The Mayo Advertiser carried an article on fracking on Aug 22nd. See below.

That is according to two local Sinn Féin representatives who this week urged the public and political representatives to call on the Government to make its position on fracking clear because a number of Mayo townlands in the Swinford and Charlestown areas have long been flagged as possible fracking sites. ... read full story / add a comment

Judge Denis McLoughlin presided over yesterdays monthly sitting of Belmullet district court. Amongst the defendants were 5 people up on charges because of their opposition to the Shell Corrib gas project. Of the Shell related cases only one was heard, resulting in John Monaghan being convicted and fined E350 and disqualified from driving for one year. Of particular note in this case was that some of the evidence that was used to convict Mr Monaghan, came from Sgt Dermot Butler, who was one of the named Gardaí that a former Shell subcontractor claimed helped to transfer the alcohol that he delivered to Belmullet Garda station on behalf of Shell. Also of particular note was that one IRMS security guard also confirmed that IRMS had a practice of profiling certain members of the local community and other campaigners.

An insight into prison life in Ireland, namely Castlerea Prison, Co Roscommon. On 21st April 2010 I was convicted of assaulting a number of Gardaí in relation to Shell to Sea protests and sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. Remission for good behaviour means that prisoners will have their sentences reduced by a quarter, once you keep your nose clean. I was given credit for 2 weeks time served previously in 2009, before I was bailed out pending my appeal. So I spent 4 months in jail from April to August in the summer of 2010. ... read full story / add a comment

Well I had quoted a few things and was going to respond and.... lost my connection for a few minutes... So I'll just jump in and say...
Chill Sunday... watched some football, ignored stuff I should of been working on... yeah, life is good.
Her hubbys dad is taking is 5th wheeler up and will park it at their place. But... they don't have a truck to pull it, unless his dad lets him use his truck... but at least in the mean time they will have the 5th wheeler for an extra "bedroom" for company.
HELLO ....REX.....and Swampy

Chill Sunday...Aunt Pengy...and that was for me too.......
Now it is time for BED........
You all have a Good and Safe week.........Jim
Soaring like an EAGLE !
Hey Jim! Nanner time sound like a good idea. Will be going down below tomorrow to take my cousin to a Dr. appt. so I think I'll head out too!
Morning all!
Mousespeed on your vacation journey today Barbara!!!! Hope you have a chance to check in with us once in a while!
All packed and ready to go. Even though check in time isn't until 4 p.m., we figured getting there early had benefits. We need to stop and get groceries, and probably some lunch. It only takes about three hours to make the drive, and I make my husband stop at the Wisconsin border, so I can use the facilities. They have a really nice Welcome Center there.
I have packed my iPad instead of the computer, so pictures will have to wait until I return home to Chicago. I am sure I will take some, but after these many Wisconsin vacations, lots of my photos are near repeats of earlier ones. We do have a little fancier room this time. I guess we are spoiling ourselves a bit with the upgrade.
We started these journeys many years ago with the grandson. Now he's not interested, so it's just the two of us. Mu husband wanted to skip the Dells this year, but I talked him into a shorter version of our usual plan.
Happy Monday.

Great day for me. Our drive to Wisconsin was very pleasant. We shopped, checked in our super nice hotel room, and now we are waiting for our dinner to arrive. I ordered Margarita Pizza, and my husband is having enchiladas.
See ya later. Our food came while I typed this, and we are going to watch Monday night football.

A Brief Tutorial on Installation and Garage Door Safety
Garage doors come in several sizes and shapes. Their functions vary from fundamental security of a place to concealment that is decorative. Most doors may be broken down into types or several fundamental styles. Typical contemporary garage doors for residential programs are usually mostly of the overhead sectional assortment. That design of door comes in amounts of insulation, several settings, substances, as well as an extensive variety of look options. They may be constructed as a custom layout to complement the dacor of any building, or accessible as a prefabricated kit. Higher security conditions are generally dictated by commercial warehouse sort setups. An excellent option with this security kind of door is the "roll up" design that resembles a roll top desk kind of door. This door could be made using various substances which can not be as weak as the walls that were adjoining, making forced entry by means of this opening very hard. Other commercial setups that are common contain light weight aluminum single or panel doors that are sectional. These doors operate more for closing off a place that is already protected for ensuring point security than.
Before, with managing an overhead garage door, the greatest concern was the possible hazards related to the springs useful for balancing the door weight. Some of the very dangerous aspects of the spring systems was that after a time period, frequently with no care or review, the points of attachment of the springs would corrode or become feeble. This weakening of points or the springs of attachment would frequently result in an inadvertent explosive failure flinging the spring parts that are broken over the garage, embedding the steel or spring parts in the course of traveling to the garage walls, automobiles or alternative things. Sadly, occasionally folks were in the course of travel of the events that are explosive. These cages were retrofitted onto the extended springs in an endeavor to get in case a failure happened, the parts that will discharge. While these apparatus that are caging were helpful, they were fully ineffective. A few of these spring apparatus continue to be in use nowadays. The grade of garage parts are questionable or this state exists, a certified service tech that was professional ought to be consulted.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts: The saga continues. Great title for a movie, right? At best, the story between the city of Baltimore and the Colts should be a soap opera – As The Hate Turns or Indianapolis and the Colts-less. You get the picture. Well, Sunday's playoff matchup between the Colts and Ravens is wrapped with many chapters. The Colts return to the city they left, Indianapolis will face their former head coach in Jim Caldwell, who is now the Ravens' offensive coordinator, the Ravens will battle against their former beloved defensive coordinator in Chuck Pagano, who is now the Colts' head coach, and rookie quarterback Andrew Luck's postseason debut. Wow, Hollywood could not write this. "Man, this has been a great year, a storybook ending," said Colts' wide receiver Reggie Wayne. "Let's keep it going. Hopefully we can continue to write this movie." Nevertheless, the biggest subplot to this drama for Sunday is the possibility that this could be the final appearance o

Ralph Lauren Apologizes (Sort of) for its Anorexia Ad
I don't need to rehash the censorship feud between popular website Boing Boing and Ralph Lauren. You can read about the first part here and the second part here. But today Boing Boing reports that the clothier has owned up to its Photoshop hatchet job on model (she has a name now!) Filippa Hamilton. "After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman's body," Polo Ralph Lauren admitted in a statement today, according to Extra.

Product description
Since its debut in 2005, "Avatar: The Last Airbender" has remained one of Nickelodeon's most talked about and highest-rated animated series to date, and it's not too hard to see why... Not only does it offer an epic storyline, engaging characters, action, adventure, and a powerful message about the importance of hope in a world long-besieged by war, all the while serving up top-notch entertainment. It's also beautifully executed, a stunning masterpiece of animated storytelling that harmonizes Western influences with aesthetic inspiration drawn from a diverse array of cultures, including those of China, Japan, India, and the Inuit. An unprecedented look at the concept, design, and production art behind this smash-hit series, "Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Art of the Animated Series" chronicles the show's development -- from the very first sketch through to the series finale and beyond! -- along with behind-the-scenes commentary from series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino. * Featuring hundreds of images, most of which Nickelodeon has never released to the public!

Customer reviews
By Nhi Le 01 Sep 2012
Adored the series and did not expect the excellent quality of this book. This is definitely a purchase that must be made by every Avatar fan out there. A great insight to behind the scenes, commentary by Bryan and Michael, and the art is superb. Great length and numerous sketches, images and even has post it scribbles from the art department during their meetings. The book flows nicely as it starts from the beginning of the series to the end. I absolutely love this book and would recommend it.
By James Mitton 26 Oct 2011
This book is an amazing, high quality product with rich illustrations which gives an in-depth insight into the production of this series. The book is structured really well with text following narratives from each of the two main creators. It is mainly illustrations but these are well annotated and explained. If you were a fan of the show and want to see how the characters and plot were developed and see some beautiful illustrations of the settings in the series then buy this! I was not let down at all :D

Concern over new tax idea
Posted: August 01, 2014|
PLANS to give council tax cuts to volunteers have been criticised in Nottingham.
The Local Government Association has called for new rules to allow people who give their time for free to get a 10 per cent discount on their council tax bills.
But Graham Chapman, deputy leader of Nottingham City Council, was not keen on the idea. "We have a concern about how this suggestion to cut council tax would work in practice and how it would be funded," he said.
"It would require a large number of people to rule on what was deemed a volunteer role and, consequently, who should be included or left out.
"Also, people do not volunteer their time and efforts for money. It is out of compassion and empathy towards others, and we would be concerned that this proposal may encourage others towards volunteering for the wrong reasons."

It is a big risk to hire an unproven coach.
The Ackerman Indians took that risk this past season as it hired Patrick Nutt to lead their baseball team. In the end, that risk paid off hugely, as the Indians finished 15-11 overall and won Class 2A, Region 5, District 4 with a 9-1 record.
Nutt was recognized as Starkville Daily News High School Baseball Coach of the Year for that accomplishment.
Coming into this season, Mississippi State head coach John Cohen was not a big fan of the Bulldogs' schedule.
The 2013 Southeastern Conference baseball season welcomed two new teams for competition in Texas A&M and Missouri.Â
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Mississippi State was six outs away from the College World Series, but rain forced the Bulldogs to wait another day to record the last few outs.
The No. 12 (Collegiate Baseball) Bulldogs came back Monday afternoon after rain suspended game two of the Charlottesville Super Regional to beat the No. 6 Virginia Cavaliers 6-5 at Davenport Field to advance to Omaha, Neb.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Mississippi State's first appearance in the College World Series came in 1971.Â
The Bulldogs will return in 2013 for the ninth time.Â
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Adam Frazier came into the Charlottesville Super Regional with 94 hits and ninth on the Mississippi State single-season hit career list.
The sixth round Pittsburgh Pirates draft pick went 8-for-11 over the weekend as the No. 12 (Collegiate Baseball) Bulldogs beat the No. 6 Virginia Cavaliers 6-5 Monday afternoon to move on to the College World Series.
There's excitement in the voice of Starkville Academy football coach Jeff Terrill about the upcoming schedule.
While this year's slate of games is certainly no easy task for the Volunteers, who are a relatively young squad, the Starkville Academy staff is encouraged heading into the season.
"There are no breaks week to week and I think it is even tougher than last year," Terrill said.
There won't many breathers from Friday to Friday for the Starkville Yellowjackets during the 2013 football season and that's just the way head coach Jamie Mitchell wants it.
Mitchell is excited about the venues, environments and competition that moving into Class 6A brings with it and the non-division schedule also.
"It is 100 times better," Mitchell said.
For the ninth time in school history, the Mississippi State Bulldogs have secured a spot in NCAA baseball's College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
The Bulldogs held on for a 6-5 win over No. 6 national seed Virginia Monday afternoon at Davenport Field to win the Charlottesville Super Regional.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – With Mississippi State leading Virginia 5-3 in the seventh inning, heavy rain and lightning forced a delay in game two of the Charlottesville Super Regional Sunday night at Davenport Field.
The rain was persistent and caused the game to be suspended. The two teams will resume play today at 3 p.m.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Adam Frazier opened the first day of the Charlottesville Super Regional going 6-6 at the plate.
The Mississippi State junior shortstop continued his hot start at the plate in game two.
Frazier was 2-4 Sunday night as the second game of the Charlottesville Super Regional was suspended until today due to weather.Â

Wordplay can be serious business. Just ask famed NBA coach and now Miami Heat president Pat Riley. Fresh off the Heat's second straight NBA championship, the legendary story of Riley having been savvy enough 25 years ago to trademark the term "three-peat" is being resurrected once again - and Riley is not the only one who stands to benefit financially. After all, Riley works to raise money through a variety of charitable efforts. Among those is The Miami Heat Family Outreach which, according to the Miami Heat website, he and his wife founded in 1997 and has raised more than $15 million for the South Florida community. Primary beneficiaries include a center for seriously ill children, a domestic violence shelter for women and their children and the Miami Coalition for a Safe and Drug-free Community. Riley is also involved in the Pediatric AIDS Foundation's Kids for Kids organization which they started in 1992 in New York. He's been involved in other charity efforts as well. Now, h...

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Decoupage an unfinished tissue box with pretty floral papers like these, or whatever style suits your décor. If you're going to have a tissue box in your office space or bathroom, you'll want to cover it with something stylish and fabulous instead of plain-old store-bought.
- Unfinished wood tissue box
- Mod Podge Matte
- FolkArt Acrylic Paint – Wrought Iron
- Wood flower (slightly smaller than the height of the box)
- Scrapbook paper, 2 sheets – I used K & Company's Amy Butler Lotus Collection
- Paper trimmer (with a look of "lace")
- Pink rhinestone
- Hot glue gun
- Paint around the sides of the box and wood flower with Wrought Iron. Allow to dry.
- Lay the box, upside down, over the back side of the black floral paper. Trace around the top and center hole then cut out. Set aside.

Alright, I've held off on saying anything about this for a few months because I wanted to be sure about this.Ā I'm convinced my son is getting PMS from my breastmilk at the same time that I have PMS.Ā Every single month, two days before I get my period my son gets at least one pimple on his face. And then the moodiness begins! Today he was absolutely irritable and stressed, and it wasn't just because I was irritable and stressed from my PMS because DS was upstairs playing with him most of the afternoon and evening and came downstairs and commented on how touchy and irritable he was!Ā This happens every single month.Ā Any other BF moms noticing this?Ā
Can breastfed babies get PMS?

I don't notice it, but you might be on to something here. I'm no scientist but it would make sense that if your hormone levels are all wacky, then some of that would be transferred through your breastmilk. Very interesting!

It could be because your supply drops when you're getting your period and your LO is mad about that.
As for the pimple, prb a coincidence, if babies were getting that much hormones in them it would prob not be good for them.

I breastfed and/or pumped for 2 kids for 12 mos each, and had my regular period back with both before 2 mos PP. That said, I never had this experience. It's normal for a baby to be fussy when you are on your period (or right before) b/c your supply dips at that point. Both┬Āthe quantity and┬Āquality of your milk is affected.┬ĀMost likely, that's what you are noticing.

DS (2007) GERD & DD (2010) - bilateral vocal cord paralysis, tracheomalacia,GERD, hip dysplasia
I just found this and now I'm even more convinced that he's getting the excess hormones from my milk and it's making him PMSy! If excess hormones are in our milk when our LOs are newborns, I would think the same would apply at any time that we're breastfeeding and our hormone levels are high. And it makes sense about the lower milk supply but the really odd thing is that he doesn't seem like a hungry baby, and he doesn't seem frustrated when nursing, he truly seems like someone with PMS, extremely sensitive to anything the least bit stressful (things that normally wouldn't bother him).
New mothers produce excess hormones, especially in the first weeks after giving birth. These excess hormones are transferred to the baby through breast milk. The hormones stimulate the baby's sebaceous glands to produce a fatty, oily substance called sebum. Sebum clogs the pores and causes pimples. It is more common in boys than in girls.

I posted this same thing a while back!┬Ā Most of the moms then said I was nuts but I really believe this was the case with my DD.┬Ā I BF for a year with her and had my periods┬Āfrom 4 months on ward.┬Ā In fact, I could tell by my DD's moodiness WHEN I was going to get my period since it was always two days before.┬Ā She would get super clingy, cranky, and now that you mention it, pimples too!┬Ā I totally believe there is something going on there!
I am thankful to share my life with our little June Bug, who never fails to amaze me everyday.
Born 6/12/2010
Oh good, well that makes two of us at least!┬Ā Yeah, the pimples are very clear sign to me that something is up because DS otherwise has perfect skin.┬Ā He never gets them except when I'm about to get my period.
"Be careful how you speak to your children. One day it will become their inner voice." - Peggy O'Mara
I was inclined to think that you were just crabbier and so you either thought he was crabbier because you were in a bad mood or you were making him crabbier, but the pimple thing is definitely damning evidence :)

I realize this is an old post however, I find it very interesting.┬Ā My DD has been EXTREMELY irritated the last 2 days.┬Ā She is five months old and has been edgy, unsettled moody etc.┬Ā Come to find out this morning I got my first period.┬Ā There might seriously be something to this.┬Ā Someone should test this.┬Ā
So glad someone unburied this!┬Ā I'm pregnant now and totally forgot about this phenomenon.┬Ā Scares me to think what else I've forgotten!

The central teachings of traditional Christianity are that Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; that his life on earth, his crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension into heaven are proof of God's love for humanity and God's forgiveness of human sins; and that by faith in Jesus one may attain salvation and eternal life (see creed). This teaching is embodied in the Bible, specifically in the New Testament, but Christians accept also the Old Testament as sacred and authoritative Scripture.
Christian ethics derive to a large extent from the Jewish tradition as presented in the Old Testament, particularly the Ten Commandments, but with some difference of interpretation based on the practice and teachings of Jesus. Christianity may be further generally defined in terms of its practice of corporate worship and rites that usually include the use of sacraments and that are usually conducted by trained clergy within organized churches. There are, however, many different forms of worship, many interpretations of the role of the organized clergy, and many variations in polity and church organization within Christianity.
In the two millennia of its history Christianity has been divided by schism and roiled by heresy, based on doctrinal and organizational differences. Today there are three broad divisions, Roman Catholic, Orthodox Eastern, and Protestant; but within the category of Protestantism, there is a particularly large number of divergent denominations. Because of the complexity of these differences this article will describe the history of Christianity only to 1054, when the schism between Eastern and Western churches became final. Separate articles detail the history and doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Eastern Church and of the other churches of ancient origin, the Armenian Church, the Coptic Church (see Copts), the Jacobite Church, and the Nestorian Church. In the 16th cent. another major schism took place in the Western Church with the Protestant Reformation. For the Protestant churches, see Protestantism and articles on the separate churches. For the 20th-century movement that seeks to end the divisiveness in Christianity and achieve reunion, see ecumenical movement.
Christianity is in a direct sense an offshoot of Judaism, because Jesus and his immediate followers were Jews living in Palestine and Jesus was believed by his followers to have fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah. Following a trend of proselytization in the Judaism of that period Christianity was from its beginnings expansionist. Its early missionaries (the most notable of whom was St. Paul, who was also responsible for the formulation of elements of Christian doctrine) spread its teachings in Asia Minor, Alexandria, Greece, and Rome. Missions have remained a major element in Christianity to the present day.
For the first three centuries of Christianity, history is dependent on apologetic and religious writings; there are no chronicles (see patristic literature). Historians differ greatly on how far back the 4th-century picture of the church (which is quite clear) can be projected, especially respecting organization by bishops (each bishop a monarch in the church of his city), celebration of a liturgy entailing a sacrament and a sacrifice, and claims by the bishop of Rome to be head of all the churches (see papacy). There is evidence for these features in the 2d cent. A first problem for Christians was how to resist attempts to interpret the new beliefs in pagan terms (e.g., Gnosticism). The earliest sectarian deviations were those of Marcion and of Montanus (2d cent.). They were handled resolutely by the church; the teachers of novelty were expelled (excommunicated).
For 250 years it was a martyrs' church; the persecutions were fueled by the refusal of Christians to worship the state and the Roman emperor. There were persecutions under Nero, Domitian, Trajan and the other Antonines, Maximin, Decius, Valerian, and Diocletian and Galerius; Decius ordered the first official persecution in 250. In 313, Constantine I and Licinius announced toleration of Christianity in the Edict of Milan. In the East the church passed from persecution directly to imperial control (caesaropapism), inaugurated by Constantine, enshrined later in Justinian's laws, and always a problem for the Orthodox churches. In the West the church remained independent because of the weakness of the emperor and the well-established authority of the bishop of Rome.
For 300 years after A.D. 275 the church in the East was occupied with doctrinal controversies—Arianism, Nestorianism, Monophysitism, and Monotheletism. These arguments concerned the manner in which Jesus is both divine and human. Decisions were made at a series of general councils of bishops (see council, ecumenical); at them was composed the Nicene Creed. These centuries saw a series of Christian writers of unequaled influence (the Fathers of the Church): Origen, St. Athanasius, St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Gregory Nazianzen, St. John Chrysostom, and Theodoret writing in Greek; St. Ambrose, St. Jerome, and St. Augustine writing in Latin. Origen and St. Jerome had a special role in the church's work of determining and preserving the text of the Bible.
From the 3d cent. monasticism was one element of the church. It was first organized by St. Basil. In the West monasticism was central to the missionary work of St. Martin (Gaul, 4th cent.) and St. Patrick (Ireland, 5th cent.). It received definitive shape from St. Benedict and St. Gregory the Great, who thereby generated a mode of life of continuing vitality in the Roman Catholic Church.
German invasions slowed the conversion of Western Europe (e.g., that of England was recommenced in the 6th cent.). Most of the first invaders were converted to Arian Christianity, but the pagan Franks (with Clovis) adopted orthodox Christianity, a fact that probably helped to consolidate their rule. Out of this kingdom came Pepin and Charlemagne, who, by alliance with the papacy and proclamation of an empire (800), charted an ideal of the Middle Ages.
In the 7th and 8th cent. the Eastern Church lost to Islam all Asia except Asia Minor. Alienation from the West was exacerbated by the bitter struggle over iconoclasm; ecclesiastical animosity between Rome and Constantinople came to a head in the schism of the 9th cent. This schism centered on the addition of the Filioque to the Nicene Creed (see creed) in the West and on the western church's use of unleavened bread in the celebration of the mass and insistence on clerical celibacy. The division between East and West grew wider and attained a sort of legal permanence in 1054 (see Leo IX, Saint). Eastern and Western Christendom were already in the 9th cent. two different cultures; their one common tie was the Christian doctrine—even worship and practices were very different. From this time it is customary to distinguish Christian history in its Eastern and Western streams as that of the Orthodox Eastern Church and Roman Catholic Church.

Finkel, The Pharisees and the Teacher of Nazareth (1964); H. Marrou et al., The Christian Centuries (1964); J. G. Davies, The Early Christian Church (1965); H. Chadwick, The Early Church (1967); R. M. Grant, Augustus to Constantine (1970); R. W. Southern, Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages (1970); R. Fletcher, The Barbarian Conversion (1998).
Outside of Christianity, the term "born again" is occasionally used to describe beliefs characterised by renewal, resurgence or return.
The Christian use of the term is derived from Jesus' words to Jewish leader Nicodemus as recorded in the third chapter of the Gospel of John:
Some Christian denominations hold that a person must be born again in some sense to be a Christian and are explicit about this with their use of the words. The term is most popular in the USA, and is making inroads into other parts of the world. The meaning of born again varies among Christian traditions as how literally or symbolically they take the term and how central it is within their belief system:
For believers in the third group above being 'Born Again' does not require being baptized in water submersion nor being filled with the holy spirit, for them these are extra events that are only for those who are already 'saved' and hence would be going to heaven when they die. "According to your confession of faith, I now baptize you in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit" - Baptist pastor prior to water immersion. "... Forgive me for I am a sinner...I accept you [Jesus] as my lord and savior..." excerpt from a prayer of repentance used by mainstream and pentecostal churches to receive salvation.
In theology, the study of salvation is called soteriology. The idea of being "born again" carries with it the soteriological idea that a Christian is a "new creation," given a fresh start by the action of God, freed from a sinful past life and able to begin a "new life" in relationship with Christ via the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul described it as such:
John Wesley and Christians associated with early Methodism referred to the "born again" experience as "the New Birth." They based this on the previously cited biblical passages and including the following:
According to the Gospel of John, chapter 3, Jesus originated the term "born again" while teaching Nicodemus, a rabbi of the Jewish sect known as the Pharisees. The traditional Jewish understanding of the promise of salvation was that being rooted in "the seed of Abraham" referred to physical (genetic) lineage from Abraham. Jesus explained to Nicodemus that this doctrine was in error—that one must be born a second time through spiritual rebirth. Jesus' discourse with Nicodemus established the Christian belief that all human beings—whether Jew or Gentile—must be "born again" of the spiritual seed of Christ.
The Apostle Paul further reinforced this understanding in his epistle to the Galatians, chapter 3, and in .
In recent history, born again is a term that has been associated with evangelical renewal since the late 1960s, first in the United States and then later around the world. Associated perhaps initially with Jesus People and the Christian counterculture, born again came to refer to an intense conversion experience, and was increasingly used as a term to identify devout believers. By the mid 1970s, born again Christians were increasingly referred to in the mainstream media as part of the Born Again Movement. Based on most exit polls of the 2004 US presidential election, born again Christians were a major factor in the re-election of George W. Bush.
In 1976 a book titled Born Again was published by Watergate conspirator and convicted felon Charles Colson. It describes his path to faith in conjunction with his criminal imprisonment and played a significant role in solidifying "Born Again" identity as a cultural construct in the U.S. The term was sufficiently prevalent that during the year's Presidential campaign Jimmy Carter described himself as born again, notably in the first Playboy magazine interview of a U.S. Presidential candidate. Modern musicians Rev. Little Richard Penniman, Mark Farner, Dan Peek, Donna Summer, Bob Dylan., Kerry Livgren, Dave Hope, Dave Mustaine, Nicko McBrain, Roger McGuinn, Johnny Cash, Brian Welch, Keith Farley and Alice Cooper were artists whose born again conversions had an impact on modern culture. Others such as James Cash Penney, C. S. Lewis, WWE superstar Shawn Michaels, Charlie Daniels, and Mr. T are also mentioned as being born again. Former Alabama governor and US presidential candidate George Wallace became born again in the late 70s, which led him to apologize for his earlier segregationist views.

Happy Chinese New Year, and the year of the horse! Like most cultures, the Chinese have some very special new years customs. Based largely around luck and prosperity for the year ahead, here are our top 10 Chinese new year superstitions:
1 – Always ensure you have a tidy house before the new year as cleaning, sweeping and hovering are all forbidden. If you do clean, you'll sweep all the good luck away.
2 – No hair washing. This is bad luck as it's seen as washing away your luck and fortune.
3 – No use of sharp objects like scissors – you'll cut your good luck away.
4 – No foul language or telling of ghost stories – it's 'inauspicious'.
5 – No matter how wild your party, don't take out your rubbish, you'll chuck out all the good luck!
6 – Wear red or bright coloured clothes as they'll bring good luck. Don't wear black as it's a sign of death and bad omen.
7 – Wear new clothes to bring in the new year. Good luck and a good excuse to buy new clothes!
8 – Eat sweets (usually traditional Chinese sweets) - they'll bring in a sweet year ahead.
9 – Whatever the weather, open all the windows in your house on new years day to let all the good luck in.
10 – Absolutely no crying – start the year as you mean to go on! If you cry on the first day of the year, it's believed you will cry throughout the year.

TCU Football Makes Statement in Peach Bowl by Crushing Ole Miss 42-3
What appeared to be a marquee matchup between TCU's No. 4 offense vs. Ole Miss' No. 12 defense instead turned out to be more about the other two units on the field.
What appeared to be a marquee matchup between TCU's No. 4 offense vs. Ole Miss' No. 12 defense instead turned out to be more about the other two units on the field.
Charlie Strong has the Longhorns in a bowl game in his first season as head coach, and like Arkansas the Longhorns had to rally to get into bowl season.
This is the first time in over 20 years that the Camellia Bowl will make a reappearance. The bowl game involves teams from the Sun Belt Conference and the Mid Atlantic Conference and is based in Montgomery Alabama. The most valuable player trophy is named after hometown legend Bart Starr.
Coach Mark Hudspeth leads a wide open offense that loves putting big points. His general on the field is Terrance Broadway a three year starter and 2012 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl MVP.
The Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl features the first selection from the Mountain West Conference against the #6 selection from the Pac-12 Conference. This year it's Colorado State and Utah doing battle.
This time it's the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide, though, who haven't likely forgotten the Aggies last trip to Tuscaloosa on November 10, 2012. Some kid named Johnny Manziel effectively sealed up the Heisman Trophy that day by leading the Aggies to a 29-24 win.
It's important to remember that there are no automatic qualifiers to the Playoff – the Selection Committee is tasked with selecting the four best teams for the Playoff, but there are no set criteria to determine what that means.
Auburn heads to Kansas State Thursday night in a game that will tell us whether or not the defending national runner-up Tigers are capable of possibly making a run at one of the four spots in the initial College Football Playoff.
Though it's not a film that deserves the 18% rating on www.rottentomatoes.com, it's definitely a forgettable film with very forgettable performances that fall in to the "been there done that" area of sports films.
RattleandHumSports.com photographer James Morrison captured these images of the stadium's renovation as the Aggies 2014 season gets underway this Thursday at South Carolina.

Kids with cameras highlight diversity and disparities in Mozambique
Maputo, 19 October 2006 – An exhibition of photographs taken by Mozambican children between the age of 10 and 14 years opens on Saturday 21 October at the Centro Franco-Moçambicano as part of PhotoFesta 2006.
The exhibition Crianças com Câmaras (kids with cameras) is a joint photography initiative organized by the Mozambican Association of Photography and UNICEF to create opportunities for children to express themselves on issues that affect them.
As part of the project, more than 30 children in two primary schools – one city school and one rural school – participated in a series of workshops with professional photographers in October. Through the process of learning photography, the children looked at their surroundings from a new perspective and brought to light the diversity and disparities that exist in their communities.
Each young photographer chose one of his or her photograph for the exhibition. The photographs on exhibition illustrate how they see the world around them and depict various aspects of growing up in Mozambique.
The exhibition marks the 60th anniversary of UNICEF at the global level and more than 30 years of presence in Mozambique as part of the United Nations family. Giving children a voice and engaging them in dialogue and exchange on their own terms, within their own realities and in pursuit of their own visions, hopes and concerns has been one of UNICEF's key guiding principles since its creation.
"Children have the right to express their views and to participate in decisions that affect their lives," says UNICEF Representative Leila Gharagozloo Pakkala. "They have ideas, experience and insights that enrich our understanding of the world and the problems we face."
In 1946, the United Nations brought UNICEF to life during the very first session of the General Assembly to respond to the millions of displaced and refugee children deprived of shelter, clothing and food in the aftermath of World War II. In the six decades since it was formed, UNICEF has evolved from an emergency fund to a development agency committed to protecting the rights of children, wherever they may be, no matter what the conditions of their lives.
UNICEF opened its first office in Mozambique in 1975. Over the past 30 years, UNICEF has worked with Mozambicans through challenges of war, peace-building, poverty, natural disasters and the surge of HIV/AIDS. It has also shared some significant successes, such as the rise in primary school enrolment from 32 per cent in 1992 to 83 per cent today and the decrease in child mortality from 219 to 152 per 1,000 live births. Today, Mozambican children are more likely to live beyond their fifth birthday than twenty years ago but mortality rates remain high. Every day, 320 children under five are lost to preventable and treatable diseases, such as malaria, respiratory infections and diarrhea. AIDS-related illnesses are quickly catching up.
The 2007-2009 Country Programme of Cooperation between the Government of Mozambique and UNICEF for the next three years aims to reduce disparities in the well-being of children. The programme supports national efforts to improve service delivery in child health and nutrition; basic education, water, sanitation and hygiene, child protection and social policy, advocacy and communication. Interventions to support children and families infected and affected HIV and AIDS cut across all aspects of the programme.
