5 Prompts What Way To Find Reliable Web Sources To Cite
Share this:
Are you still wondering why to bother about the choice of online sources for your works or writing tasks? Firstly, if you tend to consult unreliable web sources, you are sure to ruin your reputation and as a result, get low grades, lose your constant readers, have low search engine rankings, etc. This becomes possible because you may use out-of-date facts, false statements or even plagiarized ones not realizing that it is so. Secondly, you are more likely to fall into the trap when citing so called "fake characters" who don't exist in real life and got used to copy-pasting techniques.
So, should you always run a deep analysis of the sources? On the one hand, it's very time-consuming, but on the other hand, you don't want to put yourself at risk, do you? Well, let's dwell on this a bit.
When To Investigate Thoroughly?
The fact is that you needn't carry out a profound web research to check credibility of web sources all the time. For example, when you are on the point of writing an essay on the most popular hobbies or review of a film or program, generally, you are free to rely on any sources of information, which you consider to be adequate enough.
Though, if your task is to write something more fundamental, like thesis, term paper, scientific or analytical article, then you are required to use only highly credible sources, of course.
So, the more serious your writing task is (i.e. its type and subject-matter), the pickier you should be about selecting a web source to cite. But the research has to be carried out anyway.
What Are The Characteristic Features Of Reliable Online Sources?
No doubt, that reliable web sources should have proper "exterior design", particularly font size, pictures, graphs, etc. are to be accurate and refer to published information. However, you do understand that these are not the most important things, which good quality sources should possess.
Among the most essential "interior design" attributes are the following:
- name of an author having written an article;
- date when an article was written or published;
- references to the sources used by an author;
- facts mentioned should be well-grounded and unbiased;
- generally, a good web source has either ".edu" or ".gov" in the end of a website name [1], however, the web sources belonging to "a respected university, a credible media outlet, government program or department, or well-known non-governmental organizations" are considered to be highly credible too. [2]
Obviously, these are not the only prompts you may take advantage of. Below you can find 5 more tips to help you out.
Prompt #1. Give Preference To The First Hand Information
Not to be influenced by somebody's opinion and to avoid misinterpretations, you should consult original sources of information instead of those, which make references to them.
For example, if you used to turn to Wikipedia, you'd better find a link to the original source this site acknowledges and look for more details there. Thus, you will also have a better understanding of the issues described and a chance to carry out more thorough analysis of the information to formulate your own opinion about the matter and draw some conclusions.
Prompt #2. Have A Look At The Sources Cited By Sources You're Going To Use
A man is known by his friends, the same goes about all web sources. Namely, only reputable sources will cite other reputable sources, otherwise the facts stated by them could be doubtful.
For example, if you've found a web site and it seems worthy to make reference to, what would you think about this very source the moment you see that most of the sources cited there are self-published blogs of unknown authors or even forums? You are likely to change your mind and avoid citing this source at all. And it will be the right solution!
Prompt #3. Research The Medium To Find Corresponding Online Source
You are sure to know many printed credible sources of information (i.e. magazines, newspapers, journals, etc), aren't you? So, why not conduct a brief Google research to find out whether there are some corresponding online sources? Thus, you can save a great deal of time! Besides, the online sources may contain more information, that could be left out by their printed verions.
Prompt #4. Pay Attention To Online Materials' Reviews
Should you write something rather substantial, you may also look for articles' expert reviews in order to know what way others value them. Please note that unbiased reviews have to mention both advantages and drawbacks of a particular source.
Prompt #5. Look For The Sources With Expertise
This approach is applicable whenever you want to be 100% sure that the information you cite is valuable indeed. Particularly, you should pay special attention to what subject-matters a source focus on, e.g. if it "specializes" in several absolutely different subjects like astronomy, fashion, military forces and home appliances… obviously, it isn't worth citing.
Stick To Your Own Point Of View
Well, the chase after credible web sources is really wearisome, since everybody's aware of the fact that the Internet is littered with irrelevant information, false statements or twisted facts.
Therefore, one of the best solutions to overcome these obstacles is not to forget to express your opinion, which is always appreciated much more than simply dwelling on what an author meant.
So, don't lose your face!

This weekend the weather took a turn and there is hope that spring is coming. Red, George, and I spent 30-45 minutes walking at Lewis Park. It was good for us to get the fresh air in our lungs and get the blood circulating again.
Here's where it gets serious. I just got back from the Platte County Public Health office where, since we don't own a scale, I weigh in. I knew I was probably around 200 pounds, but was hoping it wasn't true. The truth is, I weigh 202.25!!! Not even at any of my 5 heaviest pregnancy weights was I that heavy. No wonder my size 14 jeans don't fit! Serious!
My family is my inspiration. Red strength trains daily, seriously. Jeremy runs, seriously. BJ rolls, seriously. Sarah dances, does roller derby, and runs, seriously. George runs, lifts, and training for his first Spartan Challenge, seriously. Clare dances, and does yoga, seriously. I have so many resources to draw from. Serious!
So I need to get Serious!
I am 50 pounds over-weight. 50 pounds! Holy Cow! 50 POUNDS! SERIOUS!!! OINK!!!
My entire body is painful, and very weak. Thank God I've been able to keep my diabetes in control (sorta). I've worked through the depression resulting from Mom passing away in October 2013. I've decided that I just have to work through the pain in my body and by doing so, the pain will go away.
Here's the plan that I began on Saturday…..Strenghth training every other day, walking to and from work 4 days a week (that's 2 miles a day), walk at least an extra mile on the off days from weight training.
So, come on, FFF members! Let's get this up a going again! We need to hold each other up. We can do this!!!

Name Check
What's in a name? Beijing means "northern capital", but the city has had quite a few different names during its long history. Yanjing (as in the beer) and Dadu (as in the hotel) are present-day clues to some of this great city's previous IDs. Contrary to appearances, Beijing has not always been the capital of China.
For thousands of years it was an important northern stronghold, but the actual center of national political power rested further south. For long periods, under the powerful dynasties if the Qin (221-206BC), Han (206BC-220AD) and Tang (618-907), all China was under unified rule from dynastic capitals further south along the Yellow River. But in the Song dynasty (960-1279), large areas of northern China were actually under the control of nomadic tribes who ruled under dynasties of the Liao (916-1125) and Jin (1115-1234).
What we now call Beijing was the capital of these northern regimes, but national capital status (and the name Dadu) did not come until the Mongol Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) finally defeated the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) in the south. The Ming court initially set their capital in Nanjing, but later thought better of their decision and transferred it to Beiping (ie Beijing). The Qing put their own stamp on the city, which, apart from during the War of Liberation (1946-1949), has remained capital of China ever since 1421.
So, names apart, how did the city change during its succession of rulers? Read on!

BILA lunchtime lecture: Insurable interest – a rule in search of a rationale? - Friday 18th September 2015
Insurable interest is the most recent topic of attention of the Law Commission team responsible for the Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012 and the Insurance Act 2015.
This "double-header" lecture will consider the case for and against abolition of the doctrine of insurable interest, with a particular focus on interests in life assurance.
As a topic, insurable interest continues to be discussed and (occasionally) litigated as new forms of insurance product (and new examples of the perverse incentives insurance can create) arise. Comparable jurisdictions (e.g. Australia) have largely abolished the requirement of an insurable interest without alarm.
Insurable interest may have a significant role to play in establishing the boundary between insurance and other risk-related contracts such as gambling and credit default swaps.
The speakers will be James Davey of Southampton University and Stephen Lewis of the Law Commission.
James Davey is Professor of Insurance and Commercial Law at the University of Southampton, where he is a member of the Institute of Maritime Law and co-director of the Insurance Law Research Group. He has published extensively on insurance law and regulation, including articles in the Cambridge Law Journal, Lloyd's Maritime & Commercial Law Quarterly and the Journal of Business Law. He has a keen interest in insurance law theory, including aspects of behavioural economics as a model for regulation.
Stephen Lewis, a former BILA Chairman, was appointed as Law Commissioner for Commercial and Common Law on 1 January 2015. For the previous 10 years he was a consultant at Clyde and Co, working within the firm's international insurance and reinsurance group. He joined Clyde and Co after almost 20 years as a partner at Clifford Chance. Stephen's responsibilities at the Law Commission include the recent further consultation on insurable interest, a report on which is currently awaited.

As the seasons change, so should our hair care, for our tresses are likely to require a different kind of protection and need the help of various cosmetic products to ensure they stay looking healthy and gorgeous – whatever the weather! During the summer, you were probably using products to help protect your hair from the heat, the salt of the sea and the chlorine of the swimming pool, but with winter here at last you'll need to reconsider the products you are using. Cold, frosty winds can have a harsh effect on your hair and leave it looking frizzy and feeling dry, making it quite unmanageable.
If you want to boast beautiful, winter-wonderful hair this season, take a look at our hair care guide.
Treat it with oil
It's not often we're told to reach for the oil, but during the winter using oil in your hair once or twice a week can do wonders for it. There's a wide range of hair oils on the market that are designed to lock in moisture, nourish and repair hair and are perfect for helping to restore any shine and softness that the winter weather may have taken away. Macadamia Oil is a popular choice among hairdressers as it is a lightweight treatment that won't leave your hair too oily.
Avoid too much heat
Just as you would protect your hair from the heat in the summer, your hair needs protecting from the heat in the winter too! While you're in no danger of damaging it from the sun, using an excessive amount of heat on your hair with hairdryers and straighteners can weaken your split ends, causing your hair to become far more likely to frizz the moment you step outside into the cold. When you get out of the shower, gently towel-dry your hair so that it doesn't drip and leave yourself enough time to that your hair dries naturally as much as possible. Use the hairdryer on a low heat to finish it off and try to avoid using straighteners if you can – a natural wave is definitely in at the moment anyway.
Condition, condition, condition!
Conditioner is a must and should be used generously every time you wash your hair. You should never scrub your hair with conditioner, as this will only make your hair knotty and harder to brush, rather comb it through your hair from top to bottom with your fingers, giving yourself a little head massage to encourage natural oils to the surface as you go. Coconut milk can leave your hair feeling fantastically silky, so if you can find a conditioner that contains it, go for it. If you have the time, every now and then it's worth leaving your conditioner in for a while before washing it out as it acts as a sort of hair mask. You'll certainly notice the difference. If you're really struggling to make your hair listen to you, leave in a pea-sized drop of conditioner while your hair is still wet.
Trying to control your loose hair and keep it looking good on a windy day is near on impossible, so why not just tie it back? Tying it back during the day in a topknot or plait can help it to retain its moisture and prevent it from drying out. It will also keep it from getting knotty and prevent you from having to pull half of your hair out trying to brush through it later! When you do find knots in your hair, it's always best to use a comb rather than a brush to get them out. Macadamia Natural Oil has produced a unique comb infused with healing oil, designed to help detangle hair. You can find it on our website at a great price.
There's no reason why you can't sport fabulously luscious hair this winter when you have the right products and advice to help you take good care of it. At Direct Cosmetics, we make sure we adhere to all of your beauty needs by providing you with everything from hair care products to beauty must-haves, to help you look and feel gorgeous. For more beauty advice be sure to check our regularly updated blog, or browse the website for the products you need, today.

The evolution and function of the human skull and feeding apparatus is intimately related to the mechanical demands imposed by food items. Primate dietary resources may often been seasonal, resulting in the consumption of non-preferred, difficult-to-process "fallback foods." Indeed, seasonality is invoked in ecological interpretations of fossil hominins (e.g. Paranthropus). Despite the temporal complexity of primate diets, little work exists related to the long-term impact of variability of dietary properties on craniofacial development. This study uses a well-established experimental species, the laboratory rat, to model primate skull growth as affected by temporal shifts in dietary properties. Four dietary cohorts (n=10/cohort) were raised from weaning to skeletal maturity. Two cohorts were fed a stable diet of either solid or powdered pellets. The other two cohorts were fed a variable diet of either solid/powdered pellets for the first half of the study, followed by a shift to the opposite diet. In-vivo microCT imaging was used to quantify ontogenetic changes in craniofacial morphology. Skeletal growth rates were assessed via fluorochrome labeling, and serological markers related to skeletal physiology were analyzed across the growth period. Results describe patterns of morphological variation and covariation in the mammalian craniofacial complex related to temporal dietary variability. This experimental approach emphasizes the capacity of laboratory studies to generate longitudinal data at multiple organismal levels which compliment observational and comparative studies of primates. An enhanced understanding of the impact of dietary composition on craniofacial variation is critical for evaluating ecomorphological reconstructions of feeding behavior in living and fossil primates.
The research was supported by a NSF DDRIG (1061368), the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the American Society of Mammalogists. This material is the result of work supported with resources and the use of facilities at the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veteran's Hospital, Columbia, MO.

How do we create more money for those below the poverty line? We can use the heavy hand of government through higher taxes; although Kansas already has among the highest tax burdens and tax rates in this part of the country.
Or we can use the time-tested principles of economic liberty and free markets, which are proven methods for wealth creation and reduction of poverty.
We can cut taxes and reduce the state's regulatory burden to spur more economic growth.
The Fraser Institute ranks every country in the world according to its economic freedom. Its simple summary of economic freedom is:
"The freest economies operate with minimal government interference, relying upon personal choice and markets to answer the basic economic questions such as what is to be produced, how it is to be produced, how much is produced, and for whom production is intended. As government imposes restrictions on these choices, there is less economic freedom."
Countries with the most economic freedom have greater income growth, longer life spans and a cleaner environment.
Per capita economic output in the top 25 percent most economically free countries is 2.5 times that of the next 25 percent. The top 25 percent is eight times higher than the bottom quartile.
The most economically free countries had less corruption, more civil liberties, less concentration of wealth and lower unemployment.
The results are similar when states are compared to each other. Per capita economic output in the freest states is nearly $6,000, or 19 percent more than the output in states with the least economic freedom.
American society is a very mobile one, with few obstacles to seeking new economic opportunities.
During the 1990s, the 10 states with the highest tax burden lost 2.1 million residents while the 10 states with the lowest tax burdens gained 2.8 million residents.
For more than the past decade, Kansas loses more residents than we gain each year. And the residents we gain earn less income than those we lose. South Dakota gains new residents each year.
Sales taxes have the greatest negative impact on those who have lower incomes. Reducing the sales tax provides a direct and immediate benefit to those at the poverty level because it gives them more money to spend on necessities.
However, income taxes may have the biggest impact on economic growth.
While those at the lowest income levels have a small or even non-existent income tax burden, a high overall tax burden reduces economic opportunity and reduces job growth. Higher income taxes are a disincentive to invest, whereas investing in business growth creates job opportunities for those who are at lower income levels.
Let's lower our sales and income taxes to the rates of neighboring Missouri and Oklahoma, and reduce or eliminate the capital gains tax. By doing so, we can start a path toward more economic freedom and increased incomes for all Kansas citizens.
Alan Cobb of Topeka is the National Director of Americans for Prosperity, a group that promotes free markets.

Metacritic, the internet's sort-of database for critical reviews, recently published its list of directors with the highest on-average score on the site.
Littered with names such as Edgar Wright, Richard Linklater and Ava DuVernay, the list is an interesting (if not comprehensive or completely correct) compilation, concluding that Alfonso Cuaron is in fact the filmmaker worthy of the title. But it does actually beg the question, who actually is the best director of the 21st century?
So, we thought we'd weigh in with our own suggestions. Some have been included in Metacritic's list, others (because, God knows, critics aren't always right, despite what we tell ourselves) are not.
Metacritic's basic rules for its ranking stated that each director must have at least four or more theatrically released films, first released on or after January 1st, 2001 and were collated up until July 12th, 2017. Our own rule for this was that the director's we picked shouldn't be viewed as a legacy act, and must have been a cinematic talent that truly hit their stride in the 21st century. So, that discounts your Speilbergs, Tarantinos and your Lynchs.
So, with all of that in mind, away we go.
The director whom Metacritic names as the best director of the 21st century. You may well know Cuaron for directing the best Harry Potter film (the Prisoner of Azkaban, like you had to ask) but in the past decade-and-a-half, Cuaron has carved a place in Hollywood where he makes emotionally resonant, socially relevant films without sacrificing in terms of style or scale. He explored the resolution of determination of one woman alone in space, a microcosmic event that is a literal metaphor for the abandonment of women in the modern day film industry and society at large, in Gravity. That, of course, was bolstered by a sterling performance from one-woman powerhouse and landed ten record nominations, included Best Picture, Best Actress for Bullock and Best Director for Cuaron, who won. Underrated, however, is 2006's Children of Men, a gritty dystopian thriller set in a near future where humanity has been infertile for two decades and society is on the brink of collapse. Cuaron deftly navigates a hefty plot and social commentary – can hope exist in a world where we are devoid of a biological future? Can the definitions of 'good' and 'evil' even exist in such a world? – on top of a pesudo-religious heroic journey for the film's central everyman that has its roots in Dante's Divine Comedy. And that's not even forgetting his Mexican road-trip movie Y Tu Mamá También which is both honest and explicit in its depiction of sex and drug use. Oh, and let's just end this here: the introduction to the Dementors in the Prisoner of Azkaban is more tense and horrifying than yer da's favourite horror movie. Cuaron literally turned twee little Harry Potter into a moody coming-of-age supernatural drama that every successive film in the franchise – and, tbh, every franchise that has tried and failed to fill that large Potter-sized gap in the public conscience – tried to emulate. And fell flat whilst doing so. The actual best director of the 21t century, though? We're a little sceptical on that one.
An obvious choice, we think, but one that was entirely overlooked on Metacritic's list. It's a totally fair statement that Nolan has, more than any other modern filmmaker, mastered the art of the blockbuster. His Dark Knight trilogy of films is not just – in this critic's humble opinion – the most consistent, brilliant superhero trilogy in modern cinema history, but is one of the great trifectas of cinema, full stop. Soaking up a variety of filmic influences from Hitchcock, Kubrick, Carpenter and Scorsese, Nolan taps the events of the film as a grandiose crime epic, with an ultimately un-knowable protagonist at its heart and with a bevy of supporting players (Caine, Freeman, Oldman, Ledger, Hathaway) at the top of their game. A spiritual and stylistic successor to Hitchcock, Nolan's work has spanned various genres; from non- linear neo-noir, to supernatural period drama, to sci-fi, to historical epic. With each new film, he's displayed a distinct sense of vision; one that aligns narrative and style. An auteur in the truest sense of the word, Nolan's oeuvre may be more mainstream-leaning than many of his contemporary visionaries, but he deserves every inch of adoption from both worlds of the film industry. And it also helps that his latest film, Dunkirk, is his magnum opus. But, then again, we did say that about Interstellar.
There Will Be Blood. Thank you and good night.
A strange choice, for sure, given that, at the time of writing, Dolan is 27-years-old and has yet to release his English Language debut, but in the seven years since his startling debut film, I Killed My Mother, first debuted at Cannes, Dolan has quickly established himself as the enfant terrible of the art-house world. His first five movies, whilst all varying in quality, share a dedication to emotional honesty and a stark, oftentimes bleak, outlook into those pushed into the periphery by society. Admittedly, Dolan has just gotten into his groove and his still on his way into finding his voice (and his feet), but for an emerging film-maker that has been lauded, and subsequently spat out, by Cannes before even hitting thirty, the potential for a marked greatness is there. It can be glimpsed in his own acting, in the piercing auto-biographical I Killed My Mother – the most affecting directorial debut we've seen this past decade – the similarly themed but narratively un-hinged Mommy and his most recent film, the hallucinatory It's Only The End of the World. Dolan's English-Language debut, The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, is to be released later this year and is a thoroughly star-studded affair; from Natalie Portman, Room's Jacob Trembley, Kathy Bates and Susan Sarandon among it's cast. Oh, and he's also best friends Jessica Chastain and, in terms of his honesty and sheer love of popular culture and the art of film-making, the only true Absolute Boy in Hollywood.
No, I'm just fucking with you. Sorry.
McQueen doesn't fit in with Metacritic's four film policy, but we're willing to bend the rules since the three films he has released have all been absolutely, brain-stormingly brilliant. 12 Years A Slave is, obviously, a stand-out but it's also one of those films so brutal in its honest and its harrowing portrayal of real-life events that we would struggle to actually watch it again. His two other features – Hunger and Shame – are both great star vehicles for McQueen's muse Michael Fassbender, but also function as a (yet again) harrowing and un-flinchingly bleak historical drama that unearths the depravity humans suffer through and also a, let's be honest here lads, completely uncompromising dive down into the depths of addiction and all its ups and downs. The mania, the depression, the sense of hopelessness and dependence and the suffocating feeling that you're always one step further away from salvation no matter how hard you try. McQueen specialises in films that hook you in and, no matter how deep or dark they go, will not let you look away. They may not be re-watchable, but they certainly are memorable and show a director that is, from release to release, building on his craft and strengthening his vision. And if that doesn't make you want to go and watch Shame again, McQueen's next film comes out in 2018 and stars Viola Davis as a bank robber.
We think it's fair to say there are no winners or losers here, but we also must highlight that whilst Metacritic may be a barometer for critical adoration, the reason why we get to enjoy filmmaking and its many nooks and crannies is because of the common people and the fact that they willed a new art-form into life on the strength of public demand and imagination. That still doesn't excuse many of the crimes of modern cinema, but its a reminder that no director is undeserved of praise where it's deserved.

Just a little over five months.
Wow! In just a little over five months, one of my favorite women on earth gets married. I am so happy for her. She has found her match in Neil. The wedding will be at the beginning of September and we can't wait AND the bachelorette party will be a weekend on the Tennessee River at Cassie's parents' cabin. I wanted to make a list of memories about Mandy. Actually, in just over five months, you can make that Mrs. Mandy Vogeler nee Caffey.

The kids don't know it yet
But Miss Mandy Candy Kelly and Mr. Neil are on their way over. These babies are about to lose it when they see who knocks at the door.
As you most know, I am more than happy to donate items from Brownbag Studio to things like silent auctions or for doorprizes.
Here comes Peter Cottontail, Hoppin' down the bunny trail, hippitty hoppitty, Easter's on it's way!
Today is pajama day at MDO. They will be watching a Peter Cottontail movie, having a PJ party and a special dessert. Miles wore her silky scottie dog pj's. She was precious. She also loved it when I sang the Peter Cottontail song for them last night.
Speaking of the little sneakster, she rooked me into buying her two new DVD's at the store last night. She is now the proud owner of both Barbie: Rapunzel and Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper. Good thing I got a new TV for my bedroom for Christmas. Otherwise, they would't be able to steal my TV for their room to lounge in bed, eating snacks, slipping out accidental toots and watching Barbie. Miles always says, " excuse me~ I tooted!!" Lola, well, not so much but she's trying.

Right this moment:
Lola loves crackers. She also loves cracker crumbs so that she can make an 'innocent' mess. As in, "Look at my puppy dog eyes, Mom-ma! Don't fuss at me since I am only almost two and what did you expect me to want to do with the cracker crumbs on my plate. Of course I dumped them on the couch intentionally and then took my grubby little paw and sent them swirling to oblivion. It isn't my fault you gave me crackers."

We went to an Easter egg hunt on Sunday at our friend Shea's house. It was super fun and the kids had a total ball playing in the leaves after scarfing down some candy. Shea had a delicious cake, as she always does.
Later she told Aunt Dinky that the Easter bunny "was wearin' a bunny costume!!"
Then, today, the Easter Bunny came to Milesy's MDO program. They had an egg hunt followed by a surprise appearance by the big bunny! I asked Miles about it later...
Miles: Momma, da Easta Bunny came to my class today!!!!
Me: Wow, Milesy! That is awesome! I have never to seen the Easter bunny in person!! What did he look like.
Miles: Ahhhhm. He was wearing a bunny suit. And her face was painted like a bunny and she had on bunny shoes! (She switched genders for the Easter Bunny after she thought about ti for a second.)
Me: {Laughter}
Later she told Aunt Dinky that the Easter bunny "was wearin' a bunny costume!!"

I know that My dad has to have gotten this one started. Lola has just really learned how to speak out loud so much more over the past two weeks.

I don't have a kidney stone. The CT scan showed inflammed tissue in my side/back.
Thursday, March 6, 2008
This can't be for real, can it?
Last week I had a bad cold. Then on Wednesday of last week, I started having severe back pain on the left side. I thought I had pulled a muscle carrying Miles upstairs. Apparently, there is a good chance that i did not, in fact, do that. it now appears that I have kidney stones. Nice! I have a cat scan tomorrow to find out for sure. The pain has gotten worse and worse, to the point that I now can't sit still for long bc my back starts howling in pain. The doctor said my area of pain is a little high for a kidney stone but based on my description of the problem and some tests, I probably have kidney stones. Pray I don't have to have surgery! As you may know, I actually like having surgery. I know. I know. I am a freak of nature. However, I don't want to have surgery right now. He said if it gets to where I am still in pain after taking two (2!) vicodons, go to ER. Nice.

This is the time of year when homeowners get so caught up with their home life that they accidentally neglect their actual home. Home improvement expert, Adam Helfman, has come up with the ultimate fall home maintenance checklist to help homeowners survive winter. Knock these out before that first big snowfall and we know you'll thank us later.
- Seal the cracks: Caulk is cheap, so grab some caulk and seal the cracks around windows and doors.
- Get a heat audit: Who needs an audit? You do. A heat loss audit of infrared thermography will show you exactly where your heat escapes and gives you an idea where and how you can fix it.
- Clean the vents: Get your ducts in a row! Have your vents and ductwork cleaned –-the air outside your home is actually cleaner than the air inside.
- Clean the gutters: Clogged gutters and downspouts create ice dams that can wreck a roof and fallen leaves turn to sludge after awhile.
- Check your roof: Stay on top of this one! The first sign of a leaky roof is a loss of money! Have it inspected before winter and you'll sleep easier knowing you are preventing something bigger from happening.
- Cover your pipes: Consider adding insulating pipe or "blankets" to prevent pipes being exposed to brutal cold. Let a good plumber check your whole system, it's best to be preventative when it comes to water problems.
- Furnace check up: The heat is on so get with the program! An annual furnace check up is a must. Change air filters and if you can, have a programmable thermostat installed. It's more efficient and will keep you more comfortable all winter long.
- Check the chimney: Do a clean sweep and check for bird nests and other elements in your chimney. Impediments like that can cause carbon monoxide to back up into your home. Yikes!
- Change fire alarm batteries: Get ahead of the annoying chirp and change the batteries in all smoke detectors. And if you don't have a carbon monoxide monitor, you can find them at your local home improvement store or online for a low cost.
- Clean up the yard: Dead branches gotta go! They do nothing for appearance and they can cause problems in a number of ways. Go ahead and clean and store garden tools away and get that snow blower and shovels ready.
- Close the air conditioner: Turn the air conditioner off and clean up the outside of it by pruning back bushes and give it some room to breathe.
- Inspect pathways: Walk the walk and check your driveway, stairs and pathways. While you're at it, walk the whole property for a general inspection. A few easy steps will prevent you from taking a dangerous one when it's icy.
Prevent winter from wreaking havoc on your home this year by following this ultimate fall home maintenance checklist. Now some take action and get this done this weekend!

"Western governments say they support democracy in the Middle East, but none have given any support either in word or deed to the Ahwazi people in their struggle for freedom, democracy and human rights," said British Ahwazi Friendship Society (BAFS) activist and researcher, Ali Bani Torfi, at a hearing on Iran by the Conservative Human Rights Commission.
The hearing also took evidence from representatives of Kurdish and Bahai human rights organisations as well as Amnesty International. The Commission was established in 2005 by the Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague and is chaired by Stephen Crabb MP. It also includes several Members of Parliament, some of whom were present to hear evidence from BAFS on the persecution of Ahwazi Arabs, whose homeland has been occupied and ruled from Tehran since 1925.
In his address, Mr Bani Torfi compared the treatment of Ahwazi Arabs to apartheid in South Africa, with segregation in housing, employment and education enforced by extreme state violence. He said: "Successive Iranian regimes have denied Ahwazi rights as a people and have tried to ignore the existence of the Ahwazi Arab nation, calling them 'Arab-speakers' rather than Arabs denying their ethnicity due to their policy of Persianisation. This policy has involved government confiscation of Arab-owned land and 'ethnic restructuring', which typically involves the forced migration of Arabs out of Al-Ahwaz and their replacement with 'loyal' ethnic groups, particularly ethnic Persians.
"While UN agencies and leading human rights groups have catalogued the large number atrocities against the Ahwazi people – ranging from the land confiscation programme to the illegal killings and the incarceration of children – not a single democratic government has lifted a finger to address the issue of Ahwazi rights ... It is time for a change in attitudes. It is time to listen to the voice of the Ahwazis."

Do you want to know the truth behind gun control? This film is very informative.
Jan 31 2013
2 comments on "No Guns for Negroes"
Great video, Some I knew buch much I didn't know. It does seem as though they are trying hard to disarm the black comminuty. Down Here in D.C. there have been many gun buy back programs aimed at the black inner city areas. When I see them on T.V. they always show elderly men and women turning in old rusty pistols and whatnot, the exact people who need to be protwected in the community. Out in the burbs where white kids shoot up the shcool on the regular…not a peep, no gun buybacks there. In fact they solution is to arm the teachers and bus drivers. SMH. Every buy back program I've ever heard of was aimed at disarming the black community.
As they like to say "you can pry it from my cold dead hands" LOL

How important is an author's personal experience with a topic? Is it better when an author openly declares his biases so that the reader may judge his work accordingly, or it it better if the writer attempts to disguise, however half-heartedly, his own point of view? Can one attempt to "set the record straight" without inevitably falling into new errors of over-correction and prejudice? Should a reader even attempt a book when he or she has all ready formed an opinion of the author? I grappled with these questions as much as any opinions I had of Robert Falcon Scott's competence--or lack thereof--while reading the "Race to the Pole".
It wasn't my intention to wander into the bramble-patch (or rather, in recognition of the climate, the shifting ice-floe pack) of the Scott/Amundsen controversy. Unfortunately, my audio version of "The Worst Journey in the World" dispensed with both Cherry-Garrard's own introduction and lacked either George Seaver or Caroline Alexander's foreword, but plunged directly into the narration. I grew more confused as the story went on, and I was completely befuddled when the Terra Nova finally reached the Antarctic. Where was Ross Island? What was this King Edward VII peninsula? What did Cherry mean by Shackleton's old encampment? I badly needed some good maps and a printed copy of the book, so I dashed off to the library.
I could see with a quick fan of the Carroll-Graf edition of "The Worst Journey of the World" that the book seemed to be lacking in maps and definitely didn't have any photographs--inexcusable for an expedition that had two official photographers on board--so I picked up the only other book on the shelf that dealt with the Scott expedition: Sir Ranulph Fiennes 's "Race to the Pole." I hoped that I wouldn't have to read it, but unfortunately, Seaver's foreword was quite turgid and seemed to be more interested in exploring the origins of Cherry-Garrard's name (French, by the way) than concerning itself with such mundane matters as to how and why the expedition was funded; indeed, most of it was merely a dry recounting of the book itself. There was exactly one map, in the index, alongside a listless one page glossary defining such words as "blizzard" and "ice fog."
So Sir Ranulph Fiennes it would have to be. I tried skipping to the last section of the book, but there seemed to be a great deal of ranting about Roland Huntford, the author of "The Last Place on Earth"--a book that is quite critical of Scott and his handling of his two trips to the South Pole--instead of a dispassionate account of the expedition itself. I looked at the dedication: "To the Families of the Defamed Dead". Uh-oh. Clearly, here was an Author With An Agenda. A quick Internet search revealed an author with a Byronic self-regard (with an autobiography entitled 'Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" how could one think otherwise?) and a penchant for a bit of impromptu DIY surgery in the garden shed when a clutch of frost-bitten fingers proved troublesome. I had had enough of these guys when my husband was in an F-14 squadron. Should I look for another book? Or would they all be equally one-sided? I decided to give his sir-ship another chance and started his book, properly this time, from the beginning.
Ranulph Fiennes believes the general British self-loathing, as he sees it, due to loss of empire and dwindling importance on the international stage, has made society eager to tear down symbols of a more heroic age, and Robert Falcon Scott is a primary target of this disgruntled generation. He also believes all of the great explorers made mistakes, and Scott's death, and those of his men, was more through bad luck than anything else. These are reasonable assertions; I happen to agree with them. Unfortunately, in his eagerness to debunk the debunkers, Fiennes has no compunction about twisting the facts, cherry-picking through the expeditionary diaries, and contradicting himself at every turn, as long as it is a point he is intent on making at that moment. No one else can dare make a evaluation on these matters--not just on technical concerns, but on Scott's organization abilities and judgment. Only he, the great man-hauling adventurer, knows the truth. The overall feeling is like having a very large man looming over you and poking you in the chest if you dare voice an objection.
Scott and Shackleton rivals? No, and he can sift through the diaries and prove it. Scott disorganized? Impulsive? Class-conscious? No, no, no, and he can find just the passage to make his point. First Cherry-Garrard is "unhinged" when he says something uncomplimentary about Scott; at other times Cherry's mind "was clear as a bell until the end." The thirty five pounds of scientific specimens that Scott hauled until the end? A negligible weight--though the author brags about dispensing with his own toothbrush (and why is it always the toothbrush that becomes the fetish object with these travel-lightly trekkers?) on his own man-hauling across the Antarctic. He airily dismisses one of the main complaints about Scott--that without previous planning, he decided to bring along an extra man in the final push to the Pole. Five men can easily fit into a tent made for four! He doesn't even address one of the most damning results of Scott's decision: three men went back, instead of four, from the final supply party--something you are never supposed to do, as a minimum of four people-- "two to go and two to stay"--is a fundamental rule of wilderness exploration. One of the men fell desperately ill of scurvy on the way back, and the strongest member of the party made a two day march alone, when he could have easily fallen into a crevass and died. As it was, he made it back to the main camp a mere half hour before a blizzard hit, and it was lucky they saved the other two men. Fiennes doesn't even bother mentioning the homeward journey of the three dismissed men; it would have interfered with his theory of Robert Scott as a man of infallible good judgment.
In the end, Fiennes makes the quite astonishing statement that Scott's achievement was greater than that of Amundsen's. Why? Because he did it the harder way? Because all the men of the final party died, thereby creating a legend? Cherry-Garrard himself said that there was no particular value in suffering for suffering's sake; so did Shackleton. Even the author remarks that any fool can be uncomfortable. Fiennes quotes the one member of Amundsen's team who praised Scott, conveniently forgetting that it is much like the remark of the Iron Man winner who states that the competitor who needs a day to finish the race is somehow more admirable than the victor since the trailing loser expended more energy--a comment that is more made out of pity than anything else, and is not an assessment to be taken seriously. Amundsen's accomplishments--using dogs to spare his men, reaching the South Pole first, and bringing all of his men home safely--are merely bothersome details about a man who could only win out of "deception."
All of this chest-thumping huffery is bad enough, but the last part of the book is an embarrassment to both the author and the publisher. Fiennes stoops to personal attacks upon Roland Huntford; indeed, he states that his loathing of Huntford and his book was the primary reason he wrote his own account of Scott's second expedition. He sneers at Huntford's descriptions of the Antarctic (though Elspeth Huxley, also a non-polar traveler, escapes his wrath because she agrees with Fiennes). He reveals, with a triumphal flourish, that his nemesis's last name is not even Huntford, but is, in fact, Horowitz. One might accuse Sir Ranulph Twistleton-Wykeham-Fiennes (Bart.) of classicism, if not anti-Semitism
There is no doubt that Sir Ranulph Fiennes believes himself to be a throw-back to a more glorious age, or failing that, at least the lantern-bearer for a less enlightened era. If that's the case, he represents the worst clichés of that long-ago time. Condescending. Blustering. Snobbish. Dismissive of other ideas. Whereas Cherry-Garrard represents the best aspects of his epoch: Sensitive. Classically educated. Gallant in the face of adversity.
Read Cherry's book instead.
2.5 stars (one extra star for excellent maps and photographs.) My original review can be found here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/256378657
I would like to read Sara Wheeler's biography of Cherry-Garrard; and Huntford's book as well. I would like to get at the truth, but even Fiennes admits that there is no final truth, or if indeed there is one, it lies in the grave along with Scott, Wilson and Bowers. But I can't wander around the Antarctic for the entire year, so I must go where Cherry-Garrard's memoir ends: New Zealand.

In follow-up to Sunday's message on temptation in exile, in which the interaction was phenomenal. I love wikichurch...especially on days like Sunday when I feared it would be too acadamic and "talking head."
The Scriptures are clear that "no temptation has seized us except what is common to all humans" , and that with the common temptation God will provide a (common?specific?) way out. (1 Cor 10:13-15)
But within these overall common temptations;
there are characteristic and unique temptations in different times and seasons.
If ever there was a unique time and season in church history; in Western culture--and our personal lives....
..this is that time.
We might coin such a time, season and place as
For an honest example of one of our own saints (a Celtic one) journals from exile," read some blog posts here.
On the church/culture level:
"post-Christendom is the culture that emerges as the Christian faith loses coherence within a society that has been definitively shaped by the Christian story and as the institutions that have developed to express Christian convictions are in decline." (Murray, Post-Christendom, 19).
Here we are.
On the good news of the economic crisis/opportunity/exile, read Len:
...Given the meltdown in the US economy, and the reverberations throughout the world, one wonders at our current location. This morning on CBC on the way to breakfast I caught part of an interview with Margaret Atwood on her new book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth. Margaret is a respected Canadian author who has always had a fascination with debt. It began, she relates, when she prayed the Lord's Prayer as a child. She noticed that some versions of the prayer asked for forgiveness from sin, others from debt. It turns out that this theme is common in the great faiths. What great faith could really claim to be comprehensive in human affairs that says nothing about economics in human communities?
What really caught me today, however, was how we are all in the same boat. On the one hand a millionaire may stare in the face of the credit crunch and wonder if he can access the resources he needs for his business; on the other hand those of us with ordinary mortgages wonder if they will be sustainable by 2009.
The result of all this uncertainty: fear. And that is where the resources of the Gospel become relevant.
Len Hjalmarson
How about that...wemight as well be relevant for once!
Sunday we suggested that three probable temptations of a person or church in exile are
(click underlined words for more)
- simulacra (as opposed to the "really real")
- koinonitis (as opposed to communitas)
- docetism/it's "all spiritual" (as opposed to "everything is spiritual"...see Rob Bell videos here).
Under this last category, we asked ourselve to fill in the blank with the biblical answer:
"The antichrist spirit denies that Jesus Christ is ___________"
Of course, the answer is not the usual assumed answer("divine" or "God") but:
See 1 John 2 and 4: it's all there:
"This is antichrist: denial (not that Jesus was/is God),
but that he CAME IN THE FLESH."
Any god that does not incarnate is not God.
Matter matters.
How are we seduced by the antichrist spirit or worldview, especially in exile?
Any time we in essence deny Jesus "came in the flesh" and was really/very human.
We looked at a chilling portion of Eugene Peterson's "Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places"
And we can be trained to recognize the antichrists as the men and women who tell us that Jesus wasn't human the way we are — "how could he be? He is God! ... recognize that for all their fancy talk about Christ, for all their superspiritualities, such people are just that, antichrists" ...
"The antichrist option has always been a convenient loophole for not loving actual, named people." (p.324)
(click "Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places" )
We also glanced at Mike Frost's outline in the book "Exiles"
click here to read our friend Len Hjalmarson's helpful review of this important book..
..unless you don't WANT to cultivate the four delighfully dangerous disciplines we need, if we are to resist the temptations/testations of exile:
• DANGEROUS MEMORIES reaching back to Abraham and Sarah. Israel was tempted to substitute more reasonable and respectable memories rather than embrace the ambiguity and embarrassment of such messy heroes.
• DANGEROUS CRITICISM that mocks the deadly Empire. We need two kinds of critique. First, we need an ongoing religious critique of the tamed gods of the Empire (commercialized Christianity). Second, we need the political critique of entrenched power, wherever we find it.
• DANGEROUS PROMISES that imagine a shift of power in the world. The kingdom of God will come. The poem of Isa.54:1-3 is first despairing, but then affirms a wild and outrageous hope.
• DANGEROUS SONGS that predict unexpected newness of life. We sing a new song and affirm a reality we have not fully experienced. Worship is a political statement.
(Frost, based on Bruggeman)
