May 26 (Bloomberg) -- Ecuador paid 35 cents on the dollar to holders of as much as $3.2 billion of defaulted bonds and gave creditors a second chance to sell back their securities.
The payout is 5 cents more than the minimum price set by the government and the 30-cent payout offered by Argentina in its 2005 debt restructuring. Ecuador didn't say how many investors participated in the buyback.
The government, seeking to pressure bondholders into participating, said it won't improve the offer to those creditors who hold out of the buyback auctions. President Rafael Correa halted payments in December on $510 million of 2012 bonds and in March on $2.7 billion of 2030 bonds, saying the securities were "illegitimate" and "illegal." A drop in oil exports has sparked a tumble in Ecuador's reserves.
The repurchase prices "reflect the resources of the republic and are responsive to the majority of the offers received," Finance Minister Maria Elsa Viteri said in a statement. "The republic will not offer equal or more favourable terms to those being offered to holders of bonds presently."
Ecuador's stance is similar to that of Argentina after its 2005 debt settlement. Creditors holding $20 billion of the bonds Argentina defaulted on in 2001 rejected the government's offer of about 30 cents on the dollar. Then-President Nestor Kirchner pushed legislation through congress that blocks the government from making a second offer to creditors.
"Ecuador will take a hard line in terms of holdouts," said Igor Arsenin, an emerging-market strategist at Credit Suisse Group in New York.
Bond Prices
The 2012 and 2030 securities rose 2 cents to 33 cents, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. The bonds, which were sold as part of Ecuador's 2000 restructuring after its default in 1999, should be trading at the 35-cent clearing price until the auction is completed, said Siobhan Morden, a Latin America debt strategist at RBS Securities Inc. in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The current level may reflect a "blended price" that also takes into account the potential decline in the bonds' value after the auction is finished, Morden said.
Bond prices may also indicate that investors are unclear about whether bondholders who didn't submit a bid initially will be allowed to participate in the auction now , said Alberto Bernal, a fixed-income strategist at Bulltick Capital Markets in Miami.
Viteri is scheduled to hold a press conference May 28, Finance Ministry spokesman Victor Carvajal said. The government won't release further details until that time, he said. Viteri said on May 18 that more than 75 percent of bondholders had participated in the auction.
Default Threats
The government will provide information by June 12 on the amount repurchased at the conclusion of the second buyback offer, Viteri said in the statement.
The completion of the buyback will cap more than two years of default threats by Correa, a 46-year-old economist who earned his PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In December 2006, a month after winning a landslide victory, he said he wouldn't "hesitate" to default on the country's debt in order to maintain government spending on the poor.
Werner Baer, an economics professor who taught Correa at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said his former student is not a "radical."
"You have to look into really the circumstances, not just cry default without understanding the motivation," Baer said. "I think he's been unfairly caricatured as a leftist radical president. Correa was always interested in the poor, in the distribution of income. You don't have to take an ideological side to see that traditionally income has been very concentrated in most Latin American countries and he was concerned with that."

The current era of "two-minute abs" and "microwave training sessions" makes it seem like there are easy and quick routes to athletic conditioning. Although it's tempting to take an easier route, when it comes to training for superior performance, there is no such thing. If you want to be successful, you have to push yourself, because I guarantee that if you're not, your opponents are. (Read Are You Setting Yourself Up to Fail?)
Sedentary people might not define athletes who train daily as "lazy," but such labels can tempt athletes to slack off and not push themselves as hard as they should. (Learn how it happened to Michael Phelps.) It's tempting to rest on your laurels, especially when you're tired or sore. Its appealing, but don't be fooled. You will end up negating the hard work you previously put in.
If you are struggling to maintain your original motivation, or catching yourself taking it too easy in the gym, remember: the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. Next time you catch yourself dogging it, take a minute to ask yourself the following:
1. Take a look around; is the grass really greener? Beware of athletes to whom certain activities come naturally. Although they may be on top now, if they don't push themselves, they will eventually be surpassed by athletes who work harder.
Beware of easy coaches as well. Popularity is not necessarily a sign of a good coach. The only true measure of a coach is how his or her athletes perform. Good training takes a couple of years to have an effect, but it can take that long to see deterioration as well. Consider the long-term performance of athletes who train with particular coaches.
2. Look deeper. How hard are you really training? Is your coach really asking too much if he or she expects you to show up at 6.30 a.m. for 30 minutes of conditioning and again for evening practice? Don't be spoiled. How do you think the pros got where they are today? Not by sleeping in!
3. Think about your motivation for listening to other people. Are you looking for the easy path? Is that other coach really better than yours, or is his program more attractive because his sessions seem easier? Are the people who are telling you that you don't need to work hard really helping you? What you have to realize is that the only reason you want to look elsewhere or copy someone else's lifestyle or training is because you want an easier life. There is no other reason. Is that a good reason?
Motivational speaker Eric Thomas says, "Don't ask yourself what's wrong with something; ask yourself what's right with it." What's wrong with wanting to train less? What's right with it? Two questions, two answers. Only one right answer. Athletic improvement is all about choosing the right question and getting the right answer.

Cardinals chat with Derrick Goold
Bring your Cardinals questions and comments, and talk to Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold in a live chat at 1 p.m. Monday..
I'm not sure I agree. Hudson is part of that depth. He's been in the majors all season. Gallegos was part of that depth because of his performance and he's had a good run here. Helsley, Ponce de Leon -- they've been up and contributed. Webb has carved out a role for himself in part because he pitched his way into being part of the depth and then got the call. Gant is part of that depth and he's got a vital role in the bullpen. Reyes was part of the depth and he just wasn't ready, in hindsight. Rusty.I can't help but look at the roster and see how that depth is already being utilized. It may not be making as big of an impact as planned, but it's being utilized. If you define depth as pitchers in the minors, then by definition the team will never use that depth because the moment they're used in the majors, they're not in the minors. You are seeing the Cardinals depth.

First of All, EVERY Entrepreneur NEEDS a Virtual Assistant…or two
Why? Because in every business, there are repetitive, often mind-numbing, tasks that can easily be put on auto-pilot. What's more is that usually, these tasks are the kinds of tasks that you can outsource for $3 – $12 per hour! So, if you're spending time doing a $12/hr task, all the sudden, your time is only worth whatever it costs you to pay someone else to do it!
Here's How Your Life Will Improve When You Hire a VA
- You'll stop procrastinating, because your assistant will do all those things you hate!
- You'll stop wasting time taking in-bound calls from marketing campaigns. (Your VA can use this awesome tool to submit buyer and seller leads.)
- Your productivity will sky-rocket.
- You'll make more money, because you'll be freed-up to spend time on revenue-generating activities…money, baby!
Don't Make the Same Mistake I Made for 3 Years (Yes, I'm a slow learner)
For my first few years in business, I would pride myself in NOT giving exact instructions to my staff! I would say stupid stuff like, "If no one showed me how to do ___, then there's no reason for me to show my staff." Of all the asinine things to say!!! Finally, I learned the value in creating scripts, systems, and step-by-step instructions (with screenshots if necessary) for everything, and my life instantly got better. Be sure to set your staff up for success.
Do THIS Consistently, and You'll be Glad You Did
It's god to assign tasks, and it's good to create systems and protocols, etc., but true effectiveness and creativity on the part of your staff will only take place AFTER you implement systems for accountability and goal-setting. Each of your staff members should create and submit to you their self-created goals for the upcoming week, and they should also report on their performance against the previous week's goals. Weekly goals should be 2-5 items. I also like to have them do the same thing at the beginning and end of every day. I know that this sounds like a lot of extra work, but it's the same thing we entrepreneurs do, right? Why do we do it? Answer: Because it makes us more effective! And if it makes us more effective, then why not have our staff do the same thing so that our effectiveness as a company will multiply?!?
4 Steps for Finding the Right Virtual Assistant
First of all, identify the set of tasks that you're looking to delegate. Secondly, ask yourself what kind of person or personality would not only be good at doing those things, but also ask what kind of person / personality would enjoy doing that job? Determine the ideal kind of person and personality for the job so that you can keep people long-term. Third, make sure that you interview (by phone) at least 3 people for any job…even if you think the first one is the "perfect" candidate. Last but not least, the best source for outsourcing (pun intended J ) is www.Odesk.com. They've got great systems for tracking and monitoring your VA's work log.
Now, go hire yourself a VA…even if it's just for 5 hours per week! You are going to LOVE the new-found freedom that you have!
To YOUR Success,
Jim "JimmyZ" Zaspel

Introduction: How to Make Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread
Baking is one of my favorite things to do and I've recently become interested in veganism, so when I saw that Instructables was having both a Baking Contest and Vegan Challenge, I knew that I had to enter something. I decided to go with this Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread because it is easy to make and one of my favorite treats.
Step 1: Ingredients and Materials
The ingredients that you will need to make this are:
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 ripe bananas*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/8 cup water
*The bananas that I am using were frozen. Once bananas get a lot of brown spots on them, I put them in the freezer to save for making banana bread. You don't have to use frozen bananas for this, but if you do, make sure that you allow them to thaw before making the banana bread.
The materials that you should have are:
a loaf pan
cooking spray
two bowls
measuring cups and spoons
a fork
a whisk
Step 2: Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 3: Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Step 4: Wet Ingredients
Peel the bananas and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them until they are smooth. Add in the oil, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and water. Whisk to combine.
Step 5: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Baking
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Place in the oven to bake for 45 minutes. You will know that the banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before eating.

|You can see Random Cat on a Istanbul fashion show
catwalk does NOT like this piece of fashion.
No big deal, I hear you saying. You're not that into fashion anyway.
But this was the best fashion show ever, thanks to a random cat.
According to The Dodo, this cat decided that if there's a catwalk, the cat should be on said catwalk, duh!
As human models strutted down the catwalk at the fashion show to dreary, plodding electronic music, Random Cat decided to mess up that mood and inject a little humor.
Nobody knows where Random Cat came from but she was a natural on said catwalk.
Random Cat showed who's boss, attacking some of the fashions that she didn't care much for, then strutted down to the end of the catwalk like the diva she is.
I saw one Tweet describing what the Random Cat was thinking at that moment: "No, no, no dahling. THIS is how you walk."
I sometimes watch the show "Project Runway," in which contestants design clothes for sometimes ridiculous situations using ridiculous material. The show is on hiatus until 2019, but when it returns, I think there should be a cat episode of "Project Runway."
Here's the video from Istanbul:

I just finished my third winter using the ultralight Osprey Exos as my primary multi-day backpack, and as I enter my fourth summer I still can't imagine loading up another pack when headed to the backcountry. With Osprey updating their Aether and Ariel series, and with the Exos seemingly due for a refresh having been introduced in its current capacity back in 2014, I started getting panicky that Osprey would be tinkering with the Exos for this spring, so I recently reached out to them to ask if they'd any plans to discontinue the pack or otherwise give it a facelift. I'm relieved to report that they have no plans to screw with their very good thing.
The version I use, the 58-liter model, is widely available for less than $220, a steal considering MSRP is $290. It weighs only 2 lbs 10 oz. (medium), and though you can find a few lighter internal frame packs, the Exos will comfortably swallow at least 40 pounds. I'm sure I've crammed close to 50 pounds in mine before and it's always carried like a dream. It'll even fit a BearVault 500 bear can sideways at the bottom.
The pack's secret is in the tensioned, trampoline-style suspension system. A taut mesh wall separates your back from the pack—as opposed to the usual foam padding most packs use—which allows incredible ventilation and helps with weight distribution. I've never worn a pack so light that can comfortably carry a 40-pound load. It's an extraordinary bit of engineering.
The Exos is fairly minimalist. It's a top-loader with just the one access point. You get a floating lid with the usual pockets, which is easily removable to lessen weight. Sleeping pad straps and thin compression straps at the sides help with lashing things to the pack, and you get a loop for trekking poles, but I've never found that made much sense to use. For you alpinists out there, yes, there's an ice axe loop too.
A MASSIVE mesh pocket at the front of the back will hold pretty much anything. You could probably fit a side of beef in there if you were so inclined. I've yet to find that pocket's breaking point. The side water bottle pockets are stretchy mesh too, and feature two openings, one of which points forward so you can pull a bottle of water out without having to pop your shoulder out of socket to reach around behind yourself.
The pack's fabric is lightweight, but I've yet to tear it. The compression straps are spaghetti-thin, but I've yet to break one. The shoulder harness is light, but with just enough padding; same with the hip belt. I've used it on on frigid winter hut trips, and baking hot low elevation foothill trips, and it's shined in every possible environment. Osprey managed to save a ton of weight, but also produce a pack that a novice backpacker could use in comfort without having to sacrifice anything a heavier pack offers.
If you're just getting into ultralight backpacking, the Exos is an awesome choice. It's robust enough to port all your non-quite ultralight gear, but also is light enough to motivate you to upgrade some of your heavier components. If you're already a dedicated ultra lighter but want a pack that might handle a bigger load, say with heavier winter gear, or a week-long trip with a big food bill, the Exos is your bag.
Does the Exos have the ultralight cool-factor of packs from ULA or Gossamer Gear? Probably not. But for my money, it's a more functional bag than most ultralight/lightweight packs, and the extra weight you can carry with it makes it more versatile.
My wife's favorite pack is the ULA Catalyst, and she gets way more "hey, cool pack" chatter at trailheads than I do ($260).
The REI Flash 65 is a little larger than the Exos, and weighs about a half pound more, but it's light, durable, and only $199.
For a minimalist, lightweight pack that weighs about the same as the Exos, and can still handle loads in the mid-30 pound range, the Granite Gear Blaze AC 60 is a voluminous top-loader that is light on features but super comfortable.

but you wanna run from your selfell there is
it was an perplexuous situation
one i would not wish on
any human being
as i stood before the seat
of karmic judgment
i was forced to look reflectively
at my own experiential-ness
retribution was mine to exact
upon my lesser self
the years and times flashed before me
and i had to answer
for each fleeting moment
of my life
my actions
my thoughts
my wishes
and all the misgivings
i ever conjured from nothingness
to something-ness
most of what i saw
had no validity
nor purpose
i saw my vanities
my disdain
my indifference
and my lack of compassion
in times . . .
when it was such an easy thing
to give
i was also allowed to visit
the well of abundant love
that i always knew
resided in me
and i saw my small selfish self
holding on
hoarding it
like it was a treasure
and i saw the measure
of my smallness
more or less
the gift is in giving
i always knew this
but never the less
i must confess
i did not
when i had the ability
to do so
so in the end
and summation of things
it was i that suffered
as my soul was buffered
cloaked with shadows
of my own consciousness
that refused
to let loose
and share
my sovereign fare
and cares
like the wonderful lights
we were created to be
in the image
this all happened
in the flash of stillness
where time had no import
that fleeting millisecond
felt like a million years
i saw tears in the souls of friends
and i offered no respite
nor comfort
nor now
and somehow
my own inner anguish
though not cute
was quite acute
know that it is never cute
when we delude ourselves
into believing
we are not a part of
the continual fabric
of Creation's continuum flow
and this i know
and have come back to tell
whatever hell there is
it is in you
waiting for you
to continue the venue
of walking towards it
or away
the way to our ascension
is calling us
with each breath
each heart beat
with a repleteness
that will more or less
fulfill this quest
of what we were sent here to do
do you hear it
don't fear it
for fear is what
they want you to do
live your lesser you
that they may be glorified
so love
offer a hand
any damn time you can
and when you can't
let it become your intent
for we were meant to be
the Creators
the Progenitors
of the path we travel
and thus we can avoid
those perplexuous situations
where there is no way out
but you wanna run from your self
© 20 September 2012 : William S. Peters, Sr.
ell there is
it is in you
waiting for you
to walk towards ithe

Poppy and Toby
My Poppy is the best. He is strong and kind and generous. I'm sure I must be his favorite grandchild, or maybe he is just good at making me feel that. His best friend is a small fluffy dog named Toby who loves a good car ride. One day I made an excuse to visit by bringing old cameras. The first few are from a Nikon FG + Tmax400. The next few are Yashica Mat + delta 3200 and the last three are Holga + delta 3200.
The next two were Yashica Mat and Delta 3200 developed in Xtol. A grainy combination!

I've been thinking about grandmothers lately. Both of mine are passed away and I miss them. When I start deep thinking I become generous . . . Anyone who calls me before midnight tonight to book a session with a grandmother gets a complimentary hand printed 8x10 fibre print. A great grandmother gets an 11x14. ;)

Bradley Kilgore began his restaurant life by cutting biscuits while working as a dishwasher. Later, he started Alter, his first restaurant; and, in 2016 and 2017, won a James Beard Award. Today, he is chef-owner of Kilgore Culinary Group, which operates several restaurants.
As chef at Alter, Kilgore has twice been a semifinalist for a James Beard Award as Rising Star Chef of the Year, in 2016 and 2017. This year, he is a semfinalist for the James Beard Award in the category Best Chef: South.
His background includes stints at Chicago restaurants Alinea, L2O with Laurent Gras, and Epic. In Miami, Kilgore established his growing reputation at the restaurants Azul and Jean-Georges Vongerichten's J&G Grill before opening Alter.
He answered some questions for Florida Food & Farm's Tastemakers series.
Question: Tell us about your first kitchen experience.
Answer: My first kitchen experience was cutting biscuits while working as a dishwasher at the Sante Fe Cafe in Kansas City.
Q: What is your favorite kitchen tool and why?
A: A Japanese chef's knife, because of the long-lasting edge on the blade.
Q: Describe yourself in three words.
A: Driven, engaging, curious.
Q: As a chef working in Florida, what do you get most excited about?
A: There are always new people who are in town that come into the restaurants, and I enjoy listening to their stories and sharing our creations with them.
Q: What are some of the local farms you work with?
A: Harpke Family Farm and the Little River Cooperative.
Q: Who has helped you get to the place you are now?
My wife, Soraya Kilgore. We met in culinary school and have been together for the past 14 years. She has supported me throughout my entire journey.
Q: How would you describe the local chef community — and how are you involved?
Although chefs are naturally very competitive, the Miami chef scene is supportive of each other because we all wish for the local culinary scene to grow.
Q: Back to your restaurant — why should we love the restaurant, and what are you doing there that's truly unique to the restaurant and to you as a chef?
A: All of my restaurants (Alter, Kaido, Brava, and Ember opening in May) are each very unique to themselves are designed for you to enjoy at different times in your life. We are always trying to be creative and offer new experiences.
Q: Is there anything on your agenda that we should know about?
A: The wood-fired concept I've been dreaming about for a decade, called Ember, which will be opening in a few weeks in Miami's Design District, right below Kaido.

Match Report By Kevin Corrigan : Tullamore Tribune
St Rynagh's .................................1-10
Ferbane/Belmont .........................1-8
A MINOR Football Championship semi-final of heart warming intensity and quality ended with St Rynagh's edging out Ferbane/Belmont by two points in Doon on Saturday last. This was a really enjoyable game of football as both sides gave it everything they had and they produced some very good football as well to put the icing on the cake. The shame was that there had to be a loser and for much of the game, a draw was a distinct possibility but St Rynagh's edged through to the final against Rhode thanks to a very efficient second half.
St Rynagh's were in trouble at half time as they trailed by 1-6 to 0-6 and Ferbane/Belmont were full value for their interval lead. In the second half, however, Ferbane/Belmont began to flounder as they could only manage two points and a brilliant goal from Niall Wynne after eleven minutes put St Rynagh's on the road to victory. It was nip and tuck after this and the game was very neatly poised when F/B sub, Eoin Lowry's brilliantly struck '45' levelled it up at 1-8 each with eight minutes left. It could have went either way but with Pat Camon now in unstoppable mode at midfield, St Rynagh's had the wind in their sails and late points from Stephen Quirke and Derek Loonam got them across the finish line.
It was a close run thing though and it would not have been any big travesty of justice had the result went the other way. In particular, F/B were incensed at a number of decisions that went against them in the second half and while referee, Mick Coughlan had an okay game, even Rynagh's supporters admitted afterwards that the referee didn't do them 'any harm'. The entertainment value in this game was very high and full credit is due to both sides for the manner in which they approached it and went about their business. They played football with an honesty and intent that was refreshing to watch and some of the passing movements, catching and kicking and score taking was top drawer stuff.
The St Rynagh's defence was often stretched in the first half but stuck manfully to their task and eventually got to grips with it in the second half with Alan Camon and Joseph O'Connor anchoring the back seven very well. Pat Camon was outstanding at midfield and he really drove his side on to victory. In the first half, the impressive Ciaran Cahill gave F/B a foothold at midfield but Camon was the lord of all he surveyed in the second half and was the single biggest reason, Rynagh's advanced to the final while Alan Kelly gave good support.
In the Rynagh's attack, Niall Wynne got little change out of a dominant F/B full back, Conor Lowry but really prospered when moved to the corner and his goal was the difference. Stephen Quirke and Derek Loonam also impressed in a hard working attack. F/B have made great strides at underage football level in the past couple of years and this was a very fine side. Conor Lowry and Darragh Corbett were outstanding in defence, Ciaran Cahill had a great first half at midfield while George Digan had his moments and in a lively attack, Declan Cooney, Joe Maher and Aaron McDonagh all caused problems but were not as troublesome in the second half.
The first half was a hugely entertaining affair. Rynagh's drew first blood with a Niall Wynne frree but F/B soon settled and points from Jo0e Maher (Free), Brian Grehan and Darragh Corbett had them two points up by the sixth minute. Derek Loonam halved the deficit but points from Declan Cooney and Joe Maher (Free) made it 0-5 to 0-2 after ten minutes. Rynagh's improved after this with Stephen Quirke pointing while Rory Wynne drew a good save from Darren Digan when he really should have goaled. A Niall Wynne goal shot was also blocked before Sean Kenny kicked a very good point for the winners.
A lovely point from Declan Cooney kept F/B motoring along nicely and in the 26th minute, Aaron McDonagh got in for a goal after a great Ciaran Cahill catch and delivery. Points from Pat Camon and Niall Wynne (Free) left Rynagh's trailing by 1-6 to 0-6 at half time. The second half was not quite as open but the entertainment level remained high. Stephen Quirke got an early point for Rynagh's and F/B missed a great chance when Declan Cooney's shot was smothered by Conor Cleary.
In the 11th minute, St Rynagh's made the breakthrough they needed when Pat Camon sent in the ball, Niall |Wynne interchanged with Derek Loonam and then drove a brilliant shot to the net to give them the lead. Eoin Lowry quickly equalised with a free and the game was in the balance. A Niall Wynne free edged Rynagh's back in front, Eoin Lowry equalised from a '45' and closing points from Stephen Quirke and Derek Loonam sealed a memorable win for Rynagh's.
The scorers
St Rynagh's: Niall Wynne 1-3 (Three frees), Stephen Quirke 0-3, Derek Loonam 0-2, Pat Camon and Sean Kenny 0-1 each.
Ferbane/Belmont: Aaron McDonagh 1-0, Declan Cooney, Joe Maher (Frees) and Eoin Lowry (Free and '45') 0-2 each, Darragh Corbett and Brian Grehan 0-1 each.
The teams
ST RYNAGH'S: Conor Cleary; Conor Daly, Alan Camon, Alan Smith; Ethan Mannion, Joseph O'Connor, Simon Og Lyons; Pat Camon, Alan Kelly; David Fogarty, Sean Kenny, Derek Loonam; Rory Wynne, Niall Wynne, Stephen Quirke.

Debate Continues Over Bill on Administration of Seizure Drug in Schools
Debate persists over a bill (SB 161), by Sen. Robert Huff (R-Diamond Bar), that would let non-medical school employees administer the anti-seizure medication Diastat, the AP/San Jose Mercury News reports.
The legislation will be reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Appropriations next week.
Details of the Bill
SB 161 would allow school districts to participate voluntarily in a program to train non-medical personnel on how to administer the drug to students who experience an epileptic attack.
According to a legislative analysis, $10 million would be needed for schools to implement the measure. The cost would cover training, development of individualized health plans and record keeping.
Opposition to the Bill
Nurses and teachers have argued that only a licensed professional should administer Diastat.
Bonnie Castillo, government relations director for the California Nurses Association, said that the drug is "very dangerous" and "can cause cessation of breathing," adding that "only a trained individual can make an assessment that would require this medication."
Dolores Duran-Flores, a legislative advocate for the California School Employees Association, said that administering the drug while handling a student who is having a seizure goes beyond the scope of what should be required for non-medical personnel.
Support of the Bill
Proponents of the bill point to support from medical associations that say Diastat is safe to administer with few adverse effects.
Supporters of the bill are seeking to have Diastat be treated like other emergency medications that are administered to students experiencing an allergy attack or severe hypoglycemia.
According to the AP/Mercury News, parents of children with epilepsy want the assurance that their child can receive a lifesaving medication even if a school nurse is not available (Kumar, AP/San Jose Mercury News, 8/21).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

Hi there-- my 8 month old yellow lab is not wild about water. We have a large inground swimming pool, and she won't come anywhere near it. We've tried coaxing her in with treats and by throwing her favorite toys in, but she still runs right up to the edge and then stops. We've taken her to the beach a few times, and she has just started to wade in maybe up to her knees-- but as for the pool-- no way, no how.
I don't want to force her in because I don't want it to backfire on me and have her be more afraid of the pool then she already is. My mistake for thinking labs take naturally to the water.
Any suggestions on how to get my dog to love the pool (or at least not be afraid of it)??
Have you tried getting her to come in while you're in the pool? Some labs are unsure of water at first. I don't have a pool and all our watersports are done at lakes and ponds. Maggie was hesitant at first and would just walk around on the shores edge. I went in a couple of times and called her and she came in deeper but still wouldn't swim. I was throwing bumpers for my other lab, Daisy, and after a few retrieves Maggie couldn't stand being left out of the fun and dove right in. I actually created monsters, I swim them 2 to 3 times a week and it still not enough! I'm considering a houseboat!
The Constitution is suppose to guarantee everyone the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but the Constitution does not guarantee everyone equal outcomes.
Some people are more talented, educated, thieving and dishonest than others.
I tried for the first 5 years of Buddy's life. I gave up.
He avoids puddles in the street.
Good luck
Do you have a friend with a dog that could come to your pool? My Dexter wasn't crazy about the water until he was with other dogs that were swimming. Now, I can't keep him out of it.
Oh my gosh, Pam, I thought I was the only one with a Lab who hates water! We got Buddy a kiddie pool and he will not get in it. I have been able to coax him to actually step in with all four feet - but he steps right back out again. Even when he's panting like crazy with this horrible heat, and his black coat is actually hot to the touch, he ain't having any part of that water.Originally Posted by PAM
Maybe it's the name?
Jackie, Champ, and Buddy
Nellie loves the beach but will not go in a pool. Several years ago I took her to Linda's (lcspt) house to swim in her pool. It took all day to coax her in with a tennis ball. when she finally went in she forgot where the stairs were and climbed out tearing a dew claw to the quick. We'll see what happens when I get to California. My son has a swimming pool and maybe she'll swim there.
Oh, Pam-- that's funny!! I'm comforted to hear I don't have the only lab who's afraid of water. Just not her thing, I guess. We'll keep encouraging her, but I'm not holding my breath
Maggie will go into the water only if she can still touch the bottom. Once she realizes she is "swimming", she freaks out. But she loves to float on a raft.
Finn is almost 7 months old and will get in the kiddie pool but would not get in the creek. He hasn't seen a big pool yet but it doesn't look like he is going to be a swimmer either.
Our Max was also hesitant with the pool at first. We tried giving him his favorite treat in the pool but still did not go in. I think it took him about 3 weeks of us coaching him to go in but I think the thing that made him go in was I bought him a new pool toy. My son threw the toy in the pool and next thing we know he was going in the pool slowly. After that...he loves the pool! Every time he sees the boys with their swim trunks on he gets very excited. I guess it just takes time...and find something that will make him go in the pool. Good luck!
You are definitely not alone having a lab who is afraid of water or in Lexi's case the pool.
What has me most perplexed about Lexi is she is fine running through puddles, in the creek by my parents house and playing in her baby pool. I try to get her into the inground pool at Susan's (Weheartlabs)... no way, no how!!! I've tried luring her in with treats, with little bits of people food, her favorite toy, etc. to no avail. Not even seeing Aidan & Emma (Susan), Elias (Sam), Beau (Shelia), Reggie (Jean), Abby (Pat), etc. swimming at LabFest a few weeks ago could get her in. My mother swears its because she is like her grandmother and does not like water where she can not touch bottom.
Susan's husband Jeff even tried taking her in the jacuzzi first to see if a smaller area would be an easier transition. I did get her in a few times, but I had the bruises and scrapes to show for it.
I am going to try again tomorrow night. Maybe a little bit of filet mignon from Sunday's dinner will be enough enticement to get her in. We shall see.
My pretty girl, Lexi!

How Do You Read
A few questions before posting my dream.
When reading the Bible, do you believe what you read or read what you believe?
Do you Fear a God who has the power to cast both physical body and soul into an eternal he'll from whence there's no escape?
Now to my dream.
I had a dream where I saw a church completed with pews and pulpit. I saw a congregation seated ready to hear a sermon. I saw the preacher standing at the pulpit ready to give it. However, this is where things were different. In back of the pulpit where one would normally see a Cross there was instead a large golden calf. I watched the preacher turn from facing the congregation towards the calf. The calf had a door in its side that the preacher opened and inside it contained what looked like a Bible which the preacher took out and began to preach to the congregation from.
Think of the characteristics of the golden calf.
It has no life in it nor can it impart life.
It can't see
It can't hear
It can't speak
It can't do anything.
Does this sound familiar?
Exo 32:1 — Exo 32:9
The Gold Calf
32 Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him." And Aaron said to them, "Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf.
Then they said, "This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!"
So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord." Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Notice that the people contributed to the making of the golden calf. Jesus said where your heart is there is also your treasure.
Aaron fashioned the golden calf from the golden jewelry received from the Israelites.
Then, after seeing the people's reaction to it built an altar to it and declared, "tomorrow is a feast to the Lord".
It states that after the people brought their offerings they rose up to play which means that they had an orgy.
I will go back to what I asked at the beginning of my post. Does it strike terror in your heart to realize that God can cast both body and soul into hell .
Or, is the "god", you serve one made by human hands whom you do not have to worry about leading a sinful life because it doesn't see what you do, hear what you say, and cannot speak so as to correct you or take action to discipline you.
I will end with the following quotes from A.W. Tozer
"Any objection to the evangelistic methods of our present golden-calf Christianity, is met with the triumphant reply, "But we are winning the lost!"
And what are you winning them to?
To true discipleship?
To cross-carrying?
To self-denial?
To separation from the world?
To crucifixion of the flesh?
To holy living?
To nobility of character?
To a despising of the world's treasures?
To total committal to Christ?
Of course, the answer to all these questions is NO!"
A.W. Tozer
Let us beware that the Jesus we "accept" is not one we have created out of the dust of our imagination and formed after our own likeness.
A.W. Tozer

The local convenience has regular gasoline listed as 3.19 ($3.19) on one side of the sign out front. The other side says 31.9. That sign has been that way for more than a week, and, as far as I know, no one has complained or mentioned it.
Unfortunately, the gas costs $3.19 a gallon at the pump. I know. I wish, however, that the other side of the sign, with 31.9 cents on it, was right.
Update: The price has gone up to $3.25 on one side of the side, and it's 32.9 on the other side.

Before end of March there will be something, says minister amid SABC woes
PARLIAMENT - The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) was heading for factual insolvency by the end of March and hoping for emergency funding from National Treasury to be allocated within the next two weeks, management and Communications Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams said on Tuesday.
"Before the end of March there will be something," the minister told journalists at the close of a briefing to Parliament's portfolio committee on communications.
Ndabeni-Abrahams said at this stage it was not clear how much funding would be forthcoming from the National Treasury, recalling that the public broadcaster had asked for recapitalisation of R6.8 billion. That request has not been approved because the entity first needs to update its turnaround plan.
CEO Madod Mxakwe told MPs the SABC would hit factual insolvency at the end of the month and report a net loss of R568 million for the current financial year. The loss was R281 million more than anticipated.
Mxakwe said the company was suffering for "the past total disregard for process" it saw under previous management teams.
The consequences of the financial crisis included content providers refusing to interact with the SABC because they have not been paid, and the company not being able to purchase the rights to air sporting events.
Chief financial officer Yolande van Biljon said it also meant that the SABC had not been able to perform maintenance on its buildings and as result sections of the roof at its Auckland Park headquarters were caving in.
Van Biljon said the company was running its finances "literally on a day-to-day" basis but it has been prioritising paying salaries, which comes to about R240 million a month.
She said should National Treasury avail funding by the end of the month to tide the SABC over, it will be able to pay salaries. The request was not for payroll requirements but the funding forthcoming would service debt, freeing up other cash to pay staff.

#PoundTheStone has been the hashtag attached to Auburn softball's social media posts throughout the season. Yet, the Tigers have done anything but that since entering conference play. The hitting has progressively deteriorated to the point that Auburn is almost completely unrecognizable at the plate. Along the way, Auburn's record has dipped to 10–11 after losing three straight series. And, the Tigers haven't won a series at home since the first SEC trio of games against Texas A&M back on March 15th.
To say the 2019 SEC schedule results thus far have been a disappointment would be putting it mildly. Although the Tigers won the series against Tennessee in Knoxville, they have dropped series to Kentucky and South Carolina. Two years ago that scenario would have been deemed unfathomable by a Clint Myers-led squad.
Even the series loss against Florida this weekend isn't acceptable because this Florida squad is a far cry from the typical, perennial Top 10 Gator teams. The lone thing Florida has going for it is all-world pitcher Kelly Barnhill, who has been a stud pitcher for Florida for four years. The Gators aren't the same at the plate or the field nor is Barnhill quite the same as she was because there is no relief pitcher or part-time starter to spell her.
However, she completely dominated Auburn over the weekend, despite the Tigers taking a win in game two. While only scoring three runs all weekend, two runs were enough to win Saturday's game two after the Gators smoked Auburn 7–0 in game one. Barnhill was perfect in game-one's no hitter. She gave up three free passes but tallied ten strikeouts. The Gator defense stood tall behind her, having no errors.
Ashlee Swindle got the game-one start, a role she assumed after Makayla Martin's injury. She's allowed at least four runs in those opening games and has given up seven runs in the last two games. Of course, the story is about Auburn's bats, which remained ice-cold. There is nothing else that can be said other than Barnhill was hot, Auburn's bats were not, and Florida made the most of its scoring opportunities.
The lone bright spot was game-two's walk-off, 10 inning win. Chardonnay Harris went the distance, piling up 17 strikeouts. She allowed just one run and five hits, a stat which is simply astounding. Harris now has a 1.10 ERA, second only to Makayla Martin, whose postseason availability is looking more and more doubtful.
In game two, with the winning run on third base, Florida's coaching staff elected to intentionally walk Kendall Veach to get to Casey McCrackin. The move backfired when McCrackin hit a deep sacrifice fly ball that scored pinch runner Makenna Dowell from third for a walk-off win.
However, the situation wasn't without drama. Florida appealed that Veach, not Dowell, had left early (which she had) and had failed to tag up. The ball made its way to first base to double off Veach and provide the third out of the inning. Of course, the ruling favored Auburn as Dowell had scored well before the third out. Still, it was a serious base-coaching error, and one that should never have put the game in jeopardy.
Game three's rubber match included yet another head-scratching call by second-year coach Mickey Dean. After Lexi Handley got the start, she performed as she's done almost every time she's seen the circle. She immediately walked the first hitter, air mailed a wild pitch, and walked two more before Dean put Swindle into the game. And, just as it has happened time and time again, the opposing offense took Swindle to the woodshed. This time with the bases loaded and a 1–1 count, Florida's Roberts pounded the stone to center. Auburn was out of the game in the first inning, and Florida went on to take the series.
There are some troubling things afoot for Auburn softball. The Tigers are in serious jeopardy to fail to host a regional with only a series against Arkansas ahead, which is shocking. If that happens, Auburn will have failed for two straight years to host regional play while hosting super-regionals was the norm under Myers.
Obviously, pitching has been an issue for the Tigers. Teams have shelled Ashlee Swindle in game one of multiple series. Dean continues to go to Lexi Handley, whose control issues are mystifying for a college player. Meanwhile, Harris has been impressive yet unable to earn multiple appearances.
The Tigers close out the regular season in Fayetteville this weekend. First pitch will be at 6:00 p.m. on the Auburn Sports Radio Network with ESPNU broadcasting Saturday's 5:00 p.m. game.

A teenager falsely claimed to have been hired by Google at a package of Rs 1.44 crore, prompting the Chandigarh Education Department to hold an inquiry into the matter.
GMSSS principal Indra Beniwal told , "I have submitted all the necessary documents and proof to the Director, Education who has ordered an inquiry."
Harshit Sharma who completed 12th standard with IT stream from government school last year, hogged the limelight after claiming to have been hired by tech giant for graphic designing.
Public Relations Department, Chandigarh Administration, had on July 29 even issued an official release about it after the school principal sent the department Sharma's "achievement" details.
However, his claims were found to be fake after Google reportedly denied hiring him.
"Harshit's parents have accepted that their son has committed a mistake", Beniwal said.
However she said the school authorities should have verified before sending his details to the department for issuing press note.
She said the UT education department has ordered an inquiry into the matter.
Beniwal said she was not able to talk to Sharma.
"His mother told me that he was advised by doctors take rest as he was unwell," she said.
The press note issued by the department had said, "A student of GMSSS-33D, Chandigarh, Class 12 (IT) stream, Harshit, has been selected for graphic designing by Google. He will be trained for graphic designing for an initial period of one year and will receive a stipend of Rs 4 lakh per month."
"After completion of his training he will get a remuneration of Rs 12 lakh per month. He went for an online interview through video conferencing and was selected on the basis of posters designed by him while studying in class 12 under the supervision of his teachers," it had said.
"His achievements will act as a morale booster for other students and they will be inspired to make forays into this field," the release had said.

Hearing somebody say the term "chocolate" is the worst nightmare a dieter can have. The simple act of just listening to it makes you yearn a whole slab. Blame it on the smooth and delicious way the word rolls in your mouth, none of it is your fault. Chocolate has accomplished its task of imprisoning the entire world.
There is no staying off something that is chocolate based, regardless of if it is a chocolate milkshake, a chocolate bar or even a chocolate dessert. It brings smiles to anybody who savours it, especially if it is something special such as the most famous Mexican chocolate. The unique and rich flavour makes the Mexican chocolate distinctive and most desirable. There is no end to the means in which it can be used, be it baked goods or regular dishes. It appears as powders, syrups, and bars. Using it is at your discretion. Put in in your milkshake, and you will be addicted, that's a guarantee. The Mexican chocolate, in its purest form, is not very sweet; in fact, it used to be sour initially. The sweetness comes from adding sweeteners which bring out the outstanding taste.
Bringing together roasted and ground cacao nibs, sugar, and cinnamon the typical Mexican chocolate is combined with flavours from spices such as allspice and nutmeg. Adding a bit of chilli along with nuts is another weird specialty. The cocoa butter gives it a creamy yet granular texture. People still associate the Mexican chocolate with cinnamon and vanilla. The most regular use of this combo is in the Mexican chocolate sauce and cake. It is a well-known fact that these dishes are not of Mexican origin, yet one still interprets that they are authentically Mexican.
What is With the Chili Pepper Chocolate?
The most authentic Mexican combination seems to have a lot of spice in it. Yes, hot peppers and chocolate are a combination used in Mexico since time immemorial. Traditionally, dishes prepared by the Mexicans including chocolate always contained hot peppers in the mix. In the modern world the spicy chocolate bark, vegan Mexican chocolate cake and the Aztec truffles are all a huge hit.
The Chocolate de Mesa is a hot chocolate drink which is comfort-food to a Mexican. It is a concoction of cacao nibs toasted and ground with almonds, cinnamon and sugar, along with additional spices. The solid pieces of this concoction are produced by pouring the semi-liquid into moulds and cooling. This is how the Chocolate de Mesa is bought from a store, after which it needs to be broken and added to milk to enjoy the drink in all its glory.
With all the critical acclamation, the Mexican chocolate may not be getting its due credit. This may be because of the overwhelming, and strong taste that many people are used to. The coarseness may be to blame as well. When you ingest a piece of Mexican chocolate, its nothing like what your taste buds are accustomed to, the grainy texture may be too much for the unsuspecting palate initially, especially, a loving chocolate fan.

Protect Your Assets with Insurance- Part 1
Every day, people are exposed to risks which can cause a financial loss. Accidents, property damage, illness, disability, and even death are risks they need to consider. Without a risk management plan, people often have to go into debt or use funds set aside for other financial goals in the event of a financial loss. Below are four insurance recommendations:
Insure Against Large Potential Losses- Purchase insurance for large financial risks that could deplete your savings or future earnings. This includes at least $300,000 ($500,000 is better) of liability coverage on property insurance policies to cover the risk of court judgments resulting from an accident at your home or with your car and disability insurance to protect against the loss of income due to illness or injury.
Consider Life Insurance– Purchase life insurance if you have dependents who would suffer financially if you died. Another good candidate for life insurance is a young adult without dependents whose parents co-signed private student loans which are not forgiven in the event of death. An online life insurance calculatoror worksheetcan be used to determine the amount of life insurance coverage that is needed.
Protect Real and Personal Property- Purchase property insurance with a replacement cost rider on personal property to replace items at their current cost up to the policy limit. Otherwise, only the actual cash value after depreciation will be reimbursed in the event of a loss.
Build Relationships– Establish an ongoing relationship with one or more insurance professionals who can provide a periodic review of coverage and information about available cost-saving options such as discounts for military service and short commutes and "bundling" of auto and homeowners insurance.

I said I would give away another Gourdie-Do and that's what I am going to do! I haven't given the first one away yet, can't track down Lorraine! The little darling must be busy making her cute dollies!
I found Jessica outside playing in this unseasonably cool weather, enjoy it while we can. She saw the box and camera in my hands and knew what her LinLin wanted her to do. When she grows up I bet she will be in the "Business", as the camera loves her and she loves the camera!
Shaken that box!
The lucky number is..............32!
That would be Laurie of Monkey-Cats Studio!
Hummm, you think Laurie would go for a swap? Love her little Monkey-Cats!
What a great time I had! Meeting new bloggers and making great friends!
Thank you all for playing with Gourdqueen!!!!!!!!!!!
