Advertorial

People management: Good working relationships are so very important ACCORDING TO the Employment Appeals Tribunal Annual Report 2011, the number of unfair dismissals disposed increased by 32% compared to the previous year and the compensation awarded to 338 cases amounted to over â&#x201A;Ź6miliion. Having a good working relationship between employers and staff is beneďŹ cial in order to achieve each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respective goals and objectives in a fair, friendl, productive and successful working environment. Under employment legislation, employers have responsibilities towards their employees, but equally they have their own rights too. The implementation of policies and procedures that create a fair, consistent and impartial working environment can ultimately lead to productive, trusted relationships among all parties. Unfortunately there are instances whereby problems and issues arise. However if policies are in place these issues can often be resolved in an informal manner. If an employee feels he or she has been unfairly

dismissed, he or she can submit a claim for redress to a Rights Commissioner or directly to the Employment Appeals Tribunal under the Unfair Dismissals Acts. Burden of proof In general, under legislation the burden of proof assumes that each dismissal should be presumed to be unfair unless the employer can show substantial grounds justifying the dismissal. The Kilkenny County Enterprise Board is running a one-day workshop entitled People Management â&#x20AC;&#x201C; discipline and dismissals on Thursday, October 17. The workshop will outline

the importance of putting discipline and grievance procedures in place and inform employers about the steps necessary to ensure corrective action when discipling staff. For further details about this programme or if you would like to register to attend the SYOB course log on to www. kceb.ie or you can contact 42 Parliament Street, Kilkenny, 056-7752662 or enquiries@ kceb.ie For all media queries, please contact the Kilkenny County Enterprise Board 42 Parliament St Kilkenny enquiries@kceb.ie 0567752662.

It was a hard fought and exciting soccer game. It ended Parkville 3, Deen Celtic 3 and Celtic edged it 7-6 on penalties. This was a much better performance than in previous games. The team looked more organised and stronger. Deen fell behind but when Shaun Holden was fouled, Da-

vid Lynch scored the penalty. Parkville went ahead midway through the second half but Deen fought back again. A David Lynch cracker brought the tie to extra time which was even until a piece of magic from Shaun Holden resulted in Deen going ahead for the ﬁrst time in the match. With about a minute to go, a mistake in the Celtic defence let Parkville in for their third goal and so to penalties. Robbie Lynch saved two penalties and goal king Eric Kavanagh scored the important penalty.

IT’S NOT ALL GOLF The Lady Helen restaurant has an impressive trophy cabinet that includes three AA rosettes and the Best Hotel Restaurant accolade. But nothing quite matches the Michelin star it has now been awarded.

“It’s such a prestigious thing and known the world over,’’ says chef John Kelly. “This will really put us on the international map.’’ John is one of seven chefs at the restaurant in the Mount Juliet hotel, operating under the guidance of executive chef Cormac Rowe. Front of house staff bring the full team up to 16. And a team it really is. John emphasises this aspect time and again. “It’s team work that got us the star,’’ he says. “No one person could have done it.’’ Cormac Rowe echoes that sentiment. “I’m so proud of the team,’’ he says. Michelin Guide inspectors paid four visits to the restaurant, famed for its panoramic views over the River Nore and the Mount Juliet estate, announcing their presence after only one of the visits. The inspectors do not go in for discussion, so nobody can say for sure what secures an award but in the case of the Lady Helen it’s a safe bet that its unﬂinching commitment to local produce will have helped.

Kilmore scallops, Duncannon crab, Kilkenny pork, are all on the menu with local vegetables and fresh herbs picked from

the garden at the Mount Juliet Estate. Having Michelin stars for two of its restaurants makes Kilkenny unique in Ireland outside Dublin. Kilkenny tourism chairman Colin Ahern sees the awards as conﬁrming the county’s reputation for ‘’top class artisan food producers’’. “We’re one of the top food destinations not just in Ireland but in the world,’’ he says. John Kelly concedes that the famous star will heighten expectations about the restaurant but has no fear that customers will be disappointed. The Lady Helen is, after all, the only restaurant in Ireland to receive three AA rosettes. The winning formula, according to the AA inspectors, was “innovative cooking based on local seasonal supplies ... presentations are creative and minutely detailed, yet nothing feels overworked.’’ That’s obviously the formula that worked for the Michelin team as well and the key to success in the future. As John Kelly says, “We’ve just got to keep on doing what we’re doing.’’

THE STAR

OF THE SHOW

ot many chefs can lay claim to a Michelin star but Garrett Byrne has helped win two of them. The ﬁrst came in 2007 when he was head chef at Chapter One in Dublin. Now the Michelin laurel has been awarded to his own wonderful restaurant, Campagne in Kilkenny’s Gashouse Lane. Winning the coveted star as part of a team was just great, says Garrett, but nothing beats doing it for yourself. “It’s just incredible, a great honour,’’ he says. “Although to be honest it hasn’t sunk in yet. It will be a while before I really start to believe it.’’ And that’s coming from a man who already had the title Chef of the Year to his credit before opening Campagne in 2008 with his partner Brid Hannon, the restaurant’s manager. He has since been voted Best Chef in Ireland and has helped earn Campagne the title of Best Restaurant in Leinster. “All recognition is great,’’ he said. “But Michelin is different.

It’s such a very international award.’’ The award will mean huge publicity for Campagne and Gareth expects a proportionate increase in levels of expectation ... “we’ll have to be pretty much perfect from now on’’. Regular diners at the cleverly designed restaurant beside the old railway arches reckon it’s pretty much perfect already. Garrett puts the success down to consistency, above all things. “Somebody comes

in on Tuesday and has a bowl of soup. They come back on Friday and have another bowl. They expect the same quality every time.’’ Garrett has ‘’absolutely no idea’’ what clinched the Michelin star. A Michelin inspector announced himself last October after dining alone at Campagne. He asked the ‘’usual questions’’, says Garrett. “You know ... how’s it going, are you busy, where are your chickens from?’’ Garrett had no problem answering the last question. He is passionate about supporting local and artisan producers. All of his meat and most of his vegetables are sourced locally. And local suppliers are clearly doing a great job for they have helped land Michelin stars for two Kilkenny restaurants. That could give the city a title long-claimed and muchcherished down in west Cork. “Move over Kinsale,’’ says Garrett. Move over, indeed. Now Kilkenny is the restaurant capital of Ireland.

BAGGAGE CLAIMS B aggage Claim racks up a lot of frequent flier miles criss-crossing the country in the name of finding love. It makes pit stops in Houston, Washington DC, New York City, Baltimore and Los Angeles, but despite all that traveling, it never really arrives anywhere new. It borrows from previous romantic comedies like What’s Your Number?, 27 Dresses and The Wedding Date, and in doing so, is never able to find enough original space to be its own movie. It’s just a retread of conversations and plot points viewers have seen before. Fortunately, many of those retreads are likable enough to get by. Montana Moore (Patton). She’s a hopeless romantic and in serious need of a rehearsal dinner date; so, she takes a page out of the Anna Faris playbook and decides to loop back around and check out the men she’s already been with. With the help of her good friends/ fellow flight attendants Sam (Adam Brody) and Gail (Jill Scott) and several of her co-workers who handle a variety of airport-related jobs, she begins stalking the former flames and engineering her schedule to bump into as many of the dudes as possible, either by working or taking the

same flights. She’s been with more than a handful of men in her day, but there are plenty of highlights including a rising star politician (Taye Diggs), a powerful hotel owner (Djimon Hounsou), an up and coming record producer (Trey Songz) and, of course, her longtime best friend who she doesn’t think of in that way (Derek Luke). Many of these encounters are amusing, enlightening or worthy of a oh-no-he-didn’t, and in them, the film has its single greatest strength. It might be formulaic, but there’s a reason why romantic comedies love incorporating former lovers. It’s an easy way to generate laughs and shoehorn in character development backstory. Baggage Claim isn’t really good by any definition. Its characters aren’t particularly well-developed, and its basic plot isn’t anything anyone would ever consider doing. The film contains one scene that’s so bizarrely shot and weirdly sexual that I’m still convinced it was originally meant to be a dream sequence, and it makes no sense that all of Moore’s ex-boyfriends started crushing life immediately after they separated. At no angle would any objective person look at Baggage Claim and pile on large

amounts of unqualified praise. But Baggage Claim is still remarkably average, which, in the world of romantic comedies, means it’s absolutely good enough to watch, given the right mood. Adam Brody and Jill Scott are absurdly wonderful as Montana’s constantly fighting co-workers, and there are more than a handful of big smiles to be had here. The acting is also a cut above your average rom-com, and any movie that reminds the world how loveable Tia Mowry is deserves at least a sideways thumb. If you’re the type of person who can offer a three minute impassioned defense of Fool’s Gold or more than five reasons why Just Like Heaven is worth grabbing out of a five dollar bin, paying to see this movie is far from a horrible idea. If you’ve always been annoyed by the overwhelming percentage of marginal romantic comedies that feature Kate Hudson or another generic white girl trying to get her happy ending and have always yearned to see more women of color embroiled in stupid schemes to land men, go ahead and line up for this one. For everyone else, prepare yourself to be lured in when Baggage Claim shows up on cable three years from now.

Xxx XXX newďŹ lms CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE

OF MEATBALLS 2 Directors Phil Lord and Chris Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 film Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a direct adaptation of the classic childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book from which it got its name, but it is one of the best animated movies in recent memory. With quick wit, fun characters, an awesome voice cast and unique animation, it was a fresh, inventive piece of filmmaking with a positive message and plenty of heart. Naturally, when a sequel was announced there was concern that it would wind up undercutting everything that was great about the original, but with some exception directors Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn have created a follow-up worthy of its predecessor. Unlike many animated films these days that try to ground themselves in our reality, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 is one of the few that fully embraces its cartoon moniker and is extremely silly and weird while never getting too dumb and alienating the older members of its audience. The film is littered with ridiculous, fun â&#x20AC;&#x153;foodimalâ&#x20AC;? puns, with crazy creatures like the tacodile supremes, wildebeets and shrimpanzees, but really is on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sA-game when utilizing them as sight gags (such as characters screaming about a â&#x20AC;&#x153;leek in the boatâ&#x20AC;? or someone talking about a job being a piece of cake before the camera pans to an anthropomorphic dessert). The humor is funny and quick, the movie never going too long without a one-liner or physical gag, and while not every bit lands and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite reach the level of the first movie, it will still have you laughing out loud. Not only are foodimals a great creative source for humor, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also an excellent gateway to some inspired and awesome looking animation. Each creature beautifully lives up to its name and is a perfect hybrid of the meal and beast that makes up its name, with the filmmakers adding brilliant touches like hippotatomuses having chives for teeth and pats of butter for tongues. The creatures even interact in fitting yet funny and unexpected ways, like mosquitoasts sucking sustenance from buttertoads (who also happen to sit on pancake lily pads). Sticking with the cartoony vibe, the movie isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly photorealistic, but it all works perfectly with the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aesthetic and is a wonderful example of what animation can do. As a sequel, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully stack up to the original, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive just how close it actually gets.

How to care for your pet dog In exchange for all the love and pleasure dogs give their families, they do require various kinds of care in return, many of them several times a day. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be scared -these will quickly become part of your familiar routine, and the better you get at caring for your pooch, the more pleasure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll both derive from your relationship. In this article, we cover all the key aspects of dog-care, including: Dog-Naming Tips Naming your pooch is a joyful task, but one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to put some thought into ahead of time. Both you and your dog will have to live with the name you choose for your entire time together. There are many ways to come up with appropriate dog names, including appearance, heritage, special characteristics, and behavior. We cover them all in this section. We will also tell you about some dog names and dog-naming mistakes you will definitely want to avoid. Dog Supplies Think of how many personal items you have, and how many of them are indispensable to your health and happiness. Dogs require fewer accessories than us humans, but theirs are no less vital, and by selecting the proper items, you can improve your poochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health in ever regard. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever ventured inside a pet store, you know how confusing it can be just picking out a collar or leash. We will cover all the basics like food and grooming accessories, as well as specialty items like a carrier. Dog Feeding Nothing is more vital to the health of your dog than proper feeding. Dogs are eager eaters, and this is part of their charm. But it also means that you need to be well informed about what is will give a dog good health and energy and what could be bad for her, despite her willingness to try it out. Here are all the details, including several make-itat-home recipes for delicious, nutritious and economical dog food. (We also answer the eternal question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do dogs eat plants?â&#x20AC;?) Puppy-Training Tips

A new puppy can really melt your heart, but they can also be a handful. The sooner your pooch is accustomed to doing his business outdoors and on schedule, the better for all of you. Interestingly, this is made easier when correlated to the feeding schedule. There is more to training your puppy than housebreaking, however. You must also know the correct way to humanely discipline your new dog when he misbehaves. All the details of this crucial stage in your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life are in this section. Dog-Grooming and Bathing Tips Dogs can get messy, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t naturally keep themselves quite as clean as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like them to be as co-habitants in our homes. As the owner, proper grooming on bathing is your responsibility. But there is more to caring for your dog than simple bathing. You must also care for your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nails, teeth, eyes and ears. So in this section we cover key strategies for keeping your pooch clean and everyone happy. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even tell you when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to throw in the towel and seek the aid of a professional groomer. Dog-ProoďŹ ng Your Home Dog-proofing your home can be just as challenging as proofing your home for a child or for allergies. For instance, do you know which types of houseplants can be poisonous for dogs? You might also be surprised to learn that some of your favorite treats can really upset your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stomach. For everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and happiness, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital to make your house safe for your dog and to train the pooch to respect the home, as well. In this section, we give indispensable advice for forging a good relationship between your pet and your residence.

FILM Stand By Me It seems that there has been no face more influential on modern film making than author Stephen King. The sheer amount of films that have been adapted from his novels and short stories is mind boggling and absolutely unprecedented; everything from It to The Shawshank Redemption to this is indebted to the one man. Stand By Me is based of the short Novella ‘The Body’ and follows the story of twelve year old Gordie and his three other friends who get word that the dead body of a boy their age has been seen and head out to find it. The journey takes several days and as it

continues we learn more and more of the characters backstories and they become three-dimensional people that we care for. Though released in 1986, the film is set in 1959 and is told from the perspective of a middle aged Gordie who has just found out that one of his friends was killed. It is a coming of age film that will appeal to both those living in the main characters age bracket as well as older viewers who can recall it with careless nostalgia. The film was directed by Rob Reiner who does an excellent job of making the characters all relatable and interesting without making sacrificing any of the charm inherent in both the time period and their age. All of the main characters have family issues

that will feel very relatable for many people; whether its Gordie’s parents ignoring him following the death of his brother, or Teddy having to grow up without a father or Chris being so limited with education because of his infamous family; all of the characters are extremely relatable and often sympathetic. They’re brought to life by fantastic acting all around; we have River Pheonix who puts in the best performance of his career as Chris in one famous scene from this ﬁlm, Corey Feldman whose career peaked in this period, and Will Wheaton who brings a plethora of depth to the main character. It is overall, an absolutely fantastic ﬁlm that will touch people of almost any age.

ALBUM

BOOK J.M Coetzee Disgrace (1999) Of all the faces in modern literature, Coetzee is probably the most critically acclaimed one. The South African author has been of the few authors world wide to win two separate booker prizes, one for this novel, as well as the Nobel Prize for literature in 2003. The novel tells the story of a 52year old literature professor called David Lurie. After having an affair with a student that leads to his disgrace in Cape Town, Lurie retreats to the countryside to live with his daughter Lucy in the Eastern Cape. After a period of adjusting he begins to enjoy the area until the farm is attacked by a group of locals. Lurie is set on ﬁre, the house is robbed, and all three assailants rape his daughter.

The novel’s main focus is on the characters lives and how the incident changes their relationship as well as how Lurie’s daughter, who doesn’t report the rape to the police, handles it. Coetzee had previously written books that criticized pre Apartheid South Africa such as The Life of Micheal K in 1983, but with Disgrace we see how life plays out for white South African’s after the end of Apartheid. He paints white’s as a dying breed who will be run out of the country within a generation or two, at least in the Eastern Cape. Not even the police can do anything to help after the injustice faced in the attack; they are on their own and must either become vassals or leave. There is a lot of content in this book, and Coetzee covers so much more ground in 200 pages than most others would in double that amount. One

Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (2000)

could discuss David not letting his daughter live her life, his work trying to make art out of Byron, or how the entire book is written in present tense (which more writers should do) but I unfortunately do not a high enough word count to discuss these elements. Disgrace is simply an essential book to read.

The problem with post rock is that everyone who makes music in the genre is so stuck up their own arses that they decide to stick exclamation points in the middle of their names, write album titles that are so long even they abbreviate them and make twenty minute long songs without a single vocal line (there’s a few sampled voices throughout and a bit on the ﬁnal song but only in the opening minute or so). Skinny Fists is the second album by this Canadian band and is the genre’s prodigal child, an 88 minute long epic of an album that plays as the rock equivalent of The Lord of the Rings. There are four songs, yes four songs in 88 minutes. To listen to this album one can’t be browsing the Internet or doing housework, it is something that demands full attention at all times. So why? Why spend an hour and a half, listening to songs longer than Simpsons episodes that features nothing

more than your typical rock ensemble (robbed of vocals, chorus or harmony) playing? Well the answer comes once you reach your ﬁrst crescendo about eight or nine minutes in and your life has changed forever. The majority of the music on this album is structured as long somewhat ambient pieces that build and build for eight or nine minutes until they gloriously peak and then simmer down into the next piece. There is reason why this genre has become labeled ‘crescendo rock’ and it is because every new album in the genre are built from the ground up to be about making the best peaks possible as opposed to making the best songs possible. Godspeed may have caused this but they are not victims of it; you listen to the album because you want to listen to eighty minutes of fantastic music, not because you want to hear minute long spurts of good music surrounded by drudgery. Though it is possibly somewhat egregious to discuss the album in this manner, there are many parts of this album, most notably on Static, that are purely soundscapes. In the end, Skinny Fists is an ambitious, grandiose, intense and beautiful record that is the apex of its genre.

A manufacturer of a certain animal food packs it in bags containing 3 kilogrammes, 7 kilogrammes or 16 kilogrammes of the food. The most popular size is the 3kg. In fact, for ever y two bags of the 7kg size he sells on average five 3kg size bags. The 16kg size is the least popular, but he continues to produce it because of the demand from certain large-scale users. He makes 190kg of the food in one batch and packs it according to the known demand, none of the food being watered.

He first laid out one box of apples in a rectangle, to form the base of the stack. He then added more apples, layer by layer, from the contents of the other boxes. Each layer was a rectangle one apple shorter and narrower than the layer beneath it.

By applying self-control you will gain more respect. The portents are especially good for a creative project or love affair. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tr y to achieve the impossible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you know how much you hate to fail. With a clear sense of reality, timing and balance, nothing can stop you this week.

You will have plenty to say this week, but not all of it complimentar y. So although your opinion will be much in demand, you must be careful not to upset a friend or colleague whose feelings are less robust than your own.

TAURUS April 21 - May 20

You must go back and make good something that could jeopardise your long-term interests. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like you to take risks, but you do seem to have acted a bit too impulsive on this occasion. Do whatever has to be done to resolve it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and do it now! GEMINI May 21 - June 20

You may choose to believe that all is going swimmingly in a certain close relationship, but the fact is that there are major differences that need to be resolved. Be sure that what you hear, and say â&#x20AC;&#x201C; picking your words carefully â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the full, unexpurgated stor y. CANCER June 21 - July 22

Something you think up over the next few days will seem to be the answer to your prayers, but it may not be quite as promising as it appears. Therefore, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush into anything without doing your homework and asking a lot of questions beforehand. LEO July 23 - August 23

On Monday you can restart work on a project that has fallen by the wayside recently. Also, you may have to deal with something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been tr ying to ignore or may simply have overlooked. Either way, you must now confront it and resolve it. VIRGO August 24 - September 22

If you have something to say to a friend, colleague or loved one, tr y not to make trouble by saying more than you intend. This is not a time for wishful thinking, so be ver y clear about what you want, and realistic about what you can achieve. LIBRA September 23 - October 22

With ever ything working in your favour this week, you can scale any mountain that comes your way. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t risk neglecting or upsetting someone close for the sake of a personal goal. Be fair with them and they will be fair with you. SCORPIO October 23 - November 22

Anything is possible just now, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit back and wait for things to happen when you are in a strong position to orchestarte your destiny. Put your self-interests and long-term future first, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel guilty if you succeed where others fail. SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 21

You work hard and play hard, but if you work as part of a team you can get a great deal done over the next few days. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the mistake of tr ying to combine business and pleasure or you will come badly unstuck, especially around Thursday and Friday. CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19

Routines are reassuring but should be avoided this week if you want to get things done. You will need flair and imagination to deal with a challenging situation related to a creative project or love affair. By being tactful and positive you can save the day.

Album of the week CHVRCHES- The Bones of What You Believe CHVRCHES is a synthpop band from Glasgow who have recently released their latest LP, The Bones of What You Believe. The band are one that probably wouldn’t have existed before now, it is the sound of indie-

pop melded with electronia, the two dominant forms of music that can be found in the UK today. Though the instrument is not featured in the album at all you can hear the decades of British guitar music that went into this album. It does waver at some points but The Bones of What You Believe is a quality release by a band with boundless potential for the future.

Film of the week Prisoners Prisoners is a new film by director Denis Villeneuve and starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. It is a detective film about two families whose daughters go missing together during Thanksgiving, as the film progresses we see all four parents making actions that become more and more

immoral and depraved in order to track down their children. Gyllenhall plays a detective trying to ﬁnd the kidnappers. Though the concept could make for a decent B movie in the guise of Taken, instead the ﬁlm is played straight and realistic and becomes a much more engrossing experience

because of it. The detective isn’t some maverick Sherlock but just a regular man, even the parents begin to lose out sympathy as the ﬁlm progresses as they aren’t the stoic heroes that we would expect. Prisoners is a complex, engaging and surprising ﬁlm that shouldn’t be missed.

Business of the week Dial A Dog Wash For this week’s Business of the Week we have Dial A Dog Wash, a dog washing business based in Kilkenny. The thing that sets this business apart from most others, it’s special twist, is that it’s mobile. Facilitating

App of the week Angry Birds Star Wars II I’m sure everyone knows what Angry Birds is by this point, the small mobile game about throwing birds at pigs that to call a runaway success would be an understatement. The game has

been downloaded approximately two billion times across all platforms, one third of the worlds population. The game itself is an extremely enjoyable mobile game that provides hours of pure fun gameplay,

nothing more nothing less. The latest game in the series, Angry Birds Star Birds II, continues the trend and for 89 cents will provide you with a good few hours of fun times for less than a can of coke. Deﬁnitely recommended.

Game of the week Total War: Rome 2 Total War is a PC game series that allows the player to take control of true historical countries and factions within certain areas during time of war and engage in battle, trade and diplomacy while completing certain objectives in order to win the game. Campaigns can last hundreds of hours and see the map change and

alter dozens of time as factions are destroyed or rebuilt. Settings for these games have included feudal Japan, Ancient Rome and Europe in the Middle Ages. The latest game in the series, Total War: Rome 2, brings us back to the Roman setting for the ﬁrst time since 2004 and promises heaps of new content to get lost in.

KILKENNY REPORTER 2 10 2013

The Iceman The Iceman is a ﬁlm. The director of this ﬁlm is Ariel Vromen and it stars Micheal Shannon, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta and James Franco. It tells the story of Richard Kuklinski, also known as the iceman, a famous contract killer who claims to have killed between 100 and 250 people. Kuklinski actually

did exist and was in operation between 1948 and 1986; he certainly has an interesting story throughout his 38 years as a hitman (beginning when he was 13!) and provides a treasure of fodder for a good ﬁlm. The ﬁlm we receive is good, though not fantastic, still worth seeing.

Restaurant of the week The Lady Helen Restaurant The Michelin Star award is one of, if not the most prestigious award a restaurant has the ability to receive for culinary aptitude and this last week it was announced that two restaurants in Kilkenny had received the award! Campagne was one, and the other was The Lady Helen Restaurant located in Mount Juliet. Though certainly

not cheap, the restaurant’s quality is such that the price is entirely justiﬁed. The restaurant provides a variety of international dishes produced using completely local produce. It is the sort of restaurant that would suit an event of some description, and it will make this event a completely unforgettable experience.

Book of the week Stephen King- Doctor Sleep Thirty-six years after its original publication in January 1977, The Shining receives a sequel in the form of Doctor Sleep. The novel begins with Danny, a small boy in the Shining, now a middle-aged man working in a hospice

in a rural part of New Hampshire. The events of The Shining have been haunting Danny for decades but now he must try a save a twelve year old girl, in control of similar powers that he had in The Shining, from a murderous

tribe of quasiimmortals called The True Knot. Stephen King is currently having a minirenaissance at the moment after some time of lackluster work and Doctor Sleep continues this with gusto.

Track of the week FKA Twigs- Papi Pacify FKA Twigs is a new artist who makes synthy dark R&B music and is based in London. She has gained a lot of traction recently with her second EP: EP2. The song that most stood out from that effort was the single: Papi Pacify.

The song is dark, with deep, futurebeat rhythm and ethereal vocals; there is certainly a pronounced beauty in her music, especially in her vocals that lend the songs an airy quality. The song’s instrumentation contains a

Gig of the Week Voices of Kilkenny Tomorrow, the third of October, will see ‘The Voices of Kilkenny’ at The Set Theatre here in Kilkenny. The show is made to showcase local talent in the form of singer songwriters, musicians and

visual artists. The show will be presented by the Soulful Spirit Choir and is a great opportunity to discover what the local music and arts community has to show. Acts included in this show are:

J.P Ryan, Alize Comerford, Majella Murphy, Marble City String Quartet, Billy Kilkenny, Jason Paul Ryan & Pat Ryan. The show will start at 8PM and tickets will be €10, there will also be a raffle.

varied and surreal utility of instrumentation, with what sounds like organs playing at one point of the song. Coupled with its strange black and white video, the song feels carnal and eccentric; certainly a quality release.

Golf Notes – Callan O Dwyer Golf Store Singles and Fourball Visitors dominated the latest chapter of the O Dwyer Golf Stores Open Singles with some fantastic scoring. Robbie Ryan from Mountain View was the best scorer on the day with an expertly compiled 42 points with Kilkenny member Michael Comerford second with 40 points. Michael enjoyed a number of years of membership in Callan and has the playoff to look forward to this month when he will return along with Robbie to contest the season finale. Richie Guilfoyle from Kilkenny took the gross honours and will also be invited to the final. There are limited oppurtunities to qualify remaining so get involved to gain the few remaining spots. In the fourball this weekend Richard Needham and Mick Hickey were in great form and their total of 46 points won the day from Jimmy Hillman and Davy Morris who combined for a fine 43 point total.

Junior Cup Callan Ladies brave challenge came to an end in Mullingar on Thursday last when they were defeated by a top class Cork outﬁt. Midleton provided the opposition and proved too strong for the Kilkenny ladies but it has been a fantastic effort over the last few months

by Callan. Rita O Neill manged the team wonderfully throughout the campaign with the team doing the club proud with a fantastic run to the All Ireland quarter ﬁnals. Well done on such a brave effort and thanks for all the support from fellow members over the last few months. Hopefully next year a Callan side can build on the Junior Cup campaign this year.

October and Saturday 12th of October. This Classic is a vital fundraiser for this wonderful organisation who nurse the elderly in the most caring and respectful of manners.

prizes on offer including a ﬁrst prize of a weekend break in Kilcoran Lodge in Cahir for the winnning combination.
