Book v FilmCan a film ever be better than the book?When a great story is made into a film, can the film
ever better the book it was taken from or is the
written word king?
Many films have started life as books, the movie
rights being snapped up as soon as the
imagination of a savvy producer has been gripped.
But it takes skill and foresight to take transfer the
written word into a great film.
There isn’t a film that readily springs to mind as
being better than the original book it was taken
from, simply because good writing conveys so
much more emotion than can possibly be see on
screen. Film and TV is two dimensional compared
to a skilfully crafted piece of writing; feelings and
reactions have to be made clear to the viewer by
facial expression, tone of voice, body language
and the skill of the director in using the camera.
By reading a book, on the other hand, you are able
to totally absorb yourself in the characters withing
the tale. The author is able to take you inside the
characters’ worlds and as a reader you can feel
what the characters feel. Such is the power of the
human imagination.
In film, much is laid bare for the viewer, you see,
hear and experience exactly what the director
wants you to, so the film is the director’s version of
the book. With a well written book, you are lead
down a story pathway by the author, but much of
what is written is left to the reader’s imagination
and the readers’ own experiences, hopes, dreams
and fears come into play to help interpret the
words.
It does sometimes depend on whether you have
read the book or seen the film first and some films
have inspired many to go out and read the book,
but by and large the regardless of how good the
film version is, it always seems to be lacking
something.
In future issues, we’ll be looking at some great
books and films and asking the question,
“Can the film ever be better than the film?”
We’d like to hear from you if you know of a film
that exceeded your expectation after reading the
book, rather then leaving you rather disappointed.

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 s oo 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.

PLANNING Avoid congested areasA little time spent planning your route can significantly reducethe time spent in the car. It’s arguably better to be on the move than stuck in heavytraffic.....plus it helps keep your blood pressure in check!!
PREPARATIONHave a clear out Remove all your unnecessary items from the back seat and inparticular your boot. Excess weight uses more fuel - an extra100lbs of weight can increase your fuel bill by 2%.Tyre PressureCheck your tyres to make sure that they are at therecommended level. Research shows that for every 6psi the
tyre is underinflated your fuel consumption increases by 1% -under inflated tyres can cause fuel consumption to increaseby as much as 6%.
ON THE MOVETake your time Harsh acceleration and heavy braking all contribute toexcessive fuel consumption and can consume up to 30%more fuel. Accelerate slowly and smoothly and then get intohigh gear as quickly as possible,Slow down Driving at a reduced speed will undoubtedly help with the fuelconsumption of your vehicle. As a rule anything over 3000revs makes your car less fuel efficient. Driving at 70mph asopposed to 50mph can consume 25% more fuel so reduceyour speed and drive steadily.Parking Parking the car is everybody’s least favourite manoeuver but ifyou can get into the habit of reversing your car into a parkingspace you could save fuel and money. Your car is far lessefficient when cold and consumes much more fuel whenreversing. Reverse into the bay when parking up so that youcan simply drive away forwards when you leave.Air ConditioningUse your air conditioner sparingly. Using you vehicle’s airconditioner on a hot summer day can increase fuelconsumption as much as 10% in city driving. At low speeds,opening the window will reduce fuel consumption by reducingAirCon use. At higher speeds however, using the AirCon maybe more efficient than the wind resistance from open windowsand sunroof.
MAINTENANCEServicingService your vehicle regularly. A poorly tuned engine can useup to 50% more fuel and produces up to 50% more emissionsthan one that is running properly. And clogged, dirty air filterscan cause up to a 10% increase in fuel consumption.Tighten the Fuel CapAlways tighten the cap to the second click to prevent fuelevaporating. It’s estimated that loose, missing or damaged fuelcaps cause 147 million gallons of fuel to evaporate every year.Happy and efficient motoring!

‘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. In the meantime,
we’ve dug out some quotes that people have said
about motherhood. Do they strike a chord with
any of you readers?

its proper name, falls on March
22nd this year - what do you have
planned to show your mum just
how much you appreciate her?
“The joys of motherhood arenever fully experienced untilthe children are in bed.”Author Unknown
“You know you’re a mother when
you use your own saliva to clean
your child’s face, and when your
child throws up, you catch it.”Erma Bombeck
“No matter how old a mother is, shewatches her middle-aged childrenfor signs of improvement.”Florida Scott-Maxwell
“A mother is a person who seeing
there are only four pieces of pie for
five people, promptly announces she
never did care for pie.”Tenneva Jordan

Finding thePerfectProm DressWe’ve taken advice from the specialists to give yousome top tips to help you find your perfect PromDress
Start Looking EarlyDon’t leave it too late to start looking for your dress.Many dresses have to be ordered in your size andcould take up to 10 weeks to arrive. You may thenneed alterations to get a perfect fit, so leaving it ‘tilla couple of weeks before the prom is a big no-no!Also, you will need to bear in mind that many shopshave a policy of selling only one style in one colourto any one prom. This ensures that you will be theonly one at your prom with that dress, but it alsomeans that the early shoppers will have the bestpick.If your prom is in May or June, you shouldn’t beleaving it any later than March to order your dress,unless you are happy buying off-the-peg or want anend of line bargain from a previous season.
Consider Different Places toShopMany will head straight for the large departmentstores and shopping malls but there are often smalllocal retailers who can offer amazing dresses and agreat personal service. Consider specialistPromwear retailers, such as EyeCandy at Sandal orBridal shops such as Celebrations in Ossett, CottageBridals in Horbury and Domino Bridal in Batley.These retailers have a great deal of knowledge andexperience of styles and fabrics and can also offeradvice on accessories.
Keep an Open MindYou may well have some ideas of the style of dressyou prefer, but try not to have too much of a fixedidea of what you want. If you go to a specialist shop,such as a bridal shop or one specialising inPromwear, be prepared to take the advice of the
retailer and try on alternative styles. The retailershave seen hundreds of girls and women in differentstyles and colours and have a wealth of experienceof what suits particular body shapes, colouring andpersonalities.
Be YourselfThe Prom is an opportunity to dress in a way younever have before and to really put on the style.Remember that most are in the same boat and willbe wearing a style of dress that they have neverworn before, so push yourself out of your comfortzone and dress to impress! But don’t overdo it - toenjoy your Prom, you have to be comfortable in yourdress or you’ll spend the whole evening hiding away
Take Someone With You It’s useful to have someone with you whose opinionyou value and trust and who has your best interestat heart. Friends can often subconsciously put youoff a dress if they think it’s too similar to their ownor don’t want to be upstaged, so even with bestfriends tread carefully when looking for your dress.
Have a great Prom!

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

To achieve the best from
your wedding, I supply a
full day’s service starting
from the preparations, right through to the dance. I
also include a pre-wedding shoot to help you

Offering a range of packages and prices, plus
extensions, you can create a wedding package
unique to you!
I specialise in Location
Portraiture, which is
portraiture without walls.
Finding where you can be most comfortable radiates
in the shots and provides stunning photography.
However, if location shoots aren’t for you, I also offer

spare sockets!
Model Portfolios done on

modern High Fashion. Ideal if you are are putting
together a professional portfolio and a great gift idea
for young adults wanting to pursue a career in
modelling.
Well I’m a
photographer
and have been
for just over 7 years now! Starting about the age of
14, I started out with an interest in travel photography, and after creating
a large portfolio and seeing most of Europe, decided to explore other
areas of photography. Working on and developing my own style with
weddings, I soon learnt how much hard work is involved in wedding
photography, but also how much of a buzz you get! So much of a buzz
that 3 years on I’m still doing it!
