THE FIRST WORD The build up to Christmas has begun the shops are filled with treats and goodies and our minds now turn to the big day. For many of us Christmas means family and a day where hopefully (!) the whole family can join together and celebrate another years passing. Entertaining family members can be quite difficult and buying presents for that person who has everything can be even harder.

So within this issue we take a look at the many festive markets scattered across Europe each with their own offerings of unique trinkets and treats to offer you some inspiration. If you’re planning to go out and party our Style Guide shows you what’s hot for him and her so both you and your partner can look great at the Crimbo party!

Planning to get away? Then why not skip across the Atlantic, to the sunshine state of California the home of San Francisco, Disney Parks, The City of Angel’s & the glamorous Beverley Hills and if you’re feeling really adventurous then why not take to the skies with Virgin Galatica’s space tourism project…

You may need to win the lottery beforehand mind you!

As always we bring you our regular features on fashion, beauty & fine dining and from all of us here at Sunsearch Magazine we wish all our readers and contributors a Very Merry Christmas, and we look forward to seeing you on the other side in 2014….

Istanbul The city on two continents Flight Time: 3hours 44 minutes

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

The Bosphorous

S

tanding proudly on the very link between Europe and Asia, Istanbul is the only city in the world to be built across two continents. This marriage of Eastern & Western culture along with modern and ancient is the reason why Istanbul is one of most amazing cities in the world.

The city’s history stretches back more than 2,500 years, and over this time it has been the capital of three of the world’s greatest empires: Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. That legacy means it has one of the most diverse, rich and celebrated cultural heritages anywhere on the planet, yet it still manages to project a modern and vibrant feel.

Grand Kiosk of Topkapı Palace

Ancient palaces and wonderful-looking Islamic mosques can be found, as well as European-style bars and shops, and although its home to around 10 million people, Istanbul doesn’t feel too hectic or overcrowded, this is thanks to its unique location on either side of the banks of the River Bosphorus one of the world’s busiest waterways which divide the European and Asian sides of the city.

Top of most visitors’ lists is the enormous Topkapi Palace, which is more like a small town than a true palace. Built between the 15th and 19th centuries, this maze of structures was the centrepiece of the Ottoman Empire, and its opulence is clear to see. Surrounded by woodland gardens, the palace doubles as a museum of unimaginable wealth. It houses not just the stunning collections of costumes, jewellery, and artefacts relating to the sultans and their families, but also the holy relics of the Prophet Mohammed.

From here, it’s a short walk to the beautiful Sultan Ahmet Mosque, more commonly referred to as the Blue Mosque because of its exquisite blue-and-white interior tile panelling. Built during the reign of Ahmed 1 between 1609 to1616 the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has one main dome, six minarets, and eight secondary domes.

Istanbul

Treasury Gate, Dolmabahçe Palace

Further on you will find the Aya Sofya Museum also known as Hagia Sophia which means ‘Holy Wisdom’. After decades in which scaffolding has cluttered the interior of this sixth-century Byzantine masterpiece, this famous church-turned-mosque-turned museum has been returned to its former glory. The large spacious interior is covered with 30 million gold tesserae (tiny mosaic tiles). Split across two levels this ancient mega structure is simply breath-taking.

The list of fabulous buildings in Istanbul is endless, the impressive Dolmabahce Palace, on the shore north of the ‘Golden Horn’ inlet, the Istanbul Palace, the Sea Pavilion, the Imperial Suleymaniye Mosque, the Cinili Kosk… the list goes on and on. Suffice to say, you will never run out of places to see, and whatever your interest there will is something for you.

At the other end of the spectrum, shopping within the market square and bazaars is truly amazing. The labyrinth of narrow streets beguiles you with a staggering 4,000 shops! With everything on offer from leather goods to jewellery, hand-painted ceramics to copper and brassware, and, naturally, every shape, size and colour of the worldfamous carpets. Be prepared to haggle, bartering is an essential part of shopping and it’s very easy to get caught up in the frenetic atmosphere.

Istanbul is an amazing, timeless city. You’ll never see it all in one visit, which means you’ll have a thoroughly good reason to return again and again.

REBELS RISK TAKERS HELLRAISERS Have you ever wondered why that guy always seems to get the girls? He’s brash, cocky and he marches to the beat of his own drum. He’s on (or over) the edge, bordering on rude and doesn’t seem to give a damn about anyone but himself.

He lives life just how he wants to, making the rules up as he goes, and although we know subconsciously he’s trouble we still can’t get enough. So what exactly do women see in guys like this: Rebels are confident, indifferent, exciting, adventurous, challenging, mysterious and masculine.

We may not know exactly what that X factor is but we certainly know who’s got it here we take a look at some celebrity rebels through the ages that tick all these boxes.

Oliver Reed Spoke like a king, looked like a brute, drank like a fish

N

otorious British hell raiser and boy every mother warned their daughter off, an ideal bit of rough. Actor Oliver Reed, who wrestled naked with Alan Bates in Ken Russell’s Women in Love, was, of course, a champion of the species.

It is said he once consumed four cases of wine, followed by a bottle of Chanel No 5 as a chaser.

He got drunk and behaved outrageously on chat shows to the delight of TV executives. He dismissed Jack Nicholson as a “balding midget” and he threw up all over Steve McQueen. He was notorious for exposing himself in public, ‘Reed’s Mighty Mallet’ – as he liked to call it was a famed party trick which, consisted of him exposing the thespian twig and berries, in order to proudly display the ‘bird-claw’ tattoo that adorned them.

But behind that image, was a vastly complex individual, a man of deep passions and loyalty

but also deep-rooted vulnerability and insecurities and as the decades passed, the acting gave way to everything else. He was a celebrity before the era of the celebrity had truly begun.

At his hell-raising peak, the gossip columns were filled with accounts of booze-fuelled fights: a brawl with paparazzi on the Via Veneto in Rome, fisticuffs with a French count in a restaurant, even beating up a policeman. “I was silly, young and drunk making a complete clown of myself,” he said. “But I did quite enjoy the days when one went for a beer at one’s local and woke up in Corsica.”

Oliver Reed died prematurely at 61 after an arm-wrestling contest with a bunch of 18-yearold sailors while filming the blockbuster movie Gladiator.

Jack Nicholson Untamed & Wild

H

e is Tinsel town’s most indestructible sex symbol and hellraiser, known for his trademark shark’s grin and sunglasses.

The astonishing rise to stardom of a boy who was brought up to believe his grandmother was his mother, and his mother his sister.

Jack Nicholson remains, after all these years incredible resistant to rules.

At the age of 73 his face, with those roofshaped eyebrows, the glint in the eyes, the teeth-baring smile, calls to mind all of his most famous performances: the manipulative Mc Murphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, mad Jack in The Shining, the drunken George in Easy Rider and commitment-phobe Garrett in Terms Of Endearment.

Jacks partying is legendary he indulged himself during the 60’s and 70’s. Debauchery, round-the-clock partying, drinks, drugs, sex, beautiful, hot, willing girls and weekly orgies were a regular feature at his Mulholland Drive home, set in the Hollywood Hills, it is here where director Roman Polanski (“Chinatown” and “Rosemary’s Baby”) allegedly bedded a 13-year-old girl, resulting in Polanski’s 1977 trial, conviction, and subsequent self-exile in Europe.

He experiences with LSD, Cocaine, Marijuana and alcohol throughout his career and is often quoted “Being stoned has helped me creatively [with] writing … it’s easier to entertain yourself mentally.” It was only by the late 80s and 90s that Jack’s drug use came to a halt due to physical problems and grief over the deaths of several close friends.

Being famous and wild brought with it women and Jack loved women!

It is reported that he has slept with over 2000 women his lovers have included actresses and models such as Michelle Phillips, Bebe Buell, Janice Dickinson Lara Flynn Boyle, Anjelica Huston, Kate Moss and Rebecca Broussard.

Jack Nicholson is the man every man wants to be and every woman wants to try just once!

Robert Downey, Jr. (RDJ) Brat to fully fledged megastar

A

t the age of 48 RDJ has packed a lot into his lifeline. He may have cleaned up his act now, but back in the 90’s he was indeed a wild child. As a child, RDJ was surrounded by drugs. His father, a writer, director and drug addict, allowed Downey to use marijuana at the tender age of six an act both regret.

During his childhood Downey had minor roles in his father’s films he made his film debut playing a puppy in his father’s film Pound and then at seven appeared in the surrealist Greaser’s Palace. “When my dad and I would do drugs together, it was like him trying to express his love for me in the only way he knew how.” — Robert Downey, Jr.

Despite developing a full blown addiction by his early teens, RDJ’s career continued to grow in spite of his drug use and trouble with the law.

From 1996 to 2001 RDJ was arrested several times related to his drug use and risky behaviour, including an arrest for possession of cocaine, heroin, and an unloaded .357 Magnum handgun while speeding down Sunset Boulevard. His unruly behaviour didn’t end there RDJ on three years’ probation for the previously mentioned incident, famously or infamously stumbled into his neighbour’s house and fell asleep on their child’s bed, combined with other felonies he was sentenced to four years in jail.

He was released after one year and as luck would have it immediately joined the cast of Ally MacBeal playing Ally’s love interest.

People naturally ate up everything he did and this stint was no exception. Unfortunately, RDJ was still in the throes of addiction and had not yet reached that point of ‘rock-bottom’. He relapsed pretty hard (two arrests, one involving walking around aimlessly barefoot and high on cocaine in Culver City) and lost his spot on Ally MacBeal.

Now at rock bottom, something clicked RDJ was looking at either a long stint in prison or rehab and had, had enough and as the saying goes the rest of the story is history. After five years of substance abuse, arrests, rehab, and relapses, RDJ was finally ready to work toward a full recovery from drugs and a return to his career.

RDJ has fully recovered and has been sober since 2001. He’s completely revived his career, playing a very sexy Sherlock Holmes and starring in one of the largest franchises for Marvel as the leading man Tony Stark/Iron Man. Maybe a leopard can change its spots!

Apply a small amount in the morning and evening over the entire face with a light, upward motion or tap directly on dark spots.

New York City’s most sought after makeup artist.

M

ake-up artist Donyale McRae’s multifaceted career spans over three decades. His professional career has taken him to Milan, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and the UK. His work can be seen on the Covers of every major magazine, both in the US and Europe.

His television work has included the 74th and 79th annual Academy Awards, Project Runway, Project Accessory, The Dave Chapelle Show, the Grammy Legends telecast, the 38th annual Grammy Awards, Royal Pains, Doctor Who and the show of the moment Boardwalk Empire.

Venturing into film he is currently working on upcoming titles; The Wolf of Wall Street staring Leonardo diCaprio and Noah starring Russell Crowe.

Sunsearch Magazine caught up with Donyale McRae and took the opportunity to ask him what it’s like to work with some of the industry’s biggest names, what’s next season look and what will it entail and how can we achieve it..

Hi, Donyale thank you for taking time out of your very busy and hectic day to speak with us, you’ve had an incredible career - what have been your highlights thus far?

Thanks for reaching out.

There have been many highlights in my career, it’s funny how some happen every day; I guess when you admit that your profession has chosen you, you make it an error to call it work when I look back the two weeks I spent all night in almost sub zero weather to film “I am Legend” for will smith makes sense.

Two Highlights that come to mind are the Academy Awards Openings. Most Artists are thrilled to be doing just one of the Divas walking down the red carpet; In my case it lasted 3 days and I did every nominee, in every category.

Then I was asked to do it once more for the 79th Oscars!!! Indeed this was a highlight. Another was working on a upcoming movie called Black Nativity, shot in NYC with Forrest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, and Jennifer Hudson. I recall being moved to tears daily listening to the music and interpreting African Paintings onto the Dancers Wow… So what made you go into the makeup industry?

May I say it started with my love of photography at 11 years of age. I could never re-create the beauty of a flower, or a sunset, so it became my mission to make people beautiful. On another level I must say I love being around people and finding the best in them.

What better gift to a person than to make them

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

A smile is the best makeup any girl can wear..... feel and look great even just for a moment.

I believe we are all better people when we give something of joy and confidence to another.

You’ve work across a broad spectrum. Which element of your job do you most enjoy; shoots, shows or film?

Can I say I enjoy them ALL... I’ve been blessed to experience so many magical moments I can honestly say nothing beats the laughter on a comedy series, or the sheer jaw dropping awe of a huge movie production when you are a member of a team where you witness people perfecting their craft or when you’re standing in the wings of a theatre when an orchestra swells and the singer is about to take the stage, or when I’m sitting and Chatting with Liza Minnelli about Studio 54 in the old days.....

I’m just grateful that I am doing a job that I just LOVE… You’ve worked with a host of famous people from top models to Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Will Smith, and currently Leonardo Dicaprio. If possible can you tell us who is your favourite celebrity to work with and why?

I have many, many favourites. I was the first person to air brush Leonardo DiCaprio for the Oscar opening. I would have to say my many guests over the 5 years that I headed Project Runway included just about every designer alive in the fashion business.

One highlight that does springs to mind was chatting to Roberto Cavalli about his boat in Capri, but my favourite was at the Oscars, when Helen Mirren came and sat down next to me and said “OK what you can do for an old broad who’s had too much to drink!!!”

She was heaven because she’s not an old broad far from it and her human element just shines.

You worked on the fabulous Broadway Empire, a series set in the 1920’s a period of gangsters molls and glamour. Visually this series looked fantastic. Old school glamour has become something of a sensation of late and it’s not easy to recreate. What specific products in your kit did you rely on most to create the looks and what cheats can you divulge?

Boardwalk Empire is one of my true loves of which I was part of an amazing team of professionals.

Now what was in my kit? The skin tended to be very pale due to the availability of products during that time. Pan cake make-up was used so today I used a water based Airbrush Foundation from Dinaire in shades of Porcelain and Natural Beige...

When I started the make-up the first thing I had to check was the social class of the character, Lower, middle class or upper because this determined what colours to use.

The eye charts come from a company called vis-art and were all matte shades of eye shadows the eyebrows had to take on an elongated drop and rounded look. To achieve this I used a brown or taupe powder and the Lips according to social class becomes a painted Clara Bow like, cupids bow to the upper lips.

beauty

You’ve worked with a number of beautiful women, what in your opinion makes a woman beautiful?

BEAUTY IS IN THE DETAIL....

What makes a woman alluring is the selfconfidence one eludes. It’s a spirit of knowing you’ve taken the time to fully express yourself and realize your full potential I’m sure you get asked this question often but what staple items should every woman have?

A great BB Cream a wonderfully matched foundation and the desire to start your day with a divine lipstick or lip stain. And don’t forget eyebrow palette and a natural eye shadow.

We’re heading into the party season with Christmas and New Year’s on the horizon so what looks should be rocking by day & night so we stand out in the crowd?

With the all-out glamour of today’s period TV shows and movies, take you own personal cue and make a check list because it’s all about DRAMA..(So Create It).

Like all women I hate change, “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” but it seems I’m stuck in a rut with my make-up, I’ve worn the same products throughout my twenties and now into my thirties. What piece of advice could you give to all us women who want to look fabulous but are just too scared to take the plunge and try something new?

Approach your makeup like your shoes!!! I trust your not clunking around in your 80’s dance slippers? And to hell with this comfort excuse, divinity is not comfortable and neither is fashion.

Treat yourself to a consultation at your local beauty department to get a perfect colour match foundation. It’s all about the perfect base! Add an Ox Blood Lip colour or True Hollywood siren / Old Blue red stain and don’t forget your eyebrows, they will NOT be fierce unless you deal with them. They frame the face and complete the look...

Be BOLD and take into consideration the colouring and texture of your face will have changed over time and like your shoes so must you.

Now Rock It and OWN and Control the Drama around you...

Sunsearch, it’s been my pleasure...Lets do this again!!!!

ow that Cinderella’s fairy godmother no longer exists, the couturier must be the magician”, said Christian Dior.

From Monsieur Dior’s extravagant parties in Granville, his childhood home, to the Parisian balls of the Roaring Twenties, the couturier was profoundly fascinated by the transformative qualities of the ball gown and the fantasy of a fabulous fete.

Now, Dior debuts a make up collection inspired by Dior’s love for entertaining: The limited edition Palette Grand Bal, four new shades of Diorific, Dior’s most haute couture lipstick, two new shades of Ultra-Gloss and four new shades of Dior Vernis.

Brown Eyes:

Blue Eyes:

Green Eyes:

Brown eyed girls are really lucky since they can experiment with all kinds of colours and makeup looks.

When selecting makeup colours, consider the effect you want to achieve . Teal, turquoise and even pink eye-shadows will emphasize blue eyes and make them look bigger, while khaki, camel and champagne works well for a more natural look.

For bringing out green eyes that have a touch of brown and hazel, pick warm colours such as deep purples, gold, peach, apricot and pink shades.

The best colours for accenting your eyes are deep shades of brown, plum, blue, gold, purple, and intense green. Use shades darker than your eye colour for making a dramatic look and shades that are lighter than your eye colour for creating a subtle, day look.

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

Metallic smokey makeup is the best choice for evenings. If you want to create an intense contrast choose grey or lavender palettes for a night look.

If you have intensive light green eyes, you are allowed to use all shades of green, going from lighter colours on the top to darker, forest greens to your eyelids. For making your eyes visually bigger use exactly the same shade of green as your eye colour and apply 2 or more layers of mascara.

I

n, the past, autumn has been the season when makeup takes a more dramatic turn with bold, dark colours and graphic eye looks, this autumn is no different.

Metallic eyes and nudes on lips were one of the biggest trends on fall/winter catwalks, and this makeup tendency continues to live both on the catwalks and off. Be it simple or smokey; gold, silver, bronze or even blue, metallic eyes is the best makeup for celebrating festive nights or for day looks, but in a simpler, calmer version.

Here we take a look at what eye colour you should be rocking this festive season.

LOVE THE WAY YOU LOOK

rew Barrymore has added one more line to her already impressive resume.

The actress, producer, wife, and new mom of Olive recently launched her beauty line, Flower.

With her just-launched makeup line, you no longer have to spend a fortune to get the quality cosmetics you want and deserve.

“I grew up in a makeup chair,” says Barrymore, who jumped at the chance to level beauty’s playing field by offering smart formulas and a flattering color palette at a thoroughly reasonable price (everything in the collection averages approx $15).

So how does she make quality cosmetics affordable?Where other beauty brands spend a vast percentage of the cost of their products on advertising, Drew, as an owner of the brand, takes pride in promoting Flower, which in turn allows her to put all of her resources into the formulas and packaging, and not into advertising.

oothbrush, walrus, painter’s brush, lampshade, horseshoe, chevron, cookie duster, lip sweater, man pelt, these are all names for what’s more commonly known as the moustache.

Over the last few years, the moustache has been enjoying a resurgence thanks in-part to Movember, the month-long campaign aimed to raise funds and awareness about men’s health, notably prostate cancer and, more recently, mental health issues.

The Movement “Mo” short for moustache was started in Australia in 2004 and has already more than 1.9 million people participating in the cause around the world.

Founders of the Movember movement hope to change the face of men’s health, both literally and figuratively, in changing the stigma’s and attitudes towards men’s health to get people talking about this sometimes uncomfortable topic of prostate cancer which is the No. 2 killer of men in terms of cancer.

The goal quite simply is to grow a moustache, on the 31st October men are asked to shave their faces clean and register at Movember.com. Over the next 30 days, these “Mo Bros” selflessly search for sponsorship for their mo-growing efforts, all while grooming, trimming and waxing their brand new lip sweater into something stylish they can be proud of.

So gentleman supporting a noteworthy cause has never been easier, put your razors down for 30 days and inspire people to start talking about men’s health.

Health benefits of jogging & running Running is very good for your health. It provides a great cardiovascular workout, strengthening and toning your muscles. Regular jogging gives better overall physical condition as well as some other health benefits, including mental benefits such as relaxation and reduction of anxiety. Most importantly for many, running is a good way to lose weight and generally get fitter.

Regular Running and Jogging Regular running and jogging is a good way to improve your health and fitness. You do not need to become a marathon runner to benefit greatly from running. Many people are concerned about long-term damage to joints such as knees, ankles, and hips, as a result of running. However, with good quality running shoes and a sensible approach, the risks are minimal, and the benefits of being fitter outweigh those possible risks.

Jogging for just an hour a week can increase your life expectancy by around six years, reveal scientists. Even better news is that a gentle jog is better for you than any sort of extreme workout. Researchers found that jogging at a slow or average pace for one or two hours per week can increase the life expectancy of men by 6.2 years and women by 5.6 years, reducing the risk of death by 44 per cent.

Jogging makes the heart stronger. It increases the capacity of the blood circulation and of the respiratory system. This is essential for maintaining good fitness. It also speeds up the digestive system and can help to relieve digestive problems. Many people who live a sedentary lifestyle develop digestive problems that can be improved with a healthier diet and some regular exercise.

Does jogging help you to lose weight?

Jogging makes you burn fat and thereby help’s to lose weight. In addition to increasing metabolism, jogging is an effective way to burn more calories, which helps you lose weight. If calories consumed in food are less than calories spent during exercise and other daily activities, you will lose weight. It is impossible not to! Many people have learned how to lose belly fat by starting a running program.

Jogging helps to reduce stubborn belly fat.

Stubborn fat can be very hard to shift, but a running program can really help to cut down on the last of your stubborn fat. The key is to think long-term and always work on your fitness.

Change can take a long time to come but the end result it much improved fitness and strength which makes maintaining a healthy weight so much easier.

If you suffer from poor appetite, jogging will improve your appetite. Along with all other forms of exercise – the harder you work, the more you need to eat to repair your muscles and refuel them. When you start to run longer distances you

will start to eat to fuel your body, and may even find that you need to eat more food everyday, than you did when you were overweight. As you develop your running you need to ensure that you are eating well, so read up on some nutrition advice for runners.

Jogging for Stronger Bones and Muscles Jogging will strengthen the muscles and bone density of your legs, hips and back. Long distance runners have very strong legs, even though they often look very thin and weak. Running does not produce bulky muscles, like weight training or even circuit training does, but it does increase leg strength. Also, the constant impact caused during running can increase bone density, so long as you follow a healthy diet.

Running Improves Sleep Jogging makes you sleep better. Also, if you exercise well, sleep comes much easier. One of the most important factors for improving fitness after exercise and diet is getting adequate sleep.

Overtraining can occur if you do not rest properly.

Jogging and Colds and Flu Research carried out by Professor Mike Gleeson from Loughborough University and presented

to the Association for Science Education (ASE) Conference in January 2011 found that gentle aerobics, such as jogging, helps to ward off colds and flu by up to 33%. However, running long distances and training for a marathon will make you around 6 times more likely to pick up a virus.

It is not just jogging that helps to boost the immune system, a daily brisk walk has the same effect. The research found that most types of intensive exercise increase the chances of catching a cold. This is not really a new finding as many athletes and runners have been well aware of this all their lives!

When running barefoot you run on the balls of the feet rather than the heels. Your toes naturally spread out to help grip the ground and provide support. You will lean forward and bend your knees slightly to allow this, but it will come very naturally very quickly.

Barefoot Running: Fitness Fad and the Natural Way

It is estimated that over 60% of all runners are injured at any one time, and most of these injuries are caused by the “heel strike”. When the heel strikes the ground first, there is no natural cushioning and all the impact travels up the legs to the spine. This does not happen in a front footed running position. Some runners have managed to cure their shin-splints problems with barefoot running.

Running has always been one of the most affordable ways to get fit and lose weight, as all you need is a pair of running shoes and some loose clothing. Now some people are taking running one step further and making even bigger savings. They are running barefoot.

Barefoot running is certainly not a new phenomenon. The human body is built for running, and we started running long before Nike made their first training shoe. Those that are passionate about running barefoot actually believe that barefoot running is better for the body, as it causes fewer injuries, which results in the feet becoming stronger, helping to cushion the body on impact. Also, as a slightly different running style is required, less stress is placed on the spine.

Ken Saxton was so impressed with his progress after throwing out his old shoes and going barefoot that he now runs a barefoot running website – www.runningbarefoot.org. He strongly believes that many running injuries are caused by running shoes. Even shoes that are tailored for an individual foot can cause injuries.

Barefoot Ken now runs 10 marathons a year, and his joint problems seem to have cleared up since he threw out his running shoes.

Barefoot running is now so popular that you can buy yes you guessed it, barefoot shoes!

Famous Barefoot Runners: Zola Budd, the Olympic athlete from South African, used to run barefooted.

Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia won the 1960 Olympic marathon barefoot.

“We are very proud with the

Our commitment is to offer our patients the highest reliability and confidence”.

Japanese V- Lift (Dermo-lifting) The Japanese V-Lift is a revolutionary antiwrinkle facelift and skin tightening procedure that has taken the beauty world by storm!

A unique technology where fine threads called polydioxanone (PDO) that were commonly used in surgery are inserted into targeted areas under the skin to stimulate skin tissue. As a result, the skin tissues create new tissue fibroblasts and collagen, which produces a tightening effect from inside out. When sagging skin is tightened, it creates a more sculpted ‘V-shape’ face as well as smooth, silky skin.

The Japanese V-Lift can be applied to anywhere on the body, including the face, eye corners, 52

cheeks, double chin, neck, forehead, laugh lines, forearm and abdomen and it can use to heighten the nose bridge, giving it a natural elevated look.

treatment in Korea, Japan and other parts of Asia.

Traditional lifting treatments are an involved procedure that are invasive as the surgeon pinpoints the incision to be made, inserts a thread in a certain direction and then fixes it by pulling the sagging skin. The area of application is limited due to treatment by thread and there is a recovery period.

The entire procedure takes about 30min – 1 hour (depending on treatment area), where an anaesthetic cream is applied on the treatment area prior to the procedure. The doctor then deftly inserts the threads under the skin.

There is hardly any pain, bleeding or swelling and the patient can go back to work after the procedure. As the threads are dissolvable, they are slowly absorbed into the body safely.

The Japanese V -Lift has none of the drawbacks associated with traditional lifting technology; there is no general or local anaesthesia required, and its procedure time is short, hence dubbed as the ‘lunch time’

The results are visible from the first month, and will continue to improve for up to three months, with minimal side effects: swelling, redness, or a hematoma, which disappear within hours this treatment is ideal as a less evasive procedure.

Dr. Ana Téllez (Aesthetic Specialist & MD) Offers a unique and exclusive insight into the new advances in beauty treatments available at Medicina Estética Fractional Radiofrequency: Also known as skin resurfacing is a unique skin treatment utilizing bipolar radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate photo-damaged and wrinkled skin. It improves the texture, tone and tightening of the skin along with reducing pigmentation of epidermis. Simultaneously, volumetric deep dermal heating reaches the collagen fibres causing immediate and long term tightening effect. There is a significant perceived reduction in the depth of acne scars and stretch marks.

This technique is used on the; face, neck, lips, deep creases and commissures. It can be used for the skin tension, acne scarring, or the marks left behind by chickenpox. It can also be used to help combat cellulite, treat body sagging & stretch marks, bags under the eyes, wrinkles, and reduce discoloration of the skin.

What’s unique about this is, it can be used on all skin types without risks of hyperpigmentation.

This is a bipolar RF energy that uses your own body’s natural impedance to generate heat. RF is similar to optical energy in that it interacts with tissue to produce a thermal change. The device creates micro-thermal zones and leaves the healthy skin around for rapid healing. Not only does this treatment deliver RF energy deeper, but it offers a quick recovery. Mild to moderate treatments can be tailored to individual needs.

Even with a single treatment one will start to see immediate visible improvement in texture, glow and photo-damage.

This treatment can be done alone or can be combined with your own platelet rich plasma growth factors for enhanced results.

Offering Experience, Piece of Mind & Medical Professionalism Plasma rich in growth factors: A treatment loved by many sports personalities, celebrities and even royalty!

Plasma rich in growth treatment is one of the stars of anti-aging treatments for the facial rejuvenation and younger, healthier looking skin.

A innovative technique to isolate and use growth factors (proteins) present in the patient’s own blood to enhance, accelerate and stimulate skin tissue regeneration. It produces an attenuation of wrinkles and increased thickness and smoothness of the skin giving you the appearance of younger, firmer skin.

To ward off common ailments, why not turn to your kitchen into your drugstore. Sitting ideally on many shelves in kitchens across the world are bottles of herbs. Unbeknown to many these natural condiments offer an impressive assortment of healing properties.

Next time you feel sick don’t instantly head for your drugstore to stock up on Paracetamol or Asprin, because help may be a little closer to hand stacked away within your kitchen cupboard. In years gone by, our grandparents and their grandparents before them often turned to herbs and spices to ward off common ailments, and these time-tested remedies have proven safe and effective and above all they do so without exacting a heavy toll on our bodies.

THYME

Thyme is hugely antibacterial; Thyme has been used since the earliest times as a medicinal herb. Before the days of refrigeration, a drop of thyme oil was placed in a gallon of milk to keep it from spoiling.

ROSEMARY

One of its best uses of Thyme is as a cough and cold remedy, this is because Thyme has a pronounced effect on the respiratory system; in addition to fighting infections, it dries mucous membranes and relaxes spasms of the bronchial passages.

The ability of thyme to relax bronchial spasms makes it effective for coughs, bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. It’s drying effect makes it useful to reduce the abundant watering of the eyes and nose associated with hay fever and other allergies. And gargling with thyme tea can reduce swelling and pus formation in tonsillitis.

Thyme also helps combat parasites, such as hookworms and tapeworms, within the digestive tract.

OREGANO

Rosemary has a stimulating quality with a particular action of increasing cerebral circulation.

It also contains the potent antioxidant carnosic acid, which has protective effects on brain cells and can possibly help those with Alzheimer’s.

More popularly known for its aromatic and balsamic flavour Oregano, is more commonly used as flavouring in Mediterranean and Mexican foods. Used as a herbal medicine from as early a time as the Egyptian times, Oregano has been traditionally used as herbal remedy for skin burns, cuts and bruises. Because of the minty flavour of oregano, it is also used as herbal remedy for sore throat, asthma, colds, coughs and flu.

FENNEL

Fennel also acts as an excellent digestive aid to relieve abdominal cramps, gas and bloating. The fresh stems of fennel can be eaten much like celery the seeds add a lovely anise flavour to fish and other dishes. Fennel seeds (as well as anise) contain creosol and alphapinene, chemicals that help to loosen congestion and make coughs more productive. Fennel also calms the dry, hacking cough of bronchitis.

The Greek name for fennel was marathon derived from “maraino”, to grow thin, reflecting the widely held belief that fennel affected weight loss. Fennel’s ancient reputation as a weight loss aid still holds up today. Drinking a cup of fennel seed tea 15 minutes before eating a heavy meal seems to take the edge off your appetite. Fennel also tunes up digestion, helping to turn food into energy instead of fat.

Women who are going through menopause or are experiencing menstrual problems may benefit from the estrogenic properties of fennel. It has a balancing effect on the female reproductive system and increases the flow of body energy.

Extracts of fennel have estrogenic properties that may benefit women going through the hormonal imbalances caused by menopause.

From the Latin word rosmarinus (dew of the sea), rosemary has long been associated with its ability to aid memory. It is said that scholars in the past wore fresh rosemary sprigs in their hair to help recall their studies.

Rosemary tea is ideal for helping to stimulate the brain, or even just the smell of rosemary can help with concentration.

CINNAMON

Surely the most sweet and delicious of all the spices, cinnamon not only delights our taste buds but also acts as a wonderfully invigorating tonic to enliven body and mind and as an immune- enhancing aid to the body’s perennial fight against infection. By invigorating the nervous system, cinnamon can improve our resistance to the stresses of everyday life helping to fight against fatigue and at the same time relaxing and reducing tension and anxiety.

Cinnamon is a wonder spice as it helps relieve and soothe a multitude of ailments. This everyday spice can nourish your skin, boost your memory, and keep the pounds away. Cinnamon has extremely high anti-oxidant activity, and the oil of cinnamon has strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

Cinnamon is also a great source of manganese, fibre, iron, and calcium. As a result, it has been used as an effective home remedy for: Reducing blood sugar levels and treating Type 2 Diabetes, Lowering cholesterol, Aiding digestion, Treating diarrhoea, Curing the common cold, Reducing arthritis pain, Boosting memory and cognitive function, Treating toothaches, Eliminating bad breath and Curing headaches and migraine pain.

TUMERIC

Western science confirms that turmeric is a first rate anti-inflammatory herb. It contains at least two chemicals, curcumin and curcuminoids, that act to decrease inflammation much like NSAID COX-2 that inhibit the production of prostaglandins which are linked to arthritic inflammation. This antiinflammatory effect may be why consumption of turmeric is also connected to a reduced occurrence of cancers, cataracts and Alzhemimers, memory and concentration., and has been shown to be an effective pain reliever in cases of rheumatoid arthritis.

Modern studies confirm ancient wisdom that those with psoriasis can especially benefit from daily turmeric. Studies show that the curcumin in turmeric acts to disrupt the cycle of skin plaque formation.

Turmeric powder mixed in warm water has been a used as a home remedy for cancer sores for some time. It has many medicinal properties such as antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity that could explain why it is a useful dental and oral care treatment.

Turmeric is such an exemplary herb offering a wide array of health benefits at a low cost. With this is mind Turmeric deserves a prominent place in almost anyone’s health routine as a daily supplemental and a healthy culinary spice.

The health benefits of honey

58

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

www.wall.alphacoders.com

The wonderful healing qualities of honey have been known since ancient times, honey was the most used medicine in ancient Egypt it was deemed so precious that it was used as a form of currency, the Roman legions treated their wounds with honey and athletes who participated in the ancient Olympic Games ate honey and dried figs to enhance their sports performance.

The list of honey’s beneficial functions is a long one. Honey increases calcium absorption; can increase haemoglobin count and treat or prevent anaemia caused by nutritional factors; can help arthritic joints, when combined with apple cider vinegar; fights colds and respiratory infections of all kinds; can help to boost gastrointestinal ulcer healing; works as a natural and gentle laxative; aids constipation, allergies and obesity; provides an array of vitamins and minerals; and supplies instant energy without the insulin surge caused by white sugar.

Here are some more ways to utilize the healing power of honey:

Prevent cancer and heart disease

Heal wounds and burns

Honey contains flavonoids, antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease.

External application of honey has been shown to be as effective as conventional treatment. It cools, removes pain and aids fast healing without scarring. It is speculated that the drying effect of the simple sugars and honey’s anti-bacterial nature combine to create these healing powers.

Reduce ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorder Recent research shows that honey treatment may help disorders such as ulcers and bacterial gastroenteritis. This may be related to the 3rd benefit…

Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-fungal All honey is antibacterial, because the bees add an enzyme that makes hydrogen peroxide.

Increase athletic performance.

Ancient Olympic athletes would eat honey and dried figs to enhance their performance. This has now been verified with modern studies, showing that it is superior in maintaining glycogen levels and improving recovery time than other sweeteners.

Probiotic Some varieties of honey possess large amounts of friendly bacteria. This includes up to 6 species of lactobacilli and 4 species of bifid bacteria. This may explain many of the “mysterious therapeutic properties of honey.”

Beautiful skin Honey acts as an anti-aging agent, and moisturizer. Additionally, it contains anti-microbial properties and natural antioxidants which help to protect the skin from sun rays and facilitates the skin’s ability to rejuvenate and refresh exhausted looking skin, thus leaving it soft and silky.

Honey helps with coughs, particularly buckwheat honey.

Honey also has the ability to absorb and retain moisture and this helps in keeping the skin well hydrated, fresh and supple. It is known that ancient women used honey and milk to keep the skin youthful, radiant, and smooth. Use these masks to give your skin that oomph.

Balance the 5 elements

Shiny conditioned hair

Honey has been used in Ayurveda medicine in India for at least 4000 years and is considered to affect all three of the body’s primitive material imbalances positively. It is also said to be useful in improving eyesight, weight loss, curing impotence and premature ejaculation, urinary tract disorders, bronchial asthma, diarrhoea, and nausea.

Honey is a humectant (which means that it helps to retain moisture) and an emollient (meaning that it softens and soothes), which “naturally” makes it a great conditioner and moisturizer. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals, so using it in your hair care routine can leave your tresses looking shinier, feeling softer, and in an overall more healthy condition. Recent studies have also shown that because of honey’s antibacterial and antioxidant properties, it can also prove beneficial in keeping your scalp healthy and promote hair growth!

Reduce cough and throat irritation

Honey is referred as “Yogavahi” since it has a quality of penetrating the deepest tissues of the body. When honey is used with other herbal preparations, it enhances the medicinal qualities of those preparations and also helps them to reach the deeper tissues.

Blood sugar regulation Even though honey contains simple sugars, it is NOT the same as white sugar or artificial sweeteners. Its exact combination of fructose and glucose actually helps the body regulate blood sugar levels. Some honeys have a low hypoglycaemic index, so they don’t jolt your blood sugar.

Osteoporosis Research has shown that a teaspoon of honey per day aids calcium utilization and prevents osteoporosis – probably not a bad idea for anyone over 50.

If you want to get the all the goodness from your honey, make sure it is pure and raw. Raw honey contains vitamins, minerals and enzymes not present in refined honey.

Types of Honey (most popular)

• Alfalfa

• Blueberry

• Buckwheat

• Clover

• Manuka

• Orange Blossom

• Wildflower There are at least 40 types – each one has distinctive taste and unique properties.

As a rule darker honey tends to have higher antioxidant levels

If you want to balance the masculine feel, then the best choice so far is to style the oversize coat with a chic office blouse, statement necklace, an A-line skirt and classic heels or you can always go for a casual style by teaming coat with denim shirt and sophisticated jumper teamed with casual pants and low heel shoes.

Though the dropped shoulder coat is nothing new, the Fall 2013 runways reminded us all how much we love the androgynous style. After months of light sundresses, the oversized topcoat almost makes us excited for the cooler temperatures ahead (or at least for the fashions that come with the seasonal change).

iaget lights up winter

The symbolic Piaget Rose, Possession and Piaget Heart collections whisks you off into the magic of the festive season.

Swirling flurries of precious stones and watches with magical hours await your decision to put a sparkle in the eye of your loved ones.

Piaget Rose Roses have always been a part of Yves Piaget’s life and of the history of his famous family firm. They have served as muses in accompanying and inspiring its creations such as these ultra-feminine models that welcome splashes of colour into their gold and diamond bouquets.

This pendant with its entirely diamondpaved stylised petals resembles a lifelike luminous flower scintillating against the skin.

Six diamonds set on the chain prolong this sparkling effect.

This gold ring lights up the night with its dazzling beauty. White and pink shine with equal intensity, as Piaget celebrates the magic of a regal, blooming rose embracing a tourmaline.

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

Piaget draws inspiration from asymmetrical elegance for the design of this ring with diamond-set rose gold petals. Two softpetalled flowers associated with a poetic design create a refined classical effect on the finger they gently encircle.

Possession Desire and passion pervade the Possession collection with its two inseparable rings that whirl those who wear them into an endless spiral of love

Limelight Magic Hour A nod to precious hours, the Magic Hour watch makes light of time with a blend of daring and refinement, transforming each and every moment into a delightfully entrancing experience.

Three ways of wearing it, three styles, three moods‌ the Magic Hour watch reveals the magic of a dial that changes face in step with its owner’s moods. When placed horizontally, the generously open ellipse displays a free-spirited expression of harmonious perfection that transcends ephemeral trends.

The slender, delicate bracelet combines the supple nature of a dainty chain with the strength of the diamond. A round, understated and contemporary circle engraved with the Possession logo forms a poetic bond, while a diamond twirls around the wrist like a passionate tie from which one cannot break free.

A soft caress turns the oval sideways to enjoy a mischievous break, while another 45 degreerotation allows the watch to reveal its dazzling diamond-set gold numerals. This captivating timepiece thus becomes an authentic jewellery watch. So Magic‌ so Piaget

With its two rings symbolising loving ties, the Possession pendant embodies passion. Like two inseparable hearts, its two circles are intimately bound together. The first is engraved with the Possession logo and adorned with a diamond, while the second sparkles with the fire of multiple diamonds. Two pendants in one, dedicated to a one and only love.

Piaget Heart Since its creation, the Piaget Heart collection has been telling the story of love in its most delicate form.

When a flamboyant heart coils around the finger in a flurry of diamonds, the result is excessively glamorous and totally Piaget. This spectacular ring reinterprets the mesmerising curves of the Piaget heart.

Two inseparably linked rings turning freely around each other in a perpetual movement surrounded by diamonds. A dance that remains the true signature feature of this unique jewellery creation.

74

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

This pendant with its unique curve is imbued with the extravagance of exceptional love stories. A jewellery creation featuring radiant curves that light up a dĂŠcolletage. Very much a star and resolutely couture by nature, the Piaget heart plays with the brilliance of its diamonds and captures every spark of passion.

A NAME THAT CAN STAND ALONE Bulgari, Bulgari Catene Bulgari, Bulgari Catene is as much a jewel as a timepiece, a showcase of watchmaking magnificently sculpted in gold. This most famous of wristwatches bears the hallmarks of the celebrated Italian jeweller whose heritage has shaped each of its new models, including Catene with its chain links.

Assembled into the legendary bracelet that coils twice around the wrist, a favourite signature of the brand, they interweave with deceptive simplicity. Each of these links, some set with diamonds, is dazzling proof of the expertise deployed by Bulgari’s jewellers and watchmakers. Daring but sensual, elegant but extravagant, Catene gives women a new way to wear time like a second skin. A distinctly unconventional, and so very Bulgari, pink-gold jewel.

The men’s collection for Prada Fall / Winter is clean and colorful, in one word: essential.

The lines are simple, linear, precise. Miuccia Prada was clearly chasing perfection this season, although at a first glance her fall 2013 menswear collection was an ode paid to simplicity this doesn’t necessarily mean it lacked appeal or even sophistication for that matter.

Miuccia Prada is a visionary who finds comfort and allurement in naturalness rather than eccentricity.

84

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

At Milan Fashion week designers set the trends for the coming winter months.

This season Prada set a different tone.

Miuccia Prada, said “in this collection, everything is apparently normal, because I’ve gotten away from the glamor in favor of something more human’.

This new collection of colourful jackets in Red, light blue, light green, beige, sky blue, gray and black are the key colours, along with the variations of leather garments.

Red, light blue, light green, beige, sky blue, gray and black of course: these are the key colours, along with the variations of leather garments, sorted by man Prada.

Rather then presenting a series of models dressed in one color, Prada’s autumn / winter look was broken down into compositions like a blue blazer, black pull and burgundy pants and a sky-colored, or red leather jacket, lilac sweater and grey trousers with tight a check.

These clothes are color blocked, presented in shades that have that vintage touch, that dazzles, capture and represent a bygone era when men’s fashion did not need frills, gems and precious details.

This collection is CLASSIC with a touch of RETRO showcasing trousers that barely touch the ankle, vintage leather jackets, and coloured pastels in shades such as light blue or pale green.

Fabulous at 50

Quintastic T

hey say that when you turn 50, your best years are behind you. So for most women reaching 50 is a milestone, you’ve had children, friends, lovers, husbands and divorces and headaches aplenty.

But somehow the women of today seem to have forgotten how to get old.

Smart and forward-looking despite having more yesterdays than tomorrows – they’re celebrating what Picasso called “the autumn of a woman’s life.”

With an increasing ageing population 50 has definitely become the new 30, at 50+ women have seen it all and are unyielding, undaunted and savagely unimpressed by anything the world has to throw at them “Been there – Done that!”

So with this new generation of Quintastics woman we take a look at how 50+ woman are redefining their lives.

Sharon Stone (55)

Carol Vorderman (52)

Kim Cattrall (57)

The Inverted Adolescents Late bloomers, this lot have become more attractive and successful as the years go on – which has the unfortunate side effect of making them reluctant to leave the party while it’s still in full swing. La Stone was unremarkable until her mid-30s, when her acting career exploded and she posed nude in Playboy. Having appeared topless on the cover of Paris Match, she is, one of the oldest women to grace the cover of Tatler.

On the dark side of the Inverted Adolescent category is Madonna. Madge is everything non-celebrity Quintastics should avoid. A “cougar” contrary to the myth propagated by these older women on the “hunt” for young blood, is not a compliment; neither is a “swoftie” (single women over 50 living it up in nightclubs and tweeting about their experiences on the internet.)

The Kooks

Tilda Swinton (52)

These women are simply weird, eccentric or plain both! Sometimes getting noticed for the wrong reasons but still making a statement. They don’t care what other people think because they have the confidence to hold.

Helena Bona Carter & Bjork (left) - both 47 - not quite there but both just had to be featured!

The Humorists These women quash their insecurities with humour – never trying to hide their laughter lines and often ridiculing themselves. Woman to be admired by all generations.

Jennifer Saunders (51

Ellen Degeneres (55)

Nature gives you the “ face you have at 20. Life shapes the face you have at 30. But at 50 you get the face you deserve Coco Chanel

”

Emma Thompson (50)

The Professionals By refusing, from the start, to devote all their energies to their looks, channelling them instead into being respected for what they do, these Quintastics have achieved enduring success.

A rare confidence in their own abilities and a pragmatic optimism is what sets these women apart. It is also the reason why they have not, like so many in the category above, resorted to cosmetic help (well maybe a little bit!)

Their collections are thought provoking and beautiful designed in their London studio, this jewellery collection utilises unparalleled craftsmanship when it comes to the design process, and a luxury approach which is synonymous with the Astley Clarke name.

WATCHES

CELSIUS X VI II - LeDix Furtif ______________________________________________________________________________ Celsius X VI II raises the cellphone to the rank of objet d’art. LeDix Furtif, the first mechanical mobile phone with a flying tourbillon and the brand’s signature ‘Remontage Papillon’ winding system, further enhances the technical and aesthetic feat already achieved.

Micro-mechanics draws inspiration from the technology used in stealth planes such as the B2 or F117. LeDix Furtif is the first cellphone with an all carbon-fibre structure. Sturdy but light, virile and yet discreet with its monochrome look, it is subtly imbued with a sense of energy and power. With each opening and closing of the phone, the ‘Remontage Papillon’ makes that unmistakable mechanical clicking sound expressing the energy the user is supplying to the watch mechanism. At its heart glides another technical instrument – the world’s most off-centred flying tourbillon. In an ultimate reference to its namesake military aircraft, it is swept over by a squadron of gold, platinum or aluminium inserts.

Available in three 8-piece limited editions with pink gold, platinum or black-toned inserts.

DESCRIPTION: Hand-wound, ‘Remontage Papillon” hinge, 330 parts, 21,600 vib/h, 100-hour power reserve, off-centre flying tourbillon mounted on shock-absorbers ____________________________________________________________________________ FUNCTIONS: Hours, minutes, seconds, and power-reserve indicator ____________________________________________________________________________ CASE: Clamshell phone, 49 mm Carbon fibre structure with polished, satin-brushed, shotblasted and “Clous de Paris” hobnail finishes ____________________________________________________________________________ DIAL: Satin-brushed with black gold finish Power-reserve indicator over a 200° sweep Three-dimensional hour-markers at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock 5 to 8 o’clock opening revealing the bridges and gear trains

SAINT HONORE PARIS

Royal Coloseo ___________________________________________________________________________________________ This model instantly intrigues observers and draws all eyes. Although the resemblance is not entirely obvious, there is a definite sense of déjà vu. That is doubtless because the Royal Coloseo revives the spirit of the Speed Boat model, bringing it firmly back to centre-stage on the watchmaking scene.

The newcomer retains all the charm of the stellar model from the year 2000s. Loyal to its tradition of innovation, Saint-Honoré has enriched it with its latest touch: the “Éclair™” (lightning bolt) touch. A magnificent bezel is thus enhanced by a unique “diamond-pavé effect” motif composed of three rows shining like diamonds and representing 267 distinctive assets. Associated with a finely decorated and gem-set mother-of-pearl dial, this impressive feat of fine craftsmanship catches the light at the slightest move of the wrist and sparkles like the precious stone itself. The redesigned case is adorned with a crown topped with a black onyx, the signature of the Coloseo line, and proves that one can command attention while measuring a dainty 37 mm in diameter. And since everything becomes it so well, the Royal Coloseo is fitted with a trendy leather strap or a steel mesh bracelet.

To be worn like a piece of jewellery!

MOVEMENT: Quartz _______________________________________________ FUNCTIONS: Hours, minutes, seconds and date _______________________________________________ CASE: PVD pink gold-plated steel, 38 mm “Éclair™” bezel and crown topped with a black onyx Sapphire crystal Water-resistant to 30 m / 3 ATM _______________________________________________ DIAL: White mother-of-pearl 8 diamond hourmarkers (0.05 cts) and 4 applied Roman numerals Date window at 6 o’clock _______________________________________________ BRACELET/STRAP: PVD pink gold-plated steel with matching folding clasp

CALATRAVA Réf. 5227 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The ultimate classic watch since 1932, the Calatrava has forged Patek Philippe’s reputation with its inimitable rounded lines. The new reference reflects the collection’s legendary identity codes, while opting for originality with its cover that detaches completely from the back of the timepiece and is rendered invisible by its inner hinge. Reference 5227 also symbolises unique know-how, exemplified by the 39 mm case with its concave bezel, slightly curving lugs and slender silhouette. The dial features a creamy lacquered shade and focuses on the essence of time: three hands plus the date. Finally, beneath this architectural expertise lies the in-house Calibre 324 S C with gold rotor illustrating the brand’s concern for details through its polished and bevelled bridges, its engraved finishes and its legendary precision.

MOVEMENT: Mechanical automatic, Calibre 324 S C, 213 parts, 29 jewels, 28,800 vib/h, 38 to 48-hour power reserve; 21k gold unidirectional rotor ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FUNCTIONS: Hours, minutes, seconds and date ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CASE: 18k pink, white or yellow gold, 39 mm Sapphire crystal and screw-down sapphire-crystal case back with invisible hinge Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DIAL: Cream-toned lacquered brass base 18k gold polished and facetted Dauphine hands Date window at 3 o’clock ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BRACELET/STRAP: Hand-sewn shiny black alligator with large scales (white gold version), shiny chocolate brown (yellow gold version) or shiny dark chestnut brown (pink gold version) with matching buckle

Happy Sport Medium Automatic __________________________________________ In 1993, Caroline Scheufele created what would become one of Chopard’s iconic timepieces, the Happy Sport. In 2013, to celebrate the anniversary of these freely moving diamonds that hover above exquisite dials, Chopard unveils the new Happy Sport Medium Automatic and at the same time adds a mechanical movement to the collection. This new interpretation has all the elegance and sophistication of the original Happy Sport. The silver-toned dial is embellished with a classic guilloché motif and wonderfully accentuates the sparkle of the seven moving diamonds. Turn it over, and the sapphire crystal back reveals the automatic mechanical movement with its straight-line “Côtes de Genève” motif. The 36mm steel case is set on an alligator strap.

MOVEMENT: Mechanical automatic, 25 jewels, 28,800 vib/h, 42-hour power reserve ___________________________________________________________________________________________ FUNCTIONS: Hours, minutes, seconds and date ___________________________________________________________________________________________ CASE: Stainless steel, 36 mm Steel crown set with a blue sapphire Anti-reflective sapphire crystal and transparent back Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ DIAL: Silver-toned and guilloché with 7 moving diamonds Rhodium-plated hands and Roman numerals Date window between 4 and 5 o’clock ___________________________________________________________________________________________ BRACELET/STRAP: Alligator with steel buckle

hristmas is fast approaching so why not get into the festive spirit this year with a visit to one or more Christmas Markets scattered across Europe.

Forget the hassle of frantic seasonal shopping in overcrowded city streets. The ambience of one of Europe’s advent markets encompasses everything a shopping centre experience does not – think decorated gingerbread men, candlelit carol singing, stocking-fillers of glass ornaments, wooden toys and porcelain dolls, and the occasional traditional treat to help you on your merry way.

Here we take a look at some of the oldest and most stunning European Christmas Markets for 2013

rague, Czech Republic 30th November 2013 - 12th January 2014

Christmas markets (Vanocni trh) are a key ingredient of the festive magic in the Czech Republic. And the Prague Christmas markets are most impressive, lighting up the city and bringing locals and tourists together to share in the spirit, in a true ‘winter wonderland’ setting.

The two best Vanocni trh are situated on the slopes of Wenceslas Square and in the Old Town Square. The markets consist of brightly decorated wooden huts selling traditional handcrafted products such as intricate glassware and jewellery, embroidered lace, wooden toys, metal-ware, ceramic plates and mugs, scented candles, beautifully dressed puppets and dolls, Christmas tree ornaments, and hats, gloves and scarves.

This picture perfect festive scene is complete with brightly decorated a wooden hut surrounding a giant glittering Christmas tree which is shipped in from the Krkonose Mountains in the North of the Czech Republic. It is erected at the Old Town Square and draped in a blaze of lights.

The tree is switched on every night around 5pm.

Set against Prague’s dark gothic skyline this is truly a spectacular sight.

Finally the Prague Christmas markets wouldn’t be complete without sampling the local gourmet cuisine delights with offerings of honeyed gingerbread, vánocvka (a braided pastry with raisins), and vosí hnízda (biscuits laiden with nuts and rum).

tockholm, Sweden 23rd November – 23rd December 2013

Christmas Markets or Advent markets in Sweden are extremely popular with locals and tourists alike and highlight many Swedish Christmas traditions, for example the consumption of glögg which is a hot spicy wine.

nearby. Outdoor stalls sell Swedish Christmas sweets, smoked sausages, reindeer meat, glögg and a wide range of Swedish handicrafts and other gifts.

Warm yourself with a glass of spicy mulled wine (glögg) and browse over the most gorgeous handicrafts and Christmas decorations. You can sample typical Swedish Christmas delicacies at the markets too so look out for smoked sausage, reindeer meat and traditional Swedish Christmas sweets.

At least four Xmas Markets take place within the city area of Stockholm, namely Skansen on the park island of Djurgården, which has the world’s oldest open-air museum where the Christmas market date back to 1903, Gamla Stan, commonly known as The Old Town just south of the Royal Palace, is, the oldest of the Swedish capital’s four festive markets. Cobblestone streets, chiming church bells and a wonderful aroma of roasted chestnuts will make you feel like you’ve walked on the set of A Christmas Carol.

The Liseburg Christmas Market which takes place in Gothenburg is reputed to be the largest in Sweden with over 60 stalls and an open air ice rink 106

openhagen, Denmark

There are a number of charming Christmas markets to enjoy in Denmark, but if you’re looking for the most famous of them all – offering a real Danish flavour head to Copenhagen and the Christmas Market of Tivoli Gardens.

Copenhagen is a Christmas city, not just because Greenland is the home of the ‘Julemand’ (Santa) but because this holiday is the most eagerly anticipated by all Danes who have passed down its simple pleasures and traditions from generation to generation.

Each year the Tivoli Gardens are transformed into a winter wonderland thanks to more than 500,000 fairy lights. Although the Tivoli Christmas Market has only been running only since 1994, it attracts more than a million visitors, an astonishing figure given that Denmark has a population of 5.5 million.

14th November – 31st December 2013

Stroll around the 60 colourfully painted stalls offering porcelain and wooden dolls while sipping on a warming glögg, (Danish mulled wine) which is laden with liquor, raisins and spices, followed by a hot apple dumpling to ward off the cold chills. Warm yourself with a cup of mulled wine (gløgg) and take your time picking out that perfect Danish design gift or decoration to take home.

The Russian theme, introduced last season, is still going strong this year, although Nordic touches have returned by popular demand. While the replica of St. Basil’s Cathedral remains, then, a traditional Father Christmas is back, residing in a nineteenth-century pantomime theatre, while stall decoration takes its lead from Danish and Scandinavian customs. The gardens also offer an ice rink, rollercoaster and theme park rides for those up for more than just a leisurely amble round the handicraft stalls. Based in the centre of the capital it attracts up to a million visitors, so expect crowds.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR The Christmas Market season starts as the Advent season descends upon Vienna. During Advent Vienna is a city of nostalgia and romance, concerts and nativity displays and traditional Christmas markets with over 25 markets ranging from the large to the small.

Steeped in history is Vienna’s Christkindlmarkt one of the most renowned Christmas markets in Europe dating back over seven hundred years.

Other classics include the Christmas market in front of City Hall, the traditional Viennese Christmas market on Freyung, and the markets at Spittelberg.

The aromas of candied fruits, cotton candy and other delicacies like Christmas punch and roasted chestnuts wafting around the small wooden market stalls still retain their magical power.

The Magic of Advent in Vienna during November and December complements the market in front of City Hall. The adjoining Rathauspark is a place of seasonal inspiration with festively adorned trees, ponyriding, trips on the Christkindl Express and fairy-tale scenes portrayed in artistically-arranged displays.

Magical Christmases have a dazzling, sparkly meaning for those in Brussels because the Christmas Markets at the Grand Place and Place St. Catherine’s area are filled to the brim with activities for children and adults. Temporary shopping chalets and even brassieres go up at the end of November and last for the entire month of December through to New Years.

Activities include a skating rink, a Big Wheel (Ferris wheel), round-about and ice dinosaur monster. All have entrance fees, but it is an exciting time for a city during the coldest months of the year. Brass bands, free performances and ice sculptures are also on display as part of the cultural programme.

One of the highlights for Christmas shoppers are the 240 wooden Christmas chalets opened during this time. They line the streets of Bourse, Marché aux Poissons and Place St. Catherines. These stalls look like gingerbread houses, twinkling with fairy lights and covered with ‘snow-top’ roofs.

In a city famous for its cuisine, what better place to indulge your sweet tooth than in Brussels. The Christmas market acts more as a gastronomic affair, offering plump French olives, sumptuous Belgian chocolates, waffles, steaming plates of moules-frites and snails, and seasonal croustillons (sugared doughnuts).

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR With over 300 market chalets, Strasbourg attracts over 1.6 million visitors during the Christmas season. There is an impressive Christmas tree on Place Kléber and a skating rink on Place du Château.

INTERNATIONAL TAX & WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Are You Sure You Are Managing Risk?

By Chris McCann, Partner, Blevins Franks

O

If you are retired or nearing retirement and have a life expectancy of 20 years or more, holding all your capital in cash is Wealth preservation is about protecting generally a high risk strategy. The income the value of your capital in ‘real terms’ will be reduced by tax, interest rates can – that is, after inflation and tax. There and do change (and are currently at are in fact various threats to your wealth historic lows), and your capital will lose that you need to take into account and value each year as a result of inflation. plan for.

Inflation is insidious – you may not notice In many cases they are only thinking about investment risk, and generally Cash is not the risk free option many the effects each year until it is too late. It is important to consider the impact it can just worry about how risky or volatile people view it as; it depends have on your savings now, so you can take particular assets are. That is part of it, but on your time horizon. steps today to protect your wealth and not the whole story. long-term financial security.

First you should identify what your Tax has always been a threat to wealth, objective is. When we get to retirement more so today. As governments struggle most of us want to ensure that our to reduce their debt, they are seeking every money easily lasts for the rest of our opportunity to increase tax revenues. lives so we can maintain the standard of Their main target has been private capital, living we are used to - our objective is on which they are imposing higher taxes therefore to maintain our buying power on income and gains. throughout retirement. ne common request I get from investors and retirees discussing their financial planning is that they want to take as little risk as possible.

firm etc. The difference can be significant, so you need to establish exactly what protection all your capital has in the event of institutional failure. Look at the structures you hold your wealth in and ensure your assets are either ring fenced or diversified as much as possible. You can eliminate institutional risk at the same time as improving your tax position.

British expatriates have another risk to consider – currency risk.

Often their savings, investments and pension funds are in Sterling, but living here in Spain all their expenses are in Euros.

As you convert Sterling to Euros your income can suffer from exchange rate movements, not to mention the costs involved.

Going back to the original consideration of investment risk, of course assets like equities, bonds and property can fall in value as well as rise, but there are steps you can take to reduce investment risk within your portfolio.

Spanish succession tax and UK inheritance tax (if you are a British expatriate) will have on the assets you leave to your family and heirs.

In tandem with the tax rises, financial privacy - something which many people once took for granted - is being steadily eroded. Governments across the world are now agreeing to automatically exchange information. This means that tax authorities will receive information on your assets and income abroad each year.

You need to review the way you hold your capital to ensure that is it in the most tax efficient structures for Spain, and in a compliant manner so that you need not be concerned about exchange of information.

You need to properly diversify your capital across a range of investment assets, countries, sectors and even management styles, to obtain the lowest risk exposure for the potential risk you are seeking. Risk and return are not always proportionate - you can easily expose yourself to more risk than you need to, and more than can be justified by the return potential of your portfolio.

Wealth preservation is perhaps more important than ever before, but in today’s economic environment it is extremely difficult to achieve without the help of professional wealth management advice.

We need to talk!

Another risk we all need to be aware of is institutional risk. This is the risk that the financial institution holding your money will fail. Savers have lost money over recent years as a result of bank failures, and you want to avoid this happening to you.

Within Europe the level of investor protection from institutional failure varies significantly between each country and between the type of institution - e.g. bank, insurance company, investment

ALIFORNI

Nicknamed the Golden State for the “gold in them there hills” that drew fortune-seekers across the country in 1848, California’s 163,696 square miles make it the third largest state behind Alaska and Texas.

Trying to encapsulate what California offers into one word, or even one sentence, is pretty much impossible. Divided into twelve different tourist regions with each offering its own distinct character and attraction, I ask what other destination in the world can offer such variety?

Here we take look at some of the most popular cities;

SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA

The San Francisco Bay Area is a geographically diverse and extensive metropolitan region that is home to nearly 8 million inhabitants within its cities of San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. Once a focus of Spanish missions and Gold Rush prospectors, the Bay Area is better known now for its lifestyle, liberal politics and high-tech industry (Silicon Valley) and wine from the famous Napa County.

Famous the world over for its liberal community, hilly terrain, Victorian architecture, scenic beauty, summer fog, and great ethnic and cultural diversity and not forgetting the striking Golden Gate Bridge the districts of San Francisco Bay is one of the most metropolitan and cultural areas within the whole of America.

SAN DIEGO San Diego the self-proclaimed “America’s finest city”, is known for its ideal climate, impressive beaches, and several tourist attractions which include the SeaWorld theme park and the San Diego Zoo. Sitting just north of the Mexico border, across from Tijuna, San Diego has a somewhat slower paced atmosphere - especially when compared to that of its northern neighbour Los Angeles and when visiting, some may find it provides a soothing break from all the hustle and bustle.

Home to the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy San Diego is also known as “the birthplace of California” since it was the first European landfall.

San Diego’s economy is also home to a number of institutions of higher learning, including the University of California, San Diego, the University of San Diego, and San Diego State University. www.bmwblog.com, www.democratic-republicans.us, www.humanandnatural.com, www.pinerose.com, www.redandwhite.com, www.rockinmama.net, www.santamonica.com, www.unionsquarebackslide.com, www.uswestcoasttours.com

LOS ANGELES

Known simply as L.A and nicknamed the “City of Angels”, Los Angeles is the most populous city in California. Located in Southern California, the city is surrounded by vast mountain ranges, valleys, forests, beautiful beaches and desert.

People either love it or hate it but no matter what, Los Angeles makes no excuses and changes itself for no one. And you’ve got to admire that.

Made up of dozens of communities, there is not one single experience that can sum up the life and heartbeat of this city. But what can be noted about Los Angeles by both tourists and locals alike is, the hustle-and-bustle lifestyle, the vibrant and unique neighbourhoods, and the extreme diversity that sets it apart from any other city.

Here you’ll find most of the city’s hippest clubs frequented by up-andcoming actors and socialites, as well as some of the city’s finest hotels and shopping, including the upscale Melrose Avenue Shopping District if ever there is a place to spot a celebrity this is the place!

small, artsy beach town offers one of the greatest collections of cafes, bars, galleries, antiques and one-of-a-kind shops around. Weekend afternoons on the boardwalk are definitely a memorable experience for any visitor to the city.

The city of Beverly Hills with its world-famous zip code is synonymous with wealth, status, and celebrity. The understated elegance and grace of the residential neighbourhoods are balanced out

by Rodeo Drive, which offers some of the finest and most expensive shopping in the world – But be sure to look the part when shopping, after all look what happened to Pretty Woman!

One of the most prominent communities of L.A is Pasadena. The Old Town Pasadena provides one of the greatest clusters of bars, shops, cafes and restaurants in the entire L.A. area. The city is also known for the Norton Simon Museum, which is the largest collection of art owned by one man, and the Rose Bowl. Every New Year’s Day, this not-so-sleepy town becomes the focus of the entire world for the annual Tournament of Roses Parade.

The metropolitan area of Los Angeles offer some of the finest communities, most famous of all being Hollywood with its glitz, glamour and sprinkle of stardust. It is home to Warner Bros. Studio and Universal Studios. Ritzy West Hollywood is home

Santa Monica & the Bay Cities is a place for all ages and offers the best in entertainment with its famous Santa Monica Pier. Venice, just south of Santa Monica, is the city’s home to all things eclectic and many things downright bizarre. This

An article about California wouldn’t be complete without looking at the enchanting Disneyland, a place where children and the young at heart find that dreams really do come true.

Smiling train conductors, marching bands and the clip-clop of horse drawn carriages remind you of carefree days. Fast rides, water adventures and the opportunity to meet your

and shoes sank into the still-soft concrete! But, before long - and in inimitable Disney fashion - the staff and Imaginers at Disneyland had everything under control and the park soon became one of Southern California’s most popular tourist destinations.

Walt Disney was 53-years-old when he realized his dream of building a park where “age relives fond memories of the past and youth may savour the challenge and promise of the future.” Officially opened on July 17, 1955, all was not rosy during the early days of Disneyland park, especially on opening day, when 60,000 guests were invited but 28,000 showed up for the festivities! Rides broke down, streets leading to the park were jammed,

Today, the popularity of Disneyland continues, thanks to Disney’s universal appeal and the company’s dedication to keeping Disneyland new and fresh, not only with the addition of new rides but also a whole new park (California Adventure) and the Downtown Disney district where visitors can shop, dine, and even enjoy nightlife a la Disney.

The secret to Disneyland is its ability to change yet, remain the same. As Walt Disney said “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”

When the world is not enough!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did, so throw off the bowlines, sail away. Catch the trade winds in your sails and explore, dream and discover”…

Mark Twain

Ever since the 1950’s space has held a mystical hold over mankind, we know it’s out there when we look up and see the twinkling stars we know there are planets and solar systems swirling above our heads, we know how to get to it and have achieved marvellous discoveries over the past few decades, today more than ever our knowledge of space is overwhelming however space travel is still a phenomenon only a select few will ever be able to accomplish.

Space travel offers a way to return to the “frontier” an opportunity to venture into the unknown, granted, it is currently a staggeringly expensive endeavour, but travel into outer space, including the planets of our solar system and other star systems within our galaxy, and the immensely large number of galaxies in the universe, represents a mysterious yet tempting new territory to explore.

Popular culture has largely glamorized the possibilities of space travel through stories of beautiful people using advanced technology all offering peace. In short, we have romanticized about both the exploration of space and the experience of space travel through our myths, stories and portrayals.

The race to space in the 1950’s was a battle of wills between two superpowers and nearly everybody marvelled at the first manned moon landing of July 1969, one of these idealists was entrepreneur Richard Branson.

Todays he is one of the most talked about pioneers of space tourism who in 2004 signed a deal to licence technology from Paul Allen & Burt Rutan who built the first privately owned spaceship named ‘SpaceShipOne’ (SS1), a rocket plane that is lifted initially by a carrier vehicle before blasting skywards.

Branson’s company Virgin Galactic philosophy is to provide suborbital spaceflights to space tourists, suborbital launches for space science missions, and orbital launches of small satellites in short he aims to be the first private spaceship to offer a commercial operating service.

Since the formation of the company the Virgin Galactic team have been busy, a new hanger and terminal at Spaceport America in New Mexico has been built, and after two years of construction in 2009 ‘SpaceShipTwo’ (SS2) and ‘WhiteKnaightTwo’ Christened Virgin Mother Ship (VMS) were unveiled to the world.

The aim is for SpaceShipTwo (SS2) to take passengers on a wild two-and-a-half-hour flight, blasting them 360,000 feet (109,728 meters) above the Earth and giving them a fourto five-minute zero-gravity experience (and, as an added bonus, passengers officially become astronauts by traveling more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) into space). After the brief suborbital flight, the spacecraft re-enters the atmosphere and glides back to Earth.

And so it was that during the month of September 2013, at approximately 8 a.m. local time, WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) carrier aircraft took off from the Mojave Desert carrying SS2 to an altitude of 46,000 feet. Virgin Galactic Chief Pilot Dave Mackay was at the WK2 controls, assisted by Scaled Composites (Scaled) co-pilot Mike Alsbury and The Spaceship Company Flight Test Engineer Scott Glaser.

Upon release from WK2, SS2 pilots Mark Stucky and Clint Nichols, ignited the rocket motor for the planned 20-second burn propelling the spaceship to 69,000 feet. During this time, SS2 achieved a maximum speed of Mach 1.43. SS2 landed in Mojave at 9.25 a.m. local time completing the flight test with the pilots reporting a flawless flight.

Flights are expected to begin in 2014, and it is reported that over 700 tickets have been sold with rumours of Angelina Jolie, Ashton Kutcher and Stephen Hawking among the celebrity guests who will be aboard SpaceShipTwo (SS2) for the aircraft’s first set of flights, though the maiden voyage will be reserved for Branson family, the magnate and investor said.

Virgin Galactic is advertising suborbital spaceflights for $20,000. (ÂŁ125,000) For more information visit www.virgingalactic.com

First launched in 1985, the Aerospace has asserted itself as one of the stellar models in the Breitling Professional range.

When you shop for speakers you need to take your time and listen several times to different speakers before making a final decision.

In your Home Cinema you want to feel surrounded by magnificent sound and forget about everything else. You want a magical experience. Bang & Olufsen and Stealth, with the invisible speakers, creates the ultimate fusion of moving imagery with authentic sound. It’s all about filling the room with a three-dimensional soundscape.

P

erhaps more than any other species, butterflies age gracefully, transforming during a brief but dramatic lifetime from lowly caterpillars into one of the world’s most tantalizing and pleasing creatures.

Butterflies dance rather than just fly they add colour to nature’s palate. Like puppies, rainbows and unicorns, they comprise one of childhood’s favourite things. But butterflies perform a greater service to man and his environment than just providing ornamentation.

Butterfly pollinating, feeding and reproductive activities are crucial to the survival of flowering plants and even food crops. As barometers of environmental quality, the butterfly’s good health is an indicator of our planets good health.

There are about 17,500 species of butterflies in the world, and around 750 species in the United States. California is home to approximately 170 species of butterflies here we take a look at a few who have sadly made it onto the endangered list.

Bay Checkerspot Butterfly Populations of the bay checkerspot historically inhabited numerous areas around the San Francisco Bay, including the San Francisco peninsula, the mountains near San Jose, the Oakland hills, and several spots in Alameda County, but populations have experienced serious declines since the mid-1980s.

Description The bay checkerspot (Euphydryas editha bayensis) is a medium-sized butterfly in the brush-footed butterfly family (Nymphalidae).

It has a wing span of a little more than 2 inches.

The dorsal surfaces of the wings have black bands along all the veins on the surfaces,

contrasting sharply with bright red, yellow and white spots. It is the black banding that gives the Bay Checkerspot its unique appearance and its name. The bands contrast sharply with bright red, yellow and white spots.

Because this species has been extensively studied its decline was quickly identified, prompting its listing as threatened in 1987.

Smith’s Blue Butterfly Smith’s Blue Butterfly historically ranged along the coast from Monterey Bay south through Big Sur to near Point Gorda, occurring in scattered populations in association with coastal dune, coastal scrub, chaparral, and grassland habitats. They spend their entire lives in association with two buckwheat plants in the genus Eriogonum.

Emerging in late summer and early autumn, the adults mate and then lay eggs on the flowers of these host plants. The eggs hatch shortly thereafter and the larvae begin to feed on the flowers of the plant. Following several weeks of feeding and development, the larvae molt to a pupal stage, beginning a ten month period of transformation. The following

year, as the Eriogonum again flower, the new adults emerge.

Description The Smith’s blue butterfly (Euphilotes enoptes smithi) is a member of the Lycaenidae (gossamer wing) family. Smith’s blue is small, slightly less than one inch (2.5 cm) across.

On the dorsal side of the wings, males are bright lustrous blue, whereas females are brown with a band of red-orange marks across the hind wings. The ventral sides are whitishgrey, speckled with black dots and with a band of red-orange marks crossing the hind-wings near the outer edge.

Lange’s Metalmark Butterfly Lange’s Metalmark butterflyThe Lange’s metalmark (Apodemia mormo langei) is a tiny butterfly found only at the Antioch Dunes.

Their short lives are closely connected to their larval food plant, the Antioch Dunes buckwheat which provides a place for adult butterflies to perch and nectar, to lay their eggs, and as a source of food for growing caterpillars.

Adult butterflies are little bigger than a quarter and live for no more than a few weeks, resulting in a flight season of about a month in late summer. In that time, adult butterflies mate and deposit their eggs on the stems of withering buckwheat leaves in twos and threes.

With the rainy season, knobby, bristlehaired, lilac-coloured caterpillars emerge. The caterpillars crawl to the base of the buckwheat 142

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

and feed at night on the buckwheat’s tender new leaves until the time comes to overwinter.

In the spring and summer, the caterpillars begin feeding again on new leaves and flowers, growing until they are ready to shed their skin and form a chrysalis. Inside, the caterpillars develop into butterflies.

The Lange’s metalmark butterfly has a distinctive, erratic flight pattern, and is restricted to short flight distances (100 to 1,300 feet) marked by figure eights.

Description Lange’s metalmark (Apodemia mormo langei) is a brightly coloured butterfly in the Riodinidae (metalmark) family. Adult wingspan varies from 1 to 1.5 inch.

Dorsal wings are largely black with white spots. Red-orange coloration extends through the inner forward half of the forewing, the hindwing bases, and a small central patch subtended by black. Ventrally, the wings have a more muted pattern of grey, white, black, and orange.

Desert

Orchid

Brave, tough and honest. An equine superstar who became one of the greatest of steeplechasers.

Career

More affectionately known as ‘Dessie’, this gallant grey, simply melted the hearts of racing lovers and non-lovers alike his front-running attacking style, iron will and extreme versatility saw him achieve iconic status in national hunt racing winning the ‘King George VI Chase’ a legendary four times and a triple win for the ‘Gainsborough Chase.

Born on April 11th 1979 as a bay foal but with greys on both sides of his family, his sire Grey Mirage was of course grey and his dam line had Grey Orchid, Harbour Lights and Portlaw, it is easy to see why he turned out to be grey, but not so easy to see why he was so great.

Breed by Jimmy Burridge, a solicitor who dreamed of horses. A man who loved them and made them part of his life, he was an accomplished horseman who had bought Dessie’s Grand dam Grey Orchid, then 10 years old, from a field for £175.00 despite the fact that she threw him off when he first tried her. In his book ‘The Grey Horse’ Richard Burridge, Jimmy’s son recounts how as a foal Desert Orchid was nothing special, and in fact they called him ‘Fred’ for some time while they were waiting to receive the name that would enchant a nation.

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

Dessie first season started in an unspectacular fashion. Few who saw him on his debut thought they were watching one of racing’s superstars.

In fact when he fell at the first in a novice hurdle at Kempton in 1983, it seemed that his first race may be his last, because he took such a long time to get to his feet. He finished his first season still a maiden.

Dessie started the 1983/4 season on a winning note, again in novice company at Ascot where he slammed Lucky Rascal by 20 lengths. In this season he won 6 of his 8 starts, his final race of

the season being an unplaced effort behind the ill-fated Dawn Run in the 1984 Champion Hurdle.

Trainer David Elsworth’s grey was no longer eligible for novice company over timber in 1984/5 and Dessie struggled, as many horses do, to recapture his novice form. He won one of his eight starts this season, the win being in February at Sandown. Following this win he appeared to lose his form. He was pulled up in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Chepstow, and on his final outing of the season fell at Ascot.

In 1985 Desert Orchid returned at Kempton and was sent off a 4/9 favourite. Again he failed to complete, falling 2 out when clear.

Dessie was then switched to the bigger obstacles, which proved the making of the grey. He ran up a sequence of four wins at Devon and Exeter, Sandown and Ascot (twice) before unseating at Ascot. He did not win again that season despite three further placed efforts.

Desert Orchid a legend in his own lifetime never to be forgotten

In 1986 Dessie returned at Sandown in November with a victory over 2m 4f over The Argonaut, but finished 4th out of 5 the next time out in Grade 2 company at Ascot. Back at Ascot he won over 2 miles before returning to Kempton Park for the Boxing Day showpiece.

Tackling Grade 1 company in the King George VI Chase Dessie ran out a spectacular 15 length winner over Door Latch. This was Dessie’s first win under jockey Simon Sherwood, and was to become the start of a winning partnership that was successful nine times in their next ten races together.

Desert Orchid followed up with wins at Sandown and Wincanton, before finishing third in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham, three lengths behind Pearlyman. He bounced back to win over 2m 4f at Ascot before being pulled up in the Whitbread Gold Cup on his final outing of the 1986/7 season.

A string of places followed in 1987, second at Sandown (2 miles), second in the King George, and places at Sandown, Wincanton and Cheltenham. Desert Orchid got his head in front on his last two starts of the 1987/8 season taking the Martell Cup at Aintree, which was his first win on a left-handed track, and the Whitbread Gold Cup at Sandown defeating Kildimo The South West Pattern Chase at Wincanton saw Dessie return in 1988 with a victory, and the grey went on to take the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown, before his second King George at Kempton on Boxing Day 1988. Again he was chased home by Kildimo who must have been sick of the sight of the grey’s hind quarters! One of Dessie’s greatest efforts took place in the 1989 Victor Chandler Handicap Chase, where he took on four rivals, including the top-class Panto Prince and Vodkatini. He gave the former 22 pounds and the latter 23 pounds.

Dessie was then stepped up to 3 miles and 2 furlongs (5.23 km) for the Cheltenham Gold Cup he had previously been considered a two-miler. Rain and snow had fallen relentlessly at Cheltenham on Gold Cup day made the racecourse going heavy. These were conditions hardly suited to Dessie, especially at this left-handed course which he never particularly favoured however,

his trainer David Elsworth was determined to run him. A crowd of over 58,000 witnessed Dessies immense effort to overhaul the mud-loving Yahoo in the final stages of the race. After his one and a half-length victory, jockey, Simon Sherwood said: “I’ve never known a horse so brave. He hated every step of the way in the ground and dug as deep as he could possibly go”.

In 1989 Dessie again returned at Wincanton with victory under a new pilot, Richard Dunwoody.

After a second in the Tingle Creek, he headed for Kempton and his annual Boxing Day outing, where he took his third King George beating Barnbrook. Again, this time as the 4/6 favourite.

He followed up with a win at Wincanton and then took the Racing Post Chase at Kempton. A third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup preceded Dessie’s convincing win in the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse. He was given a top weight of 12 stone, but sent off the even money favourite by twelve lengths.

Dessie did not appear until November 1990 at Devon and Exeter instead of Wincanton, finishing second in the Haldon Gold Cup. A fourth in the Tingle Creek followed before the King George.

Incredibly, Dessie made the 1990 race his fourth King George victory.

Dessie had three more races in the 1990/91 season, his final ever victory coming in the Agfa Diamond Chase at Sandown on 2nd February 1991. His final start of the season was a 15 length third to Garrison Savannah in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. In his last season, he was beaten in his first outing at Wincanton, the race he had made his own and which now bears his name. He finished

third in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon Racecourse before falling in his last race, the 1991 King George at Kempton, where he was attempting his fifth win.

His record at right-handed tracks such as Kempton was always substantially better than his record at left-handed tracks such as Cheltenham.

He had a tendency to jump to his right especially when tired. This meant that at tracks such as Cheltenham he would lose lengths by drifting to the outside. This tendency can be seen by his runs in the 1987 and 1988 Queen Mother Champion Chase and 1989 and 1990 Cheltenham Gold Cup. On each occasion he entered the home straight wide of his rivals. He only raced lefthanded on thirteen occasions. However, all were either early in his career or in top-class races.

On December 1991 time was finally called on his illustrious career. Dessie had won 34 of his 70 starts and had amassed £654,066 in prize money.

During his retirement, he raised thousands of pounds for charity, and his presence at charity events attracted large crowds. His fan club was run by part owner Midge Burridge and family friend John Hippesley. In the 17 years that the fan club ran, they raised over £40,000 for charity through sales of Dessie merchandise, especially his racing calendar.

When David Elsworth left Whitsbury after 25 years, the grey packed up and went with him to Egerton House Stables in Newmarket, Suffolk. But the home of champions and stallions welcomed the old gelding and his trainer with open arms and Newmarket racecourses held their annual press day in 2006 on Dessie’s 27th birthday at his stable. He also paraded at the course to the delight of his fans.

In early November 2006, Dessies began to have trouble with coordination and those close to him were summoned to say goodbye. He was last seen by those who loved him best at Egerton, lying down but nibbling his hay. One hour later at 6:05am, Monday 13th November 2006, Desert Orchid passed away.

On Monday 13th November 2006, after 15 years of retirement the racing community mourned as Britain’s best-loved racehorse, a brave and charismatic champion passed away. Today his ashes are buried at Kempton Park Racecourse near his statue (above).

A DISTINCTIVE AND DYNAMIC NEW CONTINENTAL

Building on the success of the acclaimed Continental GT V8, the new V8 S models feature a more powerful version of Bentley’s 4-litre, twinturbo V8 engine developing 521 bhp (528 PS / 389 KW) at 6,000 rev/min and an immense peak torque of 680 Nm (502 lb.ft) at a mere 1,700 rev/ min. An 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and Bentley all-wheel drive system with 40:60 rearbiased torque split ensures effortless delivery of the increased power, providing exhilarating yet smooth performance.

The performance of the GT V8 S convertible is impressive, reaching 60 mph from a standing start in 4.5 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.7s) and a top speed of 191mph (308km/h). This increased performance is not at the cost of the efficient

engine’s fuel economy capabilities, with the convertible able to cover over 500 miles (805 km) on a single tank of fuel.

A suite of enhancements to the Continental chassis provide greater agility and body control to match the engine’s higher output, whilst maintaining the car’s renowned ride comfort and refinement.

A more sporting setup sees ride height lowered by 10 mm front and rear while spring rates, bushes and the rear anti-roll bar are stiffened.

Recalibrated damping, steering and ESC complete the package for an exhilarating and involving driving experience.

An upgraded suspension delivers a more responsive drive through revisions to key areas such as dampers, anti-roll bars and steering tune, whilst the optional sports exhaust system features completely redesigned silencers, revised pipe architecture and re-tuned mountings to create a free-breathing system with the powerful, throaty roar you expect from a sporting V8.

Inside, the car represents the cutting-edge of grand touring technology. The car can pair with almost any Bluetooth smartphone, tablet or media player to enable your films and music to be played through the in car entertainment system.

The sound system built into every Continental GT V8 S features custom Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) speakers, which combine the functions

of separate tweeters and mid-range speakers in a single unit, making it possible to direct sound with accuracy and clarity across the audible spectrum. For the ultimate audio experience, the Naim for Bentley sound system takes things one step further, with fifteen channels of flawless sound filling your Continental’s cabin.

Sharp and stylish design touches are introduced to match the new models’ enhanced sporting pace. A package of lower-body styling features accents the purposeful stance offered by the lowered suspension through an aerodynamic front splitter, discrete side sills and elegant rear diffuser, all finished in Beluga gloss black.

New signature 20-inch wheels are exclusive to the V8 S models, and feature an open-spoke design that provides a clear view of red-painted brake calipers. “V8 S” fender badges complete the understated but sporting appearance. The visual appeal of the new car is matched by a stunning V8 exhaust note that can be amplified further with an optional new sports exhaust.

Inside, the cabin presents a thoroughly modern interpretation of Bentley luxury. Available with a range of striking duo-tone interiors, customers select interior trim from the full range of seventeen hide colours. Knurled chrome detailing to the gearshift lever and ventilation controls provides a perfect contrast to Piano Black veneers, while discreet “V8 S” badges are displayed on each sill tread plate.

The new Continental GT V8 S is designed for driving – yet it remains every bit a Bentley Continental, the definitive British grand tourer.

With space in the boot for skis, golf clubs or any other equipment your excursions entail, it is supremely equipped for long journeys. And unlike many of its rivals, there is generous space in the back – enough for two adults to sit comfortably and enjoy the drive.

With an engine capable of transporting you and your passengers for over 530 miles (853 km) between fill-ups, the Continental GT V8 S has everything you need for a life of luxurious and fulfilling journeys – whether you take the time to plan them or not. Rarely does a car offer so much, for driver and passengers alike.

A Gha-Whaa? Rolls-Royce Reveals Bespoke Ghawwass Phantom Coupe

ROLLS ROYCE

Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke division is alive and kicking, and the exclusive British luxury marque now has posted its latest one-off project, a Phantom Coupe dubbed “Ghawwass.” If the name sounds strange, that’s because it isn’t an English-language word; it means “diver” in Arabic, and the car’s aquatic color scheme celebrates the traditional method of retrieving pearls from the sea off Bahrain.

We’re told the one-off coupe was commissioned by Rolls-Royce Abu Dhabi, and it features a stunning Turchese paint job that supposedly matches the color of the Persian Gulf’s waters. Inside, there are pearl veneers and a tan-and-blue color scheme that’s slightly less tasteful than the brightly colored exterior.

It’s not clear whether the car ultimately will be sold or whether it will be kept as a display item by RollsRoyce Abu Dhabi, to show the bandwidth of the Bespoke program. Moneyed buyers the world over, however, can bet that with the right money, they can

have a nearly one-off Roller of their own.

ASTON MARTIN Now the V12 Vantage, which was first revealed as a V-8–powered concept in 2003, is being updated to S specification, yet it doesn’t look too dissimilar from its predecessor. But it does benefit from Aston’s favorite party trick: more power. Not only is the 2014 V12 Vantage S the most powerful member of its venerable family, it’s also said to be the fastest Aston Martin ever built—with the notable exception of the ultra-rare One-77.

The furrowed hood of the new model continues to hide a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V-12 engine with modest roots—it’s assembled on the premises of Ford’s production facility in Cologne, Germany.

Power increases from 510 horsepower at 6500 rpm to 565 horses at 6750 rpm. Peak torque jumps from 420 lb-ft to 457, with max twist arriving at 5750 rpm. The former model's six-speed manual transmission, a smooth-enough unit, is replaced by a sevenspeed,

Put down the pitchforks and snuff the torches, everyone.

The single-speed transfer case in the refreshed-for-2014 Land Rover LR4 is merely an option. As Land Rover judiciously states, “some customers do not need to fully exploit the LR4's off-road capabilities.” For those committed to testing the outer reaches of the LR4’s offroad prowess, the tried and true two-speed unit with lowrange is still available. This is the sentiment at the heart of the LR4’s face lift: optimized for urban comfort, perhaps at the expense of off-road prowess.

Gone, too, is Land Rover’s 5.0-liter V-8, which is being replaced by Jaguar Land Rover’s ever-more-ubiquitous supercharged 3.0-liter V-6, while a ZF-sourced eightspeed automatic will take over for the six-speed unit.

Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

161

Lamborghini unveiled a new version of its “entry-level” sports car called the Gallardo at the 2013 Frankfurt auto show - the Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse.

This model is the most extreme street model in the Gallardo line-up delivering high levels of performance while bringing the thrills associated with motorsport to the street-legal world. This new and most extreme model in the Gallardo line-up is based on the Gallardo Super Trofeo, the race car that features in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo - the world’s fastest one-make series.

The name Squadra Corse refers to the recently-founded department within Automobili Lamborghini, which manages all motorsport activities from GT3 to the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo championships in Europe, Asia and America, where gentlemen drivers participate in fiercly contested battles on the most challenging racetracks in the world.

The new Gallardo Squadra Corse is derived directly from the race car. Both share the same V10 engine, which is used in the racing version with no modifications. Likewise, the Squadra Corse has the same rear wing for greater aerodynamic load – achieving, under the best aerodynamic conditions, three times the load of the Gallardo LP 560-4 – for increased dynamic stability during tight high-speed cornering.

Another element taken directly from the racing version is the removable engine hood equipped with a quick-release system. Both the rear wing and the hood are made from carbon composite material, as are a host of other components on the Squadra Corse.

Lightweight construction through consistent use of carbon fibre Together with aluminium, carbon fibre forms the basis for construction of the new, extremely lightweight, top-of-the-range Gallardo.

The Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse boasts a dry weight of 1340 kilograms, 70 less than the already lean Gallardo LP 560-4, which gives the Squadra Corse a stunning power-to-weight ratio of 2.35 kilograms per hp. Different delivering breath-taking performance, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in just 10.4 seconds. Its forward thrust finally tops out at 320 km/h. The productionstandard carbon-ceramic brake system guarantees unmatched stopping power.

The technology and the powertrain

Like the race car, the Gallardo Squadra Corse comes as standard with the robotized e-gear sixspeed transmission operated by steering wheel paddles. This electronically controlled system shifts through its six gears smoothly and much faster than any professional racing driver could.

Every kilometre driven in the Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse is packed with sheer excitement, in part due to its unrelenting grip in virtually all situations thanks to its all-wheel drive concept.

Representing Italian racing The Gallardo Squadra Corse’s ultimate racing performance is also reflected in its exterior design – clearly attesting its commitment to its Italian heritage. A decal strip along the flanks displays green, white and red, the colours of the Italian flag. The Squadra Corse is available in Giallo Midas (yellow), Bianco Monocerus (white), Grigio Thalasso (grey) and Rosso Mars (red). The exterior look of the Gallardo Squadra Corse is perfectly accented with a matte black finish on the large rear wing, which contrasts with the body paint

work. The hood, front air intakes, rear diffuser and 19-inch forged wheels are painted in highgloss black, while the brake callipers are available in red, black or yellow.

Minimalist sporty interior Extremely lightweight carbon fibre and Alcantara®, the perfect combination of sporty minimalism, are the dominant materials inside the Squadra Corse. Alcantara graces the underside of the dashboard, the central panel of the seat cushion and the backrest. The door panels, the racing seats and the centre console cover are made from carbon fibre, a technology in which Lamborghini has achieved world-leading expertise. Carbon is also used for the handbrake frame; the middle of the centre console; the lower rim of the steering wheel; the trim around the main and secondary instrument panels; the door handles; and the handle for opening the glove box. Standard seats can also be ordered in place of racing bucket seats.

Like the Super Trofeo competition version, the new Squadra Corse is based on the technical underpinnings of the Gallardo Superleggera. The V10 engine generates 570hp, the equivalent of 419 kW, which is fully available at 8,000 rpm.

The V10’s unique firing order delivers the striking sound heard from its motor racing equivalent.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse will be a limited production model (TBC) with a starting price of €191,100

..........................................................................................................

Chez Panisse opened its doors in 1971, founded by Alice Waters and a group of idealistic friends.

A neighborhood bistro, it is named after Honoré Panisse, a character in Marcel Pagnol’s 1930s movie trilogy about waterfront life in Marseille (Marius, Fanny, and César), as an homage to the sentiment, comedy, and informality of these classic films.

Built in 1890 as a French Steam Laundry, this rustic two-story stone house is surrounded by a country garden planted with vintage roses, perennials and seasonal herbs.

The French Laundry remains a US culinary institution with an intimate dining room with just 15 tables. Every day, the French Laundry serves two different nine-course tasting menus, none of which uses the same ingredient more than once.

From the beginning, Alice and her partners tried to do things the way they would like them done at a dinner party at home, with generosity and attention to detail. The menu which changes every night is designed to be appropriate to the season and composed to feature the finest sustainably-sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients including meat, fish, and poultry.

Some of North America’s finest chefs trained here, while the quaint wine-town location and reverence for ingredients continue to attract gastronomic pilgrims.

Alice Waters, chef, author, and the proprietor of Chez Panisse, is an American pioneer of a culinary philosophy that maintains that cooking should be based on the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients that are produced sustainably and locally. She is a passionate advocate for a food economy that is “good, clean, and fair.”

Thomas Keller is renowned for his culinary skills and his exceptionally high personal standards. He began his career at a young age, working in the Palm Beach restaurant managed by his mother. He relocated to France in 1983, where he worked in several Michelin-starred houses including Guy Savoy and Taillevent.

He opened his first restaurant, Rakel, in New Yotk in 1986. In 1984, Keller took ownership of the French Laundry in Yountville, quickly garnering nationwide acclaim. In 2001, Keller was named “America’s Best Chef” by Time magazine. www.annacostafood.files.wordpress.com,www.blogcityeats.com, www.blogs.kcrw.com, www. chefshomekitchens.com, www.elle.com, www.finedininglovers.com, www.teenamericanobserver.com, www.tomostyle.wordpress.com, www,tummydiary.files.wordpress.com, www.whitneywu.com

Over the course of nearly forty years, Chez Panisse has helped create a community of scores of local farmers and ranchers whose dedication to sustainable agriculture assures the restaurant a steady supply of fresh and pure ingredients.

In the history of American cooking, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo will probably go down as the guys who introduced stoner cuisine to the masses.

At this ultimate haven for adventurous carnivores, chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo have won a host of awards for their hearty, straightforward, and innovative cooking.

Dishes like their foiegras-spiked loco moco, oxtail poutine, and “Buffalo style” crispy pig’s tail keep chefs and civilians alike coming back for more.

Nancy Silverton, Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich meld their prodigious talents to bring Pizzeria Mozza and Osteria Mozza to the heart of Los Angeles. With the devout commitment to product, environment and hospitality, the two unique but equally engaging concepts provide dynamic templates for displaying the group’s profound passions.

Chef Nancy Silverton began her delicious career in Sonoma, California, where she started working in a vegetarian kitchen in her college dormitory. After discovering cooking was her passion, she enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in London, England.

Animal’s food is smart, not smart-ass. Every dish is generous and freewheeling, but also exacting, disciplined, and balanced - in other words, very unstoner. By serving a menu of upscale munchies in a gritty, minimalist space in the old Jewish neighborhood of Fairfax, the two also changed the dining culture in L.A., making food, not the scene, the centerpiece. Not bad for a pair of self-made chefs, who deserve to be remembered for creating dishes rooted in satisfaction and comfort - no matter why you crave them.

After graduating, Silverton returned to the states and after discovering her passion for pastry, Silverton opened her first new restaurant since departing Campanile in 2004. In 2006 she opened Pizzeria Mozza, one half of a two-part restaurant with partners Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich, opened to rave reviews. Osteria Mozza, quickly followed in July of 2007, and was nominated as Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation for that year.

Silverton is also heavily involved in the Garden School Project of Los Angeles and the Meals-On-Wheels program in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. By supporting the Garden School Project’s commitment to nutritional education in public grade schools and raising funds and awareness for the elderly that are fed each day by Meals-On-Wheels, Silverton is dedicated to sharing her love of food with two very different generations. Silverton practices what she preaches. “Simple, all-natural ingredients lead to artful nutrition.”

..........................................................................................................

Billy West opened Zuni Café in 1979, with a huge heart and exactly ten thousand dollars. In the early years, the restaurant consisted of a narrow storefront with a creaky mezzanine, roughly one quarter of its current size.

He chose the name Zuni, after the native American tribe, and decided to offer mostly simple and authentic Mexican food, drawing inspiration from Diana Kennedy’s cookbooks. A Weber grill was an important early investment, and was rolled on to the back sidewalk for each day’s service. Next came an espresso machine, which doubled as a stove since you could scramble eggs with the milk steamer.

When Judy Rodgers was asked to be chef in 1987, the restaurant was very busy and well-respected. The food was delicious; milk-steamer eggs had gone away and there was an indoor grill and exhaust system. The menu still had a vaguely Mexican bent and the most popular dish was the madeto-order Caesar Salad. The owners’ affection for France and Italy, and for traditional food, would sanction lots of experimentation and change. Judy told Billy and Vince that they really needed a brick oven, and within a few months there was a 12- by 8-foot hole in the middle of the main dining room, decorated with plenty of bright yellow caution tape.

Since the day it opened, Flour + Water has been packed every night with the kind of eclectic mix one would expect in restaurant located in the Mission. Families, date-night couples, and celebrities such as Michael Pollan and Rosario Dawson have been drawn to it for its unassuming Italian fare. Created by David White and David Steele, with rising star chef Thomas McNaughton, Flour + Water is probably the best place to go for impeccably prepared Italian food in San Francisco.

Chef Thomas McNaughton graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, worked at La Folie, and went on to become sous chef at two of San Francisco’s most respected restaurants: Gary Danko and Quince.

Just prior to the opening of flour + water, McNaughton spent a good deal of time in a pasta “laboratory” in Bologna, Italy where he honed his pasta making skills under the watchful eyes of committed pasta artisans. Tom describes the inspiration behind the flour + water menu as a combination of oldworld tradition and refinement.

That brick oven ushered in a litany of dishes including a whole roast chicken to order - delicious straight out of that oven, simple and made for sharing. www.asianweek.com, www.forbes.com, www.hauteliving.com, www.insidescoopsf.sfgate.com, www.ourcherishedlife.wordpress.com, www.oyster.com, www.spoonwiz.com, www.tastestreatsandtravel.blogspot.com, www.vittlemonster.com

The James Beard Foundation nominated Thomas for Rising Star Chef in 2011, 2012 and again in 2013, and flour + water was nominated as Best New Restaurant in 2010.

..........................................................................................................

Wolfgang Puck and Barbara Lazaroff’s legendary, flagship restaurant now features a completely new menu and design. The master chef, along with Executive Chef and Managing Partner Lee Hefter, has reinvented the entire menu with his signature farm to table philosophy, heightening the iconic California cuisine Puck catapulted to stardom.

Award-winning chef Charles Phans Slanted Door serves a modern interpretation of classic Vietnamese street food, with a focus on locally sourced, fresh ingredients.

Located in an airy and relaxed new space in the Ferry Building, it has become a must for food-loving visitors; a meal here, overlooking the San Francisco Bay, is not to be missed, but good luck getting a table.

Spago’s new design from Waldo Fernandez complements the food with its clean and simple aesthetic, incorporating natural elements to add an organic feel. Spago’s co-founder/co-owner Barbara Lazaroff created the original design for Spago in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Spago continues to set the standard for cuisine, service and style and is consistently recognized as the ultimate in fine dining. Spago is the recipient of the AAA Four Diamond Award and received two stars in The Michelin Guide-Los Angeles edition, one of only three restaurants in the city to win this coveted distinction. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the restaurant earned the prestigious Wine Spectator Grand Award, the publication’s highest honors.

Originally from Vietnam, Charles Phan moved to San Francisco in 1977.

He always had a passion for food and throughout high school, Charles bussed tables at The Coachman, Mumm’s and Cafe Royale. As he became intrigued with cooking, Charles took notice of some of the more avant-garde Bay Area restaurants of the time.

After college, Phan took over the family garment business. Tapping his design background, Charles’ vision for the original restaurant was to create a stylish ambiance for traditional Vietnamese cooking.

He wanted an ingredient-driven menu that changed often and relied heavily on California eating savvy.

Phan proved through the phenomenal success with the original Slanted Door Restaurant that combining the Bay Area’s sensibility for fresh ingredients with Vietnamese time-honored cooking techniques is a perfect marriage. More than fifteen years later, he continues to prove that showcasing farm-fresh, locally sourced products and preparing everything from scratch has put The Slanted Door on the cutting edge of Vietnamese cuisine.

As a managing partner and the executive corporate chef of Wolfgang Puck’s Fine Dining Group, Lee Hefter has opened 26 high-flying restaurants around the globe, from Beverly Hills to Tokyo. But his interest in food traces back to Chinese takeout in his home state of New Jersey. Curious about Asian ingredients, Hefter took his first restaurant job at a Garden State restaurant called Wong’s, and went on to work for Barbara Tropp’s China Moon Café in San Francisco He later switched to California cuisine at Puck’s original Spago in West Hollywood, and opened the Austrian celebrity chef’s Malibu seafood spot Granita, solidifying a relationship with the chef that has spanned 20 years and garnered numerous accolades for Hefter—including Food & Wine’s Best New Chef 1998. Here, he discusses food obsessions and secret-weapon ingredients.

VILLA Sandro Morelli, owner of the beautiful Italian Restaurant Villa Tiberio, Promotes his forthcoming charity event in aid of Cudeca and ask everyone to give generously to those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

TIBERIO Being a father and a grandfather, Sandro has a passion for helping sick children “The proudest and most exciting moments of my life, among others, has always been about raising money for charity, the more I raise the happier I am” and this November Sandro will once spread joy and hope to others with his annual Gala Charity evening and auction in aid of Cudeca and the Foundation of Friends.

“Children are our future, and I have learned that if you love and care for a child and give them the right upbringing in life, they will become good human beings. The more time we dedicate to the children of the world, the better it will be. It simply breaks my heart when you see a child die because they need water, food and medicine it’s just so wrong.

This is why I battle privately to do whatever I can to help”.

Sandro is no stranger to charity or hosting events over the years he has given generously to many causes and Villa Tiberio has been the

SUNSEARCH MAGAZINE

venue of many an event, his last event held back in April in aid of Children with Leukaemia was a sold out affair and raised a staggering sum of over €25’274 of which Sandro aims to surpass this time around.

“Cudeca is an extremely important organisation, here is Malaga, they offer specialist treatment, love and care to people having to deal the distress of cancer and provide support to families in distress offering them a feeling of community so they don’t feel alone. We cannot turn a blind eye to this wonderful charity and if I can help them raise awareness and promote the fabulous work they selflessly provide then I am happy to do so.”

So, on Sunday the 24th November, Villa Tiberio will once again host a glittering gala dinner. The evening will start at 7.30pm with tickets priced at a modest €75.00 per person (all inclusive) of which Sandro will personally donate €25.00 per person, plus here will be

a raffle and auction of which 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Cudeca.

The evening’s entertainment will be provided by renowned artist Ricky Lavazza with the evening hosted by the CEO of Talk Radio Europe, Steve Gilmour with Nigel Goldman running the auction and raffle which includes some wonderful prizes all kindly donated by local businesses and individuals, in addition knowing Sandro, I can also imagine he will have sweet-talked many of his celebrity friends to donate memorabilia and items which will hopefully create a, bidding war all in the name of this good cause.

Hot Toddy Egg Nog Warm and toasty and just in time for winter, the Hot Toddy is a classic hot drink. Most black and green teas mix well with the sweetness of the honey and lemon, but from there it’s a personal preference and some interesting toddies are possible. There is also a Gin Toddy that is a great variation of this warm cocktail.

1 oz brandy, whiskey, or rum 1 Tbsp honey 1/4 lemon 1 cup hot water 1 tea bag

A delicious drink for Christmas. The perfect combination of rum, egg, nutmeg, cinnamon and whipped cream.

1 cup coconut milk 1 cup sweetened condensed milk 1 cup evaporated milk 1 cup white rum, or to taste 1 cup water 3 cinnamon sticks 4 egg yolks, well beaten Ground cinnamon for garnish

Coat the bottom of a mug or an Irish coffee glass with honey. Add the liquor and the juice of the lemon quarter. On the side, heat water in a tea kettle and add the tea bag to make hot tea. Pour the steaming tea into the glass and stir.

Combine all of the milks and the rum in a blender or a food processor. Set aside. Boil the water with the cinnamon sticks. Cool to room temperature. Discard the cinnamon sticks. Combine all of the ingredients except the cinnamon and beat well in a blender or food processor. Pour into glass bottles and refrigerate until ready to use. To serve, transfer the eggnog to a punch bowl and sprinkle the cinnamon on top

The Irish had the right idea when they combined robust Irish whiskey with hot, black coffee. This hot cocktail has long been a favorite in Irish pubs, with a popularity that could be said to rival Guinness (as tough as that may be). Below the recipe is a little Irish Coffee history.

Hot buttered rum has all the makings of a delicious and comforting baked good: butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. It’s almost as if a buttery caramel cookie was melted and poured into a mug.

4 ounces strong, rich hot coffee 1 ounce Irish whiskey 2 tsp brown sugar 1 ounce lightly whipped double cream Preparation: Pour the sugar then coffee into a warm Irish coffee glass, mug, or other heat-proof stemmed glass. Stir until dissolved. Add the Irish whiskey and stir again.

Float the cream on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon. Do not stir again, instead drink the coffee through the cream.

I rish Coffee

1 small slice soft butter 1 tsp brown sugar Optional spices to taste: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, allspice Vanilla extract 2 oz dark rum Hot water Place the butter, sugar and spices at the bottom of an Irish coffee glass or mug.

Mix well or muddle.

Pour in the rum and hot water.

ulled M wine This tastes like Christmas in a glass. It’s a lovely celebration of those traditional festive spices like cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Let everything cook away and warm up gently so the flavours have time to mingle with the wine.

Ingredients 1 bottle of dry red wine (750 ml) one lemon 2 sticks of cinnamon 3 cloves 3 tablespoons of sugar some cardamom (or ginger) Heat the red wine in a pot (don’t boil). Cut the lemon into slices and add to the wine. Then add the cinnamon, cloves, sugar and a little cardamom (to taste). Heat everything for about 5 minutes - do not boil - and let stand for about an hour. Before serving, reheat and strain.

This delicious hot apple cider drink is a speciality of New England. Spiced hot mulled cider is the perfect drink to serve during the holidays.

1.5 litres cider 1 orange, zest pared into strips 4 small cinnamon sticks, halved 4 cloves ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg 2 tbsp brown sugar 50ml rum Method Pour the cider into a large pan and add the other ingredients, except the rum. Heat gently on a low heat for 20 minutes; do not allow the mixture to boil as this will burn off the alcohol.

Strain the warm cider into glasses and add the rum, if using. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a strip of orange zest from the pan.

New look for Fortnum’s Teas

The elixir of life

Fortnum’s famous teas have been given a new look, with beautifully redesigned tins and some new blends and rare teas to try.

The new tin designs, which feature Georgianinspired details on a background of eau de nil.

The shape of the tin now tells you what kind of tea is inside; our Famous Blends, such as Royal Blend and Countess Grey, are found in square tins, and our Classic World Teas – teas from a single country of origin, such as Ceylon Orange Pekoe or Assam Superb – are packaged in pretty new cylindrical tins with a distinctly vintage feel.

The tins are practical as well as decorative; they are airtight, so can be refilled and reused as often as you like.

They have also added Heritage Tea Blends to the range, retrieved from their archive and packed into tins decorated with a beautiful illustration; Old Silver Teapot and Empire Blend are two fine

examples. In addition they have also created two new blends in honour of recent historic occasions, chiefly Wedding Breakfast Blend, which celebrated the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and a special Coronation Blend. Now a permanent part of our range, they join the ranks of our much-loved Classic Blends, such as Earl Grey Classic and Queen Anne Blend, all of which have a loyal following.

Now is the perfect time to upgrade your daily cup to a cup of Fortnum’s tea

The long awaited Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey has finally been unveiled this autumn. Blended with a unique honey l liqueur for a taste that is one of a kind and unmistakably Jack.

Walnut Tartlets

Looking for an elegant yet easy appetizer for your next cocktail party? These gorgonzola-fig tarts are the perfect combination of savoury and sweet, and are easy to make using refrigerated pie crust. They may be bite-size, but these little tarts are bursting with big flavours!

Ingredients: One package refrigerated pie crusts, such as Pillsbury, softened 6 dried figs or pitted dates, coarsely chopped 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese 1 tablespoon honey Directions: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Unroll the pie crust onto a flat surface. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut 24 rounds from the pie crust, rerolling the crust scraps if necessary. Gently press the rounds into 24 ungreased mini muffin cups.

In a small bowl, mix together the figs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts. Spoon slightly less than 1 teaspoon of the fig mixture into each cup. Break up any larger pieces of cheese and top each tartlet with slightly less than 1 teaspoon cheese.

Bake for 7-11 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Remove the tartlets from the pan to a serving plate. Drizzle the tartlets with honey. Serve warm.

Mince Pies Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without Mince Pies served either hot or cold on their own or with Brandy Butter. Simply delicious!

Ingredients:

12 oz/350g all-purpose/plain flour Pinch of salt 8oz/ 225g butter, cubed or an equal mix of butter and lard 1 beaten egg + 1 cold water as needed 1 jar of mincemeat, shop bought or home made 2 tbsp icing sugar

Directions: Pre-heat the oven to 400°F/205°C/Gas 6 To make the Pastry: Place the flour, butter and salt into a large clean bowl.

Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, working as quickly as possible to prevent the dough becoming warm.

Add the egg to the mixture and using a cold knife stir, add cold water a teaspoon at a time until the mixture binds but don’t make it too wet that it is sticky.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 15 minutes, up to 30 minutes.

mixture resembles breadcrumbs, add the egg slowly, through the funnel, then add water a tsp at a time until the dough comes together in a ball.

Wrap in plastic wrap and chill as above.

Assemble the Pies: Choose a muffin or bun tin for the size of the pie you want. Choose from a standard 12-cup muffin tin down to small canapé size. The number of pies will depend on the size of cup you choose.

Dust a work surface lightly with a little flour and roll out two-thirds of the pastry to 1/8”/3mm thick. Cut circles to line the cups of your tin, don’t worry if the pastry doesn’t come to the top.

Fill the pastry lined tins 2/3 full with mincemeat.

Roll out the remaining pastry to the same thickness and cut smaller circles to fit as lids on the tarts or to be decorative, cut stars or other fancy shapes.

Dampen the edges of the tart bases with a little cold water and press the lids on. Make a small hole in the surface of each pie with a small sharp knife to allow the steam to escape (you can omit this if using star-shaped lids).

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 mins (15 mins if making canape size) or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the icing sugar.

The dough can also be made in a food processor by mixing the flour, butter and salt in the bowl of the processor on a pulse setting. When the

The Fortune Cookie ishes azine w g a M h rc Sunsea ays.... py holid p a h u o y

m

any of you will be surprised to learn that the popular fortune Cookie so often associated with Chinese food is in fact Japanese in origin.

As far back as the 19th century, the fortune cookie very similar in appearance to the modern fortune cookie was made in Kyoto, Japan.

As with today’s cookies the Japanese version contained a fortune, however, the small slip of paper was wedged into the bend of the cookie rather than placed inside the hollow portion.

This kind of cookie is called tsujiura senbei and are still sold in some regions of Japan, notably the neighborhood of Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine in Kyoto.

They contain a fortune; however, the small slip of paper was wedged into the bend of the cookie rather than placed inside the hollow portion. This kind of cookie is called tsujiura senbei and are still sold in some regions of Japan, notably the neighborhood of Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine in Kyoto.

The History Most of the people who claim to have introduced the cookie to the United States are Japanese, so the theory is that these bakers were modifying a cookie design which they were aware of from their days in Japan.

Makoto Hagiwara of Golden Gate Park’s Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco is reported to have been the first person in the USA to have served the modern version of the cookie when he did so at the tea garden in the 1890s or early 1900s. The fortune cookies were made by a San Francisco bakery, Benkyodo.

David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles, has made a competing claim that he invented the cookie in 1918. San Francisco’s mock Court of Historical Review attempted to settle the dispute in 1983.

During the proceedings, a fortune cookie was introduced as a key piece of evidence with a message reading, “S.F. Judge who rules for L.A. Not Very Smart Cookie”.

A federal judge of the Court of Historical Review determined that the cookie originated with Hagiwara and the court ruled in favor of San Francisco. Subsequently, the city of Los Angeles condemned the decision.

Seiichi Kito, the founder of Fugetsu-do of Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, also claims to have invented the cookie.[8] Kito claims to have gotten the idea of putting a message in a cookie from Omikuji (fortune slip) which are sold at temples and shrines in Japan.

According to his story, he sold his cookies to Chinese restaurants where they were

greeted with much enthusiasm in both the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. Thus Kito’s main claim is that he is responsible for the cookie being so strongly associated with Chinese restaurants.

Up to around World War II, fortune cookies were known as “fortune tea cakes”—likely reflecting their origins in Japanese tea cakes.

Fortune cookies moved from being a confection dominated by Japanese-Americans to one dominated by Chinese-Americans sometime around World War II. One theory for why this occurred is because of the Japanese American internment during World War II, which forcibly put over 100,000 Japanese-Americans in internment camps, including those who had produced fortune cookies. This gave an opportunity for Chinese manufacturers.

Fortune cookies before the early 20th century, however, were all made by hand. The fortune cookie industry changed dramatically after the fortune cookie machine was invented by Shuck Yee from Oakland, California.

The machine allowed for mass production of fortune cookies which subsequently allowed the cookies to drop in price to become the novelty and courtesy dessert many Americans are familiar with after their meals at most Chinese restaurants today.

Modern and Contemporary Art WHY COLLECT ?

There are different reasons why someone feels the exigency to collect art: it can be for cultural reasons, for economical and investment reasons, or simply for esthetical ones but all have in common a deep sensibility, a great spiritual depth and a strong love for beauty.

HoA is mainly engaged in contemporary art, but in case of advice for the establishment of private collections or simply to find a work coveted by a collector who has addressed to us, we can, through our international contacts, to assess and achieve even modern art.

Collecting contemporary art and is one of the most exciting ways to interpret the world right now, like living in a live show, through a process that ties together the most diverse aspects of aesthetic and conceptuality linked and guided by the collector’s personality.

One of our collectors says: “I started to buy works of art several years ago, but I think I have become a collector only recently, meaning as collector one who is buying without thinking about where to place it, and sees collecting as a reflection of his own personality.

Collecting art is a path of personal growth. We have just to remember that a collection is not a body of work, but the portrait of taste, passion and culture of the owner.

As it is said by Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate Modern Museum in London: “If you can afford it, the best way to deal with art is buy it, live it with passion and take care of it”.

and showcasing the work at your own home, then you tend to make more organic choices, to include works by artists who at the first instance do not totally reflect your taste, but that trace a path in the art scene.

Gallery Houses of Art, works to promote high quality contemporary and modern art. We represent international artists with a solid important background who feature in international collections and museums as well as emerging and mid career international artists. At the same time we support a select group of young artists by exhibiting their works from an early stage to take them to a level of international exposure, collaborating for this purpose with other international galleries.

We assist collectors at all levels in the primary and secondary market and provide a detailed provenance of all works of art exhibited.

HoA SCULPTOR OF LIGHT

Helidon Xhixha transforms the force and energy of the creative sculptural material , and then transforms this matter into light energy.

No coincidence that all of his work with metal plates have titles such as Energy or Light.

Of course the sculptures with more vivid and shiny surfaces are those with pure stainless steel mirror, while those with the colours in red, white, blue, yellow, black (entitled Energy through the red, and so on) stimulate the suggestions of more muffled intensity, but it goes deeper in the maze of monochrome surfaces.

The artist has also experienced other surfaces always bare steel , but with different processing of the surface, for example satin finishing or

the rust effect with treatment Corten. The results are interesting , because they allow you to check the different variations relative of matter, space light. Most surfaces are dull and rough, more emerges in its expressiveness primary concrete physicality of iron. We must now speak of a different processing of this approach to sculpture, the artist develops in parallel.

These sculptures are fixed with pins pedestals or even (and this is the best solution) are laid directly on the ground or on tables , depending on the size. Their appearance is, in some ways, a unique hybrid of relief and sculpture in the round , whose privileged view tends to be that front ( bifrontal ) , but that of foreshortening can reserve good surprises.

The two faces can not be seen at the same time and then the observer is forced to turn around the sculpture to assess the relationship of free - contrast, divergences and convergences between the two parties.

And in fact we can say that the sculptures of Helidon Xhixha, even if you do not want to represent nothing but themselves, for their complex aesthetic vitality become inexhaustible sources of stimuli and imaginative reflections.

You can find Helidon Xhixha at: Location: HoA Marbella Club Hotel, Bvld. Alfonso von Hohenlohe, Marbella Tel: +34 952 857 196

A Tap on the Window by Linwood Barclay

H

ailed as a "suspense master” by Stephen King, Linwood Barclay now reveals the dark side of a small town—and the even darker secrets that hide there...

It’s been two months since private investigator Cal Weaver’s teenage son Scott died in a tragic accident. Ever since, he and his wife have drifted apart, fracturing a once normal life. Cal is mired in grief, a grief he can’t move past. And maybe his grief has clouded his judgment. Because driving home one night, he makes his first big mistake.

A girl drenched in rain taps on his car window and asks for a ride as he sits at a stoplight.

Even though he knows a fortysomething man picking up a teenage hitchhiker is a fool, he lets her in. She’s the same age as Scott, and maybe she can help Cal find the dealer who sold his son the drugs that killed him. After a brief stop at a roadside diner, Cal senses that something’s not right with the girl or the situation. But it’s too late. He’s already involved.

Now Cal is drawn into a nightmare of pain and suspicion. Something is horribly wrong in the small town of Griffon in upstate New York. There are too many secrets there, too many lies and cover-ups. And Cal has decided to expose those secrets one by one.

The French Market Cookbook By Clotilide Dusoulier

C

ook from the farmer’s market with inspired vegetarian recipes— many of which are gluten-free and dairy-free—with a French twist, all highlighting seasonal produce.

ChocolateAndZucchini.com food blogger Clotilde Dusoulier is not a vegetarian. But she has, like many of us, chosen to eat less meat and fish, and is always looking for new ways to cook what looks best at the market.

In The French Market Cookbook, she takes us through the seasons in 82 recipes—and explores the love story between French cuisine and vegetables.

Choosing what’s ripe and in season means Clotilde does not rely heavily on the cheese, cream, and pastas that often overpopulate vegetarian recipes. Instead she lets the bright flavors of the vegetables shine through: carrots are lightly spiced with star anise and vanilla in a soup made with almond milk; tomatoes are jazzed up by mustard in a gorgeous tart; winter squash stars in golden Corsican turnovers; and luscious peaches bake in a cardamomscented custard. With 75 color photographs of the tempting dishes and the abundant markets of Paris, and with Clotilde’s charming stories of shopping and cooking in France, The French Market Cookbook is a transportive and beautiful cookbook for food lovers everywhere

Desperately trying to escape the shadow of the Beatles, he became an outlaw hippy millionaire, hiding out on his Scottish farmhouse in Kintyre before travelling the world with makeshift bands and barefoot children.

It was a time of numerous drug busts and brilliant, banned and occasionally baffling records. For McCartney, it was an edgy, liberating and sometimes frightening period of his life that has largely been forgotten.

'Man on the Run' paints an illuminating picture: from McCartney's personal crisis following the Beatles split through his apparent victimisation by the authorities to the rude awakening of his imprisonment for marijuana possession in Japan in 1980 and the shocking wake-up call of John Lennon's murder. Ultimately, it poses the question: if you were one quarter of the Beatles, could you really outrun your past?

NOVEMBER 2013 Aries - the ram 21.Mar/20.Apr You have been troubled in recent weeks by political, cultural, religious, academic, legal, and/or media related debates. Now, you are actually beginning to enjoy aspects of these same topics.

Gemini - the twins 21.May/20.Jun Both of your financial sectors are clashing this month. However, they both get along beautifully with your work sector and your success sector, so it is not as if you are actually struggling financially.

You are in a mood to open your mind and It is more likely that you are trying to debate to explore new ways of looking at things. That is not to say that you are whether it is better to collect a regular salary a pushover or that you no longer believe whatever you believe. You are or an irregular commission check. One might be more reliable, but the just in the mood to learn more. You are also still enjoying some profitable other has the chance of being much bigger. You have very strong and energy within your professional life. helpful planets in both locations, so maybe agree to a mixture of the two. Read more about what this month holds for Gemini.

Taurus - the bull 21.Apr/20.May

Cancer - the crab 21.Jun/20.Jul

You are not opposed to working solo and you are known to be a valuable team player. But this month, your best bet is to work within a partnership.

You have a small handful of planets moving through the area of your chart that encourages you to have fun, fall in love, play with children and pets, learn new hobbies, dance, sing, etc.

You and a spouse, best friend, or business partner are able to have fun, find great deals, travel, learn, settle legal problems, work through trust issues, figure out how to avoid holiday squabbles, etc. as long as the two of you stick together. It can be nice knowing that someone has your back.

You and a spouse, best friend, or business partners discover that you can have some great fun together this month. If any disagreements should arise, you can turn to these playful activities to help you find reasons to compromise.

Leo - the lion 23.Jul/22.Aug If you work from home, you could find that you are more productive and more profitable than usual. If you want to work on household projects that add value to your home, this is a good time for that too. You could also enjoy working from home or working in homeoriented industries.

Or maybe you are just having a good time cleaning and decorating for the upcoming holiday season. Whatever it is, your home, work, and wealth sectors are all getting along quite nicely, so have fun with it!

Virgo - the virgin 23.Aug/22.Sep Your schedule is getting rather full. You have many lovely opportunities to socialize, mingle, entertain, shop, and spend time with all kinds of people within your local community.

At times, you feel a little bit of a tug-of-war as things get really busy and too many people are inviting you to too many events. But you are having a great time and somehow you still manage to find time to work on bringing more romance, trust, and/or financial security into your private life.

Libra - the scales 23.Sep/22.Oct This is a good month for focusing on your financial, professional, and residential goals. Each of these topics experience moments of greatness this month and are often working together to help you accomplish more than one objective at a time.

By the end of the month, you could be focusing on some fun and guilt free holiday shopping.

Scorpio - the scorpion 23.Oct/22.Nov Professional dramas of the recent past are beginning to calm down. They are still there, but not as intense and annoying as before. You are often encouraged to take on leadership roles this month.

Socially and commercially, you are really quiet effective, charming, entertaining, knowledgeable, and persuasive. People like doing business with you and they like simply hanging out with you. You are enjoying yourself even when you are working. You have a chance to get a jump start on your holiday shopping, but will need to be careful just before Thanksgiving when your budget is showing signs of distress. Read more about what this month holds for Scorpio.

Sagittarius - the archer 23.Nov/22.Dec You may find a desire to “win” is highlighted since Mars moved into your career zone. If there’s a project you’re keen to finish, you may work extremely hard and put in a lot of energy and focus, until it’s completed.

However, it’s also wise to avoid clashing with authority figures. The trick will be working with them, not against them.

Capricorn - the goat 23.Dec/20.Jan Your private life is such an odd blend of personalities this month. There are times when you are ticked off at your roommates or parents and then there are other times when you are working really hard to bring more forgiveness, peace, harmony, and spirituality into these same relationships.

The same is true of your neighbours and extended family too. At times, you love them with all your heart and really enjoy hanging out with them and then at other times, you are absolutely sick and tired of their dysfunctional behaviours and choices. This is partly due to the big slow moving planets that are camping out in your “home” and “community” sectors and partly because of a small handful of planets that are taking turns blessing and cursing these two areas of your life. Such mixed emotions about your loved ones so close to the holidays can be incredibly stressful, but you wouldn’t care if you didn’t care, right?

Aquarius - the water-bearer 21.Jan/19.Feb The areas of your chart that govern personal wealth, self-confidence, daily work, profits, success, leadership, bureaucracies, and inner peace are all working beautifully together in various combinations this month.

When you experience occasional stress or challenges, there is always one or more of these areas of your chart helping, encouraging, or problem solving so that the negatives are rarely going to outweigh the positives. You do not have much playtime, romance, or “me time” this month, but you are still happy and feeling pretty good about your career and finances.

Pisces - the fish 20.Feb/20.Mar You can feel very connected to a friend, partner or love interest, as a lovely line-up may bring out the best in you and another.

It can be a good time for generally having fun or for a pleasant date night. Though someone you know could be a bit more demanding than usual, they’re likely to have your best interests at heart.
