SIMPLE WAYS THAT LEAD TO A

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

ou hear a lot about living a healthy lifestyle, enough that the phrase ‘healthy lifestyle’ may be one we’d like to permanently retire. The problem is, that phrase describes the life we need to live if we want to feel good and look good. So, what does it actually mean? Well, there are the obvious things that describe a healthy person: He or she doesn’t smoke, is at a healthy weight, eats healthy foods and exercises on a regular basis. It sounds so simple, it’s funny just how hard it is to do all of those things in our current world. The good news is, you don’t

have to change everything at the same time. In fact, the trick to healthy living is making small changes. Take more steps each day, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water or saying no to that second helping of buttery mashed potatoes. So, what else can you be doing to live healthy? Your ﬁrst order of business is to start exercising. Exercise One of the biggest reasons we’re have a weight problem these days is because we sit around too much. We know we need to exercise, but we have so many excuses not to do it. We’re too busy, don’t

know where to start, we’re not motivated or we’re afraid we’ll injure ourselves or we’re afraid that exercise has to be vigorous for what our bodies can handle. The truth is, everything counts and the more you move, the healthier you’ll be. It’s great if you can spend time exercising - Meaning you’re sweating, working in your target heart rate zone and/or doing something to strengthen your body. But it doesn’t always have to be that way. Moderate activities like chores, gardening and walking can make a difference. Just adding a little movement to your life can: Reduce the risk of heart disease,

stroke and diabetes Improve joint stability Increase and improve range of movement Help maintain ﬂexibility as you age Maintain bone mass Prevent osteoporosis and fractures Improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression Enhance self esteem Improve memory in elderly people Reduce stress So, even if you opt for small changes and a more modest weight loss, you can see the beneﬁts are still pretty good. One study has found that just a 10% weight reduction helped obese

patients reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and increase longevity. In fact, you don’t even have to have a goal to lose weight, especially if you have trouble stick to a program. Why not focus on being healthy to start and worry about the weight loss once you’ve got some healthy habits under your belt? Simple Ways to Move Your Body You can start the process of being healthy and weight loss now by adding a little more activity to your life. If you’re not ready for a structured program, start small. Every little bit counts and it all adds up to burning more calories.

Turn off the TV. Once a week, turn off the TV and do something a little more physical with your family. Play games, take a walk...almost anything will be more active than sitting on the couch. Walk more. Look for small ways to walk more. When you get the mail, take a walk around the block, take the dog for an extra outing each day or walk on your treadmill for 5 minutes before getting ready for work. Do some chores. Shoveling snow, working in the garden, raking leaves, sweeping the ﬂoor...these kinds of activities may not be ‘vigorous’ exercise,

/LIH67</(

9 10 2013 KILKENNY REPORTER

but they can keep you moving while getting your house in order. Pace while you talk. When you’re on the phone, pace around or even do some cleaning while gabbing. This is a great way to stay moving while doing something you enjoy. Be aware. Make a list of all the physical activities you do on a typical day. If you ﬁnd that the bulk of your time is spent sitting, make another list of all the ways you could move more--getting up each hour to stretch or walk, walk the stairs at work, etc.

Eating Well Eating a healthy diet is another part of the healthy lifestyle. Not only can a clean diet help with weight management, it can also improve your health and quality of life as you get older. You can use the new MyPlate to determine how many calories you need and what food groups you should focus on or, if you’re looking for smaller changes, you can use these tips for simple ways to change how you eat: Eat more fruit. Add it to your cereal, your salads or even

your dinners Sneak in more veggies. Add them wherever you can--a tomato on your sandwich, peppers on your pizza, or extra veggies in your pasta sauce. Keep precut or canned/frozen veggies ready for quick snacks. Switch your salad dressing. If you eat full-fat dressing, switch to something lighter and you’ll automatically eat less calories. Eat low-fat or fat-free dairy. Switching to skim milk or fat free yogurt is another simple way to eat less calories without having to change too much in your diet.

Make some substitutes. Look through your cabinets or fridge and pick 3 foods you eat every day. Write down the nutritional content and, the next time you’re at the store, ﬁnd lowercalorie substitutes for just those 3 items. Creating a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to mean drastic changes. In fact, drastic changes almost always lead to failure. Making small changes in how you live each day can lead to big rewards, so ﬁgure out what you can to be healthy today.

GRAVITY M

ovie theaters will talk themselves blue these days trying to convince people to still bother to come out and see films in dark theaters with other people. But all they really need is Gravity, one of the most captivating and essential big-screen experiences in recent years, and maybe ever. The gripping thriller about two astronauts lost in space could work on a small screen in theory, sure. But in a dark theater, with expert sound effects and the stunning visuals surrounding you, Gravity is like being launched into orbit yourself; it’s transporting and terrifying and, eventually, transcendent. With its mind-boggling visuals and commitment to the authentic experience of outer space (no sound, no gravity, no oxygen), Gravity is genuinely unlike any film you’ve ever seen before. But its story, from a script written by director Alfonso Cuaron with his son Jonas, is deliberately, sometimes clangingly familiar. You’ve got one astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), a wisecracking veteran on his final spacewalk. And you’ve got the rookie Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), a brilliant and strong-willed scientist who’s understandably nauseous on her first trip into orbit. This odd couple pair has met disaster in

countless types of movies for the last century, but this time it happens to be in space, when a Russian satellite is hit by a missile and the debris comes flying at them at thousands of miles an hour. In space, nobody can help you dodge shrapnel. The lauded 10-minute unbroken shot that opens the film is mesmerizing and thrilling, and leads into the first action sequence, as Stone and Kowalski survive the debris field and manage to regroup themselves while overcoming problems that just don’t exist on earth, like the fact that once you start spinning in space, there’s no way to stop yourself. As Cuaron’s camera slips magically inside Stone’s helmet and back out into the distance of space, the visceral experience of the film becomes almost unbearable; the action sequences of Gravity are designed like a thrill ride, wringing maximum physical response from the audience, and it’s an insanely well-calibrated ride at that. When Stone and Kowalski finally have a chance to catch their breath, you may only then realize you’ve been holding yours as well. When the film takes the time to develop the characters, allowing Stone to talk about her young daughter’s death and Kowalski (Clooney essentially just playing himself in a space-

suit) to talk her through the ordeal, the lighter moments tend to work better than the heavier stuff near the end. Sandra Bullock’s resolutely physical, ferocious performance often says more concisely everything the script stumbles in saying out loud, and many of the film’s best emotional moments-- like her one-sided communication with amateur radio operator back on Earth-- are nearly wordless. The gambit of having the astronauts communicate with “Houston in the blind” allows the characters to narrate essential technical parts of the action, but at several key moments the script doesn’t know to step back-- that Bullock’s face and grim determination to survive say it all. With its deliberately archetypal characters and occasionally chewy dialogue Gravity feels like a film James Cameron would be lucky to make--an enormous compliment for this technically brilliant, unerringly entertaining thriller. Your mileage may vary on the film’s more spiritual elements, but Gravity will make you believe in the higher power of movies, of the transformation that happens in a dark room with a giant screen and a story set in a place you couldn’t possibly imagine. See it in IMAX and in 3D and any other way that allows you to block out the rest of the world. Gravity is movie

Xxx XXX newďŹ lms BAGGAGE CLAIM

Baggage 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 Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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). Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of in that way (Derek Luke). Many of these encounters are amusing, enlightening or worthy of a oh-no-he-didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and in them, the film has its single greatest strength. It might be formulaic, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason why romantic comedies love incorporating former lovers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy way to generate laughs and shoehorn in character development backstory. Baggage Claim isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really good by any definition. Its characters arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly well-developed, and its basic plot isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything anyone would ever consider doing. The film contains one scene thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so bizarrely shot and weirdly sexual that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still convinced it was originally meant to be a dream sequence, and it makes no sense that all of Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely good enough to watch, given the right mood. Adam Brody and Jill Scott are absurdly wonderful as Montanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constantly fighting co-workers, and there are more than a handful of big smiles to be had here. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Looking after your pet Get Regular Vaccinations For optimal health, pets need regular vaccinations against common ills, such as rabies, distemper, feline leukemia, and canine hepatitis. How often your dog or cat needs to be immunized depends on their age, lifestyle, health, and risks, says McGeorge, so talk to your vet about the vaccinations that make sense for your pet. Provide an Enriched Environment An enriched environment is another key to the long-term health and welfare of your canine and feline friends, says C.A. Tony Buffington, DVM, PhD, a veterinary nutritionist and professor at Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center in Columbus. Pets need mental stimulation, say the pros, which may mean daily walks for your pooch, and scratching posts, window perches, and toys for your cat. It means play time with you, which not only keeps your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muscles toned and boredom at bay, it also strengthens your bond with your four-footed companions. ID Microchip Your Pet Lack of identification means as few as 14% of pets ever find their way home after getting lost. Fortunately, â&#x20AC;&#x153;microchipping allows for the pet to be reunited with its family,â&#x20AC;? no matter how far away it is when found, Burns says. About the size of a rice grain, a microchip is inserted under the skin in less than a second. It needs no battery and can be scanned by a vet or an animal control officer in seconds. Be sure to register the chip ID with the chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maker. A

current registration is the vital last step in making certain your pet can always find his way home. Pets Need Dental Care, Too Just like you, your pet can suffer from gum disease, tooth loss, and tooth pain. And just like you, regular brushing and oral cleanings help keep your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth strong and healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dental disease is one of the most common preventable illnesses in pets,â&#x20AC;? Ohio veterinarian Vanessa Douglas tells WebMD, â&#x20AC;&#x153;yet many people never even look in their petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouths.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated 80% of dogs and 70% cats show signs of dental disease by age three, leading to abscesses, loose teeth, and chronic pain. In addition to regular dental cleanings by your vet, â&#x20AC;&#x153;periodontal disease can be avoided by proper dental care by owners,â&#x20AC;? Douglas says. Owner care includes brushing, oral rinses, and dental treats. Your vet is a good source of information about brushing techniques, oral rinses, and dental treats. Never Give Pets People Medication Medicines made for humans can kill your pet, says Georgia veterinarian Jean Sonnenfield, DVM. As a matter of fact, in 2010 the ASPCA listed human drugs in the top 10 pet toxins. NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen are the most common pet poisoning culprits, but antidepressants, decongestants, muscle relaxants, and acetaminophen are just a few of the human drugs that pose health risks to pets. Human drugs can cause kidney damage, seizures, and cardiac arrest in a dog or cat.

The Shining (1981) The Shining is an incoherent, illogical, chaotic mess; it is also one of the best ďŹ lms ever made. The ďŹ lm is based on the famous and fantastic novel by American author Stephen King; the novel is a story about a loving family who head to a haunted hotel in Colorado for ďŹ ve months because the father obtained a job as its caretaker. As the novel progresses, the father becomes more and more inďŹ&#x201A;uenced by the hotel whose powers have been ampliďŹ ed because of the supernatural ability of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young son Danny. This culminates in the third act where the father tries to kill his wife and daughter with a croquet mal-

let. The ďŹ lm on the other hand downplays the supernatural aspect of the book and has the father lose himself much more willingly than he did in the book. It also removes several important chunks of the story, making it almost impossible to completely understand what is happening. Thankfully though, the ďŹ lm isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about the story, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the experience; and it is an extremely tense and mind bending one at that. The movie succeeds in creating and holding suspense better than any ďŹ lm I can think of. The ďŹ lm is just plain creepy, like in the scenes where Danny is cycling around the hotel and happens upon room 237, or when Jack ďŹ nds the naked woman in the bathtub, it will ďŹ ll you completely with dread. The ďŹ lm constantly blurs the line between what is real

and what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, at some points it feels like everyone is just insane. As the ďŹ lm continues characters begin to see more and more ghosts and supernatural activities, near the end of the ďŹ lm in one section it devolves into pure surreality with elevators full of blood and a man in a bear suit. Though he may have failed slightly playing the straight man at the start, once everything starts going wrong Nicholson becomes bona ďŹ de possessed and creates one of the most famous performances of all times; though I still believe the ďŹ lm is at its best in the second act as the tension is building. I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the ďŹ lm in about ďŹ ve years before recently, and I was amazed to ďŹ nd I remembered every scene; they are all highlights. It is truly a horror classic.

Brian KeenanAn Evil Cradling (1991) Between 11 April 1986 and 24th August 1990 the Islamic Jihad Organization held Irish professor Brian Keenan hostage in Beirut; he spent the majority of this time blindfolded and chained by both hands and feet to radiators with fellow hostage John McCarthy. This book, published a year following his release, tells the story of his time in captivity. The book captures in its three hundred and ďŹ fty the complete psychology of Keenanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment. Most autobiographical authors fail to allow the reader to truly live inside them, to look through the same eyes, feel and smell the same things. Keenan lets himself by wholly known to his readers, exposing his

greatest weaknesses and most degrading moments. In the early parts of the book, before he is moved in with John McCarthy, we see him struggle desperately with madness and desperation, culminating in one scene where his room appears to ďŹ ll with birds. From this point in order to ďŹ ght off the madness he: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;decided to become my own self observerâ&#x20AC;Ś Letting madness take me where it would as long as I stood outside it and watched itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This method that is used throughout the entirety of the work is fascinating to see in action and really does give us insight into our main characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. He also discusses the mentality of the guards, the friends he meets, and the regime as a whole; these elements all elevate the book into something much more than it otherwise could have been. If this book had been just a standard and to-the-point bit

Charles Mingus- The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963)

of non-ďŹ ction then it will still be a harrowing and fascinating journey; but Keenan studied English and incorporates rich and descriptive prose into his work. His style is distinctly Irish and it gives the book a magniďŹ cent and engaging ďŹ&#x201A;ow. Overall, An Evil Cradling is a harrowing, dark journey that should be experienced by all.

Charles Mingus, though one of the most celebrated jazz artists of all time now, was quite an anomaly in his day. He publicly scorned both the decadent habits of his jazz contemporaries and the jazz audience of the time. Mingus made music that both harkened back to the origins of jazz in New Orleans while also looking forward with the third stream Jazz movement of the late 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and early 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Unlike many of his contemporaries he composed music with big bands, the band on this album is eleven big and consists of session men all hand picked by Mingus based on personality as well as skill. With such a big band, Mingus needed to ďŹ nd people who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let loose all over each other when improvising which means that compiling this band would have been an absolute nightmare. This is the main reason why there is truly nothing else like The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, most jazz musicians have a hard

enough time getting bands of four or ďŹ ve to stay on beat with music that twists and turns as much as the music on this album does, and do to it with eleven is absolutely unprecedented. The album was Avant Garde back in the 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the label mostly comes from the instrumentation. Though, with the exception of a Spanish guitar that comes sounding like the zither from The Third Man, the instruments used are conventional for jazz, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just their playing that is not. Mingus would put groups of instruments in juxtaposition with each other and create constantly evolving tones and textures. The album is at its heart an attempt at controlled chaos and no other album creates that feeling with a sound this big. The album also melds beauty, ugliness and chaos in a way that is reminiscent of Loveless. The album is split into four tracks and six modes, Mingus built a concept around the idea that the music would be used in a ballet but the idea never came into fruition so the concept and story is largely indecipherable. It is truly one of jazzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest achievements and one of the most important albums ever made.

Ceann Comhairle, John Young, rang the bell and drew the Dail to a recess, and glanced up at the clock on the wall. He said, “I propose at this time to break for lunch.

This is a time for reflection, planning and proving that you have ever ything it takes to reach the dizzy heights. Don’t hold back when it comes to selling the goods; and if it is necessar y to be selfish and mean, don’t be shy about doing it. GEMINI May 21 - June 20

With business associates, colleagues and relatives at their least cooperative, you need to make your points succinctly, backed up by hard facts. If you let them get away with it this time, there will be no stopping them in the future. Something that happens over the next few days will make you realise that you have taken a wrong turning. It is not the end of the world, and may even work in your favour if you use it as an opportunity to review your goals and re-examine your motives. With a business or financial matter nearing its conclusion, you can star t thinking about more enjoyable things. Indications are you can focus on creative projects and romantic affairs at the end of the week. You really can start to relax and have fun. VIRGO August 24 - September 22

Someone you encounter over the next few days will open your eyes – and your mind – to a new interest or idea. But don’t just leave it at that: with all the signs just right, there is a strong chance that it could turn into a moneyspinner. LIBRA September 23 - October 22

If you are feeling overworked or undervalued, think again. What occurs over the next few days will remind you that life is for living, and that anyone who tries to undermine your happiness or self-esteem does not deser ve your talents or your time. SCORPIO October 23 - November 22

I was at the local GAA club the other evening and found Sean, the team captain, in the changing room with a blank sheet and a pencil. “Figuring out the team for next Sunday?” I asked. “There isn’t much to figure out,” said Sean. “We only have fifteen players fit, so there’s only one team I can write down!” “Not so,” said I. “You have a vast number of possible teams.” Sean looked at me in bewilderment and so I explained. The players don’t always have to play in the same positions. So considering the full-back first, there are fifteen names you could write on the sheet in that position. For ever y on of the names there, you could now write any one of the fourteen remaining names in the next position on the sheet, and so on until all positions are filled with possibilities.

Question: Can you say how many differnt team sheets Sean could write out using only his fifteen players?

A change of roles and responsibilities is in the pipeline but you need to understand the ground rules before agreeing to anything. Talk to those you’ll be working with, but take what they say in context and in the light of your own experience. SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 21

There is more to life than work and worry – as you’ll find out over the next few days. So stop wasting your time on things that cannot be changed, or may never happen, and start thinking of ways to improve the overall quality of your life. CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19

Pub of the week The Ennisnag Lounge The Ennisnag Lounge is a pub, located near Stoneyford and Danesfort. When entering this ﬁne establishment, one would be forgiven for thinking they’ve just gone through a time machine. Every facet of this pub with the exception of its widescreen television screams golden nostalgia for the bygone 60’s lounge bars. Many pubs around

the country struggle with an austere sense of grime, especially during the day, that makes cans at home look more appealing but the Ennisnag Lounge is different. The pub always feels warm and friendly, it has a set patronage but is always welcoming to those outside. It’s the kind of place tourists think of when they imagine the ideal Irish pub.

Business of the week Amanda Burke Photography Amanda Burke Photography is a photography company based in Kilkenny who has recently opened a course in beginner’s photography. Starting on the 29th October, the classes will be held between 7:30 and 9:30pm at St

Patrick’s Parish Centre in Loughboy. The classes are designed for all sorts of different camera enthusiasts from those completely alien to the idea of photography to those who already know what they’re doing. There is

always more to know and Amanda Burke will guide you through your learning process. The course will run for 8 weeks and includes ﬁeld trips and sessions on portraits. For more information visit www. amandaburkephotography.com.

Book of the week Gillian Flynn- Gone Girl Gone Girl is the newest book by American author Gillian Flynn, published in January of this year. The book tells the story of Nick Dunne, happily married to his wife Amy Dunne until their ﬁfth anniversary in which his

wife goes missing. The police suspect Nick, Amy’s friends reveal secrets that she had been keeping from her husband, and when the police analyze his computer, they ﬁnd strange searches that he swears are not his.

The book is a thriller and quite a long one, coming in at about 500 pages but it does manage to stay interesting until the end which already puts it above most thrillers. Overall a good read and worth a look.

Game of the week Dota 2 Dota 2 is a free multiplayer PC game, developed by Valve and available on Steam. Though hundreds of thousands of players could play the game in beta the game has only been officially released recently. The genre (moba) currently houses the most popular multiplayer games in the world with 555,245 people currently playing Dota

2 with peak times that often excess ten times that. The basic idea is that there are two teams of ﬁve who set up on opposite sides of a symmetrical map and ﬁght to destroy the core at the op-

posing teams main base. Each player plays as a champion (of which you can choose from a list of hundreds) who levels up and learns new abilities in games that last about fourty-ﬁve minutes. The basic formula soon becomes intoxicating and extremely addictive, with many players exceeding a thousand hours in the game already. The game is also low intensity on graphics so should play on almost anything.

DVD of the week Dead Man Down Dead Man Down is a new neo noir crime thriller directed by Danish director Niels Arden Oplev and starring Colin Farrell. The ﬁlm is at heart about a man and a woman; Vic (Farrell) is a thug working for a ruthless mobster who he intends to torture and kill and Beatrice (Noomi Rapace) is a traumatized woman who has been in a car accident. On their ﬁrst date, Beatrice reveals that she owns Vic kills people

and wants him to kill the man who hit her with his car, disfiguring her face in the process. I’ll be honest this film isn’t great. When I saw it I thought it was a 6/10 at best but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be anything much coming out in the realm of DVD’s at the moment so here we are. Give it a few more weeks and we’ll be getting a few of the Summer films but until then.. Dead Man Down is decent.

Charity Shops Not only are charity clothes shop the cheapest possible option for those in search of clothes, it is also the most fashionable! Ok maybe three years they were the most fashionable before ‘hipster’ re entered everyone’s vocabulary but I’ll be damned if they don’t provide a plethora of great clothing options for next

to nothing. In the US the Salvation Army has shops the size of lidl but here in Ireland instead we have dozens of little shops that all represent different charities. So instead of picking just one I thought it best to collectively give this meagre award to all the charity shops that sprout like weeds around the city centre.

App of the week Duolingo Duolingo is a free educational app that will help you learn languages in a clean and effective manner. Until recently one would have to use the duolingo website to make use of its fantastic services but no more. The app divides languages into small sections that all form together into a tree like structure where you often get to pick what you want to study next. The app

is designed so you can use it for ﬁve minutes or ﬁve hours and obtain results every time, it’s the sort of app you’re supposed to use every day in order to learn. The course is easy, fun and completely free with no ads or in app purchases. Languages now available include: Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and English. It’s an app that I have used personally for months and found it extremely helpful.

Film of the week Blue Jasmine Blue Jasmine is the new ﬁlm by the great (if divisive) Woody Allen and stars Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin and Peter Sarsgaard. The ﬁlms tells the story of a New York socialite brought low who moves in with her poorer sister in San Francisco to rebuild her life. The premise has brought comparisons with A

Streetcar Named Desire and certainly these sentiments are not uncalled for, most notably in its basic plot structure and its main characters. The ﬁlm has been receiving absolutely rave review and has been called by contemporary critics Allen’s best ﬁlm since Manhattan. It is unquestionably worth seeing.

Gig of the week David O’Doherty David O’Doherty is a very famous Irish comedian, author, musician, actor and playwright who has won many, many awards in his time such as The Perrier Award. He will be playing at the set theatre next Saturday, the 12th October, and will be starting at 8PM. This new comedy show

Album of the Week The Haxan Cloak- Excavation Excavation, released in April of this year, is the newest album by London based music producer Bobby Krlic aka The Haxan Cloak. The album is a dark ambient work that’s main objective is to horrify you. The album resembles the soundtrack to a horror ﬁlm and is obsessed with low frequency, physical, cacophonic sounds. But

Krlic also knows that one needs lighter moments over an hour of music, so these dark terrifying moments are punctuated with sounds of absolute beauty. The album is at its core, an experience; and one shouldn’t listen to it unless they’re ready to spend the next hour completely submerged in its sounds.

that he is touring with includes both talking and songs and no scrubs. He is a comedian whose most potent tools are his legendary dry sarcasm and sporadic topics of song such as angry mathematicians, ﬁnding love and how to dislodge badger’s from one’s leg. The gig will cost €18 and is well worth the cost.

KILKENNY REPORTER 9 10 2013

Golf Notes – Callan Mount Carmel Classic Next Friday and Saturday Callan golf Club hosts the annual Mount Carmel Classic. The response this year has been phenomonal and most appreciated by all involved. This Classic is a vital fundraiser for this wonderful organisation who nurse the elderly in the most caring and respectful of manners. Ignasius Rice has fund raised brilliantly for years in aid of Mount Carmel and this year golf club members Robert Woodcock and Bea O Donovan and aided by Mount Carmels Anne Walpoole are the chief organisers. The classic costs 60e per team with some beautiful prizes on offer including a ﬁrst prize of a weekend break in Kilcoran Lodge in Cahir for the winnning combination. Any sponsorship would be greatfully recieved (donations, tee boxes or prizes) with tee time enquires to Robert (087 6592977)/ Bea from Callan Golf Club (056 7725136) or Anne (056 7725301). There is very limited tee time availablity but the organising committee will endevour to accomodate any teams that are interested in supporting the efforts.

Membership 2014 Membership for 2014 is now open with some fantastic deals for new or lapsed members from 499e (449 for seniors). Membership for existing members has also

been reduced to 549 with an option of inviting in a new/ lapsed member for 449 for both the new/lapsed member and the existing member. Of one joins now they will be fully paid up members until January 2015. That represents amazing value and full details/ﬁnance options are available from Margaret on 056-7725136.

Ladies end of Season Prizes Mary Lanigan claimed top billing when the Ladies End of Season Prizes were played out last saturday on sunsoaked

fairways. The unseaonsally warm weather obviously suited Mary who had 40 points to win by 3 points from Eiliah Ahern with Berna Walsh in third. Breda Ryan capped off a fine season by taking the gross award. Mary Manning took fourth place with 36 points while Eileen Cuddihy was in fifth. Well done to all the prize winners and indeed all the participants in helping to make this finale such a successful and memorable day.

Bar and Catering The Club would like to

welcome Keith O Dwyer to the club as the new bar and catering lease holder. Keith has had a long relationship with the club and is wished the best of luck in his efforts. There is a full bar and catering service available to members and visitors with function catering also welcomed. Contact Keith at 056-7725136 to discuss availability. Best of luck to Michael Wlash in his new venture and all the best for the future also.
