\n———————————————————————<\/p>\n
Hi all!<\/p>\n
Who “stole” my week? ;-) It doesn’t feel like it was 7 days ago when I wrote the last newsletter! Are the days just passing by faster and faster? Luckily there is lots of good news. This week I realised that it was still bright AND sunny after 17:00, so the days are definitely getting longer and maybe that will make them last longer as well. :-)<\/p>\n
How was your week? Did you make some progress with whatever you want to achieve? Are you still on the right path to your goals?
\nMany of you know that I am very interested in goal setting (and achieving) and that I have trained with the “Chris Howard Training” company and am a certified NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Master Practitioner. If you are interested in that area yourself or if you need help in setting your goals and working towards what you want to achieve, there is good news: Christopher Howard, the trainer, speaker and entrepreneur that travels around the world to teach and talk about how to achieve your goals, is coming to Dublin again soon. There are indications that this will be the ONLY free event that he is running in Dublin for the whole year. It is a 2.5-day training called “Breakthrough to Success” and it has helped thousands of people. I will tell you a bit more about it in about two weeks time but bookings are coming in fast and spaces are limited, I am told, and if you are interested you can register here: http:\/\/www.breakthroughtosuccess.eu\/?af=CLA1035324 and if you want to know a bit more about it, check this short video http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9XIgm6YcNZ0 It will be on in Dublin on 19-21 March (Now starting Friday evening instead of Friday morning!) and I will be there again! Because I heard it looks like the event is selling out, I am telling you today already. I think it is a brilliant event, but there is another bonus: If you go to the event, you will help the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events), because the organisers are prepared to make a substantial donation if 150 of you register via this link http:\/\/www.breakthroughtosuccess.eu\/?af=CLA1035324 and come to the event!<\/p>\n

\nI got a mail last week from a new Event Guide subscriber and he was wondering if the Event Guide is for him because he is not the youngest anymore. I know that many events are for children, but apart from that nearly all other events (ok, maybe not the nightclub\/loud music stuff :) ) are more than suitable for ALL ages. If you have any specific preferences let me know and I will see if I can help! Just send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with the subject ALL AGES.<\/p>\n
Last week I didn’t get a chance to write something in the “Feel Good Slot” that normally is at this place, so I had a good look for something this week and by coincidence I got a mail that mentioned a poem\/essay by Sonny Carroll. It is quite long, but well worth the read! Sonny just had come through some trouble in her own life when she wrote it in 1999. I think there is a LOT of good stuff in it about all types of life lessons and while not everything might be applicable to you, I suggest you take a few minutes and read through her description of “Awakening”:
\nhttp:\/\/www.kalimunro.com\/Awakening.html<\/p>\n
Our Dublin Event Guide Community is growing continually and we are getting closer and closer to 6000 members, but as you now, my goal is to grow it to 7500 before the end of the year! So your help is needed: Please print these Mini-Flyers (6 per page), cut them and hand them out to friends, family and colleagues or just to random people in town. ;-) http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/event_guide_mini_flyers.pdf
\nAnd if you work, shop or study somewhere where there is a noticeboard, then please print this page and hang it up (and refresh it regularly)! I appreciate your help!<\/p>\n

\nOver the last two weeks the following wonderful people have helped to pay the cost of the getting the Dublin Event Guide out to you every week: Ian S., Joan W., Brian R., Bear N., Sebastian B., Tina M. and Will McA. And if you too want to help with the cost of keeping the weekly newsletter going, you can do so here: http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donation.htm<\/p>\n
To keep this newsletter going in its current form and to improve the layout and readability your help is needed! You can donate as much as you want or can, but if you need some guidance, maybe consider just ONE Euro per month or – to make it more practical – a donation of 12 Euro per year (that is just 25 cent per newsletter).Over the last two years only about 2% of the subscribers have donated anything, so I definitely need YOU too to help me keeping this newsletter going.<\/p>\n
You can transfer your donation directly to “Joerg Steegmueller, AIB, SortCode 93-36-78, AccountNo 03556043” (pls send me a mail afterwards so that I can thank you!) or donate using PayPal or your credit card by following this link to the PayPal donation page http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donation.htm.<\/p>\n

\n______Joerg’s Picks______________<\/p>\n
This section is intended to provide some help in picking and choosing from the huge number of events by sharing with you what I will\/might or would do. This is not a “best of\u2026” list and if an event is not listed here, it by no means implies that the event is not interesting. Instead my “picks” are just based on my personal preferences. All events mentioned here are described in detail further down.<\/p>\n

This week I plan to go to the Temple Bar Food market on Saturday because I haven’t been there for a long time and on Sunday I will definitely go back to Meeting House Square for the Russian Culture Festival. Next week some events of the Adult Learner’s Festival interest me (see Monday section) and at the end of the week there is the Ear Plug Festival (see Thursday), that looks interesting.
\nI hope this week’s list of events contain something for everybody!<\/p>\n

\n______Competition______________<\/p>\n
THE SECRET CASTLE OF MAGIC \u2013 TICKET COMPETITION
\nThe “Secret Castle of Magic” is a brilliant show for older kids and adults. I had the pleasure to visit their show in February and had a really great evening. The show consists of a wonderful and intriguing mixture of spookiness and magic with lots of “Wow”-moments and a few shivers down your spine. There is only one public night per month so you have to book in advance. The next performance of the three “Secret Castle of Magic” magicians is on Sun 28 Feb (20:00) and it will be a Haiti fundraiser. If you can’t make the February date you should already book for March. Only a very limited number of visitors can attend each performance and it does book out fast! Tickets are EUR 12 (EUR 10) and children have to be at least 10 years of age and the venue for the show is Castle Dracula in Westwood Club, Clontarf Road, Dublin 3. For a hugely entertaining night with a difference call 01-8512151 to book your tickets.
\nThe nice people from the Secret Castle of Magic have made one pair of tickets available for their show on 28 Feb. If you want to be in with a chance to win this pair of tickets, you need to send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with MAGIC5 in the subject and your name and mobile phone number in the body of the mail. IN ADDITION you have to tell me the name of at least one of the three magicians who will show their tricks. Help to answer this question and all other information can be found here www.SecretCastleOfMagic.com
\nYour mail has to be with me by 15:00 on Wed 24 Feb! And please only enter the competition if you have time on the evening of Sun 28 Feb.<\/p>\n
MAYDAY INNOVATIVE MUSIC PROJECT – NATIONAL CONCERT HALL
\nThe group “Mayday Project” are playing in Dublin on Sat 27 Feb at 20:00 and Simon Roth from the Mayday Project contacted me. Their concerts are not free, but they would like to let as many people as possible know, to do that, he is making a pair of tickets available for a competition.
\nThe music\/group is described like this “Simon Roth’s Mayday Project is a group dedicated to playing innovative music that embraces cultural hybridity from ancient to contemporary artforms. Their music combines intricate melodicism and dark soundworlds traversing between the predetermined and the uncharted. The band features some of the UK and Ireland’s most gifted musicians.” They will play in the Kevin Barry Room in the National Concert Hall and tickets are EUR 12 (EUR 10) and can be booked here http:\/\/www.nch.ie\/Box-Office\/Performances\/Simon-Roth-s-Mayday-Project.aspx More information about the May Day project and some music samples are here http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/simonmroth.
\nIf you want to win the pair of tickets, you will have to send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with MAYDAY in the subject and your name and mobile phone number in the body of the mail. The mail has to be with my by 15:00 on Wed 24 Feb<\/p>\n

All events in this Competition Section are non-free events, but the organisers are making free tickets available for you to win. I usually get lots of competition entries and unfortunately not everybody can win, so even if you are not the winner, please consider going to an event to support the organisers. :-) If you don’t win, and will go to the event, please help showing the organisers that promoting their event in the Dublin Event Guide is beneficial and mention to them that you heard about the event through “Joerg’s Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)”. Thanks!<\/p>\n

\n______Dublin News______________<\/p>\n
There are weeks when I find LOTS of really interesting news and in other weeks there are news, but just not something that fits in this category. This week is not the richest news week! :-)<\/p>\n
DUBLIN CITY 30 KM\/S SPEED LIMIT TO BE RE-CONSIDERED
\nYes, there is a small chance that the 30km\/h speed limit that was introduced recently will go completely again or it will be removed in some parts of the City Centre. It seems that even the councillors that originally wanted that speed limit are not too sure anymore. But no matter what happens it will take at least 6 months until it will be changed. No wonder that head shops and similar establishments can sell stuff that they shouldn’t sell. If it takes 6 months to change a law and a couple of days for a chemist to change the formula of a substance, then the law will always play catch up. http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/newspaper\/ireland\/2010\/0219\/1224264799477.html<\/p>\n
KART CITY CLOSED
\nKart City and Urban Paintball on the Old Airport Road was probably not the MOST attractive carting and paintball venue in Ireland, but nevertheless seemed to have done good business for many many years. However, now it is no more. The “Boyztoys” shop in the venue is still open and the Sunday Market (www.sundaymarket.com) is still taking place, but Kart City is closed. http:\/\/www.kartcity.net\/<\/p>\n
SUMMER CAMP IN SANTIAGO LOOKING FOR TEACHERS
\nThe Chester English Summer Camp in Santiago de Compostela in Spain is looking for teachers and camp leaders for this July. If you are interested spending a few weeks or months in Spain over the summer and if you are suited for one of these jobs
\n+ Primary & Secondary English teachers with TESL competence. Drama skills a plus.
\n+ Music teacher for musical\/choir.
\n+ Sports teachers \/ Camp leaders with competence in youth work\/outdoor pursuits.
\nplease forward your CV + the phone numbers of 2 referees to info@chestercollege.org by March 7. Oh, and please mention that you found the information in the Dublin Event Guide. Interviews will be in Dublin for the short listed candidates. http:\/\/www.chestercollege.org\/
\nOh and if you wonder why I mention this in the Dublin News Section, then I have to explain that a very good friend of mine who is a great supporter of this Event Guide is involved with the Chester College and asked me if I could help. ;-)<\/p>\n
———Opportunities—————–<\/p>\n
In order to beat an economic downturn not governments can help, but individuals are needed that take the initiative and to create new markets and new opportunities for themselves and for their customers and hopefully employees. The banks don’t help anymore, the government doesn’t want to help, so we have to help ourselves! The Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) will help you if you have recently started a company and if you could do with spreading the word. I hope being mentioned here and being seen by the 5800+ readers of the Event Guide will kick start something big for you. In return I expect you to tell your clients and friends about the Event Guide and once you have made a nice bit of money, a donation would be very appreciated. ;-) (This offer is for start-ups in relatively early stages only. Established companies can contact me regarding very affordable advertisement options in the Dublin Event Guide.) If you want to promote your start-up\/young company here for free, let me know: dublineventguide@gmail.com.<\/p>\n
DRUMMING FOR A LIVING – DRUM CIRCLE FACILITATION
\nKelly Boutilier told me about her relatively new business and I am a little jealous. ;-) Kelly is doing Drum Circle Facilitation as a job and she is working with community, disability and youth groups. In addition (and I will have to ask her more about that) she is organising a regular free Sunday Drum Circle in the People’s Park in Dun Laoghaire (when the weather cooperates!) ;-) I love rhythm and drumming and I will definitely try out her Sunday drum circle, but the main reason for mentioning it in this section is because she is offering her services to Community, Youth and Special Needs Groups that want to use drumming for therapeutic, stress-relief or team building purposes, it can even help to overcome confidence and self-esteem issues! Her website (http:\/\/www.rhythmseekers.org) contains some interesting articles on the healing effect of drumming. I have been at drum circles for example at the Dun Laoghaire Festival of World Cultures and it is amazing how everyone gets so much fun out of it. If drumming might help with your community or youth group, check out http:\/\/www.rhythmseekers.org and get in contact with Kelly!<\/p>\n

INTERNATIONAL MOTHER TONGUE DAY
\nSaturday 20 Feb 2010 is the 11th International Mother Tongue Day, a UNESCO day of celebration. And the UNESCO reminds how important culturally the mother tongue is and that “Mother-tongue speakers of national or international languages should be encouraged to learn and use other languages of the country and regional and international languages.” Sounds a bit complicated, I know. Just think of it this way: Know and use your mother tongue and learn lots more languages. ;-)
\nIn Ireland the Bilingual Forum Ireland is inviting to some events on Mother Tongue Day. The events will take place in the Rua Red Art Centre in Tallaght from 10:00-13:00. Bilingual Forum Ireland is a group of researchers from universities across Ireland that aims to raise awareness about bilingual issues. They offer free information sessions and workshops and seminars on bilingualism to parents, teachers and community groups, and have an online forum (http:\/\/www.bilingualforumireland.com). The workshops provided on Saturday are
\n+ How to set up a Language Playgroup
\n+ Raising children in a multilingual environment
\n+ Developing Multilingual Awareness at school

\nNEWSFLASH: After writing the following piece, at 20:54 it was announced that Willie O’Dea did resign as a Government Minister. It seems he did see – very late but better than never – that his behaviour was not fully ok. Will the party that wanted to clear out dishonesty learn from this??
\n**********<\/p>\n
ORGANISATIONS ARE ODD
\nHave you ever wondered why organisations often behave in a completely different way than we hope and expect? I don’t know what it is, but it seems that Power definitely corrupts. Where are the people like you and me? Nice and decent people! ;-) Maybe we should get together and take over!?!?
\nDuring this week we found out that a Government Minister (normally not the best and not the worst) damaged the reputation of an opponent during a pre-election campaign, then claimed that he hadn’t said the bad things about this other person, then even provided a sworn statement (affidavit) that he hadn’t said it and in the end he was found out to have lied in his sworn statement. http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/newspaper\/breaking\/2010\/0218\/breaking13.html He claims the denial about having made the damaging remarks was a mistake, but we have to wonder if “lie” and “mistake” should be seen accepted as the same.
\nConnected to this, there was a party that a lot of people had put their hopes in and who promised to get rid of dishonesty in politics if they will get elected. Unfortunately they decided now that the dishonesty of the mentioned Government Minister is not really that bad and therefore there shouldn’t be any political consequences. http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/newspaper\/ireland\/2010\/0218\/1224264715383.html When will they start getting rid of dishonesty?
\nAnd in a completely different matter, there was the highest leader of a religious organisation who acted in a maybe weirdly similar way. Many members of the catholic church had hoped that the Pope would take some action over the terrible and unbelievable abuse priests and other clergyman had inflicted on children. He had the perfect opportunity to take a step towards the victims and away from the abusers, but he failed to take it. http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/newspaper\/ireland\/2010\/0218\/1224264715314.html
\nIs it that power or the fear of losing power and influence damages the decision making abilities of people in power?<\/p>\n
