5 Tips for Establishing a Consistent Prayer Life
Prayer is one of the most important pieces of developing a relationship with God. It's your time to talk to Him, thank Him and let Him know what you may need. It's a close equivalent to "date nights" in a relationship - it's your time to be more intimately connected (mentally and emotionally intimate) with God. However, much like those date nights, it may be hard to find time to get those prayers out. With all that God's done in our lives, the least we can do is talk with Him, but admittedly, sometimes it's hard to allocate time to it. Below are a few tips to get you well on your way to establishing a consistent prayer life:
1. Designate prayer time in your schedule. "Out of sight, out of mind." If you're the busy working woman whose life lies in the calendar app on your iPhone, then scheduling things is one of the only ways to guarantee you'll be there and/or do something. Adding "prayer time" to your calendar each night, will not only serve as a reminder to do it, but it'll also keep you from scheduling something else during that time.
2. Know what you want to pray about. Sometimes we're led by the spirit to pray. Other times, we're not so sure what to say. One of the best ways to make sure you stay focused on your prayer is to know what you're praying for/about. When I'm overwhelmed with life, I jot down my various prayer needs throughout the day. When I head to my room each night (for my prayer time), I already have the items I need to pray for. That way it's easier for me to get started and straight to the point. Besides, recognizing you need prayer is a great way to get you to pray.
3. Pray on-the-go. This is a little different from the traditional ideas of prayer, but in this fast-paced society, sometimes you have to get it in when you can - even if it is while you're on your way to a meeting. Turn down the noise and open up, share with Him your plans for the day and ask Him to lead you on this day. Turning a 10-minute car ride into a 10-minute chat with God will do wonders for your day. I used to talk to myself in the car (don't judge me!) until I realized that a better idea would be to talk to God instead. While it's not as intimate as my night-time or morning prayers are, it's still my time to connect with God on a more personal level - outside of thanking Him and asking for things. I tell Him what I hope to accomplish in the day, I tell Him what type of mood I'm going for the day and I even tell Him what workout I hope to do. God desires that type of connection, and being on-the-go helps me talk to Him outside of a "spiritual voice".
4. Create a routine. Much like your morning routine - when you get up, brush your teeth, comb your hair, then pee (in that order!) - creating a prayer routine will certainly get you well on your way to a flourishing prayer life. You'll follow this routine day in and day out, because the structure helps you flow better, and adding prayer into your routine will ensure that it actually gets done. Before I even think to get out of bed, I say my morning prayer, then again when I get in the car. At night, I start my prayers during the time I use to lock up my apartment and cut off all the lights. That way when I get in the bed and turn on my night-time shows, I don't get too consumed to forget. My routine not only helps me remember, but it ensures that I never miss a beat...or a prayer!
5. Make it a habit. It takes 19-21 days of repetitive behavior to make that behavior a habit. Designate prayer time in your schedule, jot down your prayer list and follow your prayer routine for the next 19-21 days and see how easy it is to keep going. You'll get to a point where it won't even be a second thought, you'll just start doing it. I've gotten so habitual with my prayer, that now I don't only pray in the morning and at night, but I pray when the thought of someone randomly crosses my mind, I pray when my emotions are about to go haywire and I pray when I feel a change in my spirit. I even pray over my apartment when people come and go. Y'all aren't gonna drop off any bad energy in my living room and let it stay. Nope! Seriously though, the act of praying gets much easier and becomes second nature once you make it a habit. And that's the goal - talk to God as frequently as you talk to your other loved ones. He certainly deserves it.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
More than a year ago, Dr. Paul Bueno de Mesquito and his wife, Kay Johnson, both professors at the University of Rhode Island gifted me with a beautiful plant at the end of the school year. I don't have my grandmother's knowledge of botany but it was three plants potted together in a beautiful array of green love. Many months and one crazy winter inside later, the coiffed, perfect plant is no more and instead, it has grown together in a single quest for the sun. It has been hanging on our porch in Boston all summer, though, and it brings me incredible joy as I walk up the steps each night.
Each Friday during the school year, Dr. Paul and Mrs. Kay arrive in Central Falls around 9am after their one-hour drive from Kingston. They walk in with a gaggle of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Rhode Island and ever-present smiles. Together, with their students, they Teach Peace through the Second Step program. Utilizing puppets with the apt names, 'Puppy,' 'Bunny' and my personal favorite, 'Slow Down Snail,' they intentionally teach our little ones Social Skills; such as, what it means to say 'I'm Sorry'. They also teach the children how to use: Eyes Watching, Ears listening, Body Still, Voice Quiet. (School rules that bind our early learning community together.) Dr. Paul and Mrs. Kay also periodically gift parents with the Second Step Parenting Workshops and overall guidance as Master Educators to all in our professional community. They are just two of the many volunteers who support our early learning community. They and the Second Step program help us to gift the children, and you parents, with a framework that provides the foundation of safety for our classroom communities. On these building blocks, we work together with you and your family to help your child to fall in love with learning. As you know, this year, we hope to teach your Kindergartner to read fluently and your preschooler to not only learn their name and the letters in their name but as many letters and sounds as possible.
The plant hanging on our porch looks a little bit unruly right now. It is truly 'beauty' that no one could have planned but happened because of love, water and direct access to the sun. It reminds me of the true 'beauty' that happens here when the teachers, staff and I work together with you ~ our parents and volunteers like Dr. Paul and Mrs. Kay; the possibility is limitless.

The ECAB decisions for the month of October have been posted and I noticed something of concern.
Not all that long ago, some of the judges at the ECAB changed.
When the ECAB issues a decision they either affirm OWCP's decision which means they agree with OWCP and agree that the decision OWCP issued was correct. In other words, the claimant has lost their ECAB appeal.
They can remand OWCP's decision which means that something was wrong with OWCP's decision and the Board is sending it back to OWCP to correct whatever it is that the Board determined was wrong. Once OWCP has done that, OWCP issues a new decision.
A case can be remanded back to OWCP for a lot of different reasons such as OWCP didn't consider all the evidence, there's an outstanding medical conflict, a claimant has multiple claims that weren't combined, the case requires further development, etc... With a remand, the claimant hasn't lost, but hasn't won yet either because OWCP will be issuing a new decision.
Or the ECAB can reverse OWCP's decision. This means OWCP's decision was not correct or was inaccurate and the Board reverses it. This is a full-blown win for the claimant.
138 decisions are posted for October 2015. Of those, 27 were remanded back to OWCP. 111 were affirmed and ZERO were reversed.
Only 27 of the 138 were remanded and none were reversed. 111 were affirmed which is a pretty high percentage. Not a single claimant won their appeal in front of the ECAB in October. Not one.
I've been doing this a long time and I have never seen a month of ECAB decisions where there wasn't at least one reversal. I find this extremely concerning since this means the ECAB didn't find a single case where OWCP issued an inaccurate decision and I find that very hard to believe.

I too have noticed the changes in the admin law judges and the shift in opinions. In two of my own appeals, I cited congressional intent that the FECA be construed liberally in favor of the claimant and provided cites to U.S. Supreme Court decisions as well as ECAB to this effect; however, as they came from a claimant, they carried no weight.ReplyDelete

I used to think that buying a new car was a difficult process, fraught with all kinds of buying criteria and price related compromises. Then I discovered the world of the baby conveyance device.
Isn't a pushchair was just something on wheels to push your Small around in? Well, it is. But only in so much as a car is a metal box with four wheels that moves you from A to B.
The car analogy is probably not the best one because I knew a little bit about cars and had formed opinions about what features were important to me. If someone had asked me to imagine my ideal car it would have sprung to mind with little thought. But I had no idea where to start with a Small buggy.
My first visit to the baby hypermarket left me stunned, firstly by the vast array of buggies available and secondly by the price tags. I am not even going to attempt to cover the options here, I do not have the space. Needless to say, a visit to the store and a couple of hours chatting to a sales assistant will start to make things clearer. What I will point out is that a quick search on a popular online store in the UK revealed buggies ranging in price from under £100 to over £1,000. If money is no restriction Silver Cross had a couple of limited edition models:
- Silver Cross Aston Martin Surf 2, £3000 [I don't think you can actually surf with it].
- Silver Cross Balmoral, £5000.
Like top end cars, the only real reason to own one of these is to show that you can. It is purely a status symbol to indicate to everyone else that you have it, whilst they do not. Of course, it is a little perverse because it is highly unlikely that someone who can afford one of these models is ever going to push it, that will be the job of the nanny. It is a bit like having a Rolls Royce that is only ever driven by the chauffeur.
Nevertheless, like cars, you can pitch in and buy the most brag worthy buggy within your price range and strut about parading it like a young peacock. After struggling about the town with a juggernaut of a tandem buggy for a year (see Calming) I persuaded my partner that we needed a more manageable twin buggy. Yes, with its 5 point safety harnesses, lie flat seat positioning, lockable front swivel wheel (with suspension), foot operated parking brakes, ergonomic soft foam handles, removable bumper bar, sponge clean seat covers, adjustable hood and massive under seat storage it was practical (I even went and measured the width of the narrowest point of the pavement on my regular route into town to prove it would fit) but the main, unvoiced, buying criteria was that it was sporty as hell. Ferrari red, with three wheels for ultimate one handed controllability, multi-adjusting seat positioning and built in cup holders, it was the doiden's bollocks.
Incidentally, remember that car I imagined at the beginning of this section? I've had to forget all about that. With a Small in tow I needed a car with a massive boot, a high ceiling for easy access and, as more Smalls arrived, pop up seats in the boot. In addition it needed roof bars and a tow bar for the roof box and trailer I needed to carry all the junk I couldn't fit in the boot. Remember that phrase about the only thing not taken was the kitchen sink? Well, we used to travel with the baby bath. Does that count?
Not so much a parenting guide full of advice, more the reality of parenting kids and being a house husband and father, written by a stay at home dad to three children.

Guest Editor Stacy Innerst: The Risk of Illustration Notes in Picture Books Manuscriptsposted 12/6/12
Stacy Innerst, today's Guest Editor, is the award-winning illustrator of picture books including The Worm Family, M Is For Music, Levi Strauss Gets a Bright Idea, Lincoln Tells a Joke: How Laughter Saved the President (and the Country), and the upcoming The Beatles: They Were Fab and They Were Funny.
Dear Natasha…
An illustrator's perspective: I prefer to have the opportunity to have an unencumbered first impression of the story, no matter how spare the text might be. You'd be amazed at how easily an artist's creative train can be derailed by having illustration notes, especially early in the process—it's like a hair in your soup, you can't forget about it.
The first reading of just words on a page, without preconceptions, is where the pictures start to germinate and the enthusiasm for the project takes hold. I can only assume that an editor would feel the same way.
I understand that with minimal text there is a temptation to sell the story by filling in the blanks, but I think if the root of the story is strong enough the pictures will come. A good illustrator will get what you're trying to evoke without too much direction.
Best wishes to you,
Stacy Innerst
The Editor wrote (on 12/06/12 at 9:24 am) :
Thank you, Stacy, for this insight into an illustrator's reaction to a manuscript. Picture book authors don't usually get direct contact with the illustrators of their books, so this peek into your creative process is valuable. It reminds me of the way the chorus of a pop song can loop in your head no matter how hard you try to silence it!
As an editor of picture books, I can attest to the desire to sink into a text unencumbered. It should be enough that the author sets up the situation in the query letter accompanying the manuscript. If there is a moment in the story that absolutely requires explanation (as opposed to a suggestion or direction), then an italicized bracketed aside in a second copy of the manuscript is a safe solution for all.
Readers, if you don't know Stacy's work, click on the links in my post and check it out. He's amazing. I have all of his books (and enjoyed the privilege of working on several) and am eagerly awaiting March 2013's The Beatles. It looks FABulous!

Have you seen Shutta Crum's MINE? The text is basically one word: Mine and the story is completely told through illustrations. Shutta is not the illustrator, though. Curious as to how they worked that out. Must have had illustrator notes.
The Editor wrote (on 12/06/12 at 2:24 pm) :
I can imagine how that developed, but I don't know for sure. I'll try to find out. In the meantime, you can watch this brief video of Patrice Barton explaining how she developed the illustrations for MINE later in the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq8ip_7nrds. I do know that when you've already got an editor, the discussions about a concept can happen when it's just that—a concept. As in "Here's my idea, and it all centers around the word 'mine.'" That sort of thing. By contrast, I remember receiving Eve Bunting's manuscript for HURRY! HURRY!, which has just a few words. There wasn't a single illustration note on it. The read-aloud rhythm was enticing, as was the situation. Jeff Mack worked with the book's editor (not me) and illustrated it with amazing energy. If you were to submit a text as incredibly spare as MINE, then your query letter will need to do lots of explaining about the concept while leaving the specific images to the illustrator to imagine. Believe me, most of the time the illustrator will pleasantly shock you with his/her clever visual storyline. It's just how those visual people think!

Shutta piping up here. MINE! has exactly 9 1/2 repetitions of one word. (And a Woof!) It was not a project outlined ahead of time with my editor. All she suggested was that I could "go younger" than an earlier book I had with them. (BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE) Obviously, I simply could not submit one page with the repeated word "Mine" down one side. No one would have any idea about what was to happen.
In this case, the plot is played out in the illustrations. And I am not an illustrator. So I wrote it as though it were a play–with beats and action, and the one word said aloud. Meaning…I had to indicate what "actions" needed to happen in the illustrations. "Child drops toys in dog's water dish." I made a conscious effort never to indicate how those illustrations should look, what else should be/not be there, etc. I tried to stick with just describing the plot through the actions of the actors.
Just thought you'd like to know. The ms was 2 1/2 pages long. I'll be presenting about this with Patrice Barton, the illustrator, at the Austin SCBWI in Feb. 2013.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp on Wednesday said Michael Andres will retire as president of McDonald's USA at the end of the year as the fast-food chain works to boost domestic sales, which have been under pressure from low prices at grocery stores.
Andres, 58, took the helm of U.S. and Canadian operations in October 2014, returning to McDonald's after serving as chief executive and chairman of the Logan's Roadhouse Inc [LORAH.UL]restaurant chain.
He will be replaced by Christopher Kempczinski, 47, who came to McDonald's last year from Kraft Foods Group [KRAFTB.UL], where he was executive vice president of growth initiatives and president of its international business.
Jeff Stratton headed McDonald's USA before Andres, and was 58 when he retired. He also held the job for about two years.

Meanwhile the Swiss vote to ban speculation
Over the last few years, the World Development Movement (WDM) has been tirelessly campaigning on food speculation and the effects it has on world food prices.
Their efforts may soon reap rewards. Key decisions around the future rules of food speculation are currently at the hands of the three European institutions.
After years of intense lobbying by WDM local group members, staff and its allies across Europe, the Europe Commission published a proposed compromise text in September 2013. While the compromise text wasn't perfect it did address some of the biggest concerns WDM had about the way speculators might be able to evade new rules.
Last week the negotiators met to discuss this proposed compromise. But no agreement could be reached because of differences between the different EU member state governments.
Specifically, the UK, in contrast to most of the other big countries such as France, Germany and Italy, disagreed with proposals to remove major loopholes.
The UK claimed that since many commodities were traded in London, it wanted its own rules rather than agreeing common EU limits which would ensure traders could not play different countries off against each other in a race to have the weakest controls on food speculation.
In addition the UK also failed to support efforts to make sure all types contracts were covered by the new rules, preferring to exempt its favourite toys – shady, bilaterally traded contracts of the type that helped contribute to the financial crisis – from limits on speculation.
WDM will be sending a letter to the financial secretary to the treasury, Sajid Javid, this week highlighting the problems with food speculation.
Switzerland votes to ban food speculation
Reuters reported on 1st October 2013 that Switzerland will be forced to take a vote on banning speculation in agricultural commodities after the Young Socialist party gained more than 100,000 signatures required for a vote to change the constitution.
The timing of the national vote was not clear and was pending official guidance from the government. But the proposal, entitled "No Speculation on Food Commodities" would affect companies with a subsidiary in Switzerland, even if their headquarters were elsewhere. It would also apply to firms investing in agricultural commodities for themselves or on behalf of clients.
The Young Socialist Party said it was concerned that "prices were moving based on factors that have nothing to do with the real market".
The Swiss direct democratic system has several referendums a year, meaning that public ire can be translated into strong action. Swiss government records showed that politicians had submitted more than twenty parliamentary requests on the commodities sector since the start of last year on topics ranging from oil-related corruption scandals in Nigeria to tax planning for commodity traders.
Stephane Graber, secretary general of industry body the Geneva Trading and Shipping Association said that he did not expect the latest proposal on food speculation to have much impact on Swiss companies.
Switzerland's Cabinet was also considering a motion for a law on transparency rules that would go beyond those in the US and EU by explicitly targeting unlisted trading houses for the first time.

As if the pervy CW execs didn't already have their hands full with starlets such as K.J. Apa and Cole Sprouse, blonde hottie Hart Denton is entering the teen sex club known as Riverdale as Betty's long-lost older brother! The premiere episode of the second season of Riverdale - which in its entirety seemed to be filmed in four days - airs tonight, and the Internet is kind of losing it over Denton. Won. Der. Why.
The twenty-four-year-old Denton has cute blonde locks and sports a model-y face that out-models all model-y faces. He's like a cross between a barely-alive CK model from the 90's and Dave Franco. Or, a barely-alive twink porn star and Mads Mikkelsen. Either way, he looks barely alive, and I am loving every second of it! In addition to cheekbones that you could open a can of tuna with, Denton gives lips for days and days and isn't about to be outdone in the eyebrow arena.
Is Denton your new number one Riverdale crush, or were you too busy trying to fit a shirtless picture of J.K. Apa pulled up on your iPhone into your butthole to even read this? Spillz!

Lamest QR Code Ever?
Photo credit: Techcrunch.com
There has been much debate over QR codes and how useful they actually are. Numerous blogs have been dedicated to this topic and some have even gone as far as to ask if the QR code is dead. Well, the folks at Facebook have decided that they aren't quite done (yet). They recently painted a 42-foot wide QR code on the roof of their new mega office complex. When scanned, the code takes users to… a fan page for the code itself. AdWeek has summed it up pretty well, saying it "perfectly mirrors some of the underwhelming aspects of QR codes themselves."
So what do we think? Is there still a use for QR codes in today's marketing world or have they just become a way of "checking the box" to show that brands are utilizing current technology?

In Arizona, we don't really get seasons. Phoenix weather is a wide swing between Satan's sweltering nether-regions and a slight chill. The only real way to indicate the passing of the seasons is with local music, wherein Phoenix's best release a cornucopia (sorry) of music come autumn (or at least that's the way it seems given this local jam roundup).
Here are a few fresh local releases to get you in the mood for turkey, cranberry sauce and... paper hand turkeys.
Mergence - "Harvest"
They seriously released a song called "Harvest" in the fall, and somehow the cheese factor totally works in their favor. The Tempe-based classic rock worshipers take on their trademark twist of Cold War Kids spunk, blues rock and social commentary.
Future Loves Past - "Earth"
From their late September self-titled EP, "Earth" lives up to its name with organic, chime-y sounds and Modest Mouse-style quirks.
Miniature Tigers - "Boomerang"
Can we still call these guys local? They're off playing huge shows like CMJ and dividing their time between New York and Los Angeles, but they got their start here. "Boomerang," technically released in late August, is off their upcoming 2012 record Mia Pharaoh. So, meeting somewhere in the middle of the two release dates, this is totally a fall song. It rekindles the Mini Tigers of yore, focusing more on catchy pop hooks than the acid-tripping adventures of Fortress.
Ladylike - "Cinema Kiss"
These guys just released their new EP by the same name November 1. The two song EP gives us a taste of the approachable, mildly anthemic pop rock perspective Ladylike does best.
Black Carl - "Become My Hallucination"
Really, when is Black Carl not releasing new music. This October release sexifies their blues rock sound as singer Emma Pew moans and groans with spooky appeal.
The Whisperlights - "Castanets"
Typically caught up in straight up rock n' roll, The Whisperlights take on a beachy perspective, soaking in the sun and watching waves crash. It kind of makes you forget we live in a land locked state.
Weird Ladies - "At the Door Step"
From their brand new EP, Each and Every One of Your Limbs, Weird Ladies certainly keep it weird with this Arctic Monkeys-inspired garage rocker.
The Through and Through Gospel Review - "I'm Not Dead, But Alive"
Joel Marquard, former Dear and the Headlights guitarist and current Gospel Claws songwriter, takes a break from his typical folk rock love to take on the world of gospel, even if he isn't religious.
