operating device When the dog barks the microphone records the sound and sends the data to the ownerrsquos hand-held device which then lsquotranslatesrsquo it into what the dog is apparently trying to say a speech synthesizer audibly informs the owner of the dogrsquos apparent intentions as well as appearing

on the screen of the wireless hand-held unit a new answering machine function can also record the dogrsquos expressions of desire when owners are absent

the original Bowlingual translated emotions onto a screen and was bought by more than 300000 people in Japan the new version was unveiled at the tokyo toy Fair

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Lifeguards Rescue 13 People On

Murcia beachesSaturday was a busy day for lifeguards

watching over the beaches in Cartagena and Aacuteguilas where 13 swimmers had to be rescued after they got into difficulties in reaching the shore

Nine were pulled out of the water on Playa del Galuacutea La Manga Europa Press reports and another person rescued on Playa de la Gola was taken to hospital as a precaution after swallowing water

The strong currents in Aacuteguilas forced the lifeguards on Playa de Matalentisco to help three people out of the sea One of them who was later taken by ambulance to a health centre had entered the water to try and help the other two but then got into difficulties himself

Two Immigrant Boats Intercepted In

AndaluciacuteaThere have been more immigrant arrivals in

The first was in the early hours of Saturday when a boat carrying 68 passengers from Sub-Saharan Africa was located 7 miles to the west of Tarifa Caacutediz at around 7am that morning after contacting Spanish authorities for help There were 9 children on board the boat and 22 women Itrsquos understood one passenger was admitted to hospital

The five Algerian occupants of another patera located off El Ejido Almeriacutea province late on Saturday were all said to be in good health They were spotted by a Maltese ship at 1130 on Saturday night 20 miles to the south of Punta Sabinal There were no women or children on board on this occasion

The regional government in Valencia has said that it will appear against the ruling of the Valencia High Court which has thrown out their idea to give citizenship classes in the region only in English

The Valencia administration contends that the ruling makes it impossible to set up a multi-language model but the court has in effect supported the demonstrations seen in the region against the Valencia education policy The court has not banned the use of English only that the language be imposed as the only alternative

Valencia has pressed ahead with the idea of using English in the citizenship classes despite earlier experiments with a translator

joining the teacher in the classroom being considered to have been no more than a confusing failure by many

Some consider the PP has adopted the idea as another way of protesting against the content of the citizenship classes themselves

The court also has ruled against lsquoalternative optionsrsquo being offered to those who did not want to do the citizenship classes for reasons of conscious considering the regional education authority does not have the competence to offer an alternative to a class which is part of the obligatory curriculum under the current Organic Education Law

Darling To Press Banks On Lending

The UKrsquos banks have insisted that lending to small firms is continuing to rise as they prepare to meet the chancellor to discuss the issue

In its latest figures the British Bankersrsquo Association (BBA) said total lending to small companies rose pound366m in June up from Mayrsquos pound133m increase

Alistair Darling has said he is ldquoextremely concernedrdquo that banks may be charging firms too much for loans

But the BBArsquos chief executive Angela Knight denied this was the case

The chancellor who is meeting bank bosses at the Treasury this week said he was concerned that the cost of loans to small firms had risen in recent months despite the UKrsquos record low base interest rate of 05

He added that banks had a duty to restore lending levels and that the government did not rescue the banking sector ldquoout of some charitable actrdquo

Ms Knight said the banks could not lend at 05 because they had to pay much more than that for the funds they themselves borrowed in the wholesale money markets

She said the wholesale price of money was about twice the base rate

ldquoAs far as the major banks are concerned they are lending and increasing their lendingrdquo added Ms Knight

It was right that firms should be able to demonstrate that loans could be repaid before banks would lend to them she said adding that loans were assessed on a case-by-case basis and that some business plans did not stand up to scrutiny

ldquoThere will be difficult judgements at the edges and thatrsquos why itrsquos important to keep close to the [bank] manager and get that business plan rightrdquo

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken to hospital after becoming ill while jogging

Mr Sarkozyrsquos chief of staff said the president was ldquodoing wellrdquo and talking normally with medics at the military hospital

The 54-year-old president is remaining there overnight for what officials said were ldquoroutinerdquo tests

He was flown to the hospital earlier after suffering what was described as a ldquominorrdquo nerve complaint

Mr Sarkozy was taken ill while jogging during a humid afternoon at a weekend retreat at the Chateau of Versailles outside Paris

The incident occurred after 45 minutes of ldquointensive physical exerciserdquo his office said in a statement

It denied earlier statements that he had lost consciousness Mr Sarkozy lay down and received immediate treatment from a personal doctor He was flown to the Val

de Grace hospital by helicopter where he was later joined by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

A spokesman said he had also summoned aides to his bedside to keep him up to date with world events

Sources state that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a problem relating to his vagal nerve It said a condition known as vasovagal syncope could involve a brief loss of consciousness and changes in the heart rate or blood pressure especially if the person is dehydrated The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions French Member of Parliament Patrick Balkany an ally of Mr Sarkozy said everything was ldquogoing wellrdquo and blamed the problem on a diet he said the president was following to lose weight

ldquoHersquos fine Hersquos hungry Hersquos complainingrdquo he told French radio ldquoThe president is going to have to take more care work a little less hard and eat a little bit morerdquo he added

Sarkozy Falls Ill While Jogging lsquoHeroesrsquo Hailed For Beach Rescue

Lifeguards have been praised as heroes for saving 40 children and adults after a sandbank collapsed into the sea

Coastguards said some of the group would have died if lifeguards at Tenby Pembrokeshire had not reacted so soon One guard was already heading out to warn the 36 children and four adults when they were plunged into the water

The young people aged 10 to 20 and from many parts of Wales were on a team-building exercise and were walking backwards into the sea and singing

Dave Miller the coastguard sector manager in south Pembrokeshire said the lifeguards did a ldquosuperb jobrdquo

He said ldquoIf not for their fast response times and the methods they used at the scene lives would have been lostrdquo

The group were with an organisation called Action Camp based in Caerphilly which organises confidence-boosting breaks for youngsters from deprived areas of Wales

Senior RNLI lifeguard Adam Pitman said all 40 people thrown into the sea were in danger ldquoThey were all fully clothed so no matter how good a swimmer you are you are not going to be able to swimrdquo

Jon Johnston a senior RNLI lifeguard said the group had been spotted and he was heading out on a rescue vehicle to tell them to turn back when the sandbank collapsed

ldquoThey walked about 20-25m out and then the sandbank just shifted so they were all out of their depth within seconds It was the biggest rescue Irsquove seenrdquo

Mr Johnson continued ldquoIf the lifeguard wasnrsquot here it would have been a terrible situation there could have been lives lost But fortunately lifeguards were here we were very proactive We went to tell them to come back to shore but fortunately as we were there the sandbank shifted so we were on the spot The tide was turning which is the strongest current on the beach Itrsquos only soft sand around here so basically the sand beneath them all just shifted with the tide which caused a rip current which was dragging them back out to seardquo

He said no-one was hurt but those rescued were shocked

The last British survivor of the World War I trenches Harry Patch has died at the age of 111

Mr Patch was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70000 British soldiers died

The sole British survivor of the war is former seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Perth Australia Mr Choules who is originally from Worcestershire saw service with the Royal Navy

The Queen said she was ldquosaddenedrdquo to hear of Mr Patchrsquos death ldquoWe will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice

of his generation which will continue to serve as an example to us allrdquo

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said ldquoI had the honour of meeting Harry and I share his familyrsquos grief at the passing of a great man I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War The noblest of all the generations has left us but they will never be forgottenrdquo

A national memorial service should be held as ldquoa special commemorationrdquo of the efforts of Mr Patch and ldquoa generation of peoplerdquo who fought in World War I Mr Brown added

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

IrsquoM NOt SUre lsquoI dOrsquoBritish men find the prospect of asking

a woman to marry them almost as scary

as swimming with sharks according to a

new surveyFour out of five men were so petrified

of proposing that they preferred to

forego tradition and wait for their

girlfriends to propose to them

Of those polled over a quarter

(28) ranked swimming with

sharks as the scariest thing to

do closely followed by

23 who considered

proposing marriage

to be the most

frighteningPopping the question

ranked more terrifying

than jumping out of a

plane going for a job

interview and wearing an opposition

football shirt in the home stand

the survey was commissioned by Vue

cinemas to mark the release of smash-hit

comedy the Proposal starring Sandra

Bullock and ryan reynolds

Mark de Quervain for Vue said ldquoItrsquos

really interesting to see that most men

consider proposing almost as scary as

swimming with sharks

ldquoIt seems that art is imitating life and

like in the Proposal we are seeing

women take matters into their own

hands and at Vue wersquore receiving

more and more requests from

wannabe brides who want to

propose in our cinemasrdquo

the survey also found

that more and more

women were making

up for menrsquos fears by

choosing to pop the

question leap year or

not Over half (56) of

women polled said they

wou ld be more than happy to

propose to their boyfriend with seven

in ten women day-dreaming of getting

married at least once a day

BarkING Mad ndash POSSIBLyJapanese inventors have come up with a device they claim can detect how a dog is feeling from its barkthe Bowlingual Voice by Japanese toymaker takara tomy analyses a dogrsquos bark and translates the findings into human wordsthe gadget focuses on the detection

of six emotions including sadness joy and frustration alongside a repertoire of spoken phrases such as lsquoplay with mersquoBowlingual Voice will go on sale in Japan from next month and is a more technologically advanced version of a basic model launched seven years ago the gadget which will be sold initially only in Japan consists of a microphone which is placed around the

dogrsquos neck alongside a hand-held unit operating device When the dog barks the microphone records the sound and sends the data to the ownerrsquos hand-held device which then lsquotranslatesrsquo it into what the dog is apparently trying to say a speech synthesizer audibly informs the owner of the dogrsquos apparent intentions as well as appearing

on the screen of the wireless hand-held unit a new answering machine function can also record the dogrsquos expressions of desire when owners are absent

the original Bowlingual translated emotions onto a screen and was bought by more than 300000 people in Japan the new version was unveiled at the tokyo toy Fair

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

So until I go blonde again Irsquom modelling myself on Boadicea

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Darling To Press Banks On Lending

The UKrsquos banks have insisted that lending to small firms is continuing to rise as they prepare to meet the chancellor to discuss the issue

In its latest figures the British Bankersrsquo Association (BBA) said total lending to small companies rose pound366m in June up from Mayrsquos pound133m increase

Alistair Darling has said he is ldquoextremely concernedrdquo that banks may be charging firms too much for loans

But the BBArsquos chief executive Angela Knight denied this was the case

The chancellor who is meeting bank bosses at the Treasury this week said he was concerned that the cost of loans to small firms had risen in recent months despite the UKrsquos record low base interest rate of 05

He added that banks had a duty to restore lending levels and that the government did not rescue the banking sector ldquoout of some charitable actrdquo

Ms Knight said the banks could not lend at 05 because they had to pay much more than that for the funds they themselves borrowed in the wholesale money markets

She said the wholesale price of money was about twice the base rate

ldquoAs far as the major banks are concerned they are lending and increasing their lendingrdquo added Ms Knight

It was right that firms should be able to demonstrate that loans could be repaid before banks would lend to them she said adding that loans were assessed on a case-by-case basis and that some business plans did not stand up to scrutiny

ldquoThere will be difficult judgements at the edges and thatrsquos why itrsquos important to keep close to the [bank] manager and get that business plan rightrdquo

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken to hospital after becoming ill while jogging

Mr Sarkozyrsquos chief of staff said the president was ldquodoing wellrdquo and talking normally with medics at the military hospital

The 54-year-old president is remaining there overnight for what officials said were ldquoroutinerdquo tests

He was flown to the hospital earlier after suffering what was described as a ldquominorrdquo nerve complaint

Mr Sarkozy was taken ill while jogging during a humid afternoon at a weekend retreat at the Chateau of Versailles outside Paris

The incident occurred after 45 minutes of ldquointensive physical exerciserdquo his office said in a statement

It denied earlier statements that he had lost consciousness Mr Sarkozy lay down and received immediate treatment from a personal doctor He was flown to the Val

de Grace hospital by helicopter where he was later joined by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

A spokesman said he had also summoned aides to his bedside to keep him up to date with world events

Sources state that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a problem relating to his vagal nerve It said a condition known as vasovagal syncope could involve a brief loss of consciousness and changes in the heart rate or blood pressure especially if the person is dehydrated The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions French Member of Parliament Patrick Balkany an ally of Mr Sarkozy said everything was ldquogoing wellrdquo and blamed the problem on a diet he said the president was following to lose weight

ldquoHersquos fine Hersquos hungry Hersquos complainingrdquo he told French radio ldquoThe president is going to have to take more care work a little less hard and eat a little bit morerdquo he added

Sarkozy Falls Ill While Jogging lsquoHeroesrsquo Hailed For Beach Rescue

Lifeguards have been praised as heroes for saving 40 children and adults after a sandbank collapsed into the sea

Coastguards said some of the group would have died if lifeguards at Tenby Pembrokeshire had not reacted so soon One guard was already heading out to warn the 36 children and four adults when they were plunged into the water

The young people aged 10 to 20 and from many parts of Wales were on a team-building exercise and were walking backwards into the sea and singing

Dave Miller the coastguard sector manager in south Pembrokeshire said the lifeguards did a ldquosuperb jobrdquo

He said ldquoIf not for their fast response times and the methods they used at the scene lives would have been lostrdquo

The group were with an organisation called Action Camp based in Caerphilly which organises confidence-boosting breaks for youngsters from deprived areas of Wales

Senior RNLI lifeguard Adam Pitman said all 40 people thrown into the sea were in danger ldquoThey were all fully clothed so no matter how good a swimmer you are you are not going to be able to swimrdquo

Jon Johnston a senior RNLI lifeguard said the group had been spotted and he was heading out on a rescue vehicle to tell them to turn back when the sandbank collapsed

ldquoThey walked about 20-25m out and then the sandbank just shifted so they were all out of their depth within seconds It was the biggest rescue Irsquove seenrdquo

Mr Johnson continued ldquoIf the lifeguard wasnrsquot here it would have been a terrible situation there could have been lives lost But fortunately lifeguards were here we were very proactive We went to tell them to come back to shore but fortunately as we were there the sandbank shifted so we were on the spot The tide was turning which is the strongest current on the beach Itrsquos only soft sand around here so basically the sand beneath them all just shifted with the tide which caused a rip current which was dragging them back out to seardquo

He said no-one was hurt but those rescued were shocked

The last British survivor of the World War I trenches Harry Patch has died at the age of 111

Mr Patch was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70000 British soldiers died

The sole British survivor of the war is former seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Perth Australia Mr Choules who is originally from Worcestershire saw service with the Royal Navy

The Queen said she was ldquosaddenedrdquo to hear of Mr Patchrsquos death ldquoWe will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice

of his generation which will continue to serve as an example to us allrdquo

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said ldquoI had the honour of meeting Harry and I share his familyrsquos grief at the passing of a great man I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War The noblest of all the generations has left us but they will never be forgottenrdquo

A national memorial service should be held as ldquoa special commemorationrdquo of the efforts of Mr Patch and ldquoa generation of peoplerdquo who fought in World War I Mr Brown added

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

a woman to marry them almost as scary

as swimming with sharks according to a

new surveyFour out of five men were so petrified

of proposing that they preferred to

Of those polled over a quarter

the survey was commissioned by Vue

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Checkout Mojacarrsquos weather and sea conditions here on the beachcomberrsquos webcam wwwalmeriafreeadscomwebcam

For further information on any of the above or to find out about beach boat or coarse fishing licenses see me at the beachcomber bar Restaurant on Mojacar Playa or call 950 473 099 In case of difficulty reaching me (probably out fishing) ask staff for my mobile number

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Darling To Press Banks On Lending

The UKrsquos banks have insisted that lending to small firms is continuing to rise as they prepare to meet the chancellor to discuss the issue

In its latest figures the British Bankersrsquo Association (BBA) said total lending to small companies rose pound366m in June up from Mayrsquos pound133m increase

Alistair Darling has said he is ldquoextremely concernedrdquo that banks may be charging firms too much for loans

But the BBArsquos chief executive Angela Knight denied this was the case

The chancellor who is meeting bank bosses at the Treasury this week said he was concerned that the cost of loans to small firms had risen in recent months despite the UKrsquos record low base interest rate of 05

He added that banks had a duty to restore lending levels and that the government did not rescue the banking sector ldquoout of some charitable actrdquo

Ms Knight said the banks could not lend at 05 because they had to pay much more than that for the funds they themselves borrowed in the wholesale money markets

She said the wholesale price of money was about twice the base rate

ldquoAs far as the major banks are concerned they are lending and increasing their lendingrdquo added Ms Knight

It was right that firms should be able to demonstrate that loans could be repaid before banks would lend to them she said adding that loans were assessed on a case-by-case basis and that some business plans did not stand up to scrutiny

ldquoThere will be difficult judgements at the edges and thatrsquos why itrsquos important to keep close to the [bank] manager and get that business plan rightrdquo

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been taken to hospital after becoming ill while jogging

Mr Sarkozyrsquos chief of staff said the president was ldquodoing wellrdquo and talking normally with medics at the military hospital

The 54-year-old president is remaining there overnight for what officials said were ldquoroutinerdquo tests

He was flown to the hospital earlier after suffering what was described as a ldquominorrdquo nerve complaint

Mr Sarkozy was taken ill while jogging during a humid afternoon at a weekend retreat at the Chateau of Versailles outside Paris

The incident occurred after 45 minutes of ldquointensive physical exerciserdquo his office said in a statement

It denied earlier statements that he had lost consciousness Mr Sarkozy lay down and received immediate treatment from a personal doctor He was flown to the Val

de Grace hospital by helicopter where he was later joined by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

A spokesman said he had also summoned aides to his bedside to keep him up to date with world events

Sources state that Mr Sarkozy had suffered a problem relating to his vagal nerve It said a condition known as vasovagal syncope could involve a brief loss of consciousness and changes in the heart rate or blood pressure especially if the person is dehydrated The vagal nerve is a major nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain and controls many functions French Member of Parliament Patrick Balkany an ally of Mr Sarkozy said everything was ldquogoing wellrdquo and blamed the problem on a diet he said the president was following to lose weight

ldquoHersquos fine Hersquos hungry Hersquos complainingrdquo he told French radio ldquoThe president is going to have to take more care work a little less hard and eat a little bit morerdquo he added

Lifeguards have been praised as heroes for saving 40 children and adults after a sandbank collapsed into the sea

Coastguards said some of the group would have died if lifeguards at Tenby Pembrokeshire had not reacted so soon One guard was already heading out to warn the 36 children and four adults when they were plunged into the water

The young people aged 10 to 20 and from many parts of Wales were on a team-building exercise and were walking backwards into the sea and singing

Dave Miller the coastguard sector manager in south Pembrokeshire said the lifeguards did a ldquosuperb jobrdquo

He said ldquoIf not for their fast response times and the methods they used at the scene lives would have been lostrdquo

The group were with an organisation called Action Camp based in Caerphilly which organises confidence-boosting breaks for youngsters from deprived areas of Wales

Senior RNLI lifeguard Adam Pitman said all 40 people thrown into the sea were in danger ldquoThey were all fully clothed so no matter how good a swimmer you are you are not going to be able to swimrdquo

Jon Johnston a senior RNLI lifeguard said the group had been spotted and he was heading out on a rescue vehicle to tell them to turn back when the sandbank collapsed

ldquoThey walked about 20-25m out and then the sandbank just shifted so they were all out of their depth within seconds It was the biggest rescue Irsquove seenrdquo

Mr Johnson continued ldquoIf the lifeguard wasnrsquot here it would have been a terrible situation there could have been lives lost But fortunately lifeguards were here we were very proactive We went to tell them to come back to shore but fortunately as we were there the sandbank shifted so we were on the spot The tide was turning which is the strongest current on the beach Itrsquos only soft sand around here so basically the sand beneath them all just shifted with the tide which caused a rip current which was dragging them back out to seardquo

He said no-one was hurt but those rescued were shocked

The last British survivor of the World War I trenches Harry Patch has died at the age of 111

Mr Patch was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70000 British soldiers died

The sole British survivor of the war is former seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Perth Australia Mr Choules who is originally from Worcestershire saw service with the Royal Navy

The Queen said she was ldquosaddenedrdquo to hear of Mr Patchrsquos death ldquoWe will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice

of his generation which will continue to serve as an example to us allrdquo

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said ldquoI had the honour of meeting Harry and I share his familyrsquos grief at the passing of a great man I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War The noblest of all the generations has left us but they will never be forgottenrdquo

A national memorial service should be held as ldquoa special commemorationrdquo of the efforts of Mr Patch and ldquoa generation of peoplerdquo who fought in World War I Mr Brown added

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

Serums are like bullet-proof vests that protect newborn cells from damage Skin gains a radiance you get only from nourished cells think of serums as magic knickers for skin Now therersquos an uplifting notion

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

IrsquoM NOt SUre lsquoI dOrsquoBritish men find the prospect of asking

a woman to marry them almost as scary

as swimming with sharks according to a

new surveyFour out of five men were so petrified

of proposing that they preferred to

forego tradition and wait for their

girlfriends to propose to them

Of those polled over a quarter

(28) ranked swimming with

sharks as the scariest thing to

do closely followed by

23 who considered

proposing marriage

to be the most

frighteningPopping the question

ranked more terrifying

than jumping out of a

plane going for a job

interview and wearing an opposition

football shirt in the home stand

the survey was commissioned by Vue

cinemas to mark the release of smash-hit

comedy the Proposal starring Sandra

Bullock and ryan reynolds

Mark de Quervain for Vue said ldquoItrsquos

really interesting to see that most men

consider proposing almost as scary as

swimming with sharks

ldquoIt seems that art is imitating life and

like in the Proposal we are seeing

women take matters into their own

hands and at Vue wersquore receiving

more and more requests from

wannabe brides who want to

propose in our cinemasrdquo

the survey also found

that more and more

women were making

up for menrsquos fears by

choosing to pop the

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

There is digniTy in suffering nobiliTy in pain buT failure is a salTed wound ThaT burns amp burns again

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

I SaId It FIrSta British scientist claims he came up with Neil armstrongrsquos historic ldquoone small step for manrdquo Moon landing phraseGary Peach 73 feared the first words after the apollo 11 touchdown might have been unsuitable He said ldquoI thought being americans they might say something like lsquoHoly st Look at all that dustrsquoldquoI felt that would not be a suitable thing to be quoted in history books until eternityrdquo

Gary was at a space tracking station in australia in 1969 as the apollo 11 mission was preparing to blast off He was asked his opinion about what should be said

by the first person to walk on the MoonGary suggested ldquoOne small step for a man one giant leap for mankindrdquoan american at the base passed on the idea to Nasarsquos mission control in the US and armstrong went on to use the words on July 20 1969Gary a grandfather from Newbury Berks added ldquoI heard what he said but I just got on with my jobrdquoBut armstrong famously forgot to say the ldquoardquo He said later he hoped history would ldquogrant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand it was certainly intended even if it was not saidrdquo

the survey was commissioned by Vue

Mark de Quervain for Vue said ldquoItrsquos

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

So until I go blonde again Irsquom modelling myself on Boadicea

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

So until I go blonde again Irsquom modelling myself on Boadicea

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

The floor of the Valley is almost 300 feet below sea level (at Badwater basin) and it is recognised as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and one of the hottest places on earth 134degF was recorded in 1913 second only to the 136degF registered in Libya in 1936 From the top of the 11049 foot Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range Mountains the floor of the Valley spreads out almost 2 miles below bearing the rather grim name of lsquoDeath Valleyrsquo

All the great divisions of geological time the eras and most of their subdivisions are represented in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley

These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earthrsquos crust - vast depositions contortions tiltings alternate risings and lowerings faultings and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks

Climate too has played its part In recent geological time powerful forces of water wind and gravity have sculptured much of the scenery that you see today

In the harsh environment of the floor of Death Valley plants and animals must inexorably adapt and specialize - or perish The average yearly rainfall here is less than 2 inches

Plants that do not grow near springs pools or other permanent water have developed specialized means to obtain and preserve water or have adapted to quick growth and propagation through maximum use of the scant rains that fall upon them

Between the valley floor and the mountain ridges plant communities change in response to higher elevations that have lower temperatures more rainfall and snow Small animals in the dry valley through largely dependent upon plants for survival have made special adaptations that enable them to live on very little water Larger animals are able to seek out water and predators

obtain some water from the bodies of their victims

The long hot summer - from May through October - is only for the hardy and venturesome Many of the side roads from the valley are closed during this season but you will find the higher and cooler Panamint Mountains quite comfortable

Evidence of the presence of man through hundred of years is found in almost every part of the valley Rock drawings campsites and foot trails remain as traces of the pre-historic hunters and gatherers

The long history started of prospecting and mining in the Valley when pioneer wagons with the first white men entered the valley on Christmas Day 1849 (the ldquoForty-Ninersrdquo) the area was inhabited by Panamint Indians They were ill-advised emigrants looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California As hardships increased the wagon train separated into smaller groups such as the Jayhawkers and the Bennet-Arcane party each with its own theory of escape

This date marked the beginning of the turbulent modern history of Death Valley and its mountains with a invasion of prospectors and miners seeking to exploit deposits of silver and other precious metals There were only 18 survivors out of the original party of 30 few of the dreams of the prospectors came true yet there was some spectacular exceptions and in these lie many an interesting Death Valley story

In 1933 a presidential proclamation set aside a reservation of 2980 sq miles of desert land as a National Monument thereby assuring its continued use for public enjoyment Today human presence is represented mainly by the annual half-million visitors drawn by the vastness of mountain panoramas the pleasure of the winter climate and the lure of frontier life

It is only every 6-8 weeks that I remember that the blonde that I appear to be is not the blonde that I am When this happens I hasten to Mercadona and pick up the box on the extreme right of the selection of hair colourants on offer This particular day I picked up the box on the right in blissful unawareness that Mercadona had changed the order of the boxes

As usual I mixed it thinking lsquothis looks a bit orangersquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

So until I go blonde again Irsquom modelling myself on Boadicea

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

There is digniTy in suffering nobiliTy in pain buT failure is a salTed wound ThaT burns amp burns again

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Pete spread it lsquoItrsquos very orangersquo he remarked Usually it is an unpromising mouldy grey how this transmutes into blonde is to me a chemical mystery I just trust that I go into the shower with a head that is the same colour as an old mop but emerge as a revitalised blonde

In my way to the shower I caught a glance in the mirror It was very orange Never mind itrsquoll wash out OK

I came out from the shower and looked in the mirror to confirm my blondeness only to see that Irsquod been well and truly Tangorsquod

Pete passed no comment other than to ask how soon it would be before I could re-colour it

Going a different colour is supposed to be a life-enhancing experience Going an unexpected different colour is not life-enhancing itrsquos a shock As I gazed I tried desperately to think

of the many beautiful andor famous people whose crowning glory leant towards ginger There are many but I was not one of them ndash flame is not my colour

If you should see me around please donrsquot point the finger and laugh Boadicea Queen of the Icene was a redhead and nobody not even the all-conquering Romans laughed at her Mind you she did have body armour two sturdy horses and a chariot with knives sticking out of the wheels

So until I go blonde again Irsquom modelling myself on Boadicea

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

research indicates that the toucan uses its enormous beak to stay cool using infrared cameras the researchers were able to show the bird dumping heat from its body into its bill helping it to regulate its body temperature

the toucan has the largest bill of any bird relative to body size making up about one-third of its total body lengththe oversize appendage has received many different interpretations Charles darwin thought it might be used to attract mates more recent ideas centre on fruit peeling nest predation and visual warnings

to investigate further a team of researchers looked at the toco toucan (ramphastos toco) which has the biggest bill of all the toucans

dr Glenn tattersall the lead author of the paper from Brock university Canada said ldquoWe used infrared thermal imaging technology to assess the surface temperature of the bill of toucans while they were encountering a range of air temperatures from 10C to 35C this allowed us to measure the exact temperature of the billrdquo

the scientists found that as the surroundings got warmer the toucanrsquos bill would rapidly heat up effectively acting as a radiator to draw heat away from the birdrsquos body allowing it to stay cool

Conversely in cooler temperatures little heat would radiate from the bill letting the bird conserve its warmth

the effect was particularly evident at night at sunset the birds would in a matter of minutes pump out heat from their beaks lowering their body temperature as they slept

The birdsrsquo bills have a network of

blood vessels that can increase or

restrict the flow of blood

dr tattersall said ldquoBy a l t e r i n g blood flow to the billrsquos s u r f a c e toucans can c o n s e r v e body heat

when it is cold or cope with

heat stress by increasing blood

flow Essentially the large surface area

of the bill and the fact it is not insulated means that the

blood flowing through is able to release heat into the bill thus cooling the bird this blood-derived heat in the bill is then dissipated into the airrdquo

effeCtive radiatorSother animals also use parts of their

bodies to regulate temperature for example elephants and rabbits radiate heat from their ears to cool down But the sheer size of the toucanrsquos bill means that relatively it has one of the largest ldquothermal windowsrdquo in the animal kingdom

the study also shows that the toucan is extremely effective at controlling its body heat with it its bill can account for as much as 100 of body heat loss or as little as 5 if the blood flow is shut off

Dr Tattersall explained ldquoBird bills are not lsquodead tissuesrsquo incapable of playing a role in heat balance but are active contributors to thermoregulationrdquo

He added ldquoBirds do not sweat so must cope with other mechanisms to deal with elevated temperaturesrdquo

The researchers say that the finding that the toucan uses its beak to regulate body temperature does not rule out its other suggested functions

the team now plans to look at other birds to see how their bills are involved with temperature regulation

Hot Secret Behind toucanrsquos Bill

for centuries scientists have puzzled over why the toucanrsquos bill is so remarkably large - but now one team

thinks it might have an answer

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

There is digniTy in suffering nobiliTy in pain buT failure is a salTed wound ThaT burns amp burns again

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis Cartilage (connective tissue) between the bones gradually wastes away (degenerates) and this can lead to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints It may

also cause joints to fall out of their natural positions (misalignment) the most frequently affected joints

are in the hands spine knees and hips

Also known as inflammatory arthritis rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe but

less common condition the bodyrsquos immune system attacks and

destroys the joint causing pain and swelling It

can lead to reduction of movement

and the breakdown

of bone

and cartilage there are over 200 forms of arthritis More common forms include Ankylosing spondylitis Cervical spondylitis Fibromyalgia systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus) Gout Psoriatic arthritis and Reiterrsquos syndrome

Arthritis is often associated with older people but it can also affect children About one in 1000 children develop arthritis arthritis in children is often called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

SymptomS

the main symptoms of all forms of arthritis include stiffness pain restricted movements of the joints swelling and warmth and redness of the skin over the joint

oSteoarthritiS Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are between

40-60 years of age Osteoarthritis becomes more common with age with around 12 of people over 65 affected by the condition

Osteoarthritis begins slowly with pain stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joints For some slight stiffness is all that is experienced but other people go on to have cracking or creaking joints (crepitation) knobbly bone

growths (especially on the hands) and joints that move out of alignment the pain and loss of movement tends to

worsen as the day goes on as the joints are used more

rheumatoid arthritiS

Rheumatoid arthritis affects between 1-3 of the population and often starts between 30-50 years

of age Women are three times more likely to be affected by rheumatoid arthritis than men

Like osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis begins gradually with the first symptoms often being felt in small joints such as fingers or toes the condition can then progress to cause pain swelling and stiffness of other joints causing a lack of mobility Cold and damp weather may aggravate the symptoms which are often worse in the morning however your symptoms may improve during the day as you start using and flexing your joints Rheumatoid arthritis can also sometimes leave people feeling generally unwell and tired

the cause of osteoarthritis is not fully known One theory is that some people are genetically predisposed to developing the disease but this has not yet been proven

Factors that may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis include obesity which puts added strain on

joints jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements of a particular joint or previous damage to the joint such as from a sports injury

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a fault in the immune system that makes the body to attack its own tissues this may be inherited genetically (passed on from a family member)

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Have you experimented with new versions of lsquoyoursquo and your life yet I hope you have had fun The idea is to reinvent yourself and your life as you want it ndash be the person you are meant to be live the life and look the part

Family and friends can be a valuable source of feedback on the lsquooldrsquo you if they can be trusted to be totally honest ndash and if you can bear to hear the truth Ask them how they see you ndash what image are you giving to the world at the moment

Is this how you want to be seen

Ask them for help and ideas Get them involved At the very least they will be reassured that there is a reason for your unusual behaviour ndash you havenrsquot completely lost the plot You are changing the plot to suit the wonderful new you and your amazing new life

now you may think that you have a lifetime to do this so you can put off reinventing yourself until the children have left home you have retired got a promotionhelliphellipthink again

so many people have died before they achieved their dreams because they put them off believing there would always be more time they died with their song still inside them

Why would you want to spend another moment living a life that is less than you want and deserve

Why would you want to spend another moment being a person who is not a true

reflection of the authentic you inside

You are unique

Give yourself and the world the benefit of the person you are meant to be

next time we will begin looking at how what you wear affects how you feel and how others perceive you now you have new beliefs inside you want to express this new confidence in the outside by dressing the part

GOAL SETTING fOR SuccESSpART 14 by SuE cOuRTNEy

Many people happily plod their way through life as if they are on automatic pilot without giving a thought to the direction in which they are heading Other people feel like they are swimming in treacle ndash putting in super-human effort getting nowhere and being dragged down by the weight they have to bear Other people seem to be really lucky in that they are focussed and seem to easily find solutions to most things that come their way

Strange isnrsquot it how different people can view and ultimately deal with the same situation in diverse ways So who is right and who is wrong The simple answer is probably that the solution they find is right for them

Have you ever had a brain-wave an idea that could be life changing spotting an enormous gap in the market that could bring enormous business success and potential wealth but were reluctant to put it into practice

Why do some people seem to have focus and single-mindedly follow it and gain success There are many candidate answers but to find the right solution for you it can be helpful to look backwards before you can move forwards Are you confident and positive about your abilities Do you get excited about new ideas Can you build a plan of how you will get from point A to point B If not why not

Could it be something to do with what you have learned or how you have learned It can be argued that the educational system has let many people down because usually it is paid for by the state and historically schools were set up to educate people to be useful members of societyhellip and what is it desirable for those members of society achieve Thatrsquos right - lots of profit for the heads of society For many people who attended a state school their options upon leaving were limited because they were educated to work within industry and not to lead it

Why educate children with the confidence and skills required to lead if it is financially rewarding for you to educate a work force that are programmed to follow It is natural to follow well worn paths - the route of least resistance ndash we learn through repetition until a process is automatic and then we continue to repeat because we donrsquot have to think about it There are reasons though to stop

following the same well trodden path ndash

bull The path may be blockedbull The path may no longer be necessarybull There may be a better path to followIf you think of a familiar path in terms of

mental ability ndash such as writing or signing your name once you have learned to write you practice and practice because itrsquos necessary to write your name on your work so that the teacher knows who has produced it Your name and indeed your style of writing has a familiar pattern to it your brain uses a familiar pathway ndash the neural pathways control the muscles and nerves in your eyes and your arm and hand until you reach a recognisable outcome

This ability becomes so familiar and as you progress through to adulthood your signature becomes unique to you as this behaviour has become a well trodden pathhellip the only reason for a change in this case is that there may sometime in the future be a better path to follow hellip if you sign your name frequently you may streamline to make the process faster

Have you tried to change your handwriting to write consistently in another style You will find that a difficult task because of the strength of the neural pathway The same can be said for any kind of change that you want to make in your life

However a structural approach is necessary as often you have to move backwards before you can move forwards Once the pathway has been uncovered very often all that is required to facilitate a monumental change to take place in part of your life for example a relationship issue or a habit or addiction to be broken is to make a very subtle change to the pathway It could be as simple (as Milton Erikson once did) as prescribing the couple to quarrel only in the bath ndash the silliness of splashing water and being told they had to quarrel resolved the behaviour

The key to successful treatment is in unlocking the path of a number of incidents so that a structure can be found Often simply using counselling or psycho-therapy to discuss the issue with the client will not uncover the whole path of events so it is desirable to use regression under hypnosis to uncover the whole path Once the cause is found the effect is treated

There is digniTy in suffering nobiliTy in pain buT failure is a salTed wound ThaT burns amp burns again

CORTINAS CON ESTILO ldquoTHE STORE THAT COMES TO YOUR DOORrdquo

Your garden is ready for everyone to see and you are very proud of all the hard work that has gone in to making it just the way you wanted

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper

top the piece of watermelon with a slice of mozzarella and season with a little more salt and freshly ground black pepper

Fold the sides of the pancetta over the mozzarella to create a parcel leaving each end of the watermelon exposed

Repeat the above until you have 12 parcels in total heat a frying pan until hot then add the parcels three or four at a time depending on the size of your pan

Fry on each side until the pancetta is crisp and golden-brown - take care not to overcook because you donrsquot want to melt the mozzarella Remove the parcels from the pan drain on kitchen paper and keep warm Repeat with the remaining parcels

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

You invite your friends over for a drink or two and dinner later on to show off your carefully decorated garden Drinks are over and dinner is served too but not one word of praise for the garden from any one of them You get

frustrated and you are wondering all along what could have possibly gone wrong Before blaming your friends for not noticing anything different stop and think Is it because itrsquos not good enough for praise or they simply havenrsquot noticed it because the lighting was so bad that they couldnrsquot really differentiate between your earlier garden and the garden now

If you are one of the above then

it is about time you illuminate your garden in the right way and using all the right lights After all a garden looks more captivating when illuminated in the dark

Commonly used lights

Some of the commonly used lights in the garden are incandescent light that is very bright but uses a lot of power While illuminating a tree people use flood lights or spot lights They again are powerful but consume a lot of energy 12 volt halogen lights are also used But all of these have disadvantages the more these lights are used the more transformers are required and the globes constantly need replacing

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes

The advance of technology has led to the invention of the LEDs or the Light Emitting Diodes that is becoming increasingly popular everywhere The LEDs are basically lights that are used in the mobile phones and the computer They are long lasting and give a nice effect in the garden when used They are very different

from the normal lights they do not have the traditional filament but are made up of electrons Due to this they give a very soft and subtle effect and they donrsquot burn out soon

Types of LEDs

Barrel LEDs They are ideal for illuminating a garden

art The light is put on the art piece that shines and casts a shadow behind They

can also be put on the trunk of a palm tree

LED Button Lights These lights are water resistant

and hence can be used in water features They can also be put along a path to show the way or along a border for an illuminated effect

Solar Garden Lights Available in aluminium and stainless steel they come in amber or white light As they are solar lights they do not use any power and saves

electricity They get completely charged during the day and as the sun sets they light up automatically and are on throughout the night As a result these bulbs last for years

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Serums sound serious and maybe a touch extreme - especially those that promise to mimic Botox But forget needles and scary procedures This time wersquore talking strictly skincare - the only commitment required is to finish the bottle

While moisturisers work from the outside in serums work from the inside out Richer creams are designed to stay in the skinrsquos surface layers forming a barrier against UV damage and moisture loss Because serums are more fluid they penetrate more deeply nourishing new cells and encouraging stronger collagen and elastin

The concentrated formulas mean serums are skincarersquos most potent anti-ageing weapons - hence the high price tags The boffins at LrsquoOreacuteal are proud that at six times the strength of the day cream their breakthrough Age Perfect serum for menopausal skin is their most active anti-sagging agent to date

Yet serums canrsquot do everything they canrsquot treat dry skin the way creams do but then creams canrsquot give you that instant lift For serious anti-ageing itrsquos serums every time

HOW sHOuld We use seruMUse a serum under day or night cream to

allow the ingredients to penetrate If your skin is oily theyrsquore great smoothing bases for make-up but make sure your foundation has an SPF - serums are too lightweight to support big-molecule sunscreens

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often forgotten is insuring the property

If you purchase with a mortgage the bank will normally sell you their own policy Will it be one that you understand Or will it be one that provides the cover you want

If you purchase without a mortgage it is surprising how many people forget about insuring their home The excitement of everything takes over and it is not until a later date that you realise you have not insured your home normally the biggest investment that you make in your life

If you are new to the area and are still becoming familiar with everything it is usual for most people to ask others who or where they should go to for insurance What better place to go than one that is recommended

However during these conversations you may be told unless you have reja bars (security grills) on your windows and doors you will not be able to get insurance If you do not have the full escritura (deeds for the property) you cannot get insurance but is this correct

The simple answer to get correct information and the insurance that suits your needs is to speak to the people who special in the industry

Following the implementation and changes to the regulations of selling insurance you

will find companies selling insurance are only able to offer you one policy from the company that they are tied to Is this really going to offer you the best product or with Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd as a broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK a range of policies that will suit what you want what you are used to having (back in the UK) and just as important the policies will be in English with names that you will recognise

Therefore whilst looking around for your home insurance if you are given a quotation and you are told it includes everything Ask for the quotation in writing and a copy of the policy wording bring it along to Lloyd amp Whyte International Ltd we will be able to check to see if it does cover everything As some cover that you are used to being included in a policy back in the UK is not included here in Spain ie All Risks Personal Possessions cover for loss of personal effects away from the home or subsidence These may be key parts to what you require

HOMe InsuranCeWHO Can HaVe It

You move to a new country purchase your new home the one thing that is often

forgotten is insuring the property

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Sterling is the big loser overnight in the markets and it is on the ropes this morning again Recently we have witnessed a consistent pattern of steady gains followed by a sharp sell off The pound has retraced to 163 against the USD and 115 against the euro the 115 level is a crucial support on GBPEUR and a break below 115 will be worrying for the pound So what is causing this renewed weakness for the pound

Initially the rot was started with the confirmation that Junersquos public sector net borrowing came in at pound13 billion the figures were actually better than expected but still underlined the dire state of public finances and understandably focused attention as to how we can climb out of this debt Cue feedback from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (nIESR) which said that government finances will remain deeply in the red for at least 4 years and this is based on the Treasury tightening the crews on public spending to a higher degree than plannedhellipso a tighter reign on spending and inevitable tax rises is on the menu beyond the next election- very appetizing Sterling has suffered on this negativity as it does on any scent of bad news a couple of articles also added to pressure on the pound- the first reported in the Financial Times highlighting a survey that more than half of businesses did not see any improvement in their prospects

for at least another 12 months The second through the Telegraph noted that Barclays and RBS will need billions more in capital if they are to continue growing their investment banks

Ben Bernankersquos semi-annual testimony to congress affirmed that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to tighten monetary policy due to the fragility of the US economy He aimed to soothe those worried on inflation rising sharply by adding that the extraordinary policy measures would be withdrawn in a smooth and timely manner So no exit strategy or focus on raising interest rates in the near term and the energy is still definitively on nurturing a sustained economic recovery The USD firmed on the back of the cautious note by Bernanke

The Bank Of England minutes just released offered no surprises with a vote of 9-0 to keep rates on hold and to maintain QE levels at pound125 billion Slightly sterling supportive as the minutes noted a reduction in the downside risks on GDP

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Checkout Mojacarrsquos weather and sea conditions here on the beachcomberrsquos webcam wwwalmeriafreeadscomwebcam

For further information on any of the above or to find out about beach boat or coarse fishing licenses see me at the beachcomber bar Restaurant on Mojacar Playa or call 950 473 099 In case of difficulty reaching me (probably out fishing) ask staff for my mobile number

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

questIOn I planted far too many tomato plants this year as they were cheap and now have a glut of them Apart from making

chutney what can I do with the ripe ones Even the neighbours are turning them down now

ansWer Why not try and sun-dry them In the sort of sunshine we get here itrsquos really easy to do

Slice tomatoes in half even the small cherry ones Place them on an old sheet placed on top of some sort of screen skin side down and spreading them out sorsquos they donrsquot touch Sprinkle lightly with salt which will dry them out quicker but is optional if you donrsquot like salt

Cover the whole lot with an old clean net curtain or horticultural f leece if you have it to keep off any insects or birds and making sure it doesnrsquot touch the fruit using a cage I use the sort of folding net things you buy from the lsquotodorsquo shops to keep flies off food Raise the whole lot up on bricks to allow the air to circulate underneath and place in hot sun

They should dry in a couple of days but on cool nights bring inside so they donrsquot become moist again and undo the process obviously if it rains you will need to bring

them in under cover

The end product should be dry but not crispy and with no inner moisture in order to prevent bacteria growth They should feel dry but pliable and almost leathery to the touch When they reach this stage they can be stored in plastic bags or airtight glass jars In plastic bags pack them as tightly as possible removing any excess air (a vacuum sealer is perfect for the job) For glass jars again pack them tightly and use a tight fitting lid to seal Preserving jars are great for the job

Your jars or plastic bags can be safely stored for up to a year after which the taste f lavour and nutritional value will decline They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months

I bet your neighbours wonrsquot turn their noses up if you offer them perfect sun-dried tomatoes

Aphids usually spend the summer on one plant moving to a host plant to overwinter They breed at an alarming rate - females can give birth to live young when only a week

old They are sap-sucking pests and the excess sap is excreted as honeydew This sticky residue falls on to the lower leaves of the plant attracting black sooty mould which inhibits

photosynthesis and deprives the plant of energy

Organic SolutionsNatural predators such as birds earwigs ladybirds lacewings hoverflies ground beetles

spiders and parasitic wasps are a gardenerrsquos best allies Some of these are available as biological controls however they need time to tackle the problem so donrsquot expect them to

hoover up the aphids overnightSmall clusters of aphids can be squished with your fingers or washed off

with a strong jet of waterInsecticidal soap sprays are effective but must come

into contact with the pest to work

Chemical SolutionsAvoid feeding plants with nitrogen-rich

fertiliser as it encourages soft sappy growth thatrsquos especially vulnerable to aphid attack There are many products available to control aphids - if you intend to use them on edible crops make sure you follow the instructions

carefully Bifenthrin is used in contact insecticides which are sprayed

directly on to the pest Imidacloprid and thiacloprid are found in systemic products which

are absorbed by the plants before being taken up by the

aphids

Aphids There are many species of aphid often with its own favourite host plants and

particular life cycle Greenfly and blackfly are the most familiar but there are also yellow

red orange and brown aphids

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Take a boat trip and it is possible to see many of these marine mammals More seldom are Minke Whale Long-finned Pilot Whale Rissorsquos Dolphin Cuvierrsquos Beaked Whale and Harbour Porpoise In spring Killer Whale and other dolphin species follow tuna shoals from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea

Whales and Dolphins are threatened by food shortage due to over-fishing Blue and Red Tuna hunted pitilessly are on the verge of extinction Whales and dolphins often drown as ldquoby-catchrdquo in the nets of the fishing fleets or after getting tangled in older nets which were cut and drift freely through the oceans Sea turtles such as the Loggerhead Turtle are additionally endangered by hook-fishing

The progressive pollution of the Mediterranean by sewage mineral oil or plastic waste is fatal to marine wildlife Especially in the Strait of Gibraltar the increased shipping traffic in the Mediterranean has endangered whales and dolphins and collisions happen time and time again

NATOrsquos sonar experiments in the Mediterranean prove to be a potent menace since dolphins and whales are damaged to such an extent that mass beachings and subsequent death of the animals occur more and more frequently The destruction of untouched coastal habitats and the unlimited construction of new sporting

ports w i t h

an increased choice of

leisure activities narrow the natural

habitat of these

marine mammals down even further

In order to protect the marine mammals in the Mediterranean Sea in a better way a binding Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) has been established The Spanish environmental organisation GOB (Grup Balear dacuteOrnitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) is contributing strongly towards the implementation of the agreement

Ten years ago GOB managed to create Spainrsquos first marine national park in Cabrera which is still an exemplary model today Only a while ago a second marine sanctuary was created in the north of Mallorca after application of political pressure by GOB

Another major success is a speed limit within the Strait of Gibraltar one of the busiest waterways in the world which will diminish the risk of collisions between ships and marine mammals

New sanctuaries are helped by yachtsmen and yacht owners within the large sailing estuaries around the Balearic Islands The volunteers have been trained to record their chance sightings of whales and dolphins scientifically without affecting the animals in any way This survey is then used to determine the most important habitats for dolphins whereby this information is then used in turn to work on proposals for new marine sanctuaries

You can report your Mediterranean dolphin sightings to GOB via e-mail Delphin-Walbeobachtungenplanetms

The development of alternative environmentally friendly fishing methods is just as much part of the project as the conservation of the underwater pastures which acts as a nursery for many fish

Marine Week1st ndash 16th August

The Mediterranean Sea is an important habitat for whales and dolphins Here and in the Black Sea there are seven different whale and four dolphin species At any time populations of Sperm Whales can be found offshore Crete and Fin Whale in the Ligurian Sea between Italy France and Corsica Dolphins such as Bottlenose Dolphin and Striped Dolphin are seen almost all year round especially in Greek waters All these species will come into the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar

Never hassle a marine creature Donrsquot try to get closer than the animal is comfortable with and never try to catch them

If your boat has an engine donrsquot lsquojoy-ridersquo it use the engine sparingly This will also cut down your fuel consumption and save you money

Whether sail or engine try to keep out of the path of swimming whales or dolphins

Remember that sound carries much more underwater so donrsquot bang the side of the boat it will actually hurt the creature in the same way as

inconsiderate noise on land hurts your own ears

Most of all pick up all your rubbish and dispose of it in a bin or take it home if there isnrsquot one

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Checkout Mojacarrsquos weather and sea conditions here on the beachcomberrsquos webcam wwwalmeriafreeadscomwebcam

For further information on any of the above or to find out about beach boat or coarse fishing licenses see me at the beachcomber bar Restaurant on Mojacar Playa or call 950 473 099 In case of difficulty reaching me (probably out fishing) ask staff for my mobile number

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Checkout Mojacarrsquos weather and sea conditions here on the beachcomberrsquos webcam wwwalmeriafreeadscomwebcam

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Checkout Mojacarrsquos weather and sea conditions here on the beachcomberrsquos webcam wwwalmeriafreeadscomwebcam

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

SAntA iREnE cLuB DE VELA

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

Checkout Mojacarrsquos weather and sea conditions here on the beachcomberrsquos webcam wwwalmeriafreeadscomwebcam

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

thE GRumPy oLDmEn of LoS GALLARDoS

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

david Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during los angeles Galaxyrsquos match on Saturday

beckham 34 exchanged words with a man in an england shirt during the Galaxyrsquos 1-1 draw with the kansas City Wizards

beckham who was fined following a clash with a fan last week claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria

the former england captain was fined $1000 (pound600) by Major League soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan

beckham who missed part of the Major League soccer season

earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game

At half-time he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch security staff intervened and police arrested a fan who left the stands

beckham joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy england boss Fabio Capellorsquos demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection

he is englandrsquos most capped outfield player with 112 appearances and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in south Africa

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

thatrsquos all for this week

until the next time

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

Alan Townend on 690 090 982 mAc fiShinGExtremadura now allows night fishing so get in touch with Matt at wwwfatanglingtourscom Carp to 77lbs Barbel to 46lbs and lots lots more

Just as I forecast a few weeks ago now if you do not have an nIe number you cannot get a beach or boat fishing license this is the new and I believe illegal rule brought in by the powers that be in Andaucia As far as Irsquom concerned this must contravene european law because a tourist cannot now fish the sea from shore or boat I have complained and the authorities are now aware of the situation wersquoll see what happens

lsquoMatt the hatrsquo was out twice this week from Garrucha with friends and they all caught fish triggers Atlantic scads spanish Mackerel Pickerel Combers Pandoras and striped bream All were caught in shallow water only 120 feet deep from opposite the Repsol garage

see photo of (Left to right) Mum stu dad and kelly with some of their Atalntic scads note the differences in colour

lsquoLondon billrsquo has been catching some good fish from Macenas Rocks and taking advantage of roughish seas which have been bringing predators close inshore sea bass bonitos and Palametes have been visiting his landing net poppers and rapalas doing the damage

lsquoCasa Verde barryrsquo and lsquobirds nest Philrsquo say some Murcia waters are polluted and so fishing is difficult In Andalucia pollution doesnrsquot seem to be anywhere near as bad and baza Lake (negratin) for instance is fishing quite well lsquobaza barryrsquo though has been concentrating on

the rivers to the north and while targeting trout hersquos been catching some good barbel to 4lbs

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

Greetings from a cold damp and dismal corner of the British Empire

the only brightness on the horizon was the birth of a new grandson to be christened david Victor and in that order otherwise the initials would be more than the little fellow could bear Fuller has met his match now there is someone else in the household who is able to talk more drivel than he does

It is wonderful how soon the mind can forgets the abject enjoyment generated shopping with ldquorsquoer in doorsrdquo can bring - Irsquom a Grump get me out of here

Riding on a double-decker bus into town reminded me of my youth sliding down a steep hill on a piece of corrugated tin it was that comfortable

this once bastion of the free world has become a slave to the tV ad with the masses feeding themselves on the basic commodity which is tomato sauce with various additions be it burger fish or just chips as seen on tV

the high streets in every town consist of charity shops estate agents banks and fast food outlets you will not find a butcher fishmonger or ironmongers for love nor money sad

example I was looking for the head for a dutch hoe no-one sold just the head you either had to but the complete item of nothing the same applies to food you cannot get a single pork chop because the powers that be say that the most common require is 4

the other day I was faced by a spotty faced moron who asked ldquoCan I help you sirrdquo I could not resist saying that I wanted a packet of sky hooks a length of fallopian tube and a gallon of striped paint I was quickly led away by mrsquoear is there no fun to be had anymore

thatrsquos enough moaning Irsquoll soon be on the red eye and on my way back to the land of manana siestarsquos and sun I think it may be some time before I will spend this amount of time again on these shores

I want to tell you a storyhellip

helliphaving had a good day sailing on the Cuevas Canal we were sat at Bar Malaga enjoying the company when Del asked me why I had named the Club ldquoSanta Irenerdquo A good question Most Clubs are Club Nautico (Aguilas) or where ever they are situated but there are few with Saints names

back in 2001 when I was dreaming of creating a Club building two ldquoOppiesrdquo on the patio and writing my progress in my spanish diary I noticed the name ldquosanta Irenerdquo My wife ethel Irene had died in 1999 when visiting our spanish friends she was always called Irene which made me want to know more about ldquosanta Irenerdquo she was the youngest of

three sisters (as was ethel Irene) possibly a teenager which fitted in with my thoughts of giving the youth of the area an opportunity to learn to sail santa Irene was also the Patron saint of Peace Our burgee (Flag) has a White dove on a blue background and the colours of Andalucia green and white

Looking back in my old files I discovered that I had opened a bank account in the name of ldquosanta Irene Club de Velardquo in 2001 by 2002 I had 8 dinghies on the weekend of the 31st May1st June the Club was founded with an exhibition of 9 dinghies at the Artisan Centre

At the end of the exhibition I had the names of 20 youngsters however at our first meeting only 5 young girls arrived never the less throughout the year we continued to meet sailing from the Garrucha slipway using the Mirror dinghy the Oppies and occasionally renting a dinghy from Lola and Carlos who had just started a sailing school

so where are my chicks now Most have flown the nest but itrsquos possible you may meet one of them regularly when you do your shopping at Mr uk Remember to say ldquohello sailorrdquo the next time Vicky is serving you

I should make them honorary members it helped to keep me young

Young or old I hope to see you at Cuevas Canal on sunday

take care John

ferrari driver felipe massa has shown signs of improvement after having surgery on his fractured skull

Massa 28 who was hit by a spring from Ruben barrichellorsquos car during qualifying for the F1 Hungarian GP on 25th July is able to communicate ldquoactivelyrdquo and move his hands and legs but cannot speak

A Ferrari spokesman said ldquoFelipe had a quiet night he is okay and he is due to have another Ct scan today ldquoWe are optimistic in our hope that a slow recovery is beginningrdquo said hospital spokesman Istvan bocskai

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo will fly to budapestrsquos Aek military hospital to be at Massarsquos bedside alongside the driverrsquos father mother and pregnant wife who have all flown in from brazil

Massa sustained his injuries when a spring from fellow brazilian barrichellorsquos car struck his helmet he then hit a tyre wall

And following kimi Raikkonenrsquos second-place finish at the hungaroring on sunday Ferrari team principal stefano domenicali dedicated the result to Massa ldquoAt this time all our thoughts are with him and his family and I think this sentiment also applies to those who are close to him and to fans all over the worldrdquo said domenicali ldquokimi drove a great race and the team worked in impeccable fashion concentrating on the job despite what happened We got the best result we were capable of but please allow me on behalf of everyone at Ferrari to send our best wishes to Felipe We love you and we are all thinking of yourdquo

Race winner Lewis hamilton extended his goodwill to Massa following the britonrsquos first victory of the season

ldquoMaybe I can speak for all the drivers but saturday was quite a sad day and we missed Feliperdquo stated the defending world champion ldquoFor me Irsquove had a great relationship with Felipe for quite a few years now and some great battles with him Irsquom just glad the surgery went well and wersquore just going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery hersquos got a child coming so he needs to get back into top shape so when hersquos finally a dad he can do the job wellrdquo

After being struck on the helmet by the 1kg spring from barrichellorsquos car Massarsquos feet are believed to have come to rest on both the throttle and brake and his car ploughed head on into a tyre wall at about 125mph Massa was swiftly attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuitrsquos medical centre after which he was airlifted to hospital

lewis hamilton has urged his mclaren team to take no respite after rediscovering the winning habit in Sundayrsquos Hungarian Grand Prix the race at the hungaroring was undoubtedly overshadowed by felipe Massarsquos absence following his freak accident in qualifying which was respectfully noted by hamilton despite his success But there could be no disguising his delight at a long-overdue win after a previously wretched season in an uncompetitive car with his last victory nine months ago in China

McLaren have clearly rediscovered the winning formula again with world champion hamilton taking the chequered flag for the 10th time of his 45-race career

Martin Whitmarsh who joined hamilton on the podium for the first time as team principal has confirmed a further upgrade will be on the car for the european Grand Prix in Valencia in four weeks

ldquoIt is important we just continue to pushrdquo remarked hamilton who was never troubled after inheriting the lead from Fernando Alonso on lap 13 of the 70-lap race at the hungaroring

ldquoWe want to come back next year with the best possible chance of winning championships so we need to continue to work this year and understand everything to help us and hopefully make a good foundation for us to work on next year which of course is our emphasisrdquo

kimi Raikkonen claimed second for Ferrari with stewards dismissing as racing incidents his clashes with hamilton and sebastian Vettel on the opening lap that prompted an investigation after the race

the stewards also did nothing other than issue a reprimand to Red bull Racing after an unsafe release from the pits of Mark Webber as the Australian almost collided with Raikkonen after the first round of stops

Webber went on to finish third to take up second in the standings behind leader Jenson Button closing the gap to 185 points as the briton finished a season-low seventh

After a weekend which failed to live up to expectations for button and brawn GP the 29-year-old said ldquoWe felt positive we could get a good result but it turned into damage limitation for our championship challenge and we were fortunate to come away with two points the car just doesnrsquot feel like it did a few races ago but wersquoll work hard to identify the problems before Valenciardquo

In a busy post-race session for the stewards they handed Renault a suspension for the european race after the tyre loss suffered by Alonso after it worked free and bounced across the track on lap 13 As the team had not properly secured it to the wheel the three-man panel found Renault guilty of compromising safety although the team have lodged their intention to appeal

Williamsrsquo nico Rosberg and heikki kovalainen were fourth and fifth with toyota duo timo Glock and Jarno trulli sixth and eighth either side of button

Jaime Alguersuari finished his F1 debut 15th becoming the youngest driver in the sportrsquos history to compete in a race at the age of 19 years and 125 days and ahead of toro Rosso team-mate sebastien buemi

alberto Contador earned his second tour de france victory after seeing out the 21st and final stage won in stunning style by manxman mark Cavendish Spaniard Contador held off Luxembourgrsquos Andy Schleck with american lance armstrong edging out Bradley wiggins

Wiggins equalled the best tour finish by a briton with his fourth place matching Robert Millar in 1984

Cavendishrsquos win was his sixth of the 2009 tour and he became the first briton to win on the Champs elysees the 24-year-old who now has 10 tour stage wins to his name was an easy winner in Paris

he was led out by his Columbia team-mates George hincapie and Mark Renshaw and was helped on the final turn when the Garmin team of his rival tyler Farrar took the wrong line and also blocked thor hushovd

Cavendish was suddenly several metres clear and with only Renshaw near him was able to raise his arms to the sky in triumph as he crossed the line he was pipped to the green points jersey by norwegian hushovd who finished with 10 more points but said that winning in Paris was a dream come true

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to win on the Champs elysees and the feeling doesnrsquot disappointrdquo Cavendish said after completing the tour for the first time at the third attempt to cross the line here in Paris with your hands raised at the front of the pack is every sprinterrsquos dream and I wanted it so badrdquo

Italyrsquos Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey for the best climber while Contadorrsquos victory kept the spanish flag flying high on the Champs elysees as it followed triumphs for Oscar Pereiro in 2006 himself in 2007 and Carlos Sastre last year

The 26-year-old proved to be the strongest rider in the mountains and in the time trials beating Andy schleck by four minutes 11 seconds with seven-time champion Armstrong another one minute and 23 seconds back 37 seconds ahead of Wiggins After almost 3500km of racing over 21 stages in three weeks sundayrsquos stage was a victory parade for Contador who toasted his win with champagne as the peloton rode into Paris

And Contador who missed last yearrsquos tour after Astana were not invited because of their past doping record spoke of his joy at claiming his second victory

ldquoIt was a tough tour and hard one to overcome but it brings me great honour and joy to record victory this yearrdquo he said ldquothere was always a risk I could lose right up until the end but I held on the tour is the hardest race in the world but this year it was particularly difficult thatrsquos why I am so happyrdquo

Andrea Dovizioso won the last British Grand Prix at Donington Park as the top three riders in the MotoGP World Championship had a race to forget

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo

the Repsol honda rider won his first ever Grand Prix in the premier class after Fiat Yamaha duo Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both crashed while leading in front of nearly 90000 fans

Rossi was able to remount his bike and finish fifth to increase his championship lead over Lorenzo to 25 points but will rue throwing away the chance to claim a stranglehold on another title

Marlboro ducati rider and 2007 world champion Casey stoner also had a bad afternoon as his tyre gamble backfired to leave him in 14th place

british rider James toseland took his tech 3 Yamaha to a sixth-placed finish as british fans said goodbye to donington ahead of next yearrsquos move to silverstone

the inclement weather which had blighted the whole weekend again caused drama as ducati duo stoner and nicky hayden started with wet tyres on a dry track

however the rain held off until light showers near the end and stoner soon found himself at the back of the field as toni elias - who qualified eighth - was the surprise leader through the first two laps

Lorenzo soon took the lead and built an advantage before elias suffered a high-speed crash when he highsided after drifting onto the wet kerbs at starkeyrsquos bridge

Lorenzo then crashed out on lap eight after losing the front end at Goddards and despite his frantic efforts to retrieve his bike he was forced to retire

Rossi appeared set for a routine win but then crashed himself at the Foggy esses to hand dovizioso his maiden win ahead of Colin edwards and Randy de Puniet

Alex de Angelis was fourth with toseland set for a career-best fifth until the masterful Rossi somehow clawed his way back past on the final lap

For edwards it was a first podium of the year but the texan admitted that negotiating the slippery circuit was extremely hazardous

he said ldquothat was 48 minutes of hell I wouldnrsquot wish that race on my worst enemy every corner you didnrsquot know if you were going to fall off or not as half the circuit was wet and half of it dry I did not enjoy that at all but I have a new tactic for riding in the wet I now use a dark visor so you canrsquot see where the wet patches are as everyone rides faster when they canrsquot see where theyrsquore goingrdquo
