Pet Feature

Summer Pet Care Advice 1. Never, ever leave your animal in a car. A parked car in hot, sweltering weather is killer. 2. If your dog pants quickly, looks very tired or collapses, it could be suffering from heat stroke. Put it in a cool, shady spot and spray its

body with cool water, or give it a cool bath immediately. 3. Leave them plenty of water and leave the water in the shaded area. Check their water bowl regularly to make sure there is plenty of fresh water.

4. Walk your dog in the early morning or late evening, when temperatures are lower. Not only are peak times uncomfortable for them, but the hot concrete can actually burn their sensitive paws. Never excert your dog during hot weather.

5. Keep your dog & cat groomed: This is always a good idea but particularly important during the hot weather. If your pet has long hair then that’s just like you wearing a fur coat in 90 degrees of heat! It’s not comfortable for you!

This ï¬&#x201A;ashback to a Graignamanagh Regatta of the late 1800s is a reminder that it is that time of year again. A host of family fun entertainment is planned for Graig on this Sunday when the picturesque River Barrow town is looking forward to playing host to a big inï¬&#x201A;ux of visitors who will be welcomed by the local community.

)LOP 0RRG ,QGLJR Michel Gondry is a filmmaker with nothing to prove in the field of abstract romance. In 2004, he collaborated with Charlie Kaufman to make Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - one of the most honest, emotional and inventive romances ever put to film. This set a high bar for the director’s return to the genre with his latest movie, Mood Indigo, but once again he has proven to possess a truly genuine understanding of the joy and pain that comes with love, as well as the personal sacrifice that comes with being part of a larger whole. Based on the novel by Boris Vian and filtered through the vision of a genuine auteur writer/director, Mood Indigo is set in a fantastical world – practically a live-action cartoon – where we meet Colin (Romain Duris), an affluent young man living in Paris with his lawyer/mentor/cook

$QG VR LW JRHV Movies tend to treat love like it’s a young person’s game. But with so many older actors who are charismatic and more than capable of delivering enthralling performances, latter-day love should be a topic more often explored in contemporary cinema. To its credit, Rob Reiner’s latest And So It Goes attempts to do just that. With a cast that’s fronted by Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton to boot! And yet the ﬁnal results are a rom-com that is insulting, unfunny, and far more offputting than romantic. Douglas stars as Oren Little, a misanthropic real estate agent who spews hateful comments onto the neighbors of his four-apartment building as he awaits the sale of his massive mansion so he can retire. The only neighbor who has any patience for him is Keaton’s Leah, a loungesinging widow whose grief over her husband’s death inspires her to weep openly more often than to ﬁnish a song. The two’s relationship blossoms when Oren’s son drops off the ten-year-old granddaughter he’s never met. She needs a home while her dad goes off to jail for a few months. So together, Oren

and Leah care for the lonely girl, and eventually see the good in each other. I’ll cut to the chase: this movie is a total mess. The relationship at the centre of it is between Douglas and Keaton’s characters. Yet the script by Mark Andrus spends an exorbitant amount of time on the subplot about Oren selling his house, despite the fact that it’s a deadly dull endeavor. The only jokes therein are blandly racist ones with Oren making crude assumptions about perspective buyers based on tired racial stereotypes. We get it: Oren is a bastard. But--the movie would have us believe--he

just needs love to change him. The structure is disjointed. The dialogue is atrocious. The comedy is lazy, including a hammy cameo by Reiner where he wears a purposefully putrid toupee and does a pratfall on a Slip ‘N Slide. Initially, seeing Douglas ﬂirt with a woman his own age felt so novel that it was genuinely thrilling. But with Oren always criticizing and Leah always crying, this movie lost all its fun fast. Seniors deserve romance movies that are rich and wonderful. It’s a shame that clunky and unfunny wreck that is And So It Goes is what they are getting instead..

Nicolas (Omar Sy). While Colin is happy and doesn’t have to earn a living due to his wealth, he is desperate to ﬁnd someone to share his life – motivated by the fact that his best friend, Chick (Gad Elmaleh), has fallen for Nicolas’ niece, Alise (Aissa Maiga). Colin’s search comes to a

quick end when he meets Chloe (Audrey Tautou) at a party, and the two fall madly in love. Unfortunately, even this bright and cartoony world isn’t free from the darker side of life, and Colin and Chloe suddenly ﬁnd themselves facing tremendous hardship and having their love challenged. Perhaps it comes as an advantage being French, but Michel Gondry is one of only a very small number of modern ﬁlmmakers who have the understanding, intelligence and talent to take an abstraction as strange, demented and beautiful as love, and portray it cinematically with real honesty and emotionality. While not on par with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Mood Indigo is an auteur’s work made in the artist’s strongest medium, and the result is a remarkable piece of art.

Restaurant of the week Royal Spice Kilkenny has always been a fantastic city for food and with the recent opening of Royal Spice, that pedigree is only growing. The Royal Spice is a restaurant dedicated to quality; and its diverse, authentic menu is bursting with new tastes to discover and old tastes to rediscover. Like all great

restaurants, the menu of Royal Spice is small but perfectly balanced to suit everyone’s needs and every dish is a meticulously crafted piece of art. The service is perfect and the restaurant is drenched in atmosphere; it is simply one of Kilkenny’s best locations for food.

Film of the week Earth to Echo Earth to Echo is a new coming of age film that is a huge surprise, much better than what was originally anticipated. From looking at trailers you might think the film wants to meld The Goonies and ET together with a dollop of the found footage technique to make it seem modern, but what quickly becomes apparent is that the film is so much more than this. The film is about a group of adoles-

cent friends who will soon be separated forever due to a freeway being built over their neighbourhood, all the people have been bought out of their houses so it’s only a matter of time. One day they find their phones sat nav pointing to a strange spot in the desert and decide for their last adventure they should travel there and find what it’s pointing to. It’s the perfect kind of film for kids in the age group and will bring nostalgia to those recalling their youths, I recommend it.

Book of the week Elizabeth is Missing Elizabeth is Missing is the newly released debut novel by English author Emma Healey and an absolutely absorbing read that I deﬁnitely recommend. The book is a mystery novel with the twist being that our main character is an

almost 90-year-old woman suffering from either Alzheimer’s or just severe senility, she ﬁnds a compact mirror in her friends garden that she remembered from seventy years ago, from here we have to ask ourselves two

questions: What happened to Maud’s friend Elizabeth who is missing, and what happened with the mirror that she can’t remember? The novel is often tragic but an ultimately amazing debut that I recommend.

Song of the week Girl Band- Lawman Girl Band are a new Dublin band who make rock music heavily inﬂuenced by late 70s and early 80s New York no-wave and noise rock styles. Their biggest single at the moment came

TV of the week Fargo Fargo has just wrapped up its ﬁrst (possibly only since it’s a miniseries) season and with it, established itself as one of the best series currently on TV and a worthy successor to the 1996 movie. The show’s main characters are Martin Freeman’s Lester Nygaard and Allison Tolman’s Molly Solverson and their time in Bemidji during a massive murder spike that Nygaard is a

part of and Solverson is investigating; though the real star of the show is Billie Bob Thornton’s Lorne Malvo, some sort of prankster god that sweeps in and causes chaos wherever he travels. The show is full of surrealism and zaniness in grand Coen brothers tradition but is deﬁnitively its own creature and can stand on its own two feet.

out in January and sold out on vinyl fast, but you can still get a free download of it from their bandcamp page. Girl Band are deﬁnitely one of the most interesting bands to come out of Ireland in

recent years and are actually good to boot; even if you don’t like it you have to appreciate that they’re doing something different from the norm here. Girl Band is also, not actually a girl band.

Lifestyle & Living Dark Souls II Dark Souls II is the sequel to 2011’s incredible Dark Souls and is a triumph of a sequel, even though in terms of innovation it is somewhat lacking. Dark Souls was an open world game without much of a story, you wondered through the world, killing monsters, fighting bosses; simply living from campfire to campfire, what made the game special was its unrelenting difficulty.

The game was extremely difﬁcult and required ﬁnesse and concentration to succeed, the consequences to death were great but the game was built so it was almost never cheap and each death was a learning experience. The game is thick with atmosphere and the design of the world is the best I have ever seen. Dark Souls II is a draining but transcendent and beautiful experience, I highly recommend it.

App of the week Dots: A Game about Connecting Not a new app by any means but the game that is Dots, available for android and apple, is such an insatiably addictive game that it deserves a spot, and it’s free. The game gives you sixty seconds to connect as many dots as possible, once you con-

nect dots they disappear and more descend onto the screen, the objective is to connect as many dots as possible. It seems the only prerequisite for a phone game to be a success is that it be addictive and something you can pick up and drop at any time and Dots is both

of those, but the game is little else other than addictive. Half of the trick of doing well in dots is luck, for any colour can drop from the sky and if you aren’t lucky you won’t be scoring any large combinations. So the game is fun but that’s it, worth a try.

DVD of the week the sanitized (Son of God) and the completely crazy and offensive (Passion of the Christ) but Noah seems to be calling back to the old style slightly. The ﬁlm seemingly attempts to mesh together the big bang, god creating the earth, evolution, Adam & Eve, and Noah into some epic of a movie that believes in both. Noah is a strange but exciting and epic disaster movie and I recommend trying it.

Noah Movies telling the stories of The Bible used to be very common in Hollywood, not because they were more religious then but because adapting stories from The Bible gave them much greater leeway with extremely repressive censors for sex and violence. Nowadays, movies centring on religion are made in two ways:

GIG of the week Hans Chew Hans Chew are an American band from New York that play Americana style folky rock music, in many ways reminiscent of The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St. and Bruce Springsteen but with a greater importance being placed on instrumentals and a strong

Album of the Week CunninLynguists – Strange Journey Part 3 CunninLynguists are one of the most consistent hip-hop groups around and have been releasing both fun and provocative material regularly since 2001, their music can be said to be rooted in the traditions of Southern hip-hop (dance inﬂuenced beats, straightforward lyrics, and a

general more pop oriented approach) and the sound is very relaxed and fun. The emcees are great as always but the best part of CunninLynguists is still the amazing production, from the ﬁrst listen this album is fantastic to listen to and it’s perfect for summer.

sense of experimentalism, they have just released his second album, a great piece of music that may even surpass their excellent debut, they will be playing at Cleeres on the ﬁrst of August, the gig will start at 21:30 and cost €15, I recommend it.

Mesmerising, insightful, determined, resourceful and focused Scorpio Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto, your best day of the week is Tuesday and your colours deep, deep red and black. Saturn is moving through your sign until late 2014. View this as a long period of self-investment. Unusual developments are likely. You could be involved in complex dealings - or asked to give a close partner advice about their career. Domestic change may be in the air too - possibly including plans for guests or travel at the weekend. Ideas could come at you from all directions. Several short journeys or frequent contact with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mission controlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; may be necessary. You may find yourself in the company of someone who has â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wacky ideasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; who is forcing you to think differently and to see an opportunity thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been under your nose. Quirky, determined, logical, eccentric and freedom-loving Aquarius. Your ruling planets are Saturn and Uranus. Your best day of the week is Saturday and your best colours are electric or deep, rich blue and anything metallic. Saturn is passing through another of the Fixed signs, Scorpio until late 2014. Intuitive, sensitive, big-picture thinking, kind and thoughtful Pisces. Your ruling planets are Jupiter and Neptune. Your best day of the week is Thursday and your best colours are those of the sea: blue, green, lavender and silver. Slow moving Neptune is in your sign through to 2024.

*ROI 1RWHV Callan South Leinster Callan faced Courtown in a tricky away tie in the South Leinster Trophy on Sunday last. The side, managed by Niall Brett, needed a fast start at home and in Tom Kenny and Denis Collins they got that start. Both men won their games comfortably and Ger Brett lost narrowly after a fine effort leaving the match delicately poised with all to play for at the Wexford venue. Limerick native Jim Kirby matched his home county s efforts by beating a Wexford opponent comfortably meaning if one of his team mates could do likewise Callan would progress and after a titanic struggle Ivan Browne, who was one down playing 18,took his match on the 19th Callan had done it. Tony O Driscoll and Denis Lawlor were called in before their matches reached a conclusion. Callan have now qualified for finals weekend on the 13th and 14th of September in the hostclub, Carlow. Well done to Niall and his team for this fabulous achievement in reaching the semi finals. This team along with the Duggan Cup have been the standard bearers for the Callan inter club teams this year and deserve the height of praise.

Monthly Medal Julys Monthly Medal went to Paul Cunningham in a tightly contested medal. A large ﬁeld contested the July edition in which Paul played a really consistently to pip Keith O Dwyer into second place after a count back following a pair of 67s.

Don Bolger kept the numbers right in the club shop in the morning before keeping his own numbers right on the course in the afternoon to claim ﬁrst place in this qualiﬁer. Dons 42 point total was one better than Jimmy Dunne who will also return for the seasonal climax of the competition in autumn. the pair will also be joined by the gross winner, Martin O Halloran, and the leading visitor who was Robert Moore.

The competition has continued to attract large numbers with over 60 players regularly with the course receiving lots and lots of wonderful compliments from visitors and members alike. The cost of 6e for members and just 12.50e for visitors is fantastic value. There are a number of weeks left to qualify and with a brilliant array of prizes up for grabs its well worth getting to the ﬁnale.
