Jokes William's wife started noticing how forgetful he was becoming. Being the concerned wife, she convinced him to see a doctor. William was a little worried when the doctor came in. Sensing his patient's nervousness, the first thing the doctor did was to ask what was troubling him.

"Well," William answered. "I seem to be getting forgetful. I'm never sure I can remember where I put the car, or whether I answered a letter, or where I'm going, or what it is I'm going to do once I get there, if I get there. So, I really need your help.

What can I do?"

The doctor thought for a moment, then answered in his kindest tone, "Can you pay me in advance."

A man was getting told off by his wife for drinking so much and all the harm he was doing his liver. The man nodded quietly in agreement and then replied “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams.

Well what if I didn't drink this beer?

Those workers might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.

Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

What others say about ‘The Rub’ Hi Dorrie, My husband was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and had to come off the medication due to a reaction. He has been using the rub and is delighted with the result. His pain has

almost completely gone and it is very easy to apply with no side effects. Its a fantastic natural product and he is delighted to have found something that helps his condition. Mary Wall, Limerick

Dive Ireland International 2015 in association with Diving Ireland (The Irish Underwater Council) and Lough Derg Sub Aqua Club is the highlight of the SCUBA diving calender. This year, the 10th Irish dive show will take place in The Great National Abbey Court Hotel in Nenagh Co. Tipperary from February 28th to March 1st 2015.

The show boasts an unrivalled programme of speakers who will cover a wide variety of topics relating to diving and the underwater world. It will also have a magnificent photography exhibition with a large display of images taken by underwater photographers throughout the passed 12 months. If that wasn't enough, there will be a trade show at the event where national and international companies will exhibit their wares and overall it is just a fantastic opportunity for divers, snorkellers and lovers of the sea to gather and catch up on the year just passed.

LDSAC hosted a launch night at The Abbey Court Hotel on Tuesday, January 13th 2015 and despite the heavy

snowfall and treacherous driving conditions, it was still very well attended.

LDSAC would like to take this opportunity to thank Minister Alan Kelly, Cllrs Hughie Mc Grath, Joe Hannigan, Ger Darcy, Seamie Morris and Tipperary County Chief Executive Joe Mc Grath for attending the launch.

Minister for the environment, community and local government Alan Kelly officially launched the event and spoke of his love of Lough Derg and commended LDSAC (one of 83 scuba diving clubs country wide) for all the hard work that was put into the pitch to host Dive Ireland 2015. He also spoke about how the upcoming event is likely to benefit Nenagh's commercial and tourism industries as their is approximately 1500 people expected to attend over the two days.

We invite all members of the public with a curiosity for SCUBA diving, snorkelling or all things under the sea to attend this event and for further information please visit our website at Diveireland.ie or find us on Facebook at Dive Ireland 2015. See you there!

Tipperary Novelist Expecting a Magical Year One of this year’s most anticipated children’s books, The Magic Maloneys and the End of the World, is the first novel by Cloughjordan-based author Nigel Quinlan.

The Magic Maloneys and the End of the World will be published on 7 May

by Orion Children’s Books (Hardback at £10.99, 9781444014143), and in the US by Roaring Brook Press as The Maloneys’ Magical Weatherbox.

Neil and Liz Maloney live in the midlands, and their father is the Weatherman.

This isn’t the person on the television talking about high pressure and rainfall; the Weatherman is the gatekeeper of the seasons. But this year autumn hasn’t arrived. What do a tourist, two hags, and a bog beast have to do with it all?

Why can Mrs. Fitzgerald control the weather? And can Neil and Liz stop the chaos before it’s the end of the world?

Although this novel is Nigel’s first, he is no stranger to publication. His short stories for adults have been published in the magazine Albedo One and This Way Up, an anthology of Irish science fiction/fantasy writing.

He has also contributed to Sunday Miscellany, most recently with the poem ‘January Rises’, which was broadcast earlier this month. He is currently working on his second novel for Orion Books.

ENTERTAINMENT Southern Tenant Folk Union at The Source Arts Centre Thurles

Upcoming at Nenagh Arts Centre

– Folk, bluegrass, roots and a whole lot more!

‘The Nualas: Lock Up Your Husbands’

Southern Tenant Folk Union are the Edinburgh based six-piece string band that over a series of albums have produced a thought provoking and arresting take on roots & folk music. They run their own record label and work completely independently releasing their own music.

Through extensive touring they have seen audiences grow year on year and now consistently sell-out concert venues all over the UK and Ireland.

Artistically successful their albums have been reviewed and praised in The Guardian, The Independent, The Sunday Times and The Irish Times.

Started in 2006 by Belfast born musician Pat McGarvey, he has through various different line-ups of the collective, driven ever increasingly forward to create roots music that has depth both lyrically and musically.

The name itself comes from a desire to find a union based name for the group and one that also suited the style of music.

Their 6th album, ‘The Chuck Norris Project’, was released last month launching at Celtic Connections and takes the disparate influences the band has, expands upon them, and progresses the experiment ever fur-

Date: Saturday 7th March Time: 9pm Tickets: €18/16

ther whilst always posing the question “what can we do with these acoustic instruments?”.

The band continue to tour in the manner of Willie Nelson, that is with an exciting live show that engages the audience, talks & tells stories, discusses issues, is informal and also one that displays the fully eclectic and interesting music from across the band’s career to date. And like Willie they play the hits. They stop over in Thurles for one night only, do not miss a chance to catch this unique gifted collective live.

Sports Strapping- A Good or Bad Thing?

As ever sports person knows, strapping of peripheral joints by a physiotherapist prior to training or a match is a common occurrence in any dressing room. Players initially start getting a particular body part strapped secondary to sustaining an injury, but does that mean you can just forget about the rehab and go back playing?

It is important to remember that strapping of any joint due to injury is only an immediate and temporary solution. Strapping only supports the area for the period the tape is applied and does not encourage any rehabilitation or retraining of the underlying neuromuscular impairment during this time. So although strapping as a standalone solution allows a person to continue to play, it does not promote or encourage a complete return to full fitness. This then becomes an issue when a player who is eager to return to playing, skips the rehab phase and relies on the strapping to compensate for the insufficiencies that he/she are lacking as a result of the injury. This ultimately means that this player is always at a higher risk of re injury and additional damage. It also may explain why players, although still playing, experience ongoing pain and discomfort throughout the season.

It is therefore important to remember that rehabilitation is the key to a successful and uneventful return to play. It is imperative for any player who has been injured to seek their local chartered physiotherapist. This ensures that they receive the correct advice and help with managing their initial/ongoing injury and will guarantee the design and implementation of an appropriate rehabilitation programme so that a return to full fitness can be achieved. It also means that strapping no longer becomes your primary treatment and preventative measure, but a complementary adjunct that is part of an all round rehabilitation strategy to keeping you fit, healthy and on top of your game.

Counselling Anxiety

(continued from previous issue)

Anxiety.

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Rumination as a cause of.

Some writers have described GAD as is a feeling of trepidation about impending doom, filling the sufferer with unease, and a sense of being out of control. This unease springs from exaggerated worry and tension, even though there is little happening to warrant it. Sufferers may be overly worried about health, money, family, work and so on. They know that they are worrying over small matters, but cannot shake the tension and worry.

So, generalised anxiety is an unreasonable worry that is very difficult to control. It interferes with living a full life, and if it is severe, it can restrict a person to a great degree, so that carrying out the simplest of tasks may become a heavy burden. No wonder that many victims suffer from depression. They are constantly tormented by a never-ending loop of thinking, and rumination. It has long been established, as I have shown in my articles on depression that rumination is one of the behaviours associated with depression.

Research has shown that generalised anxiety is much more common in women. It is also true that women ruminate more than men, and rumination (obsessive thinking) is normally associated with anxiety/depressive symptoms. Those who ruminate are more likely to succumb to anxiety, because, as I mentioned, are plagued by a neverending cascade of negative thinking throughout the day. They focus on their symptoms of distress and always look on the negative side, strengthening their sense of being trapped in a negative spiral. Their responsive thoughts about their distress focus on their powerlessness, and generate hopelessness. They are uncertain about how to manage stress situations, and whether they can control these situations. This uncertainty keeps them on the treadmill of the thinking circuit, so that the future always looks bleak.

They constantly ask questions about their situations, focus exclusively on their symptoms and what may happen to them, but never find certain answers. Consequently, they become more sensitised and vigilant, and this can evolve into a constant state of anxiety, or GAD. Their questioning of their situation continues to feed into this anxiety. It has been suggested that excessive rumination is caused by building increasingly large neural connections of negative thoughts as the rumination intensifies.

By Jim O’Shea In other words, this behaviour practised on a continuous basis constructs more and more negative pathways in our brain. That is a sobering thought for anyone with a pessimistic outlook.

As I have said in my articles on depression, people who ruminate are more prone to binge drinking, eating disorders, and self-harm.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to shed this behaviour. Counselling can be very helpful here, but care must be taken that when exploring the roots of anxiety. Rumination is not encouraged. This is a balancing act.

For example, thinking about childhood may be necessary, but that does not mean becoming obsessed with it. We go back to childhood to emotionally re-experience it so that we can move on. Of course, we can use the themes of the rumination as a way of exploring issues.

The symptoms of GAD are like those of the other types of anxiety mentioned below. Sufferers may be subject to uncontrollable trembling, muscle aches, headaches, hot flushes, spasms, unease, shortness of breath, palpitations, sweating, stomach aches, and tachycardia (rapid heartbeat).

These are very distressing symptoms, and experiencing them may fuel feelings of anxiousness. There is a danger that they might be mistaken as the cause of GAD, rather than its symptom.

Some sufferers feel fearful and aggressive, and others suffer spells of dizziness. They cannot sleep properly, lose their appetite, are easily startled, and find it difficult to concentrate. They may be restless and fidgety, may also have the urge to go to the bathroom frequently.
