When I think of Lahinch, I picture myself surfing, camping and eating a 99, even though it's windy AF.
The last thing I would have ever imagined myself doing would be tucking into a top-notch brunch in a lil' hipster café.
Down the main street of Lahinch, that looks just the same as it did when I was a kid, lies an unexpected Middle-Eastern inspired brunch haven. Even from the outside, I could tell this place was going to be good - mostly because there was a large queue to get in, but still... You get my drift.
This lil' beaut of a place is called DODI.

What's the vibe?
DODI is like nothing else in Lahinch, or anywhere near there for that matter. It's a small venue with about six or seven tables but there is a serious buzz in there from the moment you walk in.
From the inside, it's pretty simple decor but it still manages to hold character. The staff were buzzing around, super bubbly and chatty with customers even though it was super busy, which I loved. You could tell they just wanted you to enjoy your meal.
There's a coffee counter for anyone who wants to pay a flying visit and it's laced in decadent, freshly baked treats.
As soon as I sat down I looked across and saw the table next to me had ordered delicious, thick and sweet pancakes, the smell of the cinnamon from it set my stomach rumbling and I excitedly glued my eyes down the the menu.

What's on the menu?
The café specialises in local, fresh and seasonal dishes.
One of the first things I noticed when I sat down at my table, was a tiny blue card that listed all of the café's suppliers. I thought this added a really nice touch to the experience as I knew exactly where my food had come from.
The menu has about five or six options. It's a small choice but it still covers for whatever you're in the mood for - sweet or savoury, spicy or saucy.
It's all inspired by the Middle-East, as owner Doria spent a lot of time travelling there as a child. It's ideal for veggies and even has a vegan option.
I was with my friend who wanted a classic brunch dish - avocado, egg, sourdough and bacon. As soon as he laid eyes on the Breakfast Bap, he was sold - it had all of the above. Sorted.
Being the great friend he is, he let me try some before devouring his dish in a few bites. The streaky bacon was some of the best I've had in a long time, it had so much flavour.
I wanted to try something a little out of the ordinary, so I opted for Sweet Potato Fritters. I didn't think sweet potato could taste any better until I tried this dish.
It was fried and seasoned with spices and then drizzled with lemon yoghurt and OMG, it was fantastic.
The poached egg, sourdough and salad blended nicely with the flavour of the fritters and aided to the kick from the spices. I'm a big fan of sauces and dressing so I would have liked a little sprinkle of something on my side salad but hey, that's only a minor thing.
This was a fab step away from a conventional brunch, which is exactly what I had hoped for. It was super filling and bloody delish.
The café are one of the few over the Western seaboard to stock Roasted Brown coffee. If you like your coffee strong and bitter - This is the one for you.
Flat white goals.
How much?
Myself and my friend indulged in a top quality meal and we each had a fancy coffee. At the end of the meal we had the usual spat over paying for the each other's meals.
Finally, I gave in and as we queued up I almost felt guilty letting him pay. I dragged him away from the beach, made him wait in a queue for about 15/20 minutes and picked the most extravagant thing on the menu.
"That'll be €23 please!"
We looked at each other almost in shock. For the quality of the meal, the service and the general brunch experience, we expected it to be so much more.
We both left with a big smile on our face and I definitely didn't feel guilty anymore, sure look we will 100% be going back and I'll get the next one plus I had chosen a deadly spot for us - what a success!

DODI has impressed me to no end. It has given Lahinch a deadly spot for foodies to indulge and to hang out and it's raised the bar with an amazing menu and deadly coffee.
The ideal spot to fill up after a swim in the sea!

Oh Me Achin' BACK!
I don't know what's going on. But yesterday, my back started giving me real problems. Thankfully, it's all muscular. Nerve pain, I can't take. My lower back muscles have gone on strike and apparently feel I need to be punished. I can only think they feel this way due to the inconsideration I showed in forcing them to sit in hard airport gate chairs for 6 hours. And then in the deceptively stiff airplane seat for another almost 5 hours. So yes, given the torture I put my back through, I guess I must pay.
Saturday night, I didn't sleep well because every time I rolled or moved, my back would send shock waves of pain radiating through me. That's fun. On the way to church on Sunday, I drove with my back pressed as hard as I could against the driver's seat back. My back relaxed enough to let me set up the food service and sing. And the worship ROCKED - let me tell you. (And as a note from my last post - yes, my lip gloss ended up all over the microphone. Note to self: apply lip gloss AFTER singing.)
Last night, I slept pretty much flat on my back. Which I only do if I'm in real pain. I'm a roller and flopper and stomach-sleeper. But last night, I was a flat-on-her-back-and-don't-move sleeper. I got The Boy off to school by driving him the measly distance down to the bus stop. I returned home with Lil' Bro and chose to rest on the couch while he watched some TV. When I got up to get him ready for day care, I could barely move. His day care called because we were a bit late. I told her I wasn't sure how I could get him to her house. She came to pick him up. Have I mentioned that my neighbors are the most amazing collection of people?
So I called my boss to say, guess what - I'm not sitting at a desk all day with this pain! I found a comfy position on the couch for a while. But it didn't last. So I just got off the phone with my doc's office and have an appointment in about an hour. It is amazing how absolutely tight and seized up my back muscles are. The only thing that can help right now are muscle relaxants. Not exactly the favored option for a mom of two young boys. When they get home, I'll just have to explain that mommy's muscle structure has been replaced with Jell-O and they will need to do quite a bit for themselves.
Ok. That's all the whining I have at the moment. This sitting position is losing its charm.
4:27pm Edited: Mom drove me to the doc. Neighbors got The Boy from the bus stop (again with the awesome neighbors). The doc confirmed my back muscles were basically a giant chunk of granite. She gave me a shot to relax the muscles immediately. The perscriptions would take a while. That shot RULES. I can stand & sit. I can actually move without screaming. That's a good thing. I just took the first of my 3 different perscription drugs. So I'm hoping the rest of my day and evening find me as flexible. Or more!!
Thank you God for moms and neighbors and doctors and nurses and magic-burning-shots and CVS and good drugs. AMEN!

Oh no - I wish I was there to help! Maybe the doctor can give you something besides muscle relaxant? I hope you're back to normal very soon. :-(
- Wanda said...
Oh I hope you are doing better now. Love and Hugs :}
- Sarakastic said...
did the doctor say how long this will last? feel better!
- LEstes65 said...
Kristen: I wish you were here, too. But I wish you LIVED here. HA!
Wanda: I'm doing much better since getting the shot and taking the first meds.
Sarakastic: she didn't say how long. But my experience with family members that had this is that you want to take the muscle relaxers for at least 4 nights before trying a day without them.
- Allie said...
That does not sound like fun. I hope you feel perfectly normal again soon.
- Angela Marie said...
I know what an achin' back feels like. It limits you.. it hurts.
You have such great neighbors! I think it would give me much comfort to know that they are there and want to be if I had neighbors like that. I think that could make a world of difference. I am happy for you!
- Stacy said...
So, lots of good drugs in your world? ;) Sorry to hear about the back pain.
- Darlene said...
pain pain go away
don't come back another day
Aren't some drugs amazing???
Thank God for em!
prayers go out to you, sweetness

Wow-Hooray for your awesome neighbors! I'm so sorry about your back (consider healing prayer covered, here in Boston) but I have to admit I'm captivated by the unlikely new truth in your world that you have to make mental memos about when to apply your lipgloss!!!
Do I sense a pair of sparkly elbow enhancers in your future???

For better or worse, OnePlus is one of the world's most active Android OEMs when it comes to software support, very frequently updating newer and older devices with exciting features, improved system performance and revised security.
Hence, it should come as no big surprise that the OnePlus 5 and 5T will soon pick up Project Treble functionality. While certain companies have tried their best to avoid mandatory compatibility for Google's upgrade-accelerating initiative, launching phones with Android Nougat pre-installed and then quickly rolling out Oreo goodies, OnePlus has gone the extra mile to actually meet customer demands.
It hasn't been easy, apparently taking the company "several months of evaluation and hard work" to find a "solution to make this possible", but Project Treble is supported on the latest OxygenOS open beta for the OnePlus 5T and original OP5.
That's Open Beta 11 as far as last fall's flagship is concerned, and Open Beta 13 for users of the 16:9 OP5 released around a year ago. The obvious next step is to bring Treble support, as well as a "brand new user interface" and a bunch of other changes and add-ons, to the OxygenOS general release channel.
Unfortunately, there's no word on when that might happen, so for the time being, if you want to try out the latest batch of UI tweaks, launcher improvements and weather app redesigns, you'll need to "accept the potential risks" of running beta software that's "sometimes not as stable" as official OTAs.

We have this hanging wasp trap with a sticky sweet nectar inside and once the wasps fly in they're trapped and can't get out and they die. Now, there are always many wasps eagerly swarming around this trap, frantic to get in, hovering around in excitement, fighting with eachother desperate to fly in….but once they do, of course, it is the end of them.What attracted them ended up killing them; it wasn't so great afterall!
It made me think: this is just like most people in the world today: they fall into the trap of sin. What they think looks so appealing, fun, popular, and they are excited to do in actual fact ends up being bad for them. Immorality such as inappropriate sex, drugs, drinking, smoking, gambling, partying,etc. looks enticing and they are drawn to it, eager to do it,competing with one another to do it,think it's something gratifying, "cool",desirable,and fun but is a danger; a trap of debauchery and evil in disguise, and it isn't what they think it is. What they THINK is fun and they are so eager to do will destroy them. Just like the wasps. They are drawn to something dangerous and bad but in their" blindness" they think it's good and they want it, but it ends up being bad and harmful, even killing them but by then it's too late.Satan uses it as "bait", just like the trap for the wasps, to snare people.

Reported by PMOI/MEK
Iran, October 14, 2018 - Iranian regime President Hassan Rouhani delivered a speech in Tehran University on Sunday while students were holding a rally on campus and chanting college students are ready to die, but will not accept to live in shame.
The protesting college students were seen protesting near the building where Rouhani was delivering his remarks. "High prices, unemployment, Rouhani must provide answers."

October 14 - Tehran, #Iran

Gravely concerned of Tehran University students using this opportunity to hold anti-regime protests, Iranian regime authorities had previously made arrangements to prevent the students from entering the conference halls.
When Rouhani was in the Tehran University conference hall one female college student was seen shouting: "Why didn't you provide permission for the students to enter the hall?"
The situation can be described as very tense in Iran.

Teachers of Kazerun on strike too
Since anti-government demonstrations erupted throughout Iran in December, strikes have become a popular way for citizens of different walks of life and social classes to protest against the corruption and inefficiency of the Iranian regime.
Women teachers of Mashhad are also on Strike
This is the second time that Iranian teachers are going on strike. Earlier this year, teachers across the country took to the streets to protest against discrimination, imprisonment of political activists and economic woes. This round of strikes by teachers is happening in parallel to a widespread strike by truck drivers across the country, which has lasted for more than three weeks and has expanded to more than 300 cities across the country. Last week, a separate strike by merchants and shop owners reached dozens of cities.

Matali Crasset's Book List
Books have always accompanied me to help me clarify my thoughts, reflect on my practice. Although in my practice I work with mental images, words and texts are still very important to me. With reading my interests widen. My sensitivity to social thought, anthropology, and ethnology is affirmed. However, I feel very small in the face of the knowledge that the written word contains. I have only climbed a few steps of what is an imposing mountain, yet I find that it is a never-ending joy.
Les livres m'ont toujours accompagné pour préciser mes pensées, réfléchir sur ma pratique.

text: MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker is weighing whether to sign a sweeping package of bills that would weaken the powers of his Democratic successor. Walker spokesman Tom Evenson said Thursday that the governor was reviewing the bills that passed early Wednesday morning during a rare lame-duck legislative session. The Republican-controlled Legislature approved the measures following overnight debate. Evenson didn't give a time frame for when Walker would act. Walker has six days to take action once the bills are delivered to him. Walker's office worked closely with legislators to craft the measures, but Republican lawmakers made last-minute changes during late-night negotiations. Walker is getting bipartisan pressure to veto the measures, including from Democratic Gov.-elect Tony Evers. Walker has already signaled general support for the legislation.

However, Tottenham Hotspur their rivals for the stadium were not happy and last month launched an application for a judicial review into Newham Council's role in arranging a £40M loan to finance West Ham's move to the stadium.
The Telegraph reports that Spurs have taken further action and have asked the High Court to start a separate judicial review into the roles of several other key parties involved in awarding West Ham the stadium.
A Tottenham statement read:
"The club has today sought permission from the High Court to bring a claim against the Olympic Park Legacy Company Limited, the Mayor of London, the Minister for Sport and the Olympics and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government for judicial review of a series of decisions made by them to appoint a joint bid by the London Borough of Newham and West Ham United Football Club as preferred bidder in a competition for the lease of the Olympic Stadium.
As previously reported, the club continues to hold discussions with both local and national government bodies in order to seek to agree a feasible stadium solution."
Sour grapes, or is this equivalent to the FIFA scandal now developing?

Our rescue houses many dogs and cats with special needs. Currently, we are raising money for one of our special feline friends, Knick Knack. Knick Knack arrived at Better Days Animal League in 2011 as a stray. Always overlooked by potential adopters, he has called Better Days Animal League home for several years. In April 2016, Knick Knack went to the vet for what appeared to be excessive urination and drinking. After many tests, referrals to specialists and more, Knick Knack's condition is still undiagnosed. Our veterinary bills are sky-rocketing for Knick Knack but this sweet, precious soul remains happy and we'll do what we can to keep him healthy and happy until he finds a home to call his own!

"What happens to price in a bidless market? It goes off a cliff....
Investors in stocks, bonds, and real estate are being herded off the cliff by the Federal Reserve. The name of the game in the New Normal is to force investors large and small into risk assets. When the risk assets blow up, the herd plunges headlong over the cliff en masse." ~ The Fed is Funneling the Investing Herd Off the Cliff, Charles Hugh Smith, June 12, 2015
We are quickly coming to a point where the global party of "unlimited credit" backstopped by the highest authorities in global finance, central banks, can no longer stop what has already been repeated many times for centuries; the breaking of the stock and bond bubbles. In fact, the current bubble literally is facing the question of who will win in the game of money itself.
As we wait for the latest Fed press release (June 17) to feed trading algorithms at 2:00 EST, we back away from the near term. Instead of the relentless pursuit of "the bottom line", we will examine the question, "Why is this happening again?" from an ethics point of view.
During bull markets, when the majority are enjoying the ride up, ethics takes a back seat to bottom lines. Only when trillions in losses are racking up across the landscape, does ethics and the lessons from history become more important than chasing the temporary wealth illusion.
Join the Crowd or Flee From It?
Charles Hugh Smith's book, Why Things Are Falling Apart and What We Can Do About It (2012), has two ideas that we all should have considered three years ago, and based on the comments from one of his recent articles, has become far more critical this summer:
- `"Conformity. Studies have found that the need to 'fit in' leads people to accept blatant falsehoods if the majority of those around them have already chosen the falsehood. This is the lesson of 'the Emperor has no clothes."
- "Overconfidence, also called hubris. This is the root of the phrase, 'pride goeth before a fall.' The individual who is supremely confident in the superiority of his judgment is an individual who will ignore evidence that he might be wrong."
This becomes even harder, when the Chairman of the Federal Reserve publicly TELLS everyone that he is artificially inflating assets so everyone FEELS richer.
Anyone thinking about his statement from September 2012 when QEIII was launched understands he was telling everyone this scheme was only temporary.
Fed Seeking to Create Wealth, Not Just Cut Rates, Yahoo Finance, Sept 14 '12
"The Federal Reserve wasn't just trying to drive down interest rates when it announced on a third round of bond purchases Thursday. It was wants to make people feel wealthier - and more willing to spend.
'...if the feel that their financial situation is better because their 401(k) looks better or for whatever reason - their house is worth more - they're more willing to go out and spend,' Chairman Bernanke told reporters. 'That's going to provide the demand that firms need in order to be willing to hire and to invest.'"
How many people do you know who believe that borrowing lot's of money to make one's "wealth effect" look good, actually changes the fact that they are BORROWING from their future to have that image today. How could Bernanke have ignored this basic principle of personal and business finance?>
So what happens when a herd of investors, large and small, want to lock in their gains from Bernanke's short-term experiment of "more debt will make you FEEL wealthy"? Will all of this new debt in the system go away, or will the public's feelings change when the latest credit fueled bubble burst, bringing with it far more than massive financial losses again?
"Vogue editor Diana Vreeland's motto, 'Fake it, fake it', is now the First Commandment of the spin-doctor and the commercial maker. As Vreeland advises, 'Never worry about the facts. Project an image to the public.' The art of success is to create a world 'as you feel it to be, as you wish it to be, as you wish it into being.'" When No One Sees: The Importance of Character in an Age of Image (2000), Os Guinness, pg 2.2 ~ Quoted in Destroy a Currency, Extend a Rally, 11/8/14
I Want Cash: Who Will Buy My "All Time High" Shares?
"Some investors take comfort in the fact that spreads (i.e., the price between the bid and ask) have remained low and healthy. But market depth is far lower than it was, and we believe it is a precursor of liquidity. ...The likely explanation for the lower depth in almost all bond markets is that inventories of market - makers' positions are dramatically lower than in the past. For instance, the total inventory of Treasuries available to market makers today is $1.7 trillion, down from $2.7 trillion at its peak in 2007.
Meanwhile, the Treasury market is $12.5 trillion; it was $4.4 trillion in 2007."~ JP Morgan Shareholder letter from Jamie Dimon, April 8, 2015, pg 31
Now are the global banks and central banks just now figuring out that the Fed's "wealth effect", of buying tens of billions of Treasuries each month since Bernanke's Sept. 2012 "feel wealthier and keep spending" scheme was announced, has actually been REDUCING liquidity, thus placing ALL investors in a market environment where risk is must higher right now than three years ago?
The following is a quote from UBS' Michael Schumacher, from a Zero Hedge article that was released a week before Bernanke's announcement, and pulled from a Special Edition issue of The Investor's Mind released on Sept 21, 2012:
"The Fed owns all but $650 billion of 10-30 year nominal Treasuries. Taking out, say, $300 billion in long term Treasuries almost certainly would put tremendous pressure on liquidity in that market...Ploughing ahead with a large, fixed size QE program could cause liquidity to tank."
And of course, any central banker reading the December 2008 BIS Quarterly Review right AFTER the collapse of world credit markets in the fall of 2008 would have known this long before 2012:
"The scarcity of US Treasuries for repo transactions also manifested itself in a sharp increase in the number of Treasury settlement fails. Whereas fails to deliver Treasuries had average around $90 billion per week during the two years preceding the crisis, they rose to above $1 trillion during the Bear Stearns episode and then soared to record highs of almost $2.7 trillion following the Lehman default." [pg 46]

So when it is time to sell, who will buy all of the shares at "all time high" prices?
Stock Buybacks; Focusing on Casino Wins or Economic Good?
"Your mind thinks thoughts and the pictures are broadcast back as your life experience. You not only create your life with your thoughts, but your thoughts add powerfully to the creation of the world. If you thought that you were insignificant and had no power in this world, think again. You mind is actually shaping the world around you." The Secret, Rhonda Byrne, [Quoted at its 82nd week on the top two "Hardcover Advice" of the NY Times Best Sellers and in The Secret of Retirement Planning, Aug. 20, 2008]
Blaise Pascal once said, "Ordinary people have the ability not to think about things they do not want to think about." When one considers the massive levels of debt that corporations have taken on in order to buy back their own stock, a method which has given the impression to millions of investors that "the crowd" is buying the market, then millions of investors and thousands of advisors have a great deal to think about this summer, even if they do not desire to.
But hey, who can blame the public, since societies are build around the motto, "We can always borrow our way to the top", as central bankers have so firmly endorsed, especially since 2008.
Yet therein lies the problem. The last 6 years of massive intervention by central banks, using the "nuclear money option", has created a society that is addicted to big daddy always intervening to "remove risk", which never will happen.
Delay it rearing its ugly head, yes. Remove it, no.
Ultimately, like a person who knows the oil light is on in their car and keeps driving, ignoring reality will eventually have far more serious consequences.
Stanley Drunkenmiller, one of the most famous hedge fund managers in the world, was quoted in a recent article on CNBC [1], for his view the current record breaking levels of corporate stock buybacks: "I think it's nuts. If you're running a business for the long term, the last thing you should be doing is borrowing money to buy your own stock."
The same article pointed out that April was a record breaking month for stock buybacks being authorized, reaching $141 billion. If the rest of the year continued at this pace, we would reach $1.2 trillion, which would be higher than the previous annual high of $863 billion set in 2007.
If one's method for investing is "believe and shape the world around you", then who cares about history. If one's method is based on learning from our past and history, then we remember that the previous stock buying record year of 2007, was the start of the largest destruction of wealth, over $60 trillion, in history.
While doing my own research for this piece, I learned from another article, this one from the Boston Globe [2], that since the early '80s when I was in my late 20s, that the nation's top publicly traded companies have gone from having 70% of their profits available to reinvest in their own business, to just 2 percent in 2014.
Bevis Longstreth, was a commissioner for the SEC in 1982 when the rule was changed that launched the buy back boom. Consider his insights of how distorted our markets have become:
"It is a terrible thing for the economy because the growth of the economy and the growth of individual companies depends upon their reinvesting in their business and expansion into other lines of business, and paying 98 percent of your earnings out as dividends or stock buybacks implies that you have no future."
Bob Ordemann's team of 80 software developers and engineers were among the 8% or 6,000 workers that Cisco announced were being laid off last year. These individuals, many of whom had worked to build the company during their careers, were slammed with the reality that at the same time they were being laid off to "cut costs", the company was continuing to spend billions to buy back its own stock, a move which would reduce the number of shares on the open market and help "assist" its price in the financial markets.
If this were an isolated incident, it would be a moral travesty. Since this data supports that this has become a national epidemic, every investors trusting in a "comfortable retirement" while thousands of workers are axed, should understand that their own financial futures are at risk from these unsustainable schemes. When major corporations are stuck with declining stock prices and their creative and loyal workforce is not there to rebuild TRUE long term growth, how will that impact the "we" and the "me"?
Source - Cisco Sums It Up: Terminates 8% of Workforce While Buying Back $1.5 Billion in Stock, Zero Hedge, August 13, 2015
With David Kostin's - Chief Equity Strategist at Goldman Sachs - in May 2013 and November 2014 presenting a 2015 year end value on the S&P 500 of 2100 [3], the record stock buybacks in April, record corporate debt levels, drastic reduction in US Treasuries in the hands of market makers to provide liquidity WHEN the major US stock indices break under their "nirvana lines" [4], then where will our markets find big money to keep stocks climbing when they start falling again like last October, when the Dow lost almost 1500 points in a little over 3 weeks?
Twenty years ago we might say to someone who said our markets were even "rigged" or "manipulated" to achieve the "always bull" image, that they were crazy, or one who believed a conspiracy theory. Well, no one willing to read can say that today. A "winning at all costs" attitude in order to continue "feeling wealthier in the short term", will ultimately bring severe consequences for us all, no matter who were are, or where we stand on the socioeconomic ladder.

Predictably (at least for believers in regression to the mean), all 27 bubbles broke and went all the way back to the preexisting trend.

By Dr Timothy Bottoms
The beach front at Gububarra [Fitzroy Island] was being denuded of wood by the frequent calls of the European's vessels needing fuel for their steam-boilers. Somewhat ironically, the first environmental statement for the future Cairns area was made by G.E. Dalrymple, when in October 1873, he observed:
It is melancholy to see the ruthless manner in which people from these vessels have destroyed magnificent calophyllum and fig trees, which originally formed a picturesque background to the beach, and grateful shade to landing parties. There is abundance of excellent firewood to be obtained close by. There are many other places along the coast where these despoilers have not yet commenced their ruthless destruction, but which will not long be safe if unprotected by legislative enactment; until this is done, even the beautiful cocoanut grove of the South Frankland Island is in peril.
("Queensland North East Coast Expedition", QV&P, 1874.)
This was coming from the man responsible for recording information and making recommendations about the coastline to enable the government to plan for future colonial development of the whole North East Coast. It was partly in response to his report that traffic increased along the coast.
This is an extract from Timothy Bottoms' CAIRNS, City of the South Pacific, A History 1770-1995 (Bunu Bunu Press 2016). www.cairnshistory.com.au see free historical documentaries about Cairns.

As talked about earlier generally one of the simplest ways to maintain things low-strain is to invite a woman out to a social event the place you can hang out with a group of mates. However should you're actually fascinated croatian women about a lady and wish to ensure you become more than only a casual hook-up, then you definately'll want to invite the lady on an actual date.
