GAA 125
GAA 125 refers to several events which took place during the 125th year of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in 2009. The organisation was founded at Hayes' Hotel in Thurles, County Tipperary on 1 November 1884.
The Irish Film Institute showed a film series to commemorate the occasion. A special exhibition was also held.
The Late Late Show hosted a special episode dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the foundation of the GAA. The episode, presented by Pat Kenny, was aired on RTÉ One on 9 January 2009 and was planned well in advance as soon as the 2008 Toy Show had ended. The Athlone Advertiser said the show was "a shocker. A genuine shocker. So much of the show lacked élan and panache that it became very difficult to stop switching the bloody thing off".
The Evening Herald put together a list of "125 New Year Resolutions " for the GAA in January 2009.
Events were launched at Croke Park, Dublin, with the opening match of the National Football League 2009 between Dublin and Tyrone on 31 January 2009. It was also only the second football match to take place under floodlights, following its predecessor in February 2008. The event included a fireworks display as well as commentary from Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, with the festivities being hosted by Hector Ó hEochagáin. A soundtrack of Irish music featuring bands such as The Cranberries and Snow Patrol was put together by Larry Mullen, Jr. for the fireworks display, whilst Mundy and Sharon Shannon performed during half-time. The match ended with a victory for Tyrone by a score of 1-18 to 1-16.

Lyre
The lyre (Greek: λύρα, lýra) is a string instrument known for its use in Greek classical antiquity and later periods. The lyre is similar in appearance to a small harp but with distinct differences. The word comes via Latin from the Greek; the earliest reference to the word is the Mycenaean Greek ru-ra-ta-e, meaning "lyrists" and written in the Linear B script. The lyres of Ur, excavated in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), date to 2500 BC. The earliest picture of a lyre with seven strings appears in the famous sarcophagus of Hagia Triada (a Minoan settlement in Crete). The sarcophagus was used during the Mycenaean occupation of Crete (1400 BC). The recitations of the Ancient Greeks were accompanied by lyre playing.
The lyre of classical antiquity was ordinarily played by being strummed with a plectrum (pick), like a guitar or a zither, rather than being plucked with the fingers as with a harp. The fingers of the free hand silenced the unwanted strings in the chord. However, later lyres were played with a bow, including in Europe and parts of the Middle East.

Vine training
The use of vine training systems in viticulture is aimed primarily to assist in canopy management with finding the balance in enough foliage to facilitate photosynthesis without excessive shading that could impede grape ripening or promote grape diseases. Additional benefits of utilizing particular training systems could be to control potential yields and to facilitate mechanization of certain vineyard tasks such as pruning, irrigation, applying pesticide or fertilizing sprays as well as harvesting the grapes. In deciding on what type of vine training system to use, growers will also consider the climate conditions of the vineyard where the amount of sunlight, humidity and wind could have a large impact on the exact benefits the training system offers. For instance, while having a large spread out canopy (such as what the Geneva Double Curtain offers) can promote a favorable leaf to fruit ratio for photosynthesis, it offers very little wind protection. In places such as the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, strong prevailing winds such as le mistral can take the fruit right off the vine so a more condensed, protective vine training system is desirable for vineyards there.

Eyes While Open
by: La RoccaYou keep one talking bout these winter blues
All across the lowlands
People getting used to the walking in the daytime
While the little men go choose
Arrested fathers with their Monday heads
Get suspicious of the women who know more in bed
And the whole thing shows what the space race failed to prove
After the light show and the ball of flames
All the elephants go back to their poker games
And the money takes a one-way trip on a southbound train
Amazing brandy and the Ace of Spades
Talk to Dylan with the only who didn't get laid
And everyone agreed on the meaning behind the news
We're being used
I've never been here but the brochures' nice
Says the staff here is friendly but the management lies
And the ceiling comes free if we just get online and dice
Too many owners and not enough teams
Too many ideas and not enough wet wet wet dreams
So pu that wallet away cause i can't pay what's due
And nor can you
We're being used
I'd bow my head if the king walked by
But he'd better stay focued on the glint oin my eye
For his right hand man may taste a bullet and die
If immagration stops us getting through
Thenj we'll hit 'em with the joke bout the 2ft shoe
And if that doesn't work then we'll just hi 'em with the truth
Were bieng used
Heaven's got a porblem with the casting couch
Cause if God does the interview, You'd better watch out
It's a rumour right now
But Jesus won't you tell us the truth
