island scene ICorpus Christi La OrOTava anD La Laguna, JunE 18

Many towns decorate their streets and plazas with flower and sand carpets to celebrate Corpus Christi. Most notable of these are La Laguna and La Orotava where the giant 950 square metre carpet is of a different (usually religious) design every year and takes several weeks to prepare. During its manufacture and when it is complete on June 18th it will be contemplated by thousands of visitors. Adding to the magical atmosphere are the surrounding streets which are carpeted with sand and flower petals giving off a wonderful aroma. Finally, a religious procession at 6pm that evening destroys all of them.

Romería of San Antonio de PaduagranaDiLLa, JunE 13

People come from all the surrounding villages, in traditional dress, on board decora-ted wagons to attend this traditional pilgrimage in honour of the saint. There will be religious acts and processions, and later on folk singing, dancing, and merrymaking with food and drink flowing from the wagons. There will also be folklore and art festivals, sporting competitions and a craft fair. If you are in the south of the island, this is a fiesta not to be missed!

The night of San JuanJunE 24

The arrival of the summer solstice is welcomed on 24th June, the night of San Juan, with bonfires not only on the coasts but in villages as well. On many beaches the party around the bonfire continues into the early hours. The night of San Juan is celebrated in San Juan de la Rambla, Granadilla, La Victoria, Los Silos, Tacoronte, Icod de los Vinos (San Marcos), Las Teresitas, Puerto de la Cruz, Punta del Hidalgo, Playa San Juan and many more.

Bioplate rF:radiofrequency device with vibrating plateReduce cellulitis, beauty flaws, actively harden and strengthen your own muscles, drain the excessive or immobilised liquids, reactivate your blood circulation without any physical effort or fatigue with only ten minutes per session: A dream?... No, simply vibrating with radiofre-quency!!

Today it’s possible to recuperate our own phy-sical shape in a very good way using the new Bioplate RF machine that has been invented, improved and patented by Bios S.r.l.: a vibrating plate associated with radiofrequency that works locally! Here you are at aesthetics’ new frontier of modern methods. The vibrating plate has been studied and methodologically set up by Carmelo Bosco, one of the most skilled and expert scien-tists in research. Working with NASA, he has used such devices on astronauts upon their return from space missions. The vibrating plate has been proven to help astronauts get quickly back in shape, recovering the muscular tone and bone density lost while in space. It is also largely used by the Russian Space Agency, NBA stars, skiing and boxing teams just to name a few. Recently, the benefits of the vibrating plate have been valued in the aesthetic field with the aim of reducing typical beauty flaws that strike people leading a sedentary life or who don’t have time to exercise.

From the first session with the vibrating plate you can face and reduce cellulitis and its collateral effects and maintain muscular tonicity… it only takes ten minutes per session, equivalent to one hour in the gym, without sweat or pain due to lactic acid formation and without ‘dangerous’ articulation movements.

feng shui

Design a gardeni assume anyone who owns a plot of land has thought more than once about garden design. So why not take a look at Chinese gardens and apply some ancient rules from asia to bring in more harmony?

The term ‘Feng Shui garden’ is actually not quite correct, but it is often used for Chinese gardens. The rules of Feng Shui are actually related more to artificial environments like houses. However, there are some Feng Shui rules related to the sur-roundings of a house and in many cases, houses are connected with gardens. Basically a Chinese garden is no vegetable garden. Anyone who likes to cultivate fruit and vegetables should create a separate area for this purpose.

A real Feng Shui garden serves for relaxation and should offer us a place where we can recharge our batteries. There are two possible ways to achieve this: we can create a garden so that it looks like a picture and offers a nice view from a terrace or a window, or we make a ‘moving’ gar-den with a path to walk through so we can disco-ver new things on the way. The first variation is better suited to small gardens, while the moving garden needs a bit more space.

The basic rulesA garden lives through its plants, but also depen-ds on its decoration. According to the Chinese five elements, plants belong to the wood element and are fed by the water element. Therefore,

water is a must in a Feng Shui garden. This can be a small well or a pond - up to a small stream. Use your imagination to create your personal water feature. What and where to put plants is the essential factor during garden planning. A rule that my Feng Shui master taught me is: ‘Trees never grow small!’. If the garden is connected to a building, this rule is of great importance. If trees grow too near to a house, they might influence the energy of the building in quite a negative way. The roots of a tree have more or less the same size as its stems, branches and its crown. Thus if a tree is too close to a house, the roots can grow under the foundation and damage it. A big tree may block the light - I have seen many cases where branches had to be cut away from windows again and again. Therefore, a certain distance should be kept between tree and house, while shrubs and smaller plants are a better choice near a building.

Another basic rule refers to perfect proportions. Choose a harmonious grade between big and small plants to make small gardens look bigger. Therefore, small, medium and large plants should be laid out in a way that they can overlook each other.

The seasonsPlants change throughout the year. Flowers blossom and wilt, tree leaves change their colour. Choose plants so that your garden looks beau-tiful in every season. A garden can look quite sad, especially in late autumn and winter if it has only broad-leaved trees, so try to plant some evergreen trees and bushes as well to create a nice all-year mix of colours. Flowers blossom at different times. If they are carefully selected you can always enjoy some colour in your garden and thus strengthen its vital impression.

artificial objects Objects like statues, benches, rocks etc. can be used to make a garden more interesting, parti-cularly if they are not completely visible. If you want to have paths, make sure they are not too straight. Choose smooth curves instead! This gi-ves the impression of a bigger space, especially if you cannot see where the path is leading. Even in a small garden a path ending behind a bush can create the illusion that there is more to explore.

The sun and the windIn your garden you should be aware of the sun and the wind. Find south facing places for putting a bench or other things to sit on. These areas should always be protected from the wind. A chilly breeze can spoil the enjoyment of the nicest loo-king garden, while a sheltered sunny spot also has its charm in lower temperatures.

Some general thingsn Even though a Feng Shui garden is

drawn up artificially, it should always look natural.

n If your garden has different levels, they should be incorporated in a natural way.

n Water always flows downhill, thus a pond is appropriate at the lowest point of the garden.

n The garden shouldn’t look ostentatious.n Small gardens should accommodate

smaller plants, so that the proportions remain consistent.

chrissie hynde

Brass in pocketFrom yellow Pages manager to rock Chick supreme, Chrissie hynde is the living em-bodiment of what it takes to survive in the tough and mostly male non-pop world of music.

Born and raised in Ohio, Hynde was always more interested in the world of music than any other, and from 1973 to 1978, living both in London and France, sang with a variety of bands, but didn‘t make the big time. During the same time she wrote for NME, worked in Vivienne Westwood‘s SEX clothing shop and waitressed, but all she really wanted was to be on stage with a band.In 1978 a producer Dave Hill heard a demo tape and encouraged her to take her time to form her own group. She met up with Peter Farndon and the pair got together with James Honeyman-Scott and The Pretenders was formed, with their first single, Stop Your Sobbing/The Wait released in 1979, making the top thirty in the UK. Their first album Pretenders, released later that year, went to Nº one. While the band line up would change over the years, Hynde remained in front, a rarity in the world of male band leaders, earning respect among peers and fans, and becoming something of a punk and rock icon in the 80s and 90s. She has just released a new album, Boots of Chinese Plastic, which is being promoted during the tour that sees Hynde and the band perform in the Santa Cruz Auditorio in Tenerife on July 6th, one of seven Spanish gigs this summer.

Summer dining at La Estancia

Since its opening in 1988, La Estancia has become known as one of the finest res-taurants in Tenerife for its oriental flair, exquisite cuisine and impeccable service. Famous music, Tv and film stars have dined at La Estancia, where the chef and his team ensure that every meal is a culinary adven-ture.

Despite its excellence, La Estancia is not as ex-pensive as you may believe, and a special evening meal or lunch should not cause havoc in your bank account. Even more so with the introduc-tion this month of the new summer menu which is full of flavours and textures and which, after 20 years’ experience and culinary investigation by the chef, is the image now being promoted by La Estancia. The fantastic bond with Albert Adriá of the famous Costa Brava restaurant El Bulli, which was chosen four years running by The Restaurant Magazine as the best restaurant in the world, has allowed chef Thierry Goubert to discover new techniques using quality products and spices from all over the world in this new menu. With a capacity for over 200 diners, the restaurant is continually evolving and with 100 per cent creative chefs, there are no limits to what they can produce for your lunches, dinners, weddings, communions, company dinners and professional events.The new three course lunchtime menu which is completely fresh, light and healthy for the summer with plenty of salads, is available for only 20 euros per person and is aimed mainly at

La Estancia is the perfect venue to entertain your clients or just have a working lunch, inside the tastefully decorated restaurant, or outside on the airy terrace with its Arabic atmosphere.La Estancia has wines from the best areas of Spain, the Canary Islands, France, Argentina and New Zealand to accompany your choice from the interesting, innovative and creative menu. The huge wine menu lists more than 65 wines including Burgundy, Bordeaux, Ribera del Duero

and Rioja to name but a few. If you are not a connoisseur, the Wine Parker System, which describes each wine perfectly, will help you to make a choice which is bound to impress your partner, and at the right price too. At La Estancia, you will always find the best wines, but not always the most expensive, those you will never see in the supermarket. To help you increase your knowledge of good wines, La Estancia will also be offering wine tastings during the summer.The restaurant also hosts a permanent exhibition of paintings by artists from Spain, the Canary Islands, Belgium, Venezuela, France and Sweden. The paintings are always available for purchase, just ask.Located in the elegant residential area of Las Águilas del Teide, Chayofa, La Estancia with its unique atmosphere for lunches or dinners, is popular with local people and discerning tourists alike who return time and time again to enjoy a true gastronomic treat. It is no wonder that La Estancia has been named the best foreign restau-rant in the Canaries. Open for lunch 1pm to 4pm Monday to Saturday and every evening from 7pm to 11pm, reservations are recommended on 922 729 359.

Why do we still purchase in the Canary Islands?

Property adviser John Bokobsa from Soviten gestion SL answers this question:

When we talk about the Canary Islands, we always think about the sun. We all agree that the Canaries are the Florida of Europe, and Tenerife, the largest island, is only four or five hours flight time away from anywhere in Europe. Since the seventies, Europeans have purchased property for their retirement so that they can spend the rest of their lives in a sunny place like Tenerife. Today is still the same, German and English people continue to search for properties, but with the economic crisis, they visit several potential deve-

lopments before they make their final decision, and I think that this is a good attitude in order to make the right decision.It is not only for this reason that people still want to buy property in the Canary Islands, but also because the construction quality is much better than it was before. There are lots of properties to choose from in several areas, for instance Fanabé, El Galeón (Adeje), Chayofa, Golf Costa Adeje or Golf Las Americas where the design and the quality of the new developments are much more attractive than they were years ago.I think it is also important to talk about purchasers’ attitudes during this financial crisis.

property I

40 JUne 2009

I property

I realised during the last three months that potential buyers want to purchase a quality or a luxury property with two objectives in mind, the first is to get a good deal and the second is to protect their own investment. The banks today don’t give a good return on their money (around 2.5 per cent or less in England, for example), so purchasers want to invest in property again because they all know that within the next five years its value will have increased substantially.For all these reasons I think that the Canarian mar-ket is still attractive for Europeans who are looking to purchase property. I have to add also that if we compare mainland Spain with Tenerife, the stock still available for sale is completely different. In mainland Spain there are more than 800,000 unsold properties, while in Tenerife if we consider luxury homes, we have only 200 properties available. So that’s why it is important for future purchasers to understand that this is the time to buy because the south of Tenerife doesn’t have so many new developments under construction and the properties available for sale will be sold during the next six months. If potential buyers wait too long before they make a move, in the case of purchasing a property under construction, they will have to wait around two years before they can move in to their new home. So it is true that people in general still want to invest in the Canary Islands, it is also true that nobody can take the sun away from this part of Europe.

For British couples who married in the united Kingdom, the law of divorce applied by the Spanish Courts will in most instances be the relevant British laws. in most cases, this means that the Judge will have ultimate discretion to award what he or she believes is fair in all the circumstances. However, which rules apply where one party is not British, or where the marriage took place in Spain?

There are three marital regimes available in Spain:1. Community Property (regimen de gananciales) is the most common matrimonial property regime in Spain. If no pre-nuptial agreement is signed, the spouses are automatically married under this regime. All property and rights acquired by a husband and wife during marriage are jointly owned, whilst any prior assets brought into the marriage are retained by their original owner.

2. Separate Property Marital Regime (Régimen de Separación de Bienes) is where each spouse shares in their entire joint assets, regardless of when they were accumulated. Both spouses will also jointly share the costs to support the family in proportion to their respective income.In Tenerife, this regime applies only where spouses have expressly requested it.

3. The profit sharing marital regime (Régimen de participación de bienes) allows each spouse the entitlement to participate or share in the profits obtained by the other spouse during the continu-ation of the profit sharing regime. This scheme needs to be agreed upon in the articles of mar-riage, or before or during marriage. Each spouse is entitled to manage, enjoy and freely dispose of their own assets as well as those acquired during the marriage.

Why leave your financial circumstances to chance?

And neither can you, except that it doesn‘t have to be edge-trimmed, spiked, top-dressed, weeded, ferti-lised or mowed.

Around the world on a cruise shipby gerald ruben

at 0200, ships’ clocks were retarded one hour to gMT minus 10, and with all pre-arrival checks complete, the first line was sent ashore at 0737. at 0830 clearance was received from the local authorities allowing passengers to proceed ashore.

Honolulu is forged from volcanoes and home to mysterious Polynesian gods. It is also modern with soaring structures and the hustle and bustle of city life. It is part of a 1,600 mile long chain of islands which forms the Hawaiian archipelago and was born between 25 and 40 million years ago. At around 500 AD and after journeying across several thousand miles of open ocean in flimsy double hulled canoes complete with pigs, chickens and dogs, the first Polynesian settlers arrived . They founded several small kingdoms, and then proceeded to spend most of their time at war with each other. However it was in 1959 that President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed Hawaii the 50th state.There are no extremes of temperature and with the cool trade winds being constant, even the sunniest days are comfortable. Two Hawaiian words you probably know already are Hula and Lei. Hula is their famous dance and Leis are the

garlands of flowers which they welcome you with as soon as you step off the ship. When we arrived we took the all embracing tour as there was just so much to see and enjoy. Taxis are wi-dely available, but it is advisable to agree a price before setting off.Waikiki Beach is one of the most famous beaches in the world, ideal for surf boarding owing to an underwater ledge which extends a mile out from the shore. Expert riders often travel at about 40 miles an hour. Places to visit include the Iolani Palace which was the Royal Palace of King Kalakaua and his sister Queen Liliuo. It was built in 1882 in Victorian-Florentine style. The Bishop Museum and Planetarium is a memorialto the Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. It contains

hands-on exhibits of Hawaiian life. Foster Botanical Gardens are famed for their collection of orchids plus a whole host of other tropical plants and flowers. The Polynesian Cultural Centre operated by the Mormons is certainly worth a visit. It opens at 1.30pm and there is a fantastic canoe show with dancers and rowers which starts at 2.30 pm. Closed on Sundays. Further afield, seven miles from your ship is Pearl Harbour. As this is now a war grave, flip flops and swimwear are not allowed. Leave plenty of time to visit as queues are not unu-sual. Opens at 7.30am and closes at 5pm. Eating here is not a problem as there are so many high quality eateries - in fact you are spoilt for choice. However, a few worth considering are Chart House, La Salle, Michels, Chals Island Bistro and Fisherman’s Wharf. The official currency is the US Dollar. Banking hours are 8.30am to 4pm Monday to Thursday and to 6pm on Friday. Time to return to Aurora as we will be departing at 1800 and heading towards Pago Pago.

Golf Pro Tip of the MonthThe pro tip of the month is about grip pressure. Most of the players I know, from scratch golfer to weekend golfer, struggle to grip the club with soft even pressure throughout their swings. As a result the club face can’t rotate freely at impact with the subsequent loss of power and slice. Here I am over the ball where your arms and hands should feel relaxed.

golf II have now reached the top of the back swing, where my club glided there thanks to a soft, even grip pressure. Try to imagine that the club feels like a tube of toothpaste with no cap on.

Here we go! The transition, the most critical moment of the golf swing. Most golfers would now re-grip their clubs with tons of pressure, with fatal results in the trajectories of their shots. We should continue to maintain light and even grip pressure. An even grip pressure is the secret for power and balance. Let’s have a look at what happens when we achieve this.

Just perfect! The back of my left hand is facing the target. My hands are remaining passive through the impact which will deliver the inten-ded trajectory and power. That’s because I was able to keep the toothpaste in the tube! Had my grip pressure increased coming down to the ball, this would have never been possible and I could not square up the club face to the target. Let’s have a look at what happens with the wrong grip pressure and position.

Oooooooopsss! May Day! May Day! Golf ball flying far right! And short distance! The tooth-paste is being spread all over the deck. If I grip-ped my knife and fork this hard I would starve to death! Remember, Grip it softly throughout your swing with an even grip pressure. Hit it high and watch it fly - there are no bunkers in the sky!

The New Big Bertha Diablo Driver 100% titanium for explosive power and distance with a wicked new attitude.

The results surprised even us. A golf ball this soft, and with this much feel, shouldn’t be able to go this far. The new High-Resiliency core is not only soft, but also fast, which means you’ll never sacrifice distance for soft feel. Plus, this golf ball’s unique low spin properties mean that players who impart too much spin off the driver will see more distance and less severe hooks and slices. The

Big Bertha Diablo Golf Ball offers lower driver spin and softer feel than most golf balls on the market for superior accuracy off the tee and better feel on every shot.

Airmail your playing partners. That’s your first thought on the tee box. And the all-titanium Big Bertha Diablo Driver will help you do it, bringing wicked power and distance to go along with the generous sweet spot. Our new Edge Technology provides a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) and an optimised centre of gravity (CG) location for Draw or Neutral models, so you get long, penetrating ball flight with the shot shape you desire. Hyperbolic Face Technology in a titanium face cup increases ball speed across the entire face for more distance, even on miss-hits. Edge Technology also helps golfers square the clubface at impact, especially when swinging aggressively. The Big Bertha Diablo Driver performs like no other all-titanium driver we’ve ever created. After all, long is good, but longer is better. So go ahead, knock the hell out of it.

hyperbolic Face TechnologyHyperbolic shaping is the cutting edge of driver face design. Mathematics and engineering combine to create Callaway’s highest ever ball speeds across the entire face.

Edge TechnologyThe unique shaping of the all-titanium clubheads allowed the engineers to move weight in specific locations to achieve the optimal CG location and ball flights for the Draw or Neutral options with a higher MOI. It also helps close the clubface at impact so golfers can better release the club with power.

Draw and neutral head ShapesProvides golfers with the opportunity to select a driver that will most benefit their swing type and promote their desired shot shape.
