Beware of Web Hazards!
Remember: Wikipedia may help introduce you to the general background on a subject. Sometimes, even librarians will check a Wikipedia article to get quick background information on a topic new to them. The bibliography part of a Wikipedia article may sometimes provide reliable resources to help you begin your research process. But Wikipedia is not a scholarly source for academic research.
In general, use the guidelines below to assess the authoritative value of a particular website:
- Credibility - Is it easy to figure out who's behind the information? Do they have qualifications in the field or another reason to ensure the trustworthiness of the website?
- Accuracy - Are the sources well cited? Is the information up-to-date? Are there broad, sweeping generalizations that are impossible to verify?
- Reasonableness - What is the point-of-view of the website? Is it a corporate page trying to sell you a product? Is it a government or educational site where the main purpose is to educate people?
- Support - Is it possible to verify the information from another authoritative source?
For more information about judging whether a website is reliable, take a look at this YouTube video:
Reliable Websites:

- What is plagiarism? - Plagiarism is "The action or practice of taking someone else's work, idea, etc., and passing it off as one's own; literary theft." (source: Oxford English Dictionary)
Instances of plagiarism include:
- Quoting or paraphrasing someone's work in your paper without citing it
- Expressing someone else's ideas as your own
Plagiarism is a serious matter and could result in a lower or failing grade and even expulsion from the University.
- But I didn't know! - Ignorance of the law is, unfortunately, no excuse. You can commit plagiarism without meaning to, and, it's just as serious.
- How can I avoid it? - You can avoid plagiarism by giving credit where credit is due and always citing your sources. Whenever you insert a quotation, re-word information you got from a source or present an idea developed by someone else, be sure to include a citation in the proper style. It is important to take detailed notes on where you are finding information for your paper as you find it. This helps to ensure you will cite the information correctly as you begin writing your paper.
- The American Psychological Association style, or APA, is commonly used within the social sciences including in communications. In order to avoid plagiarism it is important to document the resources by incorporating citations in text and the references page according to this manual style.
- For more information about plagiarism, see your student handbook, the CSUDH Student Code of Conduct, and this APA style page from the Purdue Online Writing Lab.
- P.S.: Take a look at our new CSUDH Library anti-plagiarism tutorial: Plagiarism: How to recognize it and get it out of your life! (and don't forget to test yourself by playing the challenging plagiarism game at the very end!).

Dover Castle
Located at the shortest crossing between the UK and continental Europe, Dover Castle played a prime role in England's historical fortunes. Invading from France, William the Conqueror built the first castle in 1066 - an earthwork structure with a motte. Henry II did most to shape the building between 1179 and 1188, adding defences radiating out from the keep to produce Europe's first concentric castle. Henry II's work was carried out with the help of Maurice the Ingeniator, and was completed by King John, resulting in a four-storey keep, a three-towered forebuilding and impregnable defensive walls.

NBA Live 09 for Wii leaves mixed feelings
posted by IanADale (AUBURNDALE, FL) Nov 12, 2008

7 out of 8 gamers (88%) found this review helpful
The gameplay is pretty good, the All Play and Classic options give great flexibility for controls. I was disappointed that the Slam Dunk Contest was limited to 1 round in single player mode, but I was glad to see simplified controls compared to the last NBA Live game I'd played on PS2.
I still gave this game an 8, so it has a lot going for it. I loved the 3-point Contest and the 5-on-5. Superstar mode looks like a smart idea too. Maybe a fantasy draft like Madden would be a fun addition, but I'm a little biased to that game franchise.
In summary, this is a fun game and probably the best basketball game out now. The graphics are more fun than realistic (of course it's not the PS3), but it was a good overall experience. I would recommend it still for any sports fan, especially if you have friends to play it with -- locally or online.
"NBA Live 09" Lacking Enthusiasm

The controls are so simple that you don't have to move the player about at all. You can pass, shoot, or try to block or steal. It's easy to pick up and play.
But the problem is the experience is very sluggish. The players walk up and down the court in a leisurely fashion, making the game very dull to watch.
Defense is almost non existent; it's easy for the ball handler to dribble right to the basket or pass it to the open player for the automatic shot.
The commentators don't add anything to the mix; sometimes they say the same remark three or four times in a row.
NBA 2K9 isn't a thrill to look at either; the graphics are the same as they were in 08.
In fact, most of the features of this game are copied over from 08; there's very little improvement in this installment.
The copied features include the Party Mode with mini games that have the same lack of energy or enthusiasm that is in the main modes. Definitely not worth $50.
Unless you really want to play a very basic and simplistic basketball game, skip NBA Live 09.

The players all move slow, it's WAY too easy to steal, for instance, I averaged 20+ steals a game, while passing is annoying as it's completly too easy to have passes picked off.
There is nothing to this game, calling plays do not work, instead you just make a regular pass. Find your 3-point specialist on your team every play, and have him shoot it, as long as he's got some space he'll make it over 90% of the time.
I absolutely hate this game, it is horrible. Not to mention, the stats for most players are unrealistic.
Examples - Dwight Howard has range just short of 3, Deron Williams cannot dunk, and sucks at passing, Mike Dunleavy is a top 10 player, Carmelo Anthony is an elite rebounder, and the Knicks are decent.
The people who made this game obviously do not watch basketball.

This is Simply Not Worth Your Time
posted by SpecialG (PORTLAND, OR) Feb 11, 2009
Member since Oct 2008
The graphics are grainy to say the least. I looked at this and found myself thinking of my old PS1 games. It is terrible that a great idea, like this goes to waste with terrible graphics.
Graphics are not the only issue. Controls are indeed very simple, too simple. You do not even control the movement of your player. You simply control shooting, passing, blocks, or steals, and those control systems are unresponsive and tricky to time properly. So much for including the casual gamer.
The Idea of having street modes like 21, Horse, 2 on 2, ETC. is a great one. But the controls, graphics, and overall simplicity destroy the fun of street action.
The great ideas are the only things keeping me from giving this game a lower grade than I did. I see potential here, but until that potential is developed this game is not worth your time.
Its missing alot of features

Above Average
Above Average but one of few aval for Wii
posted by kevvy1979 (GENTRY, AR) Oct 21, 2008

The slam dunk contest has you do a certain motion with the controller to perform a type of dunk. For instance for the tomahawk you would move the controller upward then back down when prompted. The 3 point shootout has you grab the ball then raise the controller up to jump up and then swing it down at the peak to release it.
That's how you shoot in a regular 5 on 5 game as well, with the option to switch to classic controller in setup so that you can just press 2 instead of the motion. I like both ways its just depends on what style fits you. Check out the controls first before you get into a game so know what to expect.
On the graphics front its not bad as reviewed if you are watching on a plasma or LCD HD with 480p.Dont expect 360/ps3 type character animations as the graphics are a little above ps2 level for the players/court.
I would of rated it higher if not for the lack of response when using the controller for the jump and steal motions and the same up and down ball play that has not been corrected in previous live games.
First Review: All Play Does Not= All Play: Get 360
posted by miko25 (LARGO, FL) Oct 9, 2008
Member since Nov 2004
This is slighly improved over last year; which was very basic. This year the menu is stream lined with better music and way more options.The texures are better but still lacking. However; with the new passing system it is a hit and miss. {I AM NOT looking forward to Fifa for the Wii; just the 360 and PS3}. When you pass you sometimes shoot the ball half court and all you wanted was to take the ball; other times it works. The AI is brutal to say the least; they score points from far away but even when you dunk it in it does not count. The 2 on 2 is sloppy at best and does not work well. I am not going to get the Wii version anymore (not even to rent)!

Trip Report from Gartner BI and Analytics Summit
March 25, 2013 2 Comments
Last week Composite Software was at the Gartner BI and Analytics conference in Dallas http://www.gartner.com/technology/summits/na/business-intelligence/
It was an incredible event in terms of content and community including:
– 32 Gartner analysts presented 3.5 days of content, in over 100 sessions including keynotes, workshops, roundtables and more. Data Virtualization and Data Federation (Gartner uses both terms) were highlighted as key enablers in a number of these sessions.
- Over 50 vendors participated in the solution showcase and led an additional 25 or more sessions.
- Over 1500 attendees, from both business and IT, joined as well with the goal of driving more value from their BI and Analytics investments.
Analytics to the Fore
In the opening keynote, Fast Forward: New Information. New Challenges. New Solutions, analysts Ian Bertram, Ted Friedman and Bill Hostmann suggested a tectonic realignment of IT solution thinking that placed Analytics at the center of all things IT.
This revolutionary realignment is right if you believe Professors Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT who said in a recent Harvard Business Review article:
"Companies that inject big data and analytics into their operations show productivity rates and profitability that are 5% to 6% higher than those of their peers."
CIO's certainly believe this. In a 2012 survey of 2300 CIOs by Gartner, Analytics was their number one technology priority.
So I guess it makes sense that Gartner has changed the name of this event, now calling it the BI and Analytics Summit.
Fresher Perspectives
As the guy at Composite charged with staying abreast of the latest analyst perspectives, I truly enjoyed the up-to-minute research and insights that were presented this year.
Unlike prior years where the Gartner analyst's appeared to be targeting the 50th percentile adopters in the audience, this year they focused on the vanguard, presenting only their latest research and describing the most-advanced, early adopter use cases.
Data Virtualization (and Federation) and Data Integration
In the data integration sessions such as Ted Friedman's Advancing Your Data Integration Competencies in Support of Analytics, data virtualization was discussed several times. Ted discussed increasing adoption rates in general and how data virtualization enables the Logical Data Warehouse, data access services in SOA and registry MDM implementation styles. As a best practices example of an Integration Competency Center, Ted described the shared services data integration approach used by data virtualization user and Composite customer Pfizer.
Data Virtualization (and Federation) and the Logical Data Warehouse
Along the Logical Data Warehouse theme, Mark Beyer in this session entitled Leveraging Big Data In Analytics With The Logical Data Warehouse, described data virtualization as one of the seven key elements in a Logical Data Warehouse conceptual architecture. Mark also discussed data virtualization's growing use in federating big data with the enterprise data warehouse.
You can learn more about the intersection of data virtualization and the logical data warehouse in David Besemer's video below.
In To the Point: Data, Data Everywhere and Yes, It's Accessible, Jamie Popkin covered data virtualization in the Logical Data Warehouse in a more hands-on design and deployment manner as a complement to Mark's higher level, conceptual architecture.
These sessions certainly had an impact as a number of attendees stopped by the Composite booth to discuss how we could help them get started on a Logical Data Warehouse initiative.
What Did You Think?
If you attended, I imagine you had a fun and intellectually satisfying time as well. If you did not, Gartner clients can contact their Gartner account managers for reprints and replays. And for everyone, check out #GartnerBI on Twitter. The wisdom of this crowd is amazing.

Taste, gustatory perception, or gustation is one of the five traditional senses. Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with receptors of taste buds. Taste, along with smell and trigeminal nerve stimulation, determines flavors, the sensory impressions of food or other substances. Humans perceive taste through sensory organs called taste buds, or gustatory calyculi, concentrated on the top of the tongue. The tongue is covered with thousands of small bumps called papillae, which are easily visible to the naked eye. Within each papilla are hundreds of taste buds, the organ of taste transduction. There are between 2000 and 5000 taste buds that are located on the back and front of the tongue. Others are located on the roof, sides and back of the mouth, and in the throat. Each taste bud contains 50 to 100 taste receptor cells. Taste perception fades with age: On average, people lose half their taste receptors by time they turn 20. The sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami. Taste buds are able to differentiate among different tastes through detecting interaction with different molecules or ions. Sweet, umami, and bitter tastes are triggered by the binding of molecules to G protein-coupled receptors on the cell membranes of taste buds. Saltiness and sourness are perceived when alkali metal or hydrogen ions enter taste buds, respectively. As taste senses both harmful and beneficial things, all basic tastes are classified as either aversive or appetitive, depending upon the effect the things they sense have on our bodies. Sweetness helps to identify energy-rich foods, while bitterness serves as a warning sign of poisons.
The New Hacker's Dictionary
1. The quality in a program that tends to be inversely proportional to the number of features, hacks, and kluges programmed into it. Also tasty, tasteful, tastefulness. "This feature comes in N tasty flavors." Although tasty and flavorful are essentially synonyms, taste and flavor are not. Taste refers to sound judgment on the part of the creator; a program or feature can exhibit taste but cannot have taste. On the other hand, a feature can have flavor. Also, flavor has the additional meaning of 'kind' or 'variety' not shared by taste. The marked sense of flavor is more popular than taste, though both are widely used. See also elegant. 2. Alt. sp. of tayste.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
The ability to detect chemicals through gustatory receptors in the mouth, including those on the TONGUE; the PALATE; the PHARYNX; and the EPIGLOTTIS.

(CBS) -- President Barack Obama countered Mitt Romney's Big Bird and binders on Monday night with horses, bayonets and Battleship. Who won? The Internet, of course.
Obama's broadside reply to Romney's shot at the size of the Navy took off instantly on social networks and dominated online discussion of the candidates' final debate.
A look at some key online trends from the night:
HORSES AND BAYONETS: The exchange started with Romney challenging his Democratic opponent by saying the Navy is too small and has fewer ships than it did in 1916.
Obama's response: "Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets. ... We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship, where we're counting ships."
The online reaction was swift.
On Twitter, the hashtag "horsesandbayonets" immediately began trending in the United States and became the top trend in the country and third worldwide, even an hour after the debate ended. On Facebook, users created more than 50 pages named "Horses and Bayonets." The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also pounced, posting a meme declaring "Obama just sank Romney's battleship" that generated more than 84,000 likes and was shared more than 16,000 times in an hour.
REGIONS: Iran, Libya, Israel, Syria, Detroit and even Mali all made appearances among Twitter's trending topics in the United States and worldwide as Obama and Romney sparred on U.S. foreign policy. Bill Maher weighed in with a jab at voters after Romney mentioned al-Qaida's presence in Mali. Said the comedian on Twitter: "Mitt, you do know that most of America thinks Mali is one of Obama's daughters, right?"
BOB SCHIEFFER: The veteran CBS newsman was largely spared the same criticism unleashed by the Internet on previous moderators Jim Lehrer and Candy Crowley. He took some ribbing after a gaffe in which he referred to "Obama's bin Laden," but received even more praise for saying everyone loves teachers and closing the debate by saying his mom's advice is "go vote."
HOPE OF THE EARTH: Romney's reference to America being the hope of the Earth in his closing statement earned him praise from supporters and sarcasm from detractors. It fit with a phrase that went viral on Twitter earlier in the debate, in which he said his goal is a "peaceful planet."
THE MAIN EVENT: On a night with "Monday Night Football" and the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants contending for baseball's National League championship, the debate won heads up on social networks as the events were played simultaneously. Two-thirds of the way through Obama-Romney 3, eight of nine top trending topics on Twitter in the United States were related to the debate. Even in the moments after San Francisco clinched a berth to its second World Series in three years, the "horsesandbayonets" hashtag was more popular.

StarLight by BittersweetLove
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: The stars are amazing things. They are always there, no matter what. The one constant thing in Ginny Weasley's life. But they can also trigger unusual confessions...
This story is set during Deathly Hallows when Draco, Ginny, and friends are at Hogwarts. It's just a little scene I wished to happen but it didn't. It's not very romancey, not matter what category it's in. And Draco didn't go to school. Which explains the AU warning. So... One-shot songfic to Starlight by Muse.

I especially appreciate the correct but infrequently heard point that business cannot just "pass on" government-imposed higher costs, as in Obamacame, to customers. After all, companies are already charging all they can, consistent with the highest profit. Instead, businesses are hollowed out, and the owners ripped off again, in the name of the welfare state.8:41 am on November 21, 2012 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

Auto Loan Originations At Highest Levels In Five Years, Equifax Reports
ATLANTA, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest data from Equifax's National Consumer Credit Trends Report shows that the total number of auto loan originations from January- August 2012 totaled 14.6 million -- the highest number of originations for that timeframe since 2007 (14.8 million).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060224/CLF037LOGO )
Total outstanding auto loan balances through October 2012 are more than $770 billion, an increase of 11% since auto loan balances bottomed out in April 2011. Similarly, the total number of existing auto loans through October 2012 was more than 58 million, which represents a 33-month high.
"Consistent growth in the auto industry is influenced by a combination of factors, including the decreasing amount of write-offs and severely derogative accounts paired with corresponding increases in the numbers of total originations and loan sizes," said Equifax Chief Economist Amy Crews-Cutts. "Sustained recent consumer demand for auto leasing, financing and purchase has driven a return of this portfolio to pre-recession numbers more rapidly than any other lending sector."Other highlights from the most recent data include:
- New auto loan originations year-to-date through August 2012 totaled more than $283 billion, which is the highest for that timeframe since 2006 ( $297.5 billion).
- The average loan amount ($19,492) for the month of August 2012 stands at a six-year high, and is only exceeded by same-time 2006 ($20,291).
- The most current data shows the number of new auto loans funded by auto finance companies increased 31% from the recession low for the month of August 2009 from 717,600 to more than one million in August 2012, a five-year high.
- The most current data also shows the number of new auto loans funded by bank, savings and loan or credit union reached 984,300 in August 2012, a seven-year high for that month.

Etsy Take Five Tuesdays
It's time to highlight some of my personal favorites over at Etsy this week! Today I have an eclectic mix for you, a little something for all starting with art that has heart, then moving on to pom pom headbands (you'll see!), sweet fabrics, crafty finds and wrapping up with some pretty sweet prints by (surprise!) a guy – let's face it, the ladies tend to dominate over at Etsy so when I find a guy with a great shop I usually do a little woot! woot! dance in my seat. Have fun!
Love is in this air with Sarah + Bendrix from the UK. Don't these look like something you'd find in some amazing London flat in Livingetc magazine or something? Love these. And best part, they look great on display long after February 14th.
Maranon is amazing! Her knit and hand embroidered accessories are edgy and bold. Imagine wearing this pom pom headband? I can't, but it's very cool, especially for fashion shoots, runway, or if you're hosting a fun cocktail party at home – it would be a riot to see what your friends think when you answer the door with giant pom poms on your head which remind me a bit of a mouse. Really sweet. The necklaces on the other hand, I would totally wear. Some of these would be great with a black turtleneck, some skinny jeans and a pair of caramel leather boots.
On the prowl for fabrics that are sweet and colorful, perhaps for crafts or the bedroom of your little one? Scarlet Fig by fabric designer Laurie Wisbrun sells her own original designs available to ship worldwide — fabrics and pillow covers are available.
Littleclouds is from the UK but recently moved to Hong Kong on a little adventure where she crafts all things cute from paper and fabric. You can't help but notice her slight nod to her English roots in her products — and I like that. Her tea bag coasters are screen printed onto cork and are a personal favorite of mine.
I haven't shared work from Carving My Initials in awhile so in case you'd not read about him before, here is your chance to be exposed to some gorgeous lines and shapes – these are prints made from original paintings by artist Jim DeLucia in Rochester, New York.

I love the work of the first two artists! I think the necklaces are quite affordable given the amount of work (and time) it represents to make. It is the right price point and I would spend that much for a cute accessory, handmade on top of it!
I also like that sarah+bendrix is providing the frame for her artwork; ready for display as soon as you get it in the mailbox!!

Ooh! Ooh! I love the necklaces and heart art – though I must admit now my wheels are turning as to how I could do my own little DIY version of the heart art!
And I just clicked through Littleclouds shop & started cracking up over the "I heart poo" card – I may have to order that for my friend who has a toddler ;)

So there I was pondering on what to give my husband on Valentine's Day, when I wandered over to Decor8 to check out your latest posts, and my eye immediately fell upon those wonderful framed paper hearts – and what do you know, she's a UK seller too. I've checked out her shop, and already chosen the picture I'm going to purchase. C'est trop parfait! Merci :-)

Indigestion, also known by the medical term dyspepsia, is due to a problem in the secretion of digestive juices in the stomach. Usually indigestion occurs after eating spicy or fatty foods or overeating. Some symptoms of indigestion are bloating, gas, burning sensation in the abdomen area, and vomiting.
You can easily get relief from indigestion symptoms using ingredients from your pantry. For instance, drinking a glass of water at the first sign of indigestion can give you much relief. Water helps dilute stomach acids thus giving you relief from bloating and burning. There are also many other ingredients that can be used to treat indigestion.
Here are the top 10 home remedies for indigestion.
(Out of the 10, we have covered 3 highly effective home remedies in this video as well.)
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is often used to kick start a slow stomach and settle indigestion due to its antibiotic properties.
- Add one tablespoon apple cider vinegar to a cup of water.
- Mix in one teaspoon honey.
- Drink this solution two to three times a day for quick relief.
2. Fennel Seeds
Fennel seeds can be really helpful for indigestion caused by very spicy or fatty food. Fennel seeds contain oil that can help reduce nausea and control flatulence.
- Dry roast, grind, and sieve fennel seeds. Take half a teaspoon of this powder along with water. Follow this remedy twice daily.
- Alternatively, you can drink fennel tea, made by adding two teaspoons of crushed fennel seeds to a cup of hot water.
- Another option is to simply chew a spoonful of fennel seeds to get relief from indigestion symptoms.
3. Ginger
Ginger stimulates digestive juices and the flow of enzymes that help you digest your food. This makes ginger an effective remedy for indigestion from overeating.
- Take two teaspoons of ginger juice, one teaspoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of table salt and black salt. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and consume it with or without water, whatever suits you.
- Sprinkle salt on some fresh ginger slices and chew it thoroughly.
- You can also drink homemade ginger tea to get relief from bloating, cramps, gas and stomach aches. To make ginger tea, add one-half teaspoon of ground ginger to a cup of hot water and let it steep for two to three minutes.
- Adding ginger as a spice in your recipes can also help if you are suffering from indigestion.
4. Baking Soda
Indigestion often happens due to high levels of stomach acids. Baking soda is one of the most simple and effective treatments for indigestion because it acts like an antacid. Stir one-half teaspoon of baking soda into half a glass of water. Drinking this solution will neutralize the acid in your stomach and give your relief from bloating.
5. Coriander
Coriander is an effective spice to treat indigestion.
- Add some roasted coriander seeds to half a glass of buttermilk and drink it twice a day.
- You can also mix roasted coriander with ground cardamom seeds, cloves and ginger to make a paste.
6. Herbal Tea
Drinking herbal tea after eating a heavy meal can greatly reduce indigestion. Dip your favorite herbal tea bag into a hot cup of water and cover it for five minutes. Drink it while it is still warm. You can try herbal tea containing mint, raspberry and blackberry for instant relief. Peppermint or chamomile tea can also calm your stomach, especially after overeating.

"I was looking for unusual design for" we've moved". Saw many many houses, packing boxes, etc. this one with fish was different. also a plus I was able to add a message to back of card."
"I just received my cards and they are amazing. They were printed on high quality paper and the print was very well done and professional looking. The design looks beautiful. Well worth the price."
"The quality of this card was top notch It was easy to personalize and offered different color options. For a military family making its second move in one year, it was perfect for our needs. Everyone who received the cards loved them!"
"Love them when I received them. My house closed faster then planned, so I ordered with the express delivery and they came a day earlier then anticipated. Great Job all the way around. Ordering as we speak for my next special occasion."
"I really love how this announcement turned out!! It's a really cute design and the text was crisp and clear. We received quite a few compliments on them. This is my first purchase from TinyPrints - I have relatives who order all the time, but this was my first time - will definitely order more items! The envelopes were a little oddly sized - oversized yet hard to get the cards in them - had to be careful not to bend the card. That was the only issue I had, but it was minimal - as long as I put the cards in carefully, it was fine."

This L.A. band's debut has been gaining momentum since its release last year, fueled largely by the vivid desperation of first single ''Sometime Around Midnight.'' If that song's success is just bringing TATE to your attention, you'll find an occasionally derivative album that's enthralled with guitar noise, overflowing with lit-mag lyrics, and unafraid to be ugly. It's also sewn through with an endearing passion that screams of potential. Wait: Slow career build, songs that linger, room for growth...isn't this how we used to make bands? B+

Discover Ministry Briefing! --> The Best Way To Keep "In The Know"!
This is so true.
This week as you prepare for your weekend services… which library will you read from?
As you deal with your staff and your congregation… which library will you read from?
Theological debates are fun. I love them. But when they begin to define your ministry or your personality, they're all of a sudden not so fun.
Can you debate without getting angry?
Can you have a theological discussion and come away feeling ok with sometimes disagreeing on the non-essentials?
HT: NakedPastor
Great visual Todd. Not pointed at you but certainly for all of us who post blogs, which library will we blog from? Which library will we use to filter peoples words?
In the highest ideal, our disagreements drive us to dig deeper, to find out if our first stance is based on the truth or not. They provide a valuable check to help us stay in balance. Fury and defensiveness cloud our judgment and demonstrate childishness, not faith or wisdom. It's hard to be "wise as serpents, harmless as doves", but it's worth it to try.
personally, I admire those that have the energy to haggle & disagree about every little detail that annoys them. I struggle to find the time & engergy to get into every home asking for counseling, every hospital bed than is asking for prayer, every Bible Study needing leadership, every sermon that needs…. you get the idea…
I relish coming up for a breath of fresh air and spending some positive time in Christian fellowship with a "co-laborer" (if there is such a word).
Don't get me wrong, I will fight the fights that need fighting but I won't die on every hill I come to.
F.Y.I. LOVE your site.
I look forward to it each Monday morning. Keep up the good work.
Most of what I'm reading these days is I think, coming from that little library on top… but when it comes to viewing interesting videos on the internet, the stuff in that bottom library is way more fun…
In some part I disagree with you. Though in most part, including it being a heart felt sentiment of my own, I fully agree. Allow me to explain.
When handling truth,especially important truth of which none is more so than the knowledge of God, we constantly discover errors and falsehoods being taught. Almost always derived from a place of disagreement but also frequently coming from a place of unhealthy agreeableness. When we encounter such things, we should call them out and present the truth. The letters of Paul are a perfect example. Also, disagreement presents the "iron sharpening iron" relationships we are called to embrace. Still yet, presentation of a alternative versus simple agreement makes for a much more interesting presentation. Even when writing a story, something must grind against the smooth flow of.events to make the story interesting, captivating or even believable. Also, it should be pointed out that almost all of the most admired theological minds of our time have a distinction to their ministry and teaching that defines them apart from the whole. The disagreement, as it were, defines them.
But we for the most part get it all wrong. We make a challenge of ideas into a challenge of individuals and their worth or integrity. At the end of a disagreement brothers should put their contentions aside (if they have not in fact been resolved), take pleasure in the mental exercise afforded them by the argument and embrace the truths that make us brothers. The art of disagreeing yet loving is.almost wholly lost. Thus worthy calls to arms (or disarms, as it were) such as yours.
That was way longer than I.meant it to be… :-/

Devart is a leading company working in the database connectivity area. It offers well-known native VCL/CLX components and dbExpress drivers for direct access to Oracle, MS SQL Server and MySQL. Devart provides advanced data access solutions for the Microsoft .NET Framework - ADO.NET data providers for native connectivity to Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL database servers. It is also a vendor of powerful database tools designed to automate and simplify database development process.
What is a .NET component? .NET components are pre-built pieces of software that you can re-use within the Microsoft .NET Framework (pronounced dot net framework) to help you create your application faster and hopefully with fewer bugs. By re-using .NET software components you not only save time and money, but you also get the opportunity to use other people's expertise and knowledge that will give your app extra functionality and features - fast. In this filtered view of our product catalog you will only find .NET compatible products, these products include both .NET Components and .NET Controls as .NET downloads for you to try and buy.
What is a .NET Control? A .NET Control has a visual aspect and can be used on a form or Web page to control the behavior of the user interface, so the user of the app can use a .NET UI Control to: enter data, click on a button, select from items displayed on a drop down list, draw a chart or graph based on data that they have entered into a .NET datagrid control etc.
What is the difference between a .NET Component and a .NET Control?
A .NET Component does not always have to have a visual interface, for example a .NET Component could work behind the scenes on a server and be used to calculate the tax due on an invoice for goods sold to a customer or to create a PDF version of that invoice and then email it to the customer's email address. .NET Controls are User Interface (UI) controls and they are a subset of .NET Components and as such all .NET Controls are therefore .NET Components, however, the reverse is not true, a .NET Component is not also a .NET Control, as a .NET Component does not have to have a visual or visible interface and it does not have to appear on a Windows form, Web Form or Web page as part of the UI.
In this .NET Components marketplace you will find both .NET Controls and .NET Components - available as commercial grade, quality .NET software component products. You will find ASP.NET controls that you can use as an ASP.NET developer for your latest Web site or Intranet project, VB controls for your Visual Basic app and there are numerous VB .NET control products listed here as VB.NET Controls. If you are a C# developer looking for a C# component or C# controls you will also find a wide selection of C# .NET controls, C# .NET component products and .NET custom control products that will meet your needs.
The range of .NET Component and .NET Control products includes: .NET WinForm Controls, ASP.NET Controls, ASP.NET AJAX Controls, .NET Class Components or .NET Class Libraries, .NET Web Services, .NET Compact Framework (.NET CF) products for mobile & hand-held device apps, .NET LINQ Classes for data access, WPF Controls or Windows Presentation Foundation Controls and Silverlight Controls for the latest .NET Framework 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 environments. Finally you will also find a special form of ASP.NET server control that can be used inside SharePoint, these are called Web Part Controls.
Our .NET component product range will give you a choice of controls for .NET, whether you are using them as a control in C# or as VB NET controls for your next VB project or in any other .NET development language or .NET based IDE that supports the use of .NET software components. There are well over 1,000 commercial grade, high quality .NET component based products available in this .NET component product gallery that you can search for, compare, download, review, try and buy!

Date Posted: 30 April 2008
I launched Usdaw's Freedom From Fear campaign in 2002 to highlight
and tackle a rising tide of violence, threats and abuse against our
members and all shopworkers.
This high profile campaign
has attracted considerable support from the main retailers, their
trade associations, Government and the general public. Our members
and activists have worked hard to promote the campaign. The many
street stalls, petition signatures, postcard campaigns and MPs'
workplace visits have made a real difference.
Most importantly, the
campaign gives a strong message to our members, 'Abuse is not a
part of the job'. For too long shopworkers felt they had to put up
with verbal abuse and threats. They also felt there was no real
answer to violence against shopworkers.
I am proud to lead a
campaign that very clearly says to our members that unacceptable
behaviour from customers must not be a part of your daily working
lives. I am also proud that our Union is there to support our
members and challenge employers and the Government to deal with
this problem. We brought employers to the table to ensure that the
issues of violence, threats and abuse of retail staff were tackled
together. Some employers were ready to embrace our campaign, but
some were not aware of the issue initially. I am pleased to say
that our campaign has significantly improved employers' support for
a safe working environment in their stores.
The issues of violence,
threats and abuse against shopworkers were not on the Government's
agenda before we launched the Freedom From Fear campaign. That is
no longer the case. The Government is now delivering important
policies to help keep our members safe at work and tackle
anti-social behaviour in the wider community. I am delighted that
the Home Secretary has agreed to write a foreword for this
document, which clearly demonstrates the strength of our
Now that we are six years
into the campaign it is important that we reflect on what we have
achieved and assess the priorities for our future campaigning. This
I hope that this document
inspires you to work with me, campaigning to prevent violent
attacks, threatening behaviour and verbal abuse against
