Differences in Oral Health Among Italian Adolescents Related to the Type of Secondary School Attended
Campus, Guglielmo / Cagetti, Maria Grazia / Senna, Andrea / Spano, Giovanni / Benedicenti, Stefano / Sacco, Gianluca
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible interaction between the type of secondary school attended, oral clinical data and self-perceived oral health (SPOH) behaviour among Italian adolescents. Materials and Methods: A total of 913 adolescents living in Milan (Italy), attending two different types of secondary schools, grammar and technical secondary schools, were examined regarding dental caries and gingival conditions. Oral health behaviour data were collected using an anonymous questionnaire. The presence of caries was recorded using the decayed missed filled tooth (DMFT) index, gingival conditions with community periodontal index (CPI) following World Health Organization recommendations. Stepwise logistic regression was applied to determine whether the type of school attended was associated with the clinical outcome variables and subjects SPOH and with oral health or lifestyle behaviour. Results: The prevalence of caries was 59.8% (95% CI = 41.3 to 76.8); a third of participants showed a CPI = 0, whereas 34.9% had bleeding at probing and 37.9% had calculus. Caries distribution was significantly related to the type of school attended in each score of the DMFT categorisation (P < 0.01). Experience of tooth discomfort was claimed by 23.6% of subjects from grammar schools and 35.3% from technical schools (P < 0.01). In males, CPI ≥ 1 was associated with the type of school, OR = 1.6 (95% CI = 1.1 to 2.5), the highest DMFT score and experience of self-perceived tooth discomfort, OR = 1.6 (95% CI = 1.2 to 2.0) and OR = 1.2 (95% CI = 1.4 to 2.6), respectively. In females, only CPI ≥ 1 and highest DMFT score were associated with the type of school, OR = 2.1 (95% CI = 1.3 to 3.3) and OR = 1.6 (95% CI = 1.2 to 2.0), respectively. Conclusions: The type of school is a sensitive indicator of oral health status among adolescents.

Nice Guesthouse
Inoffensive and better than the most basic in town
great shower
One of the best showers in Laos - hot, hot water and great pressure. room was clean, do not know if...
By dctravler
What we say:
Nice Guesthouse is in the eastern end of town near the cluster of hotels and restaurants that most foreigners frequent. It's incredibly popular and is often full and it's easy to see why. It's an inoffensive place located in prime position of passing tourists looking for a room. But for your money, you can do better. The rooms come with beds with clean sheets and a quilt, tiny hot water bathrooms that require you to hover around the toilet to have a shower, free WiFi and fans. When we stayed there, there were spit marks on the walls of our room which needed to be cleaned, but not all rooms had this lovely feature. The rooms at Lieupi Mixay are better and the same price, but Nice Guesthouse is still a worthy contender in town for those not wanting to stay in the absolute cheapest places.

great shower
One of the best showers in Laos - hot, hot water and great pressure. room was clean, do not know if a/c but did not need in December. Fan had room. wifi in room but staff turns off throughout the day and have to ask them to turn it back on. Staff also books tours but a bit higher than if you shop around. Note - room is cleaned daily even if you take your key with you so keep things locked up while gone.

Nice GH is really NICE!
Stayed at one of the rooms for just 80,000 Kips. It was cold during our visit therefore no fan or air-con was actually required. It's near to everything, making its location strategic. Everything I deem important is pretty good - strong shower, warm duvet, daily-cleaned room, nice staff etc. One suggestion is maybe they can have the hot drinking water system nearby the staircase too. Therefore, guests do not have to walk far to the office, and if it's too early, the door is closed.

The staff at Nice Guest House were friendy and helpful. They can arrange Jars tours. The room I had was upstairs, with a good view from the balcony. My room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was fine. Good location.

I wish I could blog a bit more regularly, but it's one of the first things to get crossed off the Big Ol' List of Time Management (more specifically, it's #3 on the list.... #1 being "sleep" and #2 being "prepare food for myself that is more substantial than three cookies"). I'm pretty sure there are all ready too many posts about cats, whiskey and stress on the Internetz, so the world won't miss mine. When this round of deadlines settle down, I'd like to start a series of posts about freelancing and the trials and joys therein (no, I refuse to use the word "winning", you jerks). Yeah. When work settles down. Yeah. I'm also considering starting a Unicorn Hatchery.
There's a lot going on over here. I'm in Paintapalooza / Illopocolypse / Artageddon / whathaveyou while I get about 48,427 paintings done for the Ex Arcana card game that I'm criminally, bashfully behind on.
Couple card illustrations so far:
I've also got a lot of confidential work going on for the toy clientele (it's that time of year again, and I've gots bills ta pay). Feast or famine tends to happen a lot in the toy industry since the product development schedule is cyclical. Two toy seasons a year - Spring and Holiday - have lulls and swells that I've spent the last few years getting used to, but they still catch me off-guard occasionally. My fingers. They cramp so. Oh, the Drawing Claw™, she be back. Yar.
I can't wait to start putting up photos of the garden again this year... I feel like this winter lasted about 9 months too long. We had way too much snow, and I saw way too much night. I'm looking forward to the feeling of a little sun on the back of my neck as I till the soil and grow some vegetables. I bought a sprouting system and some new vegetables to try out (soybeans, carrots, different types of beans). I may or may not do pumpkins again this year, due to the infuriating battle I had with aphids and powdery mildew and making sure to pollenate them at just the right time and so on.
Pumpkins are prissy goddamned reality TV stars of the garden, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I swear. They're like the Kardashian girls except swollen and orange and... well, they're like the Kardashian girls.
More later, perhaps, when I get my nightly injection of caffeine over here in the Illotorium.

Ever Wonder Where the Extreme Right's Conspiracy Theories and Paranoid Rumors Get Started? Meet WorldNetDaily
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
WorldNetDaily (WND) describes itself as "an independent news company dedicated to uncompromising journalism, seeking truth and justice and revitalizing the role of the free press as a guardian of liberty." The online newspaper, which this year celebrated its 15th year in operation, is one of the "very few sources" martial artist and action film hero Chuck Norris (who happens to be a columnist) trusts for news and an operation that megachurch pastor Greg Laurie (also a columnist) says does "a service to God and Country."
WND is the brainchild of Joseph Farah, a self-described "radical" and longtime antigovernment propagandist and apologist for the Confederacy who believes "cultural Marxists" are plotting "to transform our political system, to change the way we think, to attack our values, to demean our faith in God, to reduce that shining city on the hill to the status of a drab public-housing project."
Together with a coterie of antigovernment "Patriots," anti-gay activists, white nationalists, Muslim-bashers, conspiracy theorists, end-times prophets and ultraconservative hardliners, Farah — who did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this article — has built WND into a modest media empire including a book imprint, an online subscription-only "intelligence resource," and a glossy, full-color monthly magazine. At press time, Alexa, which ranks websites, said WND was the 1,832nd most popular website in the world and the 423rd in the U.S. — just above the site for Nickelodeon and a few notches below Victoria's Secret.
WND's point of view is best described as a cross between the now-defunct supermarket tabloid Weekly World News, which was famous for reporting on Elvis sightings, and The New American, a monthly magazine published by the far-right, conspiracist John Birch Society. In its 15 years online, it has introduced readers to a smorgasbord of bizarre ideas, specializing in anti-gay, anti-Muslim, and anti-liberal propaganda; antigovernment conspiracy theories; and end-times prophecy.
It featured a six-part series claiming (falsely) that soybean consumption causes homosexuality and promoted Scott Lively's vile opus The Pink Swastika, which says that gays were behind the Holocaust. It has identified the first "leftist" as Satan, and declared that Muslims have a "20-point plan for conquering the United States by 2020." It has warned of secret plans to create a North American Union, advised readers to invest all their assets in gold, and promoted myriad, if conflicting, theories about when and how the world will end.
Its most enduring claim, by far, is that President Obama is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president because he supposedly is not a "natural-born" U.S. citizen.
WND's stable of writers includes "birther" conspiracist Jerome Corsi; Bob Unruh, a former Associated Press reporter who once sued his fifth-grade daughter's school after it forbade her to distribute promotional materials for his wife's "vacation bible school"; black neo-secessionist Walter E. Williams, who in a 2002 WND column wrote that the Civil War was an unconstitutional exercise of "federal abuse and usurpation;" and a panoply of other far-right and ultraconservative voices.
The online paper is also a launching pad for a new generation of extremists. Kevin DeAnna, founder of the white nationalist student group Youth for Western Civilization, was recently hired as marketing coordinator. DeAnna, 29, also has written articles for WND — including one that asserted that Earth Day falls on April 22 in order to honor Lenin's birthday. Another young pundit who benefits from WND's patronage is Jason "Molotov" Mitchell, 33, a self-declared "Christian Supremacist" who wants his co-religionists to reject "effeminized American Christianity" and start "advancing the Kingdom on earth."
Farah shares those sentiments. "I don't think the Scriptures teach us to passively wait for God to take care of the world. We are taught to occupy until he comes," he wrote in his 2003 book, Taking America Back. "Don't you think He wants us to reestablish the promises of America — one nation under God born of a creed?"

This month marks the five-year anniversary of GamesRadar. To celebrate, we're digging up our oldest, favorite-est features – most of which posted before the website even had comments – and giving them a second chance to shine. Enjoy this priceless piece of gamz jarnlism history, and expect a "new" classic every few days through March.
We love silly humour, so it's no surprise that The Naked Gun (and Police Squad, the series it spawned from) is one of our favourite series. And, of course, we love the 'police car drives through sillier and sillier locations' opening sequence - lovingly lampooned by shows like Family Guy or the Red Rock Cider ads.
Which is why we decided to do our own videogame homage to the skit, using Grand Theft Auto IV. So here's our Naked Gun intro sequence, GTA IV style...
Originally posted 06 Jun, 2008
A little more about this video, mainly because it's GamesRadar's most-viewed custom video from the past 5 years (and also scored some YouTube ripper some 290,000 hits for free). I had the idea for the video while using the on-board camera, thinking how similar the bonnet cam looked to that classic intro, and I still remember pitching it at the morning meeting.
I wish I still had the original video files to give you a true HD version, but I've re-uploaded the original master in our new player so you can see it in much higher quality.
Interesting things you probably missed:
Finally, this video was made before the tragic death of the great Leslie Nielsen. But I hope it's a fitting tribute to him.

A record-setting overnight for being busy
Breaking story after breaking story after breaking story.
Following a couple of weeks of quiet overnight shifts as far as news goes, there were not enough minutes in the shift to cover everything that occurred this morning. While staying busy always makes the night go faster, things were breaking so fast that one could never catch up, which gets a little frustrating after a bit.
The most serious of the incidents was a fatal crash involving a motorcycle. It occurred at midnight at the intersection of State Street and Allen Street in downtown Rochester. The motorcycle operator, a 26-year-old male, died from his injuries after his bike hit a SUV that was attempting to make a left turn onto the Inner Loop entrance ramp.
It was obvious the crash was a serious one when I arrived on scene, which was just a few blocks from the newspaper building. The motorcycle was lying in the middle of the intersection, with a black helmet on the roadway, not too far from the bike. The ambulance was still on scene, but left with lights flashing and sirens blaring after a few minutes.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Curt Yeomans
With a new year right around the corner, the staff of the Clayton County Public Library System's headquarters branch is extending an invitation to local teenagers to come by the library next week to learn how to "Get Ripped!"
The library branch, which is located at 865 Battle Creek Road, in Jonesboro, will host a "Get Ripped! Teen Fitness Challenge" on Monday, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., in which physical activity, and healthy eating habits will be promoted.
There will be an endurance test, where teens can show their peers how many pushups and crunches they can do, as well as fitness-themed games for the youths to play. All of the teens are being asked by library officials to bring a towel with them, to sit on during floor exercises, library Youth Services Assistant Sherry Thomas said.
"I'm really concerned about the youth, and obesity rates," Thomas said. "The youth are our future. If you bring up a generation of unhealthy people, they're going to grow up to make unhealthy decisions."
There is still plenty of space left for local teenagers to sign up for the fitness challenge, according to Thomas. She said there is space for 25 people to participate in the challenge, but only "one or two" teenagers had signed up by Monday. There is no registration fee to participate in the challenge, she said.
Teenagers have until 1:59 p.m., on Monday, to sign up for the challenge, according to Thomas. The only days when teenagers will not be able to sign up for the event are this Thursday and Friday, when the library system is closed for Christmas.
"It can be hard to get teenagers to come to the library for a program," Thomas said. "They usually only come to the library if they are working on a project, or they want to use the Internet. We're trying to come up with ways to get them to come to the libraries more often."
Thomas said the teens will talk about nutrition for the first 30 minutes of the program, and then do an endurance test, which consists of pushups and 20 minutes of abdominal exercises.
She said the teens will play games, such as tug of war, and chair sitting, where the youths will lean against a wall and squat into the same position their bodies would be in if they were sitting in a chair. The youths will also do "Hip-Hop Hops" where a stick is attached to two traffic cones, and the teens have to repeatedly jump back and forth over the stick, according to Thomas.
The youth services assistant said she pulled from her personal-training experiences as a private in the U.S. Army, from 2002 to 2005, to put together the program for the fitness challenge.
One of the traditions of starting a new year is to make a resolution to do something healthy in the new year, such as getting fit and losing weight. And as 2010 is set to begin, teenagers can look back over the last 30 years and see their age group getting weightier as the decades have rolled on.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's web site, the obesity rate for children between the ages of 12 and 19 more than tripled between 1980 and 2006. Five percent of teenagers in America were obese in 1980, compared to 17.6 percent in 2006, according to the web site.
The CDC's web site also reports that only 54 percent of high school students attended physical education classes in 2007. Broken down by grade level, the CDC reports that 40 percent of high school freshmen attended physical education classes daily during that time period, while only 24 percent of high school seniors did the same thing.
"How healthy you are can affect how successful you are, because if you're not healthy, you won't be as productive in life," Thomas said.
Thomas said a simple New Year's resolution is not what she is seeking from the students, because people do not always stick with those promises.
"They shouldn't make it a resolution, it's designed to promote a lifestyle," Thomas said. "If I can prepare them mentally, by talking to them about the benefits of exercise and eating healthy foods, hopefully it will become a a lifestyle and not just something they say they are going to do."
To sign up for the class, interested persons can call the headquarters branch of the library system at (770) 473-3850.

Holiday Craft: How to Make Valentine's Day Candy Jars
Valentine's Day has some of the best candy, wouldn't you agree? For me, Valentine's wouldn't be Valentine's without conversation hearts. I love to put these little goodies out in a dish during this holiday so everyone can grab a handful and read the message on their heart. This year, I decided to make some cute jars to put on my counter to show off some of my treats. I purchased a kit for this project at The Wood Connection so I wouldn't have to go hunting for all the items separately. If you prefer to customize your project, go for it. Any craft store would carry wooden candle sticks, bases, and glass jars. Here is a quick tutorial to help you create the project.
How to Make Valentine's Day Candy Jars
- Black craft paint
- Paint brush
- Wooden candlesticks (2)
- Wooden bases (4)
- Small knob (2)
- Gorilla Glue
- Glossy spray finish
- Various sizes and styles of ribbons (4 different patterns)
- Paint your candle sticks and bases with the black paint.
- When dry, spray them with glossy finish.
- Glue the candle sticks to the bases with Gorilla Glue. Wait for the stands to dry completely before gluing the glass to the stands.
- When everything has dried, place the ribbon around the top portion of your glass jar.
- Put candy or objects in the jar.
If you decided to tie the ribbon on the glass jar instead of gluing it, you could change the color of ribbon for different holidays.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a F****d-Up Air Conditioner Spot from Argentina
As the chilly pangs of winter draw nigh, it's a great time to remember that, hey, if you were living in South America right now, it would now be summer. It's because hemispheres and weather patterns and poles and the Earth's rotation and other things I don't quite understand, but the southern hemisphere experiences opposite weather patterns that we have up north. This is why there is an air conditioner ad in your AgencySpy this morning.
This spot for BGH comes from Del Campo Saatchi & Saatchi Argentina. The concept evolves around a creepy voyeuristic shut-in being the personification of an air conditioner. As things end up taking a pretty bad turn around the 45-second mark, it's hard not to reflect on two things: 1. This spot would never run in the U.S. and 2. Your own demented broadcast concepts will never be made unless you leave the country.
So, as you give thanks this holiday weekend, remember that your life would be so much better in you were in Argentina. Then laugh, because we all know that's not true. I mean, football, AMIRITE? Credits after the jump.

Definitions for eagle ray
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word eagle ray
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
ea′gle ray`(n.)
any of several rays of the family Myliobatidae, found in tropical seas and noted for the soaring movements by which they propel themselves through the water.
Category: Ichthyology
Origin of eagle ray:
Princeton's WordNet
eagle ray(noun)
powerful free-swimming tropical ray noted for `soaring' by flapping winglike fins; usually harmless but has venomous tissue near base of the tail as in stingrays
Eagle ray
The eagle rays are a group of cartilaginous fishes in the family Myliobatidae, consisting mostly of large species living in the open ocean rather than on the sea bottom. Eagle rays feed on mollusks and crustaceans, crushing their shells with their flattened teeth, while devil and manta rays filter plankton from the water. They are excellent swimmers and are able to breach the water up to several metres above the surface. Compared with other rays, they have long tails, and well-defined rhomboidal bodies. They are ovoviviparous, giving birth to up to six young at a time. They range from 48 centimetres to 9.1 metres in length.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Police Chief Floyd Simpson is speaking-up about the high number of hit and runs in Corpus Christi. He's asking resident to be more careful to help reverse the deadly trend.
"We're imploring, begging, pleading the community to stop it. Just stop it," said Chief Simpson.
In the past year, Police Chief Floyd Simpson, says there have been 1,026 hit and runs in Corpus Christi. 100 of those hit and runs involved people on foot or riding bicycles. Officers says 14 people have died as a result of hit and run drivers this year.
"We've already lost... lives to drivers who are plowing people over, not stopping to render aid, texting," said Chief Simpson.
Chief Simpson says this has to stop. Last year, our city had 981 hit and runs, and the number has only increased.
"It's a number that certainly we as a community should not be proud of," said Chief Simpson.
So the Chief and council members say they want to put an end to this.
"The status quo isn't good enough. We're committed to doing something profound to try and improve upon this problem," said Council Member Mark Scott.
The city has already put up warning signs for drivers reminding them to be aware of pedestrians on the road. If the signs don't work the council says they will look into creating a distracted driver's ordinance. That would allow officers to ticket people who are not paying attention while driving.

"When he came to my house, he was alive," says East Grand Rapids, Michigan resident Stephen Bolick of his son, Matthew. "When he came out, he was dead."
Matthew, an emotionally troubled 30-year-old, died after being lethally "protected and served" by the local police. During what appeared to be a breakdown of some kind on November 16, Matthew injured himself by crashing through a ground-floor picture window. Desperate for help, Stephen called the police, telling them "I need help getting this kid to a hospital."
According to the official account, after two "veteran" officers showed up, Matthew — who stood 5'6″ tall and weighed all of 135 pounds — "assaulted" one of them. The officer responded by shooting Matthew with a Taser. Several additional Taser charges later, Matthew was dead. His was the second Taser-related death to take place at the hands of East Rapids Police since the department received their new torture toys last January.
"The initial 911 call was for help, not an arrest and certainly not for the use of Tasers," laments Matthew's bereaved father.
The loss of a child of any age is easily the worst thing that can ever happen to a parent. May God comfort Stephen Bolick and the rest of Matthew's family — and may He give the rest of us the wisdom to understand that it is never a good idea to seek "help" from armed State agents clothed with the supposed authority to kill and trained to see the rest of us as the enemy.9:42 am on November 18, 2009 Email William Norman Grigg

Missional Priority: To Seek and Save the Lost
This post is a much belated entry in the Prologue to Missional Discussion Synchroblog.
I think I am three weeks late answering this question, but the powers that be have not emailed any since then, so maybe I'm golden.
Here are the questions for this round of the synchroblog: Is there a "primary" concern in the mission of God? Is that evangelism, making disciples, societal transformation, or something else? Or, are they of equal value?
I believe there is a primary concern in God's mission, and that is for persons to know him relationally, to be personally forgiven of their sins and be reconciled to him. The question behind the question is really this: Which is more primary, the gospel of personal salvation or the gospel of the kingdom? This sort of presupposes these are separate concepts. I do believe they are not the same thing, but disagree (with qualifications) that they are separate. Clear as mud, I know.
I believe the gospel, as Tim Keller says, is both one and more than that. But you cannot properly receive and enjoy the "more than that" without the "one." This is to say that the gospel of the kingdom (which some try to say was Jesus' gospel) and the gospel of justification by faith (which some say is Paul's gospel, as if ne'er the twain shall meet) are degrees of magnification of the whole. This is something I explore a bit more fully in my current book in progress, so I don't want to …
Cursed be the Cheat, But Blessed be the Name
God through Malachi comes to the end of a series of rebukes of the priests of Israel (for offering polluted and blemished sacrifices) and says this:
Cursed be the cheat who has a male in his flock, and vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts, and my name will be feared among the nations.– Malachi 1:14
This is a curse you and I bear. We are — every one of us — cheats. Hucksters. Phonies. Charlatans. Hypocrites. We go through the religious motions, we muddle through. We soak in lukewarmness. We vow our best to God and then give him half our heart (or less). And truth be told, there is not a single one of us whose best would not be blemished anyhow, total depravity being what it is.
So there we have it. We sinful, scheming cheats are under a curse. And God, as R.C. Sproul says, "will not negotiate his holiness."
But he will have his glory one way or another. That is not up for debate. His name "will be feared among the nations." He has predetermined this, and our sin, though great and total, is not some kind of kryptonite for God's plans for his own fame. His glory will cover the earth like the waters cover the seas. That's a promise.
So what to do? Nothing we can do. Just be cursed cheats, I s'pose. Something must give, though. God won't negotiate the price …
Winsome to Win Some
The gospel is the most compelling, the most fascinating, the most incomprehensibly wonderful news ever. So how come we don't preach or teach or talk like it is?
Fog-and-lasers churches don't trust that the good news is compelling. Sturm und drang churches don't act like it is.
It is true that the cross is an offense, a stumbling block, "foolishness." And it is true that attractional-ism is an imbalanced mode of ministry.
But gospel-driven churches ought to be attractive. They ought to radiate joy. Their preachers should be self-deprecating, winsome, and visibly moved by the power of the gospel. If we truly believe the good news is that good, why don't we make it sound like it is? Why do we sound bored? Angry? Disinterested? Or why do we seem excited about and interested in all sorts things other than the gospel?
This is not about tickling ears. It's about speaking and living as if we feel that the gospel is true.
Dudes, Your Wife is Not a Blunt Instrument
I am hearing more and more of husbands who are not tending well to their wives' hearts. This occurs in the form of "using" their wives for ministry ends and business ends and family ends.
Some church planters and pastors will wield their wives like instruments in building the ministry or furthering the cause.
Some husbands will use up their wives for the cause of a "well-run family" or a "well-ordered home."
Gentlemen, are you doing this? Are you spending your wife to gain a ministry? That is marital suicide. Your primary ministry is to your wife.
Are you spending your wife to gain your children? That is a lose-lose enterprise, because you will lose your wife's heart and still not gain your children's (because they will see how you treat their mama).
The best thing you can do for your ministry and your kids is love your wife gently, tenderly, honorably, affectionately, wisely, romantically, and — above all – Christly.

#1 Francis Chan is leaving the pastorate. Or at least, he's leaving his current pastorate. Check out the video interview with Catalyst here. He says, "I'd love to be obscure again." What an anomaly in the celebrity pastor world.
#2 On a related note, you can now watch the Band of Bloggers presentations on "Gospel Fidelity and Internet Idolatry" at Tim Brister's blog. My bit was on incarnating integrity and blogging gospel exultation. The feedback was great, and I was grateful for all the hard work Tim, the Sojourn crew, Owen Strachan, and other volunteers put into making it all come together.
#3 One of the attendees, though, who received a copy of the leader kit for my new book Abide wrote me this past weekend to complain about the warmed-over Catholic mysticism and New Age spirituality in the book. I was perplexed. Some of the stuff he put in quotation marks in his email aren't even actual phrases from the book. The other things he seemed concerned about didn't sound familiar as something I'd write. As I pressed deeper, I realized he was objecting to some of the language used in the exercise sections of the book, which weren't written by me, but by Threads editors. Still, my name is on the book, so I am responsible for all that's in it, I know. Some of the stuff recommended seems kinda frou-frou to me, but I don't see how one could get "New Age spirituality" from it. The …
Your Private Life Gives Public Witness
A word of warning for the thousands entering Louisville next week for the Together 4 the Gospel Conference: what you do in the privacy of your hotel room can be a witness against the gospel. Think this is unwarranted?
From Steve Farrar's Finishing Strong:
A number of years ago a national conference for church youth directors was held at a major hotel in a city in the mid-west. Youth pastors by the hundreds flooded into that hotel and took nearly every room. At the conclusion of the conference, the hotel manager told the conference administrator that the number of guests who tuned into the adult movie channel broke the previous record, far and away outdoing any other convention in the history of the hotel.
My friend Justin Holcomb, who is a sociologist, an author, a pastor at Mars Hill Seattle, director of Mosaic Peace, and the academic dean of Re:Train helped me in looking into this phenomenon, recalling from his own research in an email to me:
I interviewed hotel managers about this when I was teaching in the sociology department at Univ of Virginia. All managers said that porn rates increase during conferences in general. That's normal because they have more guests. A few admitted that it seems to be the same or a bit more when Christian conferences come to town. One manager was a Christian and he said a line I'll never forget: "Unfortunately, 'they know you are Christians by your…porn consumption' is more truthful than 'love' when it …
The Fantastic Remembrance and Anticipation of the Gospel
Sermon this Sunday is on Malachi 1:1-5. So much meat in just those 5 verses — stuff on election, God's love, God's wrath, his sovereignty over calamities, etc. — but the thing I see framing it all is a two-part power of the gospel proclamation that is there. Here is the passage, with the gospel proclamation(s) in bold:
1The oracle of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. 2 "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have you loved us?" "Is not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob 3but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert." 4If Edom says, "We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of hosts says, "They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called 'the wicked country,' and 'the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.'" 5 Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, "Great is the LORD beyond the border of Israel!"
There is past tense and then future tense. There is "I have loved you" and there is "Your own eyes shall see . . ."
God through Malachi is addressing a half-hearted, spiritually corrupt covenant community. They have predicated their polluted religion on all that God is not presently doing. They are struggling financially and politically. They are muddling through while their enemies seem to prosper.
And God doesn't say, …

#1 One of the BHT fellows said it best: "It sucks there won't be any more new iMonk." I would have loved to read his take on the Piper/Warren controversy. Although I'm sure I could guess what he'd have said, it's not the same as actually reading him saying it.
#2 I'm really looking forward to T4G next week. The refreshment of live gospel preaching is something I need for ministry and just my general well-being. Also looking forward to reconnecting with some friends at the Band of Bloggers event and beyond, and of course meeting some for the first time face to face.
#3 Band of Bloggers and T4G may be sold out, but if you're a student minister or youth worker, The Calling May 8 is still open. It's in beautiful Maine. All registrants get a free copy of my new book Abide.
#4 The wife flies in tonight for her last temporary visit until permanent move in May. To say I'm looking forward to being with her is an understatement. The last 9 months have been some of the hardest of our lives, but because God is sovereign and sweet, they have been a blessing in some surprising ways. I think as they've "watched" us be apart in this time, the people of our church here have developed a deeper affection for both of us.

Rewarded: Michael Spencer
Our friend the Internet Monk passed away last night. This whole thing happened too fast.
Michael was a maddening, wonderful, special man. In a vast sea of bloggers, Michael was a writer.
I will write more later. Just don't have the whatever to do it now.
Please pray for his wife Denise, son Clay and his wife, and daughter Noel and her husband.
We love you, Michael. I am glad for you that you are someplace realer.
Literally, Bodily, Historically, Factually, Supernaturally, Gloriously
The late John Updike, perhaps the last truly great American novelist, wrote one of my favorite poems about the Easter event:
By John Updike
Make no mistake: if He rose at allit was as His body;if the cells' dissolution did not reverse, the moleculesreknit, the amino acids rekindle,the Church will fall.
It was not as the flowers,each soft Spring recurrent;it was not as His Spirit in the mouths and fuddledeyes of the eleven apostles;it was as His Flesh: ours.
The same hinged thumbs and toes,the same valved heartthat — pierced — died, withered, paused, and thenregathered out of enduring Mightnew strength to enclose.
Let us not mock God with metaphor,analogy, sidestepping transcendence;making of the event a parable, a sign painted in thefaded credulity of earlier ages:let us walk through the door.
The stone is rolled back, not papier-mache,not a stone in a story,but the vast rock of materiality that in the slowgrinding of time will eclipse for each of usthe wide light of day.
And if we will have an angel at the tomb,make it a real angel,weighty with Max Planck's quanta, vivid with hair,opaque in the dawn light, robed in real linenspun on a definite loom.
Let us not seek to make it less monstrous,for our own convenience, our own sense of beauty,lest, awakened in one unthinkable hour, we areembarrassed by the miracle,and crushed by remonstrance.

Pileup On A Snowy Highway: Who Pays?
How do you sort out responsibility in a 103-car pileup? Very carefully.
While massive pileups don't happen frequently, clearing the roads can take hours, investigations can take weeks, insurance claims checks may not arrive for months, and lawsuits can drag on for years.
A truly massive pileup can stretch for miles and involve hundreds of vehicles.
A few examples:
- A January pileup in Ohio on Interstate 275 involved 103 vehicles and about 200 people. There were 27 injuries and one death. A freak snowstorm dropped visibility to zero and glazed the road over with ice.
- One of the largest pile-ups in history took place on one of the fastest roads in the world. Heavy rain was blamed for the 259-car pileup in 2009 on the A2 Autobahn in Germany. A total of 66 people were injured but luckily no one was killed.
- Heavy fog in Texas resulted in 140-car pileup on Thanksgiving Day 2012. Two people were killed and 80 were injured. The initial crash started on the eastbound side of the highway, which led to a chain reaction of crashes on both the eastbound and westbound lanes.
How they happen and who's to blameDrunk drivers, red-light runners and speeders often cause smaller pileups by starting a chain reaction when they plow into a car in front of them. Assessing blame in these types of accidents is usually pretty straightforward, experts say. In the case of really big pileups, weather is usually a contributing factor. Even if the police are not able to pinpoint the exact cause of a pileup, drivers may still end up with a ticket. Lt. Chris Miller of the Florida Highway Patrol, who investigated a 47-car crash on Interstate 75 last October, says that while weather is often a contributing factor, the driver is responsible for adjusting his speed and the gap between the cars. Nineteen drivers were cited in the October crash. Colerain Township, Ohio, traffic investigation specialist Mark Meyers says the police report on the 103-vehicle pileup in Ohio will take weeks to compile and run to 700 pages. Despite all of the time spent on the investigation, Meyers doesn't believe they will be able to determine which vehicle started the chain reaction, and the report will not show fault.

Dudes and Dudettes…since I watched this yesterday I wanted to share this with you and see what you think of good ol' Carlos Gutierrez, another RINO via my viewfinder in life. I also heard him on the Washington Journal earlier in the morning, he took calls from many…let me tell you, he had steam coming from my ears. Why in the world Romney would have him as an adviser is beyond me. As far as I'm concerned Romney made a horrible choice….but that's just me. If people like this think what they've got planned in the future is going to bring one more vote to our side of the aisle…they're smokin' something funny! – People like Carlos are the problem…NOT the solution!
Here's one report. – This is via Mediaite:
Candy Crowley took a look at the Latino vote on this week's State of the Union. Noting how strongly the president performed among Hispanic voters, she observed how Mitt Romney's winning only 27 percent of the Latino vote is "worrisome" for the party and "close to hurtful" for Hispanic Republicans. Carlos Gutierrez, who led the Romney campaign's Hispanic outreach, was invited to respond. And he wasn't pleased.
Gutierrez noted that Republicans who believe in comprehensive immigration reform are creating a super PAC to tackle the issue. It's "something that can have real influence on the outcome of elections," he said.
Inevitably, Gutierrez was asked to respond to Romney's "gifts" remark, wherein the former presidential hopeful asserted that the president won re-election due to the "gifts" he have to key demographic blocs. (Namely, minorities and young voters.)
"I was shocked," he said. "I was shocked, and frankly I don't think that's why the Republicans lost the election…I think we lost the election because the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it doesn't belong. We are the party of growth, of prosperity, of tolerance."
"You would admit, though, that your candidate said a lot of things seen as anti-Latino," Crowley followed up. "You yourself said that they fear the Republican Party, and he was the head of it."
"And that is true, and, you know, the unfortunate part and we were just talking about this, I don't know if he understood that he was saying something that was insulting," Gutierrez said. "The language, the attitude, the body language, that's what Latinos watch."

Just what we need, another expert to tell us how to be more "Dem Lite". Pardon me while I puke.+3
Guitierrez has been below my radar. But I'll look into him.
In the meantime, Texas's new Senator Ted Cruz is a sharp guy.+4
Carlos looks like the Grim Reaper is on his tail!+2
"I think we lost the election because the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it doesn't belong. "
Or because the obamabots cheated. Or something like that.+7
This "latino outreach," "comprehensive immigration reform," "your candidate said a lot of things seen as anti-Latino," stuff is a bunch of crap. It all boils down to "give free rides to criminal wetbacks and give us money to breed large families on the taxpayers' dime or we won't vote for you." Varmints. Moochers. Insect culture. Ted Nugent was right.+7
Yeah, and comments like that endears you to Latinos.
But it must be for the reasons that you gave that they vote thae way that they do. Yeah, that's it.0
You do know that the Dems are going to foist the non-Spanish-speaking Lah-tino Julian Castro on us in 2016. Get ready for 4 years of desperate pandering by the GOP, and unwarranted influence by guys like Gutierrez.
My question is, what will we call the new improved Republican Party…el Partez Viejo Grande, or La Razapublicanos?0
A Casual Observer — It was none other than a DEM RESEARCHER who reported that Latinos do NOT vote for candidates because of said candidates' views on amnesty, but on FREEBIES. They come here for what they can get on the backs of the American taxpayer.
Google Heather McDonald.+2
That vato has the fakest-looking gray hair I've ever seen.+1
Just one more Bush era guy that needs to disappear, his Commerce Secretary. We had a minority round table event with him at Team Nevada where the group had a lot of great ideas to offer. Funny, he never talked like this that day.+2
Cripes. Next thing you know the feds will turn Black Friday into a national holiday and Christmas will be swept into to the dustbin of history.0
Well there needs to be an image of Atlas with the GOP symbol rolling off his back.
No more compromise. The parties are over.
Tea Party 2016 all the way.
Sarah and Allen
Palin West 2016+2
Now that's my dream ticket!+1
I am the "it" demographic: Latina, unemployed, single mother, independent. (That's 3 bona fide "victim" points!) I voted for Romney. Had I been aware of this asstache, I might have just stayed home.0
