Hollywood Oscars
News of the Hollywood Oscar nominations
sparked excitement on the set of Chris O'Dowd's new
Sky series 'Moone Boy'. "I'm going to the Oscars,"
screamed actor Peter McDonald who plays Father Liam
Moone in 'Pentecost', which he wrote and directed, when
he learned it had been nominated. "Chris O'Dowd
was filming me at the time because there is a documentary
being done on everybody whose short was nominated, and
they wanted footage of the moment I got the news so
Chris generously picked up a camera, and started shooting,"
Mr McDonald said. Peter and Chris spent a great
week in Boyle recently filming segments for the
upcoming "Moone Boy" six-part sitcom on Sky
TV

Will you live to be 100?
Scientists claim they can predict whether
someone will live to 100 with up to 85 per cent accuracy
after developing a genetic test for healthy ageing.
Researchers came up with the complex formula after studying
the DNA of centenarians and identifying common genetic
variations which may have contributed to their unusual
longevity. Read more [here...] Paddy
asked his doctor "Will I live to be 100?"
The doctor replied "Do you smoke tobacco or drink
alcoholic beverages or take drugs?" "Do you
eat red meat?" "Do you spend time in the sun,
play sport or exercise?" "Do you gamble, drive
fast cars, or have a lot of sex?" "No,"
Paddy replied. "I don't do any of those things."
The doctor looked at Paddy and asked, "Then why
do you care about living to 100?"

While I'm at it I should congratulate you on your Websites
- the forum you have provided for so many organizations
in Boyle, your constant vigilance in pointing out matters
that need improvement whether major or minor, your independence
of mind and your efforts to promote Boyle and pointing
out its many attractions. Chris has clearly taken his cue from
you and never misses an opportunity to promote Boyle
- and his success in bringing Moone Boy to Boyle is
surely the culmination of his and your efforts in this
regard. Moone Boy will hopefully be seized in
both hands by those responsible for promoting Boyle
as a tourist attraction, a commercial centre and, indeed,
as a location for future film makers."

Does Soap Kill Germs?
Plain soap does not kill pathogens
(harmful germs)!!! We take many things for granted!
For one, we assume that soap not only cleans, softens,
moistureises and leaves a pleasant smell, but that it
also kills germs. Let's state the fact again - Plain
soap does not kill pathogens (harmful germs). Not only
are we foolong ourselves, but we should be aware
that - Antibacterial soaps should be avoided as much
as possible. There are many support documents online.

Regardless of our manmade influence
on climate, the world's weather is in a constant state
of change. Where we are headed cannot be defined. Recently, Met Eireann's station in Malin
Head recorded a 10-minute mean windspeed of 126kmh ...a
hurricane-force wind. This exceeds the previous record
windspeed record for Malin Head recorded on St Stephen's
Day 1998. Regarding extremes, the highest air
temperature recorded in Ireland was + 33.3°C at Kilkenny
Castle 26th June 1887. The lowest recorded air temperature
was -19.1°C measured at Markree Castle, Co. Sligo on
16th January 1881 There have been about 11
dfferent "Ice Ages", with the last only 11,000
years ago. At times the ice layer over Ireland was up
to 1 kilometer thick Right now we are living in a mini
ice age. During the "Great Ice Age" over a
third of the earth was covered in ice.

The following are transcripts from letters
exchanged between Boyle Town Councillor Frank Geelan

Imaginative conservation project will be a very welcome
boost to visitor attractions for the foreseeable future.
I feel that it is vitally important to enhance access
to Boyle Abbey in and around the site especially for
elderly people, disabled people and wheelchairs." Minister
Brian Hayes TD replied (9th December): "The
existing gravelled surface and access route is provided
as a temporary facility. Additional site preservation,
archaeological investigation and visitor access works
are proposed for 2012. Provision for level access, as
proposed by you, will be incorporated into the scheme."
