Two great venues close to my heart Arts Talk Julie Dowling DRIVING home in my car tonight listening to Radio One, I got a big surprise...an advertisement for Waterford’s Culture Night. It was great to hear it on the national airways and it endorsed the fact that there is so much to see and do in our city, not only on Friday September 19 but all the time. I hope that you were encouraged to visit some of the great events that were open to the public on this special night. I would really appreciate any reactions to the events, so don’t be shy, my email is at the end of this piece. Today I will give you an insight into two establishments that are close to my heart. The Waterford Healing Arts Trust and the Garter Lane Studios and Gallery. The Waterford Healing Arts Trust (WHAT) was established in The Waterford University Hospital in 1990. Its main aim is to reduce anxiety and stress for patients, staff and visitors by integrating art into the hospital environment. It is housed in a beautiful state of the art building within the hospital grounds. There is an art cart that

is available to patients, allowing them to try out their artistic skills, which is a great way to ease the worry and tension that builds up during a stay in hospital. This is particularly evident in the dialysis unit where many patients have availed of art, creative writing and poetry workshops, which are given by the staff of WHAT. Each week there is a two-hour visual art workshop as well as music workshops that often culminate in public performances. This brings me to the Well Festival which is a collaboration between Garter Lane and WHAT and runs from October 6 to 11 and incorporates World Mental Health day. An exhibition of the

There is so much to see and do in our city, not only on Friday September 19 but all the time

work created by the participants of WHAT’S open studio workshop entitled The Feel Good Factory opens in the Garter Lane Arts Centre from October 9 to November 1. This is a beautiful, colourful experience and, as always I urge you, go and have a look. For more information about the Well Festival see garterlane.ie Also at Garter Lane there is an exhibition running at the moment called ‘Thirty’ which I mentioned last week. This features artists and friends who have exhibited and worked there in the last thirty years. Another exhibition that opened on Culture Night is 28, created by Martin Fahy. Martin has been running the Southpaw Studios in Lombard Street for a couple of years. His work is interesting and full of colour. He is a graphic designer by trade therefore his work has a slightly different slant than other more traditional artists. Martin will be in the gallery from time to time and will enjoy telling you about his work and processes. That is about all for this week, as always please comment and send me information on forthcoming events to nannygoatart9@gmail.

Due to popular demand this miracle tea arrived in Ireland this summer, exclusive to Therapie Clinics nationwide. ChĂĄ Yi Tea instantly became the fastest selling weight loss tea in the world, and the response has been no different across Ireland. 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 customer eager to boost their weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its unprecedented success, Therapie Clinic MD Phillip McGlade said: “The response to ChĂĄ Yi Tea has been fantastic, it’s ying off the shelves at Therapie Clinic locations nationwide and we are

struggling to keep up with its demand. The great thing about ChĂĄ Yi Tea is it’s 100% natural, certiďŹ ed approved and has proven to be effective in losing weight in a short time frame and more importantly in a safe way.â€? It’s no wonder we’re mad about this tea, according to reports it’s been tried and tested by many health conscious celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Sophia Dahl and Victoria Beckham. ChĂĄ Yi Tea has a ‘certiďŹ cate of approval for health food made in China’, stating that the ChĂĄ Yi Tea brand of slimming teas has a proven weight loss effect. It has a number of other beneďŹ ts, apparently; from boosting the metabolic rate and increasing energy levels, to supporting internal organs as you lose weight. The ChĂĄ Yi Tea system is simple; just drink two cups a day. Its premium ingredients are high in natural anti-oxidants

– if you’re already trying to lose weight, drinking ChĂĄ Yi Tea can help you increase your weight loss by as much as 50%. ChĂĄ Yi Tea is far from your average brew- it’s full of specially selected herbal ingredients to facilitate what scientists call ‘fat oxidation’ - burning the body’s fat reserves as fuel. ChĂĄ Yi Tea helps your body to get rid of the fat rather than store it, while reducing your body’s ability to absorb fat from your food at the same time. Coupled with a sensible diet and light exercise, ChĂĄ Yi Tea targets the fat stored in your body, doubling the results than you would get from diet and exercise alone. The ingredients hold all of the answers. In addition to premium oolong tea, it includes a blend of traditional herbs and plants to help purify the body’s cells and support the essential organs through the digestive

process. Among the 100% natural ingredients you’ll ďŹ nd lotus leaf to optimise digestion and Cassia seeds to support the internal organs. One of the key ingredients is Gynostemma Pentaphyllum (also known as Jiaogulan). It has powerful anti-oxidant properties; helps to regulate the digestive

system and helps to cleanse the body, leaving you with brighter eyes and skin. Wow, who knew we could be so right in our national love of a good cup of tea. Chå Yi is available from Therapie Clinic Waterford – call 051 870 910 or visit www.therapieclinic.com

Hasbro still on a winner with Monopoly game IT usually deals in toy money but the Waterford company behind the board game Monopoly has made some real cash for its US owner. Hasbro recorded a rise in sales last year of more than 17 per cent to â‚Ź19.7 million. It also recorded D SHU FHQW ULVH LQ SURÂżWV WR MXVW over â‚Ź1 million. The company is still sitting on accumulated losses, however, of more than â‚Ź9 million. Hasbro, which has been based in the city since 1977, employed an average of about 260 staff over the year, according to its recentlyÂżOHG ÂżQDQFLDO VWDWHPHQWV Hasbro Ireland manufactures games primarily for the European market. It produces Hasbroowned brands and also engages in contract-manufacturing for third parties across a range of industries. It produces games including Monopoly, Cluedo, Risk, and the Game of Life. It manufactures the boards

for the popular games, and also has an injection moulding facility which it uses to make the Monopoly houses and hotels. Monopoly is one of the world’s most popular board games. Its history can be traced back to the early 20th century. The earliest known version of Monopoly, known as The Landlord’s Game, was designed by an American, Elizabeth 0DJLH DQG ¿UVW SDWHQWHG LQ but existed as early as 1902. A series of board games were developed from 1906 through the 1930s that involved the buying and selling of land and the development of that land. By 1933, a board game had been created much like the version of Monopoly sold by Parker Brothers and its related companies through the rest of the 20th century, and into the 21st. Several people, mostly in the Midwestern United States and near the East Coast, contributed to the game’s design and evolution.

$ 1(: (5$ ,1 7227+&$5( $55,9(6 ,1 ,5(/$1' World-leading dental treatment at incredibly low prices! A dramatically new dental practice has been launched that provides some of the world’s most advanced aesthetic and cosmetic dental treatments. And you don’t have to travel to central or southern Europe for its huge benefits. It’s now available in the state-of-thedental-art Carlow Dental Centre in Graiguecullen. The Centre has been established by two of the best dentists in Hungary – itself acknowledged as a worldleading country in that field. Between them, Dr. William Hayfron and Dr. Krisztian Sallai have two decades of highly successful experience treating patients from around the world. Having responded to the need from Irish patients, Doctors Hayfron and Sallai had opened a practice in Ireland. In doing so, they will enable people with dental problems to achieve major savings while relieving them of the stress and time-consumption of travelling abroad.

Making your smile wider than your wallet The clinic claims three major qualities: Cost, Confidence and Convenience. Cost meaning low prices. Confidence that comes from being treated by highly qualified dental practitioners experienced in crowns, bridges... and in restoring smiles which adds so much to one’s self-confidence. Convenience is in the surgery’s accessible location and its opening hours at weekends. Then there’s the speed of service delivery. Even the most complex dental restoration can be achieved within two weeks (subject to no inflammation or the absolute need for extractions). Not least, there’s a dedication to minimising discomfort and pain. Indeed, the majority of today’s patients say they feel hardly any pain during and after their treatment. Equally satisfying is the minimum pain to the bank balance.

Local woman Ellen Doolan joined Slimming World in January 2013 after a 12 year battle with her weight. Ellen had yo-yoed with her weight after trying every other slimming club, diet pill, potion and milkshake in those years. In 2009 Ellen resorted to a gastric balloon procedure which saw a saline filled balloon inserted into her stomach for 6 months, says Ellen “It was the worst 6 months of my life, I was ill and nauseous and could only stomach minute portions of food” after successfully losing over 3 stone after the expensive procedure Ellen was devastated to see the weight creep back up. “I was in pieces as the numbers on the scales rose again, nothing had changed, my appetite was a big as it ever as was my love of food”. In January 2013 after she walked in the door of her local Slimming World held in Treacy’s hotel, The Quay, Ellen couldn’t believe how much food she would be allowed eat alongside the promise of long lasting weight loss. Rice, pasta, potatoes, lean meat, fish, eggs, fruit and vegetables all in unlimited quantities to satisfy even the biggest appetite, “I just couldn’t believe I could eat all this delicious food made to slimming world recipes and still lose weight” But lose weight she did and as she opened her own group in Woodlands Hotel in April this year after training to become a consultant Ellen had lost a total of 2stone 8pounds. “I have successfully maintained this weight loss during what has been the busiest time of my life but eventually I would love to reach my long-term personal target loss of 4 stone” As her own Slimming World group

19

grew there were changes occurring in the group in Treacy’s that Ellen attended as a member, “My own consultant who had supported me 100% along the way decided on a different career path and a relief consultant was needed for the group. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to cover the group until a new consultant was instated” However as the months went on Ellen grew increasingly attached to the club and members and decided to invest in the business herself and become the permanent consultant. Says Ellen “ It really is an amazing group with so many wonderful members and it will always be the club that started me on this fabulous journey which has completely changed my life, Slimming World has a motto ‘touching hearts and changing lives’ and that certainly rings true, it is my honour and privilege to relaunch the group as my own on Thursday 2nd October and if anyone would like to meet me personally and find out more I will be in Supervalu Morgan Street on Friday from noon and Georges Court Shopping Centre on Saturday from noon.” Slimming World City Centre is held every Thursday at Treacys Hotel, The Quay, Waterford at 9.30am, 3.30pm, 5.30pm and 7.30pm.

With workshops available in Art, Creative Writing, Drama, Dance, Film and more, there is something for every member of the family (ages 3-19). Bursaries, subsidies and sibling discounts are available. Cathy Hanrahan of Waterford Youth Arts explains, “Access to the arts should be a right for all young people and not a privilege. We have quality artists and practitioners working with us with the help of the Arts Council and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. Because of this, we are able to offer a variety of arts programmes at a reduced cost”.

be. The sampler workshops are being offered at a subsidised rate of €45.00 for the full term so they are great value for parents.

The team are especially excited to be launching two new programmes this week: stArt, a new Arts Sampler programme for kids (9-12 years) , and a Teen Art class which will run on Mondays.

Waterford Youth Arts is one of the largest and longest established youth arts organisations in Ireland. Based in the Arch in Barrack Street, their doors are open to all. As a regional arts resource, they provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for young people to participate in creative activity. Through workshops, classes, small performances and larger productions, young people can find a space to develop their talents and make new friends. The organisation also offers a full suite of services at a local and regional level for individuals, schools and community groups and can design and run tailor made programmes where required. For further information please contact 051-879377 or visit www. waterfordyoutharts.com

So whether you want to tread the boards, tap your feet, try your hand at creative writing or make some music, Waterford Youth Arts is the place to

Teen Art will run on Mondays and will offer expert artistic tuition for young people (13-16 years). This class aims to involve students in art in the community, giving them the opportunity to experience diverse art forms such as urban art, textiles, fine art drawing, and sculpture. Students will experience art forms they may not have had previous exposure to. They will visit exhibitions, meet visiting artists and learn more about art appreciation in addition to holding their own exhibition. Whether you want to look at art as a career or a creative outlet, these classes have something to offer young people of all abilities. Classes will also serve as a progression for kids who have formerly participated in WYA Saturday Art Clubs.

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 ‘mission control’ may be necessary. You may find yourself in the company of someone who has ‘wacky ideas’ who is forcing you to think differently and to see an opportunity that’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. Though you might start the week feeling over-whelmed or out of sorts, soon after Tuesday’s Equinox a surge of energy should affect you as much as it does others. This is followed by a New Moon (Wednesday) and a major aspect between Jupiter (one of your ruling planets) and Uranus on Thursday.

Event of the week The Waiting Room by Shane Craddock (Watergate Theatre, Fri-Sat 8pm, €13 & €16. Booking 056 7761674) The Waiting Room is the second play by Kilkenny-born Shane Craddock, whose previous play, In Two Minds, won an award with The Irish Playwrights and Screenwriters Guild. The new play, touring after a successful run at Dublin’s Civic Theatre, centres on Mick, an Irish 30-something living in Dublin. An unexpected occurrence throws Mick into an intrigu-

ing series of events, where everything is not as it seems and starts to challenge the way he looks at life. It’s fun, it’s escapism and is, as they say, a bit out there... Craddock says he’d love people to leave the theatre having had a great laugh and feeling that they got a great night’s entertainment. “And maybe, just maybe, they’ll have a little spring in their step...”

TV of the week Strictly Come Dancing, BBC 1, Friday 9pm With The X Factor well up and running and Strictly back on its feet, can Christmas be far behind? This season’s return of the ratings monster has a host of celebs and wannabes struttin’ their stuff for the coveted title. There’s Pixie Lott, Caroline Flack and Andy Murray’s mum for starters but for this writer the show just won’t be the same without Brucie who, now well in his 80s – what an inspira-

tion for all of us – decided to hang up his dancing shoes last season. It would be nice to see him, to see him nice... especially to cheer us up no end on these encroaching dark evenings. Replacing the inimitable Brucie is Claudia Winkleman who will joined by Tess Daly. Meantime The X Factor is turning up the heat on an exceptionally talented bunch of wannabes with stars in their eyes..

Album of the week Leonard Cohen – Popular Problems (Columbia) Listening to Leonard Cohen can sometimes seem like watching paint dry, though the final gloss and brilliance of the performance is always worth the wait. He once said, “Slow is in my blood”, which says it all and goes some way to explaining his longevity, with little or no ailments to show, and his enduring appeal. To coincide with his 80th birthday last weekend comes this outing in which he seems to have quickened the pace, or delivery at any rate. He also gets more prolific as he ages. It is only two years since his last release and he says he and co-writer Patrick Leonard already have half of the next opus in the bag. Wonderful news because the Canadian novelist, poet and song-and-dance man is one hell of an act. The cynicism too has come of age as in “There’s torture and there’s killing... and there’s all my bad reviews.” A classic, showing too that there is still a country for old men. Praise be...

Film of the week Noble (15, nationwide) Christina Noble succeeded in converting the misery of an impoverished childhood in the Dublin of the ‘50s into unparalleled acts of love in the country that was/is the post-war Vietnam. The familiar story is told in a series of flashbacks from the time the Dubliner, played adroitly by the very capable Deirdre O’Kane who instigated the movie project, arrives in Vietnam in1989 and

her attempts to get financial aid to rescue the pathetic urchins of Ho Chi Minh City. Flashbacks to her childhood with an abusive father (Liam Cunningham) and a poorly mother (Derbhle Crotty) to her gang-rape as a young woman and subsequent pregnancy and forced adoption. The film is unpretentious and persuasive. A modern Irish classic, like its heroine.

serve better officials than this.’ Anyone for seagull and chips, says I. Meantime, the headline of the week must go to Yahoo News who wrote ‘ Cocaine haul found in 91-year-old Vatican librarian’s car.’ Big deal. You might say. I couldn’t possibly comment.

Buzz of the week Pocket-in-one Everyone’s talkin’ about ...well, four million people are for that’s the number who watched a YouTube video of Rory McIlroy hitting a ball into the pocket of a spectator courtesy of a rebound from a tree. Sadly, the rules of golf do not allow for such a hole-in-one! So the chips were down for

Big Mac who came second in the PGA Tour event in Atlanta, Georgia. See tinyurl.com/PocketInOne, The Nord Iron ladies’ man is back scoring (if that’s the word) on Friday for day one of the Ryder Cup at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland. We wish him well..

App of the Week Collectors Proof (IOS, free) If you collect things, any thing from model airplanes to matchbook covers, and you fancy sharing your treasured trove online to all and sundry, then this app is a must, as it provides a very cool social-media platform to connect with others who might share your anorak obsessions. The posts of all you follow or who follow you, if you follow me, are displayed in

a news-feed format just like any other social media website or app. No doubt you can idle away endless hours scrolling through the feed to find like-minded fanatics. You can even reach a wider audience by posting your precious paraphernalia to your Facebook timeline. Me, I’m keeping my fancy egg-cups collection strictly offline..

Book of the Week A History Of Loneliness by John Boyne (Doubleday €17.99) A History Of Loneliness by John Boyne (Doubleday €17.99): The Dublin-born author of the magnificent The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas for the first time sets this, his eighth novel, in his native Ireland. It tells the odious tale of the decay and decline of Catholicism in Ireland through the eyes of its narrator Odran

Yates from the time he first enters the seminary in the 1970s. Over the next four decades he observes his own fall from grace and that of his church against a backdrop of revelations of child sexual abuse. Wonderfully written and well plotted, Boyne’s novel is a powerful indictment of the abuse of authority.

DVD of the week The Angriest Man In Brooklyn (Lionsgate)

Game of the Week Age Of Wonders 3, Golden Realms (€9.99) This became the favourite 4X turn-based strategy games of the year after its release last March. Now, its first premium expansion is out. It doesn’t necessarily redefine the original experience but for its price its new content makes a great game even better. Golden Realms most notable edition is the Halfling Race and you’d be forgiven for mistaking

them for Hobbits from Tolkein’s classic franchise. Several of their units are evocative of such, with a pinch or two of carelessness in their arsenal. You can even summon eagles to aid you in battle. And what they may well lack in originality they more than make up for in joviality and sheer, if somewhat nervous, fun and games.

blocked phone numbers. Then he is forced to re-evaluate his existence after a doctor mistakenly tells him he has just 90 minutes (correct!) to live. Not one of the late actor’s greatest moments as he tries to wrestle with a very contrived plot. Even the best efforts of a talent like Robin Williams cannot rescue this from its intended obscurity. Strictly for the fans, of which there are legions. And deservedly so.

DEE E KAVANAGH

One week after he committed suicide Signature Entertainment announced it was rush-releasing one of Robin Williams’ last movies straight to DVD, for it seems recently-deceased actors are a huge draw on home-entertainment (don’t ask). There’s a little irony about this movie: Williams plays irate lawyer Henry Altmann who finds reasons to be less than cheerful about everyday matters from car alarms to

7KH 0D]H 5XQQHU Who built the maze? How did they construct it? Where was it built, and why can it rearrange itself each night? These are some of the questions I asked (and had answered) during a screening of Wes Ball’s The Maze Runner, a good sign that the central conceit and snaking mythology put forth by James Dashner’s source novel had reeled me in. If The Maze Runner starts a viable franchise – as is hinted at in the final minutes of this series-launching chapter – I’m on board with finding out what happens next. Can there be a bigger compliment? The Maze Runner can be broken down as William Golding’s Lord of the Flies by way of Lindelof and Cuse’s Lost. It analyzes the psychological reactions of a gang of young men dropped, mysteriously, into the center of a massive maze. And it chips away at the larger questions – the “who”

7KH =HUR 7KHRUHP The often underfunded yet always fascinating Terry Gilliam dives back into dystopian drama with The Zero Theorem. Its central story of an outsider fighting against the oppression of a smothering society is one we’ve seen before in Brazil and Twelve Monkeys. But splattered in a vivid color palette and rich with irreverent details that sneer at everything from the Christian faith to our obsession over superheroes, Gilliam’s latest dystopian tale feels fresh and necessary. Christoph Waltz stars as Qohen Leth, a neurotic computer hacker who refers to himself in the royal we, rejects common pleasures-from junk food to sex--and waits impatiently for his calling. More specifically, he desperately wants an actual phone call that he believes will give his life meaning. His quest to earn this call brings him into the realm of the manipulative Management (Matt Damon), an ennui-ridden wunderkind named Bob (Lucas Hedges), and a latexloving call girl called Bainsley (Mélanie Thierry). Qohen’s existential crisis is heavy. Yet The Zero Theorem is light with an iconoclastic humor and beguiling bub-

bliness. As we’ve come to expect from Gilliam’s works, every frame is packed with quirky details that inform his distinctive dystopias, and often contemptible but always compelling characters. The production design alone for The Zero Theorem could entertain. For instance, a scene where Qohen goes before a panel of doctors includes one doctor played by Peter Stormare, who examines the naked and anxious hacker while wearing exam gloves that have had the finger tips snipped off! It’s a nonsensical world that refuses to acknowledge its

own lack of sense, and so it pulls us into Qohen’s feeling of being lost. Ignited by performers clearly giddy to play in Gilliam’s sandbox, The Zero Theorem is electric, full of thoughtprovoking concepts and dazzling imagery. At its core is a story that’s bittersweet yet boldly funny. It’s bonkers and brilliant, folding in pop culture icons with classical influences. Daring us to empathize with a dreamer the film repeatedly declares mad. And for all this, The Zero Theorem is a masterpiece of Gilliam’s style and substance.

and the “why” – while letting noteworthy cast members Dylan O’Brien, Blake Cooper, Kaya Scodelario (as the lone girl in the group) and smoldering Will Poulter shoulder the requisite drama that enhances the science-fiction at play. I understand audiences who want to wave the white flag at the notion of having to learn the specifications of another sci-fi, teen lit universe. It’s getting difficult to keep your Mockingjay districts separated from your

Divergent factions, and The Maze Runner downloads The Glade, Runners, Greavers, The Changing and more into our ever-developing glossary of cinematic sci-fi terms. But director Wes Ball makes the Maze a daunting and emotionless adversary to our young heroes, and the effects work in this introductory chapter convinced me to want the next installment of this potential franchise to unfold on screen, and soon.

Just for the record, I’ve got the blues Talking the talk with Paul Hopkins

O

n the day Apple announced to the faithful the impending launchof the new iPhone and the much anticipated iWatch, came another announcement which got lost somewhat amid all the bells and whistles: the king of gadgets would no longer be producing the iPod Classic, that lump of metal about the size of a cigarette pack onto which you could store, and play, your music collection. After 10 years as the music lover’s favourite gizzmo, the iPod is kaput, no more, a deceased iPod. Mainly because with smartphones getting, well, smarter, and having the capability for large storage space, the good, old trusty iPod is redundant. On the same day of that death notice, I went to put an album the Scottish indie band Django Django, downloaded from the internet, on to my 160 gigabyte iPod, only to discover the handheld lump of aluminium was full. Not a byte to be had. I had known the day was coming. It has taken me the best part of three years to pile 1,698 albums onto this micromiracle of technology. Now there’s no room at the iPod. Putting aside the dilemma of what to do in the interim with the remaining 4,000 and odd albums piled in plastic containers, covering every genre known, my plans for what to do eventually with the lot were scuppered by the news last year of the HMVclosures. The chain had advertised it would

buy your ‘unwanted’ CDs at 50p a pop and I had visions of myself, having eventually put all music on an external hard drive, taking another three years and multitrips with the car boot chockabloc until I would eventually amass the tidy sum of three grand for my troubles. It was not to be. The dramatic falloff in people buying ‘records’ and the high cost of high street rents put paid to HMV’s business. Some of the stores are back, I’m pleased to say, but there is no talk now of buying ‘unwanted’ CDs. I miss music shops, of course, for though I had succumbed to the draw of digital downloads I was still buying CDs on a monthly basis — mainly to play in the car on my weekly Dublin to Waterford return trips, and occasionally for the richerVRXQGLQJ KL Âż ZKHQ QRW RSWLQJ IRU WKH KDQGLQHVV of the iPod.

(Don’t ask.) Down the years, the medium through which we amassed our music has changed: there was vinyl, the single and the elpee, then tapes that allowed you make your very own personal party mix — that’s if they didn’t manage to become completely ravelled; the fandangled 8-track and then the CDs — and shortlived minidisc and DAT tape — and now the electronic thingamebob that resides in cyber space and on your computer and is also known as an MP3 ¿ OH &'V ¿ UVW KLW RXU GHFNV EDFN LQ ZLWK WKH UHOHDVH RI %LOO\ -RHOœV QG 6WUHHW LQ -DSDQ %XW E\

Going to HMV (or Tower or Virgin) to buy an album, and then even a CD, was a big thing for discovering and debating music with other likeminded buffs and not least with the friendly and well-informed young shop assistants. The latter in the last few years had introduced me to a lot of the contemporary stuff I listen to now. For educating me I thank them. The internet may have opened our minds to more music and is indeed a quicker, and in these straitened times, cheaper way of getting hold of such, but I miss the tactility, if that’s the word, of the whole goingintothestore thing and just maybe happening upon some new artist or reissue from my halcyon days. And of course walking the streets with your iPod stuck in your ears is a solitary affair, whereas with the album or CD you could while away a wet Saturday afternoon with friends listening to and discussing the genius of a new Bowie outing or the political nuances of the postPunk period, or more precisely the lack of any such anarchy or zeal. ,Q WKH PHDQWLPH LI WKHUH DUH DQ\ D¿ FLRQDGRV RXW there who want to buy, unseen, about 6,000 CDs — and oodles of vinyl and tapes — give me a shout in about three years time when I’ve managed to put the lot onto hard drive.

The terrible thing is, if I were to do nothing else, no sleep, no eating, for the rest of my mortal days I do not have time enough to hear all 6,000 CDs just once more.

Facebook page can be a Pelvic pregnancy pain great way of getting clients can be common complaint

Talking Business with Sarah Bolger FACEBOOK can be a great tool to allow you to reach an online market of potential customers. A Facebook business page can also add credibility to a company and allow a customer direct access to a company’s page to view their posts, offers and/or products and services. It is a platform to communicate your company’s persona, your company’s values and the unique elements that are associated with your business and brand. Obtaining a Facebook page is also an inexpensive approach to building your presence online without the use of a

website. Setting up a Facebook business page is all well and good but learning how to use to its optimal potential is key. I have selected a few proven tactics you may like to adopt when posting across your Facebook page to generate more customer engagement and revenue. If you have a website always encourage the user to view your website. Only post up a snippet of information you would like to provide them ZLWK LI WKH\ ZDQW WR Âż QG RXW more they will have to click through to your website. Example “Our new range just in, can you guess our favourite...â€? This is utilising Facebook as a direct sales channel as well as a communication tool. We all like competitions and the thrill of the chance to win but with grey areas surrounding “like and shareâ€? competitions an effective alternative is to simply ask a question. Exampleâ€? We have an exclusive set of pearl earrings to give away but what we would

like to know is what is your favourite piece of jewellery and why?� This is not only generating attention through a competition but generating an emotional appeal to your clients and getting new potential customers sharing stories of how jewellery has been embedded in their precious moments. This increases the chance of your jewellers in becoming the ¿ UVW SRLQW RI FDOO ZKHQ D JLIW needs to be bought. Increase the sharing of high quality visuals, videos and imagery. Use illustrations showing products and services but also share visuals of customers experiencing your products and services. Examples may include hair style before and after images or images of friends enjoying a meal. My last note would be to only share content that is in line with your values as a company.

Talking Fitness with Siobhan Fitzpatrick PREGNANCY-related Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP), also known as Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), is a very common although not normal condition during pregnancy.

Lifestyle This coffee beer is my cup of tea Craft Beer Corner by Jim Flash Gordon BREWERS are conservative; they stick to their methods, ingredients and processes. And that’s just good. If it wasn’t for this conservatism, we would not be able to enjoy the classic Southern German Weissbier, Czech lager, English bitter or spontaneously fermented beer from Belgium just to name a few styles that, thanks to brewers’ conservatism, have been handed down to posterity’s beer drinkers. So from here a sincere thanks to all the old brewers, who insist on brewing beer just as their ancestors did. But Mikkeller does not join the line of the conservatives. It might be possible to criticize them for that, some might even argue that they mess the classic beer styles, and that they damage them. But such arguments will not be taken seriously by at Revolution. We have no mass on main stream beers – the world is changing fast, Revolution is changing with it.

I’ll leave that discussion to others. Instead I’ll draw your attention to the newest beers from Mikkeller: I got a taste from our Rep and said I would try two cases – 48 bottles. It’s a strange, tasty beer – might take a while to sell, but it will add to our portfolio - hitting 100 beer makes now (Tini is still giving me grief to get more fridges for our beers or stop buying em). This is a spontaneously fermented beer with coffee. There are probably several lambic brewers who rotate in their graves at the thought of this beer. And there are probably many more conservative-minded beer drinkers who’ll shake their heads. But for all of us adventurous beer geeks who are always on the lookout for a new and exciting taste, this is certainly an exciting novelty.

Dress appropriately for the job or company: It is never acceptable to wear jeans to an interview - too informal and relaxed. Think about the role you are applying for and how you would dress if you were in that position. It isn’t always necessary to wear a suit but if you don’t, make sure your clothes look professional and give the right impression. Facial piercings should be removed and tattoos covered up (at least until you land the job). Too much make-up is also unacceptable as is dousing yourself with perfume/aftershave. Keep your look simple, professional and non- descriptive. Don’t talk too much. Telling the interviewer more than they need to know could be a fatal mistake.

What’s on the menu? GOAT CHEESE TART This Goat Cheese Tart is a perfect supper dish for this time of the year. It has an element of winter comfort food but is still light enough to enjoy with a last blast of a summery salad. You will need an eight inch lose bottom baking tin for this cake. Line it with grease proof paper and brush it with oil. Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees. INGREDIENTS 400 grms ready-rolled puff pastry 2 goat’s cheese logs

THOMPSON’S

Ashley Thompson of Thompson’s CarryOut Offlicence, Ferrybank, says Goat Cheese Tart is one of her all-time favourites. “I am going to enjoy it with a superb Organic IPA from Little Valley Brewery in West Yorkshire. This is Python IPA,. “India Pale Ale (IPA) is a hoppy beer style within the broader category of Pale Ale. It was first brewed in England in the 19th century. Traditionally, heavily hopped, so as to preserve the beer on its long arduous journeys around the globe to quench the thirsts of the British empire . Interesting little fact, The Mayflower landed at Plymouth, North America, with its pil-

1 egg beaten A few sprigs of thyme or rosemary Cut the pastry into six equal pieces, rolling each into a 13cm square. Cut the logs into three piece each. Place each piece of cheese in the centre of a square of pastry. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg. Now draw the sides of the pastry towards the cheese to form a pyramid. Press the pastry edges together half-way up the sides, leaving the centre open. Add a

small sprig of herb to each one.. Slid on to a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 220 c / Gas 7 for fifteen minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed up and the cheese has softened. Eat and enjoy while the cheese is still warm.

*The Granary CafÊ is on O’Connell Street, Waterford

And what to drink with it.... grims, rather than it’s proposed destination because it ran out of beer ! Beer was preferred on long journeys because it was safer to drink than water. “Little Valley Brewery sits high on the Pennine moorland of Cragg Vale near to Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. They brew a tasty range of beers, naturally refreshing and full of good taste. All of their beers are brewed with 100% organic agricultural ingredients, and carefully select only the best, tastiest organic hops and malts, all brewed with soft Yorkshire water. “All you get to taste are fine hand craft-

ed beers that are naturally brewed to the highest standards. “Python IPA is a straw coloured, double hopped, original IPA. Organic and bottle conditioned, it provides a strong malty taste with a delicious balance of hops and bitterness. This beer will easily survive any long journey to India, and will balance perfectly with the creamy Goats Cheese , Thyme or Rosemary. 500 ml Bottle and 6% ABV. “Python IPA is available in Thompsons CarryOut Offlicence, Ferrybank, Waterford, along with other Little Valley beers. Cheers .�

Mortgage expertise isn’t much good if it’s not there when you need it EBS Waterford wonder why it has to be 9 to 5pm Isn’t it strange that most mortgage providers aren’t available when it’s most convenient to their customers? You would have thought that a business that really wants to deliver for its customers would try to work around their schedules, but sadly it’s not often the case. So how would you like to deal with a mortgage provider who’ll meet you when it suits you? Try early mornings, late evenings and even on weekends. Sounds good, right? Better than that, it sounds like simple common sense. Why should you have to take time off from work for a mortgage Maurice McGee QFA, LIB appointment? The answer is - you shouldn’t. Buying a new 0DQDJHU (%6 :DWHUIRUG 2I¿FH home is exciting and important, but why should you have to waste even a minute of your annual leave on the paperwork? It’s your schedule that matters At EBS we can meet you when it suits you. For some customers that’s in the evening after the working day is done. For others, it’s an early morning before the working day begins. We’re so serious about working around you that we’ll see you on a Saturday if that’s what suits. It’s your schedule that matters – not ours. Combine that with the fact that you’ll get your own personal mortgage adviser who’ll guide you through the process from day one to the day you pick up the keys, and we think you might be getting some sense of the EBS difference. At EBS we only do two things – help people buy homes and save for the future, and we’ve been doing them since 1935. Our collective expertise and experience is available to you today, so why not experience the EBS difference for yourself?

*ODP ZRPDQ SUDFWLVHV \RJD DW D EXV VWRS By Trish Hayden One of my students remarked he’d seen a very glamorous looking woman practising yoga as she waited for the bus. On the opposite side of the road on a bench sat two older gentlemen, staring agog. HorriďŹ ed or impressed, we’ll never know, but deďŹ nitely fascinated. It may seem odd to practise yoga in the street but it’s common practice in parts of the world known for health and longevity to practise Tai Chi in the park or just stop in the middle of the street, stretch a tight limb and walk on. It’s an ability to be aware of how your body is feeling, being able to identify the tight or sore areas and then knowing how to stretch or release the tension. This is hugely beneďŹ cial as it allows the muscles to be eased out before blood ow becomes restricted to the area and tension becomes chronic. Sitting at a desk Sitting at a desk all day causes areas of tightness particularly in the hip region and across the shoulders. ]There are many chairs being touted as ones that will relieve your back pain.

Most importantly make sure that you’re sitting upright with a straight spine, square on the chair and with both feet at in the ground. Twisting to the right ďŹ rst, place your left palm on your right knee or the back of the palm to the outer side of the knee. Making sure your spine is tall and your chin in a neutral position, start to turn gently from the tummy, then the middle back, then the upper back. Stay for a few breaths and then gently unravel back to centre. Take a breath in the centre and then move to the opposite side. Just remember that this is a preventative twist. You’re not warmed up and the aim is to provide some movement to the spine, not to do your biggest twist ever. Some of them are excellent but really, the main issue is that you are remaining static for long periods of time. The uid in the spine becomes stagnant and the muscles of the back become overstretched and tired from trying to keep you upright, the muscles of the front of the chest become shortened

and tight, rolling forward and then the hip exors can become shortened and tight also.

you fresher, more alert and help keep headaches at bay. Twist

Incidental movement The simple answer is a little bit of regular movement. Incidental movements during the day will keep

Apart from getting out of your chair as much as possible, a gentle, simple twist in your chair is a great way to release tension in the muscles of the back.
