‘Mothering Sunday’ was originally the day when in
16th Century Christian practice one would make an
annual visit to one's mother church, which meant
that most mothers would be reunited with their
children on this day. Later it was the one day a year
when servants were allowed to visit their families.
In the UK it’s celebrated on the fourth Sunday in
Lent, but in the US and many other countries, they
have a fixed date, often the second Sunday in May.
Whether it’s called Mother’s Day or Mothering
Sunday, most countries in the world have chosen to
celebrate motherhood every year, but it’s becoming
more and more commercialised and the original
sentiments forgotten. It is now largely a secular
festival, becoming one of the biggest occasions for
gift giving and card sending after Christmas and
one of the most popular days of the year for eating
out (so if you were thinking of treating your mum ot
a meal out, book early!)
According to the Flowers & Plants Association,
Mother's Day is the biggest event in the UK's cut
flower and indoor plant industry. At this time of year
the UK's sales of cut flowers and indoor plants
increase by an average of 40% on a normal day's
trading. The British Retail Consortium reckon that
around £45 million is spent on Mother’s Day cards
with around 30 million cards sent, and around £55
million is spent on chocolates, with around 4 million
people buying a box for their Mum.
But it’s become all too easy to nip call into the
petrol station on the way to visiting your Mother to
pick up a card and bunch of cut flowers. Where has
the special occasion and thought disappeared to?
We’re interested in finding out what our readers
feel would make the best Mother’s Day gesture. As
a mother, has any of your children ever surprised
you with an exceptionally thoughtful gift or gesture?
Or is there anything they could do that would make
you feel really appreciated?
As a child, have you ever pulled out all the stops
to give your mother something really special on
Mother’s Day, and what was her reaction?
Please let us know and we’ll include comments
and feedback in the next issue. Send your
comments to: [email protected] or,

Making the ChangesTo maximise your chances of keeping those
resolutions, here's some tips.
1. Write down your goals. If they're down in black
and white you'll have something to refer to
later.
2. Be realistic. They're got to be achievable
3. Be specific. Rather than; 'I want to lose
weight', make it 'I want to lose 7lb by the end
of February, to help me get to my ideal weight
by June'.
4. Work out the practicalities of actually
implementing your goals, for example; 'To lose
that 7lb, I'm going to swim three times a week
and cut out biscuits'.
5. Set deadlines and a timeframe to reach your
goals and be prepared for the slump, when
your initial enthusiasm gives way to the
drudgery of doing it.
6. Don't try to do too much at once. Stopping
smoking, losing weight and getting fit all at
once is probably a bridge too far for most
people and you're more likely to fail on all
counts and it’s too late to get the help you
need.
9. Keep a diary of your progress. Psychologists
say that keeping a record of what you've done
makes it more likely you'll stick to your regimen
and reach your goal.
And if you fall off the wagon and drift back into
your old ways, don't worry another New Year is
around the corner for you to try again!
“An optimist stays up untilmidnight to see the New Year in.A pessimist stays up to make surethe old year leaves.”Bill Vaughan
New Year’sResolutionsWhy do we make them?New Year’s Resolutions are a great idea and most
people make them in varying degrees of
seriousness, The idea is sound cleanse oneself of
bad habits and start again with a clean slate. We
pledge to lose weight, exercise more, and quit
smoking. We decide to save more, spend less,
become more organised.
But do our resolutions work? Usually not, say
psychologists, because they're based on wishful
thinking rather than commitment. And more often
than not, we set ourselves up to fail, knowing as
we make the resolution, we are unlikely to keep to
it. It’s almost a game of ‘lets see how many days I
can manage this year, before I fall off the wagon!”
So does this mean we should forget about New
Year's resolutions altogether? Not at all. It’s a
useful exercise to take stock and realise that there
are some things in our lives we'd like to change.
Finding the right way to go about it is the answer.
The New Year is useful in that it gives us time to
mentally prepare for the changes we are trying to
make – knowing we're going to have to make them
sooner or later. The holiday season might be a
good time to view the past year with objectivity to
see what does and doesn't need to change and
the New Year can bring a sense of focus and
renewed energy to make the changes and if or
when you feel your focus and resolve slipping -
usually towards the end of January, seek help to
keep you on the straight and narrow.

Jane Murphy-Thresh of D-stess explains the symptoms & effects of Stress
The word ‘stress’ is derived from the latin ‘stringere’
which means ‘to draw tight’. If you look the word up in
a dictionary, you will find it explained as ‘force, pressure,
strain, emphasis, weight or importance’. Perhaps a
better definition of stress on a person would be ‘when
the demands put on you exceed your ability to cope’.
This better describes how it actually makes you feel.
Most people could probably relate to that feeling at
some time or another and you may have already
remembered a stressful time in your life.
Stressors are the events, situations and people which
bring about these feelings. Stress can be brought on by a
significant change such as a new job, new house or end
of a relationship, for example. A phobia can also cause a
great deal of stress if it is not controlled. A person can
be a stressor, such as a boss, family member or even
yourself! Also, drugs, tobacco and alcohol can cause
stress as well as the environment that you live or work
in. Of course, work related stress is responsible for a
huge loss of work days each year and can be caused by
problems such as long hours, workload, insecurity etc.
So now you know what stress is and what causes
stress. Let’s now look at the effect it has on you. The
subconscious mind or emotional mind is there to
protect you. It warns you of danger and triggers
physiological changes in your body in response to that
danger, or the threat of danger. We often call this
‘instinct’ and this reaction is known as ‘fight or flight’.
The brain triggers production of adrenaline and
increases heart rate and breathing rate so that you can
run away or fight the danger. However, these extreme
responses can occur in far less dangerous circumstances
and indeed can even be triggered if a problem is merely
anticipated.
The sort of short term symptoms of stress you may
feel can include ‘butterflies’ in the stomach, sweaty
hands and a dry mouth. Stress is not a disease in itself
but it can be a factor in the onset or worsening of
other medical conditions. So the long term effects of
stress could be high blood pressure, heart disease and
stroke, to name only a few. Possible behavioural
symptoms include irritability, loss of sense of humour,
constant tiredness and nervous twitches. Many of these
symptoms in turn can lead to changes in mood and
general attitude to life. In very extreme cases the stress
causes complete ‘burn out’ which renders the sufferer
completely unable to function in day to day life.
Recognise any of these symptoms?
Stress, it seems, is part of modern day life. Low levels
of stress can be productive, increasing motivation,
creativeness and decision making, for example.
However, once the pressure becomes too great, the
positive benefits are quickly outweighed by the negative
responses. It is true that each individual will react
differently to different circumstances. Most people can
cope on a day to day basis but once they are exposed
to extreme or continued pressure, from whatever
source, it can be detrimental to their physical, medical
and spiritual wellbeing.
It is therefore important to be aware of the onset of
stress and its triggers for you as an individual and to be
able to manage it. There are self help books available
which can help you to assess your level of stress but
many prefer the face to face contact with a trained
stress manager who can help them to develop strategies
for coping with the future.

Smoked Mackerel PateThis recipe was given to me by my mum who hadbeen given it by a neighbour - it’s been a familyfavourite ever since I can remember. A lovelystarter or lunch. How can something so simpletaste so delicious?
Ingredients100g/4oz smoked mackerel fillets (approx)28g/1oz butter1 tblsp finely chopped onion1 crushed garlic clove1 grated or finely chopped hard boiled egg1 tblsp cream (or the top from whole milk)Salt & pepper to taste
MethodRemove skin and bones from the mackerelfillets and flake with a fork or by hand.Melt the butter and fry the onion and garlicuntil soft.Add to mackerel with the grated/chopped eggand cream.Season to taste and fill a small dish with themixture. Cover and leave overnight if possible.Serve with fresh crusty bread or melba toastServes 4
Are your eggs fresh?Did you know that the white of a fresh egg will staytogether around the yolk, keeping it’s shape. Theolder the egg, the more liquid the white and the moreit will spread out when cracked open.To tell if an egg is fresh without cracking it open - popit in a glass jug of cold water. If the egg sinks and sitshorizontally at the bottom, it is very fresh, if sitsvertically from the bottom of the jug, it, it’s probablystale and can be used for scrambling. If it floats tothe top, it’s old and not fit for anything.
Local Produce MarketsIf you haven’t already visited one of the district’sLocal Produce and Farmers Markets, then do make anote to go to one. Held monthly in Wakefield, Ossettand Pontefract, the markets offer fabulous foods andcrafts which have been produced locally. There will often be producers of crafts such as soapsand lotions, carpentry goods, furniture and knittingand needlecrafts.Typically, you’ll also find producers of organic fruitand veg, specialist cheeses, preserves and chutneysand high quality meats and sausages that bear noresemblance to those bought in supermarkets.My favourite from the Ossett and Wakefield Marketsare Lime and Chilli sausages from Burtons ofWilberfoss with an Red Onion preserve from Cryerand Stott. Delicious and well worth the wait!

Preparation, preparation,preparation…..got that?Repeat and meditate. Yes,
I am a firm believer in plot preparation (andalliteration). You'll thank me when you get thebest out of the land and your plot…. and youdon't waste precious time covering up formistakes that could have been avoided. Iknow I sound harsh, but believe me, in thefrantic months of spring and summer, you'llbe glad you listened… you will. Prepare thebeds now and enjoy the invigorating exercise.(I know it hasn't stopped pouring down, buthopefully swimming isn't on the exerciseprogramme down at your plot). When there's afine day, grab your tools and go for it: Clear:Cover: Check.....oh, and dig, hoe, dig, hoe, dig,hoe. There are fewer gales this month andindeed the days are lengthening. There'smuch more sunshine around, however, do notbe lulled into a false sense of seasonalsecurity: It's likely to be rather treacherousfor a few weeks to come my fellowallotmenteer. Take my womanly advice;fashion is left behind in the "real" world whenyou enter the plot gates. Warmth, workability
and anti-wetness (almost alliteration) are youraim. I'm actually designing a plot scarecrowbased on my groovy lottie- attire. Based onthe recent sketches it's guaranteed tocertainly scare away something!Hmm…Maybe you could e-mail anyscarecrow ideas that you have… I humblyawait your ideas and suggestions.

Antoinette in Lancashire: Dear Lolo can I sowanything in February?Lolo’s reply: Wow, thanks for reading over inLancashire: Yes. In the greenhouse sow peas inguttering. Sow the hardiest Broad Beans outside. Sowradishes under cloches. In a propagator sow seeds oftomato (64F/18C) and aubergine (70F/21C). Plantrhubarb and new fruit bushes & trees. Happy gardeningover in Lancashire!
OUT AND ABOUT:• Attend to any slugs and snails now to reduce
later problems. Ahem, I leave the method of thistask to you entirely… my mother and I haverather opposing views on this subject.
• Don't turn/dig soggy or frozen soil. Only dig onfiner dryer days making borders ready for laterplanting.
• Rake over (check weather) seed beds to a finetilth resembling bread crumbs. If possible, coverwith polythene to warm the soil.
• Dig bean trench (18inch wide & depth of aspade) and start to fill with organic matter fromthe kitchen to help retain moisture. Leave opentill sowing later on.
• Get those seeds and make sure you have yourseed spuds ready for chitting next month.

What is Baby Yoga?Baby Yoga sessions are fun, relaxing ways to helpstimulate and develop babies in a safe and supportiveenvironment. Baby Yoga consists of exercises for bothbaby and mum, and these are intertwined with songs andfun activities. Parents learn how to stimulate their baby’smental and physical abilities using gentle movements andrhythm; learn how to settle colic; get help and techniquesto induce sleep; and gain confidence in handling theirbaby. Baby yoga, which complements infant massage, offersquality physical stimulation including flowing postures,holding, movement, touch, voice and deep relaxation. Itinduces a happy, carefree and lively parent-infantinteraction, which develops as the baby grows. Itencourages pre-verbal communication and enhancesbaby’s physical confidence.The experience of movement combined with touch isprobably the richest stimulation we can offer babies frombirth. In yoga, this stimulation occurs through the mutualinvolvement of parent and baby, at a pace at which thebaby can absorb and integrate it. As yoga postures inducedeep relaxation in adults, so in babies they bring a state ofdeep contentment and promote deep sleep. Yoga offersbabies a resource that will enable them to deal positivelywith stress and know how to relax. The handling of thebabies is a loving one, in which the conversion of achallenging movement into a safe game, to play andenjoy, is repeated again and again. This playful stimulationthrough yoga-based exercise is a powerful way of helpingbabies relish life, with all its demands, as they grow.
What are the benefits of Baby Yoga?Benefits of Baby Yoga include:• Physical - In one short session, the baby is given as
much physical activity as they would receive if they werehandled and carried all day. This activity will help thebaby sleep more deeply. The baby’s behaviour will bemore ‘settled’. It provides a daily routine of activitythrough which the parent can engage constructively withtheir baby from birth
• Physiological / developmental - All the baby’s bodilysystems are stimulated, including the digestive andnervous systems.
• Psychological - Baby yoga helps the parent and baby toget to know each other, enhancing communicationbetween them. Yoga helps to heal any birth trauma; thebaby will also be better equipped to deal with shocks.The baby’s enjoyment of the positive stress of yoga willincrease the babies ability to cope with future challenges.Through the high quality attention the baby receives fromit’s parents, the baby learns to interact with others andplay actively, the deep relaxation that is part of yogahelps parents cope with the stresses of early parenting.
How can I find out more about BabyYoga Classes?Baby Yoga classes are currently being run in the Wakefieldarea at a number of Children’s Centres and HealthCentres. Classes usually last for 1 hour per session for a 6week course, and are suitable for babies from 6 weeks tocrawling. A class size of no more than 10 works well. Parents attending recent sessions in Wakefield havebenefited as follows:• Young mums with little experience of motherhood gaining
confidence holding and interacting with their baby• Mums who have struggled to bond with their baby have
found that Baby yoga has helped them in this area• Coping with colic, and helping to ease the babies’ distress• Improved sleep among the babies attending• Social interaction for mums in a baby-centred environment

One of the biggest debates you will find on the Internetis the one over which is better out of Plasma Tvs andLCD Tvs. There are people that will argue for bothcases in the plasma verus lcd war and in the end itmay be down to personal choice. One of the biggestarguments for Plasma screens is the fact they canproduce natural dark colours and black where as LCDTvs are made using a backlight making a very darkblack on screen not quite as impressive as withPlasma Tvs.
One of the first things to consider is what is thedifference in plasma and lcd and it is entirely down tothe way the televisions operate and produce the pictureon the screen. LCD Tvs use technology which uses abacklight and plasma Tvs do not.
When considering whats the best to buy you shouldgo into stores and have a look at what you can expectfrom each. The picture quality will all depend on thesource and what you are using. A great example wouldbe if you played a VHS on a plasma and thought itdidnt look good, the picture will only be as good as thesource so if you put a blu-ray HD player through a1080p Plasma or LCD screen it should look fantastic.The main sources for HD now are Sky HD, VirginMedia boxes and Playstation 3s which have in built blu-ray technology. HD-DVD was the biggest competitor toBlu-ray but it is technology which is now seen as dyinghaving lost the war to blu-ray when Toshiba stated theywould no longer be manufacturing players.
A lot is talked about the plasma versus lcd tv contrastratio and again this can make a huge difference but a lotcan also depend on the set you go for. Cheaper modelswill not look as good as the better higher priced onessuch as Panasonic or Samsung which are currently theleaders in the market. If you are wanting the best qualitypicture available then it will require that you buy a toprange TV that will cost more than the budget Plasmascreens now readily available. When you are looking tocompare plasma hd display tv with lcd it will again alldepend on the source and what Television you have.
There are fantastic LCD and Plasma Screensavailable and if you are willing to spend the moneythen you should be able to get a great TV that willsatisfy you and introduce you into the world of HighDefinition.
Once you have had a look in stores you can alsouse the Internet to look for big screen tv plasma lcdreviews and price comparison websites. If you spendtime and effort looking through the Internet then youshould be able to find some good deals on the TV setsand save some money. You can also look at userreviews on the Internet to see which TVs are popularand supposed to produce a good picture. When lookingfor hd tv reviews television plasma lcd it is a good ideato use as many sources as you can find so that you doget a fair overall view of the TV sets and not just theopinion of one or two that could be slightly biasedtowards Plasma or LCD Tv sets.
Which is best

It is my great pleasure to write in this
inaugural issue of Hemsworth Review. Our
area has always had a good community
focus and I hope that this magazine will help
to bring people in our area together.
I hope in future editions to be able to write
about local issues and what is happening in
Parliament. I always enjoy getting feedback
from constituents, if Hemsworth Review readers
want to get in touch, you can do so by emailing
[email protected] or by calling (01977)
722290. You can also contact me through my
website at www.jontrickett.org.uk.
One major local issue I would like to make
constituents aware of in my first column, is
the issue of bogus callers. I have been made
aware, of smartly addressed individuals
knocking on the doors of, usually, elderly
people – and posing as NHS or Social
Services staff. They ask to go to the toilet
and in the process get a good look around
the house. Genuine callers will be happy to
make an appointment to visit and will carry
an identity card with a photograph. You
should be very aware of who you let into your
property, you can get a booklet from my
office about how to beat bogus callers or
download it from my website.
I wish the Hemsworth Review the best of
luck and look forward to seeing future
editions.
