MCConfig is a Minecraft Crafting/Smelting Recipe maker. Using it you can for example add or edit Crafting or Smelting Recipes, however you can also add more fuels or enable features such as flying is survival or better plants (saplings plant themselves, flowers spread on dirt, etc.). Feel like making one dirt block making 64 diamond blocks? Why not? Or why not make a recipe that makes grass blocks by combining seeds and dirt? It's up to you. And at the end you can even export and share your recipes.
You will need the 'Zombe ModPack' to use it. Please note: This program is compatible with any Minecraft version as long as the Zombe ModPack is updated. However, some items/block may not be known by MCConfig and might be marked as 'unknown'. As long as you know the item's/block's id you can simply enter it and ignore MCConfig's 'unknown'-message. As long as Minecraft knows it it will work. (Even items from mods will work that way.) You can find out the vanilla item/block ids here: http://www.minecraft...iki/Data_values

Johnny Depp does not want to win an Oscar
London: Johnny Depp is satisfied with his Oscar nominations and does not want to win an Oscar ever.

In an interview, the 'Black Mass' actor said that he doesn't want to win one of those things (Oscar) ever, adding that the idea of winning means that you were in competition with someone, The Independent reports.
The 52-year-old actor said that he was not in competition with anybody.
Earlier, Depp was nominated for his roles in the first Pirates of the Caribbean, Finding Neverland and Sweeney Todd.
'Black Mass' has got thumbs up from the critics and is in cinemas in the United States.

Like a lot of things in the early days of Web development, many Macromedia users were self-taught.
But as the Web development business has matured, so have the various training and certification options available for Macromedia products, and, in 2001, Macromedia began its certification programs.
Macromedia Certified Professional status is the official certification designation for Macromedia product professionals. Currently, Macromedia offers four principal certifications:
- Certified Macromedia Flash MX Developer
- Certified Macromedia Flash MX Designer
- Certified ColdFusion MX Developer
- Certified Dreamweaver MX Developer
The Flash designations represent the inherent complexity of Flash MX. One certification isn't enough to cover the tremendous interactive potential and the traditional Flash design and rich media interactivity. The ColdFusion certification is the only one that provides a different distinction depending on your score. Above 80 percent makes you an "Advanced" developer. The Dreamweaver certification covers not only the Dreamweaver product but requires a solid understanding of Web layout and strategy as well.
How do you become a Macromedia Certified Professional?
To become certified in any of the four categories, you need to write a certification exam (available through VUE testing centers). Achieving the required passing score results in the title of Macromedia Certified Professional. There is no hands-on evaluation of skills; the tests consist of multiple-choice questions.
Macromedia provides a number of useful study guides with sample questions on its site to give you an idea of the types of things the exam will ask. There are also Macromedia Press Study Guides for each certification, which provide even more exposure to typical exam questions. The questions seem to range from the obvious to really particular things, along with a few items of minutiae that you could probably just figure out with a Help menu. Table A summarizes the certifications as described on the Macromedia site.
|Recommended experience
|Number of questions
|Passing score
|Flash MX Developer
|One to two years of object-oriented software development and/or scripting experience, involvement in Web design, production, and graphics creation, and experience with Macromedia Flash. Six months to one year of Web technology experience, such as HTML and JavaScript, experience with relational database design, and/or database interaction with Macromedia.
|70 min.
|70 percent
|Flash MX Designer
|One to two years of involvement in Web design, production, and graphics in the full development process in Web site creation; experience with Macromedia Flash. At least six months of experience with Macromedia Flash 5 and some experience with Macromedia Flash MX, experience with HTML and/or an HTML editor like Dreamweaver, and experience with Freehand and Fireworks or other similar type products. Experience creating professional high quality graphics.
|75 min.
|75 percent
|Coldfusion MX Developer
|Two or more years of experience with one or more programming languages. Experience in the applied use of an enterprise-level database server. One or more years of experience creating applications using ColdFusion.
|75 min.
|65 percent 80 percent to become Advanced Certified Coldfusion MX Developer
|Dreamweaver MX Developer
|Two or more years of experience in Web development. Job knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS syntax. Six months of experience with server-side scripting, experience in Web site management, experience creating and using professional high quality graphics. At least one year of experience using Dreamweaver or Ultra Dev.
|80 min.
|70 percent
What does it mean to be certified?
In general, Macromedia Certified Professional status means that you have a thorough understanding of the program and know how to make it do the things it's meant to do. In addition, it demonstrates a grasp of the purpose of the program and strategies for successful usage. I usually hate to oversimplify, but in my honest opinion, it really is that straightforward.
When you become a Macromedia Certified Professional, your name is added to Macromedia's listing of professionals and you get the right to use the Macromedia Certified Professional logo (subject to the provision of the usage guidelines). You can use this logo on your business card and resume Web site (similar to the Microsoft designations). Of course, certification also carries along with it the benefits that any type of certification promises: Greater prestige and the prospect of greater earnings.

I have lots of things to write about but, today, no time to do it in. Just when I was awakening from a nap which was intended to help me recover from a trip to town for provisions, just when I was awakening to sit down to compose today's post, my friend Ronny called to say he was bringing his daughter Theresa by within an hour to meet me.
My initial joke upon meeting her was how a father so unlikely could have such a beautiful daughter, but I was not exaggerating. Theresa is one of the most beautiful (and nicest) women I have ever met. Hell, she is one of the most beautiful woman I have never met. New York City beautiful. World class. I felt privileged to have met her under such favorable circumstances, to have been so highly recommended as someone worth knowing by a father she loves and respects.
My gain is no excuse for having missed writing today's post, but I don't care. I am an old man, which gave me license to have told her to her face how stunning she is. What she did not know is that I have always tried to surround myself by beautiful women, that as a connoisseur of beauty today was one of the high points of my life. Knowing beauty has been my life's work.
Meeting her threw me off my game. After a long visit and after they left, I took another nap and awoke at 2:00 am, a post not written.
But like I said before, I don't care. Meeting Theresa is one of the best things which has ever happened to me.

Tops – You'll find casual tank tops, button down shirts and all the trendy tops at the moment. Bottoms – Find jeans for each event and pants you can wear to some party or to work. In regards to sizes, most shops will feature regular misses size clothing. Many have junior sizes, particularly if they're geared toward a younger customer base.

I added to the article a bit. Any suggestions as to what else to add to it? I've not played XD so if Snagem Hideout appears in that game, someone else will need to edit it. Cheesedude 00:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
If two of the grunts were Wakin and Biden then the third on was likely Agrev - the one that had the Shadow Ursaring. Biden had the Smeargle and Wakin was the second-in-command. Cheesedude 16:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I added the bit describing the Snagem Hideout in the Post Game of XD. I couldn't make the format look exactly right though so someone else will have to fix it. Also this description might be a bit much for this article but there was no description of the location before so I added it. Shambles12 (talk) 08:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

There are two reasons why individuals need a dental crown lengthening procedure: to properly restore a tooth or to make a "gummy smile" more attractive and cosmetic dentistry can help with both.
To properly restore a tooth, several millimeters of healthy tooth structure must be available above the crest of supporting bone. However, this often is not the case when teeth are fractured, severely decayed, or worn. If enough tooth structure is not available, and the restorations are placed too close to the bone, the body reacts by creating a chronic inflammatory reaction that can create red, swollen, and sensitive gums. The gums can bleed easily and even become painful. Eventually, the inflammatory reaction may lead to bone loss around the tooth. To prevent these problems and to properly restore the tooth, the patient should have a dental crown lengthening procedure before restorative treatment.
The gummy smile may be the result of gum tissue growing over teeth that are of proper size. Often times teeth that appear small are, in fact, normal-sized teeth that are hiding under excess gum tissue. Dental crown lengthening removes the excess gum tissue and establishes a more appealing gum line.
Dental crown lengthening is a surgical procedure in which gum and bone tissue is removed from the circumference of the tooth. It is done in the dentist's office with local anesthesia (lidocaine). One or several teeth can be treated at the same time. After carefully reshaping the gum and the bone to expose healthy tooth structure, stitches (sutures) are placed to aid in healing. The stitches are usually removed five to ten days after the surgery. Follow-up appointments are scheduled as necessary to evaluate healing and plaque control. The gums should be allowed to heal for six to eight weeks before making any new restorations. At that time, the gums are more stable and better esthetic results can be achieved.
Post-surgical discomfort can last a few days and is usually minimal. It can be easily managed with commonly available over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Patients can expect to follow their normal routine the day after surgery.
Crown lengthening is recommended to properly restore a broken down tooth or to improve the esthetics of a gummy smile. If a general or cosmetic dentist does not frequently do surgeries, he or she may refer the individual to a periodontist who specializes in dental crown lengthening.

You'd be amazed (and probably delighted) by the options modern dentistry makes available for strong, natural-looking tooth restoration. Read on for more information about the exciting new cosmetic dental materials we have available now.
Traditionally, gold has been the "gold standard" of materials, and for good reason. Gold is highly biocompatible and is very long-wearing. A gold tooth, however, is not natural looking.
Today's a porcelain crowns or veneers don't mean choosing between strength and a lifelike appearance. You can opt for both. New all-porcelain crowns and veneers are available that look like natural teeth. They're durable enough to be used even for molars. This super-strong new generation porcelain is so resilient and tough it's being used in the manufacture of some tennis rackets!
Silver fillings (the kind that turn black) are a thing of the past. Instead, a composite resin filling can be used. And it's just as strong and durable as silver, and more closely reflects the color of the original tooth surface.
If you've had some cosmetic dentistry work done in the past, you'll be happy to know you're no longer locked into the choices of even five years ago. Modern dentistry is evolving rapidly, and fresher, more natural smiles, are the result.
Make sure your cosmetic dentist's office is interested in what's new for their patients. Ask them about other exciting new options (dental implants, teeth bleaching, onlays, inlays, etc.) they can offer you for your smile.

EDM Superstar Zedd Reveals New Trailer for Upcoming Documentary [WATCH]
As we quickly approach the premiere of the full-length feature film, Zedd gave us a taste of what we can expect. The film will take us into the life of the German superstar producer, from his production process to the way he interacts with fans and the visions and ideas behind the unique True Colors debut album release.
The film, produced by Susan Bonds and Alex Lieu, delves into the one-of-a-kind experiences Zedd brought to his fans last year when he travelled to 11 cities and created scavenger hunts with spectacular prizes.
Most interestingly, the film features input from Zedd's closest family, friends and business partners, including his brother, father, and Interscope co-founder Jimmy Iovine.
The Grammy-winning producer's film will see its premiere on June 2 nd at the Los Angeles Film Festival and will be preceded by an acoustic performance from Zedd himself with a special guest artist.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a car wreck, you need to know your rights in terms of vehicle injury case settlements. Our law firm can help you reach such a settlement in the legal realm by filing a claim against the at-fault driver or his or her insurance company.
One of the first things you'll need is to determine what your injury is worth, or how much your case settlement should be. Your car accident lawyer as well as your insurance company, or the at-fault driver's insurer, each will determine their own belief of what that amount should be, based on formulas concerning the nature and extent of your injury.
Part of setting the amount for settlements depends on medical costs, lost present and future wages and other out-of-pocket expenses, or economic damages. Another part of vehicle injury settlements concerns non-economic damages, such as the pain and suffering of the victim.
Keep in mind that Texas is a "fault" car insurance state, so you can file a personal injury lawsuit or liability insurance claim against the other driver based on that driver being at fault.
As far as the target of your lawsuit, car insurance is a big factor. You may be making a claim under your own policy, or you may be making a claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company, or what is called a third-party insurance claim.
In Texas, state law requires all drivers to carry auto insurance. However, as many as 20 per cent of drivers do not. You can protect yourself by carrying "uninsured motorist insurance" or "underinsured motorist insurance" with your own policy.
Such insurance is not required by state law, but it can be vital in protecting you if the other driver lacks insurance and also lacks the means to pay you for your damages. All insurers in Texas are required to offer these insurance coverage options.
When car insurance is available for reaching vehicle injury case settlements, here are the minimum car insurance coverage requirements for Texas: $25,000 for property damage per accident, $30,000 for bodily injury per person and $60,000 for bodily injury per accident if two or more people are injured.
You also should be aware of Texas laws governing how long you have to file a car injury lawsuit. The "statute of limitations" in Texas for personal injury cases allows you two years from the date of the injury to file a civil lawsuit in the proper branch of the court system. (Texas Civil Practice Code, Title 2 section 16.003.)
To seek such vehicle injury case settlements in Texas, many persons rely on experienced personal injury lawyers such as those at Jim Adler & Associates. Your car wreck injury attorney from our law firm will have skill and experience in negotiating settlements and can ensure your legal rights are protected.
Notify our law firm today for assistance with your vehicle injury settlement. We'll start by providing you with a free legal consultation. Then you can decide how you want to proceed.
Thousands of Texans over the past 40 years have sought fair and just vehicle injury case settlements with the help of Jim Adler & Associates.

Pushing the Boundaries
Traditional field boundaries are a characteristic feature of Scilly's farmed landscape and historically are an important asset to the Islands.
This AONB championed project, which gained funding from the Isles of Scilly Local Action Group (LAG), aims to unlock the economic, cultural and educational potential of Scilly's traditional stone walls and to understand how they can be maintained, and where possible, restored in ways that:
– Facilitate the recovery of derelict farmland and the better management of active farmland;
– Realise the capacity of traditional stone walls to support the reintroduction of grazing stock, as supported by the 'special Scilly options' for Environmental Stewardship introduced by Natural England in 2009;
– Conserve and enhance the historic and biodiversity value of the traditional stone walls that are iconic features of the Scillonian landscape;
-Minimise the need for modern stock-proof enclosures that do not enhance the AONB or Conservation Area;
-Enhance residents' and visitors' appreciation of the historic, environmental and economic importance of Scilly's traditional stone walls;
– Support tourism by generating new insights into the historic and habitat value of stone walls, through interpretative media, exhibitions and printed materials.
– Scope the value of training in traditional dry-stone walling techniques.
Project Results
Surveys to assess the ecological and historical value of Scilly's stone walls have been undertaken on Bryher, St Agnes, St Martin's, St Mary's and Tresco. The historic survey also assessed the condition of walls and the availability of stone which is essential in any future wall restoration project. Please follow these links for the main results of the biodiversity survey and historic environment/condition survey. The full survey results are also available (Biodiversity and Historic Environment/Condition)

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I like this control very much, Perfect solution for 3D flip. But when i am on the way of evolution for using this in my project, i got one issue. It might be not be an issue, like lack of knowledge. I observed that front and back sides of the frame size
is not changing. Let me explain more clear.
I wanted to use 3D flip panel in a health care Application. Front side of view is a list of patients from database. When i selected a patient record [Contains only patientID, Name, Date of birth] that should show all the details of the patient in back view
while flip. I am able to flip but patient details are high in number back view size is not changing. This means, back view also showing in the same size on front view. How to fix this issue???
Thanks in advance.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Musician78, Sep 26, 2010.
to one of the extra homescreens from th main homescreen . How do I do that?
Are you referring to just sliding one of the apps from the main home screen to one of the ones on the side? If so just long hold on the icon till it can be dragged around and then just slide it towards the side that you want to move it too and push towards the edge until it slides over.
You can choose where to put shortcuts, they don't have to go to the "main" homescreen. Go to the screen you want the shortcut on, then open your app drawer. Long-press the app icon, and place it on said screen. If you've already added the icon and simply want to move it, do what obstar85 said above.

It isn't so much difficult as time-consuming:
1. Niche-oriented content -- there has to be a market for what you write about.
2. Get traffic by using good SEO, networking and building back links through article submissions.
3. Keep visitors on your pages with interesting content and media. The longer they visit, the more likely they are to click.
4. Recognize that it takes time. My own AdSense agenda is going up slowly, but it IS going up and to be honest, I don't put in a lot of time because I make my living writing for others. The average Joe or Jane can do it! I'm very much an average Jane. :)

Country Risk Update
Welcome to the latest issue of D&B's Country Risk Update.
Uncertainty will continue to dominate the global environment in the early months of 2015, at the very least. The belated introduction of the ECB's quantitative easing (QE) programme worth EUR60bn (USD68bn) per month from March does not appear to have impressed the markets. It is also adding further fuel to the currency war debate as the euro weakens and US dollar strengthens following the end of the US Federal Reserve's QE programme (worth USD85bn per month) in 2014. The rout in oil prices (with a fall of around 60% since June 2014) allied to weakening commodity prices is adding a further layer of complexity, particularly in relation to the threat of deflation in the euro zone. Finally, political and security factors relating to Russia, the Middle East and the future of Greece in the EU, further undermine the outlook.
The diverging growth patterns among the largest economies are evidently intensifying as the Fed readies to hike rates. In the US and UK growth remains on an upward trend, if lower than potential. However, demand weakness in Japan, China and the euro zone is a dampener on other economies, in particular the commodity-exporting countries.
This complimentary newsletter from D&B's Country Insight Services group has been put together by their team of experts using the most up-to-date information to provide a snapshot of the latest macro market risk situation, and provides an excellent overview for those exposed to cross-border credit or investment risks.

U.S. Concerned Over Frayed Israel-Turkey Ties
State Department spokesperson urges the two U.S. allies to resolve their differences amicably and is meeting with leaders to help facilitate a detente.
The United States is concerned about tensions between Israel and Turkey and Ankara's threats to slap additional sanctions on Israel, and is endeavoring to mend fences between the two parties, a U.S. State Department spokesperson said Tuesday.
The spokesperson, Victoria Nuland, also praised the United Nations report on the 2010 Gaza flotilla incident, the event that most contributed to the rift between Israel and Turkey.
Nuland said that U.S. Secretary of State Clinton and the U.S. Ambassador in Ankara recently met at length with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to try to diffuse the tensions.
The comments from the U.S. State Department follow days of increased tension between Israel and Turkey, both strategic allies of the U.S. that enjoyed a decades-long convivial relationship until recent years.
After the contents of a UN report on the Gaza flotilla and the loss of life that resulted from it, the Palmer Report, were leaked to the press, Turkey downgraded relations with Israel to the rank of only second secretary, formally expelling the Israeli Ambassador to Ankara.
On Monday, Israeli tourists were reportedly treated with contempt by Turkish airport officials, supposedly in response to humiliation meted out to Turkish tourists to Israel.
"We are concerned", said Nuland. "We have over many months tried to work with our ally Turkey and our ally Israel to strengthen and improve their bilateral relationship. We still believe that getting back to a good partnership between them is in each of their interests, and we will continue to work for that goal with both of them."
"There are freedom of navigation issues for both Turkey and for Israel, but we want to avoid future confrontations and we want both of these strong allies of the United States to get back to a place where they have a good working relationship with each other".
Nuland added that the United States appreciates the publication of the Palmer Report. "We particularly note some of the recommendations at the end of the report with regard to how similar situations could be avoided in the future," Nuland said, "and we call on all relevant parties to take note of those and to use them well."
Senior U.S. officials Dennis Ross and David Hales are meeting Israeli and Palestinian leaders this week in a bid to avert a diplomatic crisis over the Palestinians' UN membership later this month, Nuland said on Tuesday.
She called on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to "receive them and hear them with open ears and to continue to work hard with us to avoid a negative scenario in New York at the end of the month".
"We are going to continue to work right up till the UN General Assembly if necessary to get these parties back to the table, and we'll continue to work afterwards", she said. "That is where we are focused, and we will continue to oppose any one-sided actions at the UN. We are making that clear to both sides. We're going to use every day, every hour, every venue to try to get these parties back to the table".
Nuland also expressed concern over the Turkish decision to campaign for recognition of a Palestinian state at the UN, saying "of course it's a matter of concern, our position is well known. We think that taking action at the UN in September is not going to lead to lasting peace, two states side by side; only negotiations can do that"

The Process of Menstruation
Just as puberty begins in some girls earlier than for other girls, the same applies to a period. Some girls may get their periods as early as 10, while others as late as 15.
It's easy to focus on the visible part of having a period, the blood. However, you may not have learned what happens before you get your period.
To help describe the "before" part, we will tell you about the process of ovulation and menstruation.
All girls are born with ovaries, fallopian tubes, and a uterus. Ovaries contain thousands of eggs, called ova. One egg is called an Ovum, which is Latin for "egg." When your body is ready for puberty, the pituitary gland in your brain releases hormones that stimulate the ovaries to produce other hormones know as estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are what cause your body to undergo numerous physical emotional changes, such as body hair growth, development of breasts, and mood swings.
When your body is ready, a tiny egg leaves the ovary and travels down one of the fallopian tubes toward the uterus each month, and exits through your cervix and vagina. This process from start to finish is known as ovulation and about two weeks after this process, you get your period.
While the ovum begins its travel, the endometrial lining is preparing for its arrival. The endometrial lining is there to provide nourishment should pregnancy occur: if the egg is fertilized by a sperm, it will travel to the uterus and attach itself to the thick endometrial lining, where it will slowly develop into a baby. If the egg is not fertilized, which is the case most of the time, it will pass through the cervix. Occasionally, this may leave brown discharge, also known as spotting.
About two weeks later, the uterus will shed this extra lining. For 3-7 days (everyone is different), the extra tissue, blood and unfertilized egg leave the
uterus, clearing out the old padding and creating a clean environment for another ovum to make its journey to the outside world, next month. This is known as a girl's menstrual period, and about 2-4 tablespoons of blood is shed every month. The color of the blood can vary from pink or red, the deepest purple-blue, even brown or black!
This cycle repeats roughly once a month, on average every 24 to 36 days (unless the woman is pregnant) until a woman reaches her fifties, when her ovaries no longer release eggs. This stage is known as menopause.

Baldwin Incurs Wrath of Philippine Officials
Actor Alec Baldwin has been threatened with violence by a politician in the Philippines after making a joke about a Filipino mail-order bride.
The 30 Rock star, who has a teenage daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger, made the comment during an appearance on TV's The Late Show with David Letterman last week, when he was asked if he'd like to have more children.
He quipped, "(I'm) thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point… or a Russian one."
But the throwaway remark has provoked outrage in the Philippines and incurred the wrath of leading politicians.
Senator Ramon Revilla is particularly incensed by Baldwin's joke, denouncing the actor's comments as "insensitive and uncalled for" and branding him "arrogant" because the country has a law against such a practice.
But Revilla, a former action movie star, hasn't stopped there — he's vowed that Baldwin will learn the repercussions of his remark if he ever chooses to step foot in the Philippines, according to the Huffington Post.
He adds, "Let him try to come here in the Philippines and he'll see mayhem."

The Republic of Ireland is a country of about 4.5 million people. It achieved de facto independence from the UK in 1922, when the southern, largely Catholic 26 counties formed the Irish Free State within the British Commonwealth (the 6 predominantly Protestant countries of the north east formed Northern Ireland.) A fully sovereign Republic in the south was declared in 1949.

This condition is unusual in that it is applied in cases where there is some social discrimination, but it is not pervasive or nationwide. This condition is applied when there is sufficient background evidence to warrant the assertion that discrimination is not anomalous but widespread, and this condition may be applied for example even where if there is no legislative discrimination or where the non-religious may have legal recourse against such discrimination. However, societal discrimination (i.e. discrimination by peers, as opposed to state or legal discrimination) is not easily measured, and for this reason the Report does not currently have similar more severe boundary conditions to capture higher levels of social discrimination per se. In principle these may be introduced in future. However, we consider that countries with actual higher levels of social discrimination against the non-religious will generally already meet other higher level (more severe) boundary conditions under this thematic strand.

This condition highlights countries where schools subject children to fundamentalist religious instruction with no real opportunity to question fundamentalist tenets, or where lessons routinely encourage hatred (for example religious or ethnic hatred). The wording "significant number of schools" is not given a rigid quantification (sometimes the worst-offending schools are unregistered, illegal, or otherwise uncounted); however the condition is not applied in cases where only a small number of schools meet the description and may be anomalous, as opposed to being indicative of a widespread problem.

Constitution and government
The constitution and other laws and policies protect freedom of thought, conscience and religion, as well as freedom of expression, assembly and association. However, anti-blasphemy laws and state sponsorship of religion are in place (see below).
The Constitution of Ireland is an ostensibly secular, guaranteeing freedom of religion explicitly stating that "no law may be made either directly or indirectly to endow any religion". However, the preamble is far from secular:
"In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred…"
Whilst, article 44 (section 1) states:
"The State acknowledges that the homage of public worship is due to Almighty God. It shall hold His Name in reverence, and shall respect and honour religion."
Article 12, section 8 of the constitution demands that on taking office the President should declare:
"In the presence of Almighty God I do solemnly and sincerely promise and declare that I will maintain the Constitution of Ireland and uphold its laws, that I will fulfil my duties faithfully and conscientiously in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and that I will dedicate my abilities to the service and welfare of the people of Ireland. May God direct and sustain me."
The constitution also demands a similar declaration be made by incoming judges. No secular alternative is offered, effectively precluding atheists and agnostics from these important positions.
The report, "Equality for the Non Religious (2013)", conducted by the Humanist Association of Ireland said of the Constitution:
"If the Constitution is to be a document to speak for all citizens, its current wording fails that test. If the Constitution is to be a document to speak for all citizens, its current wording fails that test."
In July 2014 the UN Human Rights Committee criticised the Irish Government for not changing the religious Oath required for Judges.
Sectarian history
The dominant religion in Ireland has traditionally been Roman Catholicism, and the Catholic Church has influenced the island since the 4th century. Much of the island remained Catholic despite the reformation in England and Irish history has been dominated by ethno-religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. Resistance to British rule largely came from within the Catholic community (with some notable exceptions). Under British administration, the Catholic majority experienced high levels of legal and social discrimination, including restrictions on land ownership, limitations on religious practice and being barred from various political positions. Despite reforms, by the early 20th century discrimination was still widespread and was one of the factors fuelling an independence movement dominated by practising Catholics.
The Catholic Church came to be dominant in both the political system and civil society in the first decades of independence. Over 92% of people were recognised as Catholic, and this would only grow as many protestants left the Free State. The church also wielded significant political influence.
Religious pressure – but it's on the wane
Pressure from the Church resulted in bans on contraception (partially legalised in 1978) and divorce (legalised in 1997). Abortion remains illegal under the constitution and the last attempt at reform narrowly failed in a 2002 referendum. Censorship of books, plays, television and films was also widespread, especially those not congruent with Catholic dogma.
In recent years the Church's influence on Irish civil society has significantly waned. This is in part due to changes in demographics, urbanisation, and the country's emergence into the global economy. A series of Church scandals going back to the late 1990s, especially the Catholic Church Child Sex abuse appear to have played a huge role in plummeting church attendance. Whereas, back in the 1970s attendance had been recorded at 90%, recent surveys have recorded national weekly attendance at 30% with some parts of Dublin reporting attendance at less than 15% (though the 2011 census had 86% of the population identifying as Catholic).
Belief demographics
With the recent decline in the influence of the Church, the number of non-religious people has increased. According to the Census 2011 results:
"The total of those with no religion, atheists and agnostics increased more than four-fold between 1991 and 2011 to stand at 277,237 in 2011."
This figure represents 6% of the population. 84.2% of people still identified with the Catholic Church. However, recent opinion polls have suggested that these figures are not representative of religious practice. For example the 2012 Global Index on Religiosity and Atheism recorded that only 47% of those asked described themselves as "a religious person", 44% described themselves as "not religious" and %10 as "confirmed atheists".
Education and children's rights
The Church had dominated education in the country since British reforms in the 830s, a dominance that was expanded after independence. Currently, despite the church's decline in influence within the country as a whole, both the Primary and Secondary School sector is almost entirely controlled by religious organizations. Despite attempts by the current government to diminish some of the Catholic Church's influence, nearly 90% of primary schools are Catholic run and nearly half of Second Level schools are managed solely by the Catholic Church. The remaining schools are managed by Education & Training Boards and are described as multi-denominational state schools but nearly one hundred of these are run in partnership with the Catholic Church or the Church of Ireland.
The government has made some moves to end the Catholic Church's virtual monopoly on Ireland's education system and organizations like "Educate Together" have established a small number of "Multi Denominational" schools, run independently of any religious patron.
However, some "Multi Denominational" schools can still be involved in "faith formation" and their facilities can still be used for religious practices outside of school hours, if requested by parents.
There are currently no fully secular or "Non Denominational" schools in Ireland.
Publicly funded schools run by religious groups are permitted to refuse admission to a student not of that religious group if the school can prove the refusal is essential to the maintenance of the "ethos" of the school. Equalities legislation recognises nine "grounds" for discrimination which are gender, marital status, family status, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race and membership of the Traveller community. However, a school's admission policy can be exempt from the religious ground. According to the Equality Authority's own equalities guidance:
"A second exemption concerns schools where the objective is to provide education in an environment that promotes certain religious values. A school that has this objective can admit a student of a particular religious denomination in preference to other students".
Though non-denominational schools exist, they are few in number and places are in short supply. The Humanist Association of Ireland (an IHEU member organization) state in their report "Equality for Non-Religious People" that:
"The reality for many families is one of lack of choice of school in their locality and many are effectively forced to send their children to schools of a particular religious denomination whose ethos is not in conformity with their own"
Furthermore, religious schools may select its staff based on their religious beliefs. For example, section 12 of the 1998 Employment Equality act allows bodies to discriminate on religious grounds if "the provision of services in an environment which promotes certain religious values". Most teachers in Ireland are expected to teach religious (catholic) instruction.
According to the Humanist Association of Ireland:
"Despite the increasingly diverse society…the only route available…for an individual seeking qualification as a primary teacher is through a course taken at a college owned by a religious denomination."
Religious Education and Instruction
Though the rest of the state's national Curriculum is administered by the governmental "National Council for Curriculum and Assessment", according to the council, "The development of curriculum for Religious education remains the responsibility of the different church authorities."
This is usually, though not always, the Catholic Church. Parents have a constitutional right to exempt their children from religious instruction in schools, but parents who do not wish to have their children attend religious classes in school are routinely asked to supervise them personally during school hours because schools will not do so.
However, the curriculum at all levels, as it stands, does include discussions of humanism and atheism and covers the more general "Challenges to Faith".
No provision for the non-religious
In August 2014 the UN Human Rights Committee criticised the Irish government for its lack of provision of education to the non-religious and religious minorities stating:
"The Human Rights Committee is concerned about the slow progress in increasing access to secular education through the establishment of non-denominational schools, divestment of the patronage of schools and the phasing out of integrated religious curricula in schools accommodating minority faith or non-faith children."
Family, community and society
Abortion has been illegal in Ireland since British rule and remained so after independence. Recent legislation has made exception in cases where the mother's life is at risk. In part to prevent future attempts to legalise abortion, the eighth was passed by referendum and acknowledged –
"the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right"
The most recent referendum, in 2002, to amend the constitution failed by a margin of less than 1%. Many Irish women choose to have an abortion in the UK and there has been significant and legal wrangling debate over the how the right to travel might conflict with the right to life of the foetus.
Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values
Blasphemy Law (2009)
Article 40 of the constitution, though protecting freedom of religion and consciousness, also states that "The publication or utterance of blasphemous, seditious, or indecent matter is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law". In an attempt to clarify the constitutional implications of the blasphemy regulations within the constitution, lawmakers inserted a section on blasphemy to the Defamation Act of 2009. Section 36 of the act criminalizes the publishing or utterance of "blasphemous matter" and imposes a maximum fine of €25,000.Under the act a person has produced "blasphemous matter" if –
"(a) he or she publishes or utters matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion, and
(b) he or she intends, by the publication or utterance of the matter concerned, to cause such outrage".
Protection exists if:
"a reasonable person would find genuine literary, artistic, political, scientific, or academic value in the matter to which the offence relates".
So far, there has been no recorded prosecution under the Blasphemy Law. However, Islamic states and proponents of "blasphemy" and "defamation of religion" laws have pointed towards the Irish law to justify their own draconian legislation.
Recent Constitutional Developments
The Constitutional Convention, formed in December 2012, was convened to review various elements to the constitution, including the blasphemy section. The convention took submissions in favour of removing the blasphemy section from secular organizations Atheist Ireland and the Humanist Association of Ireland. The Council of Irish Churches, an organization representing an array of Christian denominations, also offered a submission in favour of repeal describing the blasphemy clause as "obsolete". The Knights of Saint Columbanus and the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland argued in favour of retention. The convention voted in favour of deletion of the clause but also recommended it be replaced with a prohibition against "incitement to religious hatred". It was confirmed that repeal of the Blasphemy Section will be put to a referendum sometime in 2015.
The report, "Equality for the Non Religious (2013)", conducted by the Humanist Association of Ireland said of the Constitution –
"If the Constitution is to be a document to speak for all citizens, its current wording fails that test. If the Constitution is to be a document to speak for all citizens, its current wording fails that test."
"In Ireland the non-religious are now the second largest group in Society after Roman Catholics but still face religious discrimination. The Irish Constitution beings with "In the name of the Holy Trinity" and Catholic social policy is reflected in many of our laws. The Catholic Church in Ireland controls the vast majority of publicly funded schools which have exemptions from equality laws. A religious oath is required to take up the office of President or to become a Judge and in 2010 Ireland introduced a new blasphemy law. It is time for Ireland to realise that it must comply with its human rights obligations and ensure that all citizens have rights regardless of their religious or philosophical convictions."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Ace Justin Masterson told reporters Tuesday that he is still waiting for a response from the Indians to his camp's offer to take less money and a shorter-termed contract to remain in Cleveland.
"(The Indians are) working through it to see what they can do, how they feel about it, all that," Masterson said after pitching four scoreless innings without allowing a hit Tuesday in a 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. "(Owner) Mr. Dolan's been out of town for a little while. He's back, so we'll see what happens. It's still as it was."
News broke of Masterson and his agent Randy Rowley offering a discount over a week ago. The pitcher, who signed a one-year, $9.7625 million contract to avoid arbitration in February, is reportedly seeking a three to four-year deal worth $40-$60 million.
If the Indians are waiting to see more evidence of Masterson's worth, he provided a sliver in his latest exhibition effort. The big right-hander did hit two batters and walk one, but the rest was perfect.
It was no surprise to see Masterson hit a batter. He led the majors with 17 last year and has been among the leaders in the category since becoming a fulltime starter with Cleveland in 2010.
One of the hit batsmen did come as a surprise -- former teammate Shelley Duncan.
"If you're right-handed, there's always a chance that if I lose a sinker it might go into your back," Masterson said. "It's nothing personal. Usually I don't apologize when I hit people, but for Shelley, I gave him a little, 'It wasn't on purpose, my bad."'
Third's the word
According to manager Terry Francona, time doesn't run out on Carlos Santana's chances to win the starting job at third base when the Indians break camp for Opening Day.
"April 1 is kind of an artificial deadline," Francona said. "We've got a long season ahead of us. Opening Day is a big day, but it's not the final day."
Santana's competition, Lonnie Chisenhall, still thinks he can win the job, despite owning a minor-league option.
"I'm not playing against Carlos," said Chisenhall, who hit his first home run in the Indians' win over the Diamondbacks. "He's already on the team. I'm not wishing anything bad on him. I want him to play well, offensively, but I'm going to go out there and win the third base job."
Chisenhall is batting .273 (6-for-22) with a homer and three RBIs, and hasn't committed an error in eight games. Santana is hitting .158 (3-for-19) with a double and three RBIs in six games. He has two errors, both of them on throws.
"I think he's done everything we've asked him to do," Francona said of Chisenhall. "It's not perfect for either guy. I realize that. We're trying to put the best team we can together, be fair and respectful of our players and then make a decision."
Fearless leader
Players rave about Francona as a manager, person and recruiter. Centerfielder Michael Bourn, who played under Francona for the first time during his debut season in Cleveland, is no different.
"From Game 1 to 162, he has the same routine and he's behind us," Bourn said. "He's not a manager that calls a whole bunch of meetings or tries to get on his players when he has a chance. He only speaks when he needs to speak. And when he speaks, you listen.
"He's been doing this for a long time. He just tries to stay behind us no matter what the situation is."
B there
It was a down day for two veteran pitching candidates -- starter Aaron Harang and reliever Scott Atchinson -- in a B game against the White Sox in Goodyear (7-7 tie).
Harang allowed two runs on five hits over three innings, but did strike out six. Atchinson allowed two runs on two hits and two walks over just 2/3 of an inning.
Bench candidate Elliot Johnson continued his hot spring with two hits. He's batting .375 (6-for-16) with two triples, a home run and five RBIs in seven exhibition games.
Outfielder Ryan Raburn returned to action after missing time with minor injuries. He went 2-for-3 with a double.
Roundin' third
- The Indians lead the Cactus League with a 10-2-1 record.
- Former Cleveland slugger Albert Belle did a guest spot for SportsTime Ohio during the game. Belle lives in Scottsdale.
- Indians single-game tickets went on sale Monday.
- Today, 4:05 vs. Padres at Goodyear Ballpark. Kluber (0-0, 3.00 ERA) vs. Ross (1-0, 0.00).

White Hart Loan V: Highlights of Tottenham's Adel Taarabt (QPR) vs Sheffield Wednesday
The latest installment of Moroccan Adel Taarabt's loan spell from Tottenham to now-managerless QPR continued on Monday in the 3-2 Easter win over Sheffield Wednesday at Loftus Road.
Rangers made wholesale changes from the defeat against Burnley at the weekend with no fewer than five changes to their starting the line-up. However, as has been common throughout Tarrabt's stay with Rangers, the twinkle-ties trickster was again afforded a free role in the side's attack.
Unlike previous week though, Tarrabt's brief saw the number 20 play centrally rather than in a wide position, with the youngster often seen dovetailing with striker Heidar Helguson through the middle.
Taarabt did not disappoint, looking menacing and creative throughout the contest, with the Moroccan unfortunate not to be directly involved in a goal-scoring situation before he was substituted in the 56th minute and QPR began their comeback from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
Highlights of Adel Taarabt's performance against Sheffield Wednesday can be seen here.

Youthful Indiscretion
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Shame and humiliation are the obverse side of pride and triumph, the common currency of adolescence. Very often, the former is a direct result of the latter — and so this new section, "Youthful Indiscretions." A space for memories of failures small and large, of hubris upbraided and whatever other, well, lapses of taste or judgement I find the courage to share with those who might be interested.
I am in large part inspired by an off-hand remark with which Livejournal's Mijopo recently reminded me of Steve Penney, a one-time goalie for the Montreal Canadiens who was, briefly, seen as the second coming of Ken Dryden.
Which led me to dig out one of my (thankfully) rare efforts at poetry. If I can trust the hand-written date scrawled at the bottom of my mimeographed copy (and I believe that I can), I wrote it in March of 1985. I was (it's hard to believe, but true) 20 years old and in my sixth (and last!) year of high school and I presented it to my creative writing class feeling smugly certain I had pulled off something both clever and moving.
My class-mates disagreed. Those who didn't get it thought it was stupid; and those who did get it? They thought it was stupid too. Click here if you want to pass your own judgement.
