I’m literally glowing with love right now! I’ve just spent four days in McAllen, Texas, with four awesome ladies. Two years ago, after all going through personal tragedies in their lives, they got together and formed a non-profit organization called Infinite Love to help the homeless and cancer patients in their community. And what’s more, they founded the non-profit on 14th February, 2012 – not only is this date Valentine’s Day, but it’s also the one year anniversary of the death of the ladies’ nephew, who had endured cancer since the age of eighteen. In light of his happy spirit and giving nature, Infinite Love was born. And these 4 women (3 sisters and 1 cousin) all spread such pure Love wherever they go… and yes, it’s highly contagious!

When we love others without judgment, and from the purity of our heart, our energetic vibration raises and we feel amazing, in a state of bliss and joy. Not only that, but from this new vibration we attract only the best things in life and everything flows with ease. I imagine you’ve heard the saying “like attracts like,” and in the same way “love attracts love” too. So that means when we love, we’re also loved. And at the heart of life, that’s really what we all want, right?

Along with the fact that my heart is overflowing with Love right now, there’s other news to report. I am now an official spoon-bender! After a little practice I can now bend sturdy metal spoons with the power of thought and the knowledge that everything, EVERYTHING on Earth is made of energy. When we know and understand that, we can change the energy and

so in our new wisdom we can make metal soft, for example… I’m not sure the owners in the eatery where I practiced my new spoon-bending skill in were too happy, but now I know that if I can change the energy of a spoon, I can change the energy of my thoughts too – and create the life of my dreams – just as we all can if we so wish. This spiritual “woo-woo” stuff just gets more and more interesting… hope you think so too!

Strange News Full Monty - A 100-year-old woman celebrated her milestone birthday - by hiring a male stripper for a party at a pub.

Doris Deahardie even brought along her own bottle of baby oil for her special night out in North Wheatley, Nottinghamshire.

The centenarian travelled from her home in a nearby village by limousine for the celebration, reports the Retford Times.

She had chosen the stripogram herself from an online directory and requested the 'Full Monty' despite her advanced years.

The widow, who lives with her son, Barry, and his wife, Sharon, had originally wanted to mark her century by booking a helicopter ride in a repeat of her 90th birthday celebration.

Sharon explained: "She asked me if when she was in the air the pilot would strip for her! We told her that no, pilots don't do that, we'll have to get you a real stripper, and she chose one herself; she said 'he looks like he's been looked after'!

"I told the lad he might have to be careful with her because of her age, but then she told me she wanted the whole lot!

It was brilliant, a really good night.”

Fairytale ending - A Peter Pan actor surprised his Wendy co-star - and the audience - by proposing on stage at the end of the show.

Sandor Sturbi, 28, popped the question to his co-star and real-life girlfriend Jane Mary Sullivan, 22, at the end of their performance at the Glasgow SSE Hydro.

He went off-script to address the audience, saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, normally this show would continue with Peter Pan watching Wendy and giving her a kiss.

"Although this is not a normal show this evening. It is a Dutchman, Sandor Sturbi, looking at the love of his life."

The actress, whose stage name is Lilly-Jane Young, burst into tears as she realised what was happening. Mr Sturbi got down on one knee and proposed with a blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring. There were cheers from the cast and audience when Wendy accepted Peter Pan's offer. Miss Young, who had been dating Mr Sturbi for over a year, said she was shocked and thrilled by the proposal.

"I thought it was a technical hitch and was starting to panic," she told The Daily Record. "I feel like the luckiest girl alive and can't wait to marry Sandor."

De Cotta Law RENTAL OF SPANISH PROPERTY

By De Cotta Law A number of British and other foreign residents have returned to their home countries to find work or for health or social reasons. Many want to keep their Spanish property rather than selling in a buyer´s market. Although the price of property is recovering renting the Spanish property can bring a steady income which covers the running costs and in some cases pays part or all of a mortgage. Standard rental contracts can be purchased off the peg but it is wise to get some advice on the law on Urban rentals so that you don´t have any surprises.

The best way of avoiding a dispute is to have a formal contract tailored to your particular situation. For example a short-term contract of 6 to 11 months is better if you don`t want to be obliged to extend the contract term to 3 years and a further 1. However a tenant who can show that it is their principal residence or “home” and that they have been in the property for a continual period of a year or more can contest the continual granting of “short-term” contracts. If however you are a landlord and need to return to the property to live on a permanent basis you can give 2 months’ notice to quit to the tenant.

Another possibility is that you are trying to sell the property and may require access for viewing by potential purchasers. This needs to be very clearly put in the contract to avoid any problems. A one month deposit is normal in rental contracts and tenants normally pay for utilities.

As a landlord is very important to have Civil Responsibility insurance and to specify that you want this to cover a rented property.

For non-tax residents who rent out property taxation of 24.75% is levied on rentals. A form 210 needs to be completed if you are a nonresident Spanish property owner. This can be entered quarterly and if you are joint owners each owner you must both submit this form. If you are a tax resident in the UK and declare the rental in the UK you can make a double tax claim to ensure you are not paying twice and relief will be given equal to the Spanish tax paid or the UK tax liability which is the smaller.

Tax residents need to declare rental on property other than their home. This needs to be de-

clared on your annual return. There are generous allowances and many expenses are deductible and accountants can advise on this aspect of rentals.

There are a number of ways the tax authorities are catching up on undeclared rentals such as tying up changes in utilities with ownership of properties as this can show the existence of an undeclared rental contract.

For more information on any aspect of property law or other legal matter, please contact your Nerja De Cotta Law Office for a private consultation.

Good Security Question Is my home insurance invalid if I don't set my burglar alarm?

If you take advantage of the discount on your homeowner's insurance because you have a security system installed, you should know this.

If you don’t use your alarm, or are prone to forget to turn it on and are subsequently burgled, you may have your claim turned down as your insurer could argue that you have failed to take reasonable steps to protect your property. Also, insurances do not pay out without regular servicing of the alarm and a certificate that has been done by a qualified company. You should ask for an invoice with the tax number of both yourself and the company. You should always insist on a regular service by your installer, whether you have home insurance or not. The security system is set up for you and not for the insurance company. We think any small discount you might get is not worth it. It just opens another back door for the insurance company to get away with endless discussions if you can’t prove proper arming and service.

When you need any guidance or help concerning your home security, get in touch with us. ¡PERFECT Alarm! SL www.perfect-alarm.com

“PEACE OF MIND” FOR LIFE FROM IBERIAN FUNERAL PLANS Why even think about your own funeral?

Because, like it or not, one certainty in life is, we are all going to die.

But normally none of us know how, when or where death will occur.

JUST THINK 1. Would your family or friends know who to contact in the first place?

2. Could they cope with the language barrier?

3. Could they cope with all the paperwork and legalities?

4. Would funds be readily available to cover costs?

5. Family could be thousands of miles away 6. Would they have any control over costs at a time of grief?

A GUARANTEED PREPAID FUNERAL PLAN WITH IBERIAN FUNERAL PLANS GIVES “PEACE OF MIND” FOR LIFE’S FINAL EVENT. BENEFITS INCLUDE:

1.Funeral costs are fixed - no matter how long you live.

2. No health or age restrictions - unlike some insurances.

3. Removes pressure from loved ones at a time of stress.

4. Fully operational and legally registered Spanish company, which complies with all Spanish requirements (for security).

5.Reputable contracted English speaking funeral directors.

6. No interest charges should you wish to spread payments.

7. Plans are fully transferable to UK should you relocate.

8.No obligation - no pressure home visits from our dedicated staff.

Definitions Of The Word Up! Who could have thought that one teeny weeny word could have so many meanings...!

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.

When we awake in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends.

And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.

We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.

At other times the little word has really special meanings.

People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

This UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about 30 definitions.

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.

It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with 100 or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth.

When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so.............

Time to shut UP.....!

Interesting Facts - The nation's present name originates from "Gabão", Portuguese for "cloak", which is roughly the shape of the estuary of the Komo River by Libreville. A small population and oil and mineral reserves have helped Gabon become one of Africa's wealthier countries; in general, these circumstances have allowed the country to maintain and conserve its pristine rain forest and rich biodiversity.

El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba - one of the longest-serving heads of state in the world dominated the country's political scene for four decades (1967-2009) following independence from France in 1960.

In 2002, President Omar Bongo Ondimba nominated more than 11% of Gabon's territory as National Park (13 parks in total), which may be the largest area of nature parks in the world.

The Pygmy people were the first of Gabon's ethnic groups to inhabit the country.

Film iew USTU: NTY Rev AUGGE CO A OS

August: Osage County tells the dark, hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.

Letts' play made its Broadway debut in December 2007 after premiering at Chicago's legendary Steppenwolf Theatre earlier that year.

It continued with a successful international run.

The themes of the movie largely revolve

around sisterly feuding, unhappy marriage, adultery, cancer, incest and death. No one has a kind word to say about anyone. It’s a starstudded cast with Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Sam Shepard, Chris Cooper, and Benedict Cumberbatch among the actors.

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

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

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

Cats & Dogs Some self-evident truths about pets...

I hope to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am

Buy a dog a toy and it will play with it forever. Buy a cat a present and it will play with the wrapper for 10 minutes

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful

Although cats are rather delicate creatures, and they are subject to a good many ailments, I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia

People that hate cats will come back as dogs in their next life

Dogs and cats instinctively know the exact moment their owners will wake up. Then they wake them 10 minutes sooner Dog's have owners. Cat's have staff I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult?

We wonder why the dogs always drink out of our toilets, but look at it from their point of view: Why do humans keep peeing into their water bowls?

No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does

Women and cats will do as they please... men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Outside of a dog, a book is probably man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

When a man's best friend is his dog, that dog has a problem.

News...News...News!!!

Classic News Clips Police reveal that a woman arrested for shoplifting had a whole salami in her knickers.

When asked why, she said it was because she was missing her Italian boyfriend.

(Reuters via The Manchester Evenings News) Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen van, because they cannot issue a description. It's a special branch vehicle, and they don't want the public to know what it looks like. (The Guardian) After being charged £20 for a £10 overdraft, 30 year old Michael Howard of Leeds changed his name by deed poll to Yorkshire Bank PLC Are Fascist Bastards. The bank has now asked him to close his account, and Mr. Bastards has asked them to repay the 69p balance, by cheque, made out in his new name. (The Guardian) Would the congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the church labelled 'for the

sick' is for monetary donations only.

(Churchtown Parish Magazine) There must, for instance, be something very strange in a man who, if left a lone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

(Glasgow Evening News) A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable teeth was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coastguard spokesman commented, "this sort of thing is all too common". (The Times) Commenting on a complaint from a Mr. Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West gas said "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr. Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that blew his house to pieces." (Bangkok Post)

Customer Review We would like to make known our experience of an excellent construction company that we have used recently. Written by Gavin and Susan Ellis – La Vinuela “In these times of poor service, economic strife and ‘getting ripped-off’, I feel the need to spread some good news based on personal experience of a local construction company – L T Construction.

There are reliable, competent, helpful, friendly and reasonably priced people out there such as this one and I fully endorse his services.

Having moved permanently to the mountains above Lake Vinuela 3 years ago, we had a list of things that we wanted to do and some that HAD to be done and having heard of a series of horror stories about builders etc, did not know who to call when we had a nasty problem with the septic tank and subsequently had an expensive and bad experience with a ‘so called’ expert!

A monthly article in The Sentinella caught our

eye and a quick visit to his web-site seemed to justify giving Lee Talbot a call. Amazingly, the call was taken, he visited the same day – YES THE SAME DAY – diagnosed the problem and gave us a quote on the spot which was very competitive.

Having agreed the price, he arrived with his men the next morning – YES THE NEXT MORNING – and by lunchtime the whole job of relaying a section of drain, reconfiguring the pipework to the tank, running a vent pipe and pressure jetting was complete and he then asked for payment less than the quote – YES LESS THAN THE QUOTE ! Obviously we were delighted.

We are currently enjoying another experience of Lees’ excellent service, visiting the same day as the call and carrying out the work over the next two days.

We cannot recommend LT Construction too highly, check out the web-site and have a chat with Lee, he will not let you down!”

Funny Stories Pregnant Turkey

A well-planned retirement

One year at Easter, my mum and I went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, I decided to play a trick. I told my sister that we needed some wine from the shop and she and mum should go.

When my sister left, I took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed one of those tiny chickens (poussin) into it and restuffed the turkey. I then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.

When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.

With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, You've cooked a pregnant bird!"

At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!

Yep, you got it....SHE'S BLONDE!

Outside Bristol Zoo, there is a car park for 150 cars and 8 coaches or buses. It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 and coaches £5. This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he just didn't turn up for work.

"Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management, "We'd better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant..."

"Er... no", said the Council, "That car park is your responsibility."

"Er... no", said Bristol Zoo management, "The attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn't he?"

"Er... NO!" insisted the Council.

Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain, is a bloke who had been taking the car park fees, estimated at £400 pounds per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million.

And no one even knows his name.

Despite Gordon's home in New York, the Volvo and him has traveled many km in Canada, Mexico and even Europe when he went to visit the Swedish headquarters of Volvo.

Gordon plans to reach the 3 million mile (4.8 million km) mark by the time he turns 73. That feat will require him to drive an average of around 5,500 miles per month.

Klimacentro - Save Money!

Maintenance of our air conditioning units A gesture that will save us a lot of money Most cooling units are also capable of heating our home but also have much lower consumption than any other electrically-powered system and are 4-5 times more efficient.

how does it guarantee the absence of fungi and bacteria?

As the air passes through the unit it leaves particles and organisms that can reproduce and form colonies. This can have a harmful effect on our health, so it is important to breathe clean air!

Nothing produces more power and consumes less than a modern Inverter system You should have your systems checked periodically to maintain efficiency and extend the life of your unit. why do I need a maintenance check now?

Because your unit will use less energy! An air conditioning unit is a heat exchanger, ie. it takes in hot air and gives out cold in summer, and produces the opposite effect in winter. Its efficiency depends on how clean the units are; a dirty one will not stop working but it will use a lot more electricity.

why we remove odours Equipment treated with specific products guarantees the absence of odours caused by micro-organisms. This also makes our environment healthier.

In summary Maintenance will allow us to locate problems undetectable to the user, such as operating without the proper refrigerant, which will result in increased consumption and the possibility of damage to the compressor. Equipment properly installed and working under normal conditions will need maintenance at least every two years.

GOOD MAINTENANCE EQUALS QUALITY FOR OUR HEALTH AND SAVINGS FOR OUR POCKET. See main advert on page 118

Male Or female?

Here are some reasons why it’s better to be female...

We can get off with teenagers without being called dirty old perverts.

We got off the Titanic first.

Our boyfriend’s clothes make us look gorgeous - guys look like complete idiots in ours.

We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.

We never ejaculate prematurely.

We can be groupies. Male groupies are stalkers.

We can cry and get off speeding fines.

We get to flirt with systems support men who always return our calls, and are nice to us when we blow up our computers.

We live longer, so we can be cantankerous old biddies wearing inappropriate clothes and shouting at strangers......

We absently hum tunes from musicals without anyone being suspect of our sexuality.

Men die earlier so we get to cash in on the life insurance.

When we buy a vibrator it is glamorous. When men buy a blow up doll it’s pathetic.

We don’t have to get our strength up between sessions...and it’s much easier for us to get "some" in the first place.

A Young Reader!

What Does Daddy Work As?

A little three year old boy is sitting on the toilet.

His mother thinks he has been in there too long, so she goes in to see what's up.

The little boy is sitting on the toilet reading a Sentinella Magazine but about every 10 seconds or so he puts the book down, grips onto the toilet seat with his left hand and hits himself on top of the head with his right hand.

The teacher asked her class to write down on a piece of paper the type of work their Daddy’s did.

The children, very excitedly, scribbled their answers.

One by one, the teacher asked each child to stand and describe the job.

There was much laughter and screaming, that is apart from little Tommy.

“Tommy, why do you look so sad?” asked the teacher.

Tommy slowly rose to his feet, and replied: “My Dad’s a stripper in a gay bar.”

The other children remained silent, as Tommy continued.

“Sometimes, he doesn’t come home, and my Mummy sits crying. Sometimes, he sells his body for other men’s pleasure.”

There were gasps around the classroom.

The teacher acted quickly and dismissed the children, telling them to go out and play.

She then walked up to little Tommy, put her arm around his shoulders, and asked: “Is all that true, Tommy?”

His mother says: "Billy, are you all right? You've been in here for a while".

Billy says: "Im fine, Mummy... I just haven't done it yet."

M o t h e r says: "Ok, you can stay here a few more minutes.

But, Billy, why are you hitting yourself on the head?"

Billy says: “It works on the Tomato Sauce bottle!”

“No, not at all Miss. He really plays cricket for England, but I was too embarrassed to say.”

Blondes & Frozen Crabs

Grandma’s Natural Remedies

A lawyer boarded an airplane in New Orleans, with a box of frozen crabs and asked a blonde stewardess to take care of them for him. She took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator.

Yes, our grandmothers had their own natural remedies. Here one grandma passes on her knowledge to her grandchild from her own personal experiences:

He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen, mentioning in a very haughty manner that he was a lawyer and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen if she let them thaw out.

Needless to say, she was annoyed by his behavior.

"To improve my digestion I drink beer, for loss of appetite I drink white wine, for low blood pressure I drink red wine, and if I have a cold I drink whisky."

"And when do you drink water?"

"I never had such a serious illness!"

Shortly before landing in New York, she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, "Would the lawyer who gave me the crabs in New Orleans, please raise your hand?" Not one hand went up.... so she took them home and ate them and they were simply delicious.

Two lessons here: 1. Lawyers aren't as smart as they think they are.

2. Blondes aren't as dumb as some people might think.

92 Year Old Pirate 92 year old Hollywood pirate hero to soldiers Hyman Strachman is a WW2 veteran that spends most of his time pirating movies. He started doing this as a hobby shortly after his wife passed away to keep himself occupied. Since 2004 Hy has copied an estimated 300,000 movies and sent every single one to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan – out of his own pocket.

Hyman spent approximately $30,000 on his hobby so far since he began in 2004. The cost of purchasing pirated copies of movies, blank CD's and expensive overseas postage really adds up!

Every box he sends out has 84 discs that usually go out to a platoon in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Hyman acknowledges his violations of domestic copyright laws, but he also pointed to his walls – which are full of huge American flags and dozens of appreciative letters and photos of soldiers holding up their favorite DVD's.

When Mr. Strachman first started out he copied CD's on his personal desktop which was a very tedious one-by-one process. He got his hands on a $400 professional duplicator to speed up his process.

Hy has never accepted any type of payment for the work that he has done. All he gets in return is letters and emails from soldiers thanking him for the work that he has done for them.

Apartment For Rent A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the night with her for £500.

They did their thing, and, before he left, he told her that he did not have any cash with him, but he would have his secretary write a cheque and mail it to her, calling the payment 'Rent for apartment.'

On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realising that the whole event had not been worth the price. So he had his secretary send a cheque for £250 and enclose the following typed note: 'Dear Madam: Enclosed find a cheque for £250 for rent of your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the place, I was under the impression that: 1 - it had never been occupied; 2 - there was plenty of heat; and

3 - it was small enough to make me feel cozy and at home.

However, I found out that: 1 - it had been previously occupied, 2 - there wasn't any heat, and 3 - it was entirely too large.'

Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the cheque for £250 with the following note: 'Dear sir: 1 - I cannot understand how you could expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely.

2 - As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on.

3 - Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the management.

So, Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present landlady.

& t i u Fr Facts Veg ocado Av

The humble avocado, which grows so well here in Spain, has a host of hidden health benefits Half an avocado contains 114 calories and 4.5g fibre It is a source of vitamin E and folate Avocado is a great source of monounsaturated oleic acid that research has shown to both reduce dangerous low-density lipoprotein cholesterol at the same time as increasing the more beneficial high-density lipoprotein cholesterol Avocados also contain a rich variety of heart nutrients including vitamin E for preventing cholesterol oxidization; folate for reducing dangerous homocystenine levels in the blood; potassium for regulating blood pressure; phytosterols for reducing cholesterol absorption; and dietary fibre to control blood sugar levels.

For a heart-healthy boost, replace butter with avocado on your favourite sandwich.

Equally delicious avocado oil is an even richer source of oleic acid, vitamin E and phytosterols and, along with healthy coconut oil, is a brilliant heat-stable cooking oil The monounsaturated fats in avocado are also beneficial for improving your skin tone. They are vital for maintaining good moisture levels in the epidermal layer of your skin that make it look and feel soft and healthy The omega-9 fats they contain can additionally help reduce skin redness and irritation and are involved in repairing damaged skin cells.

Avocado benefits also include protecting your skin from wrinkles and other visible signs of ageing with its antioxidant carotenoids; vitamin E which helps guard against photo-ageing from sun exposure and vitamin C which is involved in the creation of elastin and collagen for maintaining your skin’s elasticity and firmness.

For those living with diabetes, the oleic acid in avocado is especially recommended for its ability to lower ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol while raising the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol. Keeping cholesterol levels in check is vital for diabetics as they have a much higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Having more monounsaturated fats in a diabetic diet is also beneficial for reducing high triglyceride levels and may help improve insulin function and blood glucose levels.

Other health benefits of avocado that can help with the condition include vitamin C for strengthening blood vessels and capillaries, improving immune function and reducing the high premedical exposure experienced by diabetics.

The anti-inflammatory avocado is one of the few foods consistently reported to reduce arthritic pain.

And finally......did you know? Babies love avocados. Their soft, creamy texture makes them easy to eat, and their high fat content helps with normal infant growth and development.

Vélez-Málaga

Vélez-Málaga is the capital of the Axarquía and is on the scenic route of sun and avocado. It is situated just 1 kilometre inland from the coast at Torre del Mar. After the Moors conquest of Spain they founded Vélez-Málaga, naming it Ballix-Malaca (fortress of Malaga) It was one of the main cities of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada during the 13th to 14th century. As early as the 10th century 75% of the towns folk were Muslims, the rest were Christians.

Ferdinand and Isabella on attempting to defeat Moorish rule decided to capture Velez-Malaga so they could use the route through to Granada via Zafarraya, they also needed to be able to use the port at Mariyya Ballix (Torre del Mar) to bring in supplies. After their defeat of the town the Moors didn´t leave immediately as the monarchy wanted to continue the production and export of among other things the sweet Malaga wine, but they were eventually expelled in 1584.

During the 15th and 17th centuries the Catholics decided to get rid of the Islamic heritage that remained in the town and started to destroy many of the old Moorish houses, building instead huge Churches, Monasteries and Convents, to such an extent that the town soon became known as Cuidad Conventual (Convent City). Santa Maria was one of the first to be built and today it remains an interesting site with its Muslim Minaret.

Also the Convent of San Francisco which was

AS2107

built in 1488 can be found in the Plaza de San Francisco next to the indoor market. The construction was funded by the Catholic Kings.

The main square in the centre of town is the Plaza de las Carmelitas where you can find the town hall on one side and the Convent of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, also known as the Convent of Carmelitas on the other.

However, the real land mark of Velez has to be La Fortaleza, built on a hill top in the 13th century. It was an important fort in the 13th and 15th centuries for the Nazari Kingdom. It was used as a general headquarters in 1487 when the Catholic Monarchs conquered the city.

The Axarquía even has its own currency, the Axarcos, which came into effect in 1988 when Antonio Gámez Burgos, a Biochemic and teacher, native of Vélez-Málaga (1934-2007) whose passion was history, discovered under a tree in his finca an old box containing, among other historical treasures, a number of strange coins. After multiple consultations with experts, he concluded that the coins were an old currency used by the ancient moriscos during a rebellion against the christian conquerors, back in the 16th century.

He decided to recuperate this piece of Andalusian history and created the Axarcos coin, still used in many bars and restaurants today, notably La Peña just behind the town hall.

The official fiestas of the town are held on August 26th and September 27th. The feria is held mid July and the Romeria mid May. Do take time out to visit Vélez-Málaga, you won´t be disappointed!

This excerpt from The Light: A Book of Wisdom has been taken from the chapter Manifesting Miracles, by Dr Sue Morter We tend to hold miracles as something spectacular, outside of our realm of probability or as separate from ourselves. But in order to allow miracles to occur more regularly in our personal reality we must change the way we see them. Most of us believe miracles supersede the realm of probabilities and by holding this belief we are unable to welcome them into our environment as readily as we could. My invitation to the readers is to see everything as sacred and possible. To do that with integrity we must first learn to hold our consciousness differently than the way we are familiar with. In order to allow something sacred or miraculous to happen more regularly in our lives, we must allow it to be a readily accepted perspective that we can anticipate and as a new way of being.

The first premise is to remember that everything in all of creation is energy and that energy is vibrating at different frequencies, ultimately determining the physical realities that we experience. If we experience something as a physical object it is energy vibrating at a particular frequency and if we experience something as an emotion, the energy is vibrating at a different frequency. Think of it as different radio stations that we dial into.

When we think thoughts we are honing energies into a particular frequency pattern. When these thoughts are recreated day after day they produce a consistent pattern of energy within which we perceive an entire world; one that either works well or seems full of despair and pain.

Profile Full Name: Anna Mae Bullock Birthday: November 26, 1939, Nutbush, Tennessee, United States Age: 74 Parents: Zelma Priscilla (née Currie) and Floyd Richard Bullock spouse: Erwin Bach (m. 2013), Ike Turner (m.

1962–1978) Children: Ronnie Turner, Raymond Craig Turner Tina is of African, Native American and European descents. Her mother, African American herself, had Cherokee as well as Navajo ancestry.

During World War II, Tina went to stay with her strict, religious paternal grandparents, Baptists Alex and Roxanna Bullock.

sion. Stunned by her voice, Ike eventually allowed her to sing with the band throughout that night, later joining the band full-time.

She recorded her first songs in 1958 with the band under the name "Little Ann".

In 1960, Tina sang Ike’s song, "A Fool in Love," and the track was bought by Sue Records. Ike was paid a $25,000 advance for recording and publishing rights.

Ike then renamed Anna Mae Bullock "Tina", because the name rhymed with his favourite television character, Sheena.

In her autobiography, I, Tina, she revealed several instances of severe domestic abuse against her by Ike Turner prior to their 1976 split and subsequent 1978 divorce.

She once tried to commit suicide by swallowing 50 Valiums, just before a show.

In 1981, Tina appeared at The Ritz in New York City and following the performance, Rod Stewart hired her to perform a duet version of his hit, "Hot Legs", on Saturday Night Live. He later hired her to open for him on his U.S. tour. Afterwards, she opened three shows for The Rolling Stones.

In January 1988, Tina made history alongside Paul McCartney when she performed in front of the largest paying audience (approximately 184,000) to see a solo performer in Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, earning her a Guinness World Record.

Tina announced her semi-retirement in 2000, but made a comeback in 2004.

Tina’s mother ran off with another man to escape her abusive husband.

At age 73, she appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine last year -- the oldest person worldwide to do so.

Tina joined both the cheerleading squad and the female basketball team at her High School.

While at a record label party in London in 1985, Tina met German music executive Erwin Bach.

The couple married in Switzerland last year.

After her graduation, she worked as a nurse's aide and dreamed of becoming a nurse.

Tina first saw Ike Turner and his band, the Kings of Rhythm, perform in a nightclub in the mid1950s. One night, Tina was handed the microphone while the rest of the band was in intermis-

g n i z fe el a i m L A ine ric E Mar lect eE Th

The Electric eel is one of the most mysterious fish living in our oceans, capable of generating powerful electric shocks which it uses for hunting and selfdefence.

The shocks come from electric organs with about 6,000 specialised cells called electrocytes that store power like tiny batteries.

When threatened or attacking prey, these cells will discharge simultaneously, emitting a burst of at least 600 volts, five times the power of a standard US wall socket.

People have been known to drown in shallow water after a stunning jolt.

The shock of an electric eel has been known to knock a horse off its feet.

They are capable of varying the intensity of the electrical discharge, using lower discharges for "hunting" and higher intensities for stunning prey or defending themselves.

When agitated, they are capable of producing intermittent electrical shocks over a period of at least an hour without signs of fatigue.

Despite their serpentine appearance, electric eels are not actually eels. Their scientific classification is closer to carp and catfish.

They live in the murky streams and ponds of the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America, feeding mainly on fish, but also amphibians and even birds and small mammals.

As air-breathers, they must come to the surface frequently.

Their average life span in the wild is 15 years They have poor eyesight, but can emit a lowlevel charge, less than 10 volts, which they use like radar to navigate and locate prey.

Electric eels can reach huge proportions, exceeding 8 feet (2.5 metres) in length and 44 pounds (20 kilograms) in weight. They have long, cylindrical bodies and flattened heads and are generally dark green or greyish on top with yellowish colouring underneath.

Human deaths from electric eels are extremely rare. However, multiple shocks can cause respiratory or heart failure.

s e p o c s Horo

by Juanita Banana of www.AbsoluteAxarquia.com ARIES: March 21-April 20 Treasure time available to spend with family and children this month and show them how important and special they are to you. Assess your goals, daily and long term, and accept recognition, praise and acknowledgement with grace.

TAURUS: April 21-May 21 It would be prudent to catch up with people who are distant from you, especially concerning legal and financial matters and projects relating to future endeavours. You may be weaving a new spiritual sensibility and value into what´s to come.

GEMINI: May 22-June 21 Accept what you have in this moment and the future will fall into place. Geminiis should pay importance to finances, particularly debt, this month. Safeguard plans you have with a partner or close friend.

CANCER: June 22-July 22 Emotional stability and balance can be found through talking about what´s troubling you and the advice and care proffered by others. In the work environment make sure you are comfortable with what´s being asked.

LEO: July 23-August 23 Your work colleagues are, more than usually, dependent on you during March and you will need to make decisions in their, and your own, best interests. You may feel a strong affinity with an animal or animals.

VIRGO: August 24-September 22 Step outside of your personal concerns to offer sustenance and support to those around you who are in current dire need of having wounds eased. Your own problems will con-

sequently evaporate.

LIBRA: September 23 - October 22 Visualise completion of everything that remains undone, unfinished, needs tending, is on hold or awaits your attention. They will become manifest as if by magic, with surprisingly little effort.

SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21 A great time for Scorpio to commit to projects and people with pride and to share your beliefs, ideas, ideals and values. Make opportunities to take a short trip on business or holiday for pleasure.

SAGITTARIUS: November 22 - December 21 Ambition assails you, refining and determining your values and making you a force to be reckoned with. Treat your loved ones and special friends to some simple gifts that will be treasured and appreciated far into the future.

CAPRICORN: December 22 - January 20 As longer daylight hours return, and the sun shines over you, its time for Capricorns to commence that long-awaited health regime internally and externally. Beware of old conflicts arising.

AQUARIUS: January 21 - February 19 Possibly a confusing, foggy period for Aquarians this month. Seek grounding where you can and indulge in creative, artistic activities and dance!

PISCES: February 20 - March 20 Peace and solitude, with no worldly distractions, are recommended as the best way for Pisceans to tackle problems and projects during March. Be conscious of time flowing past as a river but don´t jump in.

The Axarquia therapists support group holds its next meeting on 26th March at the El Pantano bar starting at 7.30pm. This month we are fortunate to have Janet Van Dam giving a talk on Thermography. Thermography is a test of physiology, or in other words, how the body functions. This is done by using an infrared camera to detect minute temperature variations related to blood flow, it shows us any abnormal patterns which might indicate an underlying dysfunction of an organ or tissue! Thermography offers a valuable first time, non invasive breast screening to identify early stages of breast disease, it is especially useful for women who seek an alternative to regular breast screening like mammography or ultrasound. So, why not come along.. its something a lot of women maybe do not know about ..

Janet will offer a discount if there are enough women who maybe interested in having the screening. Please note change of venue! we will for the foreseeable future be holding our meetings at El Pantano Bar I look forward to seeing you there. If you need any more info you can email me on janetvassie@yahoo.co.uk

) : a h a Jokes h One day a man decided to retire...

He booked a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, until the ship sank.

He found himself on an island, alone, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.

After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore.

In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"

She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank."

"Amazing," he notes. "You were lucky to have a row boat wash up with you."

"Oh, this?" explains the woman. "I made the boat out of raw material I found on the island.

The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree."

"But, where did you get the tools?"

"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman.

"On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted intoductile iron I used to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware."

The guy is stunned.

"Let's row over to my place," she says.

So, after a short row, she docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house.

While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Sit down, please."

"Would you like a drink?"

"No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice."

"It's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?"

Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch

to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable.

Would you like to take a shower and shave?

There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs.."

No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs to the bathroom. In the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened to its end inside a swivel mechanism.

"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?"

When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias.

She beckons for him to sit down next to her.

"Tell me," she begins suggestively, moving closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely.

When was the last time you played around?

She stares into his eyes ...

He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes, "You've built a golf course?"

------------------------------------------------------------A 72-year-old man goes for a physical. All of his tests come back normal so the doctor says, "Harry, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?" Harry replies, "God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, poof!, the light goes on. When I'm done, poof!, the light goes off."

"Wow, that's incredible," the doctor says.

A little later in the day, the doctor calls Harry's wife. "Mrs White," he says, "Harry is doing fine but I had to call you because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he's done, poof! the light goes off?"

"OH GOOD GRIEF!" Mrs White exclaims, "He's pissing in the fridge again!"

Jokes h a ha :) Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says, 'We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!'

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place.? It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, 'Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!'

The next day, the second woman accidentally steps on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. Very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin?

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The happy woman says, 'I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?'

The guy says, 'I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!'?

------------------------------------------------------------Guy goes in an adult store and asks for an inflatable doll.

Guy behind the counter says, 'Male or female?'

Customer says, 'Female.'

Counter guy asks, 'Black or white?

Customer says, 'White.'

Counter guy asks, 'Christian or Muslim?'

Customer says, 'What the hell does religion have to do with it?'

Counter guy says, 'The Muslim one blows itself up.'

A German guy approaches a lady of the night.

'I vish to buy sex viz you.'

'OK,' says the girl, 'I'll charge ÂŁ20 an hour.' '..ist goot, but I must varn you, I am a little kinky.'

'No problem,' she replies cautiously, 'I can do little kinky.'

So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck caller.

'I vant zat you tie ze springs to each of your hans und knees.'

The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs as he had said, to her hands and knees.

'Now you vill get on your hans und knees.'

She duly does this, balancing precariously on the springs.

'You vill please to blow zis kwacker as I make love to you.'

She finds it odd, but figures it's harmless (and the guy is paying.)

She finds the sex is fantastic, as she is bounced all over the room by the energetic German, all the time honking on the duck caller.

The climax is the most sensational that she has ever experienced and it is several minutes before she has enough breath to say, 'That was totally amazing, what do you call that position?'

'Ah,' says the German . . 'zat is ze.... Foursprung Duck technique'
