Letter: Embracing technology
Dear Madam,
Warm glow of satisfaction from the freezing set of 'Black Ice'
This time last year I was on the set for the filming of Black Ice. When I say I was on the set, I mean I was perished standing about in the main street in Dromahair on a raw, freezing cold February night. The traffic was temporarily stopped and the cameras were rolling.
Forget Obama, grandmother Myrlie is my hero for this year

Detox at the Claudia Mcgloin Clinic while you lose weight
CHRISTMAS is a time for celebrating which includes numerous parties where we tend to over eat, over drink and over indulge in rich foods that we would never normally eat so much of or in such a short space of time. Each New Year we set off in search of the perfect detox to rid our bodies of the weeks of havoc we have wreaked!
Lose two stone in ten weeks
THE TRUTH is there are 3 keys to a genuine weight loss (real fat loss!) plan – diet, exercise and metabolism correction. All 3 keys interconnect-one will not work without the other! Your metabolism is the most powerful of all the 3 keys-it is the 'switch' that controls everything else. In most people this switch is off. Metabolism problems like slow thyroid, type 2 Diabetes, sluggish liver, hormone imbalances, PCOS, Endometriosis, infertility and digestive problems like constipation, IBS and Diverticulitis will limit or stop your weight loss, no matter how much dieting or exercise you do.
Environ Vitamin A cream is new to Westend Clinic
DR Des Fernandes, a leading plastic surgeon from Cape Town, South Africa, has devoted more than 30 years to researching skin. Fernandes' research into the skin and skin cancer was motivated by the loss of two young melanoma patients in the 1980s. This led to the creation of a skincare line Environ which is crammed with higher doses of vitamin A than others, which he officially launched as the brand Environ in 1990.
No mercy shown to slain Garda

Modernising the Irish home – with costly weekly instalments
YOU'RE probably done spending by now on the January Sales and with luck you nabbed some great bargains. I was taking a look around town myself the other day when I walked past PJ Coleman's empty shop. It saddened me to see the place shut. It also made me think of a time when even at the sale price very few people bought bigger goods outright.
Life's a beach for those lucky enough to live here
