… to issue one of CLICzine. You, you lucky individual, are one of 500,000 young people across Wales holding this in their precious paws. That number increases if you’re reading this with a mate, but we digress. This new quarterly magazine is written in conjunction with, compiled by and aimed at 11 to 25-year-olds across the length and breadth of our fine country. It’ll be bringing you snippets of news, reviews and features currently available on the website – www.cliconline.co.uk – as well as collector’s guides on how to infiltrate and conquer the worlds of music, film, art, sport, cuisine and anything else you’d like to see gracing its pages. CLIC is also a fully interactive channel for information and advice, and therefore needs your input to move forward. If you’re interested in contributing to CLICzine or the website, call or email us (details on opposite page) and we’ll open our cloak of creativity and welcome you in.

Mae’r nifer yn cynyddu os wyt ti’n darllen gyda ffrind, ond rydym yn crwydro. Ysgrifennir y cylchgrawn chwarterol newydd hwn ar y cyd gyda, ac fe’i llunnir ac fe’i hanelir at rai 11 i 25 oed ar draws ein hannwyl wlad. Bydd yn dod â darnau o newyddion, adolygiadau ac erthyglau nodwedd i chi sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd ar y wefan - www.clicarlein.co.uk - yn ogystal â chanllawiau casglwyr am sut i fynd i mewn i a choncro bydoedd cerdd, ffilm, celf, chwaraeon, coginio ac unrhyw beth arall yr hoffet ei weld yn cael ei gynnwys ar ei dudalennau.

Mae CLIC hefyd yn sianel gwbl ryngweithiol i gael gwybodaeth a chyngor, ac felly mae angen dy gyfraniad di i symud ymlaen. Os oes gennyt ddiddordeb mewn cyfrannu at CLICzine neu’r wefan, galwa neu e-bostia (manylion ar y dudalen gyferbyn) ac fe agorwn ein clogyn o greadigedd a’th groesawu i mewn.

An American student living in Llantwit Major has written to her local council asking them to open a café for teenagers. Erin Dooley has been living in the town for seven years and is concerned about the issue of underage drinking. She hates seeing young people out on the streets getting drunk, especially in public places. Having previously worked in a local comprehensive, she believes that they are good kids, but are just bored. So, what did she do about it?

Erin grew up having a local coffee house, snack shack or diner open until at least 11.30pm. Teenagers could hang out here and get hot food and drinks, and there would be plenty of entertainment, including games nights. She decided that she would like something similar in Llantwit Major. This reminds me of American movies where you see all the kids hanging out in the diner, like in Grease. It works well in America. However, I don’t think it will work over here.

Mae myfyriwr Americanaidd yn byw yn Llanilltud Fawr wedi ysgrifennu at ei chyngor lleol yn gofyn iddyn nhw agor caffi i rai yn eu harddegau. Mae Erin Dooley wedi bod yn byw yn y dref am saith mlynedd ac yn pryderu am fater yfed dan oed. Mae hi’n casáu gweld pobl ifanc allan ar y stryd yn meddwi, yn arbennig mewn mannau cyhoeddus. Ar ôl gweithio yn flaenorol mewn ysgol gyfun leol, mae hi’n credu mai plant da ydyn nhw yn y bôn, ond eu bod wedi diflasu. Felly, beth wnaeth hi am y sefyllfa?

Magwyd Erin mewn tref lle roedd siop goffi, sied snacs neu ‘diner’ lleol ar agor tan o leiaf 11.30pm. Gallai pobl ifanc hongian o gwmpas yno a chael bwyd poeth a diodydd, a byddai yno ddigon o adloniant, gan gynnwys nosweithiau gemau. Penderfynodd yr hoffai gael rhywbeth tebyg yn Llanilltud Fawr.

Mae hyn yn fy atgoffa am ffilmiau Americanaidd pan ydych yn gweld y bobl ifanc i gyd yn hongian o gwmpas yn y lle bwyta, fel yn Grease. Mae’n gweithio’n dda yn America. Ond dydw i ddim yn meddwl y bydd yn gweithio yma.

There are holiday hot spots like Australia and Thailand, but would you choose to go to Ghana? After four years of travelling back and forth, I

recommend it. For those who like history, you’ll find plenty. For those who simply like to travel, there are a lot of gorgeous places to visit, ranging from Cape Coast with canopy walks to the Aburi Botanical Gardens.

Mae yna leoedd poblogaidd i fynd ar wyliau fel Awstralia a Gwlad Tai ond fyddech chi’n dewis mynd i Ghana? Ar ôl pedair blynedd o deithio yn ôl ac ymlaen, rydw i yn ei argymell. I’r rhai sy’n hoff o hanes, mae digon i’w ddarganfod. I’r rhai hynny sy’n hoff o deithio, mae llawer o leoedd gwych i ymweld â nhw, yn amrywio o Cape Coast gyda rhodfeydd drwy’r canopi i Erddi Botanegol Aburi.

After a long bus journey that involved singing, sleeping, eating and being led astray by a £5 sat nav, we finally arrived at Tyn Dwr Outdoor Centre in North Wales tired and hungry but ready to start the weekend, which began with workshops reviewing some of the topics currently on the CLIC website.

Ar ôl taith bws hir oedd yn cynnwys canu, cysgu, bwyta a chael ein harwain i fynd ar goll gan sat nav £5, cyrhaeddon ni o’r diwedd yng nghanolfan Awyr Agored Ty’n Dŵr, yng ngogledd Cymru. Roeddem yn flinedig ac eisiau bwyd ond yn barod i ddechrau’r penwythnos, a ddechreuodd gyda gweithdai yn adolygu rhai o’r pynciau sydd ar wefan CLIC ar hyn o bryd.

Here I am a year later, hating my job and strapped for cash – there was much more money available to me while I was a student! I don’t deny that taking full

advantage of those available funds is what has fuelled my current money troubles. I try to adopt a ‘you live, you learn’ attitude, but it’s difficult to be blasé when you’re pinching the pennies every month.

Dyma fi flwyddyn yn ddiweddarach, yn casáu fy swydd ac yn brin o arian - roedd llawer mwy o arian ar gael i mi pan oeddwn yn fyfyriwr! Dydw i ddim yn gwadu mai manteisio’n llawn ar yr arian oedd ar gael yw’r hyn sydd wedi arwain at fy nhrafferthion ariannol ar hyn o bryd. Rwy’n ceisio mabwysiadu agwedd sy’n pwysleisio eich bod yn dysgu wrth fyw, ond mae’n anodd bod yn ddifater pan ydych yn gwylio’r ceiniogau bob mis.

Running parallel, the Fabric and FabricLive single disc mixes of discerning excellence have almost reached the half century mark, with the latest four coming from the production hardware belonging to Jay Haze and Radio Slave (Fabric 47 + 48), and Toddla T and Filthy Dukes (FabricLive 47 + 48).

Yn rhedeg yn gyfochrog, mae cymysgeddau disg sengl rhagorol y Fabric a FabricLive bron wedi cyrraedd nod yr hanner canrif, gyda’r pedwar diweddaraf yn dod o’r caledwedd cynhyrchu sy’n perthyn i Jay Haze a Radio Slave (Fabric 47 + 48), a Toddla T a Filthy Dukes (FabricLive 47 + 48)

Once vampires were hidden away in a remote corner of Romania, in myths, legends and folk tales. Now they are in the (cold dead) heart of

popular culture. From Buffy The Vampire Slayer to True Blood on television to the book serials House Of Night and the ubiquitous Twilight, it seems vampires hold an allure over writers and young consumers alike. But why?

Ar un adeg, mewn cornel anghysbell o Romania, mewn chwedlau, a storïau gwerin y deuech ar draws sugnwyr gwaed. Yn awr maen nhw yng nghanol diwylliant poblogaidd. O Buffy the Vampire Slayer i True Blood ar y teledu i’r cyfresi llyfrau House of Night a Twilight, mae’n ymddangos bod sugnwyr gwaed yn hudo ysgrifenwyr a defnyddwyr ifanc fel ei gilydd. Ond pam?

You’ve probably been seeing blue elfin figures peering back at you from various magazine covers and TV screens. They belong to the animated characters from Avatar, the forthcoming groundbreaking movie from grizzled director James Cameron. Promising to take cinema to a new level, should we believe the hype?

Mae’n siwr eich bod wedi bod yn gweld ffigyrau elffin glas yn pefrio yn ôl arnoch o wahanol gloriau cylchgronau a sgriniau teledu. Maen nhw’n perthyn i’r cymeriadau animeiddio o avatar, y ffilm chwyldroadol sydd ar fin ymddangos gan y cyfarwyddwr James Cameron. Mae’n addo mynd â sinema i lefel newydd, ddylen ni gredu’r heip?

A magazine wouldn’t be a magazine without a competition. A magazine for young people wouldn’t be a magazine for young people without a competition offering an iPod as a prize.
