St. John's18°C Complete weather forecast
Totally dis agree with Robins take on MMA this weekend. While boxing may have been king in years past, the corruption, and don kings of the world have killed that sport. And it is likely it will not gain back the status it once had. MMA will only get bigger and will continue to gain respect when people actually give it a chance. While I will agree that MMA is violent I do not think it causes any more back street fights than say when people watched Mike Tyson knocking guys out left and right. Yet people loved Tyson for his aggression. Honestly whats the difference between him and Brock Lesner. They both got a few screws loose. So I would say don't let a few bad apples spoil the sport for the rest of the classy competitors.
And you said " causes people to become exceedingly violent" ?? Give me a break. People have always acted like animals down town and always will, MMA or not. Don't blame it on the UFC!
If MMA is alligator wrestling than boxing I would say boxing is comparable to watching paint dry!!
Just my 2 cents.

(Misc. Guide) A guide to Multi-accounting
By : JerryDB - February 24, 2015, 19:10:29
Firstly multi-accounting or multi –boxing is within the rules of the game and is a playstyle. For me I enjoy teaming up with real people but I also enjoy running content solo. This guide is mostly for Windows PC uses as I am not sure how much can be used for other operating systems. A note for steam uses as far as I know you need a separate steam account to run mutli-accounts here is a guid...

Introduction I'm Amoretta Blan, I play on the Asia server and as of writing this guide I'm level 170.

I don't know what it is about being a Wellesley woman that makes you overbook yourself. BUT I am SO POOPED this week. 3 papers and 1 exam. I barely slept. Caffeine is a LIFESAVER… but I think I've ODed… jebus christ.
What I need is a nice relaxing weekend so I can catch up on my sleep. People are different (well obviously you say) and they all have different sleep patterns. My suitemate has to have AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep to function. I am not that kind of person. I can function with about 3 hours of sleep a night. This is exactly how I have been living for the last week of my life and now it has caught up with me BOO DISLIKE. anyways. Fridays I only have one class and therefore I get to sleep in… after my interview for a teaching firm. Looking for a job is WORK! Oy vey.
I'm a teaching education minor so I am all about teaching. I know it's super dorky but that's what I love. I tutor/teach at Framingham HS for SAT and College Prep. I haven't been as dedicated as I usually would be this week because of all my other school related midterms. BUT I love having the troublemakers. I know that sounds SO weird and absolutely insane but they're just more fun to work with. They give me trouble, I give them trouble; we all have a good time. I joke around with them, they make fun of me, I laugh because it's usually semi-true, and then I turn the joke on them. Seriously these kids keep me on my toes. I also help them with college prep and man… its been so long since I wrote a college personal statement and have taken the SATs. When these kids complain to me about it I tell them that I applied to 17 schools. yup… 17. My college guidance counsellor told me that I couldn't even get into my backup schools so… I freaked and applied EVERYWHERE. I know… it was stupid and insane but I didn't know any better. If you're wondering where I applied, just ask. I can probably name them in alphabetical order.
Also I just recently watched Waiting for Superman which is a documentary on lotteries for high performing charter schools. BUT OPRAH RECOMMENDS IT SO.. whatever, it's cool. I know what kind of nerd pays for a documentary movie. But that's how I am. I watched it and cried. I get so attached to kids. BUT THEN AGAIN… I cry in Disney movies. Maybe I'm just sensitive when it comes to movies. I don't cry otherwise… it's weird.
Can i just plug in here that MICHELLE RHEE WHO IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and is the chancellor of schools in Washington DC and had some dang good ideas to improve DC's public schools is RESIGNING BECAUSE OF TEACHER UNIONS (well, she doesn't specifically say that, but thats my PERSONAL opinion, you don't have to agree with me). Drives me berserk. She could have REALLY done something and made DC's public school system amazing. But because she's so controversial she has to RESIGN. what a load of bull. MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR DISLIKE.
I need to relax this weekend. HAVE FUN. SLEEP. eat… (even though all I eat is baked goods on this campus because they're just DELICIOUS, senior 20 here i COME), exercise, be a decent girlfriend and skype the long distance bf, be a good friend and see some friends faces by celebrating my friends 21st birthday, whaddup 21! anddddddd sleep some more. hahahaha
MY LIFE IS RIDICULOUSSSS! But in a GOOD WAY
anyways… that's all for today folks!
<3 always,

Law puts Arizona economy on the fence
Dan Grech
Dec 31, 2007 In Arizona an estimated 1 in 10 workers is undocumented -- double the national average.

Respond to Review of The Chicago Diner
by Troktagon
Review: Went here with my parents, who are not vegetarian. My dad said the Portobello Burger was better than a real burger. It was absolutely delicious. The vegan reuben was spectacular too! Best vegan reuben I've had anywhere (even more so that my favorite at Native Foods). Dessert options were awesome as well.

One of the big problem of putting our Email address in proper format [email protected] is, email harvester bots add those Emails in their database and spam them. This is a big headache for bloggers like us, who have to put Email address for some reason in contact or service pages.
Though, simply way is you can replace at with [at] and that will stop bots from harvesting your email address, but believe it or not, some user will actually mail you without @. One easy solution to this problem is by using Gmail button or any other Email icon, so that it not only look good but easier to understand.
Free Email Icon Generator service:
One major benefit of this service is, you can also create custom Email icon. Saying that, what I meant is apart from Gmail button like [email protected], you can also create custom Email image for example, [email protected] You can customize the look and feel of the image, but default feature is good to go with. There are many pre-defined Email services which are popular and mostly used, if not custom option is going to save your time and effort.
Anyways, using this email icon generator service is super easy and lets see how I created Gmail button for my Email address. Simply go to their homepage and add your Email address as shown in the screen. From right drop down, select Email provider and in my case it's Gmail.
Here is how my icon for EMail address looks like:
The service is free to use and there is nothing much you have to do apart from entering your Email address. If your email provider is not listed there or if you are using any custom email address you can click on Provider not available, Click here! and create icon for your choice of Email. Though, you need to customize the color using Color picker to give it a feel and look of your personality.

Do let us know if you know any more such service or anything else which you are using?

12 Dec 1999: Jason Hanson #4 of the Detroit Lions kicks a field goal as John Jett #19 holds during the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. The Buccaneers defeated the Lions 23-16. Mandatory Credit: Andy Lyons /Allsport
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Jason Hanson kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime and the Detroit Lions rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 26-23 on Sunday. Held in check most of the game, Matthew Stafford led Detroit to 17 points in the fourth quarter. He threw a TD pass and ran for a score. Detroit had two shots from the Eagles 1 after a pass interference penalty on Colt Anderson with 13 seconds left in regulation. But Stafford misfired on both passes and Hanson kicked a 19-yard field goal to send it to overtime. The Lions (2-3) sacked Michael Vick on the first two plays of the extra quarter, forced a punt out of the end zone and started at midfield. Stafford hit Calvin Johnson for a 17-yard gain to the Eagles 27 on first-and-20. A few plays later, Hanson nailed the game-winner. The Eagles (3-3) head into their bye week with two straight losses.

Remember the werewolves of classic stories and films,
those bloodthirsty monsters that transformed under the
full moon, reminding us of the terrible nature that lives
within all of us? Today's werewolves are much more suave -
and even sexy - and they've moved from British moors to
New York City lofts, shaved, and got jobs. But as the
tales of these writers will show you, they remain no less
wild and passionate, and they still tug at the part of our
being where a wild animal used to be. Running With the
Pack includes stories from Carrie Vaughn, Laura Anne
Gilman, and C.E. Murphy, and they will convince you that
despite their gentrification, werewolves remain as
fascinating and terrifying as ever.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro has begun rallying supporters so often on television that opponents are suggesting he is campaigning for support while ailing President Hugo Chavez remains out of sight in Cuba.
Maduro visited an outdoor government-run market on Saturday, promoting vegetables, cooking oil and other foods at cheap, subsidized prices. In other appearances this past week, he presented new public housing and inaugurated a school.
"Maduro campaigning, be prepared!" opposition leader Henrique Capriles said in a message on his Twitter account Friday night. Other opposition politicians have questioned Maduro's higher profile, saying it suggests an effort to make him a more familiar voice for Venezuelans and promote him as an eventual presidential candidate.
Before his latest cancer surgery, Chavez said that if his illness cuts short his presidency, Maduro should run in a new election to take his place. Chavez has not spoken publicly or been seen in more than five weeks since his Dec. 11 operation for an unspecified type of pelvic cancer.
Maduro, however, expressed confidence on Saturday that Chavez will return home.
"Little by little. God and his doctors are doing their work, and we'll have him here," Maduro said, wearing a track suit as he spoke on television at the market in the city of Valencia. "We'll have him with the people, in command, always in command."
The government has been trying to fight 20 percent inflation, and some Venezuelans have also been complaining about shortages of foods such as chicken, cooking oil and sugar, while the government has maintained its longstanding price controls on many foods.
Maduro said the government-run market and others like it across the country should "keep reaching Venezuelans more and more, to guarantee people food like never before."
"We aren't going to permit anyone to sabotage the food of our children, of our homeland. It's Chavez's order," Maduro said, reiterating government accusations that unscrupulous businesspeople have been hoarding products to drive up prices.
The vice president kept up Chavez's criticisms of the leading business chamber Fedecamaras, which has blamed the government's economic policies for exacerbating sporadic shortages and other problems.
"It's proposing the liberation of prices," Maduro said during his visit to the market. "Go far away, Fedecamaras! There is a government here that is going to keep hunting down hoarding."

Oh come on dude.
"almost every car company"
Maybe among the biggest brands. Do you know how many car brands there are?
And don't get so upset about a single line of doubt about you watching the video. What's the matter? I didn't insult you, did I?
Glassed Silver:mac
Yeah "Almost"... I mean not all of brands have it. A friend of mine has brand new car but it doesn't have that feature. It will take awhile before ALL brands have that feature including auto drive, maybe some companies do not want that feature in their vehicles since some people including myself do not want that crap... If I want to buy a car, I want that off because I don't want that crap. I prefer to drive it myself.
As you see, at the store, you look around the fridges, NOT all of them have water/ice dispenser on the door. For example, you get the fridge with water/ice dispenser for your kitchen while I get mine without it... nothing on the door.. so I can open the door to get something I want.
Yeah I dunno what this guy is even talking about, there's a huge difference between automatic parallel park and what this car is doing.. It's not even the same thing. Nowhere near it.
It is basically same thing... they have sensor/camera with controlling system in their cars. Audi has more controls in the system while Ford and others have small control system for parking only but not very long before they will update their system which they will have the auto drive from one place to other in near future...
For example, If I get Ford car and I want a car to drive like Audi does, I can make some changes in the system, so Ford car can drive by itself ..
Anyway, move on...

Garden, art frame Barbara Blevins' lively world
Through wavy glass I look out at the garden on Southeast Third Street, still vibrant, even in the Downtown September heat.
The courtyard, a work of art despite brown edges and sporadic curled leaves, is framed from inside by beautiful old windows in a kitchen accented by a fireplace and Seminole art. Beyond the window, in the center of a profusion of hydrangeas, dill and rosemary, lies a concrete ground mural, painted by artist Michael Aakhus. There is a pond with papyrus, and handmade chimes accessorize the trees.
The wavy glass belongs to a house built in 1859. Adjacent to the tall windows, exquisite pottery by Mississippi potters Lee and Pup McCarty stacks to the ceiling in teetering rows of earthen cups and plates. They drip with glaze like drizzled sugar.
So this is how Barbara Blevins sees the world, I think to myself. Surrounded by art, she gazes outward. In her living room, wood and metal frames border original art in colors of her garden hydrangeas. In her study, a nude by Florita Eichel. On her tables, wooden sculpture by John McNaughton. On her mantle, an Oaxacan coyote.
Unbeknown to me until today, she and I have traveled similar roads. We both moved here from Nashville, Tenn., after having taught English there. Our masters degrees are from Peabody College of Vanderbilt. We are of a similar age and height.
We love some of the same books and hold a few life philosophies in common. We have both grown to love Evansville and feel at home here, and so I ask her: "After so many years as a Southerner, was acclimation difficult for you?" And with her answer we part ways.
"No," she says, "I immediately got involved with the Evansville Museum, the Nature Preserve and the League of Women Voters."
She has been president of the Evansville Philharmonic Guild, The Friends of Willard Library and the University of Southern Indiana Society of Arts and Humanities, connected to USI by her late husband Jim's position there as dean of liberal arts. She loves cooking and is an avid hostess and traveler.
When she arrived in Evansville, she hit the ground running and still is in the race.
Except, to this direct and lively woman, life has in no way been a competition. It has been a swim, and she dives in to see what she can see.
I consider this, looking over her herbs and horsetail — green, spiny spikes, bunched and building toward the sky.
This remarkable woman has framed her life uniquely.
Her purview has been tall and wide like her kitchen window. Surrounding herself with art and people from places traveled, she has mixed introvert with extrovert, and both inner and outer lives seem rich and open to the world.
Like her September garden, she offers treasures of a late-season strength and sensibility.

"Wander Wander Wander" jamie_goa's Profile
Located in the Arabian Sea, it consists of twelve coral atolls, three coral reefs, five banks, and numerous islets that lie between 200–300 km off the coast of Kerala. The total land area of the territory is 32 km..
The first westerner on the islands was Vasco da Gama, but the English were the first to explore the islands. They are also mentioned in great detail in the stories of the Arab traveller, Ibn Batuta. The Portuguese established a fort on the islands in May 1498, but the inhabitants rose up against them and chased them away.
Only eleven of the islands are inhabited!!!
The name Goa came to European languages brought by the Portuguese colonisers, but its precise origin is unclear. The Indian epic Mahabharata refers to the area now known as Goa, as 'Goparashtra' or 'Govarashtra"' which means a nation of cowherds. 'Gopakapuri' or 'Gapakapattana' were used in some ancient Sanskrit texts, and these names were also mentioned in other sacred Hindu texts such as the Harivansa and the Skanda. In the latter, Goa is also known as "Gomanchala". Gove, Govapuri, Gopakpattan, and Gomant are some other names that the region is referred to in certain inscriptions and texts such as the Puranas. It has also been known as "Aprant".
The most popular celebrations in Goa are Christmas, Easter Sunday Ganesh Chaturthi, New Year's Day, the Shigmo festival and the Carnival. However, since the 1960s, the celebrations of the Shigmo and carnival have shifted to the urban centres, and in recent times these festivals are seen more as a means of attracting tourists. Celebrations for all festivals usually last for a few days and include parties and balls.
Western English songs have a large following in most parts of Goa. Traditional Konkani folk songs too have a sizable following. Manddo, the traditional Goan music which originated in the nineteenth century, is sung and danced on special occasions. Goa is also known for its Goa trance music.
Arambol Beach is located in Goa a few kilometers from the city of Mapuca. It lies within the Pernem administrative region or district in north Goa. One section of the beach has a salt water lake close to the sea, enclosed between the mountains that hide the spectacular Banyan tree. The beach attracts many International tourists, mainly during the winter season between December and February.
Currently no major hotels exit in this area due to local pressure and consequently rooms are available at very reasonable rates when compared to tourist laden beaches such as Baga and Candolim. Arambol beach is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa, amongst many other popular locations including Vagator, Anjuna and Palolem.
Harimandir Sahib or Darbar Sahib (also Hari Mandir, Harimandar and other variants) is the most sacred shrine in Sikhism, located in Amritsar, Punjab, India. It is widely known as the Golden Temple, but its true name is Harimandir Sahib. Literally, Harimandir means "the Temple of God", 'Hari' being a term for God and 'Mandir' meaning Temple. Sikh devotees, for whom the Temple is a symbol of freedom and spiritual independence, come to the Temple from all over the world to enjoy its environs and offer their prayers. In addition, the shrine is increasingly becoming a tourist attraction for visitors from all over the world.
P.N. Oak, President of The Institute for Rewriting Indian History, has repeatedly asserted that the Taj Mahal was a Hindu temple of the god Shiva, usurped and remodeled by Shah Jahan. The temple's name, he says, was originally "Tejo Mahalaya"; this was corrupted over time to "Taj Mahal".
Oak also claims that the tombs of Humayun, Akbar and Itmiad-u-Dallah — as well as the Vatican in Rome, the Kaaba in Mecca, Stonehenge and "all historic buildings" in India — were also Hindu temples or palaces.
The Taj is only a typical illustration of how all historic buildings and townships from Kashmir to Cape Comorin though of Hindu origin have been ascribed to this or that Muslim ruler or courtier.
He further says that if Taj Mahal was not a Shiva temple, that it might then have been the palace of a Rajput king. In any case (he says), the Taj Mahal was Hindu in origin, stolen by Shah Jahan and adapted as a tomb — although Oak also claims that Mumtaz is not buried there.
Oak further states that the numerous eyewitness accounts of Taj Mahal construction, and Shah Jahan's construction orders and voluminous financial records, are elaborate frauds meant to hide its Hindu origin.
His many provocative assertions have gained a lot of popular interest and made Oak a well-known media figure.
He has sued to break open the cenotaphs, and to tear down brick walls in the lower plinth: In these "fake tombs" and "sealed apartments", Oak says Shivalingams or other temple items were hidden by Shah Jahan.
According to Oak, the Indian government's refusal to allow him unfettered access amounts to a conspiracy against Hinduism.
Oak's assertions are not accepted by legitimate scholars. But these stories are widely believed and publicized by some contemporary Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) activists.
In 2000 India's Supreme Court dismissed Oak's petition to declare that a Hindu king built the Taj Mahal and reprimanded him for bringing the action. In 2005 a similar petition was dismissed by the Allahabad High Court. This case was brought by Amar Nath Mishra, a social worker and preacher who claims that the Taj Mahal was built by the Hindu King Parmar Dev in 1196....
Oh Boy!!!
Rice with fish curry is the staple diet in Goa. Goa is renowned for its rich variety of fish dishes cooked with elaborate recipes. Coconut and coconut oil is widely used in Goan cooking along with chile peppers, spices and vinegar giving the food a unique flavour. Pork dishes such as Vindaloo, Xacuti and Sorpotel are cooked for major occasions among the Catholics. A rich egg-based multi-layered sweet dish known as bebinca is a favourite at Christmas. The most popular alcoholic beverage in Goa is feni; Cashew feni is made from the fermentation of the fruit of the cashew tree, while coconut feni is made from the sap of toddy palms.
The majority of the locals are either Christian or Hindu. The Church 'Our Lady of Mount Carmel' serves the religious interests of all the Catholics in the area. The Catholic locals worship the 'Mother Mary' and she is referred to as 'Saibinn Mai' in the local language called Konkani.
Goa has two World Heritage Sites: the Bom Jesus Basilica and a few designated convents. The Basilica holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, regarded by many Catholics as the patron saint of Goa. Once every decade, the body is taken down for veneration and for public viewing. The last such event was conducted in 2004. The Velhas Conquistas regions are also known for its Goa-Portuguese style architecture.

The Algarve region
The Algarve has something for everybody. It is steeped in history, provides all the modern amenities for a luxury holiday, is very family orientated, boasts fabulous beaches, superb sports facilities, great food and a wonderful climate!
It is easy to get to and easy to get around. The Algarve has a unique blend of old and new.
A variety of excursions can be arranged including day trips to Lisbon and Seville.
Praia da Luz is an ideal holiday destination. There is a beautiful blue flag beach and the water is clean and transparent. In addition to rock pooling a range of water sports are available from the beach as well as dolphin watching trips.
Along the promenade are artists displaying their work. The ruins of some Roman baths can be found just behind the wall which runs along the promenade. There are lots of restaurants, bars and cafés, banks and shops for everything you are likely to need. Lagos is around a 10-minute drive away and there is a regular bus service. There are some fabulous walks along the cliff tops.
Lagos zoo is only a short drive away. Slide and Splash at Lagoa is the nearest water park. Zoomarine, near Albufeira, is a great day out where you can swim with dolphins. You can visit the 'end of the world' by going west towards Sagres and maybe having a go at surfing.

"Perfect apartment with fantastic sea views in a brilliant place."
The apartment was large,modern and very comfortable. It had everything that we needed. Our son in his twenties came to visit us for 4 of our 8 days and enjoyed the beach ,food and bars. We found lots of places to eat good food. The fish dishes in Luz and nearby places were outstanding as were the steaks. There are a wide variety of bars in Luz for beer,wines and cocktails. We used the buses from Luz to visit Lagos,Burgau and Sagres. We thought the beaches and scenery were fantastic. We would go again and use this apartment without hesitation. The sooner the better. We came from NW England and flew from Liverpool but our son flew from Manchester. Both flights were easy and pleasant.

"The secret to the success of your holiday"
The secret to the success of your holiday is quite simple -- making sure your accommodation is somewhere you look forward to coming back to.We have rented in St James for some years now and have enjoyed the style and modern design the flats have had to offer but this one was the best equipped and best maintained we have had the fortune to have enjoyed, not to mention the fantastic views over the village and to the sea.The location is also only minutes walking from the many attractive bars and restaurants in the village.Would definitely come back to this one.

"Excellent apartment"
We stayed in this apartment at the end of August and absolutely loved it. It is on the second floor and has an amazing view. In reality it looks even better than the photographs on the website. Denise, the owner could not have been more helpful. Neil, her rep met us and was always on hand if we needed help. We would definitely recommend staying here and we hope to stay again. The apt is air conditioned, although with the lovely breezes in the Algarve, it's unlikely that you will need to use it. It has two big bedrooms , both with balconies and sea views. The linens were excellent and we really appreciated the beach towels. It really is a very well and luxuriously furnished apt. The kitchen has everything that you would find at home. Most importantly everywhere was spotless and like new. We have stayed in other apts. in St James and this one was certainly one of our favourites. The complex itself is quiet and well run. It has a lovely pool area behind the apt which is very well run. We never had problems getting sunbeds, even later in the day. There are a number of restaurants in the complex, and it is only a stroll from Luz village. We love western Algarve and this is the perfect location for visiting beaches such as Martinhal, Burgau, Beliche etc. You don't need a car though as everything is Luz is within walking distance. Lagos is a short bus ride away by day and a taxi by night, if you need more night life. We found all that was on offer in Luz perfect. We cannot thank Denise and her family for sharing her lovely home with us.

"Excellent accommodation, which is ideally positioned."
The apartment has everything you could want. It is very well equipped, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and has wonderful views. Added benefits, including the good sized pool and excellent nearby restaurants make this the ideal place to stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this fabulous apartment.

"Superb well equipped apartment, with fabulous sea views, that is close to all amenities."
We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at this lovely, modern apartment. The apartment is extremely comfortable and very well-eqiuipped. A real home from home! The uninterrupted sea views from the balconies are fabulous. Onsite facilities are excellent with two pools to chose from, a play area for children and 'The Coffee Cup' which sells, at very reasonable prices, great smoothies, sandwiches and home made cakes. Their carrot cake is wonderful! The complex in set in well tended grounds with lovely gardens. There are many excellent restaurants, all within walking distance of the apartment, so you are really spoilt for choice. 'Clive's Bar' is a few hundred yards away and is a great place to stop off for a drink to end your evening. Clive is an excellent host and very good at integrating all his customers. By the end of the night you almost feel a local! Excellent apartment - great location and facilities - highly recommend!

Conditionally Rare 1838 No Drapery Seated Quarter, MS65 NGC1838 25C No Drapery MS65 NGC. The device punches for what would become the Seated Liberty Quarter were completed by Christian Gobrecht during the summer of 1838. After 20 "specimens" were sent to Treasury Secretary Levi Woodbury, regular production commenced on September 29. The Philadelphia Mint produced at least 466,000 examples this year, all of which, like their 1839 and 1840-O No Drapery counterparts, lacked obverse drapery folds at Liberty's right (facing) elbow. All three of these issues are scarce in problem-free Uncirculated preservation, and what few coins have been certified at the upper reaches of the Mint State grading scale are usually snatched up quickly by type collectors when they appear on the market.
Writing in 1991, Larry Briggs says of this issue: "Head, stars, and obverse dentils are poorly struck." Obviously, the author did not have the opportunity to examine the present example, as most detail on both sides is fully brought up, save for some of the denticulation. There are also remarkably few abrasions for the type. Fully frosted, completely untoned, and undeniably attractive. NGC and PCGS combined report only six coins in MS65 and seven finer (4/04). (#5391) (NGC ID# 23SE, PCGS# 5391)

Hans Joas's Faith as an Option is primarily concerned with debunking two myths: first, the idea that modernization—advances in technology and the sciences—renders religious belief obsolete; second, the argument that secularization leads to moral decay. Joas, a leading European social theorist, is more than aware that criticisms of these claims are hardly new—contemporary scholars no longer prove keen to establish a law or rule connecting modernization and secularization, and there seems to be little or no correlation between societies with higher rates of atheism and moral decline. Instead, Joas's study mainly aims to provide a series of illuminating explanations for why these views captured the imaginations of so many for so long.

Faith as an Optionposted by Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins
The theology blind spotposted by Kristina Stoeckl
I have always been puzzled by the fact that Charles Taylor starts his book A Secular Age with a long quote from Bede Griffith in order to describe a religious type of experience. It is the description of a scene experienced by the author as a school-boy: trees are blossoming, birds are singing, the author has the sensation that angels are present and that God is looking down on him. My question is: Why this quote? Why choose an image and a language of sunset, trees and birds in order to describe something for which the different languages of theology have worked out precise and elaborate codifications? I understand, of course, that in the context of the introduction to A Secular Age, Taylor uses this quote in order to make a soft claim to the human openness to experiences of transcendental nature. He uses the rest of the eight-hundred pages of the book to explore why it has become increasingly rare and difficult in our secular age to live these kinds of experiences, let alone to look for them in the context of an organized religious tradition. Most of us, he says, live our lives in an "immanent frame" and religious belief "has become one option among many."
CFP: Post-Secularism Between Public Reason and Political Theologyposted by John D. Boy

The view from Berlin: An interview with Hubert Knoblauchposted by John D. Boy
Hubert Knoblauch is a professor of sociology at the Technical University of Berlin, where he specializes in general sociological theory, sociology of knowledge, and the sociology of religion. A student of Thomas Luckmann, he is among the most distinguished representatives of the sociology of religion in Germany today. This summer, we sat down together over some of Berlin's famously bad Indian food to discuss the sociology of religion in Germany, the influence of Jürgen Habermas, the meaning of spirituality, and ways to quit smoking.
Enter the Post-Secularposted by Michele Dillon
It was, then, a stirring sight to see Habermas sit down with Cardinal Ratzinger in 2004 for a philosophical dialogue. It is hard not to miss a breath at the image of both men in conversation, one the arch-defender of reason and rationality, described by Habermasian scholar Thomas McCarthy as the "last great rationalist," and the other, renowned as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (and subsequently as Pope Benedict XVI), for his steadfast theological defense of Catholic tradition and moral teaching. At the same time, the twinning of the two Germans made for a fitting tableau: through their long careers, both have shown little interest in sociological realities and have remained intellectually aloof from lived experience.
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.
What are the uses of religion?posted by Wei Zhu
Raising issues central to post-secularism, Ryan Gillespie reviews three distinct recent works—Steven D. Smith's The Disenchantment of Secular Discourse, Terry Eagleton's Reason, Faith and Revolution, and Jürgen Habermas' Between Naturalism and Religion— in the International Journal of Communication.

The political theology of freedom and unfreedomposted by Mateo Taussig-Rubbo
Kahn has identified an ideal—the sacrificial ideal of freedom—that exists both as an ideal and at times in practice. And while the U.S. is certainly his main subject, he describes an ideal of freedom that has purchase well beyond American borders. Perhaps this freedom is what we've seen evoked by some of the protesters in the Middle East and North Africa in recent months. And Kahn is right to draw our attention to the claim that there is something miraculous in the plausible appearance of "the people." Conjuring the people by giving up one's self seems to represent just the kind of freedom and popular sovereignty that Kahn has in mind. The challenge for those who accept Kahn's ideal is how to bring the individual and the conjured popular sovereign into a sufficient degree of unity with the apparatus of government, for such is the condition of more lasting freedom. These are the directions in which Kahn pushes us, and we need not think that he is correct on a factual or phenomenological level all of the time in order to examine this ideal, to ask when and how it emerges, and to see it as something astounding and "theological."
Religion und Öffentlichkeitposted by Charles Gelman

Religion's many powersposted by Craig Calhoun
To say that religion has power in the public sphere is not to say that it can be easily absorbed or that it should be. It is a basis for radical challenges and radical questions; it brings enthusiasm, passion, indignation, outrage, and love. If enthusiasm is sometimes harnessed to unreflective conviction, passion is also vital to critical engagement with existing institutions and dangerous trends. The public sphere and the practice of public reason have power too. And they not only take from religion but also offer it opportunities to advance by reflection and critical argument.
El poder de la religiónposted by Jessica Polebaum
El poder de la religión en la esfera pública, the Spanish language edition of The Power of Religion in the Public Sphere, will be released late this month by Trotta Editorial.
Religion as a catalyst of rationalizationposted by Eduardo Mendieta
The centrality of religion to social theory in general and philosophy in particular explains why Jürgen Habermas has dealt with it, in both substantive and creative ways, in all of his work. Indeed, religion can be used as a lens through which to glimpse both the coherence and the transformation of his distinctive theories of social development and his rethinking of the philosophy of reason as a theory of social rationalization.
For Habermas, religion has been a continuous concern precisely because it is related to both the emergence of reason and the development of a public space of reason-giving. Religious ideas, according to Habermas, are never mere irrational speculation. Rather, they possess a form, a grammar or syntax, that unleashes rational insights, even arguments; they contain, not just specific semantic contents about God, but also a particular structure that catalyzes rational argumentation.
"Leadership and Leitkultur"posted by Charles Gelman
In The New York Times, Jürgen Habermas discusses the current political situation in Germany and the general challenge to liberal democracy enfolded in attempts to define and defend a national culture.
An empirical perspective on religious and secular reasonsposted by John H. Evans
This "religion in the public sphere" thread has featured debates about whether citizens of liberal democratic societies can offer religious reasons for public laws that will be coercive on all citizens, or whether they must use, in John Rawls's terms, "public reason." . . . This normative debate is about what people should do in public debates, but knowing what people actually do would allow theorists to develop greater nuance in their analyses. When we see what people actually do, we can further inquire as to whether there are social structures that are pushing people toward good or bad behavior. For example, it is possible that the normative structure of the contemporary public sphere works so strongly against certain normative proposals that they should just be abandoned as utopian. Moreover, it is possible that we may gain normative wisdom from the collective practices of citizens. In any event, given the many hundreds of normative analyses, some empirical examinations may usefully agitate the debate.
Waiting for Godot, who is either late or not coming at allposted by Vincent P. Pecora
I wondered how long it would take DPDF participants to undo what I thought I had carefully assembled in my opening post on "Secularism, secularization, and why the difference matters." Not very long at all, it seems. And so, I will try a response here to Justin Reynolds and Alex Hernandez, both of whom have questioned what I actually mean by saying that "secularization" is a conceptual improvement over "secularism."
Muslims in European public spheres and the limits of liberal theories of citizenshipposted by Jocelyne Cesari
Recent events in Europe, from the cartoon crisis in Denmark to the controversy over the construction of minarets in Switzerland, have brought the status of Islam in the secular public sphere to the forefront of European political debates. The consequences of these debates can be seen in a hardening of the boundary between what is public and what is private, as many assume that religion generally belongs to the private sphere. Collective views in Europe have come to dictate that any claim or expression in public space deriving from religious beliefs be seen as illegitimate. As Jürgen Habermas has noted, the liberal vision of a secular public sphere imposes a special burden on the shoulders of religious citizens. Many believers, however, would not be able to undertake such an artificial division in their own minds between their religious beliefs and their civic commitments without destabilizing their existence as pious persons.
New Habermas dialogues on religion and secularismposted by Grace Yukich
An op-ed by Stanley Fish in Monday's New York Times discusses a new publication comprising the proceedings from a course of dialogues between Habermas and four Jesuit academics in 2007. They have previously appeared in German, but they are now being published in English for the first time under the title An Awareness of What is Missing: Faith and Reason in a Post-secular Age.
The Power of Religion in the Public Sphereposted by The Editors
In The Power of Religion in the Public Sphere, due out spring 2011 from Columbia University Press and the SSRC, Judith Butler, Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor, and Cornel West interrogate the specificity of religious and secular reasons, dispositions, and ethical orientations in relation to democratic politics, each taking up a different strand of the complex intertwinement of religion and the public sphere in the contemporary world.
Rethinking secularism: The power of religion in the public sphereposted by The Editors
On October 22, 2009, over 1000 people gathered in the vast and venerable Great Hall at New York City's Cooper Union to listen to four of our time's preeminent public intellectuals discuss the place of religion in contemporary politics and public life. We have gathered links to recordings, transcripts and other materials related to this event, as well as relevant posts from the archives of The Immanent Frame. We encourage you to browse, read, listen and, of course, contribute your own reflections to our ongoing discussion of "the power of religion in the public sphere."
Jürgen Habermas and Charles Taylor in conversationposted by The Editors
In a symposium convened by the Institute for Public Knowledge at NYU, the Social Science Research Council and the Humanities Institute at Stony Brook University, Judith Butler, Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor, and Cornel West came together last month to discuss the project of "rethinking secularism." Today we are posting audio and a transcript of the October 22 discussion between Habermas and Taylor, moderated by Craig Calhoun, in which the two leading philosophers discuss the place of religion in the public sphere and whether there are differences in kind between religious and secular reasons. (Listen to the paper presentations that preceded this discussion here. Add your own voice to the discussion here.)

The Immanent Frame invites you to respond to the symposium presentations by submitting comments in the space below. UPDATE: Listen to audio of the event here.
The philosopher-citizenposted by Charles Taylor
Jürgen Habermas is one of the most prominent philosophers on the global scene of the last half century. His work is of an impressive range and depth. It would be impossible to sum it up in a short essay, but I shall try to single out three facets of his extraordinary achievement which help throw light on his deserved fame and influence.
Translation and transformationposted by Craig Calhoun
In my last post, I closed with two questions relating to Jurgen Habermas's recent work on religion and the public sphere: First, is a genealogical or language-theoretical reconstruction of reason adequate without an existential connection between social and cultural history on the one hand and individual biography on the other? Second, is "translation" an adequate conceptualization of what is involved in making religious insights accessible to nonreligious participants in public discourse (and vice-versa)? The two questions are closely related, for the issue is how communication is achieved across lines of deep difference. Helpful as translation may be, it is not the whole story. […]
The renouncersposted by Robert N. Bellah
What has become clear to me in recent years is that the old dream of progress, which used to be assumed, is being replaced in popular culture by visions of disaster, ecological catastrophe in particular. If, as I believe, we human beings are at least to some extent in charge of our own evolution, we are in a highly demanding situation. Never before have calls for criticism of and alternatives to the existing order seemed so urgent. It is in this context that I want to consider whether the heritage of "the axial age"—the period in antiquity that gave rise to such social critique through practices of renunciation—is a resource or a burden in our current human crisis. […]
Secularism and critiqueposted by Charles Taylor
What are we to think of the idea, entertained by Rawls for a time, that one can legitimately ask of a religiously and philosophically diverse democracy that everyone deliberate in a language of reason alone, leaving their religious views in the vestibule of the public sphere? The tyrannical nature of this demand was rapidly appreciated by Rawls, to his credit. But we ought to ask why the proposition arose in the first place.
Secularism and the paradoxes of Muslim politicsposted by Robert Hefner
Few books in Islamic studies have been as eagerly awaited or intensely debated prior to publication as Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na`im's Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari`a. Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law at Emory University, An-Na`im has for more than twenty years been a tireless proponent of a deeply religious but liberal-modernist reformation of Islamic politics and ethics. […]
"Recognizing" religionposted by Craig Calhoun
Religion appears in liberal theory first and foremost as an occasion for tolerance and neutrality. This orientation is reinforced by both the classification of religion as essentially a private matter, and the view that religion is in some sense a "survival" from an earlier era – not a field of vital growth within modernity. […]
An ideal of conscientious engagementposted by Christopher Eberle
Many political theorists, pundits and even presidential candidates have advocated some variation on the claim that religious and secular reasons have a differential justificatory potential: at least some kinds of secular reason, but no kinds of religious reason, suffice to justify coercive laws in a pluralistic democracy….I disagree with this differential treatment of the religious and the secular — not only Habermas' particular formulation, but any position relevantly like it.
Taking religion seriouslyposted by Simone Chambers
What distinguishes Habermas from Rawls on religion in the public sphere is not Habermas's slightly amended view of public reason, but his willingness to entertain the idea that religion has a positive and substantive role to play in public debate.
Religious reasons & secular revelationsposted by Robert N. Bellah
That Jürgen Habermas and I probably agree on most fundamental issues does not mean that there are no differences between us; indeed we have engaged in a friendly debate over some of our differences over many years. Habermas writes as a "methodological atheist," which means that when doing philosophy or social science, he presumes nothing about particular religious beliefs. Another friend of mine, the well-known sociologist Peter Berger, who is a professed Christian, also does his sociology from the point of view of methodological atheism. I have heard him in a public lecture say, "Now I am taking off my sociological hat and putting on my theological hat." I don't have two hats; I am a Christian sociologist. […]
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. […]
Anti-secularismposted by Hans Joas
More than most other great systematic thinkers of our time, Jürgen Habermas has for decades consistently expressed his views on the burning issues of the day, finding inspiration for his philosophical work in contemporary realities. There is still no sign of any let-up in his tremendous capacity to produce analyses of the contemporary world. With his new volume of essays, Zwischen Naturalismus und Religion, the philosopher now presents us with a collection of writings from the 2001-2004 period […]
Religions and the postnational constellationposted by Robert N. Bellah
Granted that there is a global economy, global culture, global law, global civil society, even global festivals, why are global institutions both so promising and so weak? I want to turn to Jürgen Habermas, Europe's leading social philosopher, for help, looking particularly at his remarkable essay of 1998, "The Postnational Constellation and the Future of Democracy."
