Never give up: Fighting a hospice denial
Below is one parent's experience fighting a denial of hospice coverage to ensure continued access to this valuable service for their son and family.
The most important thing that I can say, is to NEVER GIVE UP!!
This disease requires that your family find strength and courage to keep going forward. Our 29 year old son has an advanced diagnosis of FTD. In May of this year we were notified that the effective date for coverage of hospice services would end on May 28th 2010. We, as Brad's parents and his only voice, filed an immediate, independent medical review (appeal). The independent reviewer asked many, many questions including why we felt he needed hospice care. You can also submit any additional information in writing that you want. We asked Brad's neurologist to send a letter in support. I don't think that we would of been successful without the detailed letter that this FTD expert sent in support of continued hospice care for Brad.
The guidelines that are used to measure qualifications for hospice care for patients suffering from FTD or any other form of dementia is all based on criteria around Alzheimer's disease. How unjust is this! They talk about following the usual course of the disease. PLEASE, there is nothing usual about frontotemporal dementias except to expect the unexpected. The main problem with these guidelines are that patients with FTD are dying without hospice support because their disease leaves them young ,strong, and usually mobile until the day they die.
Hospice care is underutilized because it is set up to fail these patients. One of the indicators for decline that they look for is aspiration pneumonia. Choking and aspiration would occur easily if we didn't insist on Brad being fed or at the least having someone assist him while he tries to feed himself. Should hospice care be withheld or discontinued from our son because we protect our loved one from not choking? It can require extra coordination and advocacy to present FTD symptoms and signs of progression in a way that hospice recognizes and understands as fulfilling their guidelines.
When our son was able to talk with us he would ask, "am I safe?" We promised him that we would keep him safe. The most important thing that we have found with this disease is that it is so much better to be proactive than reactive. We prepare by planning for the worst, but hoping for the best and dealing with the rest.
We would be happy to share more about our experience with hospice if it would be helpful to anyone facing a similar situation.

Gendarmes called in to protect valuable truffle harvest as seasonal price rockets
Never let it be said that Gallic gastronomes would allow either an economic crisis or thieves to get in the way of their seasonal delicacy.
As the price of the rare Tuber melanosporum – otherwise known as the truffle – rocketed to €1,200 a kilo, producers have called in gendarmes to protect their valuable harvest.
Officers of the military force are patrolling the production areas in the Drome in southeast France and have also reportedly set up roadblocks to search cars for stolen fungi.
Several thieves have been arrested, according to producers, who harvest the "black diamonds" between December and the end of February.
Truffles are used, by those who can afford them, to flavour their Christmas and new year meals.
"Every year, around 15 days from Christmas, the prices soar as people want truffle for their seasonal preparations. It's also the time when the thieves hit our plantations," one truffle producer told Le Parisien newspaper.
Véronique Fauvier, captain of the gendarmerie at Nyons, at the heart of the truffle-producing Vaucluse region, added: "We are carrying out patrols day and night in the remote areas near the woods.
"We have a precise map of the areas where the truffles are found. For the last two years we have worked with the truffle producers who alert us when they see a suspect vehicle."
Stop and search
In the normally peaceful villages around the area, gendarmes have also taken to stopping drivers and searching their vehicles for stolen truffles.
France produces about 1,000 metric tonnes of what is known as black Périgord truffle each year, 45 per cent of world production.
About 80 per cent of the truffles in France come from the southeast.
The tubers sell for up to €1,200 in farmers' markets, but can fetch three times as much in shops in Paris.

I think some relevant benchmarks might be found in the original trickle-sync paper (this policy is similar to the "read priority" they describe some System V buffer caches implementing, with mixed results). SGI has an interesting general-purpose policy with two queues, pulling a configurable number of requests from each queue in turn, that is described in the release notes for a recent version of Irix. It appears to perform reasonably well for both interactive and fileserver workloads and might be a better default than either our current policy or NEW_BUFQ_STRATEGY. I've posted a pointer to it here before -- if anyone wants to implement this but can't find the details I'll dig them up again. -- Thor Lancelot Simon email@example.com But as he knew no bad language, he had called him all the names of common objects that he could think of, and had screamed: "You lamp! You towel! You plate!" and so on. --Sigmund Freud

3 year old discipline and sleep problems
Our daughter just turned three a few weeks ago. Pretty much from about that time, she has started a few bad habits.
1. She has begun to lie awake in bed, moving about and playing. It now takes us up to 2 sometimes 3 hours just to get her to sleep. We have always been a co sleeping family and, generally we all go to bed together. However, DH and I can't do this anymore. We're losing sleep because of it. We've gotten so frustrated that we're both raising our voices at her, making threats (that we generally follow up on), and just recently banished her to her bed which has always been next to ours though she's slept in it a grand total of 5 times. We got her a dream light to see if it would give her something to focus on, but it actually seems to have made it worse with the stimulation.
On to #2:
Same time frame. She has been refusing to listen to me or Dh. She will purposely do something she knows will upset me and come to see my reaction. Eating has been a really hard one. She won't eat. She won't even try what's on her plate. I tell her she had to try everything before she says she doesn't like it but it doesn't work. Tonight I tried having her sit at the table until she was finished. She sat there for a while, then decided to see if she could make a game of getting down and back up again. Finally we just took her to bed, dinner uneaten. (she fell asleep).
That was just an example, but there's more and I feel like I just keep yelling at her rather than actually solving a problem. I need help figuring out what to do!
Extenuating circumstances that are important to note: I am due any day with baby #2. Being this pregnant is definitely inhibiting my ability to play with Ayla. She is excited though and genuinely seems happy to meet the new babe. I have been moving things about the house In preparation. Her stuff has only benefitted however with better organization.
Ok thanks for reading the book! I'd appreciate any help. :-)
Re: 3 year old discipline and sleep problems
Sounds like a typical, tyrannical three year old showing their independence and possibly acting out to get your attention now that she senses big changes are coming soon.
Be patient with her ;)
Ah patience, where do I find that again ;)
Re: 3 year old discipline and sleep problems
I have a 2 year old with the same kind of thing going on, and yes the sleeping problem definitely got worse when we had baby 2 recently. But in the end, we decided to not fight her wanting to stay up. So I refused to make a big deal out of it, I ignored her and she got bored because she wasn't getting any attention from me that way. I also read her 3 stories every night to spend some alone time with her and that helps because she really enjoys it, and if she doesn't behave then I take the books out of her room. Hang in there, in the end she is probably testing to see how much attention she can get.
Good luck with #2
We are still napping though I think she'd be ok to give it up once i go back to work. The problem we were having before I went on leave though, was that we'd pick her up and she'd crash out in the car which naturally would put bedtime in jeopardy. Since I've been home I've been fairly strict about nap time no later than 1pm and bed time at 8:30.
Oh and I have been really picky with her food throughout the day lately. With all the sweets available this time of year, I insist on her eating something healthy before she gets a treat.
My oldest gave up her nap just before 3 and if she did nap, bedtime was torture. It was still a balancing act trying to keep her awake in the car etc, during that transition, but it made bedtime much smoother (we moved the time of that up a bit) and she had no ill effects. And we coslept too. She did move to a bed beside us after baby came. As to the behavior, I'd agree with the others. Excited about baby, testing limits, and being 3. 3 was MUCH worse than 2 for my oldest. It's just so hard when you're so pregnant and exhausted and anxious yourself. Hang in there!
Re: 3 year old discipline and sleep problems
:hugs: I think it's pretty normal, even though it's frustrating as heck. Well, I hope it's normal, as I feel like you're describing DD's behavior for the last couple of months :giggle2:
She'll be 3 in March...she sleeps in her own room, but it can frequently take her over an hour to fall asleep. We keep trying to switch her to a "big girl bed", but she keeps asking for the side of the crib back on or just plain refuses to stay in bed. Late nights are not an option, since we're up at 5am for both of us to work.
If anybody has any magic about switching from crib to bed, LMK!
And the attitude! It's like talking to a teenager! DP asked DD to do something the other night..."Not right now, I'm awfully busy." :jawdrop: This morning she tried to "quit" time out. And when she doesn't want to do anything? "No way. No WAY! I said no WAAAAAYYYY!"
I think I may take up drinking before she is done toddlerhood.

Nina Simone's Daughter Says Biopic Project Starring Zoe Saldana Is Unauthorized
The internet is in an uproar over the news that Zoe Saldana has signed on to play Nina Simone.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Shadow and Act reports that Saldana had been plucked to play the iconic piano player and vocalist and singer in an upcoming biopic going into production on October 16th.
Now Nina's daughter is speaking up and she's revealed that the project isn't even authorized:
Greetings Nina Simone Lovers, Simone here.
I have read many of the comments am happy you all took the time to share your thoughts and feelings.
Here's mine:
When the announcement initially hit the press with MJ Blige cast as Nina (about 6 yrs ago) I heard it along with everyone else. The story was written as a love story between my mother and her former nurse, Clifton Henderson and primarily takes place during the last 8 years of her life.
Please note, this project is unauthorized. The Nina Simone Estate was never asked permission nor invited to participate.
I have seen many names regarding who you think should play the role of Nina. Remember Angela Bassett as Tina Turner? SHE NAILED IT! Angela Bassett is an ACTRESS! And, we all know she lip synced along with Tina and did an amazing job. Personally, I prefer an actress to a singer. Just because a person is great at one does not mean they will be great at the other. If written, funded and CAST PROPERLY a movie about my mother will make an lasting imprint.
My vision of a movie about my mother includes SO many pivotal moments that are monumentally important towards relaying the journey of a woman whose journey began as a child prodigy born in North Carolina in the 1930′s…too many to list here but, trust when I say the tale will inspire through the sheer sharing of HOW Eunice Waymon became Nina Simone, The High Priestess Of Soul renowned worldwide. How many of you know my mother's FIRST love was classical music? Do you know the hours she practiced preparing to audition for the Curtis Institute of Music only to be rejected because of the color of her skin? **After my mother made her transition I accepted a diploma from that very same institute with a speech she began writing but was unable to finish prior to her death.** As a child, my mother was told her nose was too big and she was too dark yet she graduated valedictorian of her high school class – The Allen School for Girls – AND, skipped two grades. Nina was one of the most outspoken, prolifically gifted artists using the stage to speak out against racism during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960′s. Her friends included Betty Shabazz, Lorraine Hansberry (my godmother), Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Miriam Makeba, Stokely Carmichael, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings and Queens worldwide. Had she become a classical pianist, which was her dream….shattered, I doubt she would have found her true destiny. Nina Simone was a voice for her people and she spoke out HONESTLY, sang to us FROM HER SOUL, shared her joy, pain, anger and intelligence poetically in a style all her own. My mother stood up for justice, by any means necessary hahahaha YES, she was a revolutionary til the day she died. From Tragedy to Transcendence – MY VISION. The whole arc of her life which is inspirational, educational, entertaining and downright shocking at times is what needs to be told THE RIGHT WAY.
By the way:
Clifton Henderson was gay. He was not attracted to women. So, the truth is…Nina Simone and Clifton Henderson NEVER had a relationship other than a business one.
Please correct me, but isn't a biopic the story of one's life?
I have faith things will work out the right way and my mother's real story will be told. For all she endured while here and all of the lives she has touched, she DESERVES to be remembered for who she truly was; not some made up love story from a former nurse/manager (now deceased) who sold his life rights because of his relationship to Nina Simone.
Ciao Y'All….Simone
It sounds like Nina Simone's estate doesn't have a lot of faith in this project.
Which brings us with a few other issues. First of all there's the obvious one that Zoe Saldana is a Dominican woman with light skin and very European features, while Nina Simone had the full lips, dark skin and a kinkier hair texture. We also have to ask whether Zoe can carry this kind of part. She does so many romantic comedies and action films we can't remember the last time she did drama much justice. It sounds like Nina's daughter would rather an actress than a singer like Mary J. Blige. Who would you want for the role? We think Jennifer Hudson might be good or Viola Davis if it's an older Nina we're talking about.
In the meantime, if you're really against Zoe, there's a petition going around at Change.org you can sign HERE.
However, Zoe Saldana is a great actress and Mary J Blige Can not act!
Please discuss!

Marmalade Me
Published by E.P. Dutton New York, NY 1971
The New York Times Book Review
In the early sixties Johnston was the most interesting and per-ceptive writer on the emerging generation of modern dancers, chronicling their comings and goings with a dedication that no one else manifested and showing a discerning interest in their works.
New York Magazine
"If anyone in the future wants to find out about the sixties, he will have to read Jill Johnston's column," [said John Perreault] . . . referring to Jill Johnston's famous reportage on far-out dance events that appeared in the Village Voice through the nineteen-sixties. The better part of "Dance Journal" has now appeared in book form as Marmalade Me. It is these percep-tive, detailed eye-witness descriptions of the new dance, plus a real understanding of what was taking place, that gives Marmalade Me its historical interest. . . "It is poetry. It is criticism. It is history. It is self-revelation," wrote Gregory Battcock. This is true. Jill Johnston's subconscious, like a well-fed computer, gets progressively more lucid and articulate.
Rosalind Constable
Rolling Stone
Marmalade Me is an anthology of articles by Jill Johnston that first appeared in her weekly quote dance unquote column for the Village Voice. The time span is the Soaring Sixties, when everybody was perpetually high and perpetually crashing. The topics range from New York multi-media happenings and concerts to I-narrative trips across the US and Europe. Johnston's style . . . is brilliant. There are one-liner gems scattered throughout like stars: "Genius is a faculty for clever theft."
Wendy Schlesinger
Culture Hero
. . . Jill Johnston is regarded as a natural force to be feared, coaxed, contained, jousted with, enjoyed, never ignored.
George Segal
Johnston was clearly a genius. Last time I tried to buy Marmalade Me, it was out of print and Amazon had used copies starting at 125 dollars......

A shadow object has an offset into the object that it shadows (i.e., offset 0 in shadow object, is not always offset 0 in shadowed object) so you need to adjust the offset as you traverse the chain. May have to watch out for differences in size as well. As implemented you will be potentially cleaning/flushing more than you have to. If a page exists in a shadow object, it may also exist in every other object further along the chain. You only need to clean/flush it from the first object. For example, if every page in an mmap'ed region has been modified, every page will be in the top level object and there is no need to go any further. I'm not sure what the most efficient way to implement this is though... > I don't consider either of the above two problems serious, since they > don't affect vi (as far as I can tell, vi should be using MAP_COPY > anyway) and they don't affect running executables.

If you have an untouched page mmap'ed with MAP_COPY, and someone modifies it through the buffer cache, you will see the changed version when you do touch the page. If MAP_COPY worked correctly, you would see the original version. If you want true copy semantics, use read.

Damien Cahalane -- a star minor
Damien Cahalane
A STAR minor on the team that reached the All-Ireland final in 2010, his selection on the Cork Under 21 side the following year came as no surprise.
He filled the full-back slot in the last two campaigns, but he is equally at home at midfield and in the half back line, as was evidenced when he played a leading role at No 5 during Castlehaven's march to county senior championship glory in 2012.
Good in the air, and never one to shirk a tackle, he possesses all the competitive qualities of his father, former Cork great Niall. He has already played senior with Cork in the league this season, and it's expected he will figure prominently in Conor Counihan's plans come the summer.
John O'Rourke
ANOTHER in his third season involved with the Under 21s, the Carbery Rangers clubman also made his senior debut in the league this season.
Impressed at centre-forward in the games against Dublin and Kildare, scoring three points in the clash with the Dubs at Croke Park, he will probably be filling the No 11 shirt again on Wednesday night. Always eager for work, he has plenty of pace which, along with his vision and penchant for scores, makes him a very hard forward to contain.
Brian Hurley (Castlehaven)
REGARDED as one of the most exciting prospects in the county after he did much to signpost Cork's path to the 2010 All-Ireland minor final, his season was decimated by injury the following season. As a consequence, he missed out on the 2011 Under 21 campaign, but he underlined his potential when turning in a man-of-the-match display in last year's Munster final against Kerry.

Upon successful completion of the course, a co-op placement is possible although not guaranteed. This placement is unpaid, however; occasionally full time employment may be gained from this opportunity.
Our student volunteer program allows secondary school students to obtain their compulsory hours of community service for graduation. In addition to fulfilling this requirement, students have the opportunity to gain real life experience within their community.

Buying your first home is an emotional experience that most people never forget. Depending on the circumstances, it can be good, bad or ugly. When we bought our first home (a small two bedroom condo), we soon realized that we were real estate rookies that had a lot to
Related: Lessons from a First-Time Landlord
Here are some of the things we learnt when we bought, and how first time home buyers can learn from our mistakes.
Pre-Possession Inspection
When we bought the condo I wish we would have scheduled a pre-possession inspection. A quick inspection should be done 48 hours before possession day to ensure the property is as advertised and all conditions will be met on possession day. Turn on all the lights, check the condition of the floors/walls, inspect appliances and ensure hot water is running to all taps.
We didn't even know this was an option but I wish we would have done it. On possession day the floors were dirty, there were stains on the walls and a couple of the outlets did not work. Nothing more than a minor annoyance but it could have been much worse, and a walkthrough prior to taking possession would have solved it.
Choosing the Right Mortgage
For most people I would recommend that they stay away from the 5 year fixed rate. Lenders play into the emotional aspect of buying your
first home. They pitch the 5 year fixed mortgage rate as offering stability and security for buyers.
Related: 3 Reasons to Avoid a 5 Year Fixed Rate Mortgage
In reality, they make the most money off of it and it generally costs more to go with the 5 year term. I would recommend considering a 2-4 year term, fixed or variable, as the interest savings are likely well worth it. We went with the 5 year rate initially – and I regret it to this day.
Independent Home Inspector
An obvious tip is to get a home inspector, but many people don't realize the importance of hiring an independent home inspector.
When we got our condo inspected, we trusted our realtor to provide the name of a reputable and diligent home inspector. What we didn't know
was that the realtor gets a commission for each referral they made, so they had an incentive to refer us to him. The inspection went okay with only a couple minor issues noted, but I still wonder what would have been found if an independent inspector was used.
Pressure Tactics
When we bought our condo we were led to believe there would be multiple competing offers made that same night if we did not make an offer right away. We felt we had no choice but to make an offer, so we did. I feel like we caved under the pressure and I wish we would have stepped back and not succumb to the pressure sales tactics. It was a silly mistake in hindsight, but buying a home (especially a first home) can be very emotional which can lead to mistakes.
First time buyers should never get into a bidding war and if they feel pressured at any point, they should step away and reconsider the purchase.
Conclusion: Our first real estate purchase taught us a lot of little things I wish we would have known beforehand. Live and learn, I suppose, but hopefully there are some potential first time buyers out there who can learn from our mistakes and not make the same ones we made.
How was your first home purchase? Did it go as planned?

IMF extends credit period for Kenya
Friday January 29 2016
The International Monetary Fund has extended the precautionary loan to Kenya by a month giving the government more time to draw the funds in case of a major macroeconomic shock.
The $687 million loan was approved by the fund's executive board in February last year. It is meant to protect the shilling from major depreciation against the dollar and other world's leading currencies.
It is also used to boost the country's foreign exchange reserves to shield the economy from extreme shocks.
The extension will provide time for government and the IMF to conclude ongoing discussions on a similar type of loan for this year.
"The executive board of the International Monetary Fund approved on January 27, an extension of both Kenya's stand-by arrangement and arrangement under the standby credit facility to March 15, 2016. This extension will provide time to the authorities to finalise fiscal measures for 2015/16 and implement structural measures under the program," said IMF in a statement.
The IMF now projects that the economy will grow by 6 per cent this year, shifting from a forecast of 5.6 per cent last year, helped by farming and minimal exposure to the expected slowed growth in emerging markets like China.
In April last year, the Fund had estimated that the economy would grow by 6.5 per cent but it scaled down to 5.6 per cent in December citing slow rollout of infrastructure projects, weak receipts from tourism and fluctuations in capital flows.
Upon approval of the government's request for a precautionary loan from the IMF in February last year, $535.5 million was immediately given to the government to draw if need be.
The first review of the country's performance under the credit programme was conducted by the IMF's executive board in September which approved access to $76.3 million of the remaining amount.
Treasury cabinet secretary Henry Rotich said that the country will only draw the funds if there is a real shock necessitating its usage, hinting that the credit remains untouched.
Data from the Central Bank of Kenya shows that foreign exchange reserves have stood at more than the recommended four months of import cover, providing cushion to the local currency.
A technical team from the IMF that was in the country in December to review its performance raised the alarm on the growing current account deficit.

Martial Arts for Kids: Never Too Young to Start
When I was a boy I always loved spending time with my grandparents, they were amazing people from an older school of thought. As soon as my grandfather would see me coming he would throw out his arms for a hug. Immediately after that he'd throw up his fists.
It might seem strange to a lot of people, fighting your grandfather before being allowed into his house, but it wasn't an act of aggression or malice. The old man simply wanted to see how my skills were progressing. He boxed his granddaughters too.
He believed it was never too early to start a child's instruction in the martial arts. There are so many benefits of this sort of training and discipline. It has been shown to improve behavior, academic performance, social development, and physical development of children. But most importantly, it greatly improves their chances of survival and safety in any unfortunate situation that might arise.
Martial arts training requires a full body aerobic and anaerobic workout which helps children release excess energy and keep their brain chemistry balanced. Over-diagnosed conditions like ADHD are often not the horrible debilitating congenital defects that slothful school administrators and well dressed pill pushers often claim that they are. In many studies performed on children diagnosed with ADHD it was found that making improvements in child's diet and adding activities like Jiu-Jitsu or other martial arts training is often more effective than medications. And it is so much healthier.
One of the big problems a lot of modern kids have is a lack of physical activity; no one goes to the park to play ball anymore, they play at home on the game console. If a child is bored there is no need to imagine an activity or move around to find one, they can simply switch on the television. This has lead to an ever growing trend of childhood obesity, childhood diabetes and behavioral problems manifesting themselves at school. A few hours a day, a couple days a week, is all it takes to start reversing these negative behavior patterns that so many children are developing and often maintain until later in life. By starting physical fitness and martial arts education early you teach children the value and joy of these activities at a time in their lives when the lesson is most likely to be taken to heart.
The ancient Greeks taught that a healthy mind inhabited a healthy body, but they didn't really need to do that. It's kind of obvious. By maintaining a routine of regular exercise such as martial arts training a child's body and mind develop in a healthy way, as they would in a more natural setting. The child also learns to maintain long term focus in order to achieve goals, a very valuable and often overlooked life skill that will help them excel to the very best of their abilities in school.
By finding a safe and reliable school like Peak Performance Martial Arts in Keller, Texas, will you can give your child the fitness and focus to succeed in school and life while also helping ensure their safety by allowing them to study an ancient combative art such as Jiu-Jitsu.

Ipe Deck Restoration
Ipe Deck Refinishing
Over the past 10-15 years Ipe wood has become a staple in modern deck building. It is prized for its natural reddish brown color, tight grain, and long lasting strength and durability. Although beautifully built and designed Ipe decks pop up each day, not much is known on how to properly care for and maintain this valuable exotic hardwood. Contrary to popular belief, just because someone knows how to construct an amazing deck, it does not necessarily mean they know how to correctly protect it so it is maintainable moving forward. A common mistake made by many is the application of the wrong type of coating or even more common, over application. This leaves the wood black and sticky and almost unusable. Over the course of almost two decades, we have seen it all and there is no challenge too great for our team. Teak Master will restore and properly protect your investment so it can be enjoyed for years to come.
Deck Refinishing Technique
We stated that we have seen it all when it comes to nightmarish projects, and that is actually an understatement. We have seen brand new decks with 3 or 4 layers of oil and anything that lands on it sticks to it, even a poor old bird in one case! Owning this type of wood deck does not have to be so difficult.
We begin each and every Ipe deck refinishing project with a thorough evaluation. We look at how the deck has been maintained through the years. We look for previous coating that may still be on the surface and check to see how long the deck has been left unprotected.
Our deck refinishing technique begins with cleaning to remove surface dirt, gray oxida-tion, previous coating, and any contaminants that have landed on the surface. Strippers and harsh chemicals are almost never used because we do not want to chance run off ending up damaging plants or hardscape and god forbid ending up in our oceans. Good old fashion cleaning and sanding usually does the trick and will eliminate even the most stubborn coatings. Once the surface is clean, thorough sanding will be employed. Sanding is absolutely necessary because it removes debris that cleaning does not. It also exposes fresh new and smooth raw timber, while opening the grain. The surface will be cleaned with wood brightener to promote color and eliminate contaminants such as mildew and black mold. The wood will be coated with penetrating sealer specifically formulated to Ipe and hardwoods decks. The sealer is applied the old fashioned way by hand with a brush. This ensures maximum penetration while achieving an consistent application even between boards.
Deck Maintenance
It seems like maintenance of decks is a taboo subject. Many gather snippets of mis-leading information they read from the internet or from their general contractor. Where else are you supposed to go, right? Teak Master is here to set the record straight. There are two main factors to determine when it's time for maintenance, microclimate and its visual appearance.
The various microclimates of Southern California each have their own properties that can break down a protective coating. Climates such as Malibu, La Jolla, or Newport Beach will need maintenance more often because of the constant barrage of moisture and slat air. Inland city climates such as Los Angeles, San Diego, or Calabasas receive constant sun and high heat that can also contribute to weathering. Also, despite manufactures claims on longevity of any particular product, the only official way to determine frequency of maintenance is by visual inspection. We formulate a maintenance schedule based on these factors coupled with years of experience servicing Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura, and San Diego.
We begin our service with a thorough cleaning to remove the accumulation of debris on the surface. The wood may be spot sanded to remove stubborn stains and water spots. Wood brightener will be applied to promote natural tone and help prevent mold and mildew. The same sealer will be applied by brush to replenish and nourish the wood. The vibrancy will be restored and the surface will be protected for roughly, the same period of time.
Protective Coatings
The best way to protect your Ipe deck is with application of an oil base penetrating seal-er. The naturally dense cell structure and natural oils in the wood can make applica-tion of the protective coating difficult. Our proprietary blend of Ipe sealer has sophisti-cated solvents that allow oils to penetrate deep into the surface. The protective coat-ings also have special UV reflectors called trans oxide pigments that prevent the wood from premature graying and oxidizing.
We apply the protective coatings with a special marine grade brush that holds a large amount of sealer. Each and every board is sealed from end to end to achieve a clean and even look. Brushing the sealer allows us to coat between boards as well. The oils are allowed to penetrate and excess is wiped clean with a rag. We never apply coat-ings with anything except a good ol' fashioned brush.
Our Ipe sealers are a one coat system, which means multiple layers are not needed as the wood can only accept so much oil. We never apply varnish or water base coatings to horizontal surfaces because they will blister and peel and are not maintainable. In fact, varnishes and water based top coatings are unsafe when wet.
The oils will magnify and highlight the natural grain and color of the Ipe wood and will dry matte. Sealers are also available in various tints to slightly change the natural appearance of the wood. Over the course of several months, the oils will naturally dissipate due to weathering characteristics in your area. General maintenance of your deck will be in the range of 4 to 8 months or whenever visually necessary.
Protecting Your Ipe Deck
The damaging effects of weather will immediately attack wood that is unprotected. We recommend protecting your new Ipe deck within 2 weeks of it being built. Allowing 2 weeks before application of the protective coating will give the wood time to acclimate and expand and contract with hot and cold. It will also allow some of the natural oils to dissipate so the protective coating can penetrate.
We begin our new deck sealing process by lightly sanding to remove mill glaze and open the grain. We will clean with brightener to eliminate contaminants. The wood will be coated with oil base penetrating sealer specifically formulated for Ipe decking. The sealer is brushed for a clean and even appearance. Never apply multiple coats to any deck to avoid stickiness and a shiny appearance. The sealer magnifies the natural grain and color of the wood and dries matte.
Being a relatively newer wood type used for decking, Ipe has a plethora of fastening systems. Many of these systems are not as well designed as others and problems may arise. We are experienced with all types of fastening systems and can help correct boards that may be loose or fastened incorrectly. We can also replace severely cupped or checked boards with new.

Santa doesn't visit me much anymore. Not because I'm naughty or anything, but because I'm older, wiser. And I buy a lot of my own stuff these days. So… Not a lot of boxes under the tree with my name on them. No worries. I don't need anything come end of December. If I need it, I buy it. If I don't, I set it back on the shelf. Need vs. want. It's a lesson I tend to harp on with my kids.
However, this year I had a brainstorm. It's lettuce season in Central Florida which means I'm making several trips to the garden per week collecting lettuce leaves, washing and drying them and of course, devouring them. I mentioned this to my daughter, along with a hint that I could really use a salad spinner.
"What's that?" she asked.
"An automatic lettuce dryer."
You can imagine the disgruntled look on her face. "Seriously? You want me to buy you a lettuce dryer for Christmas?"
I nodded. "I do."
Being the good daughter that she is, she obliged her crazy mother's request. And can I tell you? It's the best-gift-EVER. Really!
It looks simple enough–can be found in most any homeware department–but the results?
AMAZING. Wash, deposit, press, spin, pluck and voila! You have yourself freshly dried lettuce from the garden!
Warning: Please do not skimp on the washing step. There's nothing that wrankles a husband's nose quicker than crunching down on gritty lettuce.
Exactly. Lettuce isn't supposed to be gritty. It's supposed to be crisp, yes. Gritty, no. And lettuce fresh from the garden tends to collect dirt. Lots of dirt. So take a word from the wise and wash your lettuce thoroughly. I usually rinse mine in the garden, using the overflow to water my plants as opposed to allowing it to run down the sink drain.
I will give it another quick rinse in the kitchen–but a very quick rinse–then I deposit it into the spinner bin (I actually collect my leaves from the garden using the spinner bin). Push down on the center "spin" button and away we go! Can you see the droplets of water collected on the inside bowl?
Fabulous. Less than a minute later, I pluck freshly dried lettuce from the bin and transfer it to my salad bowl. Genius.
Now I realize the holidays have passed, but perhaps you have a birthday fast-approaching? Special anniversary? Aw heck, why not go out and spoil yourself with a surprise purchase. You'll be glad you did!
And if you harvested too much lettuce for one serving, refer to my terrific storage tips. Click here for full details on how to store your lettuce for days (although pass over the tedious drying methods used in my example. It's needs an update!!).

Training With Disability
The more I grow this site, the more I learn that all types of women work out. It has inspired me no end. As such, it has become increasingly important to me that all those women are represented. I realised recently, that I have not yet given a voice to those women with disabilities who are figuring out a way to live active lives despite the body restrictions they may have. So I reached out to Katie Jayne Vale, whom I follow on Twitter. She has Hypermobility Syndrome/Ehlers Danlos Type III. After years of being told she couldn't work out, last year she started her journey back into an active life. Here, she tells her story.
Guest post by Katie Jayne Vale
By the age of seven, I'd broke my arm three times. It was always assumed that I was just clumsy. We now know otherwise.
HMS / EDS is where I have a lack of collagen in my body. Therefore the ligaments in my body don't work. They're like over-stretched elastic bands, so pretty useless really. This effects my entire skeletal frame, plus my organs.
I dislocate regularly and have subluxations on a daily basis (where the joint isn't fully in the right place nor is it out). I am in pain 24/7 and can wake any day with random swelling, bruising or dislocation of any joint or disc in my spine.
My organs are effected too. I have heart palpitations, I vomit a lot because the muscle at the top of my stomach doesn't work. It also effects my bowel and bladder. But it's not all doom and gloom….I have really gorgeously, soft skin!
As we had no idea I had any health concerns, I started dancing when I was 3. I was a natural and I loved it. I continued to do more classes and exams and was becoming an extremely competent dancer. By the age of 12, I was dancing five days a week, 3-5 hours per day. At show/exam time this increased to 7 days a week.
It was around this time that I started having major problems with my hips and getting daily pain. I told my parents and was told it was just 'growing pains.'
After about 3 months, I'd had enough. I got my mum to walk behind me down the middle of our garden whilst holding my hip joints. I remember so clearly turning to face her and she was speechless and drained. With every step I had taken, I had dislocated my hip but managed to get them back in for the next step.
We went to my GP who stated that this extreme hip flex was due to my ballet dancing. In ballet you turn your feet out and he said I'd forced my hips too much & thus this was 'self inflicted.' I was told that my hips were in such a bad state that it'd be a miracle if I reached 40 and wasn't in a wheelchair.
My GP refused to send me for any treatment unless I gave up dancing. I wouldn't even entertain that idea. I loved dancing and would cope. And so I did.
Fast forward 9 years and I'm living in Spain. I had some knee pain for about six weeks, then one morning I woke to find it had dislocated in my sleep. I was taken to hospital & put in a cast.
When I returned to the UK I demanded answers from my GP. By this point, I had a catalogue of unexplained injuries, so they sent me to a rheumatologist and finally I was diagnosed. The relief was insane! Finally I had a name to my condition and no one could tell me I was exaggerating, lying or being overly dramatic.
I carried on working as a performer. Now I had a name for it, I thought I could treat it myself & carry on as normal. Mother Nature decided otherwise.
After about four years of performing professionally I had to retire from the stage. The devastation this caused me is the most pain I have ever felt, both physically & mentally. My body had let me down. The one tool I rely on couldn't cope anymore and I felt shame, humiliation and anger.
To get me through a show day, I was out of my face on up to 12 prescription pain killers per day. On an off day I would just lay in bed, unable to move. I was 25 and my mum was having to get me in and out the bath, get me dressed each day and do all my housework. That's humiliating.
The next few years are a blur of me doing random jobs, paying for lots of alternative therapies and learning to cope with day to day jobs. It also involved putting on a lot of weight, because I was doing no exercise at all.
When I hit 27 I decided enough was enough and I began to sort myself out. The more muscle tone and fitness I have, the better for my condition. I knew what I wanted to do…..get back to exercise!
I had intensive physiotherapy and a huge amount of alternative treatments. My Physio has said that my body is so weak I shouldn't be able to stand, let alone walk, but because I was a dancer I learnt to move my body as I think it should, so I have dealt with it.
After a few years of this treatment I was ready for a personal trainer. My goal was to go one month pain killer free. My trainer specialises in rehabilitative care and I had to start at the very beginning. My first weeks homework was to prep me for my first plank. I had to lay on my bed face down & squeeze my stomach in for 30 seconds. I can now plank for 90 seconds & do variations.
Part of me was embarrassed that I was doing this simple stuff. I kept having to tell my trainer that I had once been fit & not to judge me for what he was seeing in front of him now. He didn't! He just encouraged me.
Within a year, I had done 4 months pain killer free. I had days during those months where I was in agony but didn't want to cave. I now see things differently – if I need pain relief I take it, probably twice a week.
On average I now use crutches one week a month. This is a new development for me. That first day on crutches last summer was a sad day; I went from sobbing hysterically to gorging on chocolate. Now I don't even think about it – if I need them, I use them. I have learnt to accept this help and assistance. I need to stop being embarrassed by myself but the stigma is possibly worse than the physical effects.
I've worked hard on my body & the fabulous thing for me now is that I'm able to go to a regular gym on my own without guidance. And I'm back at dancing & am currently training for new exams *woo hoo*
My first day in the gym was scary and nerve wrecking. There is a huge element of fear that I'll injure myself. That will never leave me; but I am loving it. I cannot explain what it feels like to go without exercise for nearly 10 years, through no fault of my own and now to be able to – it is over whelming!
Of course I have to know my limits, I have to be extremely careful and I have to know if I need a day off. I have learnt to read my body and I listen to its every signal.
I have a new 12 week program that I'm following, but if I need a day off or I can't do what is planned, then I don't. It's taking longer than the 12 weeks to do it, but I will do it.
This week, for the first time, I went to the gym on my crutches. Someone helped move a bench and weights for me and I did all my arms & shoulders! At least I could say that day I did some exercise and worked up a sweat.
My goal now is not to go pain killer free, I know that I need assistance. It's not to go without crutches, I know I need them sometimes. But I don't want to be in a wheelchair at 40; I refuse point blank to be. And if that's not incentive enough to get my butt to the gym in the morning I don't know what is! And I'm really proud to say out loud now that once again I love exercising & I'm never stopping again!

How Nice! You obviously appealed to her and she took pity on your indecision! I love hearing about random acts of kindness.ReplyDelete
Takie wybory są zawsze trudne :)ReplyDelete
Awwww, I loved the end of the story, with two peonies in the bag. How sweet. In years to come, when they are both blooming, you will remember the day you bought them.ReplyDelete
Great story. They go very well together.ReplyDelete
Oh boy that is very hard decisions. I always do the same thing. Sounds just like a man though. LOL! I had heard those same words so many times. They are all beautiful and I really like the one you brought home with you.ReplyDelete
I absolutely enjoyed reading this post and I felt as I was trying to make a choice too! Congratulations! You should have great plants! I also loved the pictures from the previous post. Wonderful images!ReplyDelete
I have only two Peonies now and both are Krinkled White a single peony. I had a yard full of peonies when I was a child and they were my favorite flower. I had pink at my last home. Oh, to find room for some more!ReplyDelete
These peonies are all so sweet. I would have chosen the light pink one too.ReplyDelete
That is a nice story with a very happy ending. Rouge Speckled Jade looks absolutely stunning. I can't help but wonder about the dark one. Is it the Great Prosperity? I can't wait to see them in bloom in your garden.ReplyDelete
The one(s) you got are gorgeous! Of course, they all are - that's why the decision was so hard. Fat Concubine!!! haha - I bet a lot of people get that one for the name!ReplyDelete
You made a good choice, it is very lovely. Very sweet of the lady to give you another one.ReplyDelete
You made a beautiful choice; the shading combines the best of all the colors. But how nice that the salesperson gave you two, especially adding the dark pink one. I think we could all use a "Great Prosperity" right now:)ReplyDelete
Same here, I cant decide which I like most, they are all so gorgeous! But that last one is really sweet as it has many shades of pink...and you are very lucky to get another one for free! Very nice of that girl...ReplyDelete
What a wonderful story! A gesture like that just makes my day. I have a similar dark pink peony in my yard that I hope to move this year so it gets more light. The light pink are beautiful but that dark one steals my heart.ReplyDelete
Lucky you to get two beauties for the price of one! It would of been a hard choice for me to make too, lol. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. :)ReplyDelete
I have a lovely deep pink Tree Peony that is still about 2 ft tall and it is lovely...how wonderful to find that as a surprise in your bag!!ReplyDelete
It is such a difficult decision!! You made a wonderful one, I love when peonies have lighter centres.ReplyDelete
The peonies are all beautiful but I think I would have picked the last one, too. I like the mix of colors. How incredibly kind of the sales girl to give you two peonies. Her kindness created joy for you, which you pass on through your blog and garden. It's a wonderfully happy karmic cycle! :o)ReplyDelete
Very nice choice! I love the two (or more) tones in the one you chose. Very delicate! Thanks so much for visiting my blog! Nothing much happening today, but I think I might have a crocus bloom by the weekend.ReplyDelete
Ahhh... PEONIES, you can't make a bad choice, they are all so lovely. What a wonderful gift, there are good people out there and most of them are gardeners.ReplyDelete
I will check this Peony Envy place out. Love the photos of the ones you were looking at. Have been looking for Charlie's White for our family garden. Hope they have it.ReplyDelete

Pulis tells Wenger: You can't fool us
Tony Pulis has reacted to the outburst from Arsene Wenger with a cool and calm response in stark contrast to the rantings of the Arsenal manager.
We make no apology in reprinting the whole of the statement issued on the Stoke City official site:
'Most Managers up and down the country are very protective of their Football Clubs and that protection is usually at its height in 'after game interviews', where we defend our team's performances and our players' mistakes in every way possible - from blaming referees not seeing players' indiscretions and so on. We have every angle covered.
In Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday evening Mr Wenger talked openly about Arsenal's encounter with Stoke, as being a 'typical English encounter'. He commended my team's organisation, my team's commitment and confessed that on the day Stoke City thoroughly deserved to win the game. Very open and very honest.
Over the weekend Arsenal have been criticised by the media over their commitment to not only our game, but also previous games they have been involved in.
In London 48 hours later and 150 miles away from Stoke-on-Trent, Mr Wenger changed tact and has tried to rewrite history. His comments about my team are there for everybody to read and certainly made me smile, along with I'm sure 27,000 supporters at the game, millions of TV viewers and the massed press who interviewed him after the game. Remember there was only one red card on Saturday and the last time I watched the game it certainly was not a Stoke City player who received it.
As for Rory Delap's challenges on Theo Walcott and Bacary Sanga - Rory is as honest and committed as they come, they were free kicks, but Rory would never purposely go out to injure a fellow professional - it's just not in Rory's nature. Don't forget not so long ago Rory was sitting in a hospital bed with a double fracture. Further as I recall the game Emmanuel Adebayor was booked for a chest-high challenge on Ryan Shawcross.
I and my Football Club have tremendous respect for Mr Wenger and Arsenal Football Club, but as Mr Wenger is such a learned professional and on a great day in American electoral history, I would like to remind him of Abraham Lincoln's great quotation, 'You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.'
Tony Pulis

Blackhawks edge out Senators in shootout: 'It was really nice to get a win'
Blackhawks edge out Senators in shootout: 'It was really nice to get a win'
It was a rare sight to see the Blackhawks in a shootout on Wednesday night.
It was just the second time this season — and first time at the United Center — that the Blackhawks made it past 3-on-3 overtime.
The last came on Dec. 2, 2017, a 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars in Dallas. On Wednesday night, the Blackhawks were on the other end, beating the Ottawa Senators 3-2 in a seven-round shootout. Nick Schmaltz netted the game-winner.
"We'll take it," coach Joel Quenneville said. "I thought we had a decent game tonight. Overtime not so good, I liked the shootout victory, Fors made some big saves for us particularly as the game got deeper. Our third was OK, I thought our first two were way better, and overtime we gave up some high quality, some bells were rings for a bit there. But it was nice to see the shootout win."
Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist, recording another multi-point game, his 16th of the season.
"I mean we need every point we can get at this point," Kane said. "There's still belief in this locker room. Obviously we need to go on quite a run and have a big record here down the stretch. But take it a game at a time and nice to get two points."
Anton Forsberg was a big reason the Blackhawks even recorded those two points. The 25-year-old netminder stopped 34 of 36 shots and made a handful of big saves down the stretch.
"It was really nice to get a win for sure," Forsberg said. "I would love to have a lot more wins, but right now just gotta look forward and get as many wins as possible."
Added Quenneville: "I think it was good for him to win a game the way he did. Lot of shots were on the line, as we progressed, got deeper, hitting the point first was big for him and for us and then finding a way to get the extra one was a good win."
Three Things to Watch: Blackhawks collide with Senators
NBC Sports Chicago
Three Things to Watch: Blackhawks collide with Senators
Here are Three Things to Watch when the Blackhawks take on the Ottawa Senators tonight on NBC Sports Chicago and streaming live on the NBC Sports app. Coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. with Blackhawks Pregame Live.
1. Trade chips.
The Blackhawks have reached the point in their season where they have no choice but to become sellers before the Feb. 26 deadline, and we saw that when they traded Michal Kempny to the Washington Capitals on Monday for a conditional third-round pick in 2018. Tommy Wingels could also be an attractive piece for a team looking to fill out their depth.
The Senators will definitely be sellers, and wow do they have some names potentially on the market that can fetch large returns: Derrick Brassard and Mike Hoffman are two players who log top-six minutes on a nightly basis and also have term left on their contract, which is great for teams looking to load up for this year and beyond.
The biggest name to watch, probably in the league altogether, is Erik Karlsson, who could be on the move if a team offers a big enough package for the Senators to pull the trigger now as opposed to in the offseason if they feel him re-signing is a long shot. He was the best defenseman last season, and if a team steps up to get him, they're getting two possible postseason runs out of him.
2. Artem Anisimov's experiment at left wing not working.
Joel Quenneville has tried rekindling the magic between Anisimov, Nick Schmaltz and Patrick Kane as of late, only this time Anisimov is playing the wing and it just hasn't been very effective. The trio was on the ice for each of the two 5-on-5 goals the Kings scored on Monday, and Anisimov completely lost his man on the first one.
It's important to establish a consistent left winger for Schmaltz and Kane, and maybe putting Alex DeBrincat up there is something you consider going forward as part of a long-term solution. Move Anisimov back down as the third-line center to play in more of a defensive role and continue using his big body on power plays for his offensive abilities might be the best bet.
3. Win the special teams battle.
In their last meeting against Ottawa on Jan. 9, the Blackhawks went 4-for-6 on the power play and 4-on-4 on the penalty kill in an 8-2 win. And those are two areas to look out for again.
The Senators own the 28th-ranked power play with a 16.1 percent success rate and 29th-ranked penalty kill with a 74.5 percent success rate. Get ready for another offensive outburst?
