1440 By Stuart Sayer
W
hat’s the relevance of that number you may ask? Do you know? I’d better give you a clue - it relates to time... For the majority of us, time seems to whizz by and you may wonder ‘just where did that last year in 2010 actually go?’ So what about this number ‘1440’? Well, it refers to what is probably the greatest resource you have available! It’s the number of minutes you have available each and every day. Wow! Yes, 24 lots of 60 minutes kindly presents you with 1440 minutes. Now how many times have you said ‘I’ll do that when I have a minute’ – ‘Right now I just don’t have enough time’ – or ‘If I had more time I’d do X or Y’? Yep, just about all of us have said those things at one point or another haven’t we? Well time is one commodity you cannot have more of each day. Assuming we are healthy enough to live out the day, there is always exactly the same resource available to each and everyone of us – 1440 minutes. To be effective in life it’s what you actually DO with those minutes that matters! After all, ‘finding a minute’ cannot be THAT much of a challenge surely? Even if you do consume a whole minute, you still have 1439 other minutes left which is a considerable remaining resource! You may say; ‘Ah, but I have to do… (enter your own statement here) every day don’t I? Well what you have to do and what you choose to do is quite another issue – this is covered in more depth on the Inspire ‘Peak Performance Mind’ programme and it’s a real eye-opener I can assure you!; really powerful sessions to identify what you do and why you do it. There’s too much to share with you in a snappy article like this one, suffice to say when you need a learning and development programme for you or your people Inspire can certainly help you! So what are you planning to do with your 1440 minutes each day in 2011? Well that’s
10
Please mention the East
entirely up to you of course – there’s always the rest of your life to get stuff done – after all, you have absolutely thousands and thousands of days left in the rest of your life don’t you? Or do you? Here’s a quote from National Statistics: ‘Life expectancy at birth in the UK has reached its highest level on record for both males and females. A newborn baby boy could expect to live 77.7 years and a newborn baby girl 81.9 years if mortality rates remain the same as they were in 2007–09’. Now let’s consider what that means using 365 days in a year; 77.7 years = 28,360 days for the average man and 81.9 years = 29,893 days for the average woman. Blimey - less than 30,000! Now I don’t know how old you are, but I am well over half-way through the average life expectancy already; I therefore have (dare I do this?) less than 10,000 days remaining. That’s a mere 1428 weeks. (*/@!! */!!) It suddenly seems not very much at all… If you’re serious about developing a better life I bet you’ve made your own ‘days left’ calculations already. Time flies and let’s face it, 2011 is already here whether we like it or not! Redefining a few things ready for the year ahead seems a good idea; in simple terms, decide what really matters to you and ensure you make best use of the time you have available. So, what are you going to do with your 1440 minutes each day in 2011 then?

Gardening Feature Winter-flowering Algerian Irises
F
amiliarity may not always breed contempt, but it may breed carelessness. Some of the best flowers in my garden are under my very nose, yet I cannot see them for looking. When I consider how beautiful are the flowers of the ‘Algerian iris’, Iris unguicularis, and how easy it is once established, I feel ashamed to have it in only one place in the garden, giving it scarcely a thought from one end of the year to the other. Until it comes into flower, when for a brief moment, I realise how lucky I am. I think the Algerian iris is easily overlooked because it’s one of those plants that requires so little attention from the gardener. It comes from countries in the Mediterranean, so is accustomed to hot dry summers, and cool, wetter winters. It emphatically does not need a rich soil. Provided you can find, or make, an area of infertile, gritty, preferably limey soil in a south-facing border (say against the house wall), you have solved its cultivation problems more or less permanently. If it does not flower well one year, it is more likely to be because the summer before was dreary and sunless than because the clump is overcrowded. So what is it like, this paragon of beauty thriving on neglect? It has flowers between 5 and 8 cm across when fully open, at the top of 15 cm, smooth stalks. Inside, the three ‘falls’ (the petals which curve over) are hairless, light purple, but with delicate mauve feathering on a yellow background; they might have been painted by an oriental artist of infinite skill. The three ‘standards’ are also light purple. The exterior of the petTo advertise in the East
als, however, has an ivory pallor and is thin enough for a hint of the feathering to show through. If you pick an unopened flower and bring the bud inside, it will open quickly in the warmth and reward you with a sweetly-scented flower that will last for a day or two. This is certainly the best way of examining the flower, or even painting it. Flowers begin to unfurl in my garden clump in the last days of December, and though each flower lasts only a few days, there is a succession of them well into February. The timing of flowering depends where in its geographical range the ancestors of your plant was found. It may be as early as the autumn or as late as February. There is a white-flowered form called ‘Alba’ and a dwarf sub-species called I. cretensis. There are two named selections, quite widely sold. ‘Mary Barnard’, is even more beautiful, with a deeper, more luxuriant purple. ‘Walter Butt’ is much paler, to my mind a little wishywashy, with shorter, broader foliage. It is probably the most scented. If anyone ever offers you either of these, grab them. The best time to replant the rhizomes (roots) is September, as soon as the autumn rains have started; they should be put in the soil a little deeper than you would the rhizomes of ‘bearded’ irises, and in as large pieces as you can manage. If you are lucky, they will flower in their first winter - and never disappoint you thereafter.

Snowdrops by Starlight The First Ever Illuminated Snowdrop Wood ‘An inspiring and artistic spectacle’
T
o the thousands of visitors to Cambo Snowdrops each February the series of walks through the 70 acres of snowdrop woods on Cambo Estate are already an inspiring sight in daylight Inspired by the amazing sight of drifts of snowdrops caught in the headlights of her car and thanks to funding from Celebrating Fife 2010, Fife Council and Heritage Lottery, for ten evenings in February 2010 Catherine Erskine transformed these snowdrop woodlands by light and sound into an enchanting wonderland delighting young and old. Children hunted for fairies, adults enjoyed the mesmerising light effects, all ages had a wonderful experience viewed, as one visitor remarked, ‘through a magical lens’. The lights picked out features in the designed landscape, both natural and manmade, mature trees seemed even more magnificent and the sculptures created by artists and school groups from willow and natural materials caught everyone’s imagination. Even the odd shower of rain or snow didn’t dampen the effect, indeed visitors remarked that they added to the enchantment! Funding is in place from Celebrating Fife, Fife
15
Council’s Strategic Events Investment Programme and EventScotland and this ‘celebration of the woodlands awakening’ is to be repeated in 2011 from 11 to 27 February. With the snowdrop woodlands once more transformed into a magical wonderland, plans are afoot to have more woodland art contributed by Scottish visual artists and to invite Will Menter, composer and visual artist, to set up sound sculptures which will be ‘playable’ and encourage participation. It is also hoped to illuminate the Georgian Stables which are virtually in their original state and to display less weather resistant art there. As last year, the Snowdrop Tea Room will be transformed in the evenings with twinkling lights and will be serving refreshments, the Gift Shop will be open and of course snowdrop bulbs will be for sale. Timed tickets are available from www.snowdropsbystarlight.com or 01333 450054 and coaches will leave St Andrews for Cambo Saturday to Tuesday and from Crail on Thursday and Friday. Pre-booked parking will be available and there will be disabled parking and access available on site for registered disabled.

Motoring Ford C-Max
I
f you want a seven-seat Ford your choices are about to get a lot harder with the introduction of this, the new C-
MAX. Joining the Galaxy and S-MAX in the Ford line-up last autumn was the replacement for the Blue Oval’s popular compact people carrier and it now comes in two body styles – making your decision even harder! The spiritual successor to the outgoing model is the larger Grand C-MAX – this has seven seats, sliding rear doors and a range of new engines to tempt buyers. The smaller five-seat C-MAX is seen by the manufacturer as a softer option to the new Focus which will be sportier than the outgoing car when it arrives in 2011. For this test we focussed on the larger car which is set to account for two-thirds of CMAX sales. Featuring the maker’s now famous kinetic design it boasts the signature Ford grille at the front, sweeping headlights and a new piano black finish to the plastics. To be honest, it’s not the prettiest of cars in this sector – which includes the VW Touran and Vauxhall Zafira – but it’s what’s on the inside that really counts. Here it’s well appointed and designed with real thought. The button layout has taken cues from mobile phones, separating functions from the centre console and adding them to the steering wheel for intuitive inputs. Inside it also has the look of the new Fiesta and Ka with a swooping centre console, smart steering wheel and high quality materials. Buyers in this segment demand practicality – Ford sees the C-MAX being bought mostly by families – so the sliding rear doors which offer easy access to the cabin will be a real boon. The rear seat configuration is also flexible with the centre seat of the middle bench folding away into the chair behind the driver. This is very easy to do and creates a walkway to the two rear seats. Those rearmost perches are only really for children as there’s little

legroom, but for emergency seven-up trips they’ll do just fine. Potential buyers will be pleased to hear that just because you’re buying a family car doesn’t mean the end of driving enjoyment. The C-MAX really is great to drive – the new electric power steering is full of feel and perfectly weighted and the new six-speed gearbox is far better than the outgoing unit with a pleasant, knotchy throw. For a people carrier – even a compact one – it handles brilliantly, with little body-roll in the bends. But the real gem is the new 1.6litre petrol EcoBoost powerplant. It produces 150bhp and 240Nm of torque which is spread throughout the rev range making the C-MAX extremely responsive and a delight to drive. Other options for under the bonnet include two lower powered 1.6-litre petrol units and two TDCI diesels – a 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre – both of which are excellent. Standard kit has also been improved over the outgoing model with a host of handy extras thrown in. On the most popular trim level – Zetec – buyers get those sliding rear doors, Bluetooth handsfree, voice control, a handy powered rear hatch, alarm and parking sensors. There’s more good news for potential owners too – residual values are better than the outgoing car, insurance ratings are lower and the cost of the cars have been cut in comparison to the old ones. The C-MAX range starts at £16,745 and the Grand CMAX at £18,745. We were really impressed with the C-MAX – packed with kit, comfortable and enjoyable to drive it’s the perfect car for expanding families.

Gadgets Digital Detox he Gadgets That Can Help You Get In Shape - Eating, drinking and being merry is tremendous fun, but unfortunately it tends to leave its mark on our waistlines - and that means most of us enter the New Year carrying a few extra pounds. Wouldn’t it be great if technology could help us shift them?
T
FIRST STEPS It turns out that there are stacks of hightech ways to get fit and fight the flab. The first step is to find out what shape you’re in, and for that you can use the Withings Wi-Fi scale. It’s not the cheapest bit of kit you’ll find at around £112, but you get a lot for your money: the scales don’t just weigh you but analyse you, working out your levels of body fat and lean muscle. That information can be stored securely online, enabling you to track your progress from any computer or even an iPhone.
APPS AND GADGETS The word iPhone crops up a lot when you talk about high-tech fitness: there are plenty of apps in the App Store that take advantage of the phone’s GPS system, tracking your steps and even monitoring your route. Our pick is the Nike+GPS (£1.99), which works on the iPhone and on the iPod Touch to track where you run and motivate you to go further and faster. Similar apps are available for Android, Nokia and Windows Mobile phone, and you’ll find a huge range of fitness programmes - pedometers, diet guides, calorie counters, exercise regimes and so on in each platform’s App Store. Adding fitness apps to your smartphone is usually cheap, but of course you don’t need a mobile phone to benefit from GPS technology. Sat-nav experts Garmin make several GPSbased gadgets, including its Forerunner range of running watches and its Edge devices for cyclists. The former tells you how you’re do-
Please mention the East
ing, how many calories you’re burning and whether you’re going to collapse any time soon, while the latter tracks your speed and heart rate. Would you rather go for a swim? You’ll find gadgets aplenty here too including Speedo’s Aquabeat (£55), which stores 1GB of music and the Finis Lap Track (£50), which you can use to record your lap times in the pool.
INTERESTING AND FUN The problem with watersports is that you need water to do them - or at least, you did before the Human Touch came along. It’s a big investment at £349, but it does mimic surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding to boost your body’s core strength, toning up your abdominal muscles and helping to protect your back - and unlike the real thing, if you make a mistake you’re unlikely to break anything. One of the most interesting fitness gadgets is the Ki Fit, an armband that monitors your metabolism and even your sleep patterns to build up a picture of your health. It’s quite expensive - £99.99 for a basic package including one year’s use of the Online Activity Manager website - but it’s had rave reviews. If that all sounds a bit dull and worthy, don’t despair: fitness can be fun too. The superb Wii Fit turns Nintendo’s Wii console into a fun fitness centre, boosting your fitness as you do everything from step aerobics to ski jumping and kung fu. At the time of writing the latest version, Wii Fit plus, is around £75 including the essential Balance Board - but don’t forget, you’ll need a Wii console (£169) to use it.

’m delighted to announce that the East Neuk Edition website is now up and running, it went live just a few weeks ago. The website is always going to be a work in progress with new content being added all the time. Features currently in place include, local weather forecast, a live BBC local news feed and access to an online version of the East Neuk Edition. The online version brings the magazine to life on screen and lets you turn the pages to read it as if it were on the table in front of you. The “Business Directory” provides contact details of all the businesses currently advertising along with a link to their website. The “What’s On” page features a list of up and coming events. From time to time details of events only come to light after the magazine has gone to print, so any late additions
can now be added to the website listing. There’s a host of local information to be found on the “Community Info” pages, with links to information from the council services, police, doctors and chemists and a listing of local clubs. The local club listings is a real work in progess. If you are involved with a local club please get in touch, I’m looking for as much information as possible, including where they meet, times, website details and a contact person, once I have these details the listing can be updated.

Flylady, Marla Cilley Times Flies When You’re Having Fun
T
he older you get the faster the years fly by! It just seems like yesterday that FlyLady started. For me time flies when you are having fun. I guess that is the message that I want to start the new year with. Have you been having fun? That is all most of us want to do anyway! We just want to play! As children we couldn't wait to get outside and play after a hard day at school. Even though we were told that we could not go outside till our homework was done. We faked being done because we knew the daylight was fading. Our procrastination forced us to get our homework on the bus or just before class. The stress of procrastination makes life miserable. Putting things off till later is self punishment. We know eventually that our procrastination will catch up to us. I don't know why we do this to ourselves but if we can ever do what needs done before it is time, it frees us to have more fun. When your home is messy you don't feel like you have time to pursue the fun things in life. You may think you do but that sink full of dirty dishes is still tugging at you and making you feel bad. Wouldn't it be more fun to play without unconsciously feeling guilty? We deny that our home bothers us. We are liberated women! If I had not gotten my home in order I would not have recognized my purpose for living! I had always felt that something was missing in my life. My talents were many but as long as I lived in clutter and chaos they never came together to bless my life and the lives of others. I wanted more! So a decade ago I got up on New Year's Day beating myself up. Why was I so disorganized! Why couldn't I keep our home clean! Why was I always late! The list goes on and on! As I made my perpetual New Year's resolution to "Get Organized" I vowed to figure out what my problem really was. I started looking deep into myself to a time when I had my act together. The only time in my life that I had ever
To advertise in the East
been able to keep house was when I was using Pam and Peggy's card file system. As I dug out my old card file; one of many I had built in two decades of striving for organization, I realized that once again I had faked my way so that I could play. I had built my card file but had never really internalized the habits that they were supposed to help me build. I had thought that the card file was the answer. It was not for me because I had skipped the most important part of Pam and Peggy's book. The crucial missing rule to my card file was that when one of the cards becomes a habit; you get to throw it away! I missed it because I was in a hurry to establish the box and had not read the book well. I just wanted to play once again. This realization changed my life. I had never established a habit! Right then and there I made two New Year's Resolutions. They were not huge goals like "getting organized"; they were babysteps! I picked one habit to practice, keeping my sink clean and shiny! That second resolution was all about my attitude toward me! Everytime I beat myself up, I just gave up. I was tired of not living up to my unrealistic perfectionist expectations. It was time that I showed myself a little kindness. As once an established habit eventually evolved into my routines I was free! Free of my own self loathing, free of a messy home and free to have fun! Are you ready to have some fun? Time FLYs when you do!

Travel Feature Aswan, The Jewel of The Nile
O
n the right bank of the Nile, 550 miles south of Cairo, Aswan is a delightful place for a holiday. White sails and luminous skies, ancient temples, river islands and the vast Nasser Lake on the doorstep, this pretty oasis is full of cultural and natural attractions. Here the Nubian desert meets the green ribbon of farmland which follows the river towards a far away delta. Just south of Aswan, the High Dam marks the dividing line. Fronted by a symbolic lotus sculpture, it’s over two miles long and 130 feet high, completed in 1972 to create one of the world’s largest man-made lakes, stretching across the Sudanese border. Arable land increased considerably, floods came under control, electricity boomed and around Aswan and beyond, 14 ancient Egyptian temples were dismantled and rebuilt piece by piece on higher ground. Among them is the lovely island temple of Philae dedicated to the goddess Isis, all carved columns and pavilions and stunning views of the Nile framed by mimosa blossom. But the most fabulous of them all is Abu Simbel, a long but popular day trip from Aswan. The first tourist convoy sets off at dawn as dunes turn pink and gold and the first mirages glisten at the foot of the hills. Buried in the sand for centuries, the rock temples honoured the great Pharaoh Ramses II and his favourite Queen, Nefertari, alongside Egyptian Gods. They were rediscovered with much excitement in the 19th century but could have vanished forever in the new reservoir. The rescue meant cutting the colossal statues and monuments into 1036 blocks, each one weighing 30 tons or so, cutting the surrounding rock and reassembling it all in two especially created hills, high above the original site. Once again, on the ancient Egyptian solstice, the sunrays light up the gods seated in the temple, just as Ramses II had wished in his dreams. Back in Aswan, many visitors head north on the two day cruise to Luxor while others

relax in hotel gardens filled with bird song. In the cool evenings, they venture in the bazaar where T-shirts and shawls mingle with saffron, coriander, fresh dates, carob and unleavened bread. There are donkey carts laden with mint and oranges, winding lanes and a neat thoroughfare festooned with small shops and wooden verandas. Elegant carriages wait at the city gate and red hibiscus shed their blossom along the riverfront. It’s worth looking out for the museum, with its mummy of a sacred ram, the unfinished obelisk lying abandoned on the hillside and the steps of the Nilometre dipping into the Nile, once used to measure the water for irrigation and tax purposes. You can ride a camel or trek in sand-coloured hills but nothing beats sailing on the Nile in a traditional felucca, powered only by the breeze. There are islands to explore, Elephantine with its palm groves and Nubian villages, Kitchener with its cool Botanical Gardens, Siheyl where the First Cataract of the Nile leaps around the rocks. In ancient times, boats had to unload to negotiate the rapids but today feluccas shelter in the creeks to watch the sunset. Great flocks of cormorants and ducks come to roost after feeding on the lake, fishermen cast their nets and as the rocks glow coppery gold, the evening breeze rustles through the reeds. The dusk chorus begins, gently at first but soon filling the air with exotic calls. The sun sets behind the trees and near the dam, the crocodiles lie in wait as they have done since ancient times.

Recipe
Made with frozen mixed berries and thick Greek yoghurt this is a quick and easy low fat dessert - a refreshing alternative to the usual calorie laden winter puds! For a more adult version replace the apple juice with red wine or add a splash of cassis to the softened fruit.
Serves 4 Ready in 45 minutes Plus chilling
Spiced Berry and Yoghurt Layered Puds 400g bag frozen mixed berries 75g (3oz) caster sugar 55ml (2fl oz) apple juice 1 mulled wine spice sachet 1-2 tsp vanilla extract 500g carton Greek yoghurt 6 ready-made brandy snaps
For a hot version, allow the fruit compote to cool for just 10 mins. Warm a carton of fresh custard and use in lace of the yoghurt.
1. Place the frozen berries in a deep frying pan. Stir in the sugar and apple juice and add the mulled wine spice sachet. Gently heat the fruit, stirring all the time, until the sugar has dissolved. 2. Simmer gently for 10 mins until the fruit has thawed completely and the liquid is syrupy. Set aside and leave to cool for 30 mins. Remove the mulled wine spice sachet and discard. 3. Stir the vanilla extract into the yoghurt. Lightly crush half the brandy snaps. Layer the fruit compote, vanilla yoghurt and crushed brandy snaps in 4 tall serving glasses, ending with a layer of yoghurt. 4. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Break the remaining brandy snaps into pieces and use to decorate the desserts. Serve immediately.

Books Inspirational Reads
J
anuary may be dark and miserable after the all excitement of Christmas, but as the New Year dawns it’s time to take stock and make some changes. Here are a few of our favourite inspirational reads, guaranteed to make a difference to your life. They Did You Can by Michael Finnegan This book is an easy read, it won't take up much of your time yet will, if you let it, make a lasting impression on your life. By taking you through examples of how sporting heroes achieved their success, Mike details the tools and techniques that ordinary people can use to achieve their hopes and dreams. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle Most of us waste time worrying about what has already happened or what might happen in the future; neither of which is conducive to getting the most out of the present. This practical and deep-thinking book is an insightful and powerful read - a common sense approach to focusing on what matters most. The Alchemist by Paul Coelho An uplifting tale with a simple message – to follow your dreams, have faith and overcome your fears, because what you fear the most tends to be fear itself. The story is of a boy who dreams of treasure in the Egyptian desert – he sets off to find it, coming across many wise and wonderful spiritual guides along the way. Well worth a read, if only for the absorbing tale.

Essence of Buddha: The Path to Enlightenment by Ryuho Okawa Centuries of writings condensed down into one easily digested history of Buddhism; from where it all began and the main principles to how, through self-denial and meditation, difficulties in life can be handled with serenity and harmony whilst on the road to enlightenment. For anyone interested in a more peaceful way of life, this is well worth a read. NEW RELEASE Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl You may not expect much of an uplifting tale from a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp, but this story is about the power of the human spirit, when tested to its absolute endurance. A psychologist before the war, Frankl observed how human attitudes and inner strength can influence our fate when faced with even the direst of circumstances. This will make you laugh and cry – it will certainly make you think. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin One of the greatest life stories ever written: this is one man’s plan to lead a virtuous life. Though written over two hundred years ago, the methods of handling people and achieving success remain unaltered. A frank discussion of business, politics, society, family, sex and religion, this is a fascinating and moral text written by a truly remarkable man. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie One of the best selling self-help titles ever, it’s all about enhancing social skills and the ways of handling people to maximum effect. This is not simply a management book, but a lesson on how to treat others, in all walks of life.
