Help! my WiFi is awful!Q How can I improve the Wi-Fi signal in my home? Billy says ....

If the Wi-Fi in your house is poor you might consider a Wi-Fi range extender to push your signal that extra bit further. Or you can add Powerline adapters that use your home’s electrical wiring to create a speedy home network with added new Wi-Fihotspots. The following options are available:

1 TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300MbpsThis is designed to conveniently extend the coverage and improve the signal strength of an existing wireless network to eliminate “dead zones”. With 300Mbps wireless N speeds, Range Extender button, miniature size and wall mounting design, extending a wireless network has never been easier .The disadvantage of this is you will lose some speed while it is repeating the Wi-Fi signal.

2.Ubiquiti UniFi UAP LR 300 Mbps AP/Hotspot - Long Range with Software Control

This is designed to give you long range Wi-Fi .For example I recently installed in a house where there were stone floors and walls on three levels and it covered all of the house. The only downside is it has to cable directly to your modem. It comes with controller software so you can setup a guest account for visitors .

3.Edimax WAP1750 AC1750 Long Range Dual-Band Wall Mount PoE Access Point

This provides both simultaneous 2.4GHz (802.11n, 450Mbps speeds) and 5GHz (802.11ac, 1300Mbps speeds) wireless coverage for maximum flexibility. Most WiFI access points work on 2.4Ghz frequency and on occasion you can get inteference on this band but with this access point which works on the 5Ghz band, this is less likely tohappen.

TRALEE STUDENTS GOT TALENT !!!AnCoisteCróinéara: The pupils of Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí, Tralee, winners at the All-Ireland Final of Scléip 2016, a talent competition organized by Gael Linn for all-Irish Secondary schools nationwide. The event was held in the Clasach theatre, Clontarf, Dublin on Thursday, 4 Feabhra 2016 last, and the young actors came out tops in the Sceitse Nuachumtha ( Newly composed Sketch ) category against tough opposition, to the delight of teacher Michelle D’Altúin and supporters ! Síle Ní Dhuibhne, adjudicator ( front, right ), and Seán Ó Ceallaigh, National Schemes Manager, Gael Linn ( back, right) presented the delighted Tralee students with their prize.DSC4042: Some of the cast of ‘An Coiste Cróinéara’ ( The Inquest ) from Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí, Tralee, pictured during their winning performance at the Scléip Gael Linn 2016 All-Ireland Final in Dublin recently.

TRÓCAIRE THANKS KERRY PEOPLE FOR €180,850 RAISED LAST YEAR.Last year, The Diocese of Kerry raised €180,850 to support Trócaire’s annual Lenten campaign, which according to the charity, has supported thousands of people living in devastating poverty across the developing world.

Ash Wednesday, February 10th 2016 marks the start of the Lenten Campaign when almost one million Trócaire boxes are being delivered across the country.Eamonn Meehan, Executive Director of Trócaire said:

“This year’s Trócaire box is a recognition of ordinary people from places like Kerry, who are doing extraordinary things in the pursuit of justice and a fairer world. Every year we receive tremendous support from Kerry’s school children, teachers, grandparents, clergy, volunteers and families. All of them have something in common. They cannot ignore poverty and they want to make a difference in whatever way they can. Together, they are fighting for justice.”

Last year, thanks to support from people in Ireland, Trócaire supported over 2.4 million people across Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. This included 45,000 poor families who got access to local resources, including land and water. Trócaire protected over 700 human rights defenders who were abused and attacked in Guatemala and over 6,000 women, who survived abuse, got healthcare, counselling and legal aid to get justice.

“Sometimes, it is easy to look at the scale of global poverty and think ‘what can I do?’ said Eamonn Meehan. “This year, our Trócaire box is dedicated to thanking people who say ‘I’ll do what I can’.”This year is Trócaire’s 43rd Lenten campaign. The agency was founded in 1973 by the Catholic Bishops of Ireland to combat extreme poverty and injustice overseas.

Trócaire boxes are available from parishes throughout Kerry, through trocaire.org or by phoning 1850 408 408. As well as donating through the Trócaire box and trocaire.org, people can download a free Trócaire box app for their mobile phones or tablets. The app is available from the Apple App Store or Google Playstore.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: ACCESSING HEALTH CARE ABROADQuestion

I need to get a medical procedure carried out. I have just found out that I can expect to wait over a year for the procedure in Ireland. Can I get my medical costs refunded if I travel to another country in Europe to have this procedure?

Answer

If you are entitled to public health services that are available in Ireland, you can access these services in the European Economic Area (EEA). You will be repaid the cost if you meet the requirements. This is provided for by the Cross-Border Healthcare Directive.

The Directive covers services that are publicly funded and available in Ireland. These include acute hospital services and community-based out-patient care. Other services covered include physiotherapy, ophthalmic, psychology, disability and mental health services. Occupational therapy services and dental and orthodontic services are also covered, but with some exceptions. Treatments that qualify for the Treatment Abroad Scheme (in general, treatments not available in Ireland) are not covered under the Cross-Border Healthcare Directive.

You must be referred to the health service that you require abroad in the same way that you would be referred to public health services in Ireland. This referral may be by your GP (family doctor) or public hospital consultant for example. They may also be able to tell you whether the service you require is covered by the Directive. You can also check with the National Contact Point (details below).

If the treatment involves an overnight stay in hospital, then it will need to be authorised in advance by the Health Service Executive (HSE). For other treatments, you should check whether prior authorisation is required. You pay the costs of treatment and then apply for a refund when you return to Ireland. The amount repaid is the amount that the treatment would cost in Ireland or the cost of your treatment abroad if that is less. It does not include other costs such as travel. The HSE has published refund amounts for different treatments. To get a refund of treatment costs, you and your healthcare provider abroad must complete a HSE form. You then submit it with the healthcare provider invoice and receipt.

Chinese is taught in Mercy Mounthawk by teacher Bernie O Shea to transition year students. “Generation Integration” sold fortune cookies to teachers and students to help raise funds for a monument they want displayed in the Town Park to welcome all cultures and creeds to the town of Tralee. This very innovative group have been working to create unity within diversity of the many cultures that are now present in the school. They want to encourage all cultures both in the town and in the school to embrace the “Green Within” while being enriched by the unique diversity of others. Student Amy Roche who is a member of the group hopes to pitch their idea to the YSI den for further funding at the end of the month.

“My NUMBER 1 priority is to champion your welfare and the interests of the people of Tralee. I have always worked tirelessly to promote job creation and improve the educational, health and infrastructural services in Tralee as well as promoting the Arts.”

Since I entered politics in 1983, I have always given Tralee my top priority and hold a weekly clinic in the Grand Hotel, Denny Street each Monday from 4pm to 6.30pm. My wife, Mary Dowling, grew up in Tralee where her family has been in business for the past 60 years. She teaches in MounthawkSecondary School.

HealthI have been a constant campaigner for improved services at Kerry General Hospital and played a major supportive role in getting the Community Nursing Unit for the town, a facility which I officially opened in 2014.

I campaigned for a number of years for a new A&E, a Mammography Unit, improved cardiovascular services, the extension of the Palliative Care Unit, and other services at the hospital.

EducationAs a former teacher, I have a special interest in education. I am delighted to have been involved directly in the provision of a new Primary school at Blennerville, the extensions to Scoil Eoin NS, Balloonagh, CBS Primary School, and Mercy Mounthawk Secondary School. I was also honoured to have been invited to open the new extension to CBS Secondary School, The Green, Tralee. In the recent Capital Programme for School Building announced by the Government a new school will be provided for Gaelcoláiste Chiarraí in 2017. Also, at primary level, new schools will be provided for Listellick (NS) and Tralee Educate Together. The previous government had made a decision to amalgamate the Kerry Education Service with Limerick Education Service. I was central to getting the decision reversed, as it would have led to a loss of jobs in Kerry and the dismantling of what is a very successful service. I have a long association with Tralee Institute of Technology. As a member of Cabnet, I ensured that Tralee IT will be granted University status, and together with CIT in Cork, will form the new Munster Technological University once specific performance criteria have been achieved. This will be a significant boost for Tralee and Kerry. I have worked closely with the foundation promoting the Centre of Excellence on the IT campus. This will involve an investment of €13 million, and work will commence in 2016. This government provided €7 million in the 2016 Capital Programme for the centre.

I was delighted that work on the Tralee by-pass commenced and was completed during the present government’s time in office and that I had the honour of opening the €75 million project in August 2013 - the biggest investment in any road project to date in the county. I campaigned for the bypass for many years.

Siamsa TireAs Minister for Arts & Heritage and the Gaeltacht I worked very closely with the Board members and Management of Siamsa Tire to ensure its future survival, and to put it on a sustainable financial footing.

Urban RegenerationThe regeneration of the Mitchel’s district in Tralee is recognised as being one of the most successful of its kind in the country. Over €28 million has been spent on the project resulting in the improvement in the quality of life for its residents. I am confident that further funding for a scheme of 11 houses and environmental works will be provided to complete the re-generation project during 2016.

Sport Capital ProgrammeSince the formation of this government in 2011 various sporting organisations in Tralee have been successful in getting funding from the Sports Capital Programme. To date, Tralee sporting organisations has been allocated in excess of €850,000.

FIANNA FÁIL WILL INCREASE THE STATE PENSION BY €30 – BRASSILFianna Fáil Kerry general election candidate John Brassil has said that in Government Fianna Fáil will raise the State Pension, both the Contributory & Non-Contributory, by €30 over the lifetime of the Government.

Commenting on the issue Cllr. Brassil said: “Older people deserve a decent income in retirement and a decent standard of living. Fianna Fáil will deliver for older people and will increase the State Pension by €30. Furthermore, we will raise the Living Alone Allowance to €15. We will also abolish the waste that is Irish water, scrap water charges and abolish prescription charges which are a huge burden for older people.

“Despite their claims to have protected older people, the actions of Fine Gael and Labour tell a very different story. There has been a raft of harsh and regressive cuts and measures that have directly affected the incomes of older people in Kerry. Older people have seen a fivefold increase in prescription fees, changes to the eligibility criteria for medical cards, the axing of the telephone allowance, reductions in the vital Household Benefits Package, the abolition of the Bereavement Grant and the introduction of water charges.

“It is a myth pedalled by the Government that older people have been protected. Older people across Kerry know that that is simply not true. No amount of spin can take away from the fact that under Fine Gael and Labour the rate of deprivation for those aged 65 and over has increased from 9.5% in 2009 to 14.3% in 2014. In Government Fianna Fáil will put an end to Fine Gael’s and Labour’s agenda to target those who have the least to give. Fianna Fáil will deliver for older people in Kerry. We will create a fairer society and we will ensure that under our watch older people are given the resources that they need to live full and independent lives. It’s time we established a threshold of decency in our society.”

DEIDRE CLUNE MEP SUPPORTS GRACE ON HER CAMPAIGN TRAILIreland South MEP Deirdre Clune speaks about the value of Kerry airport and the importance of maintaining investment in services in Kerry.

Ireland South MEP Deirdre Clune, a member of the EU transport committee has spoken about the importance of investing in Kerry airport to continue to drive tourism and inward investment into Kerry. On a visit to the county on Tuesday last, February 9th, she also described how important it is that we invest in facilities like Baile Mhuire in Tralee, which she described as a vital piece of community infrastructure in Tralee.

The Ireland South MEP was in Kerry to canvass support for Tralee woman and Fine Gael general election candidate Grace O Donnell. Clune told students of Presentation Secondary school in Tralee that women would have found it difficult to get on the ticket before gender quotas were introduced but that the quotas are having a generally positive impact in getting more women involved in politics.

WHY NOT CALL INTO OUR SHOWROOMS!

Hello my beautiful friends, hope you’re all having a great weekend.

With this weekend being Valentines I said I’d talk about some cute DIY last minute gifts to make that special someone.

If you’re single, take a look at my most recent post on Bex-blah.com for tips on how to rock Valentine’s Day like the strong independent woman/man that you are! Back to makeup and other non love related goodness next week!

1. JAR OF LOVE - This one has to be my favourite, it’s simple yet time consuming but very effective. Get a glass jar, it doesn’t have to be anything fancy you can literally use an old pasta sauce jar just make sure it’s clean and doesn’t smell funny! When you’ve got your clean jar get some paper, it can be any paper you want, coloured, plain, whatever. Then comes the time consuming part, you’re going to fill the jar with little notes. These can be anything, funny quotes, date ideas, reasons why you love him/her, song lyrics, get creative! Once you’re done, decorate the jar however you see fit. You’ve just created an adorable gift that will always be guaranteed to make your special someone smile.

2. DATE CALENDAR - Another fab idea to show you care. A date calendar for every month of the next year. It’s easy to make and shows that you care and also that you don’t see yourself and your guy/gal splitting anytime soon. Get two a4 pieces of card(so that it’s more sturdy) and on each piece of cards you’re going to have 6 months of the year. You can use smaller pieces of card or paper for the months and create a opening shutter effect. Inside each month write a different date idea, it can be anything you want, Disney movie day, water fight, camping, dinner on you, bowling, road trip, etc. Then at the beginning of each month you can open the little door of the month and you have the month to go on that date. You could also do this in a key ring style, it’s completely up to you!

3. VOUCHER BOOK - Think of the things he/she loves to do and write them all down in vouchers with little expiry dates for each voucher. A voucher could be “You get to choose the movie”, “dinner on me”, “get out of an argument free”, “1hr of sky sports complain free” you get the idea... You can make the vouchers as PG or non PG as you wish... A good way to earn some brownie points.

If you’re not the creative type hopefully this little list helps you out and makes you look totally adorable and thoughtful, just make sure they don’t read this page!

Bexblah Fitness!HELLO MY STRONG FRIENDS. HOPE YOU’RE ALL HAVING A GREAT WEEK. Since last week was all about food and macros, this week I said I would focus on two very important subjects. Taking rest days and not relying on the scales.

TAKING REST DAYS:

When you’re new to the gym or an exercise program, it’s easy to go all out and say you’re going to go to the gym everyday, sometimes twice a day. But if you do that and don’t take rest days, you will more than likely burn out or give up. When you’re new to regular exercise, start small and build it from there. Start with 3 days, then build if slowly to 5/6 depending on what suits you and your goals. I myself started with 3 days a few weeks ago and now I’m up on 6 days a week. But if my body is extra tight or sore for some reason I will do 5 instead. As we work out, we place greater strain on our muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and joints. Our immune system is activated when there are muscle tears or joint strains, but if the body doesn’t come out of continual practice, this system doesn’t have the time to catch up and start patching everything back up. Thus, if you’re building muscle, you should take a day off from lifting the same region so the body has time to repair the muscles you’re working. If you don’t, you will be more prone to injury. I just find it’s best to listen to my body, if I feel too sore or stiff to workout, I will either do a low impact cardio or take a rest day.

DONT RELY 100% ON THE SCALES.

What if I told you that this girl is 2 pounds heavier in the picture on the right. But she looks leaner, why is she heavier? Because the scales isn’t always a direct indication of how healthy you are or how lean you are. Obviously in some cases, people need to lose some weight initially, but sometimes focusing on the scales can do more harm than good, it can leave you disheartened and wondering why you’ve gained one measly pound or why the number hasn’t gone down. Within my first 10 days of going back to the gym and eating right I lost 7 pounds, I know that’s not 7 pounds of fat, some of that was water weight that I was holding onto. So instead of focusing on the number on the scales it’s better to focus on your measurements, fat percentage and how your clothes are fitting you! Of course you can weigh yourself every now and again, but don’t rely on it.

By the way the girl in the picture is Siobhan, or more popularly known as OHFitness on Instagram, she’s Irish too!

Chocolate... the food of Love!

CHOCOLATE-COOKIE CRUNCH TRIFLE

INGREDIENTS INGREDIENTS

Any kind of cookie works as a layer in this decadent and super-chocolaty trifle

• 2 cups cream • 2 cups milk • 1 cup granulated sugar • 1/4 cup cornstarch • 1/4 cup cocoa powder • 2 large eggs • 6 ounce bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (1 1/2 cups) • 1 tablespoon butter • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt • Whipped cream • 1. 2 cups cream, chilled • 2. 1/2 cup icing’ sugar • 3. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract • 4. Pinch of sea salt • 5. 4 cups coarsely chopped crunchy cookies, such as Oreos, Thin Mints,

shortbread, biscotti,

1. Make the Pudding In a medium saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups of the cream with the milk and granulated sugar and bring to a bare simmer over moder-ately low heat, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, sift the cornstarch and cocoa powder into a medium bowl, then whisk in the eggs and the remaining 1/4 cup of cream to form a smooth paste. Gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot milk into the cornstarch mixture, then scrape the mixture into the saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 30 minutes.

2. Put the chopped chocolate in a heatproof medium bowl and set a fine sieve over it. Strain the pudding over the chocolate and let stand for 3 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then whisk in the butter and salt. Press a sheet of cling film directly on the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.

3. Make the Whipped Cream In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the cream with the icing sugar, vanilla and salt until firm, about 5 minutes.

4. In a trifle bowl, make 4 layers each of the pudding, whipped cream and crushed cookies. Serve

HAZELNUT-AND-CHOCOLATE MERINGUE CAKE

• 1 1/2 cups hazelnuts (7 ounces) • 6 large egg whites, at room temperature • Pinch of salt • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract • 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (6 ounces) • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled • 3 cups cream • 1/4 cup icing sugar • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Preheat the oven to 180 and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Draw two 8-inch rounds on one sheet of the parchment and one 8-inch round on the other 1. Spread the hazelnuts on a third baking sheet and toast for 12 to 14 minutes,

until browned. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a towel and rub to remove the skins. Chop the nuts. Lower the oven temperature to 120.

2. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the egg whites with the salt at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the granulated sugar at high speed until stiff. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Fold in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips. Pour the melted chocolate down the side of the bowl and gently fold until the meringue is lightly marbled.

3. Spread the meringue in the drawn circles and bake for 2 hours and 30 min-utes, until crisp; rotate the pans halfway through baking. Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar and let the meringues cool completely.

4. In the bowl of the standing mixer, beat the cream with the icing sugar until firm. Remove the meringues from the parchment paper. Spread the whipped cream on the layers and stack them. Refrigerate or freeze the cake overnight. Cut into wedges and serve at room temperature. Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !

A MAN IS DISPLEASED WITH THE SOUP HE HAS ORDERED IN A RESTAURANTSo he calls for the waiter, and says to the waiter,” Waiter, could you please come over and taste my soup?”To which the waiter replies,”Why, sir? Is it too sour? I could add some sugar to it if you want.”“Just come and taste it.”“Why? Has it turned cold? I could get it heated for you.”“Please just come and taste it.”“But why, sir? Is the soup too sour? I could serve you a new bowl if you want.”“No, it’s not that. Just please come over and taste it.”The waiter reluctantly agrees and walks over to the man’s table, but finds he cannot drink the soup.“But sir, how can I drink the soup if there’s no spoon?”“Exactly.”

After the doctor thinks a bit, he replies to the guy “I will tell you a story.”

“There was a man who likes hunting. Everyday he picks his rifle and goes hunting. But, one day he accidentally picked his umbrella instead of the rifle. While walking through the trees, he saw a deer just across the way . He positioned his umbrella, aimed at the deer, and bang ! The dear is dead on the ground.”

The guy is surprised. He interrupts the doctor: “No way, this is impossible, someone else must have taken a shot on the deer.” Doctor: “Absolutely!!!”

ROUNDYS BAR, THE ONLY PUB IN KERRY SERVING UP THE AWARD WINNING BEER -MCGARGLES IPA More than 60 exhibitors from 20 counties across Ireland, alongside six international breweries and distilleries, showcased their finest brews to a crowd of over 8,000 craft beverage fans over the weekend.Top brewers from around the world competed for gold, silver and bronze medals in eight different categories of beer, to be voted the best examples of each style in their category. The highlight of the event was the prestigious Dublin Craft Beer Cup competition, which received hundreds of entries from Irish and International breweries. After two days of blind tasting by a panel of independent industry veterans, the winner was announced as McGargles Francis’ Big Bangin IPA, an American style IPA brewed in Ireland by Kildare based brewery, Rye River Brewing Company. The beer is brewed using only traditional floor malted Maris Otter barley and hopped to hell with tropical aromatic varieties like Mosaic and Simcoe. Stewart Lyons of Roundys says “we are delighted to stock this award winning craft beer in Tralee...I dont believe that anyone else is stocking it in Kerry so its a bit of uniqueness for us that really goes with the uniqueness that is Roundys , “Roundys Bar , Milk Market Lane , (opp .

CAHERNANE HOUSE HOTEL IN KERRY FOR €3MCBRE and local agent Tom Spillane & Co are seeking more than €3m for the Cahernane House Hotel in Kerry.The hotel on Muckross Road near Killarney is said to be an “exceptionally well located hotel in a stunning picturesque setting only 2 km from Killarney town centre”.“With a tree lined avenue entrance the hotel is situated on its own private grounds which extend to 2.65 ha (6.5 acres) and overlooks Killarney National Park and lakes. The hotel is on the popular Muckross Road and walking distance from the town,” CBRE said.The four star hotel is described as providing guests with “the best of old world character and modern hotel luxury in a scenic setting”. The hotel includes 38 bedrooms located in the original house and a more recent addition linked with glazed double height conservatory.Adjacent to the hotel is a two storey stone façade former Managers House which would suit conversion to self catering use subject to planning The hotel is being sold on behalf of the Browne Family.

SUGAR DOLLS TO EXPANDSugar Dolls Nail and Beauty bars has expanded its operations in Dublin with a second store acquired in the Blanchardstown Centre and a flagship unit on Henry Street. Both of these opened just before Christmas.The chain also has outlets in the Pavilions Shopping Centre in Swords and Liffey Valley. Simon Plunkett of CBRE, who is acting for Sugar Dolls, says the chain is looking for further stores and its priority is to secure units in Cork and Galway over the short to medium term.

LIFFEY VALLEY PLANS MAJOR EXTENSION AND ICE RINKThe owners of Liffey Valley shopping centre in west Dublin have submitted a planning application for a major extension of the complex to include an ice skating arena and up to 60 new shops.The application, devised by the centre’s manager and co-owner, Hines Ireland, also seeks permission for 1,800 car parking spaces, as well as the development of a major plaza under a glazed canopy.The ice skating arena will be of “Olympic” standard, according to Hines, and will have capacity for 2,500 spectators and be capable of hosting ice-skating competitions, ice hockey matches and live entertainment performances. The level of investment in the proposed extension was not revealed, but it is understood to be in excess of the €28 million spent on an extension at the west end of the centre that is currently being built, due for completion later this year. The latest extension application includes new retail space of about 22,000 sq metres, with the potential for a new anchor tenant-type store as well as a large number of new smaller shops and food outlets.“ The company’s research suggests that if all planned extensions in west Dublin shopping centres were completed, it would increase the available retail space by 12 per cent in the next five years.“Customer spend and population growth will outstrip this, so we are making this application now as economic growth accelerates to avoid the kind of lack of supply we are currently seeing in office and residential markets.”Karen O’Sullivan, the president of the Ice Skating Association of Ireland, said the proposed new arena would be “the permanent home” of the sport in Ireland and would help develop Irish skaters as competitors on the international stage. Hines, as the centre’s manager, submitted the application of behalf of itself and the centre’s co-owners, Grosvenor Group and a HSBC fund.

NEW MERCEDES E-CLASS REVEALEDMercedes opens the Detroit motor show with a new version of its E-class executive saloon. It might have conservative looks, but the technology has taken a leap forwardIn a fast changing and jittery world, it can be nice to find something that hasn’t changed much at all. And certainly Mercedes-Benz’s new, 10th-generation E-class saloon looks very similar to its predecessor. But then why mess with a winning formula?The E-class defines Mercedes like the 3-series does BMW. It carries more advanced technology than the flagship S-class, makes more profit than the smaller, cheaper C-class and is an exemplar of the Stuttgart firm’s engineering-led ethos.We got to see the car at a glitzy cocktail party on the eve of the show. A sneak look at the spec sheet reveals that under the surface, the new E-class is packed with new stuff, including a replacement for Mercedes’ frugal-but-clattery 2.1-litre diesel engine. The new E220d uses an all-aluminium, 1,950cc, 195bhp unit capable of emissions of 102g/km. It’s joined by the carry-over 184bhp/132g/km 2.0-litre petrol in the E200, plus a 258bhp/133g/km 3.0-litre diesel and the new E350e plug-in hybrid, which has a combined output of 279bhp and official CO2 emissions of just 49g/km. All the cars at launch will use Mercedes’s excellent nine-speed automatic gearbox and will be rear-wheel drive. Conventional teel suspension is further developed for better ride quality and comes with a variety of ride heights and stiffness, and there’s the option of Mercedes’ new multi-chamber air suspension. Dimensions are slightly tweaked, with the new car 43mm longer than its predecessor. Meanwhile, new LED active headlamps automatically shield other road users from glare, and there are optional “stardust-effect” rear LED lamps. Inside, there’s a complete rework, with new seats and an all-new dashboard design that thankfully brings to an end the German practise of just shoving a tablet-style screen into the middle of the dash. Two screens are joined and provide the driver’s instrument binnacle and the satnav and entertainment screen. There are new touch-sensitive controls and a touch pad, but not touchscreens as Mercedes doesn’t think them safe.The E-class will also park itself remotely when the space is tight and there’s a new mobile-phone supported car-to-car communications system, which warns of hazards ahead. The rest of the kit list is lengthy, but inductive mobile-phone charging, use of a smartphone as a key and LED interior lamps are on there. There’s also newly developed side airbags, which inflate before impact to move passengers away from the side of the car, and an extraordinary system which plays a note through the car’s speakers to stimulate the acoustic reflex in the inner ear to protect the delicate parts of ear from the noise of a crash. Er, like wow!We’ll drive this new E-class in March and you can buy it in late spring.(DAILY TELEGRAPH)

THE DRINKS ARE ON ME! ROLLS-ROYCE RELEASES A LIMITED EDITION £26,000 COCKTAIL-MAKING HAMPER THAT COSTS MORE THAN A BMWFeeling parched? Want to whip up a quick cocktail?This hand-built hamper has everything you’ll need to mix up your own drink, but it will cost you more than a BMW 3 Series.That’s because this is the Rolls-Royce of cocktail hampers, created by the luxury car maker themselves.

And if you’re thinking about getting someone a last-minute stocking filler, you better move fast — only 15 will be made. The price: £26,366.

According to Rolls-Royce, the hamper itself takes eight weeks to make and is meticulously hand-crafted from American walnut wood and the same leather with which the manufacturer adorns its car interiors.And that’s not just any leather; Rolls-Royce won’t use female cowhides because of stretchmarks from pregnancy. and all the bulls have to be sourced from high altitude locations so the skin hasn’t been pierced by mosquito bites.Before piecing together the set, the Goodwood-based brand consulted with experts from Dorchester Collection’s London Hotels to ensure the hamper was kitted out with everything you’d need to stir-up your own cocktail.The price tag is the equivalent of 1,300 £20 cocktails at the Ritz.

MOTORING QUESTIONS WITH HONEST JOHN (DAILY TELEGRAPH )

CANVASSING OPINIONQ: My art dealer wife is seeking to replace her Mitsubishi Space Star – her third – with something that offers the same sort of flexible boot space and ease of loading. What would you recommend? MLA: By the sounds of things, she needs an MPV, and I’d try the Citroën C4 Picasso (no pun intended). A tall, compact SUV such as the Skoda Yeti may also be just the job. HJ

SMALL TALKQ: I want to buy a small van for short delivery runs. So why do almost all vans have diesel engines? Do they not have potentially troublesome particulate filters? RMA: Yes, they have DPFs. You can get 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engines in small Ford vans and VW will soon sell a petrol Caddy. HJ

VALENTINE’S WEEKEND BATTLE OF THE LADIES:Tralee’s Team Garveys welcome Castleislands Team American Style Den Joes to the Mounthawk Gym on Friday night at 8.30pm with a win very important to both sides. Tipoff is at 8.30pm in what promises to be a cracker.The top 6 in the Women’s Division 1 sees Team Garvey’s in 6th place, the final play-off place, with 25 points from 13 games. They have a 3 point lead and a game in hand over Marble City Hawks in 7th place. So it looks like the two play-off spots for the Kerry sides are secured but both will want to finish as high as possible.At present Team Den Joes American Style have 26 from 12 games played so a win in Tralee would move them into 4th place. However if Garvey’s can get a home win they will move above Team Den Joes. It does look like NUIG will top the table after the League phase with the second spot being fought out by the James Fleming coached Fr Mathews and Ulster Rockets. Second spot is vital as it give the team a semi-final spot with the teams finishing 3rd to 6th inclusive playing in a quarter finals round where 3rd plays 6th and 4th plays 5th. New coach sees improvement but not a win:With Liam Culloty taking over from Mark Bernsen in mid-season it certainly disrupted Team Garvey momentum. However the side show good improvement despite losing 63-74 away to Ulster Rockets. There was only a point between the sides after the first 10 minutes with the home side leading 16-15 and they had opened the gap to 4 at the break 35-31. With Rheanne O’Shea, Sinead Mackessy, Laura Hoffman and Amy Fleming on the mark Team Garvey’s stayed in touch. However the Ulster side hit a purple patch and opened a 13 point gap at one stage. Imperials lost Deirdre Geaney to injury and while Deirdre Kearney and Cassandra Buckley created openings these were spurned.However Garvey’s did very well to rally, led by Buckley and O’Shea, and they tightened their defence and hit big baskets to bring the gap down to 3 points with just 3 minutes remaining. However they just ran out of steam and the home side took the points. But there was plenty for Liam Culloty to be happy about as they enter the business end of the season. Team: Sinead Mackessy 14, Rheanne O Shea 17, Amy Fitzgerald 16, Cassandra Buckley 7, Laura Hoffman 3, Deirdre Geaney 4, Deirdre Kearney 2, Caoimhe Teahan, Rebecca Ryan. Come along and support the girls: All involved with Team Garvey’s are looking for a big crowd to come along on Friday night to Mounthawk Gym at 8.30pm for a vital game in the basketball season.

MORE SILVERWARE FOR ST BRENDAN’S:With the Men’s Intermediate Cup in the cabinet St Brendan’s Basketball club added another trophy with the Boy’s Under 12 Cup. They won a tight encounter 34-30 over Currow’s St Bridget’s in the Pres Gym in Killarney.Eddie Sheehy and Jack Doyle helped the

Tralee side into a 12-8 lead at the end of the first quarter but St Bridget’s took over in the second quarter and led 18-16 at the break. The game remained tight and after the third quarter St Brendan’s led by 2. Donal O’Sullivan and Eddie Sheehy led a strong defensive unit that helped St Brendan’s just pull away and win by 4. Donal O’Sullivan accepted the KABB Cup amid great celebrations for the squad and coaches Tony Griffin and Pa Carey. Team: Donal O’Sullivan (C), Dean Farrell, Tom Flavin, Coren Hughes, Simon Carey, Cillian Litchfield, Eddie Sheehy, Jack Doyle, Cian Griffin, Andrew Wallace, Jack Doyle.Boys 14 Division 1: St Brendan’s defeated KCYMS 38-30 in the u14 County League. The Tralee boys were down 1 at the half 14-15 thanks to good scores from Tadgh Reen, Jimi O’Sullivan and Rap Bulvydas. Bulvydas then took over and hit a superb 22 points out of 24 to set up the win. This sees St Brendan’s keep up the pressure on leaders St Mary’s who they play this Sunday.In other results St Brendan’s Ladies have lost out on a place in the Division 2 Cup final going down 44-53 to Glenbeigh Falcons while in the Boys u16 Division 3 it finished St Brendan’s 25-39 Tralee Tigers.

TRALEE TIGERS NOTES:The Tralee Tigers u16 boys played away to St Brendan’s and following a fast paced match the Tigers held on to win 39-25 while the Academy boys took on TK Bobcats and were the stronger on the day winning 24-8.The u12 Boys travelled to Castleisland to take on a tough St Mary’s squad. Tigers scored with seconds to spare to send the game to extra time where the Tralee side pulled ahead to win 32-28 following a cracking game by both sides. The Tigers u14 Boys took on Glenbeigh in the KABB Division 3 Plate Final played in Killarney. The Tralee boys played well throughout the game and finished on a high winning 54-45. The club is proud of the whole squad and the coaches.

BEST OF LUCK TO MERCY MOUNTHAWK:Mercy Mounthawk will have played in the U19 Boys Colleges ¼ Final by the time we go to print. They are up against Patrician College Newbridge in the National Basketball arena. The semi-final were due to be played on Thursday afternoon and if the qualify they will be in an All Ireland final on Wednesday February 24th.

COLD NO DETERRENT TO SWIMMERS:While last Sunday morning was dark, wet and cold it couldn’t deter the hardy members of the Tralee Bay Swimming Club who took to the waters off Fenit for their weekly swim. 19 swimmers went into the water which was at 5.9c – the coldest morning since last year but as it should be for February.

HALL OF FAME FOR WEESHIE:While he may be from Killarney I think it would be remiss of us here in the Advertiser not to congratulate Terrace Talk presenter, former player and referee, writer, commentator and broadcaster Weeshie Fogarty on his recent McNamee Hall of Fame Award.

IRISH CAPS FOR TRALEE RUGBY LADIES:There was great pride in the town rugby and indeed all sporting circles with the call up of Ciara Griffin, Zoe Grattage and Ciara O’Connor to the Irish Ladies Rugby squad for the 6 Nations campaign.

MORE RUGBY NEWS:Well done to the u18’s who have now made it 5 wins from 5 following their latest win over Fethard in the Bank Of Ireland Munster League. The Tralee boys won 36-5. Next up is a clash with Bantry.The u18 Tralee / Listowel Girls have qualified for the Munster Final following a last minute try and conversion that saw them beat Carrick-On-Suir 19-12.

PARK LOOK FOR FAI LAST 8 SPOT:The Park hope to secure a Last 8 spot in the FAI Youths Cup this weekend. They take on Regional United in Limerick at 2pm in Dooradoyle.

ST BRENDAN’S / OAKPARKCOMMUNITY GAMES:U13 Boys Soccer: The boys put in a great effort at the finals in Milltown and went through the competition unbeaten but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to progress in the competition. All the squad did well in their 2 all draw with Ballymac, it was the same score-line against Annascaul, they beat Fenit/Churchill 4-1 and then drew 1 all with eventual qualifiers Beaufort. Most of this squad are underage again next year which bodes well for the future.Team: Seán O’Connell, Kieran O’Connor, Seán O’Connor, Edward Sheehy, Aaron Delahunty, Luke Casey, Cillian Murphy and Cianan Cooney.Basketball: Training has commenced in Balloonagh School Hall for u11’s mixed basketball and players are asked to bring e2 to cover the cost of training.

will be much appreciated. Dates: Those from the area and interested in any of the following should contact the club as soon as they can: Music, solo and group on February 20th, Boys Indoor soccer February 21st, Art and Handwriting on February 27th and Model making on March 20th.

SCOR SUCCESSES FOR TRALEE CLUBS:The Kerry County Final of Senior Scor took place in Castleisland and there was success for Na Gaeil in the Ballad Group and the Brothers Pearce Churchill Club in the Quiz. This was a cracking contest with Churchill and Rathmore level on 74 points each. They will still level after 10 extra questions so it went to the rapid fire round and Churchill took the win. They will represent Kerry in the All Ireland finals on April 2nd in the INEC in Killarney. Scor na bPaisti: All Tralee clubs are invited to give their primary school members the opportunity to take part in Scor na bPaisti. The District winners must be in by March 26th with the county semi-finals for North Kerry set for April 9th.
