Callan - James Joseph
James Joseph Callan was a Slade trained Artist from Dublin who eventually specialised in minature oil and watercolour paintings of Ireland. His paintings were very detailed and precise. He sold his paintings to many people throughout the world as well as through exhibitions at Trinity College Dublin.
As James Joseph Callan was my father, I am looking to find any of his paintings, so if anyone has one of his paintings, I would love to hear from you.

Celtic Designs - The Book of Kells
The Book of Kells is a famous hand painted illustrated manuscript of the Gospels. It was prepared by monks around 800 AD on the Isle of Iona and then taken to Kells in County Meath by the monks who were fleeing from the Vikings.
Today it has pride of place in the old library of Trinity College Dublin where each day one page is turned for the public to enjoy. The Book of Kells attracts tourists from all over the world.
My designs were inspired by The Book of Kells and just recently I have an inclination to return to these designs again.
If you have read some of my previous blogs, you will know that I am a great believer in ...
Sometimes people get into a rut and make excuses for not doing what they are capable of doing. They make the excuse of - 'They can't afford it, they can't get childminders, they would not know where to start, etc. etc." The list could go on indefinitely and then they reach the ripe old of forty plus, not having lived any of their dreams, just excuses!
All you really have to do, is picture yourself achieving your dreams and putting some action into actually doing something towards them! It's that simple. For many people , they need a little help and direction. If that is the case with you, then have a look at this site to see if it is what you have been looking for to live your own dreams.
Not only have I read it but I also had the tape for many years.

Ireland - Irish Writers - Bill Cullen
Have you read Bill Cullen's - 'It's A Long Way From Penny Apples.
If not, I really suggest you go and get it right now. I've even put a link and you can buy a second hand copy if you want, which is much cheaper than a new copy. Either way, you will definitely love it.
If you are like me and no longer live in Dublin, then memories of Dublin will come flooding back. Just the name of the street - the diving into the Liffey - Clontarf, all conjure up a wonderful memory of life in Dublin.
We have many great writers listed from Ireland and this is definitely a book which I think will be on the shelves for many years to come. I look forward to Bill Cullen bringing out more books.
On a different subject, last night I had a call from someone who was commenting on my celtic designs. I'll chat about that tomorrow.

Ireland - X Factor - Success
Louis Walsh returns to 'The X Factor'(Friday, June 22 2007, 10:35 BST - By Nick Levine, Entertainment Reporter)
Louis Walsh is to return to The X Factor as a replacement for Brian Friedman.
The 54-year-old Irishman lost his place on the TV singing contest's judging panel in March, but has been reinstated after Friedman asked Simon Cowell to change his role on the show.
Walsh pledged not to hold a grudge, saying: “In spite of all the bantering, I have continued to have a good working relationship with Simon, ITV and the show’s producers and I am thrilled to be asked back on the show."
Read the full article here = http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/xfactor/a62282/louis-walsh-returns-to-the-x-factor.html
How could they not have him back? There has to be a balance and much as we all love/hate Simon, the two of them together are great.
Everybody needs to follow their dreams and with this team, the opportunities are great for those who put put themselves out there, doing that extra mile. If you feel that you have a 'yet to be released' dream, Click The Link Below - within no time you will be living your own dream too.

Entrepreneur Success Stories - Business - Ireland
See exactly how Robert Clark turned his $275 a week paycheck into a highly profitable online business that takes him only 2 hours each day to run... while earning him over $250,000 a year in profits!
Click here for more details...
A total 50pc of companies in the Republic of Ireland expect their business prospects to improve in the year ahead and a further 30pc believe their business performance will remain the same, according to the first all-island survey among businesses with up to 100 employees
The 'Ulster Bank Business Confidence Survey' carried out by independent researchers Amarach Consulting in April 2007, assessed how businesses felt their company performed in the last year and how they feel about the year ahead.
In the Republic of Ireland, of the 5 in 10 companies expecting to achieve a stronger performance in the next year, over 20pc expect this to be fuelled by more orders and enquiries, with a further 20pc planning on expansion to deliver the expected stronger performance.
Only 15pc of businesses believe their operation will not perform as well in the year ahead and 45pc of these said their main concern was competition.

What does this report tell us? For me, the answer is that there will always be entrepreneur success stories - because of the determination of people who want to succeed in business and even earning money at home.
However, having said that, sadly there is an unsavoury element in the business world who use every - so called - 'business' opportunity they can to 'steal' from the business they profess to own and then put that same business into liquidation! These people invariably go on to repeat this at every opportunity.
It is therefore important that the genuine people who want to own their own business keep focussed and enlightened with all the entrepreneur success stories they can read.
