To complete our mission as the "House of Prayer for All Nations," the global culture of prayer must reconnect to an ancient word — the word Jesus promised to build. Do we even know what it is?
FREE EXCERPT PURCHASE BOOK BULK DISCOUNT GROUP STUDY GUIDE (coming soon!)
Community. Authority. Governmental Intercession
For generations, we have been taught that Jesus promised to build His "church" in Matthew 16:18, so we've dutifully tried to build the church with Him. But there's a big problem: that's not the word He used. Instead, He announced something far more potent:
"I will build My ekklesia!"
Have you ever wondered why the established church culture so often seems stuck in neutral? If Jesus gave His disciples authority and keys to bind and loose, why are so many churches either apathetic or chronically weak in prayer? The reason is because a motherlode of identity and mission separates those two words. In Ekklesia Rising, you'll learn:
- The DNA of ekklesia: how revelation produces dominion
- The "keys" Christ gives, and how to receive and use them
- Divine design: masculine authority with bridal love
- The role of the Divine Council in heaven and on earth
- The inner constitution of contending, covenantal communities
Make no mistake, Jesus will build His ekklesia. His Father's house will be a "House of Prayer for All Nations." For hundreds of years, we have been the church. The time has come to become His ruling ekklesia.
"In Ekklesia Rising, Dean Briggs offers hard-hitting, brilliant exposition to uncover the true meaning of what Jesus said He would build, along with challenging questions as to whether we have veered off course. Is our current church mindset sufficient for the binding, loosing and war which Jesus unleashed that fateful day?" — Lou Engle
Ekklesia Rising is less a book about spiritual warfare, and more a book about divine government. It is less a book about prayer, and more a book about paradigm. However, since a primary role of any nation's government is to declare war should that nation be threatened or attacked, and since prayer is central to any human/divine transaction, especially in the conflict between good and evil, this is also a book about prayer and spiritual warfare.
Get this: Jesus the lamb and human Son of God, brings salvation in mercy and grace. But Jesus, as the Christ, brings the government of God to the earth.
At present, gates of death cover the earth, but the final, total, visible rulership of Jesus over planet Earth means there is a "a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in Him" (Eph. 1:10, MSG). When Scripture culminates with John's mind-bending "Revelation of Jesus Christ," it is not merely some bizarre map of past and future events, but rather it is entirely about the rule and reign of Jesus.
Are we consumed with this? If not, why not? Do you have any idea the authority in prayer which Jesus delegated to his ekklesia? Or do you wrongly assume that the rule of Christ is predestined with no involvement from us? If so, this book will change your mind.

Pfizer has to pay the government $2.3 billion for a series of drug marketing suits, including marketing the painkiller Bextra "with intent to…mislead the public," a felony violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. FindLaw has more:
(T)he criminal charges against Pfizer come from "off-label" marketing of…Bextra, an anti-inflammatory which Pfizer yanked from the shelves in 2005. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Pfizer marketed the drug for a variety of uses which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically refused to approve due to safety concerns.
The criminal fine against Pfizer is $1.195 billion, with another $105 million to be paid by its subsidiary Pharmacia & Upjohn Company Inc. Whistleblower suits filed in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Kentucky triggered the federal investigation.
According to the DOJ, the size of Pfizer's fine came in part because of the company's duplicitous dealings with federal prosecutors. As one US attorney put it, "Pfizer violated the law over an extensive time period. Furthermore, at the very same time Pfizer was in our office negotiating and resolving the allegations of criminal conduct by its then newly acquired subsidiary, Warner-Lambert, Pfizer was itself in its other operations violating those very same laws."
In addition to the honor of largest criminal fine of any type from the feds ever (according to the DOJ), Pfizer will also pay the largest civil fraud settlement ($1 billion) ever forced on a pharmaceutical company in the US.
BusinessWeek has this to say about the fine:
"It's an ugly blemish for Pfizer, but at least it's essentially over. And while $2.3 billion ain't chicken feed, it's affordable," said Carol Levenson, research director at Gimme Credit, a corporate-bonds research service. The settlement had little effect on Pfizer's stock price—shares closed 10¢ lower on Wednesday, at 16.28.
The affordability of the fines is a problem regulators face in deterring such activity, say industry critics. If a drug generates billions of dollars each year in sales, fines totaling even $1 billion do not offset the money to be made from off-label marketing. "Time will tell" whether the Pfizer fine will stop other companies from unlawful promotions, said Scott Simmer, an attorney with Blank Rome who represents three of the whistleblowers involved in the settlement. "I do believe these practices are endemic throughout the industry."

Ex-Stoke City trainee can bring assault claim against club
A former Stoke City trainee can proceed with claims for damages "potentially worth millions" against the club and an ex-player, a court has ruled.
George Blackstock, now 43, has alleged he was assaulted by ex-goalkeeper Peter Fox at Stoke's old Victoria Ground.
Judge Philip Butler ruled a claim against Mr Fox relating to the alleged assault could proceed to trial.
He also allowed a "vicarious liability" claim against the club for failing to prevent it.
A third claim, alleging negligence against the club, was dismissed.
'No findings of fact'
Judge Butler told the court he had not made "any findings of fact as to whether what's alleged occurred or not" in deciding the case should be allowed to proceed.
Barrister Nicholas Fewtrell, representing Stoke City, told Preston County Court the claim against the club could be worth "hundreds and thousands if not millions of pounds, or it may not be a claim at all."
Mr Fox, who played nearly 500 games for Stoke between 1978 and 1993 and is now 56, said he could not comment.
The claims refer to alleged incidents Mr Blackstock said took place when he was aged 16 or 17.
'Safety and protection'
The claims have previously been investigated by Staffordshire Police who, along with the Crown Prosecution Service, decided not to launch a prosecution.
A trial, lasting three to five days, is expected to take place next year.
In a statement, the club said: "The police conducted investigations into allegations against former players in 2008.
"The club co-operated fully with those investigations. The club understands that no charges were brought against any of the individuals involved, all of whom left the club over 20 years ago.
"The club can give absolute reassurance that it is fully committed to the safety and protection of individuals at the club and has robust safeguarding policies in place which are frequently reviewed and updated.
"Whilst this matter remains the subject of legal proceedings it is not possible, or appropriate, for the club to make any further comment at this time."

12:15-1:30 PM: Lunch/KeyNote - Anna the Authentic: Driving Change At the Speed of Girl
Anna Maria Chávez began her career journey in the very same Movement she now leads: Girl Scouts. A lifetime member of Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) and an award-winning community leader, Anna developed the leadership skills growing up as a Girl Scout in Eloy, Arizona, that would propel her to the office of the chief executive of GSUSA.
Her experiences in Girl Scouting lit a passion for public service and social engagement that have defined Anna's educational and career paths. Her desire to make the world a better place led her from her hometown to Yale University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in American history before pursuing a juris doctorate at the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona. She has since been admitted to the Bar of the US District Court for the District of Arizona, the Arizona Supreme Court, and the US Supreme Court.
Professionally, Anna's interest in serving others brought her first to Washington, DC, where she held numerous posts in President Bill Clinton's administration, including senior policy advisor to former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Rodney E. Slater. She later returned to her home state of Arizona to serve as deputy chief of staff for urban relations and community development under then-Governor Janet Napolitano.
Anna returned to the Girl Scout Movement in 2009, upon looking for opportunities to work with youth. Serving as chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, she greatly enhanced the council's reach and visibility, growing its philanthropy and boosting membership. Her success earned her the respect and recognition of GSUSA's National Board, which appointed her chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of the USA in 2011.
Do you have a question you'd like Anna Maria to discuss at #SuperwomenJDs? You can tweet your questions to us at @msjdorg, send them via Facebook message, or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
1:30-2:45 PM: Session 3 - No Need for Disguise: Using Mindfulness to Become a More Self-Aware Professional
During these three TED-style talks, our audience of superheroines and heroes will learn important skills for ensuring they are well prepared to take on their powerful roles in the world! In each presentation, we will explore a different way to achieve mindfulness through self-awareness. By increasing our awareness of why we may do what we do, we can listen more actively, move through the world with more purpose, and become more sensitive to context and perspective.

Montgolfières in Chalon on Saturday morning (photo JSL) They drifted over Cormatin
With Monday being the 4th public holiday in May it's been another long holiday weekend. The weather was perfect and everyone was out and about enjoying the many events on offer.
The Saturday morning market in Cluny was very busy, and we stopped to have a coffee and watch the world go by.
At the Nation on the main street in Cluny
Having time to kill we wandered through an alleyway we had never seen open before, and found Eric Clavel exhibiting his sculptures. Mainly horses' heads cleverly made of carved wood and bits of machinery, and this life size snorting bull which amused people as it had a clock set in his bottom.
Solange and Frédéric from the School of Dance staged a festival this weekend. Solange led the exercises at the 'barre', a crash barrier along the middle of the street. Anybody could join in.
Exercises at the barre
We were waiting to see the flashmob which was to take place in the marketplace at noon. It was not exactly a flashmob as we know it as it had been advertised for weeks. The routine was on youtube so that anybody who felt like it could learn the dance and join in. It was not unlike some of the routines we do in keep fit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53cG1LaSJZw We did consider doing it.
The first showing of the flashmob in the market with Solange and Frédéric
Then to the Nartex where there was a bit more room
And then home to watch The Wedding!
O, the month of May, the merry month of May,
So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green!
O, and then did I unto my true love say,
Sweet Meghan, thou shalt be my Summer's Queen.
(after Thomas Dekker, 1599)
On Sunday there was the AutoMotoRetro at Boutavent, the chateau at Cortambert. It was organised by Pierre-Jean, the mayor, and was a huge success seeing it was the first year it had been held. There was an astonishing number of vintage cars and lots of visitors. The setting in the grounds of the chateau was perfect with a wonderful view.
The backdrop of the Grosne valley
Catherine, the châtelaine of Butavent
Plenty of visitors arrived in their own classic cars and bikes
It was a fun weekend. With all the holidays it is no wonder that not much work gets done in May!

text: JGW RV Park is Redding's newest park, and nicely situated along the Sacramento River approximately six miles south of Redding (Knighton Road). All sites are spacious, well landscaped, and offer full ameneties. Big rigs need fear no obstacles here, and will have plenty of space to park in the long, paved pull throughs. As a special bonus for a growing number of our readers, the park offers free high speed wireless internet access. The park was called to our attention by one of our regular readers, who especially appreciated the warm, friendly reception he received from the park owners/managers. We agree, and as we do our annual review of recommended parks this one is likely to become a "top pick". (01/04)

Dear CLF members, we have a chicken and the egg scenario in front of us. We, the crochet public ask the question, "Why aren't there as many crochet books as knitting books?" and the industry says, "Well, we publish them but they don't sell as well, so we don't want to publish them."
How is this chicken and the egg? Well, first of all if they don't publish them we can't buy them, and if we don't buy the books they won't publish them. Nice cycle, eh?
So, I ask you the crocheting public, why don't you buy the crochet books? I realise that times are hard, but times have been hard for a decade for many (regardless of what the talking heads have to say about it), and I know many of my cohorts are like myself and buy any crochet book they can get their hands on. So, BESIDES you can't afford it, why else do you not buy books? Conversely, if you are like me and sitting there shaking your head thinking, 'But I DO buy books", do you have a hard time finding out about the books?
See I know I've had that problem, I have to scour the internet (and finally having the CLF is great because we talk shop all day every day and we find out about books, magazines, websites etc), in order to find out what new or old materials I'm lacking in my crochet library.
I have my own theories about why we may buy less books and I'll write about those later. But, I want to ask you to tell me, what's the deal? Why don't you buy them (again not the can't afford argument because that's a no brainer)? Or if you want to but can't find them, let me know too.
Leave your comments, because I want to see what people have to say. Again, I have my own theories on the subject and I will post about those in a few days.

Gardening by the Mooncomments (0) November 7th, 2016
When I was in my first year as an apprentice master gardener, I had the chance to chat with some of the senior master gardeners and those with Emeritus status. That honorary title went to retired master gardeners in recognition of their years of service.
I remember one lively discussion with a woman who had been gardening for most of her 91 years. She told me she followed moon-favorable planting guides for knowing the best times to plant vegetables in her garden.
She mentioned her Slovakian mother believed in timing her planting to the phases of the moon. "I used to make fun of that, but I believe in it now," she told me.
Moon planting is an age-old idea that the moon has some influence on plants and how they grow. Gardeners use this idea to schedule crop plantings at certain times when it's thought the moon is in a favorable position.
Some gardeners believe there's a connection to planting, the moon's pull and its affect on tides; others think it may have something to do with the way the light affects seeds.
When the moon is waxing between a new and full moon, plants that grow their edible parts above ground (corn, peppers, tomatoes, etc.) are planted. When the moon is waning after the full moon and before the next new moon, plants that grow their edible parts below ground (parsnips, turnips, carrots, etc.) are planted.
Some master gardeners and Old Farmers may still believe in gardening by the moon, but researchers say science doesn't support the idea. However the idea makes sense considering that at one time gardeners had only the moon to help them keep track of the seasons.
If you'd like to give moon planting a try this month in your vegetable garden, you can time your plantings before or after November's Supermoon on November 14. The full moon then will be the biggest Supermoon in 70 years.
Dates for planting aboveground crops are November 9 and 10; root vegetables November 17, 18, 26 and 27.
If it's too late in the season to plant in your region, consider moon planting for next year's vegetable garden. The 2017 edition of the Old Farmers' Almanac includes a complete moon planting guide.

LAFAYETTE, LA — This morning, the Southern Professional Hockey League unveiled their playoff format for the 2018 Presidents Cup Playoffs. While the length of all playoff series remains best-of-three games, the first round will be something new to any pro hockey league in North America.
In the league's new format, the top three teams will "draft" their first-round opponents. The Coffey Cup champions – the team with the best regular season record – will be able to select from a pool of teams finishing fifth through eighth in the season standings, followed by teams finishing second and third.
"When I heard about it, it was from a gentleman from Austria… When he told me how it worked… this was the greatest thing ever. You literally won't be able to stop talking about it," said SPHL commissioner Jim Combs.
The top teams will broadcast their playoff selections live on the Sunday following the end of the SPHL regular season on April 8th, 2018. "Every team will have a pick party, and we'll do it all at the same time… and we'll find out who's playing whom at that time," Combs elaborated on how the 2018 first-round playoff matchups will be determined.
Opinions, predictably, are split between fans between an innovative way to seed playoff teams and single-a hockey gimmickry. Some of the fan comments pulled (anonymously) off of Facebook include:
- "What's the harm? Best of three already makes it a wild card, but we know the reason is to keep costs down."
- "Where in the history of sports do you let a team, let alone THREE teams CHERRY PICK their opponents?"
- "This format is entirely too gimmicky for a legitimate professional league."
- "Break the paradigm!. Different, new and can talk all season about what team we'll have no problem taking out the first round."
- "Huntersville is just too close to Charlotte. They're sipping on that NASCAR water."
- "Could be interesting. Definitely unique approach."
- "Sounds like an article from The Onion."
We can't even agree here in The Sin Bin's newsroom.
- "The new playoff format could lead to more interesting games. You could have teams who have dominated a specific team throughout the year picking them as a easy first prey since they have had their number all year." – Justin Rieber (Evansville)
- "Allowing the teams to choose their opponents sets up more suspense." Michele Horne (Mississippi)
- "How professional is it for a team to pick another playoff team?" – Dawne Walters (SPHL Features)
- "I like the idea to be honest. Even if it's going to only be an SPHL thing." – Matthew Harding (TSB Managing Editor)
Let's re-emphasize what the commish said…
"You literally won't be able to stop talking about it." – Jim Combs
Just like when the league introduced three-on-three overtime; we all know how this "gimmick" worked out. Let's not forget the switch to IIHF-style shootouts where coaches can send out skaters for multiple attempts if five rounds aren't enough to get a result.
Like the shootout format change two seasons ago, this shift in postseason procedures has its roots abroad. The Erste Bank Ice Hockey League – Austria's top pro league – adopted the format beginning in the 2013 postseason. Also, the Swedish Hockey League (h/t Alex Gerwitz) used the format until expansion in the 2013-14 season.
Keep in mind there are exactly zero professional hockey leagues above the SPHL use a traditional seeding format for their postseason matchups. The NHL, AHL, and ECHL all use divisional-based playoff formats for their first two rounds. Going with division playoffs in the ECHL and AHL make more sense due to travel costs, but the NHL's format is routinely panned by fans, especially last year when the Metropolitan division was far stronger in the Eastern conference than the Atlantic division.
One of the benefits of being at the bottom rung of the professional hockey ladder (second-lowest, if you consider the FHL a pro league) is there is flexibility to implement radically new ideas other leagues can not. If the "Pick Your Opponent" format change generates buzz among fans and rivalries between teams resulting in a spirited postseason, the decision could be a winner for the SPHL.
So why not let the league's top teams decide their own fate?
Let's rewind the clock to April 2017 and predict what the Macon Mayhem would do with the option of choosing between the Mississippi RiverKings, Knoxville Ice Bears, Pensacola Ice Flyers, and Columbus Cottonmouths for their first-round opponent. Would coach Kevin Kerr still elect to play the Snakes in Columbus for the entire series (remember, Macon didn't have arena availability for the first round) – a surging team with a hot goaltender in Mavric Parks they went 4-2-2 against during the regular season? Perhaps the Mayhem would have picked the Ice Bears, a team in a downward spiral due to injuries and suspensions – which proved to be easy pickings for Peoria.
If the Mayhem picked Knoxville, perhaps the Fayetteville FireAntz would take Columbus with the second pick, and Peoria chooses the RiverKings over Pensacola – leaving the Huntsville Havoc with the Ice Flyers in the first round.
Macon would have probably rolled Knoxville and the Snakes – last season's feel-good team after the tragic bus crash back in January – could have ridden their hot goaltending past a slumping FireAntz team into the semifinals.
We literally would not have stopped talking about this.
I like the idea of a league taking chances and making a paradigm shift away from established tradition. Three-on-three overtime worked. The shootout changes worked. I'm willing to give Combs and the SPHL owners the benefit of the doubt and see how this plays out in March and April.

It is so important as a caregiver not to become so enmeshed in the role that you forget yourself. It's neither good for you nor your loved one.
Dana Reeve
It is so important as a caregiver not to become so enmeshed in the role that you forget yourself. It's neither good for you nor your loved one.
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to hop on and share a video with you. Mental Health is a topic we don't talk enough about. I hope my journey can help you or someone you know. Thank you Brittany Minor a.k.a "Clumps of Mascara for inspiring me to share. Mental Health isn't a 31 day conversation, this is a lifetime journey and we all need to support each other.
Here are the tips that I shared in the video. They've really helped me on the journey & I pray they help you too.
1) Write it down- Sharing your feelings on paper can help you when saying them is just not an option.
2) Don't be judgemental- We all struggle and we can learn from each other.
3) Change the narrative- Understand the power of your words and thoughts. Don't forget you have the power to change your life.
4) Pray constantly or find your faith- My faith in God grounds me.
5) Forgive yourself- It's not always going to be perfect. But, that's ok. Understand that these momentary setbacks or issues are temporary. They only become permanent if you let it be that way.
Finally, be good to yourself. You're so worth it! Mental Health is a daily fight and I'm here with you. Until we meet again!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you've had an amazing holiday filled with family and friends. I just wanted to drop a quick vlog to kick off 2017. My plan for 2017 is to focus on "stepping into the light". I typically am a "behind the scenes" type of person. I always have felt comfortable just doing what I need to do, and moving on quietly. But, I'm learning that the call on my life is too big for that.
I'm learning that my journey can help someone, so I can't be afraid to share it. So, I want you to take the journey of "stepping into the light" with me. To kick things off, here are five tips to help you get started. Let me know what you think, and anything I can share that will make it easier for you. We're in this together :-).
1. Here are some of my favorite books & podcasts:
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes
I'm Judging You by Luvvie Ajayi
Heart and Hustle Podcast
Happy Black Woman Podcast
Stuff Mom Never Told You Podcast
2. You're the happiness that you seek. When you're happy, everyone will be happy. Be open to being happiness, and make yourself a priority.
3. Take care of yourself physically. Do whatever you need to do to make your body/health a priority. Be proactive about your health.
4. Take the time to connect with people who will pull you into the light. Don't be afraid of people who make you step outside of your comfort zone.
5. Just step out. Take a chance on yourself, and do the things that you never thought you could do. Don't let the end of 2017 look like the end of 2016.
We've got this! This is just the beginning of our journey, it's not about perfection. It's about living our best life. Let's thrive in the sun together. I can't wait to hear about how you're doing. Until we meet again!
Hi everyone! Are you ready for the holidays? I'm still shopping; but I'm almost done. Thank you Jesus!! My budget and spirit are especially happy . I can't wait to sit down and spend time catching up with my mom and sister. I know I see them everyday. But, it's so hard with all of the demands of work and life to spend true quality time catching up. I really love those times.
That's when I get to hear all of the stories of my mom's childhood. It's so inspiring to hear all of the love, and the simplicity of things back then. I also love getting the good "deets" or "tea" on how my mom used to act when she was younger . My mom was a quite a pistol back in the day, so I don't want to miss anything. That's why I was so excited to partner with Miracle Ear.
We really take our hearing for granted. I spend over 50% of my day listening to loud music in my car or through my headphones, and I couldn't tell you the last time I got my hearing tested. Unfortunately, it was something I didn't make a priority. So, imagine how surprised I was to find out that Miracle Ear offers FREE at home hearing tests. Yep, you can do it at home.
All you need to do is sign on to your computer, and go to the Miracle Ear website. Once on the site, you'll click on the hearing test feature; and begin the test. The test is super easy; it mimics different scenarios where you're having a conversation with someone in a public place with background noises (e.g. home, coffee shop, train station, etc.). The goal is to make sure you're able to follow the conversations, and you'll be asked questions to make sure you captured the conversation. Gone are the days of listening for the beep. This test uses real-life situations to evaluate your hearing levels.
Your results are available immediately after the test, and you're given tips on things you can do to preserve your hearing, or advised if you should be evaluated further for a hearing device. The information is presented in a way that shows Miracle Ear wants to be your partner in ensuring your hearing is enhanced and/or preserved. You're even able to email the results to yourself to review later, or share with your family.
Miracle Ear really wants to make sure we're living our best lives possible through preserving or enhancing our hearing. I would totally give this test to mom. Mom tends to get nervous when we go to any doctor's office. But, this at home hearing test gives me an easy way to get an idea of her hearing levels in a non-intrusive way. That can be a god's send when dealing with seniors. Their independence is so important to them, and they're scared of anything that jeopardizes that.
So, thank you Miracle Ear for making me think about my own hearing, on top of giving me a solution that I can use for my mom. Make sure you check out this great test, and all of the things that Miracle Ear offers. We also deserve to "hear a better day". Until we meet again!
Hi everyone! I hope your week has been amazing. It's time to talk about the one thing that I struggle with, and I think a lot of people struggle with too. It's time to talk about my journey, and how I took the leap to be transparent at all places, Blogalicious 8.
Be Blogalicious is a multicultural influencer organization that strives to create a place of inclusion, connection and collaboration. They have so many resources & the community is so inspiring. So, when I had a chance to attend their annual conference I knew I had to do it. With this being my "Year of Yes" too, I also took the chance and signed up to volunteer. I'm lo-key shy, so this was a big leap for me. But, the leap paid off, and I was selected for the "Social Squad".
As a member of the "Social Squad" you work behind the scenes at the conference doing anything from putting gift bags together, to setting up stage settings for keynote talks. It was amazing! We worked hard, but the camaraderie of the "Social Squad" was amazing. Everyone was just down to help, and there were no egos. It was just a group of like-minded people getting it done. I definitely will submit to volunteer again.
But, that was only a part of the specialness of Blogalicious 8 for me. I learned so many great things from the speakers, and met my "She-Ro" Luvvie Ajayi. She is the amazing "Side-Eye Sorceress & "Wacky Wordsmith", who is a NY Times Best-Selling Author of " I'm Judging You". You must check it out, everyone else is (e.g. Bono, Ava Duvernary, Uzo Adaba, Gabrielle Union, etc.), it's a must read or listen!
I also got the opportunity to attend an amazing event with Jack Daniels. Jack Daniels is one of my favorite cocktails, and I've used it in recipes and as my drink of choice for years. I truly am a #FriendofJack. P.S. Their Winter Jack is impeccable. Definitely, try it out for a nice cider or hot toddy.
But, the highlight of my time at Blogalicious 8 was my time with AARP. I had an opportunity to share my caregiving story, and I didn't realize how emotional that would be for me. I'm wrapping up year six of my journey with my mom & sister, and I can't believe how far we've come. It's amazing how time makes things more bearable when at first they seemed impossible.
I never thought I would be able to tell anyone about the times that I thought I wasn't going to make it. Or, the times when I wanted to kill myself and leave my mom and sister to fend for themselves. I was so low, and I had to fight for them and my sanity. I feel so blessed to be where I am now. But, it wasn't easy. It took a lot of honesty, faith and counseling to get where I am now. But, I thank God I made it. I thank God that he gave me the strength to remember that I made a vow to stand in my truth, if I made it through. So, I shared my journey and it went viral. I still can't believe it. Over 200K people saw my story, and could identify with my journey. That's such a blessing. That let me know that sharing my journey is the right path for my life. It also showed that I can be honest an real, and people will identify with me.
As an influencer there's always the pressure to make everything look so curated. But, life is not curated. People want realness, and that's all I have time for anymore. I don't have the energy or time to fake it. I'll give you great content and beautiful images, but you can bet it's going to be the real deal. So, be you and do you!
That's the biggest lesson I learned at Blogalicious 8, and I'm so glad I took the time to invest in me. Invest in yourself, and you may be pleasantly surprised about what you learn. You deserve to live your most authentic life, and that only comes by being honest with yourself. So, take a chance on you! I can't wait to hear about what you do!
Until we meet again!
What's up everybody? I hope your week is starting off good. My Monday has been crazy. I almost had a flashback to my last "Tuesday that felt like a Monday". You know that one after Labor Day. All I can say, is "Le Struggle . But, I've decided to focus this week thinking about happy thoughts. So, I have to tell you about my magical weekend with my sister.
Tracey always works on Saturday, and she's normally tired when she comes home. But, this week we decided we needed to have a "night out", and we went to Seasons 52 for Magical Dining. Magical Dining is this amazing time of the year ( August 29th- October 2nd), where restaurants put together an amazing three-course prix menu for $33. One dollar from every meal served goes to a charity. This year the proceeds are going to The Russell Home for Atypical Children. So, you get a great meal while supporting an amazing cause. Tracey and I really look forward to Magical Dining. As caregivers, we have to "ball on a budget". So, we really appreciate every opportunity we can find to have fun affordably. Interested yet? Well check out the food .

Imagine living near the rolling hills of Tuscany, making gnocchi and sundried tomatoes from scratch with grandma as far back as you can remember. Be jealous: this was the life of Chef Michael Pirolo, before enrolling in culinary school in Torino, Italy. After that, he was hand-picked to apprentice at Michelin-rated establishments such as La Voglia Matta in Bologna and Café Groppi in Piemonte. He made his return to the U.S. when he joined Chef Scott Conant in the kitchen of Scarpetta in NYC. Naturally, Pirolo jumped on board to open the Scarpetta outpost at the iconic Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. We're not bragging or anything, but under his direction, Scarpetta has garnered critical acclaim as one of Miami's finest dining options (just sayin').
I'm sure all the dishes on each of your menus are like your children, but if you had to choose only one dish from the menu, which ones are you most proud of?
I'm like a kid with a new toy, so I always like the newest dish the most. Right now, it's the fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with sweet Maine shrimp and Mortadella and served over whipped ricotta.
Most popular item on the menu?
Spaghetti tomato and basil.
How would you describe Miami's dining scene?
EXCITING! I love the dining scene here, and it is constantly evolving.
The secret to cooking perfect pasta?
Seasoned water. It should taste like broth and the last minute of cooking should be done in the pan with whatever sauce you may be serving it with.
At what point did you realize you were destined to be a chef?
It was pretty early, I can't say an exact age or date. But I can remember at an early age noticing how happy people are when sharing a good meal.
The 5 ingredients every kitchen should have?
Sea salt is a given, so we won't count that. Extra virgin olive oil, good-quality vinegar, whole garlic, Prosciutto or salami (or at least some kind of pork product), and fresh tomatoes.
The 5 utensils every kitchen should have?
Blender, Chef's knife, Japanese mandolin, Microplane and tweezers.
First dish you learned to make?
Rigatoni with eggplant and smoked mozzarella.
Favorite dish to make at home?
Eggs, doesn't sound exciting but believe me you can get pretty creative.
What's your favorite food to eat? In other words, what could you live off of for the rest of your life if you had to?
That's a tricky question. I love to eat sushi. I have it on most days off. But if I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest of my life it would be Spaghetti Aglio e Olio.
Tell us a little more about your restaurant.
Scarpetta is going into its third year and we are just about to launch the reopening of our patio. It will be glassed in and will offer ocean views despite weather conditions. We are also going to add a raw bar to the menu.
If there's one tip or piece of advice you could give to all aspiring chefs out there, what would it be?
Love what you do. The rest will take care of itself.

Significant Legislation in the Criminal Law Field in 1998
by Phil Cherner, Jason Middleton
© 1998 Phil Cherner and Jason Middleton
This article summarizes the most significant 1998 Colorado legislation in the criminal law field. The complete text of each Act can be found at the Colorado General Assembly's web site: <http://www.state.co.us/gov_dir/stateleg.html>.
Sex Offender Lifetime Supervision
Sess. Law 303, H.B. 98-1156
The Colorado Sex Offender Lifetime Supervision Act of 1998 ("Act") makes substantial revisions to sex offender sentencing for crimes committed on or after November 1, 1998. The Act's legislative declaration sets forth its philosophy: A majority of sex offenders will continue to offend for the rest of their lives, but incarcerating them for the rest of their lives is too costly; therefore, "a program under which sex offenders may receive treatment and supervision for the rest of their lives, if necessary, is necessary for the safety, health and welfare of the state."1
The Act establishes two categories of offenders that it governs. The first category is the more serious sex offenses, including first- and second-degree sexual assault, felony third-degree sexual assault, sexual assault on a child, and sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust. Also included are attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation to commit these offenses, provided such an offense would be a Class 2, 3, or 4 felony.
One sentencing option for these offenses is a Department of Corrections ("DOC") sentence of an indeterminate term. The minimum of the indeterminate sentence is at least the minimum in the presumptive range. The maximum is required to be life. The only other sentencing alternative, unless there is a mandatory sentence requirement, is a period of probation of at least ten years to life for a Class 4 felony, and twenty years to life for a Class 2 or 3 felony.
The second category of offenses includes such things as trafficking in children, felony sexual exploitation of a child, pandering, soliciting, procurement of a child, as well as attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation to commit any of these offenses. For this second category of offenders, the court can apply the same sentencing ranges as described in the preceding paragraph if the court finds, pursuant to an assessment, that the person is likely to commit one or more of the offenses under the sexually violent predator statute, CRS § 18-3-414.5, and is likely to commit them under the circumstances described under CRS § 18-3-414.5(1)(b) (stranger victimization or promoting a relationship primarily for the purpose of sexual victimization).
Even after making these findings, the statute provides only that the court "may" sentence the person pursuant to the provisions of the Act. Contrast this with the group of offenders in the more serious category, where imposition of the lifetime probation or lifetime sentence is mandatory. There is some question whether these provisions apply to deferred judgments. Obviously, it would not make sense to sentence someone who receives a deferred judgment to prison for the rest of his or her life, yet the triggering event is a conviction or a guilty plea.
The offender who is sentenced to prison for life is eligible for consideration for parole on completion of the period of incarceration specified in the sentence, less any earned time credits. The Parole Board is to consider whether (1) the person has successfully progressed in treatment, (2) whether they would pose an undue threat to the community if released under appropriate treatment and monitoring, and (3) whether there is a strong and reasonable probability that the person will not thereafter violate the law. In addition, the DOC is to make a recommendation on whether the individual should be paroled and, if so, the necessary level of treatment and monitoring.
This recommendation will be based on criteria established by the Sex Offender Management Board. Class 4 sex offenders will have a parole of at least ten years and a maximum of life. For Class 2 and 3 sex offenders, the minimum period of parole is twenty years, with a maximum of life.2 None of these sentences is deemed discharged until an order to that effect is entered by the Parole Board. If parole is denied at the initial application, it has to be reconsidered at least once every three years. Every paroled sex offender starts in an intensive supervision parole program.
Much like the parole process, the Judicial Department is directed to establish an intensive supervision probation program for sex offenders. Many restrictions can be placed on the probationer, including restricted daily activities, limitation of contacts with others, and monitored curfew.
Only the court can terminate probation, and then only after a hearing. Like parole, if a determination is denied, it has to be revisited at least every three years.
It is implied that the inmate, probationer, or parolee has the burden of showing eligibility to secure release. CRS § 16-13-809 requires that the Sex Offender Management Board establish criteria by which the offender may demonstrate that he or she would not pose an undue threat to the community.
CRS § 16-13-801 requires an annual report detailing the number of sex offenders in the system and the sentences and revocations that have been imposed. It will be interesting to see whether fewer offenders are sentenced to prison than under present laws. Similarly, it will be interesting to see if the percentage of cases being tried will go up or down.
The Sex Offender Act of 1968 is not available as a sentencing option for offenders who fall within the provisions of the 1998 Act.
To understand how this bill will function, it is helpful to consider a hypothetical case. The defendant is convicted of sexual assault on a child, a Class 4 felony pursuant to CRS § 18-3-405(2). This falls within the more serious group of sex offenses for purposes of the Act. Therefore, the court's sentencing options are an indeterminate sentence from the bottom of the presumptive range to life, or from an indeterminate period of probation of at least ten years to life. For this hypothetical Class 4 felony, the bottom of the presumptive range is two years, so the authorized sentence is two years to life.
A direct sentence to community corrections does not appear to be an option because the sentence must be to the DOC. However, community placement as a condition of probation is not prohibited. Thus, offenders ineligible for probation are ineligible for community placement.
"Super Parole" and Other Substantive Changes
Sess. Law 314, H.B. 98-1160 (Effective July 1, 1998)
This is the annual, substantive criminal law bill. It has several provisions, three of which are commented on in this article.
First, the bill raises the felony threshold for all theft-related offenses from $400 to $500. There are parallel provisions in H.B. 98-1225, which is discussed below.
Second, CRS § 18-3-202 is amended to provide that all first-degree assault offenses that are not committed during a sudden heat of passion are to be sentenced in the aggravated range. This is a Class 3 felony, meaning a sentence range of ten to thirty-two years.
Third, the bill creates a new period of "super parole," formally called a period of "supervision," to be served in such a fashion that the offender must serve a year on this status without violation. It applies to (1) an offender paroled for a Class 2 through 6 felony, that is (2) the offender's second or subsequent felony offense committed on or after July 1, 1998, and who has (3) had his or her most recent parole revoked. If the individual's remaining parole is less than twelve months, instead of serving the remaining parole, he or she must serve a twelve-month period of supervision.
The conditions of "supervision" appear to be the same as parole with a different name. Under some circumstances, revocation proceedings initiated during this twelve-month period can lead only to imposition of intermediate sanctions, as opposed to incarceration. However, there is no mechanism (complaint, notice, or hearing) for revocation.
The maximum amount of time a person can serve in custody as a result of a revocation of supervision is computed by the following formula:
[The length of time] shall not exceed the length of the offender's original sentence to incarceration plus the length of the offender's original sentence to mandatory parole plus 12 months. In calculating the time spent in incarceration by an offender for purposes of this paragraph, the offender shall receive credit for time spent in incarceration as a result of the original sentence to incarceration, any time spent in incarceration as a result of revocation of mandatory parole, and any time spent in incarceration as a result of revocation of supervision.3
[The length of time] shall not exceed the length of the offender's original sentence to incarceration plus the length of the offender's original sentence to mandatory parole plus 12 months. In calculating the time spent in incarceration by an offender for purposes of this paragraph, the offender shall receive credit for time spent in incarceration as a result of the original sentence to incarceration, any time spent in incarceration as a result of revocation of mandatory parole, and any time spent in incarceration as a result of revocation of supervision.3
The upshot is that it will be extremely difficult to advise defendants of the maximum length of parole as part of the Rule 11 procedure. However, because the twelve months of supervision can occur only from parole revocation, the failure to advise on this point may not render the plea involuntary.4
Preliminary Hearings
Sess. Law 301, S.B. 98-008
(Effective July 1, 1998)
S.B. 98-008 eliminates preliminary hearings in certain classes of felonies. CRS §§ 16-5-301, 18-1-404, and 19-2-705 are amended to provide that individuals charged with a Class 1, 2, or 3 felony are entitled to a preliminary hearing.
No person accused of a Class 4, 5, or 6 felony is entitled to a preliminary hearing unless: (1) the offense requires mandatory sentencing or is a crime of violence as defined in CRS § 16-11-309; (2) the defendant is accused of a sexual offense under CRS § 18-3-401 et seq.; or (3) the defendant is in custody (however, if the defendant is released from custody prior to the preliminary hearing, then the preliminary hearing will be vacated). Instead of a preliminary hearing in Class 4-6 felonies, the defendant "shall participate in a dispositional hearing for the purposes of case evaluation and potential resolution." The bill "encourages" the Colorado Supreme Court to promulgate rules defining the term "dispositional hearing."
It is interesting to note that Crim.P. 5 and 7 have not been changed and still give defendants a right to a preliminary hearing in all felony cases. It also is unclear when and whether an in-custody defendant charged with a Class 4-6 felony must be advised that by making bail, he or she may waive the right to a preliminary hearing.
Persistent Drunk Driver Act of 1998
Sess. Law 295, H.B. 98-1334
(Effective July 1, 1998)
CRS § 42-4-1301 (the DUI statute) has a new paragraph which provides that if an individual is charged with Driving Under the Influence and the blood or breath analysis result is 0.20 or higher, and that individual then is convicted of the lesser offense of Driving While Ability Impaired ("DWAI"), the individual is considered an "aggravated" offender and is subject to the DUI penalties. In other words, a DUI defendant (even first time) with a .20 breath test result who pleads to, or is found guilty of, a lesser DWAI offense will still be sentenced under CRS § 42-4-1301 (9)(a)(I) as though convicted of a DUI.
The section also is amended to provide an additional penalty surcharge of $25-$500 in DUI and DWAI cases. Nothing in this law changes the point assessment pursuant to CRS § 42-2-127; consequently, a DWAI conviction in this situation should still only result in an eight-point assessment against the defendant's driver's license.
CRS § 16-4-103 has been amended to provide that, with respect to any person arrested for driving while his or her license was under restraint solely or partially because of an alcohol-related driving conviction [CRS § 42-2-138(1)(d)], the person's "bail . . . shall be set at ten-thousand dollars or such amount as is set at a bail hearing." This applies to first-time offenders whose license restraint is due, even in part, to alcohol-related driving offenses.
A condition of every bail bond where there is a charge of driving under restraint pursuant to CRS § 42-2-138(1) (d)(I) must be that the defendant not drive any motor vehicle during the period of any driving restraint. Further, any person arrested for DUI/DWAI "may not attend a bail hearing until such person is no longer intoxicated . . . such person shall be held in custody until such person may safely attend such hearing."5
Lastly, the law requires notification to the owner of a vehicle used in a DUI/DWAI offense that said vehicle was used in such offense, even if the owner was not driving the vehicle at the time. Further, if the vehicle is used in two or more such offenses, the owner is required to meet certain financial responsibility requirements, even if the owner was never actually involved in any offense.
Standardization of Financial Crimes
Sess. Law 221, H.B. 98-1225
(Effective July 1, 1998)
This law revises most financially related offenses, such as where the level of offense is related to pecuniary loss or damage, so that offenses involving less than $500 dollars are misdemeanors and amounts over $500 are felonies (previously the cutoff amount for many offenses was $400). The following offenses were amended:
Increased Penalties for Vehicular Homicide
Sess. Law 298, S.B. 98-021
(Effective July 1, 1998)
This law amends CRS § 18-1-105(9)(a) to provide for enhanced sentencing (at least midpoint of presumptive range, but not more than twice the maximum) for defendants convicted of vehicular homicide when in immediate flight from the commission of another felony.
Domestic Violence
Sess. Law 293, H.B. 98-1272
(Effective July 1, 1998)
This bill amends CRS § 18-6-803.6 ("Duties of peace officers") to provide that police are not required to make an arrest of either party allegedly involved in an act of domestic violence when the officer determines there is no probable cause to believe that a domestic violence offense occurred. Further, officers are not required to arrest both parties involved in an alleged act of domestic violence where both parties claim to be victims.
The bill also amends CRS § 18-6-803.5 and 803.7 and adds CRS § 18-6-803.8, to provide that the offense of violation of a restraining order can occur based on a violation of restraining orders or injunctions from another state ("foreign protection orders").
Crime Victim Compensation
Sess. Law 172, H.B. 98-1130
(Effective April 30, 1998)
This bill amends CRS § 16-11-102 to provide that the court may, at sentencing or later, impose an amount of restitution that is less than the full pecuniary loss caused by the defendant if the lesser amount is agreed to by the defendant, the prosecuting attorney, and the victim.
Discovery in Class 1 Felonies
Sess. Law 137, H.B. 98-1264
(Effective. April 21, 1998)
CRS § 16-11-103 has a new subsection (3.5), which specifically applies to discovery in death penalty cases.
Miscellaneous Provisions
Sexual Offenses
H.B. 98-1177 (Sess. Law 139, § 1) made some amendments relating to sex offenders and their duty to register under CRS § 18-3-412.5. The most notable change is that effective July 1, 1998, any person who was convicted in this state or any other state on or after July 1, 1991, for an offense that would constitute an unlawful sexual offense under CRS § 18-3-411(1) or enticement of a child under CRS § 18-3-305 is now required to register pursuant to this statute. Any person released from custody of the DOC on or after July 1, 1991, for such an offense also is required to register (apparently regardless of the actual date of conviction).
CRS § 18-3-407, regarding a victim's prior or subsequent sexual conduct, and hearings regarding such, has been amended by H.B. 98-1177 (Sess. Law 139, § 7) to apply to any witness, not just the victim. This bill was effective April 21, 1998.
H.B. 98-1160 (Sess. Law 314, § 33) amended CRS § 18-3-405.3 (Sexual Assault on a Child--Position of Trust) to provide that the crime is a Class 3 felony if the victim is under fifteen years old, or the offense is committed as part of a pattern of sexual abuse as defined in CRS § 18-3-401(2.5) (this sentence enhancement applies to victims under eighteen years old). Any defendant convicted of a Class 3 felony as part of a pattern of sexual abuse under this section shall be sentenced in accordance with CRS § 16-11-309 (Mandatory Sentences for Violent Crimes). H.B. 98-1160 was effective July 1, 1998.
Driver's Licenses and Driving Offenses
CRS § 42-4-1601 (Accidents involving death or personal injuries - duties) was amended by H.B. 98-1160 (Sess. Law 314, § 32) so that a violation is now a Class 5 felony (formerly a Class 1 misdemeanor) if the accident involved serious bodily injury. The bill was effective July 1, 1998.
CRS § 42-4-1710 provides that no bench warrants be issued for failure to appear for any hearings on traffic infractions, the sole penalty for failing to appear is entry of judgment and assessment of appropriate penalties and surcharges. See H.B. 98-1160 (Sess. Law 314, § 1), effective July 1, 1998.
H.B. 98-1160 (Sess. Law 314 §§ 3-8) amended CRS § 42-2-125(l) to provide for the revocation of a minor's license or permit to drive if the minor is convicted or adjudicated of the enumerated drug offenses--which include the petty offense of possession of marijuana under one ounce--under any state or equivalent municipal statute. The first offense equals three months' suspension or twenty-four hours of public service; the second offense equals six months' suspension; and the third offense equals one year's suspension. CRS §§ 18-18-404, -405, and -406 also have had sections added, providing for revocation of any driver's permit, minor driver's license, or provisional license for any conviction or adjudication of any non-felony violations of their respective provisions. This bill was effective July 1, 1998.
Central Registry of Restraining Orders: CRS § 18-6-803.7 has been amended by H.B. 98-1008 (Sess. Law 251, § 5) to provide that orders issued pursuant to CRS §§ 18-1-1001 or 19-2-707 will be entered into the registry only at the discretion of the court or on motion of the district attorney. This bill was effective May 27, 1998.
Appeals by the Prosecution: H.B. 98-1008 (Sess. Law 251, § 9) amended CRS § 16-12-102 to provide that any order of a trial court that dismisses one or more counts of a charging document prior to trial is immediately appealable. This bill was effective May 27, 1998.
2. See H.B. 98-1177 § 6, amending CRS § 18-1-105(c)(a)(V)(C), which may conflict with this provision.
3. CRS § 17-22.5-403(9)(e).
4. Cf. People v. Jones, 957 P.2d 1046 (Colo. App.1997) (possibility of reincarceration for parole violation is not a direct consequence of a guilty plea).
5. CRS § 16-4-103(1)(c).

Last month, I spoke about looking for ways to improve your business while staying true to its core values. But what defines those values? Each of us will have different ones, but it's hard to assess your company's core values if your own are unclear.
In this information age, it's easy for people to think they know everything. This is dangerous: information is not knowledge, and it's essential to realize how much we don't know. Not all core values are positive; some are formed by egotism and greed. I've seen many businesses compromise ethics (and long-term potential) for a quick profit. If we want our businesses to be viable, it's essential to listen to one another and look out for everyone's best interests. Not just our customers, but our employees -- and even our competitors.
This may sound counterintuitive, but sensible operators always have recognized it. We can't ignore what's happening in the industry and the world around us. The nature of the "corporation" (or the mom-and-pop business) and the future of our country are related.
Howard Schultz, Starbucks chief executive and author of the best-seller Onward: How Starbucks Fought For Its Life Without Losing Its Soul, has said "It's not always what you do, but why you do it." According to Schultz, a business must exceed expectations if it's to be truly successful. But in order to do that, you must have a purpose beyond making a profit; you can't build something exceptional if you don't take it personally. And when you take it personally, others will notice and be inspired to fight for its future, too.
Short-term success doesn't build long-term values. As a leader, there are times when you need to share yourself with people and show them who you are. If you tell the truth and do things the right way, others will want to follow you; not because you are pushing them to do so, but because they believe that aligning with you is valuable to them. And anyone in the company who doesn't share that right-way mindset shouldn't be on your team.
Much like personal core values, a company's core values are there to guide behavior and choice. Some of the smartest people I know consciously or unconsciously use personal core values to select friendships, relationships and business partnerships. I've found that core values help me keep true to myself and, as a result, better able to manage personal resources including time and money. They also help me condition the culture in which I live.
If you are not true to yourself and don't march to the beat of your own drum, your tribe will never find you. For example, I function best when I can be candid. There is an old Spanish proverb (or perhaps a Mark Twain quote) to the effect that "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." I naturally gravitate towards like-minded people and try to create this same atmosphere of transparency and open communication so employees and other friends feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Transparency is not only a guiding principle for me, but a core value for Vending Times. Truth is necessary for professional journalism, and since people pay attention to what we report, credibility and integrity are critical guiding principles of our corporate culture. But while some companies might expressly publish their core values or mission statement, the best way to display these values is to act and behave accordingly. A core value is only authentic if the company's people manage to live by it, at least most of the time.
Returning to Howard Schultz: in 2008, he made the unusual decision to return as CEO, eight years after stepping down from the top executive post to become chairman. In Onward, he tells the story of how he brought Starbucks back from what he saw as a spiritual crisis. He was determined to guide it back to its core values and restore not only its financial health, but also its soul: to do one, he had to do the other.
The author emphasizes the need to maintain a balance between profitability and personality. "Success is not sustainable," he wrote. "The challenge is to grow, yet remain small and maintain a sense of intimacy with your customers." He has explained that his father had been permanently disabled on the job, without health insurance, in the days before workers' compensation laws. That formative experience made him determined to build the company that his father had not had the opportunity to work for.
In the spirit of transparency, I'll disclose that I recently learned more about Howard Schultz from an interview with Oprah Winfrey on her OWN Channel's "Super Soul Sunday." I was so inspired by his views that I felt compelled to share them with our readers. And Schultz is in good company; McDonald's legendary Ray Kroc said, "If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours."
