DAVID WALSH TALK Slieverue native and internationally acclaimed journalist and author, David Walsh, will be speaking at a public event in Kilkennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ormonde Hotel on Friday February 20th at 5.30pm. The multiaward winning writer will address an audience on the topic of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How Abuse of Drugs is Destroying Sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

also extended to medics and healthcare professionals, entire cycling teams and even the journalistic world that reported on the sport.

Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thirteen year pursuit of Lance Armstrong and his unwavering conviction that the hero of cycling was not all he seemed, is a story that most of us have heard and admired.

Getting a first-hand account of the experience that ultimately led to Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award as British Journalist of the Year and Sports Journalist of the Year in 2012 is a rare opportunity. His current investigation into the role of drugs across a range of sports will surely be even more intriguing.

There will be a Q & A session after his presentation.

Taking on one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest sporting heroes was not the most popular stance to have. Walshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bravery and conviction is all the more admirable given that fact that Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doping fraud

The event kicks off Aut Even Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Expert Voicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; series which is part of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centenary celebrations.

Admission is free but spaces are limited.

All are welcome.

Super Slimming Weight Loss Tea Causes a Stir!

Yes, it’s really true folks.... an ancient Chinese Lotus Leaf tea or Yo Chi Tea as it is known, is becoming a global sensation! You see, this is simply no ordinary tea; far from it in fact, this is an amazing revolutionary tea blend which, because of its ancient Chinese herbal properties, is helping people everywhere to shed excess weight quickly, naturally and safely, simply by drinking two cups of it every day. Weight loss and detox could not be any easier than this, ever!

Already, everyone wants to get their hands on this natural miracle worker and let’s face it why wouldn’t they?

Already, J-Lo is singing its praises (sorry, we couldn’t resist that little pun!), blissfully sipping it till her heart’s content as she marvels at its ben-

efits in terms of weight loss.

Oprah too is a firm believer in it so if it is good enough for two of the world’s biggest showbiz celebs, we are pretty sure it is more than just a little bit good! The good news? Yo Chi is available in Ireland, exclusive to Therapie Clinic.

Clinics have reported waiting list around the country as Therapie have been struggling to meet the demand for tea both in store and online with many customers eager to aid new year weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its arrival at Therapie Clinic, Manager Sarah Cagney said: “The response to Yo Chi Tea so far has been fantastic, it’s flying off the shelves! The great thing about Yo Chi Tea is it’s 100% natural, and has been proven to be effective in

aiding weight loss and detox in a easy, safe way” The blend contains Lotus Leaf, Oolong green tea and number of other ancient Chinese herbs, all of which have been specially selected because of their proven natural ability to purify and cleanse the body, and to essentially act as a nuisance in stopping the body from storing up food as excess weight, and burn excess fat which is stored in the body!

Drinking Yo Chi weight loss tea can help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including Barronstrand Street in Waterford.

Simply call them direct on 1890 650 750 to order or find out more on www.yochitea.com.

“If the car is low on power, isn’t responding the way it should or there is excessive smoke, then it could point to a a turbo failure.”

There are all sorts of reasons that can cause a turbo to go, but generally it’s down to poor maintenance, the wrong oil being used and the build up of carbon content in the engine.

“Obviously, a turbo has a natural life span and not everybody is guilty of poor maintenance but we find here that about 80% would be down to neglect.”

“Manufacturers have opted for smaller sized engines forgoing normally aspirated engines for turbo pressure to give extra performance to the car.”

“Basically, what happens with a diesel engine if it’s not looked after is that it builds up with carbon. Carbon inside an engine is like cancer inside a person.

“If you fit a turbo to a normal car with 90 horsepower you will increase the horsepower to 130-140. It gets a lot more power out of a small engine.

“Excessive smoke from the exhaust is probably the first thing you will notice, but by that stage it could well be too late,” says Richie.

Starting out 15 years ago as specialists in high performance petrol turbos, Car Clinic’s main core of business now lies in diesel turbos.

“There have been more and more issues with diesel turbos in recent years,” says Richie.

“We take the old unit as an exchange for a working unit and we are probably the most competitively priced supplier of reconditioned turbos in the whole country.”

There’s a new car service website that has just been launched! While other sites arrive online offering “more of the same”, we are happy to confirm that Team AutoCentre comes fully operational with simple informative features and boasts an impressive nationwide network of Garages, Fast Fits, Car Valets & Crash Repair Centres.

Car Service

Valet Perhaps you’re looking to get your car valeted? Team AutoCentre has that base covered too! The comprehensive Valet directory will make sure you find a centre in your locality to get your car cleaned and back to looking its best! Offering three different levels of valet service, gold, silver and bronze, this section also has some great valet specific information and special offers.

The Car Service section on the site offers interim to full service options with the added benefit of allowing motorists who do not want a service to submit their own request to the centre for specific work they would like done. Easy to use drop down menus offer a range of special offers and clear explanations of service items - helping the motorist to recognise for example – when and why they need to change a filter, brake pads etc -

Crash Repairs

NCT

User experience and navigational ease are at the heart of the Team AutoCentre journey. The service directories make it easier than ever for motorists to request a quote and the websites responsive booking system makes seamless communication between Team AutoCentre and the car owner. The selected centre will carry out the agreed work and if any additional items arise, they will contact the car owner immediately, explain and only proceed if the customer is happy to do so. The motorist has full control at all times so they don’t have to worry about getting a “shock bill” when they go back to collect the car.

Not just for service bookings, the Team AutoCentre website is also home to a wide array of educational motoring information. The “Guide to Parts” section goes into great detail on various car parts and accessories and uses non-

Within the NCT section Team AutoCentre outlines the common reasons for NCT failures and gives users the option to book a pre NCT check-up for giving your vehicle the best possible chance of passing first time. In the unfortunate circumstance that your vehicle has failed its NCT and needs some work done to ensure it passes the next time round, we recommend you use the super handy NCT uploader. This nifty tool will send a scanned copy of your failed NCT certificate to a centre of your choice allowing them to see exactly where your car failed and get back to you with a quote to rectify the faults. The other option is to tick the items on the drop down form which shows the most common faults for failing – or –just email Team AutoCentre detailing whatever you want done.

Need Roadside Assistance or recovery services? Team AutoCentre’s crash repairs specialists have the skill and expertise from years of hands-on experience to tackle work from the heaviest of crashes to the smallest dents and scratches.

The Website Journey

technical language to give the motorist a better understand of their cars. Simple picture guides show common wear and tear issues that can happen with different car parts and demonstrates when, and more importantly why, work is likely to be required. Elsewhere the regularly updated motoring tips blog offers all sorts of helpful hints whilst the news sections keeps website visitors informed with insights and developments from within the automotive industry.

Save 10% Vat As well as saving time and hassle by using the website’s convenient online booking system, Team AutoCentre also offers substantial savings to motorists. Only charging 13.5% VAT when supplying and fitting parts Team AutoCentre offers better value than its competitors.

When you purchase parts from the main dealer, car parts shop or online you pay 23% VAT. Let Team AutoCentre supply and fit the parts and you save yourself 10% VAT. That’s extra money in your pocket.

Car Warranty Protected Service your car with Team AutoCentre safe in the knowledge that your warranty is 100% protected. Many people mistakenly believe that you must keep your car fitted with manufacturer branded parts to maintain your car warranty. Under the EU Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation 461/2010 legislation, car manufacturers are no longer able to make the warranty conditional on using Original Equipment parts.

In all Team AutoCentre offers motorists a one stop shop where they can get real value for money and learn an awful lot at the same time!

App of the week Gunbrick (€1.99 Android, €2.29 iOS) In this dystopian world, when someone says they’re going to gun their vehicle’s engine, you’d best run for it. What looks like a platform game still requires a little arcade smarts, but really Gunbrick is more akin to an obstacle course combined with ongoing and rapidly evolving logic tests.

As you come up against walls

you can obliterate, your gun must be facing the right way.

Then there are lasers that only your shield can protect you from, switches that flip your Gunbrick, sticky walls, and more besides. At the end of each of the three sets of levels, you must defeat brutal bosses — easier said than done.

Album of the week Wanted on Voyage, by George Ezra (approx €9.99) Debut studio album by the English singer/songwriter. Playing guitar, bass and keyboards, Ezra delivers structurally simple songs with enormous gusto, suggesting an uncynical, joyous release in the very act of making music.

Producer Cameron Blackwood was once a member of the touring line up of Alabama 3 and has clearly

learnt a few tricks about updating old grooves. From the giddy skiffle of Cassy O’ to the sweet strum of Barcelona and rocky grit of Did You Hear the Rain?, Ezra’s debut has charm to spare. Ezra’s fluid vocals shift up the register to a trembling falsetto, adding a very contemporary sensitivity to his musical portfolio.

Service of the Week

Ard Na Ri Meats Ard Na Ri Meats - working alongside the Knackery sector - provides the farming community with a unique service – humane, on-farm slaughter of injured animals fit for human consumption. The Co. Meath-based company has been providing emergency on-farm slaughter services to farmers and landowners nationwide for a number of years and has iden-

tified a real need for their services here in the Waterford and Kilkenny areas. Emergency Animal Slaughter is a service that is available for acute injuries that occur on the farm. The nature of the injury dictates that if moved, the animal will suffer further pain. For more information tel: 087 2638122 or visit their website: www. ardnarimeatsltd.ie

DVD of the Week Boyhood (approx €12.99) Groundbreaking, award-winning drama directed by Richard Linklater and starring Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke. Filmed over a period of 12 years with the same cast members, the film begins as Olivia (Arquette) moves to Houston, Texas, with her son Mason (Ellar Coltrane) and daughter Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) after the disintegration of her marriage to

the children’s father (Hawke). From then on we follow Mason as he progresses from a child to a young man while dealing with his parents’ divorce and the numerous other difficulties of growing up. The film won Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture (Arquette).

Console Game of the week Evolve (Xbox One) (€74.99)

Gadget of the Week Transformers Autobot Light (approx €19.95) This is the very striking and I have to say very cool Autobot Light. Fresh from the latest instalment of the franchise this is a must for all autobot fans and movie buffs alike.

The light is extremely cool and even though it is made with plastic it comes with a sleek distressed metal finish. It has

non-slip feet so that it doesn’t slide around so making it perfect for a desk or bedside table.

The Autobot Logo is for the good side and not for those bad Decepticons! The light is USB powered so can be plugged in to a USB adapter plug or into a computer with USB ports available.

is key. There are four different classes (Trapper, Support, Assault and Medic) and putting together the right group to combine those different skill sets is crucial if you want to succeed. While Evolve is certainly a multiplayer game at heart, there is the option to play solo if your friends are busy and you don’t fancy playing with strangers.

DEE E KAVANAGH

The game pits four players against one monster. While you’re teaming up against the monster, you’ll be playing the game from a firstperson perspective. The real twist, however, is that you can also play as the monster itself, taking things into a third-person mode and massively changing the way you play. As a hunter, teamwork

METHOD Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets an airing. Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Then begin whisking the eggs

- any sort of whisk or even a fork will do incorporating any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl as you do so.

Next gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, still whisking (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about any lumps as they will eventually disappear as you whisk). When all the liquid has been added, use a rubber spatula to scrape any elusive bits of flour from around the edge into the centre, then whisk once more until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream. Now melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a pan. Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it to lubricate the pan, using a wodge of kitchen paper to smear it round before you make each pancake. Now get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium and, to start with, do a test pancake to see if

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using the correct amount of batter.

I find 2 tbsp is about right for an 18cm/7in pan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also helpful if you spoon the batter into a ladle so it can be poured into the hot pan in one go. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter.

It should take only half a minute or so to cook; you can lift the edge with a palette knife to see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tinged gold as it should be. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife - the other side will need a few seconds only - then simply slide it out of the pan onto a plate.

Stack the pancakes as you make them between sheets of greaseproof paper on a plate fitted over simmering water, to keep them warm while you make the rest.

Sprinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar.

CROSSWORDS The first letter of each answer is written next to its clue in alphabetical order.

Can you find the words then fit them correctly into the grid?

The key feature this week is Mercury’s retrograde station on Wednesday. Note that when this planet reaches this particular stage of its ‘pirouette’, the potential for misunderstandings increase (though these can often be sorted out within days if they need to be).

Mercury’s station midweek coincides with the Last Quarter Moon in your opposite sign. This is likely to mark a significant moment in a working relationship.

It may be that a deal that’s hovered around for over a year is finally signed off.

Mercury stations midweek: coinciding with the Last Quarter Moon. This, together with other factors suggests that the middle of the week will be of some significance. You may feel that your wits are being tested. You might also find that you need to be cloned!

The middle of this week could find you in more highly-strung state than usual.

You might really need a team to be back and focused on a project that for the last couple of weeks has been tricky to handle. The good news is that with Mercury no longer retrograde, it shouldn’t take long to put things right.

Unsettling as things may have been since the start of the year, the waves of change are likely to continue for some weeks yet. Though Mercury stations in your opposite sign midweek, it could be some days after that before there’s clarity. For now, it would be wise to anticipate chopping and changing.

Mercury stations midweek. If, over the last couple of weeks, you’ve felt progress was less than swift, it might then be possible to move slowly forward. It’s probably not the case that the last few weeks have been all ‘bad’. Indeed, it’s quite likely that you’ve made good connections.

For the last few weeks Mercury has been moving through the ‘research and development’ area of your solar chart. As it stations midweek, ideas that have been incubating can at last take real form. You might still need to persuade someone that your plans are sound.

Midweek Mercury stations in another of the Fixed signs. Discussions that have been taking place since late January could then reach a point where priorities are listed and a constructive plan agreed. That said, it might be as well not to under-estimate the degree of mis-information in the air.

Unsettling as things may have been since the start of the year, the waves of change are likely to continue for some weeks yet. Though Mercury stations in your opposite sign midweek, it could be some days after that before there’s clarity.

It’s likely been the case that since the end of January there have been plenty of ideas flying around but little by way of application. All that should change after Mercury stations midweek. Though at some level you may have experienced frustration.

It might not seem to you that you’re changing your mind or direction, but that’s the way it could appear to others midweek. It might help to think of yourself as a magnetic force whose polarity alters midweek. At this stage you could then repel some whilst attracting others.

Imagine a dancer mid-pirouette: that point where you know they’re turning but it’s so much of a blur that you think they’re stood still. Most of the audience will be mesmerised by the stunt. Though you know it’s an illusion you can’t help but watch and be amazed.
