Jokes A mother mouse and a baby mouse are walking along, when all of a sudden, a cat attacks them.

The mother mouse goes, "BARK!" and the cat runs away.

"See?" says the mother mouse to her baby. "Now do you see why it's important to learn a foreign language?"

A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an Old Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow rain."

The best revenge is happiness, because nothing drives people more crazy than seeing someone actually having a good life.

The next day it rained.

A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow storm."

The next day there was a hailstorm.

"This Indian is incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather.

However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.

Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending

on you. What will the weather be like?"

The Indian shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't know," he said. "Radio broken."

Then he walks back out and asks for a rum and a cola. The bartender asks, "Weren't you just the string that walked in here?"

"No," he says, "I'm a frayed knot!"

I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep.

In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.

Grandpa was celebrating his 100th birthday and everybody complimented him on how athletic and well-preserved he appeared.

"Gentlemen, I will tell you the secret of my success," he cackled. "I have been in the open air day after day for some 75 years now."

The celebrants were impressed and asked how he managed to keep up his rigorous fitness regime.

"Well, you see my wife and I were married 75 years ago. On our wedding night, we made a solemn pledge. Whenever we had a fight, the one who was proved wrong would go outside and take a walk."

"Hey, Mom," asked Johnny "Can you give me twenty euro?"

"Certainly not."

"If you do," he went on, "I'll tell you what dad said to the maid when you were at the beauty shop."

His mother's ears perked up and, grabbing her purse, she handed over the money. "Well? What did he say?"

"He said, 'Hey, Marie, make sure you wash my socks tomorrow.' "

A string walks into bar and asks for a rum and a cola. But the bartender says, "There is no strings allowed in here!"

So he goes into the bathroom and ties himself into a knot and frays himself at the ends.

Cappawhite Pupils Visit Áras an Uachtaráin On Wednesday June 13th, pupils and teachers from Cappawhite N.S. were honoured to be invited to visit Áras an Uachtaráin. On arrival, they were greeted by Sergeant John Grennan, from the aide- de camp's office. All pupils received refreshments as they entered the state reception room.

“Help us to help them”

The Punt In Borrisoleigh Businesses in the town of Borrisoleigh in County Tipperary have started accepting the old Irish Punt as payment for goods and services. The local traders hope it will encourage people to dig out those old notes and coins that may be resting in jam jars around the town and that people from outside the area might visit to spend their old currency.

Although the Punt is no longer legal tender since it was discontinued in 2002 the Central Bank will still exchange Irish pound notes and coins for Euros. The town of Clones Co. Monaghan has recently hit the headlines where dozens of businesses have agreed to accept the punt. The town of Murgados in Northern Spain re-introduced the Peseta alongside the Euro earlier this year.

Local Borrisoleigh businessman Derry O Donnell who publishes the Tipp Tatler contacted a number of local businesses with the suggestion.

He said “I was inspired by the Clones example and contacted a few people. Everyone was pretty keen on the idea, so far nearly a dozen local businesses that I’ve spoken to have agreed to accept the old Irish Punt. I expect more businesses that I didn’t get a chance to speak with will join the initiative once they hear about it.

It’s a great way to hopefully give a bit of a boost to the town’s businesses.

And the way things are going in Europe at least we’ll be prepared if the whole country goes back to the Punt!”

The businesses that are so far accepting the old currency are: The Tipp Tatler magazine Finn’s Bar, The Clodagh Bar Julia’s Hair Salon, Mary’s Hair Salon Fairy Fort Farm, Tipperary Mountain Trekking Centre, Shanahan’s Centra Supermarket & Topaz Filling Station Walsh’s Costcutters Shop, Hurley’s Gala Shop and Ryan’s Garage

Free IT Advice For Tipperary Businesses the Presidents' two Bernese Mountain dogs, Bród and Shadow, who happily posed for photographs with the children. The visit concluded with a brief tour of the formal gardens. It was indeed a privilege for all in Cappawhite N.S. to have visited the official residence of our president.

Devery says. “This series of talks are an opportunity for local businesses to educate themselves on how to maximise the IT that they are using.

“The first night will focus on how to use Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn as part of a marketing campaign and also to communicate with current and potential customers and clients.

The first in a number of talks entitled, “Social Media for Business”, will focus on the use of social media and the beneficial uses it can have in growing a business.

The event is being hosted by local IT support company, Complete Computer Solutions, based in Friar’s Court in Nenagh. Conference organiser, Dave

The nights are free to attend with registration required on the BIT Conf website beforehand. It will also allow local business people to attend without having to travel to the likes of Dublin or Cork for such events.”

Walk The Burren for a Good Cause Mid-Tipp Hillwalkers recent summer climbing expedition to the English Lake District was a great success in good weather. On the first day a large group completed Scafell Pike the highest mountain in Britain. This marked the completion of the four peaks challenge (climbing the highest mountains of each country on these islands) for Dan Condren, Templemore; Marianne Cleary, Thurles; Ollie Walsh, Moyne; Bridget Browne, Moycarkey and Tom Cummins, Graigue.

This group then went on to ascend the famous Broad Stand rockclimbing route on Scafell under the leadership of Dan Condren. On the following day, Josephine Tobin led a circuit of Helvellyn while including traverses of the captivating Striding Edge and Swirral ridges.

Meanwhile, John G O'Dwyer, Joan Quinn, Bridget Browne, Winnie Flynn, and Dan Condren broke away from the main bunch to ascend the famous vertical pillar of Napes Needle.

The Hairy Tulip competition takes place at the Abbey Court Hotel Nenagh this Saturday the 30th of June at 8pm and tickets are now on sale at the Abbey Court Hotel. The competition has been building for some months now with 18 men from across the County dressing up and competing in a beauty pageant competition. All contestants have had ball gown fittings and the make-up artists are on hand to beautify the men. The lineup for the competition includes Miss Spanner, Mis Laid, Mis Treat, Scarlett Charlotte, Miss Tess Tickles and Connie Della Haney. Of course the competition wouldn’t be complete without our very own Mrs Brown!! The final decision rests with the judges on the evening as to who will be crowned The Hairy Tulip.

Men frequently feel isolated and alone as there is little talk or understanding of the sexual abuse of boys and, particularly, of the sexual assault of adult men. Rape Crisis Midwest however, does provide a safe environment where the survivor comes first. Our free phone number is 1800 311511 For further details log on to www.rapecrisis.ie or follow the Hairy Tulips on facebook. Don’t forget that tickets are available at the Abbey Court Hotel, from the tulips themselves and on the door that evening.

In addition to raising funds and awareness for Rape Crisis Midwest in a good natured way, this pageant also hopes to challenge the stereotype that Rape Crisis Centres are just for women.

Rape Crisis Midwest provides free, professional counselling for male and female survivors of all forms of sexual abuse. It can be extremely difficult for Marion Murphy Cooney (Fashion men to come forward and look for help. Designer), Miss Verity Chippendale, Lisa Hickey (Tipperary Rose)

Learn from Elephants As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to

believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

So make an attempt to grow further....

Why shouldn't we try it again? Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt & CHOOSE not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past.

Female-Run Food Businesses on Winning Menu at Network Awards Two food business entrepreneurs have claimed top honours at a Business Network Awards Ceremony in Tipperary on June 19th.

Margaret O’ Connor, who helped to turn the Quigley’s chain of bakery cafes into a multi-million euro business employing over 150 people, and Elaine Dorris, who set up Lough Derg Chocolates with her husband just seven months ago, both won top awards at the Network North Tipperary Business Women of the Year Awards, sponsored by AIB. O’Connor, the joint Managing Director of Quigley’s, joined the 5th generation family business in 1988, helping to grow the company from just one outlet to sixteen café outlets across nine counties. O’Connor was presented with the ‘Existing Business’ award by Martin Troy, Branch Manager of AIB Nenagh at the awards ceremony, which took place at the Fairways Bar and Orchard Restaurant in Nenagh earlier this evening (June 19th).

Elaine Dorris, who had previously worked in the construction industry before taking redundancy in 2008, was presented with the ‘Emerging Business’ Award by Rita Guinan, CEO from the Tipperary North County Enterprise Board. Dorris and her husband, Malachy, set up the hand-made luxury chocolate company in Nenagh, just before Christmas 2011.

“Our winning entrepreneurs clearly have a passion for food and for business and are both incredibly focussed on achieving their company objectives,” said Fiona Connolly, the President of Network North Tipperary. “Although our two winners are at very different stages in the business life cycle, they both

exhibit key entrepreneurial characteristics. According to the judging panel, both entrepreneurs were energetic, measured risk-takers and both had an understanding of how important their teams were to the success of the business.”

Margaret Ryan from Storm Web Management took the runner-up prize in the ‘Existing Business’ category and Camelia Shanahan from Meli Bondre came runner-up in the category for ‘Emerging Business’.

Towards the end of the ceremony, the Tipperary-born humanitarian aid worker and writer, Adi Roche, was presented with an honorary award, ‘Tipperary Woman of the Year’, by the President of the Network.

This is the second annual Network North Tipperary Business Women of the Year Awards and last year’s winners were Anne Marie Walsh from The Tipperary Kitchen in the ‘Existing Business’ category and Louisa Condon from The Ant Team in the ‘Emerging Business’ category.

Other 2012 shortlisted nominees this year included Una Ryan from Marketing Eye, Emma D’Arcy from Integral Marketing (both ‘Emerging Business’ nominees), Georgina Kearney O’Dwyer & Helen O’ Dwyer from George Lang Hair Group and Joan McGowan from the Fairways Bar and Orchard Restaurant (both ‘Established Business’ nominees).

Network North Tipperary is open to women in business and holds meetings the second Tuesday of each month in Nenagh and Thurles. For more information contact, Lisa McGee, PRO at 086-3475671 or go to the website at www.networknorthtipp.ie.

Pictured at Network North Tipperary Business Women of the Year Awards are Martin Troy, Branch Manager at AIB Nenagh, Margaret Ryan, Storm Web Development (Runner-Up, Existing Business), Margaret O’ Conner, Quigley’s Bakery (Winner, Existing Business) Fiona Connolly, Lyons Ford Nenagh and President, Network North Tipperary, Elaine Dorris, Lough Derg Chocolates (Winner, Emerging Business), Camelia Shanahan, Meli Bondre (Runner-Up, Emerging Business) and Rita Guinan, North Tipperary County Enterprise Board.

Chronic Muscular Pain/Deep Dry Needling As a continuation to our discourse on Myofascial Trigger Point Release Therapy, Chartered Physiotherapists may utilize the more advanced and effective Deep Dry Needling, as opposed to hands on Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy.

limited to neck, back and shoulder pain, arm pain (tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, golfers elbow), headache to include migraines and tension type head-aches, jaw pain, buttock pain and leg pain (sciatica, hamstring strains, calf tightness/spasms).

Dry Needling is an invasive procedure in which a solid filament needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point. A myofascial trigger point consists of multiple contraction knots which are related to the production and maintenance of a patients pain cycle.

Typically it takes several visits for a positive reaction to take place. In essence, your chartered physiotherapist is trying to create mechanical and biochemical changes which takes time. Therefore, we are looking for a cumulative response to achieve a certain threshold after which the pain cycle is changed. Dry Needling is often utilized in the clinic as just one of many modalities we utilize along with stretching, strengthening, etc. Treatment will continue until either there are no palpable Myofascial Trigger points, or until the patients complaints have been alleviated.

Historically, Deep Dry Needling is primarily a Western technique, which was first explored and recorded by President John F. Kennedy’s doctors, Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. David Simons. How Dry Needling exactly works is not known, but we do know that is has mechanical and biomechanical effects. Based on the continued and pioneering research by Dr. Jay Shaw and colleagues at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, we know that inserting the needle into the trigger point can cause favourable biomechanical changes which assists in decreasing patients pain.

Dry Needling can be used for a variety of musculoskeletal problems in which muscles are considered to be the primary contributing factor to the signs and symptoms. Such conditions include, but are not

With Thanks to Bethesda Physiocare (USA) and Dr. Jan Dommerhalt for some of the information provided in this article.

It is important that when seeking treatment from a Physiotherapist, to ask if they a ‘CHARTERED PHYSIOTHERPIST.’ Therese Ryan and Dan Walsh are both members of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists practicing in Thurles and Templemore. For appointments please phone 050426090.

A great community effort has swung into action to raise funds to build a children’s playground in Clonoulty. The playground has already been designed and a site within the GAA grounds has been generously donated by Clonoulty-Rossmore GAA. This wonderful new facility will boast state of the art play equipment from the Crazy Daisy, Gym and Play Panels for the younger age groups, to the Wobble Bridge, Spinner Bowl and Supernova for older children.

“This new facility, set in the heart of the Parish, will provide a very welcome addition to the area. It will offer a wide range of equipment and will provide challenging play for young children of all abilities, as well as being a positive social gathering place for the local community for

Hall. The cost is €10 per person with a family discount available.

Every Friday from 15th June at the Foroige Youth Centre, Town Hall, the Foroige Friday The Foroige Arts and Crafts Evening Drop In will be held.

Camp is being held from 31st For ages between 10 and 14, July to 1st August for girls and the times are 4.30pm to 6.30pm while the 15 to 18 age boys aged 10 to 12 at the Foroige Youth Centre, Town

many years to come” said Fiona Kennedy, Chairperson.

“Funding has been agreed in principal by South Tipperary Development Company Ltd., in the region of €140,000 but we have to raise €7,000 ourselves before the funding can be officially applied for. Our immediate priority therefore is fundraising and we have several events coming up, including a “do” in Coffey’s of Stouke, Rossmore. We have spoken with local businesses who have agreed to place collection jars on their counters-even small change adds up and bag-packing will take place in Dunnes Stores in Thurles over the August Bank Holiday weekend. We will also be organising the collection of old Nokia mobile phones and some exciting events for the whole family coming up to Christmas.”

group have the time of 7.00pm to 9.00pm. This event is free.

For more information, please contact Brid Bradshaw on 086-8038429 or email to brid.bradshaw@foroige.ie or contact Olivia O'Sullivan on 086-6079982 or email to olivia.osullivan@foroige.ie.

The Committee have already started running Bingo once a month at 8.30pm on Sunday evening in Clonoulty Hall.

Monies raised through the Bingo are crucial as evidence of a steady stream of income to provide for ongoing maintenance of the playground must be provided when the funding application is submitted.

“Many hands make light work so we are asking that all parents get involved, in even the smallest way-come on Sunday evenings and play bingo; give just two hours of your time to the bagpacking; attend and support as many fundraising events as you can. This playground, which we hope to see completed during 2012, will benefit, not just the children of Clonoulty- Rossmore, but of all the outlying towns and villages.”

By Jim O’Shea

Unfortunately, as sufferers begin to recover from a bout of major depression they get the energy and the capacity to carry out suicidal thoughts that may have occurred to them early in the bout of depression. It is always hard to know if any particular sufferer will go ahead and complete suicide, but it is certain that even with every precaution being taken a small proportion of depressive people are likely to die by suicide. Major depression with psychotic features carries a higher risk of suicide than major depression alone. It seems, too, that being assimilated into another culture increases the rate of suicide ideation (thinking) among immigrants, especially young people.

You may recall that at the beginning of these articles I said that there were two broad forms of depression, unipolar and bipolar. I would now like to leave unipolar (being down) depression for a while, and quickly explore bipolar depression which is characterised by episodes of highs and lows (hence bipolar meaning two opposite poles).

This used be termed manic depression.

The highs are referred to as mania or hypomania. Mania is defined as a period of abnormally and persistently elevated or irritable mood lasting at least 1 week and combining with at least four of the following symptoms - inflated selfesteem, grandiosity (being pompous), decreased need for sleep, much talkativeness, racing thoughts, poor concentration, being easily distracted, and being inclined to be over involved in pleasurable but risky behaviours.

Hypomania is a milder form of mania, lasting 4 days or more, and containing at least three of the above symptoms.
