July
By Ted Bruning
Americans – aren’t they a
mad bunch, though? They
come across like hysterical
babies, screaming
uncontrollably if they don’t
get exactly what they want
exactly when they want it,
and threatening all kinds of
horrible vengeance on
anyone who might deny or
even delay their instant
gratification. Unfortunately,
though, you can’t just
ignore them as you might
a real baby, because
they’re big, powerful, and
extremely heavily armed.
Of course, they can’t really be the way
they’re portrayed in our media, because if
they were they’d all have killed each other
by now. And anyway, I’ve met quite a few
Americans and some of them are almost
civilised. But that would be far too boring to
show on TV or in newspapers. So,
hysterical babies it is, then.
One thing babies can do is eat. And like
babies, Americans are world-class eaters.
They eat 28% of the food the world
produces even though they only make up
5% of the world’s population. So let’s help
them celebrate Independence Day on 4th
July by eating American.
July is pretty hot in the USA so
Independence Day tends to be an outdoor
event. The USA is challenged for the title of
World’s Top Barbecue Nation only by South
Africa and Australia, with which it shares
reliable summer weather, high per capita
income, and a gargantuan appetite for
protein.
So, this 4th July take the wire brush to the
barbecue, fire up the charcoal (or gas), and
throw on a steak. Or sausages. Or ribs. Or
burgers. Or a piece of chicken which you
can microwave first if you’re nervous. But
before you cook it, make it truly American
by slathering it with the following simple
barbecue sauce.
Fry finely chopped onions
on a medium heat until
golden brown. Add minced
garlic and chopped and
seeded chillis (optional)
and fry for another minute.
Add tomato puree,
Worcester sauce, vinegar,
salt and pepper, and either
some jam or jelly
(redcurrant or apricot) or, if
you’re not using chillis,
some sweet chilli sauce.
Fry on a medium heat for
another 10 minutes and
you’ll end up with a sauce
that’s full of complex
flavours – sweet, sour, hot
and deep. Use some of
the sauce as a marinade
and some for pouring over,
but keep them separate to avoid crosscontamination.
The crowning glory of your American
barbecue is gumbo. The heart of gumbo is
a roux made deep and dark by long
cooking, so in a heavy-bottomed saucepan
heat some oil, then add an equal quantity of
sifted flour (you don’t want lumps) and stir
for 10-15 minutes or until it darkens. Add
chopped onion, green pepper, celery,
minced garlic and thick slices of smoked
sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, season, and
add file powder (dried sassafras leaves) if
you can find it, dried sage if you can’t. Add
bay leaves and a litre of chicken stock,
bring to the boil, then turn it down and
simmer for approximately 30 minutes. Add a
skinned, boned, and shredded roast
chicken (cooked the day before) and king
prawns (optional) and simmer slowly for
another hour, topping up with stock if
necessary (a gumbo is a soup, not a stew,
so it needs to be liquid). Serve with brown
rice.
And to drink? Californian wine, of course,
but also a genuine imported American beer.
Not Budweiser or Coors because they are
now brewed in Britain: Sierra Nevada Pale
Ale is, I think, the most widely available
import – and it’s delicious!

The Handy Household
Aluminium Foil
Aluminium foil is commonly referred to as tin foil because the
original product manufactured back in the early twentieth
century was actually made of tin, but all the ‘tin foil’ you buy these days is now aluminium. A
staple of the kitchen for over 100 years then, but it has many other uses around the home.
Soften brown sugar by wrapping it in foil and putting it in a medium oven for around 5
minutes.
Your dog or cat will dislike the feeling and sound of foil, so lay a sheet over your chairs and
sofas and within a few days they’ll learn not to jump up. Likewise cover table and chair legs
and this will put them off using the legs as a scratching post.
Increase the effectiveness of your ironing board by laying a sheet under the cover. The foil
will reflect the heat back meaning you can iron on a lower setting. The same principle applies
if you put foil behind your room radiators.
If you have a tray of ice cubes in the freezer, cover it with foil and this will ensure the ice
stays clean and doesn’t pick up odours from other food.
If you are having your carpet cleaned you may not be able to move the larger furniture out of
the room. Squares of foil under the legs will protect the furniture and won’t stain the damp
carpet.

MOTORING
Model: Peugeot 208
Price: From £9,995
Peugeot 208
Engine: 1.2 Litre, 3cyl
Power: 88bhp, 118Nm
Max speed: 108mph
0-60mph: 11.1
MPG: 62.7
Emissions: 104g/km
Residual values
(three years): TBC, but
expect them on a par with VW
Polo
In the glory days, Peugeot
shifted 7.7 million 206s and
the iconic 205 before that
found 5.2 million homes.
The lacklustre 207 however
never caught buyers’ imaginations - flopping with just
2.3 million shifted during its
lifecycle.
Now the French firm is hoping the all new 208 can bring
back the glory days and
sales success to its dealers
once again.
However, things are a lot
tougher these days. Back in
2001, there were just 16
rivals in the B segment in
which the 200 series models
compete. Fast forward ten
years and now there are 27
direct rivals vying for car
buyers’ cash.
But Peugeot hopes its new
challenger can tackle the
market leading Ford Fiesta
head on. Aimed squarely at
the sector sales leaders, the
French firm hopes cute
looks, competitive pricing
and higher spec than rivals
will be enough to tempt
buyers to turn French.
Sales of the 208 will ultimately make up a third of
Peugeot dealers’ volume
too, and in 2013 the firm
hopes to shift 45,000 units,
so there’s some serious
weight on this little hatch’s
shoulders.
But is it any good? Well, yes
and no. Firstly there’s an
impressive choice of engines. There are five petrol
units and five diesels to
choose from and with sales
expected to be split 50/50
between the fuel types that
comes as little surprise.
We tried the petrol 1.6-litre
155bhp, diesel 1.6-litre HDI
with 115bhp, and the 1.2litre three cylinder petrol.
The diesel was excellent,
but our pick has to be the
characterful 1.2-litre with
82bhp and 118Nm of torque.
It’s both great fun to drive
yet economical too, returning 62.7mpg on the combined cycle and emitting just
104g/km.
On the road it’s really rather
good. Dynamically it’s composed and even in the
lesser powered models it’s
good fun to chuck around
bends. The ride quality is
impressive, but we did find
the steering very light in
town.
The driving position is also
strange with a tiny steering
wheel that’s hard to position
without obscuring the
clocks. Overall, though, it
drives like a little French
hatch back should do - and
we mean that in a positive
way!
The sales clincher is really
on the spec sheets. Peugeot
has aimed for all trim levels
to be just that little bit better
than Fiesta - and in this
market that’s vital.
The most popular trim, taking 40 per cent of sales, will
be the Active. As standard
on this model you have that
all important air con, a
touchscreen display, 15-inch
alloys, cruise control, Bluetooth with audio streaming
and USB. There are plenty
of options too, notably sat
nav, which unfortunately is a
little fiddly to use.
Overall, we can’t help but
like the 208 and it’s clear
there’s a very good car in
there waiting to escape
(that’ll be the GTI). However, the design is a little
fussy inside and out and the
Ford Fiesta is a well established and popular rival.
Priced from £9,995, the new
208 goes head to head with
key rivals from Ford and
Vauxhall. However, it remains to be seen whether its
funky new looks and tech
advances will be enough to
bring the glory days back to
Peugeot once again.

Making the most
of a staycation
scrabbling
around at the
back of the
cupboard at the
last minute.
Although you might imagine that the main
reason people stay in the UK for the
summer is lack of money, it’s not always
the case. Not everyone likes the hassle of
travelling, particularly those who are elderly
and not up to facing the scrum of airports
and ferry terminals. And if you are a parent
of young children the journey is enough to
put you off going away at all.
Other essentials
include sun
lotion, tissues/
kitchen towel, a
rubbish bag and
hand wipes –
baby wipes
make excellent
all-purpose
cleaning cloths.
Some first aid materials won’t go amiss
either, particularly plasters and sting relief
cream. We all know that the forecast isn’t
always right, so put a few jumpers in a bag
too.
We do have a beautiful country with some
fascinating history and lots going on. But
people travel overseas simply because we
can’t rely on our weather. Chances are
though, if you take a two week break at
home - either in your own home or in a
holiday rental property - there will be some
days that are lovely and can be made every
bit as enjoyable as being abroad. The trick
is preparing as much as possible
beforehand, so when the forecast says the
next day will be warm you’ll be ready to
leave early and beat the crowds.
Firstly you need to think about the
‘equipment’ you’ll need. If you are planning
a picnic lunch gather up the essentials and
have them packed up ready to go. Picnic
blankets are the lightest and smallest to
carry but older members of the family might
need a fold up chair. Games add to the fun
so include a football, a Frisbee or buckets
and spades. Younger children can have a
small rucksack containing drawing
materials.
The food of course is a highlight of a day
out and unless you are planning a pub
lunch you should buy and prepare as much
as you can well in advance. Biscuits, crisps
and drinks and the obligatory tea bags,
sugar, cups and a teaspoon should be
packed in readiness. Make sure plastic
containers have their lids with them and
flasks their stoppers, and you won’t be
Next, you need to decide where to go.
Brainstorm ideas with your family: trips that
only take a half day; beach or river
destinations for the warmest days; places
that have indoor entertainment nearby if the
weather turns or you decide to make a
longer day. Include locations to go to when
you have more of a budget e.g. theme
parks, and also those that are free if you
are trying to suit everybody without
spending a fortune. If you have children, the
website www.letsgowiththechildren.co.uk is
an excellent source of ideas and
www.resort-guide.co.uk is also a good site
to visit. When the sun arrives, you’ll be able
to quickly select an ideal spot from your list.
The night before you go, top up the car with
fuel, print out directions or set up the
satnav, prepare any fresh food, withdraw
some cash and put phones and cameras on
charge. Most importantly, agree a leaving
time for the next morning with the family. If
you say 8 o’clock you have a chance of
being on your way by 8:30; if you don’t say
a time at all everybody will be working to
their own plan and you will have wasted
precious sunny hours.

Holiday Technology
29
TECH
SPEC
The best holiday tech from books on the beach to bat-
Technology and
holidays go together
like sun, sea and
sangria, and you don’t
need to spend a fortune
to benefit. For example,
noise-cancelling
headphones can
remove unwanted noise
such as the hum of
aircraft
engines or
the drone of
bus wheels,
and you can
pick up a
decent pair
for as little as £20.
If you’d like to listen to
the radio on your travels
the Roberts Sports 925
(£16) has FM, MW and
LW reception in a
handy travel-sized
case. If you want UK
digital radio too,
Roberts also makes the
Sports DAB/FM radio,
which receives both
analogue and digital
broadcasts for around
£65.
Many of us have MP3
players or phones with
built-in music players,
and there’s a dizzying
range of travel speakers
to choose from. At
£14.99 the X-Mi X Mini
II offers a surprising
amount of volume for
very little money, while
Gear4’s StreetParty
Compact iPod and
iPhone dock is a battery
-powered speaker set
that can also charge
your iPhone or iPod
when it’s plugged into
the mains.
Some of the most
useful travel gadgets
are among the least
high-tech: the Bite
Relief Click (£5.99)
promises to reduce the
discomfort of insect
bites by using a piezoelectric pulse to
reduce itching,
delivering instant relief
in 5-10 ten clicks. In
tests, Which?
magazine found that
such devices really do
“provide a significant
degree of relief”.
Another low-tech
gadget is the
Quik Pod
(£23.99), a
telescopic arm
for your camera
that enables you to take
self-portraits in front of
landmarks without
having to find
somebody to take the
picture for you. There’s
even a little mirror so
you can make sure
you’re not going to end
up with a photo of your
torso.
Don’t forget a toolkit,
either: Victorinox’s
Swisscard Lite mini tool
kit is effectively a Swiss
Army knife flattened to
the size of a credit card,
and it includes a knife,
scissors, an LED light, a
screwdriver, magnifying
lens, tweezers, pen and
ruler. Just don’t take it
in your hand luggage if
you’re travelling by
plane.
2012’s most popular
travel gadget is the
ebook reader, which is
freeing up space in
thousands of people’s
suitcases. While
devices such as Apple’s
new iPad (£399) make
great ebook readers for
planes and trains,
they’re useless in direct
sunlight: if you want to
read on the beach, an
ebook reader with an e-
[email protected]
ink screen is a much
better option.
Amazon’s
Kindle is the
market leader
at £89 for the
basic Kindle
and £109 for
the Kindle
Touch, but the
Kobo eReader Touch
Edition (£79.99) and
Sony Reader Wi-Fi
(£129) are very good
alternatives.
The one thing most
travel gadgets have in
common is that they
need some sort of
power, but you don’t
need to carry a charger
for every single bit of
kit: you can buy USB
chargers for around
£1.99 that plug into your
hire car’s cigarette
lighter and that can
charge gadgets such as
ebook readers, sat-navs
and mobile phones,
while multi-device
chargers such as the
Skross World Travel
Adapter 2 (£17.99) offer
USB device charging
via a standard wall
socket.
If you think
you’ll be
spending
most of your
time away
from home
comforts, you
can even
charge your devices
with solar power: the
PowerTraveller Explorer
Solar Power Charger
(around £47) is
compatible with most
mobile phones, MP3
players, Bluetooth
headsets and many
other digital devices.

Inventions - Paper
This month’s invention is literally right in
front of us – paper.
The credit for its invention goes to that
amazing country China. Some 2000
years ago, Cai Lun, an Imperial Court
official, created a sheet of paper suitable
for writing by mashing, pressing and
drying mulberry and other bast fibres
mixed with old rags, fishnets and hemp
waste. However, even earlier uses of
paper in China have been found, the
oldest being a map found at Fangmatan
dating from 179-141 BC.
Papermaking spread slowly from China
as they were reluctant to share its
secret. A legend tells that after the
defeat of the Chinese in the battle of
Talas (751AD) in present-day
Kyrgyzstan, two Chinese prisoners
bought their lives by revealing paper
making secrets, leading to the first
Islamic paper mill in Samarkand. The
Muslim world quickly improved the
process, using water power and trip
hammers to replace the manual
pounding of the materials.
In Europe, the oldest known paper
document is the Mozarab Missal of
Silos, dating from the 11th century.
European paper production has been
recorded in Spain in 1151, Italy in 1276
and Germany in 1320 with a mill
established at Nuremburg in 1390. Due
to their noise and smell they were
required by medieval law to be erected
outside of a city’s perimeter!
The first English paper mill was
established in 1490 near Stevenage, but
the first commercially successful mill
was established by John Spitman near
Dartford in 1588 using German
expertise (no doubt patronised by
William Shakespeare!)
Thanks to the Chinese
we have the materials to
produce our magazine
and you have the
pleasure of reading it!
Thank you, Cai Lun!

New Skate Park
The new skate park should open this month in Tredegar Park. It is to replace
the old one at the International Sports Village and is, I am told, far better. The
opening has been delayed due to the bad weather that has been around
recently which delays the pouring and finishing of the concrete. The opening
date should be announced on www.newport.gov.uk in the leisure section of
the site.
Gwent Police Survey
Gwent Police are asking residents to complete a survey to help them set
policing priorities. Called “Your Voice Counts” the simple to complete survey
can be completed online at http://bit.ly/yuorvoicecounts2012 It gives you the
chance to influence decisions which will be made in the future and will aid the
Police by helping them to better understand the concerns of residents.

Wastesavers and Recycling
After a successful trial in Newport Wastesavers will shortly be supplying
homes with clear plastic bags in which to put plastics. This idea is in addition
to the green box that you already have and is intended to prevent plastic
items blowing around the streets on collection days and leave more space in
your green baskets for other recyclable items. You can also now put out
smaller electrical items for collection as long as they will fit in the blue basket.
You will still have to telephone the City Call Centre on 01633 656656 if you
have large items to dispose of or take them to the Maesglas recycling centre
yourself. If you are unable to carry your recycling baskets out to the pavement

14th and 15th July. Details of events can be found at www.caerleon-arts.org or
call 01633 430194
Super Dragons 2
July sees the appearance of another tribe of 60 Superdragons around the
City of Newport. Following the success of the scheme last year a new group
with new designs has been created by local artists for this year. They are
forming a trail for people to follow around the City at key locations which you
can find online. This proved very popular last year, particularly with children,
with 1000’s visiting all 60 dragons. Business and other organisations or
individuals can sponsor a dragon which will then become theirs at the end of
the event in September. A wide range of themed items relating to the dragons
is also available including a ceramic version which you can paint yourself. For
details contact 01633 656757 or visit www.newportsuperdragons.co.uk
Parklife and the Big Splash
This year the very popular free family event is being held at Rodney Parade,
the home of Gwent Dragons Rugby, on 15th July from 12.00 until 5.00pm.As
well as plenty of events to amuse the younger ones there are also
contributions from most of the Council’s departments. On the same weekend
the Big Splash event is taking place from the 13th – 16th July on and around
the Riverfront. For a full programme of events go to the Council website

Make-up
Masterclass
By Helen Taylor
If you love fashion then you’ll
constantly update your
wardrobe to keep ahead in
the style stakes and on track
with the latest trends, but when did you last
update your make-up look?
If you step outside of your cosmetic comfort
zone, you might just be thrilled with the
results.
Finding The Perfect Base
To find the perfect foundation, consider your
skin type. Whether you have oily, dry,
combination or ageing skin, there’s a product
available that’s been specially formulated for
you.
If you’re lucky enough to have a clear
complexion, don’t hide it under layers of
heavy make-up. Choose a tinted moisturiser
that will give a touch of colour and simply
enhance your natural skin tone.
However if you do have imperfections to hide,
a full coverage foundation will do the job.
Don’t be tempted to apply too much product
because it can result in an unnatural finish, so
simply cover the areas that need it most with
a lighter covering for the rest of the face.
Wearing too much foundation not only looks
dated, but can be very ageing, so keep things
light and fresh.
Lighten Up
Using a highlighter is a great way to fake a
fresh-faced look. The luminous, light reflecting
liquid immediately lifts a dull complexion when
applied carefully to the brow bones,
cheekbones and bridge of your nose - areas
where light naturally hits your skin. Use a
small amount and blend thoroughly.
A Touch Of Blush
Warm up your face with a touch of colour.
Whether you choose powder, cream or gel
blusher, make sure the colour is right for you.
Stick to neutral shades that add warmth and
define the cheekbones and stay away from
any shades that are unnatural. Shocking pink
is dated and unflattering. Apply the product to
the apples of your cheeks working gently
upwards and outwards.
The Eyes Have It
For a modern eye make-up look, sweep a
natural coloured shadow across the entire eye.
Use a lighter shade on the brow bone and inner
corners of the eyes and apply a darker shade
to the sockets to add definition. Blend
thoroughly to avoid harsh lines.
Using an eyeliner, draw a line just above the
lashes to add definition to the eye. Pencil liners
provide a soft result whereas liquid liners are
more intense. Try flicking the liner up and out a
little at the outer corners to create subtle, small
flicks - it’s a great way to ‘lift’ the eye area.
Swap black liner (and mascara) for brown - it’s
much more flattering on older women.
Try using a white eyeliner on the inner rim of
your lower lashes. It enhances the eyes and
creates a fresh, wide-eyed look.
Eyelash curlers might look scary, but they are a
must have beauty tool - always use before you
apply a few coats of mascara.
Don’t forget your eyebrows - keep them neatly
groomed and set the shape by using a brow
gel.
Get Lippy
Choose soft shades of glossy red and pink for
a hint of colour on the lips. Use a primer before
application to ensure longevity - if you don’t
have one, foundation works well. A lip liner in a
similar shade to your lipstick will help with
definition, but use it very lightly and blend well
to avoid any harsh lines - it shouldn’t be visible
once your lipstick is on.
Make your pout appear fuller by applying a dab
of gloss to the centre of the lips for the ideal
finish.
