text:
Surely this was not how most of its philosophers wanted liberalism or pluralism to turn out: a world in which steel gates have to be thrown up to protect life and property, and clothing torn off to protect both its wearers and its witnesses. When John Rawls wrote about how to construct political institutions and values able to reconcile social order with "the fact of pluralism," he counseled us to derive our approach to political justice and fairness from dispositions implicit in everyday interaction rather than from grand theological or philosophical schemes. Only by elevating "fundamental intuitive ideas" of fair play, social cooperation, and common sense to the level of organizing political principles could we avoid either endless bloody strife or—what seemed to him nearly as bad—a mere modus vivendi, a tense and always temporary stalemate in which balances of group and self-interest kept people from each others' throats while they waited for their own to reclaim the upper hand.

The Charter of Quebec Valuesposted by The Editors
On November 7th, 2013, on the heels of a heated public debate about the role of religion in public life, the government of Quebec tabled its controversial Bill 60, "Charte affirmant les valeurs de laïcité et de neutralité religieuse de l'État ainsi que d'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes et encadrant les demandes d'accommodement" (Charter affirming the values of state secularism and religious neutrality and of equality between women and men, and providing a framework for accommodation requests). The legislation, introduced by Bernard Drainville, the minister for Democratic institutions and active citizenship, seeks to affirm the religious neutrality of the state, specifically by prohibiting public sector employees—including those working in hospitals, schools, daycare centers, and universities—from wearing "signes ostentatoires" [conspicuous religious symbols], examples of which include hijabs, kippas, Sikh turbans, and "large" crucifixes. The legislation also proposes to amend Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, in order to enshrine the equality of men and women as the highest human right, to which other rights (e.g. freedom of religious expression) would be subordinated.
Genre, method, and assumptionsposted by Brad S. Gregory
More than 60 reviews of The Unintended Reformation have appeared since January 2012, including forums in four journals (Historically Speaking, Church History, Catholic Historical Review, Pro Ecclesia), in addition to the multiple sessions that have been devoted to the book at professional conferences. The responses here at The Immanent Frame add another ten. I am grateful to my colleagues for their responses, to Jonathan VanAntwerpen and The Immanent Frame for hosting them, and for the opportunity to reply. I am gratified the work has provoked discussion and debate that shows little sign of abating. I am also pleased that most reviewers have acknowledged the book's ambition and erudition, and that some regard it as an important analysis of modern Western history comparable to Charles Taylor's A Secular Age or Max Weber's Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Less satisfying (although not unpredictable) has been the ways in which the book has been misread, misunderstood, and misrepresented by some reviewers, including some respondents here.

Conceptualizing pluralism and consensus in the modern Western worldposted by Paul Silas Peterson
Without pointing out those places where I agree with Brad Gregory's The Unintended Reformation, I would like to add a qualification to his claim that the modern Western world is correctly described as "hyperpluralistic." The term "hyperpluralism" is sometimes used in socio-political discourse to refer to the fragmentation of political interest groups and the resulting challenges associated with forming coalitions. Gregory, however, often writes about "contemporary Western hyperpluralism with respect to truth claims about meaning, morality, values, priorities, and purpose." He thus uses the term in a more general sense, which includes moral, philosophical, cultural, political and theological aspects.
Occupy Gezi, beyond the religious-secular cleavageposted by Ateş Altınordu
The protests in Turkey started on May 27 with a modest resistance movement against the destruction of Istanbul's Gezi Park and the planned construction, in its place, of a replica of the Ottoman artillery barracks that formerly stood there (which, however, was also to include a shopping mall). The Occupy Gezi movement has since grown exponentially and spread to other Turkish cities, largely in response to police brutality and to the inflammatory speeches of Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The unprecedented scope and duration of the protests—and, even more importantly, the emergent movement's pluralistic composition and inclusive political style—make it a genuinely new phenomenon in the ninety-year history of the Republic.
Elizabeth Hurd on reimagining religious freedom as resistanceposted by Steven Barrie-Anthony
Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, co-Guest Editor of the TIF discussion series The politics of religious freedom, reflects on the sometimes paradoxical effects of the state promotion of religious freedom—and argues that Canada's proposed Office of Religious Freedom should adopt a more nuanced, less top-down approach.
Genealogy and pluralityposted by Akeel Bilgrami
Simon During's essay begins with a taxonomy that is harmlessly at odds with my own classification. He uses the term "secularization" as overarching and he calls what I describe as secularism or (S), "state secularization." He also describes (S) as a "negative" (as contrasted with Charles Taylor's "positive") form of "neutralism" regarding the state's relation to religions. I am less happy with having (S) described as any form of neutrality. But since his intentions here are no more than verbal, it would be fussy to say why, so I will simply ignore my differences on the matter as mere amicable disputation in the word.
On more substantial issues, his instinct is exactly right (and mine) when he says that Taylor wants a neutralism that is not necessarily secular. I wrote a fair number of words in my essay to try and make that instinct into a sound bit of criticism in political theory. I am sure that I have not persuaded Taylor, but it is gratifying to see that During and I share an understanding of Taylor. If he and I are right, Taylor's honorable and interesting effort to redefine secularism as his form of "neutralism" fails. Or at any rate—if one takes the view that definitions, being stipulative and conventional, cannot exactly fail—it is not theoretically well motivated. During doesn't mention his grounds for thinking Taylor to be wrong, but does gesture at broad agreement with the grounds I had presented.
Multiculturalism in Europeposted by The Editors
After the rise of multicultural policies in the 1980s and 1990s, the winds have shifted in Europe. Terrorist attacks in Madrid, London, Norway, and, most recently, in Toulouse, have furthered the securitization of Islam across Europe, while increasing immigration (predominantly from Muslim countries) has caused societal tensions. As a result, existing ideas concerning multiculturalism, religious pluralism, and national authenticity are being challenged. Past policies of cordon sanitaire are no longer in full effect, as mainstream political parties have come to adopt some of the ideas of their populist and right-wing peers; witness outgoing president Nicolas Sarkozy's campaign rhetoric against immigration and Muslims following the strong showing by right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen.
We've invited a small handful of scholars to comment on the increasing influence of anti-immigration and anti-Islam ideas and parties across Europe and to offer their thoughts on how best to accommodate minority claims (especially those involving Islam) in a democratic and liberal Europe.
Intolerance in Indonesiaposted by David Sloane
Last week at The New York Times, human rights advocate Benedict Rogers wrote an op-ed piece on the state of religious relations in Indonesia.
Protecting freedom of religion in the secular ageposted by Cécile Laborde
I want to start with a paradox. In the secular age, as Charles Taylor has amply illustrated, religious belief no longer structures our social imaginary. Instead, it has become one option, one possibility, among others: one of the ways in which we give meaning to our lives. The secular age, then, is characterised by the fact of pluralism—an irreducible pluralism of beliefs, values, commitments. Yet we secular moderns also give special primacy to freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is standardly presented as the archetypical liberal right. So the paradox is this: how (and why) do we protect freedom of religion in an age where religion is not special?
Varieties of religious freedom and governanceposted by Robert Hefner
As Elizabeth Shakman Hurd's and Saba Mahmood's earlier contributions to this discussion remind us, the received wisdom in Western policy circles today emphasizes the necessary synergy between democracy and religious freedom. What I wish to suggest in my remarks here is not that this characterization is wrong, but that it is sociologically too simple, and that the oversimplification can result in ill-conceived prescriptions for pluralist religious freedom.
Contradictions of religious freedom and religious repressionposted by Mathijs Pelkmans
The collapse of the Soviet Union marked the end of seventy years of anti-religious policies—of a period in which religious expression was severely curtailed and religious institutions were always controlled, at times co-opted, and at other times brutally repressed, with the aim of effecting the demise of religion, an aim which was never fully realized. The post-1991 era was radically different, at least in those newly independent countries that adopted and implemented liberal laws regarding religious expression and organization. It might be expected that religious leaders and practitioners would have a straightforwardly positive view of this widening scope for religious activities, but this turned out not always to be the case.
Paradoxes of "religious freedom" in Egyptposted by Tamir Moustafa
The place of religion in the political order is arguably the most contentious issue in post-Mubarak Egypt. With Islamist-oriented parties controlling over 70 percent of seats in the new People's Assembly and the constitution-writing process about to begin, liberals and leftists are apprehensive about the implications for Egyptian law and society, including the rights of Egypt's millions of Coptic Christians.
The power of pluralist thinkingposted by Courtney Bender
It is hard to remember, but religious pluralism meant something quite different fifty years ago. We have, I would argue, so shifted our collective understanding of religious pluralism, and this transformation has been so naturalized, that we have little common conception that this shift even happened and much less sense of its consequences.
Hope, tragedy, and prophecyposted by Colin Jager
It is hard not to be convinced by Akeel Bilgrami's careful, patient, and generous exposition in "Secularism: Its Content and Context." And indeed there is much with which I agree, especially the balance that Bilgrami strikes between a care for truth, on the one hand, and the idea of internal reasons, on the other. My remarks below are offered by way of exposition and clarification, but they are motivated by a spirit of interpretation: it seems to me that the paper operates in distinct tonal registers: a primary register of hope, a secondary register of tragedy, and an unacknowledged third register, which I will call prophetic.
There is no such thing as a monocultureposted by Justin Neuman
"We develop in multi-cultural and multi-religious societies. To say this is to state the obvious. There is no religiously homogeneous society." Akeel Bilgrami has invited commentary on his recent working paper about the nature and relevance of secularism in which he advances a central thesis that begins with the conditional phrase, "Should we be living in a religiously plural society." In this post, I offer a response to his thesis convinced, like Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, author of the quotation with which I began, that there is no such thing as a modern religious monoculture.

An influential thinker in the areas of Christology, eschatology, and the problem of evil, Hick will likely best be remembered for his "pluralistic hypothesis."
The context of religious pluralismposted by Nadia Urbinati
Akeel Bilgrami's article, "Secularism: Its Content and Context," is an important and welcome contribution on a topic that has acquired momentum with the renaissance of the public role of religions, in democratic and non-democratic societies alike. Bilgrami clarifies in a penetrating and lucid way, three fundamental ideas on secularism: first, that it is "a stance to be taken about religion"; second, that it is not an indication of the form of government or the liberal nature of a regime; and third, that the context is a crucial factor in issues concerning the relationship between politics and religion.
Multiple secularities and their normativity as an empirical subjectposted by Monika Wohlrab-Sahr
It is difficult to come to an agreement when normative issues are concerned. Are the "moderate" forms of European secularisms flexible enough to include the Muslim population as well, as Tariq Modood suggests? Or are they "irretrievably flawed," as Rajeev Bhargava has argued, because they emerged from a context in which Christian confessions dominated and were not set up to include non-Christian minorities? Or should we get rid of the language of secularism altogether and instead refer to liberal-democratic constitutionalism as a meta-language, as Veit Bader has proposed?
The shining and the shiny: An interview with Sean Dorrance Kellyposted by Nathan Schneider
Sean Dorrance Kelly is chair of Harvard University's philosophy department and has published on topics like cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and aesthetics. For his first general-audience book, though, he teamed up with his former teacher Hubert Dreyfus and took on the Western canon. All Things Shining: Reading the Western Classics to Find Meaning in a Secular Age, published this year by Free Press, is a daring proposal for a new embrace of ancient polytheism. Looking back to the epics of Homer, they find resources for thwarting the nihilism that has haunted some of the most brilliant thinkers of our time. I spoke with Kelly over cappuccinos in a noisy Midtown Manhattan diner, while he was waiting to catch a train back up to Boston.
Secularism: Its content and contextposted by Akeel Bilgrami
I begin with three fundamental features of the idea of 'secularism.' I will want to make something of them at different stages of the passage of my argument in this paper for the conclusion—among others—that the relevance of secularism is contextual in very specific ways. If secularism has its relevance only in context, then it is natural and right to think that it will appear in different forms and guises in different contexts. But I write down these opening features of secularism at the outset because they seem to me to be invariant among the different forms that secularism may take in different contexts. It is hard to imagine that one hasn't changed the subject from secularism to something else, something that deserves another name, if one finds oneself denying any of the features that I initially list below.
Beyond secularisms of all sortsposted by Veit Bader
Is there a crisis of secularism in Western Europe? Is Tariq Modood's "moderate secularism" the solution, or should we go "beyond moderate secularism" and embrace the "alternative conception of secularism," that of "principled distance," proposed by Rajeev Bhargava? In this piece I hope to show that, for the purposes of normative thinking—in the realms of political and legal theory, constitutional law, and jurisprudence in particular—we had better drop the language of secularism altogether and reframe the contested issues in terms of the language of liberal-democratic constitutionalism and its respective principles, rights, and institutional arrangements.
A historian's reaction to American Graceposted by Jon Butler
David Campbell's and Robert Putnam's American Grace left me historically puzzled on my first reading, and my second didn't clear things up. Its 550 pages of text, plus 97 pages of appendices and notes, probe the range and complexity of contemporary American religiousness with remarkable patience and detail. Although American Grace doesn't leave historians on the whirling dime, wondering "So what?" it does raise questions about historical context. In other words, how do the changes that Campbell and Putnam retrace fit three centuries of evolution in American religion, politics, and culture?
Beyond moderate secularismposted by Rajeev Bhargava
For Modood, moderate secularism can and should go on more or less as it is, but, in order to accommodate Muslims, must undergo some institutional adjustments. How then can we speak of—that horrible term—a crisis of secularism in Europe? Surely, this is hyperbolic, a gross exaggeration! Here is where we profoundly disagree. Moderate secularism, for me, is irretrievably flawed.
American religion in the era of Fosdick's revengeposted by David A. Hollinger
Is bland beautiful? Almost never, most of us would say. But when it comes to religion in a diverse society, the answer may be yes. This is the chief, if probably unintended implication of American Grace, which I take to be the most successfully argued, comprehensive sociological study of American religion in more than half a century. Robert Putnam and David Campbell harvest a generation of research and mature reflection about how religious affiliations of all kinds divide and unite Americans of different generations, regions, sexes, educational levels, and ethno-racial groups.
A suspension of (dis)beliefposted by Elizabeth Shakman Hurd
Most academic discussions in political science and international relations presuppose a fixed definition of the secular and the religious and proceed from there. Most realist, liberal, English school, feminist, and historical-materialist approaches treat religion as either private by prior assumption or a cultural relic to be handled by anthropologists. Even constructivists, known for their attention to historical contingency and social identity, have paid scant attention to the politics of secularism and religion, focusing instead on the interaction of preexisting state units to explain how international norms influence state interests and identity or looking at the social construction of states and the state system with religion left out of the picture.

Book review: Bridging the maximalist-minimalist divideposted by Annie Hardison-Moody
Must human rights be grounded in a religious or metaphysical worldview in order for them to be understood and implemented globally? Or should they be developed based on broad consensus, divorced from religious grounds? These are the questions that open Grace Kao's new book Grounding Human Rights in a Pluralist World. Kao situates herself between these two positions, developing a rationale for human rights that is based on her retrieval of particular elements of the most prominent methods for justifying human rights approaches.
Poppies and Prophetsposted by Andrew March
Last November 11, two British Muslims, purportedly members of an organization calling itself "Muslims Against Crusades" (MAC), were arrested under the UK Public Order Act. They were accused of burning three oversized poppies at a Remembrance Day ceremony and interrupting a two-minute moment of silence with such chants as "Burn, burn, British soldiers, British soldiers, burn in hell!" and "British soldiers: murderers! British soldiers: rapists! British soldiers: terrorists!" Last week, one of the two activists, Emdadur Choudhury, was found guilty under Section 5 of the Public Order Act of burning the poppies in a way that was likely to cause "harassment, harm or distress" to those who witnessed it, and was fined £50. . . . While it is very tempting for Muslims, and those sympathetic to the situation of Muslims in Europe, to see a case like this as evidence of double-standards—Muslim speech is suppressed on grounds of injury to non-Muslims, while the reverse is not; speech injurious to secular affect is suppressed, while speech injurious to religious affect is not—this might also be an occasion for some general reflection on the problem of injurious speech in morally pluralist contexts.

Casting away our crutchesposted by Sarah Allen
The various essays on A Secular Age gathered in Michael Warner, Jonathan VanAntwerpen and Craig Calhoun's Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age raise a host of important and interesting questions with respect to Taylor's account of secularism: Do we really need recourse to a notion of transcendence that takes us beyond the immanence of natural and human life in order to re-enchant our world? What kind of history—or, perhaps better put, story or narrative—of secularism is Taylor offering us? Can one properly define Western secularism in isolation from explicit consideration of the West's encounters and intertwining with non-Western cultures?
What I think is most intriguing, however, about this book is how it unfolds as a dialogue between various visions of secularism informed by different background beliefs, thus illustrating the very kind of interaction between different options of belief and non-belief that characterizes secularism itself according to Taylor.
Religion and the civic imaginationposted by Richard Amesbury
Since the publication of Robert Bellah's 1967 article "Civil Religion in America," discussions of the topic have tended to devolve into debates between those who find the very idea morally objectionable and those who regard some form of civil religion as sociologically necessary. … Yet, if there is a benign form of American civil religion in the making, it has been a long time coming. The problem is not simply the proclivity to idolize the nation or the state, but the apparent impossibility of articulating our social bonds without relegating significant segments of the population to second-class citizenship. Because the "imagined community" of a nation rarely maps neatly onto the actual citizenry of a state, the quest for unity, however minimal its basis, ironically issues in exclusions. This may make perfectly good sense from a sociological perspective, but it presents a profound challenge to liberal democratic claims about equality.
Swiss democracyposted by Charles Gelman
With a Muslim constituency estimated to be between four and six percent of its total population, Switzerland is hardly in danger of being converted into a caliphate. Nevertheless, the country's Muslim communities were sent a clarion signal last week that their religion is perceived as a threat. While the ban on the construction of minarets, which was favored by 57.5 percent of the Swiss population in Sunday's referendum, may well prove inconsequential in itself, it occurred within the broader context of the recent political ascension of the Schweizerische Volkspartei, or Swiss People's Party, the country's foremost purveyor of less than thinly veiled anti-immigrant sentiment.
Must secular rights fail?posted by Thaddeus J. Kozinski
It does certainly seem, as Simone Chambers points out in "Do good philosophers make good citizens?", that Dr. Wolterstorff ultimately asserts, rather than adequately demonstrates, that only theistic belief can guarantee human rights in perpetuity for all humans. Why? I think it is because he knows that there is ultimately no philosophical demonstration possible for such a conclusion. […]
Do good philosophers make good citizens?posted by Simone Chambers
Perhaps one might argue that Justice: Rights and Wrongs is not simply a contribution to a conversation among philosophers. It is also a contribution to a public dialogue about human rights and thus a conversation among citizens. Here one might argue that because human rights are the sorts of things that are instituted and enforced by governments, we need to approach the conversation from the point of view of what we could agree upon, and not from the point of view of establishing what we think is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Nicholas Wolterstorff's fear of the secularposted by Jonathon Kahn
The truly dynamic discussion in America today about religion and politics is not between "wall of separation" secularists and Christian political theologians attempting to turn American into a theocracy. Instead, the promising but fledgling discussion is between religious and non-religious democrats who are acutely aware of the two horns of this essential American dilemma. First, one has a right to express one's convictions in whatever terms one holds them, including religious terms; second, one cannot assume that one's fellow citizens' convictions are shaped by the same terms.
Who's afraid of sociology?posted by James K.A. Smith
Attempts to define "evangelical" often hover between theological definitions from those who self-identify as evangelicals and so-called sociological definitions from those who take themselves to be observers of the phenomenon. Though I don't think we can make this distinction neat and tidy, let's work with it as a heuristic starting point. In what follows, I want to make a theological claim for emphasizing a sociological definition. […]
Belief, spirituality and timeposted by William Connolly

Inclusion and accountability in the public sphereposted by Cristina Lafont
In his essay "Religion in the Public Sphere," Habermas joins the debate between liberals and critics of liberalism on the proper role of religion in the public sphere. His proposal focuses on what each side of the debate gets right: the liberal emphasis on the obligation to provide nonreligious reasons in support of coercive policies with which all citizens must comply, on one side, and the critic's insistence on the right of religious citizens to adopt their religious stance in public deliberation about such policies, on the other. […]
Secularism, hegemony, and fullnessposted by Talal Asad
What are the stakes in wanting a fixed definition of religion, whether in terms of "a sense of fullness," as Taylor suggests, or of "transcendence," or of "something beyond what has yet been achieved, or will ever be achieved"? What is at stake here? Why are we so concerned to establish a category that encompasses a number of very different kinds of experience, experiences that for some religious people don't belong together at all? […]
Rethinking religious pluralismposted by Courtney Bender
Alongside the ongoing discussion of A Secular Age, I would like to consider another important nexus in modern life—religious pluralism. As is clear from recent immigration debates, conflicts over the legitimacy of religious legal systems within secular states, and a variety of other flashpoints from comic strip controversies to family law issues, religion, or rather religions in plural, are at the center of debates about modern democracies and their futures.

Join us as we taste our way through two of America's finest grape-growing regions: Oregon--often referred to as America's Burgundy--and Washington--the variable climate that can grow almost any wine grape on the planet. We'll talk about the history, terroir, appellations, and grapes that make these two states serious players not only domestically, but internationally. We'll also talk about the differences in climate between Washington and Oregon, and the very unique wines that come from each.

Venus has the longest day of any major planet in the solar system, taking 243 days to complete a full rotation along its axis. Due to its slow rotation, Venus has a day that is longer than its year.Know More
Venus rotates in the opposite direction of the other planets. Due to its unique rotational direction, the time between sunrises on Venus is just under 117 Earth days. Theory regarding the rotational direction of the planet suggests that Venus once spun in the same direction as the other planets, but some event, such as extremely strong atmospheric tides due to the sun's gravitational pull, occurred in the past that caused it to flip its axis 180 degrees.Learn more about Planets
As the furthest orbiting planet in the Solar System, Neptune has the longest year, taking 164.8 Earth years to complete a single orbit of the Sun. Prior to its reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006, Pluto was the planet with the longest year, equal to about 248 Earth years.Full Answer >
According to Universe Today, the duration of a day on Earth is the time it takes for the planet to complete a rotation around its axis. The Earth's rotation takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds.Full Answer >
It takes Venus as long as 243 Earth days to complete a full rotation on its own axis. That's quite a long time considering that one Earth day, or 24 hours, is the time it takes Earth to make a full rotation on its axis.Full Answer >
One lunar day, the length of time it takes the moon to complete a full rotation on its axis, is equivalent to 28 days on Earth. This is also the amount of time it takes for the moon to complete its orbit around the Earth.Full Answer >

How can I afford to stay home with my baby?
I want to be a stay-at-home mom more than anything in the world. Even though I know I have to work for financial reasons, I can't help wishing my life were different, being depressed, crying all the time, being jealous of my friends who stay home, and fighting with my husband every day about not wanting to leave our 8-month-old. This is ruining our marriage, but I don't know how to just accept it. Please help!

I feel the exact same way! My daughter is now 6 months old and we finally decided I was going to stay at home with her and work part time. It has helped so much. I tried going back 4 days a week but just couldnt bear being away from her! Some moms just feel this way! Financially, NO I cannot afford it but I'd rather be at home with her enjoying every minute I have with her!posted 02/09/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Ask my husbundposted 09/05/2011 by cgordon71
My son is 4 months old and I'm torn between staying at home and manitaining my career. Unfortunately, I guess I want my cake and eat it too. If I could work at home and make around $800 a month I think we could swing it barely, but that would mean that there would be no extra money for savings or fun. If I was at home I could at least concentrate on finishing my bachelors degree and entering a masters program. I figured that by the time I've finished my masters degree that my children will be in full-time schooling, making it possible for me to continue in my career. Unfortunately, I don't think it will work out so simply.posted 01/13/2012 by SkatingBaby
Just to let you know that all day care centers basically follow the DCF guidelines and I do agree that there are too many children allowed for one teacher, the teacher child ratios are: 1 teacher to 4 infants, 1 to 6 one year olds, 1 to 12 2 year olds, 1 to 15 3 year olds, 1 to 20 4 year olds and 1 to 25 5 years and up, I have worked in the childcare field for 15 years and most of the day care centers I have worked at have a helper in each classroom to help the teacher so you might want to look for one that does have a helper in the classroom with the teacher.posted 01/05/2012 by SHANNON CROOMS
I have two children (now 12 years old and 8 years old). I have been in your shoes. I have HATED my husband and tried to blame it on him for me not being able to stay home with them. We were in over our heads with a home better than we deserved and credit card debt for items we had no business buying. I prayed and prayed and God does come through for you if you are willing to make some changes and if your wanting to be home is genuine and for the right reasons. Many (not all) of my friends were home with their babies and I felt like it was not fair. I begged my employer to allow me to do a job share with another coworker and they went for it. I did not know how I would live on half of my income, but went for it anyway. It is amazing how God works! The week before I was set to start working part-time, my husband got a huge promotion and a raise totalling exactly the 50% of pay that I was giving up. Never underestimate the power of prayer!posted 02/10/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
One thing I'd like to say is that I have worked in the child care field for many years and although there are plenty of great teachers out there, there's plenty of terrible ones too. So if you're planning on putting your child in a day care, make sure it's a reputable one. Also, currently as a teacher of 6 toddlers, I find it extremely difficult to spend the one-on-one time with each child and be able to bond the way a mother might be able to at home with just one or two kiddos. A lot of people don't consider what really happens at day cares and they tell themselves that they are putting their child in a safe, nurturing environment because that's as far as they know. But I have seen firsthand lots of neglect, abuse, and pure chaos that goes on in child care centers because there is not enough teacher to go around. Either use a center with low teacher-child ratios, or hire a trusted nanny or family member to care for your sweet babies if you must work. :)posted 01/02/2012 by danielle112086
I have done both and have been a stay at home mom for 6 years now and have raised both my 5 yr old and my 1 yr old at home while my husband works but in this economy today it makes it very hard to have what you want and the wife/mother stay home with the children. I worked at a daycare and my 5 yr old went with me then and he was free cuz I worked there but I am needing to go back to work now and wanting to so that I can help pay our bills, my husband isn't making enough to do it all his own.posted 12/29/2011 by SHANNON CROOMS
I've been home with my kids for 4 years and LOVE it! You can do it too. It's about finding a reputable work from home position and also a bit of creative economizing.

I think that if you can afford to stay at home than that is your right. I know plenty of stay at home moms who are depending on food stamps, or other government assistance to make ends meet. That means that you can not afford it. Don't be a burden on society because you want to be at home. I know about making sacrifices, but when your children get older they will know that they don't have things that other families do and sometimes that will create difficult times.posted 12/26/2011 by lambertjl

I'm disappointed with this product, been using it for around 2 months now. I'm acne-prone, around NC15, dry cheeks, sometimes oily t-zone. This has a kind of shimmer to it which I was warned about with reviews on here, but unfortunately I went ahead and purchased this and although it is okay, it highlights every bad bit about my skin - if you have indented scars of any kind beware! I have a small area on my left cheek that has slight indenting from a horrible period of acne I went through around 4 years ago and this without fail highlights those particularly with indoor lighting. Colour I purchased is real sand - note this is much darker than my skintone but I usually go darker because of the rest of my body. Much preferred MAC MSF natural and bare minerals original. If you have good skin with little to no imperfections this would probably work for you and thats only when I would recommend it. I use it with ELF's powder brush from the studio line.

I'll start off saying that I have really oily skin and huge pores on my inner cheek area just around my nose. I'm also acne prone, by no means red cysts or really nasty zits, but just some under-the-skin bumps and blackheads that seem to never disappear. I've been using Milk of Magnesia as a primer along with Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation which has been an amazing combination to get rid of oil, but I really wanted to try something that was a little lighter.
The packaging is lovely. It's simple, and oh so convenient with the little twister that allows you to cover the holes the mineral powder comes out of when you're not using it and it also allows you to control how much comes out. The packaging is light and quite compact as a mineral powder. So in that regard, it's great.
It's quite pricey, and was around $45 CAD at Holt Renfrew. I've never liked 'cheaping' out when it comes to foundation so I guess it'll have to do.
In terms of coverage, I'd say it can be light, medium or full depending on how much you build up. I don't have particularly dry skin so buildability was not an issue for me at all. No flaking or cake-ing whatsoever. (My Sephora Mineral Powder brush in number #45 is a DREAM at applying this!) I'm shade Rich Vanilla and am around NC37-40 and it suits me quite well (especially as I'm a little tan in the summer).
The foundation blends like a dream and really diffuses your face somehow so that it looks very soft and airbrushed. I absolutely love the effect this foundation has. Now the major con for me that has made me give this product only 3 stars is the darn pearl powder! As I said, I have huge pores around my nose and the pearl powder makes the entire area so shiny and highlighted. Not only do my pores look ten times bigger, my pimples are emphasized and I look shiny. It also looks a little odd, as if that area is lighter than the rest of my face because of the shine. I was extremely disappointed, and no amount of finishing powder (I desperately tried various mattifying powders to get rid of the shine to no avail) would get rid of the darn shine. This is the first CON of this product.
Lastly, oil control wasn't that great. I have really oily skin and even with my Milk of Magnesia as primer, oil breaks through after an hour on my nose. Especially now that it's the summer and weather in Toronto will average 30 degrees Celsius, I don't want to be wearing a foundation that is shiny and has no oil control whatsoever.
I can see this foundation being an absolute dream for girls who don't have issues with oil or huge pores that can be emphasized with pearl powder. Unfortunately, Holt Renfrew has the dreaded 'no return/exchange' policy on makeup. I think I'll stick with my Estee Lauder foundation for now!

I purchased this product after reading the reviews on here but i am disappointed :( For ref I have NW20-25 skin with blonde hair and I bought Real Sand but this is way too light but also looks muddy?? Only way I can think to describe it.. before I put it on my skin looks nicely tanned and healthy but this makes me look sick so have to wear bronzer too. I am on the fence whether to buy Natural Beige which I tried in the store and that matched my skin really well but I thought with winter coming up I should go a tad lighter and everyone seems to love Real Sand, I don't know how tanned skin girls can wear this colour?? I use a kabuki brush but it seems to apply to thickly and my skin feels dry after applying. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong maybe I need a different brush?
Also my skin has started to get irritated and I think it could be this powder, I've stopped one of my night time moisturisers so need to wait and see which product is bothering me.

I love this product. I use it over Clinique Superbalanced foundation in number 04. From the product reviews here i purchased a color that was too light form. Next time will get a darker one but for now I am mixing it with bronzer. That's how much I like it. Over the last couple of days i tried it alone and was extremely impressed! I just swiped some on with a stippling brush over moisturizer and rose hip & avocado oil. I used a little bit of concealer on red marks and under the eyes. It made my skin look totally flawless and real! As if i had taken a photo with no makeup on and then airbrushed it. Worn alone, the slight 'shimmer' if you can call it that looks amazing because it picks up the light but does not look greasy. It looks really healthy and natural, and I'm usually a girl that likes full coverage. It is well worth the money. I used to use bare minerals but if i wore it alone it would never stay put, and believe me this does. I didn't use a primer because although i have a huge makeup collection i have always found primers to be reasonably pointless if you are using a good moisturizer and makeup. Sorry for the rant!

Admittedly, I am disappointed in this purchase. I've been trying to convince myself to pull the trigger on this foundation order, and finally did it, only to find myself pretty displeased .
The lightest shade(I forget the name) is actually a pretty decent match for my extremely pale skin. Initially , it has a SLIGHT yellow tint to it, but that goes away within a few minutes of application.
I find that the blendability of this foundation isn't as good as previous mineral Makeups I've tried, and i find the more I blend , the more cakey it looks. This is the first mineral makeup I've tried that actually doesn't feel right on my skin. It doesn't feel light and natural like most mmU, and I actually could not wait to wash this off of my face after a few hours. I have dry skin also, and this foundation made me very oily and the foundation looked patchy within a few hours . It also settles into every crease on my face and cakes up around my nose no matter how little I apply. The coverage is decent, the sheen doesn't really give any sort of desireable glow; I just am not impressed with this foundation at all. I will return and buy my newly discovered Becca budoir foundation. :(

I finally bought this after deliberating over it because of the price. Even though it is expensive for me personally, I'm glad I got it. I've tried other mineral powders before, including sheer powder and bare escentuals, and they all caused my skin to break out and go red and itchy. Fortunately LM didn't cause any bad reactions. Instead, I can get a lovely natural finish and I can still cover my rosacea without using a lot. I'm NW20 and use real sand which is a perfect match for me. It leaves a lovely natural glow, although sometimes it can look a bit too shiny but I just use MAC prep and prime powder over it and it fixes it for the whole day.

I absolutely love this one! I have the classic norwegian skincolour, and "Classig Beige" suits me perfectly during the winter and springtime. I have to purchase a slighty more tanned formula for the summer. I strongly recommend this! :-)

I am in love with this foundation! previously i was loyal to my BE minerals, but have found that the finish on this stuff is more beautiful. It's like the original BE minerals that had some fine shimmer in it, but even more refined. AND no itchiness. Although the BE foundation never broke me out, it did itch a little when first applied (this was true for both the original and matte versions). This product is a bit pricey (about $35) but well worth it in my opinion. I prefer to do a light dusting of it over my LM Tinted moisturizer, but it also provides good medium coverage by itself. My skin varies from about NC30-NC37 and i originally bought this in rich vanilla, but found that it matches me at my darkest. So I also purchased natural beige and find that the mix of the two is my perfect match for spring and fall (while natural beige is perfect for winter when I'm at my lightest). I haven't had any breakouts yet (using it now for about a month) and it gives a great healthy almost-dewey-but-not-quite finish to my combo skin. I guess that's the only draw back- if you want a matte finish, this isn't for you. As far as wear, it's comparable to BE, lasting me about 8-9hrs (over a primer) before showing signs of fading. highly recommended product.

First off, I will say I live in Mississippi where summers seem to last from May to September. It is very humid and sometimes wearing makeup just gets crossed off of the list because of it. For that fact, I have always been drawn to mineral (or powder) foundations over liquid ones. After loving the Laura Mercier brand for about a year now, I decided to try out the Mineral Foundation SPF 15, and I have well loved it! I got the color Real Sand (Reference skin tone between MAC NC 25/ NW 25- although these colors on my skin are too extreme alone, I just mix the two together). Typically, I use the powder with a Sephora brand bronzing brush and set it with Urban Decay's De-Slick oil control spray; with these three tools at hand, a bit of bronzer, blush, and mascara, I am done with my makeup in less than ten minutes. Clinique Almost Powder SPF 15 used to be my HG powder foundation but I could never quite match my skin well enough and something in the powder seemed to break me out if I wore it for too long. I am so thankful to discover this and overall I am extremely pleased with the finish and longevity of this product and will definitely be repurchasing it again when I run out!

I will be honest and admit that I got this because of rave reviews on YouTube. I use mineral makeup everyday from Everyday Minerals and have been happy with it for a few years but I did want to try a higher end brand, especially since it has a dewier finish. I had a hard time purchasing it for the full price so I used my 15% off coupon at Sephora to justify it. At first I sort of hated it. I could not get it to properly bind to my brush, which means not enough product would actually buff into my face. I can only use this over a tinted moisturizer or foundation because it adheres better and gives better coverage. I really like using the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and the EcoTools retractable kabuki is pretty good too. I really like it over matter mineral because it looks so healthy and fresh but finding the best way to use it has been challenging. The coverage over a base is great but very sheer over bare skin, at least for me (I have dry skin). I think its worth it since I use it everyday but I would probably only repurchase it when I have a coupon.

Ernest Hemingway, East Africa, 1954.
Ernest Hemingway, (1899-1961), was one of the most famous and influential American writers of the 1900s. He received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA (1952).
Hemingway used a plain, forceful prose style characterized by simple sentences and few adjectives or adverbs. He wrote crisp, accurate dialogue and exact descriptions of places and things. His style has been widely imitated.
Hemingway also created a type of male character, sometimes called the "Hemingway hero," who faces violence and destruction with courage. The trait of "grace under pressure" -- that is, what appears to be unemotional behavior even in dangerous situations -- is part of what became known as the "Hemingway code."
Early life.
Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois. After graduating from high school, he worked briefly as a reporter for THE KANSAS CITY (Missouri) STAR. In 1918 -- during World War I -- he served as a Red Cross volunteer in Italy, driving an ambulance and working at a canteen. After working in Italy for six weeks, he was seriously wounded. Hemingway's wartime experiences help suggest why his writing emphasizes physical and psychological violence and the need for courage.
In 1921, Hemingway went to Paris, where he met a number of American authors. He became the principal spokesman for a group of disillusioned younger writers sometimes called the "Lost Generation."
Hemingway's first published work, THREE STORIES AND TEN POEMS, appeared in 1923. It was followed by IN OUR TIME (1924), a collection of short stories partly based on his boyhood experiences in northern Michigan.
Rise to fame.
Hemingway's most famous novels are two of his early works,
(1926) and A FAREWELL TO ARMS (1929). THE SUN ALSO RISES portrays a group of Americans who, like the members of the "Lost Generation," were disillusioned by the war. A FAREWELL TO ARMS, set in Italy in World War I, is a tragic love story.
Hemingway returned to the United States in 1927. Two collections of his short stories were published during the 1930s. They contain some of his best writing, including "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." He also wrote some nonfiction. DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON (1932) deals with bullfighting, which fascinated him. In GREEN HILLS OF AFRICA (1935), Hemingway described his experiences on an African safari.
In 1936, Hemingway went to Spain and covered the Spanish Civil War as a war correspondent. He used the war as the setting of FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS (1940). This novel, about an idealistic American fighting the fascist forces in Spain, is one of Hemingway's finest books.
Later years.
By the 1940s, Hemingway had become an international celebrity. He was famous for his colorful life style and his extreme concern with presenting a tough, masculine image.
Hemingway's first published work after 1940 was ACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREES (1950). This novel reflects a growing bitterness toward life. It is largely regarded as inferior because of its sentimentality. In THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA (1952), he revived his theme of a strong man courageously accepting fate. The hero, an old fisherman, catches a giant marlin after a long and brutal struggle -- only to have the fish eaten by sharks.
Hemingway suffered physical and mental illnesses during the 1950s. He committed suicide on July 2, 1961. A MOVEABLE FEAST was published in 1964. It is an autobiographical book based on notebooks he kept in Paris in the 1920s. Two novels were also published after his death -- ISLANDS IN THE STREAM (1970) and the unfinished THE GARDEN OF EDEN (1986).

MOSES "Bambo" Chunga's Chiredzi FC continued to sing the blues in their premiership debut season after falling to Black Rhinos in a league match at Rimuka yesterday.
Wilson Chakanyuka's 21st minute penalty and Beven Chikaka's seemingly controversial goal in the 38th minute condemned the Chiredzi outfit to their third straight defeat in four matches.
Chiredzi FC Sam Msimbu's 28th minute equaliser had given Chunga's outfit hope, but all was in vain when Chikaka struck the winner.
However, Chunga remains confident that his project will prosper.
"Prophets of doom may say whatever they want but we will come right. We are just lacking confidence and we have to work on that. I remain hopeful. I would rather not talk about their second goal because every dog has its day. Tomorrow it might be our day," Chunga said.
Black Rhinos, who are sponsored by Savanna Tobacco, through their Pacific Storm brand, got the breakthrough in the 20th minute after Chiredzi FC's Burban Bakali handled Phillip Marufu's cross inside the box and up stepped Chakanyuka to beat Simon Kasikire in goals for Chiredzi from the penalty spot.
Chiredzi FC did not throw in the towel as they found the equaliser through Msimbu eight minutes later.
Chikaka's scrambled goal restored Rhinos' lead to hand them their first home win this season.

Down syndrome can cause a variety of health problems related to physical
and mental functions. These problems vary in number and severity for each
person. Adults with Down syndrome should have regularly scheduled exams by a
doctor to identify signs of any problems. The sooner health issues are
recognized, the better they can be managed.
Adults with Down
syndrome should receive care from a coordinated team of health professionals.
Treatment should focus on monitoring and recognizing changing physical, mental,
and emotional needs. It is important to make sure that an adult with Down syndrome
has long-term medical insurance. Also it is a good idea to think about what
services might be needed in the future, who will provide them, and how you will
pay for them.

At what point is it safe to use a blanket at bedtime? We use a blanket in our DS crib during nap because we keep an eye on him to make sure he doesnt pull it over his head. We are using sleep sacks at night with no worries but now he is out growing them. Do many of you use blankets?
First baby due June 6th!!
Newbie coming Feb./Mar. 2014
I always used blankets on DS ... if anything he tries to wiggle out of it and ends up kicking it off. I usually place it right below his armpit. When he turns at night, he usually kicks it off.
~ Mom to Chris ( July 12, 2011 ) ~
I've used blankets since day one with the twins and with my ODS. They can't sleep without having them and they love to rub them on their faces when they are eating or getting tired. It helps sooth them.

I let DD do a double no, no. She sleeps with her blanky and she will only sleep on her stomach. She use to side sleep but she doesn't sleep very well unless she is on her belly. She just started to sleep on her stomach for about 2 1/2 weeks. I've watched her to make sure she can pull her face out the blanky and move around. She seems fine.
