Hollow Knight- an indie game well worth the price

Games Reviews Wed, Feb 19, 2020

Hollow knight was developed and published by Team Cherry in 2017 and is available on X-Box One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. This game genuinely surprised me with its scale and quality especially because of its low price. Going as low as fifteen euro on steam, the game proves that it is well worth it. So far I've clocked in about fifty hours exploring the expansive world and I don't even think I'm done yet.

The cinema site, Salthill

Thu, Feb 13, 2020

Lenaboy is the name of one of the townlands of Salthill. It derives either from the Irish Léana Buí, the yellow fields/land or Léana Báite, the sunken or drowned land. The latter explanation is the most likely as we look at this photograph of “The Cinema Site” taken from the main road at Kingshill in Salthill. It was so-called locally because James Stewart & Co tried to build a cinema there in the 1940s. Unfortunately, because of the boggy nature of the ground, the pylons they were sinking in order to put in a foundation kept sinking and disappearing and so the project was abandoned. In the 1960s an enormous amount of filling was gradually put into the site, and eventually, John King built a block of apartments there.

Broken angels tell a tale

Thu, Feb 13, 2020

Living in Ireland during the mid 17th century was a frightening and a bloody time. Following the extreme political crisis that resulted in civil war in England, Ireland was plunged into a period of despair that would lead to the surrender of Galway, and the beginning of its gradual demise. The invasion by Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army, a ruthless exterminating machine, in 1649, led by Cromwell himself, not only destroyed all military opposition, besieged and ransacked towns, and imposed harsh penal laws on Catholic survivors, but it changed the demographic of the cities and lands with the resettlement of faithful Cromwellian generals, and their families. And in a new twist: tens of thousands of Irish people were transported to plantations in the West Indies, and elsewhere.

Fuel your fitness with Evergreen Healthfoods

Thu, Feb 13, 2020

It has been about six weeks since we all vowed to be healthier in the New Year. The weather so far this year has made it a testing time for those committed to fitness, better nutrition, and other health-related goals.

What would your furniture say about you?

Thu, Feb 13, 2020

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Dress how you want to be addressed”? When we get dressed every day it can be a direct reflection of how we feel, what our schedules might entail, and even reflect our personality. Did you ever notice how we might dress in darker colours in winter than we wear in spring? Well, if you think your clothes reflect you, imagine what your home décor says about you. It is true what they say, when our words fail, our interior speaks for us. Today, EZ Living Furniture sheds some light on what we are saying, or not saying, by the décor we choose to surround ourselves by.
