Using Health Data to Inform Disability Policy in Delaware/
Note from the Digital Editor: In order to highlight the high-level of research and scholarship from the authors who have published in the William & Mary Policy Review's peer-reviewed print journal, we have reproduced the abstracts from Volume 1, Issue 1 along with a link to an electronic copy of the full form of the piece.
As with all people, the health status of people living with disabilities can be linked to health risk behaviors. This paper explores behavior, health, and disability through the utilization of data taken from a health monitoring survey implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called the Behavioral Risk F actor Surveillance System (BRFSS), for years 2006, 2007, and 2008. My purpose is to begin a discussion about the extent to which health status indicators, health risk behaviors, and chronic health conditions among adults with disabilities reported in the BRFSS can influence disability and health policy in the State of Delaware. The analysis demonstrates the need for health advocates and policymakers to consider using the BRFSS to create and implement disability health policy.

David Cameron once joked that he was sure we've been visited by aliens, adding that one of them was Peter Mandelson. Biology suggests that a universe as vast as ours ought to have more than one planet with intelligent creatures. But it also casts doubt on UFO claims of alien visitations, because life evolves to suit its environment. Even on Earth, living creatures occur in many different forms. Aliens evolving elsewhere would probably not be humanoid.
There is one area, though, where aliens are generally expected to be much like us: mathematics. It is often suggested that a good way to contact extraterrestrials is to send signals with the prime numbers, or digits of pi. Each Voyager spacecraft carried a golden phonograph record of sounds and images of Earth, including a description of our number system.
Mathematics, the reasoning goes, is universal. Aliens might use different number notation — binary, base 7, whatever. But they would surely recognise basic arithmetic, prime numbers, and pi, even if the notation were different. 2+2 isn't just 4 here, it's also 4 on the exoplanet Gliese 581c.
Until (if ever) we make contact with real aliens, we won't find out for sure what their maths is like. But the thing about aliens is: they're alien.
It seems silly to imagine that intelligent creatures would think that 2+2 is different from 4. But I'm not so sure that they would necessarily understand 2, 4, or +. Let alone pi. History shows that our mathematics depends not just on logical universals, but on what sort of creatures we are, where we live, and what we think is important.
Ancient clay tokens found in the Middle East suggest that numbers arose to count possessions. How many sheep do I have? Pi arose from the geometry of circles, an easy shape to scratch in the sand with a stick and a length of string. The lines and points of geometry are closely related to how the human brain interprets images received from the eye.
So I sometimes wonder whether aliens, whose environment and social life would surely differ from ours, might come up with different maths. Imagine creatures that float in the atmosphere of a gas giant, like Jupiter, studying the geometry of triangles by floating small objects in the air. 'Consider a triangle ABC—oops, where's A gone?'
Aliens like that would probably have a fantastic intuition for the fluid dynamics of turbulent vortices, which we find almost impossible to understand. But our rigid geometry might seem very alien indeed to them. Counting things doesn't come naturally when everything including the things themselves is fluid. For my Jovians, whole numbers might be very sophisticated concepts, characterising the topology of vortices. But sometimes two vortices merge to form a single one, so the Jovians might decide that 1+1 sometimes equals 1, not 2.
Alien maths would probably be logically consistent with ours. But it might carve up the universe in such a different way that its relation to our maths would be incomprehensible. Even on Earth, concepts often don't translate successfully from one language to another. As an American General once said: 'You can't trust those Russians. They have no word for "détente".'

So I was just watching an interview with Mama Gena, author of PUSSY: a reclamation and she shared that every time she holds a meeting or connects with her loved ones they start off the conversation with a BOAST, a GRATITUDE and a HOPE. When I heard this, I loved it straight away. While I already practice my daily gratitudes, write down my values & the 7 strategic action steps... I definitely had not been including a 'boast' or a 'hope'.
Many of us have been conditioned to shy away from recognising our accomplishments & success (whatever that looks like for you). But in the midst of endless creations and outpouring of our energy into multiple sources + activities, it is SO important to stop, express love to ourselves + share a recent win or HELL YEAAAH with a loved one, and encourage the same from them. I did this practice with my mum this morning & I encourage you all to do the same.
I thought I would share my 3 here :)
I boast that I have taken small steps every day this week to branch out with my food & acknowledged my fears but taken action anyway - and I am responsible for this! :)
I am grateful for having a beautiful relationship with my mum, loving my work & that I am willing to embody the love and energy I wish to see in the world. I am grateful for everything I attract as a result of how I show up.
My hope is that everyone, no matter their circumstances take the time to reflect on their potential, recognise their deeper purpose and self worth and be open to connecting with others in a way that is deeply nourishing so that humanity can come together to continually raise the current world consciousness & connect with pure source <3
What are yours?

As you and your loved one begin the Alzheimer's journey, we know that the options and services and programs can seem a little overwhelming. We've put together the most common questions we get in the FAQs below but, as always, please do not hesitate to contact us with further questions. We're here to help!
Dementia is a syndrome (set of symptoms) characterized by a gradual decline in mental abilities, such as memory, personality, behavior and thought. Dementia symptoms can be caused by any number of different diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Vascular Dementia. When a person exhibits signs of dementia, further medical evaluation is warranted to distinguish what type of dementia he/she may be experiencing, as well as to rule out potentially treatable/reversible causes of cognitive decline, such as vitamin deficiency, thyroid imbalance or depression.
Alzheimer's disease is one condition that causes dementia. Decline in short-term memroy is commonly an early symptom, with loss of other mental abilities, such as judgement, decision-making ability, self-control, insight and language skills increasing over time. Alzheimer's disease is a physical disease process, characterized by plaques and tangles in the brain of the affected person. Current treatments may delay the progression of symptoms, but do not stop or reverse the underlying disease process.
Some early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease include:
Over time, dementia symptoms become more severe, and the person becomes more dependent upon a caregiver for assistance with activities of daily living.
Memory impairment becomes more pronounced, and the person may experience disorientation to place and/or time.
Increasing language difficulties, impaired ability to perform skilled movement, loss of inhibition and restlessness often occur.
Behavioral changes and/or agitation may take place.
Over time, physical manifestations, such as difficulty with coordinating movements and difficulty swallowing, occur.
There are many things that people with dementia can do to enhance their daily lives. Programs and services exist to help the affected individual find opportunities for enjoyment, mental activity and social connection. Caregiver services can be invaluable to family members seeking information, support, resources and respite. For more information, contact the Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center.
Many people who have been affected by Alzheimer's wonder how they can help combat this devastating disease. Volunteering to participate in research is one powerful way. Right now, at least 70,000 volunteers are needed for more than 150 active Alzheimer's and related clinical trials and studies in the United States. All kinds of people, including healthy older adults, can join in this critical research.
Participating in Alzheimer's Research: For Yourself and Future Generations, a new booklet from the National Institute on Aging at NIH, explores how to find Alzheimer's and related studies that might be right for you, the benefits and potential risks to consider, what happens when you join a trial or study, how safety is protected and questions to ask. Read, download, or order free copies of Participating in Alzheimer's Research online or call the ADEAR Center at 1-800-438-4380. Also, please share this information on social media: Ever thought about joining an #Alz clinical trial or study? Learn what's involved in a new booklet from #NIH. http://1.usa.gov/1nLcYv6
We have compiled a list of online resources which you may find helpful as you begin or continue on your Alzheimer's journey. We hope you find the list useful. If you know of a worthy source of information, don't hesitate to contact us so we can share it with other Alzheimer's patients and families. Click here for a printable list (pdf)
A person who has Alzheimer's might become agitated when once-simple tasks become difficult or impossible. To limit challenges and ease frustration:
Your loved one's ability to function and cope will steadily decline. It might even vary from day to day. Try to stay flexible and adapt your routine as needed.
For example, if a favorite food suddenly becomes unappealing to your loved one, adjust the menu. If your loved one starts insisting on wearing the same outfit every day, consider buying a few identical outfits. When your loved one is bathing, switch the worn outfit for a clean one.
You might also relax your standards a bit. Bathing, for example, might not be necessary every day — especially if it's upsetting for your loved one. Try sponge baths between showers or tub baths.
Alzheimer's disease impairs judgment and problem-solving skills, increasing your loved one's risk of injury. To keep your loved one safe:
Each person who has Alzheimer's will experience its symptoms and progression differently. Consequently, caregiving techniques need to vary. Tailor these practical tips to your loved one's individual needs.
Remember, your loved one's responses and behaviors might be different from what they used to be. Patience and flexibility — along with good self-care and the support of friends and family — can help you deal with the challenges and frustrations ahead.

Unit #101 This unit offers privacy that is unparalleled on Maui and is just steps from the Ocean, pool and BBQ area. With the condo unit being two stories and on the corner of the building the ocean air and breezes fill the unit, eliminating the need for air-conditioning.

pristine. I am almost afraid to say it was the best unit we have ever stayed in because of its location…almost over the water, because it may be next to impossible to get reservations for our next trip."

Absolutely beautiful. Didn't want to leave the Lanai.Ever. The Cove is beautiful and supplies it's own entertainment. Between the snorkelers having so much fun with their discoveries day and night and the Turtles, why would anyone want to leave that Lanai.
Aloha Krista,

Six of us spent a week at Honokeana Cove this month in unit #101 and had a great time! The unit is well-equipped, comfortable and plenty of space for a group. We relaxed at the property, snorkeled many times in the cove and thoroughly enjoyed the landscape
of the property. Saw so many sea turtles and gorgeous fish. The complex is quiet and well-located, would definitely return in the future.
Mahalo for making the Cove your vacation destination. It was a pleasure has you ladies here. Unit 101 is super and is the perfect spot to enjoy all that the Cove has to offer.
See you next time in unit 101!

James L from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental
From the moment we walked into Unit #101 at the Cove we new we had found paradise. From the beautiful parquet floors in the entry, the soft carpet under our bare feet and the expansive views from two different levels, we loved our vacation in #101. This
unit appears to be recently upgraded with new stainless steel appliances and beautiful wooden fans upstairs. We followed the owners instructions on how to keep the unit cool and found that between the natural breeze and the air movement from the expansive
fans we were always very comfortable. Sitting up high on the wrap around lanai upstairs allows you to look into the water and see fish and turtles in their natural habitat. The privacy afforded by being a townhouse on the end of the complex made us feel like
we were the only ones at the Cove. We cannot wait to return to Unit #101, it was outstanding.
We are so pleased that you were able to enjoy this beautifully upgraded unit that is an oasis all its own. The owners pride themselves in offering both comfort and splendor to their guests - and the views from our property are incomparable! We look forward to seeing you in the near future.

a guest from Boulder, CO recommends this vacation rental
We stayed in unit 101 this time, and although we have appreciated all the units we've stayed in over the years, it is hard to imagine a more beautiful unit and location. The staff at Honokeana have always been friendly and professional. We spent as much
time as we could enjoying the unit itself while just relaxing and taking in the beauty of the cove from the lanai and bathing ourselves in the beauty of the coral reef and its creatures. We all agreed it was the perfect place to take a break from daily life
and become refreshed.
Of course, there is much to enjoy in the general area, too, from the Kapalua resort to Napili to Lahaina. We hope to come back next year.
Aloha Karen,
Now you are spoiled! This unit is the best for location, décor, privacy. You must remember to book early in order to get it again. We look forward to seeing you again unit #101!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It's great for family gatherings. The condo was everything shown in the video. Very clean and well-maintained. The staff at Honokeana were friendly and helpful. A few suggestions that would be helpful for future stays.
In the master bathroom shower, put in a grab bar when stepping out of the showerarea. In the master bedroom, the dresser should be replaced because the drawers were not useable because of the strong musty smell oder. By the water so many turtles and pretty
fish to see. A few were coming up on the beach to sunbathed. The Gazebo Restaurant is a great place for breakfast and lunch. We look forward to staying here again.
Aloha George & Adrianne,
Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I shall past them onto the owners. This unit is the perfect place to really relax and enjoy all that the Cove has to offer. We hope to see you again soon. Book early to get this sells out fast!

Catrina C from Capistrano Beach, CA recommends this vacation rental
From the moment we walked into unit 101 at Honokeana Cove, we were at home. Our family was divided on what type of place to stay during our trip to Maui, resort or condo, so we did both! After enjoying waterslides, gym, poolside food and cocktail service
of the high-end resort, we moved to Honokeana Cove. The tranquility and raw natural beauty of the bay coupled with the charming architecturally pleasing 70's vibe of unit 101, made it the easy winner of the trip by all family members. We swam with turtles,
and enjoyed endless views from the expansive upper and lower lanai's. We would certainly return, or love to own this beautiful home. Cons: No A/C, which was definitely missed. We would have loved to have had access to the unit's washer and dryer, as the machines
up at the office left our clothes and towels wet, in addition to the inconvenience of having to wait for the loads to finish. It would be nice to throw a load in and go to the beach. Small potatoes, though. All in all outstanding.
Aloha Catrina,
It was great to have your family here at the Cove. This unit is the best one here for a large group. This time of year A/C would be nice but otherwise this unit does not get the afternoon sun which helps to keep it cooler than most. Thank you for your comments; the owners are aware of all comments that come through.

Honokeana Cove is a draw for us. We've taken our family there close to 15 times through the last several years and it keeps calling us back. We thought about a different island but we love Maui and the Cove so much that we couldn't make a change. The staff
are very accommodating and friendly. The units are comfortable and meet our needs well. We've rented several different ones through the years. The kids love the pool. And snorkeling is some of the best on the island. Lots of turtles! It's location is great
as well. The sunsets are incredible! We love the Cove!

Hadn't been to Cove in 9 years. It's wonderful & timeless. Unit 101?far exceeded expectations. Well stocked, great furnishings, with large comfortable rooms. The decks are great hangout spots regardless of the time of day. Would blow the kitchen up, so
that the dinning room, & kitchen would be one great room. Would remove carpets & install title. As always Su was great to deal with. A real asset.
Aloha Steve & June,
It was great to finally have you back at the Cove to celebrate your wedding anniversary with all of your family. Let's make it an annual thing! This unit is the ultimate perfect spot at the Cove for family gathering. You can never go wrong with unit 101!

Marci C from Westford, MA recommends this vacation rental
This property is beautiful! We all walked in and said WOW! The view from the master bedroom on the first floor and the family room on the second floor is breathtaking. We loved the floor to ceiling windows and doors throughout the oceanside of the property.
The art work throughout the home was also wonderful. The balcony was so lovely, we chose to stay in some nights and eat dinner there. Every morning we woke up to cove full of sea turtles. The snorkeling right outside of our door was amazing! The staff at the
property were welcoming and helpful with some local tips. We stayed in the property with our four teenagers and the layout of the home and the 2 1/2 bathrooms worked perfectly for us. I would recommend this property to everyone. The only minor issue we had
was with one of the sliders in the master bedroom which kept coming off the track. It was no big deal since there was another one in the room but I thought you should know. We did not use the pool at the property and the size of the pool might be a drawback
for some but the outdoor space of the condo itself and the presence of the cove made it completely unnecessary for us. It was an extra benefit having filtered water in the fridge door so we didn't need to buy so much bottled water. The Times grocery store
was reasonably priced and great for stocking up on breakfast good, beer, wine and snacks.
Aloha Marci,
You are officially spoiled. This unit is a choice location and is beautifully decorated. The views are spectacular. Hurry back and experience another awesome vacation in unit 101.

This was an amazing vacation and an amazing condo. A perfect location for relaxing and snorkeling. Not the best place to bring kids, more on the quiet adult side, but a beautiful condo with a beautiful view. Quick easy walk to beaches, shops, farmers market
and restaurants. Highly recommend...if you don't have little kids.
Aloha Ryan,
thank you for your comments. Here at Honokeana Cove we experience different "flavors" of guests. In the winter months we tend to have the older, quieter guests and in the summer months or holidays, the families with children are here and it is very different. So choose wisely when making your reservations at the Cove. Everyone is welcome at anytime but if you have a preference select your perfect month to be here. This unit is perfect for 3 couples or a family of six; you can't go wrong with unit 101.

We enjoyed our stay at Honokeana Cove very much. Our unit was spacious inside and also enjoyed large lanai's on both the top and bottom level. We used the top deck lanai each morning for breakfast and whale watching. Outside grounds at Honokeana Cove are
lovely. Staff was friendly and attentive to our requests. Outside bbq was convenient to use and other guests (many of whom have been returning for decades) were friendly and casual. A terrific holiday.

There were six of us and we never felt crowded. The townhouse is huge. The view from both lenais was amazing. 101is even better than the description! The entire property is clean and beautiful. Su and Crystal in the office were friendly, professional,
and helpful. I had a lot of questions about various things I had read about and they had all the answers. I emailed Su several times before we arrived with questions about the cove( did we need water shoes, she recommended them) and (what to bring to the Pupu
party, she gave me some ideas). When I finally met Su, she was even more friendly and helpful. The west facing blinds on the second floor were stuck. Sue sent someone to repair them the same day. The owners had Su get us a gift card to Beach Bums BBQ for the
inconvenience. We did not expect anything and we really appreciated the excellent meal at Beach Bums. This speaks to how professional, kind, and thoughtful Su and the owners are. We spent a lot of time snorkeling in the cove. The water was warm, clear, and
calm. In the evening, we sat on the upstairs lanai and watched as the turtles came out of the water to rest on the warm rocks. We also had a magnificent view of the sunset. We had a 3 minute walk to a very popular breakfast spot. Sometimes we ate out and sometimes
we barbecued by the pool. The walk to the coastal trail took a little bit longer. My daughter did the Shark Dive at Maui Ocean Center. The rest of us watched then spent time exploring the aquarium. This was our 5th vacation in Hawaii and definitely the best
so far. We will be back and we will request 101 again.

Our family was completely overwhelmed by our stay at Honokeana Cove #101!! The pictures don't do the unit or the views justice! We are a family of 6 and this property was very spacious and comfortable for us, actually even bigger and more open than we
expected.. There are breathtaking views from both lanais and the living room and master bedroom. Our highlights for this property were: just sitting on the lanai and getting caught up in the peacefulness... also saw MANY whales and turtles daily- had breakfast
on the lanai every morning. Loved snorkeling with sea turtles, swimming in the pool, listening to the waves crash all day and night, the scenic walks around the cove and to Napili Bay. The unit had everything we could need and was in very good condition. We
didn't want to leave and are already trying to figure out when we can come back!

Sheila B from La Mesa, California recommends this vacation rental
We stayed at this property for 10 days in early Dec 2016. We brought our mid 70 year old parents for a total of 5. The master bedroom is huge! We asked for a king configuration for the loft bedroom. This was not done when we arrived but was corrected the
next day. We also had an outside light that needed to be replaced and was done so immediately. The loft bedroom is very open. There is no privacy and you can hear anyone in the kitchen or living area. There are about 8 steps to reach the living area (level
2). The 2 other bedrooms are on the main floor and there are over 10 steps to reach the living area and kitchen.
There are 2 outdoor balconies that wrap around the condo. They had great outdoor furniture to lounge in and there was an private grassy area beside the condo. The condo was located right on the bay. We saw turtles and had some of the best snorkeling.
The grounds are immaculate. The pool was a bit cool, but a great place to lounge. They have bananas growing on the property and we helped ourselves.
The area in which the condo is located is quite a bit north on the island.
We enjoyed this location because there were few condos in the complex and it was pretty quiet. Very few kids and a lot more retirees.
We ate mostly at the condo. We ate at Maui Brewing one night which was excellent and barbeque at Imu. Snorkel Bob's was within walking distance & we use them every time we visit the islands. They're fantastic!
All in all, our trip was fantastic! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. We might try a smaller condo next time. Mahalo.

This is my second time to Honokeana Cove, and my first time staying in Unit #101. Since I brought my family along this time, we needed the extra space. The location, views and grounds are wonderful and just as I remembered. We had some of the best snorkeling
on Maui just steps away from our condo. The sea turtles were a highlight. The unit itself is clean and well-appointed with some of the best views of the Cove overall. It was perfect for our family with the only drawback being stairs if that is an issue for
anyone in your family. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this property to others. I could sit on the lanai for hours and enjoy the view which is just what I did many days. I cannot imagine coming back to Maui and staying anywhere else but Honokeana Cove.

Unit #101 is a dream home at Honokeana Cove. We have stayed in the Kahana area for decades and this was our first time in the coves/bays above in Napili. The cove/bay has quieter water for snorkeling, for gorgeous fish, and we counted 20 turtles on one
snorkel outing. The grounds are peaceful, the people are relaxed, respectful, quiet, and friendly. You feel you are living in a neighborhood/village, not a come and go vacation spot. The unit is beyond tasteful..the owners should take great pride in their

My parents, brother and I stayed at Honokeana Cove the week of January 11, 2016 and it was an amazing unit! The views alone made this place and our vacation unforgettable. The two-story unit was great for us to spread out and have great views of the cove
from wherever we were in the unit (the master suite has windows/sliding glass door that allows you to see everything!). The unit was very neat and clean, with plenty of seating, kitchen supplies and books/games to entertain you on your downtime.
It was perfect to have morning breakfast on the upper balcony while overlooking the cove and seeing Molokai off in the distance (you can even see the green turtles swimming and humpback whales out in the ocean). Water Works Sports is nearby to rent snorkel
equipment - snorkel with the turtles, variety of fish, and an occasion moray eel down in the coral. The community pool was very nice and never packed, if you aren't a fan of getting into the ocean. There is a semi-private grassy area to the side of the unit
to layout. The entire landscape was very well maintained and beautiful.
Cathy and Su were great with answering any questions and providing suggestions on things to do. You are about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Lahaina, which wasn't a bad drive to go out to dinner or walk the streets.
We would all highly recommend this unit and the entire Honokeana Cove property for your trip to Maui, as we hope to come back and visit someday! You'll love the views!

a guest from Woodside, CA recommends this vacation rental
Overall, this is a lovely place but I'm not sure we will every come back. Unit 101 is the largest unit and has the best view. The unit was clean and has nice furniture with a furnished kitchen. Snorkeling is very good in the cove and we could see several
turtles. You must watch getting in and out of the cove however since it is very rocky. Many people sit out during the day and evening to enjoy the view from their lanai's; the only draw back is that everyone can see everyone else so there really isn't much
privacy. In addition, there was one person on the upper condo unit next to us that would sometimes smoke, even though it clearly states that no smoking is allowed. I saw 2 other families; otherwise, there were a lot of older people at the condo complex. Unfortunately
the pool is also not heated and was very cold, even though the outside temp. was 82 degrees. The other problem is that our dishwasher wasn't working. After complaining twice to the onsite management, we were informed that a new dishwasher was scheduled to
be installed the following day. Obviously they were aware of this problem before we checked in 4 days earlier, but no one told us this; and if we hadn't complained the 2nd time, I'm not sure when they would even had told us that an installer was coming into
the condo. I would have been surprised and upset if they had come in unannounced! There is also no air conditioning, and although there was some trade winds, it was very hot at night. You can also see the lights on another condo complex across the cove from
the master bedroom and living room, which they keep on all night. The condo complex is walking distance to the beautiful Napili Bay Beach and Kapalua Beach, both of which has good snorkeling and much sandier.
Aloha Lyndia,
Thank you for your comments. I really wish you had come to me when you saw someone smoking on their lanai. Unless the office is made aware of this, we can not correct the situation. We are a small complex and privacy on the lanais are virtually impossible since each unit should face the ocean. That is the very first time I have heard that complaint in the 22 years of managing here. The lights next door at Napili Point resort are security lights and we also have lights that sometimes bothers them.The dishwasher was not broken. It needed to be closed properly to make it work. Since I had a few guests that seemed unable to grasp that concept, I then advised the owner to purchase a new dishwasher. Ant time a new appliance or handyman is coming into a unit, we always notify the guests in order not to disturb them during their vacation. Our little Cove is known for the best snorkeling in West Maui. At the South end of the Cove there are steps into the water; that way you do not have to climb down numerous rocks. My senior guests have no problem entering and exiting the Cove for their daily snorkeling. Napili Bay is a 5 minute walk next door if you want to play in the sand. Our pool is heated and, then again, if you were not happy with the temperature, I wish you had come into the office to let us know. the resident manager could have raised the temperature for you as he has done before for guests. When staying here at the Cove, please come into the office if you have a problem, we will do our very best to make your stay more enjoyable. Why wait until you are home to let us know; I can't fix it after the fact.
Mahalo and I hope you will return back to our little slice of Paradise.

Staying at Honokeana Cove was a great choice for us. We had two teenagers and stayed in the end 3 bedroom unit #101 which was spacious and was private being on the end with our own lawn area. Snorkelling with the dolpins in the Cove was a terrific experience,
as we saw up to 5 at any one time and if you are gentle they swim right up close to you as they are used to people. We would have liked a kettle in the kitchen to boil our water but used a saucepan to make our tea. We kept mainly to ourselves as we went into
Lahaina to do some shopping at the outlets (Yes they do have some in Maui!)Our apartment felt like a home away from home - thanks Su Campos for helping with my arrangements for this stay

Grounds and management as lovely as ever. Unit 101 in very shabby condition, therefore overpriced. The unit was as clean as the condition allowed, meaning the cleaning staff did a good job, but the carpet is old, dirty and spotted, and needs to be replaced.
Needs new appliances, window coverings, screens, furniture needs at least to be repaired (cabinet doors falling off), was advertised as 3 bath but only 2.5, dishes are chipped and mismatched, drinking glasses are plastic and cracked. We love Honokeana Cove
and have been coming here for 20 years or so. But I would not rent this unit again unless it was updated. We paid almost $500 per night.
Aloha Lynn,
Great news! This unit was sold and the new owners have already spent lots of money to upgrade this unit. You would be impressed if you could see it now! The new owners will be constantly monitoring their unit to make sure it stays up to the Cove's standards and beyond.
Can't wait for you to come back to unit 101 soon.
mahalo for your review.

We have rented several years at the Cove, our second time in 101. The owner did make some updates since our stay last year, although they do need to replace the refrigerator (the door shelves fall off when anything is put on them). The carpet should be
cleaned regularly, as it was very stained. This year, we were a bit dissatisfied with all of the construction that was occurring and felt we should have been notified prior to arrival, so we could have made alternate plans, if needed. The constant hammering
and generator noise was not welcomed when we came for some peace and quiet. I think management should space renovations out, so one group of vacationers are not subjected to all the construction noise that we had to experience during our stay. We were not
happy about this.
Aloha John & Karen,
great news! This unit has a new owner and upgrades have already been made: new carpet, new paint, new furniture, new beds, new blinds, etc. and all new kitchen wares. I hope you return soon to unit 101 to see the new facelift!
mahalo for your review.

We spent a week at Honokeana Cove. The condo was very large with great views of a turtle-filled cove. The complex was beautifully landscaped and very well kept. My kids and I went snorkeling every day and there was a nice staircase going right into the
water for very easy access. There was also a nice shower next to the pool, so we could rinse off after we finished swimming in the ocean. We went swimming every day and had a great time. I would highly recommend this complex for a fun family vacation. It is
clean, well-landscaped and very relaxing. We had a great time and will undoubtedly return to this location for future vacations.
Aloha Bob,
Mahalo for your review. This unit was recently sold and the new owners have already implemented some great upgrades. I sure hope to see you again soon in unit 101.

Honokeana cove is the perfect place to be when in West |Maui. Unit 101 is right on the water so the lull of the waves is such beautiful music. Sometimes the waves have to compete with the birds, they come out at sunrise and sunset but you get used to them.
To be able to walk around the bend to Napili Beach, spend the morning and return for a snorkel with turtles some of which are just resting on shore, amazing! Love it here, quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Perfect.

We found this little slice of heaven 21 years ago, and wouldn't even consider another location for our Hawaiian vacations. We come back as often as possible and it never disappoints. Honokeana Cove is perfect for those who don't want a buttoned up, air
conditioned, elevator access room, but rather a home away from home right on the water's edge. Additionally, Su, the reservations manager is the best, and treats her guests exceptionally well, just like Ohana.

We've been staying at Honokeana cove for over 20 years and would not even consider staying anywhere else on Maui for vacation. Unit 101 has amazing views and stays cool in the afternoons. The cove is the best snorkeling we've found on the island other
than Honolua bay which is just 10 minutes away. The manager, Su Campos, is very professional yet warm and friendly- and funny!! Just a great experience EVERY time.

As always, the Cove was wonderful. The exterior rennovations are beautiful. Our first time in Unit 101 - the view and space are extraordinary. It's need updating, some are in progress and very nicely done but they have a way to go. Sliders really need
to be replaced - very difficult to open and close. Sue in the office and the cleaning crew are awesome as usual!
Aloha Jim & Cindy,
This unit was recently purchased and the new upgrades are amazing. I am sure you will love to come back to this unit again soon.

Claudia T from Fairfax, CA recommends this vacation rental
The condo was very comfortable and pleasant overall. The art was beautiful. The views from both decks were great and we enjoyed watching the turtles, snorkeling, and in April watching the whales. Great! Our only minor complaint might be that the shower
in the master bathroom was awkward and didn't feel that safe: no bar and the knobs to turn the water on were on the opposite end of where the water came out, so it took some fidgeting. And the screen doors always seemed to be coming off. But only the shower
was really some problem to me. Overall, a beautiful condo and a beautiful experience altogether! Our family loved it!
Aloha Claudia,
This unit now has new owners and they have already upgraded a lot in the unit. It looks 100% better and I am sure you will be pleased the next time you rent unit 101.

What Are the Symptoms of Heartburn?
Your e-mail has been successfully sent to the recipient.
Heartburn can come in many forms and be triggered by a number of causes. Understanding heartburn symptoms can not only treat heartburn, but it can help prevent it as well.
Although each individual experiences heartburn in his or her own way, there are common symptoms most people can recognize. For most people, it's a burning feeling in the chest just behind the breast bone. This sensation is caused by acid refluxing into the esophagus and typically occurs after eating, lasting anywhere from a few minutes to hours.
The pain can worsen by bending over, lifting, or lying down, particularly on the back. Some people experience a burning in the throat or a sensation of a hot, sour acidic or salty taste in the back of the throat. Other symptoms that might be associated with heartburn are difficulty swallowing, the sticking feeling in chest or throat, or a chronic cough sore throat or hoarseness. If you're experiencing these symptoms, contact your doctor. They might be caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, which needs to be diagnosed.
To better understand what might be triggering your heartburn, begin keeping a diary of your symptoms. Use a diary to take notes on the following details:
If you decide to contact a doctor, the heartburn symptom diary will help them better understand why you experience heartburn and the kinds of treatment that will most likely ease your symptoms.
While reporting your symptoms might be enough to make the diagnosis in some cases, the doctor might decide to perform different tests to determine the severity of your condition.

This morning I woke up extremely early, I assume a side effect of my immense excitement, and had breakfast with the relations. After taking the toddler for a spin in the park I head off taking various modes of public transportation to the airport. This whole part of the journey went very smoothly and I soon landed in Amsterdam. I had a little time before my next flight and went for a little wonder. The airport itself is rather ugly, however what the airport was filled with made up for this, from a tulip garden to a cheese house one could find everything you needed and more.
My flight to BKK left late in the afternoon and I was glad to find myself sitting at the window. The flight was spend watching a variety of movies and gazing out the window, at least until the sun set. (Which it did so in a stunning display of purple and violet over Bohemia). After a few bumps just north over the Bosporus we flew over the Caucasus mountains and the Caspian sea.
Roughly half way through the journey we crossed over Afghanistan and a short while later came to the highlight of the flight. The Himalayas. A crystal clear sky allowed a perfect view of the moonlit snowy valleys below.
I then landed safely in Bangkok (translates to "City of the wild peaches") Haven't slept for quite a bit and now have to go meet up with my travel companions. Hopefully I will find them.

But this post is a little bit different. For this one, we are going to go backwards.
It turns out, it's a lot easier to be an UNsuccessful athlete than a successful one. I can fit most of it into a single post!
1. Don't bother doing any research or reading. Nobody ever improved their BODY by exercising their mind- get real. Whether you're coaching yourself, or being assigned reading by a coach that you've hired, this can come to no good. You're just going to second guess everything you already know and ultimately not learn anything useful to implement anyway. And if your coach really needed you to know something, they'd just set aside the time to teach you one-on-one, rather than giving you resources, which is incredibly lazy. You pay them to do the thinking for you, right?
So there you have it. I've spent years compiling information on how to be a successful athlete, but it only took a few months of experimenting and observing to figure out how to be a bad one.
So now we can just scratch those things right off our lists and carry on being better than that, yeah?

You may think that knowing when you are in labor is obvious, but for many women, it may not be so simple.
At times, women may experience symptoms of false labor, including Braxton Hicks contractions (also known as practice contractions) which, although similar to real contractions, are not labor.
Determining what is real labor and false can be accomplished by clocking contractions, timing how long each contraction lasts for and how long it takes from the start of one contraction to the next.
If you are having Braxton Hicks contractions, they will be irregular and go away in time. They may resolve with walking, lying down or through other changes in activity, but true contractions and labor will not resolve and will increase in intensity.
This MNT Knowledge Center article will look at the three stages of labor and how you can tell that labor is about to begin. The article will also examine rapid and prolonged labor, when to go to a hospital and what forms of pain relief are available during labor.
Signs of labor
There are several signs that labor may start in the near future. At times, a woman may notice that the baby is sitting lower in the pelvis; this is referred to as "dropping" or "lightening."
Cervical changes may become present on physical exam, and "nesting" - a strong desire to tidy and organize the house - may become more evident. The nesting instinct is not experienced by everyone, however.
Additionally, some women may experience a bloody mucus discharge indicating the loss of their mucus plug as labor nears. If your water breaks, labor will likely ensue and your health care team should be notified.
If you have questions about any symptoms you may be having during this time, it is important to speak with your health care provider to determine if there is a need to be seen in the office or hospital.
Stages of labor
There are three stages of labor: the first, second and third stages.
First stage of labor
The first stage of labor describes the time at which labor begins until a woman's cervix is fully dilated to around 10cm. This period can last anywhere from 12-19 hours in duration. The first stage of labor is divided into three phases: early, active and transition.
The early phase is the time at which labor begins until the cervix is dilated to around 3 cm. This phase lasts for 8-12 hours. Contractions are mild, irregular and last for about 30-45 seconds in duration. There is a 5-30 minute rest period between contractions which cause symptoms such as lower backache, cramping and pelvic pressure or tightness.
These contractions will soon become regular and more intense. During this time, the amniotic sac may rupture (also known as when the water breaks). Most likely, you will be at home during this phase.
The active labor phase is the time from 3-7 cm cervical dilation. When the active labor phase starts, you should head to the hospital. This phase lasts for 3-5 hours. Contractions become stronger, lasting for about 45-60 seconds in duration, and there is 3-5 minute rest period between contractions.
The transition phase is the time from 7 cm to full dilation to 10 cm. This phase is often accompanied by nausea, hot flashes, chills and shaking. The transition phase generally lasts for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Contractions are intense and last 60-90 seconds in duration. There is only 30 seconds to 2 minutes of rest in between contractions.
Second stage of labor
The second stage of labor is the time of full dilation (10 cm) to birth. This is the time when you will push and lasts for 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Third stage of labor
The third stage of labor is the time when the placenta (afterbirth) is delivered and takes around 5-30 minutes. Women will often experience shaking and shivering during this stage of labor.
Rapid or prolonged labor
Labor duration can vary from woman to woman. It may follow the typical stages and times of labor as described above but, in some cases, women may experience rapid or prolonged labor.
During rapid or precipitous labor, a woman experiences only active labor, birth and delivery of the placenta; this type of labor typically lasts anywhere from 3-5 hours in duration.
Alternately, there are some women who experience a prolonged labor or failure to progress. During prolonged labor, the duration lasts from 14-20 hours and is at times a cause for concern, especially in the active phase of birth.
When to go to a hospital
Your health care provider will give you specific instruction on when to present to the hospital. However, you should always speak with your health care team about any concerning symptoms that may be cause for emergent evaluation.
It is important to head to the hospital when:
- You show signs of being in active labor (strong, regular contractions 3-5 minutes apart)
- Lower back pain or cramping develops that does not resolve
- Your water breaks
- Bloody-brown vaginal mucus or discharge is found
- Other concerns arise that may signify an emergency.
Pain relief during labor
All pain is not equal and women may experience pain differently during the labor and delivery process. While some women do not require pain medication, many do. There are various ways to manage pain during labor which include both natural and medicinal methods.
Natural methods
Natural methods of pain management during labor include:
- Breathing and relaxation techniques
- Water
- Massage
- Applying heat or cold - with a cold washcloth, for example
- Support from a loved one or doula
- Positional changes
- Visualization
- Guided imagery
- Aromatherapy
- Listening to music.
Medicinal methods
Medicinal methods of pain management include:
- Opioids: these are injectable medications that can be delivered into a vein or muscle. Medications typically used include morphine, butorphanol, fentanyl, Nubaine and Demerol.
- Epidural and spinal blocks: during an epidural, a catheter is placed in the lower back through which a combination of medications including narcotic and local anesthetics is typically delivered. A spinal block is typically a single injection of pain-relieving medication into the spinal fluid.
- Pudendal block: this form of pain relief requires an injection of medication into the vagina and pudendal nerve. Medications used during this procedure include lidocaine or chloroprocaine.
- General anesthesia: this form of anesthesia is rarely used. However, it is necessary in certain situations. During the administration of general anesthesia, a total loss of consciousness is obtained with a muscle relaxant and nitrous oxide.
Speak with your health care provider about the risks and benefits of each form of pain relief to see which option is best for you and your baby.
Childbirth: how should women facing labor approach their birth plan?
Aside from painting the nursery and learning how to change a diaper, pregnant women and their partners need to make decisions on how they want to bring their child into the world. Whether by natural, drug-assisted or surgical means, there are associated risks and benefits across the board, depending on the circumstances. In this feature, we examine different birthing methods and their outcomes.
Scientists discover muscular 'switch' that controls birth contractions
In a world first, researchers in Australia have discovered an electrical switch in the uterus that does not seem to work properly in overweight pregnant women and may help explain the high rates of cesarean delivery in this group.

Grilled Chicken with Romescu
I love trying new things when cooking, new flavors and textures, new foods and new cuisines. This past week I experimented with a new sauce, romescu sauce. This sauce is one of the many delicious looking sauces in a great cookbook I have, The Sauce Book by Paul Gaylor. Just flipping through this book is so interesting. It is set up by region/country and I love seeing what people eat all around the world. I've been eyeing this romescu for a while now, it has pretty simple ingredients, and they're all ingredients that I love; roasted red peppers, tomatoes, paprika, almonds, garlic, what's not to love! Boy was I right, this sauce was absolutely delicious, the perfect accompaniment some summer grilled chicken.
This cookbook has a little blurb about each sauce before the ingredient list. I love this because it gives you a little idea what you can do with each sauce. Before the romescu the author writes:
One of the great Spanish sauces, dating back hundreds of years to Tarragona in the Catalonia region. Whether made with hazelnuts or almonds, it never fails to impress. I think I've served it with just about every type of grilled fish, vegetable, meat, even fried eggs - utterly versatile.
I agree, it is utterly versatile, and super simple to make. I had it with chicken one night, on a sandwich as a great spread the next night, and a few days later as sauce on a grilled Spanish inspired pizza. And there are so many other ways it could be used. This is definitely one sauce I will be making again. It's so easy, and you don't even have to cook anything (except the pepper if you don't have any roasted red peppers on hand)
Just making this one recipe got me thinking about Spanish cuisine, and I realized how little I know about Spanish food. I can only name a few Spanish dishes off the top of my head (paella anyone?). This recipe has therefore inspired me to try out some other Spanish foods. This is my goal for the summer, learn about and how to cook Spanish food, wish me luck!
The Sauce Book
by Paul Gayler
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 slice white bread, cut into cubes
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2 cup almonds or hazelnuts, lightly toasted
- 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or 1 dried red chile)
- 1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
- 12 ounces roasted red peppers
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 8 ounces tomatoes, blanched, peeled, seeded and chopped
- salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan, add the bread cubes and fry until golden. Add the garlic, almonds or hazelnuts, red pepper flakes, and paprika, and cook for another 30 seconds.
Transfer to a blender and add the roasted red peppers and vinegar. Blitz to a pulp. Using the feeder tube and with the motor running, gradually trickles in the remaining olive oil.
Add the tomatoes, blitz again, and season to taste.
