Sorry, this item is temporarily out of stock.
Since 1785. Grown, milled and produced in Ireland. Enjoy the taste of Ireland's favorite oatmeal. Imported. Easy to cook in 3 minutes. Ireland's No. 1 oatmeal. What makes Flahavan's oatmeal taste so good? The answer is simple - tradition. At the Flahavan family mill in Co. Waterford, we have over 200 years expertise in milling oats. Our oats are grown and harvested locally and produced in small batches to capture the rich, delicious flavor that is our original Irish oatmeal. What's the difference? Our taste is the difference. Our whole grain oats are grown locally by Irish farmers. At harvest time each year, we take in our new season's oats at the mill, drying and storing them with special care for the year ahead. Our unique way of milling is what gives our oats their full rich texture, sealing in the natural aroma and giving our oatmeal its distinctive creamy taste. This is why we're Ireland's favorite oatmeal. Make breakfast naturally healthy and special. When we eat well, we feel good - it's as simple as that. Oats are full of natural goodness. Oats are naturally low in saturated fat and are a good source of fiber. 3 grams of soluble fiber from oatmeal daily in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. Flahavan's Irish Oatmeal contains 1 gram of soluble fiber per serving. Environmentally friendly production. Flahavan's Irish Oatmeal is produced at the family mill with an environmentally friendly approach. We begin by recycling the outer shell of the oats to generate energy used by the kiln. We also use water from the original millstream on the River Mahon to generate electricity to power the mill. This box is made from cardboard that is 100% recyclable. - John Flahavan.

On March 15, Nasdaq resubmitted its "golden leash" disclosure proposal to the SEC. As discussed in this Pubco post, the proposal, which originally was rejected on technical grounds, relates to third-party compensation of directors in connection with their candidacy for or service on company boards. These "golden leash" arrangements are most common in connection with board nominations (either through negotiation or proxy contest) by hedge fund activists. The resubmission, which indicates that the proposed rule would be effective on June 30, 2016, adds some gloss to the initial filing.
The proposal arises out of Nasdaq's concern that third-party compensation of directors may not always be publicly disclosed. While there is no set format for these arrangements, they may include compensation conditioned on achievement of specified benchmarks, such as an increase in share price over a fixed term. Nasdaq fears that these arrangements "may lead to conflicts of interest among directors[,] call into question the directors' ability to satisfy their fiduciary duties [and] tend to promote a focus on short-term results at the expense of long-term value creation. Nasdaq believes that enhancing transparency around third-party board compensation would help address these concerns and would benefit investors by making available information potentially relevant to investment and voting decisions."
Nasdaq's proposal would require listed companies to publicly disclose third-party compensation of directors on or through companies' websites or proxy statements under proposed new Rule 5250(c). The resubmission notes that the requirement could be satisfied initially by a filing under Item 5.02(d)(2) of Form 8-K Item if the disclosure identifies the material terms of the arrangement and the 8-K is posted on the company's website. However, the proposed Nasdaq rule would also require annual disclosure because the company's disclosure obligation under the proposed rule would be continuous and would terminate at the earlier of the resignation of the director or one year following the termination of the arrangement. Nasdaq advises that the proposed rule is "intended to be construed broadly" to all forms of compensation, including health insurance premiums, and would require, minimally, identification of the parties to and the material terms of the arrangement.
The proposed rule would not apply to previously existing and disclosed arrangements such as, the resubmission indicates, an agreement with a nominee for director employed "by a private equity fund where employees are expected to and routinely serve on the boards of the fund's portfolio companies and their remuneration is not materially affected by such service. If such a director or a nominee's remuneration is materially increased in connection with such person's candidacy or service as a director of the company, only the difference between the new and the previous level of compensation needs to be disclosed under the proposed rule." Similarly, whether or not previously disclosed, an agreement that would only reimburse expenses incurred in connection with candidacy as a director would not require disclosure. And, in connection with a proxy contest, if the arrangement were disclosed under Item 5(b) of the proxy rules, the proposal would not require duplicative initial disclosure, but would require disclosure thereafter on an annual basis.
Interestingly, footnote 9 (previously footnote 5), remains largely intact. That footnote indicates that Nasdaq is considering whether to propose additional requirements regarding third-party payments to directors and candidates, including whether these directors should be prohibited from being considered independent under Nasdaq rules or prohibited from serving on the board altogether. The resubmission adds that a proposal on this topic, if any, would be made in a separate rule filing. The resubmission also notes that, under the subjective prong of the definition of independent director, any "individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director" is not considered to be independent. Implicit in this addition to the footnote is the view that, even if Nasdaq elects not to seek to enhance the definition of independence in this regard, directors may already be obligated to consider this type of third-party payment when assessing director independence.

As the saying goes, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" but for those rare people who are allergic to apples this statement is completely fallacious.
Although quite rare, an allergic reaction to apples is quite real and people who suffer this often display the following symptoms:
Symptoms of apple allergy
- itchy throat or mouth
- swollen lips or throat
- stomach discomfort and cramps
- rash or hives
- diarrhea
Some people have a severe allergic reaction to apples that they can experience anaphylaxis, which can be fatal if not treated right away.
Symptoms of anaphylaxis are as follows:
- difficulty breathing
- wheezing
- confusion
- swollen throat
- swelling in and around the mouth
- difficulty in swallowing
- nausea
- low pulse
People who experience the symptoms above should be administered with an epinephrine shot immediately otherwise they might go into shock and die.
Causes of apple allergy
As with most allergies, people who are allergic to apples have an immune system that deems apples as a threat therefore they produce histamine to combat the foreign substance.
What happens in your body is that your immune system releases immunoglobulin E (IgE) and this IgE attaches itself to mast cells, which can be found all over your body but are more concentrated in your nose, throat, lungs, skin and the gastrointestinal tract (GI).
That is why most people who have food allergies often experience diarrhea after ingesting an allergen.
There are two variations of apple allergy:
- An allergy to a protein in the apple that can also be found in peaches
- An allergy to a protein in the apple that can also be found in birch tree pollen
Those who are also allergic to peaches often experience a severe allergic reaction to apples, while those who are allergic to birch tree pollen have milder symptoms after ingesting an apple and they often only display allergic reactions in and around the mouth.
Also, those who are allergic to birch tree pollen are likely to have respiratory allergies as well and could have hay fever too.
Treatment of apple allergy
Most physicians will advise patients to simply avoid eating apples as a way of treating this condition. Although, when apples are cooked the cooking process could alter the proteins in the fruit therefore it will no longer pose as a threat to the patient.
But before trying this out it's important to consult your physician first and have yourself checked thoroughly to see the extent of your allergy to apples.

What makes a good blogger?
WelI I suppose it's all a bit subjective but in technical terms, probably not me…I'm a sporadic poster & can't seem to find the inspiration to write easily if I've nothing pertinent to say ( I can hear Amar now wishing the same were true for the spoken word!) and with spare time being a luxury, I tend to sketch draft copies while waiting somewhere – usually for Emma at singing lessons or just recently in the doctor's waiting room. Our new doctor isn't known for her punctuality & on my last visit I had to wait there for an hour & forty minutes! You could – and I very nearly did – write a whole post in that time!
Although I suppose a good blog would be easily found, I don't deliberately write to be favoured by Google but just as a way of keeping friends, family and guests in touch with what's going on at Les Crouquets.
In reality over the Winter most of the activity here is maintenance, admin and other such unsexy ( Is it ok to use that word? If not please replace with unexciting) stuff….there are only so many times you can write about how many shutters have now been painted. 18 and counting….
Even the gorgeous snow photos have begun to take on a repetitive feel…here's yet another one from Saturday morning when we really were expecting rain.
The title of this blog is "Tales From Our Dordogne Gites…a peek behind the scenes at our holiday cottages and life in rural France…." so I suppose the last bit does give me a fairly wide platform in terms of subject matter- in fact I have several posts which are in the drafts box, all just waiting for the fine tuning.
I'll get around to finishing them all when I can gather the facts & photos but today I'm digressing and writing about blogs.
This week I read an entry from Sue Scott's blog The Quince Tree. I first started reading Sue's blog last year when I discovered a single wild quince on a bush outside L'Atelier which I thought it was just a pretty shrub. My sister then happened to mention she'd seen a blog all about quinces and as we have a lovely big quince tree here too I just had to look it up. It's a great blog, very readable, wonderful photos & it's about so much more than quinces.
In Sue's post about blogging she suggests, among other things, that adding a list of blogs you like to your own blog is a good way of getting your news out there. I think it's an excellent idea and one I've decided to adopt ( Hope that's ok, Sue!).The Quince Tree will be on my list of course, as will Ed Vogues World. Ed is a regular guest at Les Crouquets (albeit under another guise!) & he has made it his challenge to write about something every day for a year. He's doing brilliantly – I doubt I could have dug deep enough or found enough time to keep that up!
With my decision made I can now see me spending many hours wading through other people's blogs to see which ones may complement mine…. I tend to favour blogs with not too much text in one block and lots of photos is a must. A picture really does paint a thousand words so even if you don't like the writing style you still have something good to look at!
I'll have even less time now for writing!

I can't live without is music. Take away television, social media, even books (just not the Bible). As long as I have access to music, I'm good. Thanks to my Mom, ever since I was younger, music has been a huge part of my life. In middle school, I would rush home to watch 106 & Park, TRL, and The Box Music Television. I would get in so much trouble ordering music videos on The Box. I also used to save up my ALL of my allowance just to purchase CDs and cassette tapes from Sam Goody. Talk about the good ol' days.
See Also: 23 Songs You Need on Your Workout Playlist
Fast forward many years, and my love for music still remains. While I can listen to just about any genre, my preferred genres are R&B, Smooth Jazz, and NeoSoul. These days I don't listen to the radio much, but I do get a healthy dose of my favorite genres thanks to Spotify and Apple Music. I've been listening to a lot of female artists more and more, and there are 5 albums and EP's that I have on heavy rotation. I believe these are currently some of the most underrated female albums & EP's. I can easily listen to each album or EP straight through, no skips. Granted some of their singles can (finally) be heard on the radio, but these artists deserve more play than just a 1 or 2 of their singles. Their work deserves to be celebrated and recognized.
1. (2014) VII (Delux) – Teyana Taylor
- The album itself is very grown and sexy and I'm here for it! Teyana's velvety soft and sultry voice has incredible range. The beats on this album are SICK, she delivers each song beautifully, and they each tell a story.
2. (2016) Change – Ella Mai
- I was first introduced to this British singer about a year ago, thanks to Sirius XM Radio. Signed to DJ Mustard's label, Ella Mai is another songstress who knows how to tell a story with her simple and memorable lyrics. Her sound is reminiscent of the classic 90's R&B days. So, of course, I'm a fan!
3. (2016) Lauren – Keke Palmer
- I've always been a fan of Keke, but when she dropped this EP I saw her in a different light. Gone are the Akeelah and the Bee days! Keke is all grown up, and she proves this to be true with each song. The songs are all different and like a true artist, Keke knows how to paint a picture through her vulnerable, fearless, and sometimes playful, lyrics. I also thoroughly enjoyed the visual EP, Lauren.
Lauren (Official Video, Explicit) by Keke Palmer on VEVO.
4. (2017) H.E.R. – H.E.R. Vol. 2– The B Side
- A little sultry, a little neo-soul, this album, from start to finish, is superb! This singer-songwriter delivers her soft and breathy lyrics effortlessly. It's very easy to get lost in her soothing voice.
5. (2018) Fate – Tammy Rivera
- Tammy teamed up with Executive Producer Rico Love to create this transparent and very well-produced EP. You can hear every emotion in Tammy's voice, and with each song comes a catchy hook. Her lyrics are honest and relatable, and while the beats are mostly slow to mid-tempo, they will definitely have you nodding your head back and forth.
Listen to some of these albums and EP's, plus a few other underrated female artists below.
So tell me, what do you think about these albums and EP's? Which female artists do you think are underrated? Let me know!
Thanks, as always, for reading and commenting and until next time, be blessed and stay safe.
Love & light…xo!

Meet the Blogger: Dawn Lucy Ross
This week, we are excited to introduce you to Dawn Lucy of the fabulous blog Fashion Should be Fun - Style Over 40. Dawn Lucy got into blogging because she wanted to create a blog for women her age that she would want to read, is uplifting and supportive, and is just plain fun! We think she has more than succeeded, and we are happy to have her in the Karina family. Read more below, and, as always, you can click on any of the photos to shop the Audrey dress she's wearing!
What do you do for work besides blogging?
I'm a high school English teacher. I love teaching and the kids are mostly great, but it is a seriously exhausting job sometimes.
What would an ideal Saturday look like for you?
An ideal Saturday would start with blogging time and coffee ... my favorite way to start the day. I would love time spent with my husband, maybe a day trip to Carmel, with shopping, eating, and exploring. Then home for play time with our dogs and cat.
How would you describe your personal style?
I'd say my personal style is modern classic with an edge. I like to add a bit of rocker chic or boho to a look to really make a look my own.
What's your next dream vacation?
My husband and I have created a travel list. We just got back from a fun trip to Puerto Vallarta. I think our next big trip will be New Zealand or Japan.

When it comes to hydraulics in the aerospace industry, it's critical to ensure your filtration system works at its best by using metal mesh filters. But suppose you're currently using fiberglass or paper filters for your hydraulics system. In that case, you could be causing particle contamination in the hydraulics system, leading to increased maintenance costs and more frequent failure rates.
For these reasons and more, Fluid Conditioning Products manufactures, tests, and produces the best metal mesh filters on the market. These hydraulic filters reduce contamination, won't degrade over time, and can handle extreme temperature ranges. Plus, if you're looking for a solution beyond stock parts, FCP can help create custom-engineered hydraulic filters and housing. Just contact us to learn more and request a quote!
The Problems with Fiberglass Hydraulic Filters
Fiberglass filters in the hydraulics system of an aerospace machine cause issues in the system. When the engine starts, it causes the filter to shake. This shaking releases glass particles into the hydraulics system. These glass particles contaminate the system downstream, damaging seals and pumps. It costs you more money to repair the system, both in the product replacement and the hours it takes to fix it.
Not only do fiberglass filters lead to increased maintenance costs and hours, but they also increased failure rates and excessive wear and tear. Your equipment won't operate at its best, which means your critical missions won't either. Switching to all-metal filters, like the hydraulic filters manufactured by FCP, can help reduce these costs and improve performance.
Why Paper Filters Aren't the Answer
While perhaps paper filters won't cause the same particle contamination in the system as fiberglass filters, they can leak unwanted chemicals into your hydraulics system. If the paper is treated with bleach or other chemicals, the oil will mix with those chemicals and contaminate the rest of your system. This contamination doesn't necessarily happen in the aerospace industry alone. The marine industry, where efficient operation of the ship depends on the prevention of impurities from entering the system, is also reliant on filtered, clean oil.
The Solution is Metal Mesh Filters
All-metal filters provide the solution your equipment needs. They reduce contamination in the hydraulics system by as much as 95 percent and decrease failure rates across the board. The research shows that all-metal mesh filters save about $4 million for every 100 hours of flight time. The savings come from having to replace fewer hydraulic pumps and primary servo components.
Our metal mesh filters provide excellent filter efficiency for a more extended time than fiberglass filters or paper filters. It has no binders in the filter with metal-to-metal contact points, making metal mesh filters solid and reliable. They won't shed particles like fiberglass filters, keeping your hydraulic system free of filter contaminants.
Filtration Solutions for the Aerospace, Marine, and Defense Industries
FCP is a leader in the manufacturing of specialty filtration products with our all-metal mesh filters. All-metal filters are cleanable, reusable, and can withstand extreme temperature ranges. It's no wonder they are used in military jet aircraft, helicopters, nuclear submarines, naval surface ships, and more. We use stainless steel in our filters, but they're also available in bronze and various alloys.
Plus, as an AS9100-certified company, you know that FCP produces high-quality, reliable products that follow strict adherence to our quality assurance program. We follow a quality manual for all the filters we make, and our experienced team uses the best manufacturing equipment to provide reliable, consistent filters every time.
Request a Quote for Your All-Metal Filter Today
If you're tired of having excess maintenance costs because your fiberglass or paper filters aren't measuring up, it's time to contact Fluid Conditioning Products. We can help you switch to metal filters and even provide you with a custom filter for your specific needs.
With well-maintained equipment that uses all-metal filters, you can focus on getting your job done correctly and safely. Metal mesh filters will save you time, money, and aggravation, so get started on the transition today. Request a quote from FCP, where you know you'll receive the highest quality filters available!

Things have been pretty slow in the yard here in Port Townsend this fall. I was out yesterday during a lull in our string of low fronts, and found this raving beauty on the chocks. The M/V Northwind is a 79 year old 130 foot motor yacht!
Still getting used to all the manual controls on my new digital camera. I am relearning the creative challenge of taking full control of the exposure, right down to processing the RAW format "digital negative."
The difference between a RAW image (RAW means nothing but "raw" ) and a normal camera image is that instead of depending on the camera's internal computer to process a .jpg image, RAW yields the equivalent of a film negative.
The RAW image is down loaded into my imaging program - PhotoShop Elements Seven, which gives me slider control over:
- white balance
- color temperature
- tint
- exposure
- recovery
- fill light
- blacks
- brightness
- contrast
- clarity
- vibrance
- saturation
- noise
Because I have such control over the final .jpg photo, I wanted a more accurate monitor. I replaced my TFT analog monitor with a cPVA digital monitor. cPVA technology yields more accurate image performance and professional-caliber color, with 100% support of the sRGB color mode.
If you do not have "a handle" on LCD technology, or just want to refresh your memory, 3M offers a great LCD Optics 101 animated refresher class. [Be sure your sound is turned up, and click "next" to proceed from module to module.]
The M/V Northwind apparently has no owner, being listed by a broker. After the war ended, it is said that Winston Churchill used her as a refuge to relax and paint. She was built in 1930. Here is her interesting story.

By Dr. Adam J. Friedman – Margate, Coconut Creek Fl – Congratulations – you've conquered that fear of the unknown and made that first chiropractic appointment; what can you expect?
Chiropractors start by taking a complete and thorough patient history. It's important to be able to understand why the patient is coming to see me and what events in the past could possibly have contributed to why they're in the office today. Most people think that an event that happened years ago could never contribute to the pain or symptoms they are feeling today, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
As part of this initial consult/history taking, I first ask the patient what are their complaints. I ask if they can identify the first time they've experienced these complaints, because it's usually further back than the patient initially realizes. I ask if they have any idea as to what may have caused the problem. Is it due to a previous trauma, a specific instance, or just something that developed over time?
I ask patients to try and describe the type of pain they are experiencing; is it dull, achy, sharp, throbbing or something else? I try to get patients to identify what posture bothers them: is it standing, walking, bending, sitting, etc. What position makes them feel better? How intense is the pain; does the pain travel or remain in one spot?
Once a complete history is taken, I also ask about the patients' social history – how much stress they are under, how often they exercise, what kind of diet they have? All of this – along with any negative lifestyle trait, such as smoking – contributes to the patients' overall healing time.
Once the consult is completed, a patient can expect a comprehensive physical examination including postural analysis, range of motion testing, orthopedic and possibly, neurological testing. Chiropractors additionally do what's called static/motion palpation. This is where the chiropractor uses their hands to note where the most notable alignment and myofascial issues exist.
In most instances, once the exam is complete, x-rays are typically recommended to be able to identify what's truly going on underneath the skin. X-rays are crucial because it helps us to determine, in addition to exam findings, what type of care is most appropriate for that patient's well-being. Additionally, I will give advice on home care, lifestyle modifications, exercise instruction and nutritional advice.
Once I have all of the information, I will take the patient through all my findings – including the physical exam and x-ray findings. I will discuss with them, in depth, what chiropractic is specifically while using a variety of models. I will inform them if I think I can help them, how long it will take and how much it will cost.
Once the patient fully understands what we are doing to them and the answers to all of those other questions, I will begin the process of adjusting them. I always make certain that the patient is aware and comfortable with the techniques. If not, I can modify those techniques in order to assure that the patient is comfortable.

Misunderstood concepts of chiropractic care
Many people are genuinely scared of chiropractors. Misunderstood concepts of chiropractic care cause patients baseless fears and keep them from getting the treatments they need. People tell me that they are afraid that cracking or popping any part of their body – especially their spine – will be painful. You need to know that a licensed chiropractor understands the mechanics of the human body. It helps if you think about any cracking or popping – typically gas being released from a joint – as your body sighing in relief.
"You joint cavities are filled with synovial fluid, which includes oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. When your neck is cracked during a chiropractic session, it's simply the sound of compressed gas being released from the fluid as a result of the specific movement. This kind of manipulation can offer the patient relief and increase range of motion in the joints.
It's important that patients understand that chiropractic adjustments can help decrease discomfort in the neck, the lower and upper back, shoulders, hands, knees and/or ankles. Anyone recovering from any type of spine or joint pain – whether they are looking to manage chronic pain or alleviate discomfort caused by a vehicle accident or a sports-related injury can benefit from a chiropractic adjustment."
Over the years, I've heard many patients share their fears about chiropractic medicine. Many believe chiropractic adjustments will hurt, that they will be uncomfortable afterwards, or it's going to cost a fortune. It's important to remember that I use treatments in which the patient is comfortable. It is not my goal to cause pain, but to alleviate pain. Patients should not let their fear of discomfort keep them from scheduling an appointment – why suffer any longer than necessary?
My patients – even the nervous ones – tell me they are more comfortable after an adjustment. There is much that I do to ensure my patients' comfort – from explaining the treatment method to you prior to beginning, repositioning you or by clarifying what is happening within your body.
Most importantly, chiropractic care is an investment in oneself. Quality chiropractic care can facilitate your recovery time, from illness, and other preventable damage to your health in the future.
Most people take their cars in for regularly scheduled service; they do not question the fee required to ensure that the all of the automobile's systems – brakes, engines, tires, etc. – are working well together. Regularly scheduled maintenance is usually is its own reward in how long and how well our vehicles run and handle on the road.
We should view our bodies in much the same way, as the same type of investment. You are so worth it!
Yours in Health!

It feels like I haven't written a blog post in FOREVER! But, looks like it's only been a month. That speaks volumes about how full and busy the last month has been. Given that this is the Year of "Only What's Essential" it seems something has gone wrong… or has it?
My personal workload at the office has been at an all-time high the past couple of months. Between upgrades to my primary software programs, busy season planning (of which I do the scheduling for all the auditors), an integration of our administrative structure and processes between six locations (of which I manage 2), and other large, year-end projects that demand a lot of time, it's been crazy. "My own personal busy season" is what I've dubbed it.
Several weeks ago I heard myself muttering about being "overwhelmed" regularly. My brain jumped and skipped all over the place as I took mental inventory of all that I had to do. Fortunately, the mindfulness techniques I've learned kicked in and I decided not to pay attention to the "I'm overwhelmed" thought and just let it pass by.
Being so busy at work actually encouraged me to be intentional with my time, and figure out ways to delegate more. Instead of getting caught up in mental loop of all the things I potentially could or should be doing, I just jumped in and started getting things done.
After running with my friend on a weekly basis for much of the year, I'd encouraged her to run her first half marathon ("Hi Leslie!") and then made a hasty retreat when she asked if I was going to run it too. By encouraging another friend from church to run the race at a Friendsgiving event, I somehow talked myself into it too. Although I hadn't run more than 5 miles at a time for months, this race was looming and long runs had to be done.
Since I was busy at work and wanting to thoroughly enjoy the holiday festivities with my family on the weekends, I fit running in where I could and didn't stress about it. The week leading up to the race last Saturday was particularly hectic. Fortunately, Leslie and I had a good run on Monday morning. I then decided to rest until the race, which worked out well. Instead of feeling like I was neglecting exercise because of my office workload, it was easily reframed as rest and recovery for the upcoming race!
Going into the race, I knew I wasn't as prepared as I'd been for races in the past, particularly in terms of recent mileage. But, I knew that I could run the distance and would just go out to enjoy the race, listen to my Christmas music (it's the Holiday Half Marathon, after all), and not have any preconceived notions about a finishing time.
To my surprise and delight, I ran a personal best: 1:55.51. Over four minutes faster than I ran on the same course 2 years ago! Also, I felt awesome during the race! When I returned home later that morning, I got cleaned-up and into my pajamas. Teo and I cuddled on the couch watching "Holiday Baking Championship" on Food Network. Later, I wrapped most of the Christmas gifts that were stashed in the closet, while listening to more Christmas music and drinking almond milk hot chocolate. Sienna came to help and I got to teach her how to wrap presents. Sitting on the floor, I watched her carefully fold the corners and resisted the urge to "help" too much! We all got to bed early since Dennis and I had altar guild for the 8:00 a.m. service on Sunday. That meant we needed to be there by 7:00 a.m. Whew! Pastor asked our family to light the Advent wreath during the early service; so special!
Throughout the entire weekend, I felt myself breathing into the moment and remaining present. When I was running, I didn't think too far ahead; instead, I looked around, listened to the music, and focused on the feel of running. When I wrapped presents, I did just that; I didn't worry about work or think of all the things we needed to get done. Setting the altar for the divine service on Sunday morning always brings me in touch with the ultimate gift that Christ gives us, in himself, week after week.
I've found that, when I'm especially busy or feeling overwhelmed, it's an opportunity to practice mindfulness and being present in the moment. All the activities or items on the "To Do" list, don't add up to feeling crazed, if I'm able to stay present and do one thing at a time. Running that race didn't leave me feeling remorseful, as if I opted to prioritize it before family/holiday time, because I purposefully didn't schedule anything else for the day. A very busy work week didn't leave me feeling like I was being robbed of the joyful holidays because I left work in the office on Friday afternoon and enjoyed the weekend fully with Dennis and the kids, and celebrated the Advent season with our church family. When, every now and then, the thought would occur to me: "I shouldn't be this busy right now, it's the holidays!" I chose not to give that thought my attention, so it didn't hook me into feeling frustrated or angry.
Through this season of busyness, festivities, and joyous times with family and friends, there are so many opportunities to get caught up in the chaos and miss out on tender moments of connection. But, there are just as many opportunities to stop, breathe, look around, and be present in the moment where life is happening right in the here-and-now. May this Christmas season bring you hope, peace, joy, and love as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Supreme Court Weighs Citizenship Question
Roughly 15 percent of the population of Santa Barbara County is made up of undocumented residents, one of the highest percentages statewide. And if they avoid the upcoming Census because of a citizenship question, it could cost the county upward of $6 million in annual funding. The decision on whether or not to include the question is currently underway. The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday about why it should or should not be added. The case arose after more than two dozen states and cities, including California, filed lawsuits to try to remove the question. National news sources report that the justices appear split, with the majority in favor of allowing the question. The Census Bureau says it needs a final ruling by June so it can begin printing the Census on schedule.
There is consensus that adding the question will lead to an undercount. Not only will it dissuade undocumented folk, but it will also discourage mixed-status families from filling it out, said Lucas Zucker, policy and communications director with Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE). Undocumented citizens are not worried without reason. Census data was used during WWII to aid the federal government in locating American citizens of Japanese descent to fill incarceration camps. "We should not jeopardize the accuracy of the U.S. Census," said Congressmember Salud Carbajal, critical of the citizenship inquiry. "Many immigrants who are already living in fear of deportation under the current administration will not participate due to concerns the information provided will be used against them."
The Census determines the number of representatives each state gets in Congress and the amount of federal funding local governments get for public schools, public parks, and programs such as Medicaid, Head Start, and the National School Lunch Program. The county, in partnership with the Santa Barbara Foundation, created a Complete Count Steering Committee to ensure that every person is counted. "Even if folks are citizens, you are impacted by an undercount," Zucker said.

こんにちは Konnichiwa !!!
3 cities – 15 days – and almost a year of planning in advance. My first time in Japan was truly a dream come true and full of unforgettable memories. Special shoutout to Alex for compiling the extensive itinerary, and for making sure we made it to most of our bucket list of places <3 I am so excited to be sharing my Japan Diary with you guys. Chapter 1 starts in the capital city, Tokyo.
Early morning view of Brissie -> connecting flight to Cairns. If you guys have ever wondered why there aren't a lot of Japanese people in Brisbane (I have), it's because they're all in Cairns :p
^ Saw this shortly after departing Cairns. (Someone please tell me what it is!)
With 8 hours to pass, I finally got around to watching Thor and picturing myself as Natalie Portman…
We boarded a Skyliner that took us straight from Narita Airport to Tokyo. This was my first time seeing the overwhelmingly long platforms jam-packed with commuters.
First meal of the trip: 一蘭 ICHIRAN RAMEN!! Man, this was the perfect meal for the 2 degree weather. The dramatic climate change from mid 30s to 2 degrees celsius in one day was a little crazy for me. I have to admit, I wasn't prepared.
Our Airbnb was located around 10 minutes walk from Ikebukuro Station tucked in the nooks and crannies of a neighbourhood block. The accomodation was pret-ty small but it felt cool to live like a local and see the neighbours come and go for work ^_^
Stop 1: Takeshita Street – famous for the fashion boutiques, cafes, streetwear and Harajuku fashion. I mean….LOOK AT THOSE SHOES <3!
Totti Candy Factory where I had the biggest fluff of rainbow fairy floss.
There are crepe stores dotted all over Takeshita street but I couldn't handle anymore after the fairy floss ;___;
Omotesando Tokyo Plaza building
[Alex was enjoying his chicken nuggets when I took this photo]
This is a $150 honeydew guys.
Found a 5 storey Kiddyland store. I couldn't contain my excitement because everything was just so KAWAII!!!! UGH. Sanrio, Ghibli, Bandai, Disney. I could spend all day squishing everything >_<
Gindaco Takoyaki! I was surprised to find that unlike the firm takoyaki that I'm used to, freshly made Japanese takoyaki is actually really soft and gooey on the inside.
Walked to Meiji shrine and made the best spontaneous decision to enter the Iris gardens. There was only an hour until it closed but we paid the small entry fee and went exploring. It was so peaceful and a beautiful place to watch sunset by the lake (très romantic am I right? haha). During the Meiji period, Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken would enjoy their time in the teahouse and wandering around the gardens.
Meiji Jingu Sake Barrells
I watched the movie Hachi: A Dog's Tale last year, and it made me cry so hard. It's based on the amazing real life story of Hachiko who lived in the 1920s-30s. Read up on it guys~
Dinner in a standing sushi restaurant. I can't really express in words how good this was so it's a must try if you're a sushi lover in Japan.
^ Creme brulee for dessert in the L'Occitane cafe, Shibuya.
Our first day done and dusted. It was probably the most jammed packed day of the trip and we walked non stop (16.3km according to le pedometer). Pt 2 is coming next ^_^

Hello Monday and hello friends! Did you manage to stay warm this weekend? I think we are in one of the few warm pockets in the US right now. We keep tabs on different places in the country where we have family and it's been frigid everywhere.
You may not be familiar with The Blended Blog and just what it is, but it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a collaboration of lifestyle bloggers all coming together. What a fun idea! Some of these bloggers are some of my best blogging friends. Friends I've never met. It's the craziest thing. I talk about these women like I'm with them all the time.
Each month they have a set of questions/prompts to help us share and learn more about each other. It's fun to find out just what we all have in common. Today is the day for the January edition.
1. Resolutions or No Resolutions?
No resolutions for this girl.
2. Love snow or No Snow?
Spending 3 winters in Minnesota can kill your love for snow…at least for a little while. Now that we've been in California for 4 winters I think I could actually embrace some snow. I occassionaly find myself missing the excitement of a snowfall when I hear about it from friends.
(this was our house in MN)
3. Name a New Place you want to go this year?
We are planning to take a trip every spring with our friends Paul and Elizabeth. This year we have Savannah and Charleston as possibilities, but I sure wouldn't be opposed to visiting another Hawaiian island. {wink, wink}
4. Would you rather have a new Hair cut or Hair color?
Hmmm….that's a hard one, but probably a cut. It always feels so much lighter and softer. I'm actually in need of a haircut right now.
5. Name one special thing you want to do for yourself this year?
I think I'd have to say being less critical of myself and not comparing myself to other women. This is such a nasty habit and one I'd personally like to kick to the curb.
6. Least Favorite thing about January?
The let down after the holidays.
7. Most Favorite thing about January?
A fresh start.
8. When do you take down your Holiday decorations?
Sometime during the week between Christmas and New Year's. I'm usually ready to "reclaim" my space and de-glitter. LOL
9. Do you diet in January?
No, I'm more of a watch what you eat kind of person all the time. Having said that, the older I get the harder it becomes to keep those pesky pounds off and the more I'm having to cut back. Pretty soon I'll just be eating ice and drinking water. HA!
10. What area of your home do you want to organize the most?
I try to keep all areas pretty organized, but some of the closets and cabinets could definitely do with a good touch up.
11. Favorite Winter Comfort Food?
The first thing that popped into my head was pancakes, so let's just go with that. Breakfast for dinner is a favorite for sure.
12. Favorite Guilty Pleasure
I think having my nails done could fall into this category. I hate trying to keep them polished so I end up keeping them dipped (now) or having some other form of pink and white acrylics done. I hate to spend the money, but I just really feel better when they are done.
Here's to a great 2018 friends.

Be The Change, Transforming the challenge of racism into launchpads for success
Live Stream
Details to view the event are private and will be sent along with your ticket purchase.
You will get your access details after you claim your ticket. In addition to this virtual event series, get your copy of the book "A Cure For Racism" which includes the special bonus of the updated and revised "Be The Change Playbook" so you can get started right away- applying what you are about to learn! And from April 17th-July24 you can purchase it for 25% off. Use this link to select your preferred retailer https://books2read.com/b/31lRXr
Despite there being a wealth of empirical resources to educate folks about the political path of racism (personal and systemic) people have struggled to adequately digest, apply and adapt to these "illuminated" realities rooted in a painful and complex history. It is in response to this observation and many many difficult conversations that this webinar emerged.
This workshop and the playbook respond to question(s) and comments I've heard again and again from people who identified as allies. The Empowered Innovation [CFAaP] System is here applied to the challenge of racism with the intent of showing how it can be transformed into a launchpad for success.
This may not be the answer you wanted, but here it is reduced to the lowest common denominator, a cure for racism.
With a new awareness of systemic racism or persistent racial inequity, more and more allies are now asking, "What's next?"
This new fundraising event represents the soft launch of our test kitchen. In the same way that "starter" is used as a key ingredient in good sourdough bread, the sample you are invited to help perfect is based on my personal innovation starter recipe in a cure for racism delivered as entrees, and sides in the form of master class sessions, and resources.
The test kitchen was open suddenly in response to that earlier question. Inspired by a growing need the choice was made to invite you in as co-creators because we know that with your help, we can ensure that there is a reason for hope moving into and beyond 2021. And as much as this is for you, it is also for those of us who need to believe that allyship can be meaningful...that enough folks will support the cure so that our future can be unlike (better than) our past.
Your donations will support several new projects and expansion of existing ones including:
This program has been created to empower you to be one of the heroes our world needs. I know that after you're introduced to what some have called a law of attraction style approach you will see why it ignites inspiration to Be The Change while also providing you a clear path to the relief of leveraging your own personal momentum.
Although this is offered to you without a price tag - your attention and donations, in any amount, are appreciated.
With your donation you get an eticket for a special master class style event that will guide you in getting:
"Be The Change, Transforming Challenges into Launchpads for Success" join us to learn why what you are about to learn unlocks a cure for racism and so much more. Have something handy to take notes. If you have questions and want help with them, send them over. You'll love how much value you get from this event whatever amount you choose to donate.
With your donation comes an Upgraded Ticket that includes valuable bonuses to help you act on what you learn in this first session. If you are ready, you will be empowered to Be The Change in meaningful and profound ways that make a better future more likely - becoming the hero we have been waiting for.
Act Now!
Get your Ticket and Make Your Donation Now. And if you see the value, share it with someone else.
What is the We The World Campaign for Freedom Story?
WE, the World is a global coalition-building non-profit organization based in New York City. Founded in 1998 by Rick Ulfik, WE, the World annually connects and promotes thousands of socially conscious organizations and businesses, representing millions of people, to amplify their efforts and generate public awareness and action for peace, justice, sustainability, and transformation. WE uses funds raised to co-sponsor important grassroots community events, provide marketing and outreach, as well as technical support and resources for grassroots partner organizations helping advance a better world that works for all.
In 2019 Rick and Angel Fullerton, Chief Administrative Officer, invited Yvette Dubel to join the We Team. She became the Artist-Researcher in (virtual) residence coordinating the Campaign for Freedom and creator of the Empowered Innovation[CFAaP] System, as well as its related event series, resources, and services. It has emerged from more than a decade of work to develop "Art as Solution" (aka Art Based Solutions) and Business as Ingredient. The Campaign is the latest exploration in applications of this work.
The Freedom Campaign is devoted to working with people and organizations to promote freedom for all! WE aim to bring together grassroots movements and organizations to make sure the voices of the people are heard; end society's mishandling of poverty, drug addiction, and mental illness; and to protect and foster freedom of expression in media, culture and the arts. WE do this through promoting responsible governance for the Common Good; promoting public financing of elections; supporting strategies to reduce corruption; funding and supporting democratic governance practices, institutions, and non-commercial media; promoting media literacy; and advocating for socially responsible public interest practices in media. During 2020 11 Days of Global Unity the Campaign for Freedom team launched the [We]Freedom Film Fest, a short film festival and artist collaborations using the same process shared in this event.

It is said that individuals recollect certain historical events by recalling what they were undertaking on hearing of or witnessing that particular event. For instance, it is said that everyone can remember what they were doing when news was broadcast of US President John F Kennedy's assassination in November 1963.
That isn't strictly true as, despite being alive then, I have no memory of the incident. That's hardly surprising, though, as I was only seven months old when Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot the incumbent US President.
Despite my youth induced memory lapse, I'm told by my parents that I was pram bound in the living room of our Leeds home when the news came through of the Presidents passing.
Incidentally, my mum and dad are prepared to back up that alibi, so don't try to implicate me as a suspect, you conspiracy theorists! …… Anyway, I digress.
I may not be able to remember where I was when JFK was shot, however, in the future I'll be able to recall what I was doing when Donald J Trump became the US President.
During this major historical occasion, I was sitting in the living room of a different Leeds home……. Blimey, a lot of major events seem to have happened when I'm in the living room of my Leeds homes!
After the distasteful presidential campaign from both political parties, not to mention the inglorious sideshow of Trump's President elect period, Americans and the wider world await to see what the new Commander in Chief has up his sleeve.
Will he, as opined by some political commentators, prove to be less confrontational, more contrite and desist from mentioning ladies front bottoms so much now he's the Commander in Chief of his nation?
Or will it be the case, as others proffer, he will be highly divisive during his presidential term? A strategy that will result in further national and global de-stabilisation. The only certainty being a seismic difference from the administration he replaces.
With tongue very firmly in cheek, I envisage a future where a social media savvy new President fires dissenters by a Facebook unfriend. Or even declaring his intention to enter a military conflict via a 140 character tweet…… #artisticlicence #hopefullyimwrong
Regardless of anyone's opinion, Trump is now the leader of the free world and has in his possession the keys to the White House and the US's nuclear codes.
I'm not sure of the legislative procedures for handing over the presidential residence. For instance, is Barack Obama allowed to barter a price with the new incumbents for the curtains and blinds he's leaving behind?
What rights do the Trumps have if the Obamas remove the Oval Room's light fittings prior to their departure?
When Donald J Trump notices that two large conifers have been removed from the White House gardens, has he any legal recourse to ensure their safe return from Barack's post-presidential residence?
Whatever happens, I hope the house move runs smoothly for both sides and their legal teams make the transition as pain free as possible.
After all, Donald's day will be tough enough being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America without the added strain of house removal complications.
I certainly hope it goes smoother than my last house move in 1996. On that hot August day, we were let down by our removal firm at the last minute, meaning I had to speedily hire a 7.5 ton lorry to move ourselves.
The loading and unloading of a fridge, washer/dryer, freezer, beds, furniture and boxes of the other items such as cases of clothes was a tough job on that sweltering day in the summer of '96.
I just hope the new US Commander in Chief doesn't have to move house himself. It won't do Melania's recently manicured nails much good having to lug the washing machine from a 7.5 ton truck into the White House utility room.
If she splits a nail shifting their bloody big fridge/freezer into the kitchen, recent protests displayed by American liberals at his presidency will pale into insignificance compared to the wrath of his missus.
Further to my house move, I'd recommend Trump doesn't get 'the wall' built by the guy who did my patio shortly after I moved in. If he does, his aim of refraining Mexicans entering his country is unlikely to be fulfilled.
What does the future hold for our American cousins? Are we entering into an era of America becoming great again as the incoming President promised? Or are we seeing the dawn of a time that manifests an increase in US and global divisiveness?

Super Simple Communication Between Browser Tabs for Elm
tl;dr use ports and localstorage
Some reasons why you may want to communicate between browser tabs:
- Keep data from an API in sync/cached
- Login a user in all open tabs when they login in one
- Store auth tokens
- Use one tab to control the UI in another
In the rest of this post, I will show you a super simple example of how to talk between tabs in Elm using ports and localstorage.
Click the buttons to change the counter value - then open this page in another tab, you will see the counter update in both places.
How it works
Every time we change our model in Elm, we send it out a port in our update function.
update : Msg -> Model -> ( Model, Cmd Msg )
update msg model =
newModel =
updateHelper msg model
( newModel, saveToStorage newModel )
port saveToStorage : Int -> Cmd msg
On the JS side, this port saves the model to localstorage.
app.ports.saveToStorage.subscribe(function(m) {
// save our model to local storage
localStorage.setItem(lsKey, JSON.stringify(m));
Still in JS land, we have an event listener that subsribes to localstorage: if our model is updated in localstorage, then we send it back into a port in our Elm app.
window.addEventListener('storage', function (event) {
if (event.key === lsKey) {
// if the model changes, pass it into elm
In elm, we then decode the value and put it in our model.
port fromStorage : (Maybe String -> msg) -> Sub msg
subscriptions model =
fromStorage FromStorage
update : Msg -> Model -> ( Model, Cmd Msg )
update msg model =
newModel =
updateHelper msg model
( newModel, saveToStorage newModel )
updateHelper : Msg -> Model -> Model
updateHelper msg model =
case msg of
Increment ->
model + 1
Decrement ->
model - 1
FromStorage ms ->
decodeLocalStorage ms
decodeLocalStorage : Maybe String -> Int
decodeLocalStorage ms =
case ms of
Nothing ->
Just s ->
Json.Decode.decodeString Json.Decode.int s
|> Result.withDefault 0
You can see the full source code in this gist. If you want to see a more complicated example, have a look at apostello.
