Jokes
A woman came home, screeching her
car into the driveway, and ran into the
house. She slammed the door and
shouted at the top of her lungs, 'Hon-
ey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!'
The husband said, 'Oh my God! What
should I pack, beach stuff or mountain
stuff?'
'Doesn't matter,' she said. 'Just get
out.'
A man entered a pet shop, wanting to
buy a parrot. The shop owner pointed
out three identical parrots on a perch
and said, "The parrot to the left costs
€500 ."
"Why does that parrot cost so much?"
the man wondered. The owner re-
plied, "Well, it knows how to use a
computer."
The man asked about the next parrot
on the perch.
"That one costs €1,000 because it can
do everything the other parrot can do,
plus it knows how to use the UNIX
operating system." Naturally, the star-
tled customer asked about the third
parrot.
"That one costs €2,000."
"And what does that one do?" the man
asked.
The owner replied, "To be honest, I've
never seen him do a thing, but the oth-
er two call him boss!"
"Mummy, Mummy!" called Little
Johnny one day. "Do you know the
beautiful vase in the dining room
that's been handed down from genera-
tion to generation?"
"Yes", said his mother. "What about
it?"
"Well the last generation just dropped
it."
A guy walked into his friend's office.
He found his friend sitting at his desk,
looking very depressed.
"Hey, what's up with you?", he asked.
"Oh, its my wife," replied the man
sadly. "She's hired a new secretary for
me."
"Well, nothing wrong in that," he
said, "Is she blonde or brunette?"
"Neither. He's bald."
Two elderly gentlemen are playing
cards on Saturday evening just as they
have done for the past 50 years.
Gus, the elder, had been having prob-
lems remembering what cards were
what, and usually needed help from
his wife. At the end of the card game
Ted said to Gus, "You did very good
tonight. You didn't need any help at
all. Why is that?"
Gus replied, "Why, ever since my
wife sent me to that memory school, I
haven't had any problems at all."
"Memory school? What memory
school?"
Gus thought for a moment, "Oh,
what's that flower that's red with
thorns? A really pretty flower . . . "
"A rose?" asked Red.
"Yeah, that's it!" Gus turned to his
wife and mumbled, "Hey, Rose!
What's the name of that memory
school you sent me to?"

The power of dreams: Graduate of
LIT. Tipperary, Anthony Glynn, has
been short-listed for the prestigious
2014 David Manley Emerging Entre-
preneur Awards.
“To raise new questions, new possibil-
ities, to regard old problems from a
new angle, requires creative imagina-
tion and marks real advance in Sci-
ence.” Albert Einstein.
Albert Glynn from Roscrea and James
Sherlock from Athlone, have together
designed a hydro-turbine engine sys-
tem that enables people to harness
electricity from the natural flow of wa-
ter in minor rivers, streams, weirs and
sluice gates.
Their innovative and creative thinking
has resulted in a fledgling but hugely
promising Business called “Ár Nua-
TEC” which has gained a
nomination(Business category) on the
shortlist for the prestigious David
Manley Emerging Entrepreneur
Awards sponsored by the Dublin
Chamber of Commerce.
Lateral thinking seems to come natu-
rally to Anthony Glynn, who studied
Renewable Energy Development at
LIT.Tipperary (formerly Tipperary
Institute.) During the course of the
programme Anthony developed his
initial concept and has gone on to pur-
sue his dreams of devising new ways
of generating electricity for rural com-
munities at a reasonable cost.
The combined innovative spirit and
creative thinking embodied by the dy-
namic duo have resulted in the devel-
opment of a micro-hydro turbine
engine called “DUNK-E”which gives
people the choice of generating their
own electricity by harnessing the ener-
gy provided by natural resources. The
turbine has yet to be patented. Antho-
ny claims that the main advantages of
“Dunk-E” combine energy savings
with cost efficiency and has applica-
tions both within Ireland and abroad,
including developing countries.
The Certificate in Renewable Energy
at LIT. Tipperary was specifically de-
signed to encourage people to develop
their own projects and LIT. is proud
to have supported this new venture.

John O’Shaughnessy, Managing Di-
rector of Clancy Construction, was
elected President of Thurles Cham-
ber at the recent AGM held in
Thurles.
John takes over from PJ Shanahan of
Tim Looby Associates, who com-
pleted two packed years at the helm
of Thurles Chamber. John
O’Shauughnessy tells us that “PJ
worked tirelessly during his two
years as President of the Chamber
and had some significant success
during his tenure with the official
opening of Thurles Chamber Enter-
prise Centre (TCEC) which was a
joint venture between Thurles
Chamber and LIT, the installation of
the CCTV system to the town of
Thurles and the reduction of the
Chamber debt to name a few. All of
these were significant achievements
for Thurles Chamber during a time
of deep recession. PJ and the board
of Thurles Chamber have to be com-
mended for what they achieved”.
John has great hopes for his presi-
dency and is aiming to develop a 3-4
year overall strategy that will give
the Chamber more direction with a
focus on particular projects. As John
explains “the areas that are of inter-
est to me are, how we communicate
with our membership, networking
events, training and seminars, events
will allow local business people
meet in an informal setting where
they can interact with each other and
build B2B relationships and at the
same time learn new skill sets that
will allow them develop their busi-
ness. The development of the town
square and the proposed car park to
the rear of Jackie Griffins shop are
two particular projects that I feel we
as a Chamber should be focusing on.
I intend to meet with the local au-
thority and business people on the
square and any other interested par-
ties to who see how we all working
together can progress these projects
for the betterment of the town cen-
tre”.
John brings over twenty years of
business experience to the board and
has served on the board of Clancy
Construction for over 10 years. Dur-
ing this time, John has held the posi-
tion of HR, Contracts, Safety, and
Quality director. He is currently the
Vice President of the Master Build-
ers and Contractors Association
(MBCA) a national organisation that
represents main building contractors.
He is also a member of the national
executive of the Construction Indus-
try Federation (CIF) which repre-
sents building contractors, sub
contractors and suppliers.

The Hairdressing Department at
Templemore College (formerly St.
Sheelan’s college) recently facilitat-
ed a cutting and styling workshop
hosted by top Irish Stylist Kieran
O’Gorman.
The students observed Kieran and
his team as they transformed ordi-
nary hair cuts into extraordinary
styles. His tips and techniques left a
lasting impression on this dedicated
group of students at Templemore
College.
Kieran opened his salon in Kilkenny
in 1992 - Kieran O’Gorman Hair &
Beauty is now a leading quality 5
star salon.
During his career, Kieran has
worked all over Ireland showcasing
his work at various events and con-
ducting seminars and session work.
He has also showcased his famous
collections at the prestigious Salon
International. Kieran has also
worked in Dubai, Iceland, India,
Serbia, London and all over the
U.K.
Winner of the British F.A.M.E.
Team Award an initiative which
puts a team of four young hairdress-
ers together to represent the British
Fellowship at various showcases,
Kieran puts a great deal of emphasis
on training initiatives like this. Ki-
eran now personally invests a lot of
his time training, in the belief that
sharing your skills and ideas helps
keep the industry fresh, new and
exciting.
Kieran is the Artistic Director for
Matrix Ireland and U.K. and works
with them on photo shoots and sem-
inars in Ireland and the U.K. He re-
cently won Gold for Ladies Senior
Full Fashion hair at the Irish Hair-
dressers Federation Championships.
He is also a member of Intercoiffure
Mondial, which is the first interna-
tional organisation of high quality
hairdressing. The leaders of Inter-
coiffure salons are fashion orientat-
ed, keen in expanding their
profession and ready to share their
knowledge as part of the respect of
moral values.
Learning Kieran’s techniques and
secrets of the trade almost certainly
gave the Hairdressing Students of
Templemore College the edge re-
quired for this competitive industry
hence guranteeing their future cli-
ents ‘on-trend’ looks and creations.

Hi Dorrie, My husband was diag-
nosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis
and had to come off the medication
due to a reaction. He has been using
the rub and is delighted with the re-
sult. His pain has almost completely
gone and it is very easy to apply
with no side effects. Its a fantastic
natural product and he is delighted
to have found something that helps
his condition.
Mary Wall, Limerick
I hope other players find The Rub as
good as my son found it. I am going
to try it on more players who have
persistent injuries. Thank you Dor-
rie.
Michael, Coach, Cork
Dear Mrs Killeen — Thank you for
your letter and herbal remedy, which
was passed on to me by Sir Alex.
Thanks for your interest in Man-
chester United and Roy in particular.
Roy is now back to full fitness with
no pain. I will keep your remedy for
the future.

What others say about ‘The Rub’
Italy is an ideal destination for your
summer holiday with some of the most
amazing scenery on offer. Whether
you choose the sparkling waters of the
Italian lakes, the spectacular rugged
peaks of the Dolomite Mountains or
the historical and cultural sights of the
cities you won’t be disappointed. The
beauty of the Italian lakes is, quite
simply, breathtaking – crystal clear
waters and quaint little lakeside towns
and villages to explore. Lake Garda,
Lake Maggiore and Lake Como make
up Italy’s three major lakes and each
offers wonderful views, restaurants
and bars where you can dine on tasty
pizza whilst taking in the glorious sur-
roundings. No visit to Italy would be
complete without taking in one of the
cultural cities; artistic Florence, ro-
mantic Verona and of course magical
Venice with its maze of canals and wa-
terways. Lakes and mountains, cities
and spas – Italy has it all.
Lake Garda
The largest of the Italian lakes, Lake
Garda enjoys a sheltered position and a
warm, balmy climate - a seductive
combination for a relaxing holiday.
Beautiful towns and villages hug the
lake shore, all with their own unique
charm and breathtaking
scenery.Framed by the Dolomite
Mountains, the landscape is rich and
diverse, from the dramatic mountain
backdrops of the northern villages to
the pretty promenades along the south-
ern shores. The heady scent of lemons
in the air is as tantalising as the towns
and villages of Lake Garda are beauti-
ful. The two great cultural cities of
VERONA and VENICE are within
easy reach.
Venice
Magnificent palaces, elegant piazzas,
tranquil waterways, a spiders web of
canals, hundreds of little bridges and
narrow side streets, the sheer variety of
the beauty of Venice is breathtaking.
Take a stroll around St. Mark's Square,
visit the impressive basilica and the
Doge's Palace or pause for a drink at
Florians to be serenaded by musicians.
Please note: Some walking in Venice
is inevitable. Porters are not always
available on arrival and departure day
and there will will be a short distance
to carry your luggage.
Getting about
The best way to explore Venice's
winding alleyways is by foot. But
there are many 'vaporetti', water buses,
that run along the Grand Canal and
also out to the fascinating islands of
the Venetian Lagoon.
Highlights
The 'sinking city' is bursting with his-
toric culture and appears almost pre-
served in time. Made up of a maze of
tiny side streets hiding tiny botteghe
where you can buy traditional Carnev-
ale masks, and intimate workshops
creating beautiful pieces from local
Murano glass. An alternate and iconic
way to travel in the City of Romance
on the water. Soak up the traditional
gondola ride or for a speedier journey
go for a ride in one of the many water
taxis.

Update on Premier County’s new In-
novative Shockwave Treatment
Premier County Physiotherapy based
in Thurles & Templemore are the only
clinic’s in Tipperary offering Shock-
wave to its patients. Chartered Physio-
therapists Therese Ryan, Emma
Callanan, Eibhlis Cooney and Joanne
Shanahan are now fully trained to ad-
minister this highly innovative, dy-
namic and forward thinking treatment.
The results of Shockwave are evidence
based and groundbreaking in the field
of injury rehabilitation. Here are some
recent testimonials from Patients in
both clinics.
A recent injury to my cervical spine
caused shoulder pain and loss of pow-
er in my left arm. An MRI confirmed
a herniated disc in my neck which was
pressing onto my spinal cord and
meant the simple daily tasks such as
tying my shoelaces and leaning to
wash dishes in the sink were proving
to be difficult. The shock Wave Ther-
apy Course carried out a Premier
County Physiotherapy Clinic has re-
sulted in a complete reversal of my
symptoms. A few short weeks later, I
am pain free and thankfully, I now
have normal arm function. In addi-
tion, the relief of not having to under-
go spinal surgery is immense. I would
not hesitate to recommend Shock
Wave Treatment.
S,Maher, Templemore
I found the Shockwave fantastic for
my long-standing tennis elbow prob-
lem. Since having my course of
Shockwave done, I am flying it and
have not complained since. I would
highly recommend it.
S, Lawlor, Drom
So What Is Shockwave? Shockwave
has been defined as a significant
breakthrough in pain management. It
is a proven technology with clinical
studies reliably reporting a success rate
above 75% in many chronic pain cas-
es.
Shockwave sends pulses into the body
which are generated by compressed air
causing acoustic energy to illicit the
desired effect within the body.
Conditions treated
Dupytrens Contracture
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Patellar tendonipathy
Tennis and Golfers elbow (medial and
lateral epicondylalgia)
Biceps tendinopathy
Supraspinatus tendinopathy
Trochanteric bursitis
Frozen shoulder
Cervical and lumbar spine myofascial
pain
Pelvic and hip pain
If you feel you would benefit from
Shockwave, please contact Jackie or
Maggie and make an appointment to
see any of our Chartered Physiothera-
py Team, Therese, Emma, Eibhlis or
Joanne in Templemore or Thurles.

How would you like to complete one
of Ireland’s oldest and most revered
pilgrim paths this spring, while also
supporting a good cause? You now
have such an opportunity on the 18th
Annual Kerry Charity Challenge
which takes place from Friday, April
4 to Sunday, April 6, 2014 in the
Skellig Hotel, Dingle, and supports
the cause of visually impaired people
and other charities.
Well known Tipperary born hill-
walker and mountain climber, John
G O'Dwyer, who has written the first
guidebook book to all of Ireland’’s
sacred trails titled Pilgrim Paths in
Ireland, will lead the walk along the
ancient Cosán na Naomh Pilgrim
Path that follows the 18km route
from Ventry Strand to the foot of
Brandon Mountain in Co. Kerry. The
tradition of pilgrimage to Brandon
Mountain dates back to when the pa-
gan deity Crom Dubh was ousted
from the mountain by the St
Brendan, who then built an oratory
on the summit. Pilgrimage has con-
tinued to the present day along a
route suitable to almost all fitness
levels. The path winds its way
among the fuchsia-hedged fields and
bare hills between the Atlantic Ocean
and the memorable mountains tow-
ering above Corca Dhuibhne.
The cost for his once-off opportuni-
ty to walk in the footsteps of pilgrims
past with a highly knowledgeable
guide is just €159 euro for the entire
weekend and covers hotel B&B on
Friday and Saturday along with gala
dinner and entertainment Saturday
evening. Further information at

The KEY to a wonderful life is held
within your MIND and it’s Natural
Powers!
There is a way to create positive
change in your life; to achieve that
which you truly desire, to increase
your level of enjoyment, confidence,
comfort and peace of mind. Truly
understanding your mind is empow-
ering beyond belief. Fact is; when
we KNOW our MIND, we connect
with our inherent KNOWING. This
KNOWING is responsible for the
Placebo effect, Healing, Motivation,
Miracles and so much more: it is the
seat of our inherent confidence and
Power. People often tell me: “I have
lost my confidence” or “I have no
confidence”. Not so! Your confident
energy and power is intact within
you, it always has been. Like every
acorn knows it is an oak tree, your
inherent KNOWING, knows the
vastness of your potential.
We all have minds brim full of un-
tapped potential. Einstein was so
right when he said we only use a
small percentage of our mind’s pow-
er. Will you consider exploring this
truth? Come join me for a one-day
seminar/workshop as I present scien-
tific facts, video footage, life stories
and live demonstrations. Come join
me as I provide you with an interac-
tive, dynamic, challenging experi-
ence that is presented in an
entertaining, logical and inspiring
manner. Come open your mind to
your vast potential.
“Forever grateful for this course, it
should be compulsory… Imagine the
world!”

Access The Power Within &
Make 2014 Your Best Year Yet!!
During all our life we make career
choices based on what we think will
satisfy our needs at a particular time.
These choices may or may not turn
out to be correct. One of the main
factors that determines if occupa-
tional choice is correct is the Self.
The Self is a combination of all inter-
nal and environmental factors that
make up the individual (hence the
debate between learned v inherited
behaviour).
We are faced with choices every day.
What to have for breakfast, what to
wear, etc. These choices are trivial in
the context of the choices students
have to make in terms of Subjects,
Career and College. Sometimes
choices are correct other times not.
One of the main reasons an individu-
al makes correct choices is their ca-
pacity to understand themselves as
individual.
Many of us would agree that choos-
ing the right occupation has a major
impact on our sense of Self, in terms
of our self esteem and self fulfilment.
If you have chosen a career that you
find satisfying what happens for you
is you are using your Skills and Apti-
tudes to express you Interests and
Values. In doing this you are better
able to meet the needs and challenges
of the job. This is because there is a
connection between the characteris-
tics of the job and your own at-
tributes. There is congruence
between your personality and the
characteristics of the job. When such
a fit or match exists your needs,
wants, desires, values, interests, and
abilities are matched with and met by
the demand of that job. And as these
are met, you will naturally perform
better, be more satisfied, seek out and
accept challenges, excelling in what
you do. It is also highly likely that
when your career is congruent with
your personality you may find that
you have surrounded yourself with
people of similar personalities, inter-
ests, and skills as your own. This in
turn makes you feel more comforta-
ble in your working environment,
and further enhances your feeling of
career satisfaction.

This year, the County Tipperary
Athletics Board is ninety years in
existence having been formed in
Tobin's Hotel, Clonmel in February
1924. To mark the occasion, a direc-
tory of past officers, club & great
athletes' profiles is being prepared
by a former official, Jimmy Fogary.
It would be greatly appreciated if
former officers could forward de-
tails of the positions they held & the
years involved to Jimmy. A brief
outline of Clubs & the great mo-
ments in their history would also be
appreciated. Details can be e-mailed
to jfskehan2013@gmail.com.
County Tipperary Athletics Board
is 90 Years Old
We’re delighted to see new business-
es emerging throughout Tipperary as
shoots of recovery start to appear.
This week we talk to Joe Corcorcan
who launched Curryquinn Eggs last
November.
Joe worked in Galmoy Mines for over
13 years but like many others across
the county, was made redundant in
2009. As Joe explained “I looked for
work for months but the recession
had just kicked in and it was impossi-
ble to get any work. There was little
work I could apply for and I wasn’t
getting anywhere so I started looking
at the food industry, as I had always
been interested in food. I had a limit-
ed amount of land so I couldn’t make
enough of an income from cattle and
traditional farming. While I was
thinking about a food business, I read
a story in The Farmers Journal about
a new EU directive that was going to
change Irish egg production and the
more I looked into eggs, the more it
seemed like the perfect business for
me.”
It took Joe over 2 years to finish his
market research, business plan and
source funding. Building of the state
of the art facility beside his home
commenced in May 2012 and Joe
started selling the first eggs in No-
vember 2013. It’s been a huge learn-
ing curve for Joe but he has loved
every minute of it. The business start-
ed with 1,000 hens but due to demand
from customers, has now increased to
over 2,000 hens laying daily.
Joe has been delighted with the sup-
port he has got to date from across
North Tipperary and is now supplying
eggs to all great food retailers within
a 20 mile radius of Dolla (including
Nenagh, Thurles, Silvermines, Tem-
plederry, Borrisoleigh, Ardcronery,
Ballycommon and Puckane). As well
as shops and butchers, Curryquinn
Eggs are getting great support from
hotels, restaurants, nursing homes and
of course the great bakers of North
Tipperary. Joe believes the support is
down to locals loving to support local
food produce and the quality of the
fresh Tipperary egg he is producing.
Joe was also greatly encouraged by
the help provided by Rita Guinan and
Eleanor Forrest of the North Tipper-
ary County Enterprise Board.
Buy a box of Curryquinn Eggs (look
out for the green boxes) and taste the
difference! We wish Joe and Curry-
quinn Eggs all the best for the future.

Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I’ve

You this very special one (mention fa-

merciful eyes it will become Your favour,
not mine. Amen. Say this prayer for 3

bottom of my heart to succour me in my
necessity. (Mention your request here).
There are none that can withstand your
power. Oh, Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3
times). Holy Mary, I place this prayer in
your hands. (3 times). Amen. Say this
prayer for 3 consecutive days and then
you must publish it and it will be granted
to you. Never known to fail. I.B.

Series 4, no. 18. Anxiety. More relax-
ation techniques, negative self-talk is
lethal, creating a dangerous, irra-
tional and negative fantasy world.
She also outlines a process of autogen-
ics (autogenic training is a relaxation
technique developed by the German
psychiatrist Johannes Heinrich
Schultz), which seems easy to practice.
Because this is so effective, there is a
warning that it might be unsafe for
people with diabetes, low blood sugar
levels and heart conditions. The reason
for this warning is that blood pressure
may suddenly drop because of these
autogenic exercises. Similarly, if you
feel anxious during or following the
exercises it is best to avoid them. The
following is a basic idea of one exercise
-
Sit in the meditative posture and scan
the body
My right arm is heavy
My left arm is heavy.
Both of my arms are heavy.
My right leg is heavy.
My left leg is heavy,
Both of my legs are heavy.
My arms and legs are heavy and warm
(Repeat three or more times)
My heartbeat is calm and regular
(repeat 3 times)
My solar plexus is warm (repeat 3
times)
My forehead is cool
My neck and shoulders are heavy
(repeat 3 times)
I am at peace (repeat 3 times)
While the workbook by Martha Davis
and her colleagues is very useful,
Bourne’s workbook is one that I would
strongly recommend that you have on
your bookshelf. It has over 400 pages
of extremely helpful material. It would
be useful for people suffering from
anxiety or for counsellors dealing with
those who have this painful condition.
It is particularly good on self-talk
(chapter 8). Negative self-talk is closely
linked to our beliefs and assumptions,
which have roots in our childhood. For
example, the belief ‘I am worthless’
comes from an abusive childhood. If
children do not experience love from
someone, they feel unlovable and
worthless. This core belief is firmly
planted in their core and becomes man-
ifest in adulthood.
At the beginning of this series of arti-
cles I have already mentioned negative
self-talk, but let us explore it further
here. We have seen that negative self-
talk (‘what ifs’) brings us into a fantasy
world that strengthens anxiety. This
fantasy world is built on a foundation of
negative self-talk. It has roots of nega-
tive self-talk. It is important for us to
become aware of our negative self-talk
(that destructive monologue that goes
on incessantly in our mind), because in
a way it can lie outside our awareness.
I believe that it is a mechanical and
instinctive response that has been bred
in our core from childhood. It may
seem based in reality, but it is irrational.
People suffering from anxiety, phobia,
or panic live in this irrational world.
When we live in this irrational, nega-
tive world, it is no wonder that we are
actively avoiding situations in the real
world. For example, if we think that we
are going to blush on a particular occa-
sion, we may remain away. Similarly,
if we manage to attend this particular
occasion we may get the irrational
thought ‘suppose I panic’. The very
word ‘panic’ may bring on the physical
symptoms of a panic attack. Such nega-
tive thinking is a fertile ground for the
noxious weed of anxiety and panic. It
envisages the worst possible scenario.
Series 4, no. 19. Anxiety. challenging
negative self-talk and irrational ide-
as. Alpha brainwaves.
If we have developed into adults beset
by negative and irrational self-talk, we
must learn to confront them. We, there-
fore, become aware of each negative
thought and challenge it. Examine the
type of words you are using in this
inner dialogue. Look at phrases such as
‘I must do something or the conse-
quences will be disastrous’, if I blush
people will think I am stupid and fear-
ful’, ‘if I falter in my speech people will
ridicule me and think that I am a fool’,
and so on. Confront such thoughts with
‘how do I know what people are think-
ing’, ‘so what’, ‘what they think is not
going to kill me’, and so on. Realise,
too, how harmful such thoughts are. Do
you really want to torture yourself with
such irrational thoughts? Do you really
want to make yourself miserable? Part
of identifying your negative thoughts is
to take time to look at them. Write
them down so that you can see how
irrational they are.
