A vegan quiche (or tart or pie or whatever you want to go with, I think really it's all of those things) is so deliciously good for this time of year, when summer vegetables like courgette are still abundant and yet the weather is turning decidedly autumnal, there's a chill in the air and comforting food is what everyone wants. We've so enjoyed a slice of quiche, with a big green salad for lunch, or steamed broccoli, sweetcorn and carrots for dinner, Dan with boiled potatoes and mint butter, me with extra veg. (And probably a sneaky extra piece of quiche if I'm honest, in the kitchen.) The quiche is rich and something fresh and plainer balances it out beautifully. Good homely food, one foot in each season, which is how we still feel. The sun is shining but the air is cold and damp. This morning I woke early and thought of frost. I laid in bed in the night and reveled in the howling wind, imagining its sweep across the miles upon miles of open hills all around. And then I dreamt of Dracula.
My appetite is growing so much and I've gone (gone? I hope so though I doubt it…) through a stage of eating rather a lot and really indulging in foods. (Back off puritanical guilt-feasting voices in my head! The baby is hungry! And, well, just back off… judgmental (or just mental) joy-sucker! Though yes, I should probably do some exercise and I would if I could even walk, okay, she said, clutching her back and groaning). LOL. Rant over. Shackles shaken. Slice of quiche anyone?
Pastry isn't something I usually make, it's so rich, and I'm limited by only using pseudo-grain and tapioca flour, but we've had pies and tarts and jam tarts, and all sorts of late. I've been loving experimenting and trying new things. Making jam with plums and apricots. Making this 'quiche' filling and messing around with it was exciting somehow. I've never eaten a quiche as I grew up not eating eggs, and it is the addition of gram flour and particularly black salt (which is in fact pink) that makes it taste eggy, it's the sulphur in the salt, which is rich with a bounty of minerals and goodness and so moreish. If you don't have black salt (it is widely available in Asian supermarkets and cash and carries, or online, try ebay or a health food supplier) then you can make this without and it is still totally delicious. As ever these things are versatile, if you eat tomatoes and have some beauties needing eating then slice and salt them and adorn the tart they'd be beautiful. Or if you eat butter then use that instead of vegan margarine, and if you prefer a less processed product then go for mild coconut oil instead. You could use spelt instead of buckwheat for the pastry. But if you want to try something different, or if you too are working with food restrictions and are embracing the vegan, gluten, soya or nightshade-free, this recipe is perfect for you as it is ♥
A slice of something is always so satisfying isn't it, having made a whole, and dividing it up into slices to share. Having prepared food for future meals, working hard now to make life that bit easier and nicer in the future. Having something to have a nibble on something a bit different but very homely. I love it. And using beautifully coloured vegetables too like red onion and yellow courgette is just so uplifting. Making creaminess from nuts and parsnips feels so right, and is so nutritious and luxurious to eat. A tart with a heart ♥
- 2 tbsp good olive oil
- 2 onions, one red one white, or one large white
- 1/2 parsnip/ 150g
- 1 slim leek/ half large leek
- 6 cloves garlic
- 3/4 can coconut milk
- 1 cup soaked cashews
- nut milk, dash of
- 6 tbsp gram flour
- 2 heaped tbsp bouillon powder/ veg stock(if not low salt reduce other salt to taste)
- 1 1/2 tsp black salt, or sea salt if you don't have black
- 1/5 nutmeg grated, to taste
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp finely ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs, a good handful. I love basil, you can also use dried but fresh tastes best
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- 4 tbsp coconut yoghurt/ cheese, optional
- 11/2 cups buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup gram flour
- 3 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup + 3 tbsp frozen margarine/ mild coconut oil
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 tbsp cold water
Soak the cashews, overnight is best but if you're short on time then soak them for 30 mins+ in hot water (the longer you soak the smoother and creamier they become when blended).
Clean, chop, boil, and when soft, drain the parsnip.
Drain and blend the soaked cashews with a dash of the coconut milk, the cooked parsnip and two of the garlic cloves until smooth, using a high powered blender achieves by far the best (i.e. smoothest) results here.
Heat olive oil and saute finely chopped white onion with the salt and the bay leaf on a low heat with the lid on for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until soft and browning.
Finely chop the washed leek and add that to the onion, stirring, and leave to saute with the lid on for 5 mins or so.
Add the creamed cashew and parsnip blend to the cooked onion and leek, on a low heat, stirring, and add the rest of the seasoning bar the fresh herbs (if using dried then add to taste now).
Mix the sieved gram flour with nut milk and stir until there are no lumps, add this to your mixture, stirring thoroughly as it thickens. Take off the heat.
Before pouring into the pastry base remove the bay leaf and add a squeeze of lemon and your chopped fresh herbs, to taste, leaving some leaves for a garnish.
Sieve the gram flour and add to tapioca and buckwheat flours in a mixing bowl with the salt. Grate the frozen margarine, or if you prefer a less processed more nutritious fat, frozen coconut oil, into the flour and mix gently until distributed evenly. You can use cold marge and cut in but freezing and grating gives a better pastry and you have to handle it less which is always a good thing.
Add the cold (as possible) water and carefully combine into a ball, squeeze gently, cautiously adding more liquid until it sticks together.
Transfer the pastry dough to the fridge, overnight, or for a couple of hours or so in a container or wrapped up in foil. It will keep for days in the fridge.
Preheat your oven to 180C/ 360F.
Grease your dish and flour your board and rolling pin.
Roll the pastry out to about 1/2 cm thickness, and transfer it to your dish, not worrying if it breaks as you can piece it together and press the pastry into the dish. Flour your hands so it doesn't stick and handle it gently.
Blind bake in the oven for 15 mins.
Spoon on your creamy mixture (don't forget to add your fresh herbs here if using them and to remove that bay leaf).
Thinly slice the courgette, red onion and the rest of the garlic, toss in a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt and arrange on top of the quiche.
Bake for 45 mins or so until nicely browning and cool in its dish.
If you have used fresh herbs then serve with a sprinkle more or a garnish of whole leaves.
Eat hot or cold.
To reheat it crisps up well by heating individual slices in a dry frying pan on a medium low heat for a few minutes or so.

Make Your Own Pizza Party -beautiful make your own pizza party, where guests create their own by choosing their toppings. Beautiful decorating ideas too.
I had a great week visiting friends and family in cottage country last week. Today I want to share a make your own pizza party that we put together. My sister is the manager of a camp, and they offer a few really fun workshops to their guests each week. One of the workshops is a make your own pizza party, where guests make pizza on the bbq -perfect for the cottage. Since I was coming up, I thought I'd pick up a few things to make it even more fun.
We decided to go with a fun orange colour scheme, with some white and kraft paper brown. I wanted a fun patterned tablecloth, and this one from Target was perfect. Our other big pop of orange was the fun tissue paper tassels that we strung over the table.
The beach and forest background couldn't have been prettier, but it did make taking pictures a little tricky.
I wanted to make a fun and re-useable centre piece for the table, so I collected some different letters to spell "Pizza", and leaned them against a rustic wooden box. I really liked how we added a little orange to a couple letters by adding some orange yarn. On top of the box, I planted some basil in a little tomato paste tin, and some oregano in a peeled tomatoes tin -I liked that it was imported from Italy too.
On top of our pretty tablecloth we layered some simple brown kraft paper, it made clean up easy, and worked great for writing our labels. We chopped lots of fun toppings, put them in simple glass bowls, and then wrote what they were right on the paper runner.
On the table we also placed a fun chalkboard, made from a pretty old picture frame, and some instructions for the guests.
One other sweet element of the table were these little clear bottles, with orange zinnias in them.
How To Make Pizza On The BBQ
- Start with the dough. My sister made the dough earlier in the day, and put individual portions in ziplock bags. She loves this recipe (just for the dough), if you're looking for a good one. We used waxed paper plates to flatten our dough on, then coated both sides with oil and salt and pepper.
- Next you're ready to grill the dough on the bbq.
- Grill until it's golden brown.
- Next top your pizza with sauce, cheese, and anything else you like. Then, turn off one side of the bbq, and place the topped pizza on the other side with the burner turned off, put the lid of your bbq down and leave it until the cheese is melted and the pizza looks done.
It's really delicious when it's done, with a nice charred, grilled flavour from the bbq.
We had a great time enjoying our make your own pizza party, it was so much fun. We had a great time chatting and cooking together, while we waited for the different steps. I really recommend it as a fun backyard bbq party with friends.
With a make your own pizza buffet like this, life really is a party!

S: Shaleko and Cherokee
FC: Shaleko and Cherokee By Bobbi Jane Ray
2: A special Thanks goes to my daughter Tanya for all of the help editing and to Julie Sanchez for your help with pictures.
3: Shaleko and Cherokee by Bobbi Jane Ray 2011
5: with all my love to mom and dad Thanks for the memories
6: MaryJane, Anna and Denna sat on the front porch steps waiting patiently for Pa to drive up the long driveway of their ranch. Pa had bought a race horse that was not able to race any longer. As he told the girls about the horse, they became very excited and even more so, when Pa told them that she was going to have a colt. When they saw Pa driving up the drive MaryJane hollered out to Ma, "Pa's coming Pa's coming!" Ma stepped out the door, raising her hand up to shade the sun as she watched the truck coming up. "Now girls, remember what your Pa and I said about getting in the way."
7: "Shaleko is probably very tired from her long ride and needs time to get adjusted to her new home. So, just wait until your Pa says it's okay to get around her, just be careful" Ma reminded.
8: Once Shaleko was ready, we took turns going to her corral and giving her carrots and apples. Pa said, "It's a good way to make friends with her and build her confidence in us."
10: One day we were walking through the corral , and noticed Shaleko lying on the ground and moving acting in a distressed manner. MJ went running just as fast as her legs carry her yelling " Ma Ma " Shaleko is sick- she's lying on the ground and seems to be in pain." Ma looks over at MJ, "Where's your sisters"? They stayed with Shaleko, MJ replied "Now MJ, you get on your bike and ride out to the orchard and get your Pa. I"ll get Doc Brown on the phone.
11: MJ rode out to the orchard to get her Pa. "Pa Pa" Yelled MJ as she came closer to the old flat-bed truck her Pa used to carry the baskets of apples to market. "Now MJ, slow down child , I can't understand you" | "What's the matter"? Pa, it's "Shaleko", she's sick- Ma's calling the Doc". "Alright let's get your bike up on the truck and head out to the corral, pa said
12: PA had to laugh out loud - by the time they got out to the corral Anna and Denna had Shaleko all set up a bright pink blanket and a fluffy pillow. Boy, what a sight that was. A cloud of dust rose up as we saw Doc's car coming up the drive. as Doc was getting out of the car, Anna and Denna went running to him grabbing his hand: "hurry Doc, she awfully sick"as they are pulling him along. "Now girls, you're doing a good job helping "Shaleko" but now since Doc's here, he can take over- go in the house and help Ma out". Ma reached out to the girl's hands and said " let's go make some lemonade, it's going to take a while.
13: MaryJane looked up at Pa, "agh," do I have to? I really want to help : Shaleko ". Pa could'nt resist the look on her face. "okay,MaryJane, ask Doc Brown how you can help"? "well now MaryJane , you sit here , rub her neck and talk to her". Doc replied- MJ smiled at doc and did as she was told. trying her very best to make Shaleko comfortable. As time later "Shaleko started to give birth, MaryJane kept reassuring Shaleko," it's ok honey, your going to be alright, Soon you'll have a baby colt". MaryJane looked at Pa and with a puzzled look asked pa," is the baby gonna be a boy or a girl"? We'll just have to wait and see", as Pa shrugged his shoulder.
14: And with that, the colt was born. "oh Shaleko", you did a good job- she or he is beautiful"! Doc confirmed that the baby colt was a girl.! "She's beautiful and spotted just like you" MaryJan exclaimed, giving "shaleko" a hug. "Shaleko" looked at MayJane with tears in her eyes. One would think she knew every word that was spoken to her. " Now MaryJane , let her up so she can meet her baby:, Doc said. Shaleko stood and moved over to meet her little one.
15: She licked the baby clean, just then Ma and the girls came out with a pitcher of lemonade. Excited to see the new addtion to the family. everyone chimed in " Shaleko" she's beautiful"!!
16: Anna asked Pa, "what's her name"MaryJane said, "silly girl" we got to find a name for her- she wasn't born with one". Just then Denna popped out with the name "Cherokee", just like the name of Pa's "jeep". Everyone laughed "shaleko shook her head up and down in agreement. Then, Pa and Ma looked at each other and said, "Cherokee" it is"!
17: And so; "Shaleko, Cherokee MaryJane Anna and Denna" lived very happy together.
19: The most beautiful days to remember are those that can be treasured. Follow your dreams and allow nothing to stand in your way. I can do all things through Jesus CHRIST who gives me strength. Phil 4:13
27: Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.
28: Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. ~Elizabeth Lawrence
36: Nature gives to every season, a beauty all its own. - Charles Dickens

Chicago Entertainment
Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States, and is just a short drive away from most Midwestern cities. This glittering city built on the shores of Lake Michigan is where you'll find some of the biggest and best entertainment outside of New York City and Las Vegas, including touring Broadway shows, professional sports teams, stand-up comedy and concert venues -- including the iconic Chicago Theatre and Grant Park, home of Lollapalooza. The second city is also home to year-round attractions and world-class museums -- the Field Museum, the Skydeck at the Willis Tower, Shedd Aquarium, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Chicago sports fans fuel their passion year-round as they cheer on the north side Cubs or south side White Sox in the summer, Bulls and Blackhawks in the winter, and Bears in the fall.

When her mother suggests she could preserve its memory Tahmineh has the idea of weaving an image of the bird into a chanteh - a shoulder bag, something she achieves with such artistry that it brings about a magical occurrence. The illustrations have a pleasing simplicity, using vivid blocks of colour and strong shapes in a story that itself attests to the miraculous power of art.

Read the Houston Press obit for this remarkable and tragically murdered community activist here:
Click here to enjoy Lisa E's photo gallery taken from her and Mushin's trip to the Mullet!
Lisa E. Sullivan, our beloved Founding Editor and her son Mushin had the opportunity a few years back to tour and paint at the now-legendary Kingspoint Mullet. While there, she met and got to know original visionary Johnathan Estes, and they two became friends. Just a short time later, Johnathan was tragically murdered in what is being called a robbery attempt. As far as we know, no arrests have ever been made. Here, she writes on this sadly departed artist and the impact his loss will have on the community.
Johnathan Estes - Gone But Not Forgotten
by Lisa E. Sullivan
Founding Editor, Rivethead Magazine
Andrew asked me to write this story a little over a week ago. I've tried to find the right words and it's just not that simple.
Every once in a while someone comes along who truly inspires you... there's an instant connection and you recognize that someone really amazing has entered your life. They bring a level of passion and commitment to what drives them and you wish you had that same energy.
Johnathan Estes was that kind of person.
I met Johnathan a couple of years ago after seeing some of the work at the Kingspoint Mullet on Facebook. He was bringing together local artists at an old abandoned building behind Alameda Mall and they were creating amazing murals inside and outside the building. Since David (Yammer, aka Kommando Poet – ed.) and I are both artists ourselves, I wanted to make a connection, initially to see if we could go down there and possibly paint a wall.
My son and I packed up our paint cans one Saturday and made the trek to check out Kingspoint. Johnathan met us out there. We became instant friends. He was warm and gracious, and introduced us to everyone on site, many who were busy creating new murals. We toured the building and then he let my son stake out a spot on the wall and begin his own project.
While my son painted, Johnathan and I talked and he told me how he had grown up on the streets on Houston; we discovered we knew a lot of the same people from back in the day. He shared his vision with me. He was launching a nonprofit and wanted Kingspoint to be a safe place for kids to hang out, paint, and engage in other creative outlets. He wanted to transform an area of Houston that desperately needed it.
Word got out. David and I, on occasions with his son and mine, made a few treks to Kingspoint and the place was always bustling with energy. One time we showed up and a group of kids had a pickup game of basketball going on inside the building. The Houston arts community got involved and the works expanded, with new creations going up all the time.
A little over a year ago, Johnathan got his hands on a piece of property on the Westheimer Curve. The place was abandoned and the owner turned the keys over to Johnathan and his friends who completely transformed the place. Previously inhabited by squatters the place was in horrendous shape. Johnathan and crew literally scraped shit off the floors and walls, bleached everything and began the massive cleanup and transformation effort. They made the place habitable and invited local artists to add their own personal touches.
The end result was a masterpiece. From the painting of Marilyn Monroe that adorned the front of the building and had passing traffic gawking, to lifelike portraits of Jim Morrison, day-glo spiders and giant whales, the place was truly a sight to behold. Johnathan was inspired and he was inspiring local artists. The place was constantly bustling with barbecues out back and live music and gatherings inside.
Johnathan had huge plans for the place, but unfortunately a few months ago, the owner decided to sell the property and Johnathan carried his vision back to Kingspoint. He continued to grow his projects there and eventually acquired a storefront where he based his operations.
Tragically, Johnathan's life was cut short early last week. He was murdered in cold blood at his place in Kingspoint. Left behind were a huge legacy and a large, loving community of artists and friends who were inspired by his work. Devastated by their loss, they have vowed to pull together and finish what he started.
At his memorial last Friday, a local artist told of working on a mural at Kingspoint a couple of days after Johnathan died. A beautiful – and rather unusual – blue bird settled in while she worked and later flew away. Johnathan had a warm smile and caring blue eyes, and many in the audience that night believed that bird was a message from Johnathan that he is still with us.
And he is. His legacy remains in the work at Kingspoint… in the hearts of the Houston art community that loved him so dearly… in the two children he adored that are left behind… in the nonprofit that he founded to raise awareness about autism.
Johnathan's life was cut short, but in his time here he accomplished things that many of us only dream of. Not because he had endless resources to pursue the things he wanted. Rather because he had a dream and the guts to pursue it, and the willingness to sacrifice many of life's basic necessities to bring it to fruition. May we all aspire to such a life well lived.
Thank you, Johnathan Estes, for your gift of teaching so many of us what it truly means to live selflessly, to know your destiny, and to pursue it fearlessly. You will be missed.

June 26 2016 Energy of the Day ~ Jupiter Trine Pluto
By Gaiablooming, 06/26/2016
Horoscope June 26 2016
The astro for tomorrow has some interesting connections going on. The Moon in Pisces is connecting to Jupiter and Pluto to begin the day as Jupiter and Pluto trine each other, Mercury is inconjunct Mars working with that yod energy with Uranus some more, and the Moon connecting into that energy as well, and Venus is inconjunct Saturn at 11 degrees. This is definitely some revelation energy after yesterday's evolution revolution. The Moon in Pisces is tuning us into the energy of the past… and the past lives card came up in the tarot today. The message that came through very clearly in this energy is that we need to cultivate our integrity around our revelations. I was getting some old images of the way Atlantis and Lemuria went down, and a big part of the failure of those societies, and even others ancient civilizations, is that there were citizens not aligned with and honoring their intuition and integrity. This energy today brings about some strong shift energy, and the shift is in you. Jupiter meeting Pluto for a 3rd time in this trine connection is reminding to attune to the feelings in and through the body. When in alignment, the body lights up. When you are ignoring what is important for you, there is often a sinking feeling. Mercury and Uranus yodding (there it is again ) Mars, take this to the level of your foundation, your root. This is a deeply personal and inner process, and its not based on the goods or bads voiced by others… Venus inconjunct Saturn at 11 is reminding us to remember our worth and find that inner comfort in honoring what is true for us right now in this moment. Moon in Pisces may make some of this a bit obscure, but the mental process will still be strong. Find a way to bridge the feels and the mental work. Come together inside so we can come together as a planet… More in the horoscope video below! Namaste!
take a moment and dedicate it to peace <3

December 23, 2016
BURLINGTON, Vt. - Monica Miles was always close with her cousins. They grew up in New England, all within a couple of hours' drive. As kids, she and her cousin Troy Pappas spent a lot of time together at the family lake house, especially on the Fourth of July. They would go tubing, play board games and sometimes toss the football.
So in 2012, when Troy, a football player at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, died suddenly at age 18 in a freak fall on campus, 16-year-old Miles was crushed. She never imagined that any good could come from Troy's death – until she learned he was an organ donor and she met one of the recipients whose life had been changed.
Most importantly, she saw the comfort and closure the experience seemed to give Troy's parents. "In that moment I realized how important organ donation was," Miles says, "both to the recipient and the donor's family."
Two years later, when Miles moved from Maine to study medicine and play field hockey at Saint Michael's College in Vermont, she still carried her cousin's memory − both on her back, choosing Troy's No. 8 for her jersey, and in her thoughts. She discovered Vermont had one of the country's lowest rates of registered organ donors per capita. And she turned to her new Purple Knight teammates for help.
In April, National Donate Life Month, her teammates set up tables and laptops in front of the campus dining hall for a weeklong drive to sign up students to be donors. They also passed out literature from Donate Life Vermont, a charity that raises awareness of tissue, eye and organ donation.
"I could not have done it without my team," Miles says. "If it was just me, the odds of anyone stopping are worse. Combined, we probably know everyone on campus." Her teammates not only helped to man the tables, put up posters, hand out fliers and get the word out through social networks, but they also gave Miles moral support. "It's a sore spot for me," she says. "They all understand why."
"Monica arrived just after the incident. It was a difficult situation," says Saint Michael's field hockey coach Carla Hesler. "Being around the team really helped her feel safe and supported during her adjustment to college."
Hesler says Miles reciprocates by helping the team promote other causes, such as breast cancer and cystic fibrosis awareness. And now, as a senior, Miles leads by example in academic life, as well.
She's majoring in biochemistry with plans to go on to medical school and is focusing her studies on kidney damage from chronic disease. In the summer, Miles worked in the Harvard Medical School Summer Research Program in Kidney Medicine. "Kidneys are the most commonly transplanted organ," Miles says. "The kidneys always go first. We're looking to eliminate the need for a transplant."
This past season, Miles returned to the field on defense for the Purple Knights, and in April her teammates will reunite to hold their third annual organ donation awareness drive. Together, in the first two years, they've signed up almost 100 new donors. And in the process, the team also has helped Miles come to terms with her loss. "They are there for me for sure," she says. "Troy would've done the same thing."

Y'all. Time is flying.
Rhett is SEVEN months old. How can it be?!?
--Rhett weighed 15.3 lbs at the dr two weeks ago. I am guessing he is pushing 16 lbs now. He has out grown all of the 0-3 month clothes finally, ha. We are in mostly 3-6 month stuff, if they have feet they have to be 6-9 months for length.
--I was devastated to put him on formula a month ago, but since doing so, my life has gotten SO much easier. He eats 4 bottles a day. An 8 oz bottle around 6 am, baby food around 8, a 6 oz bottle at 9:30, nap from 10-12, 6 oz bottle at 12:30, nap from 2-3, baby food at 4 followed by a bath, then a 6 oz bottle between 5-6pm and usually down for the night by 6:30!
--We have to use the spit up formula, which is quite pricey, so I recently have been just using the Similac Sensitive with 1 tbsp of Rice Cereal added and it seems to do the trick.
--He is in size 2 diapers, but mostly cloth. He had a reaction to Huggies the other day which makes me even happier we are using cloth.
--So far his favorite foods are bananas and sweet potatoes. He tolerates peas. He doesn't care for carrots or mixed veggies or blueberry yogurt. I make him oatmeal every morning with bananas and he gets veggies in the evening. I have recently started giving him the rice cups and he LOVES those because he can do it himself.
--No teeth yet, but I am convinced one will be coming in soon.
--I just moved him into his crib at night last week and since doing that he has been sleeping 12 hours at night, I guess I should have done it sooner! He sleeps in his sleep sack, but I've started letting him sleep with his blanket (THIS aden and anais dream blanket, I am obsessed).
--He is sitting up great and pulling up when we hold his hands. He is also getting on all 4s and trying to crawl, I am NOT ready for that!
Rhett Joseph, you are still just the happiest and sweetest baby on the planet.

In support of Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation
20% of revenue for the RCLCF Workplace Virtuathon will be donated to Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation to help research, prevent and provide support to all those affected by the UK's biggest cancer killer.
Coming soon...
Get fit, get competitive and get behind Lung Cancer Awareness Month this November.
By taking part in the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation Workplace Virtuathon you'll be joining a community of businesses getting together to pull on their running shoes to raise vital funds and awareness for the UK's only lung cancer charity, helping to defeat Britain's biggest cancer killer.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world. In the UK, around 46,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. It is the most common cause of cancer death in the UK. One out of every eight people diagnosed each year have never smoked. Lung cancer can affect anyone - men and women, young and old, smoker and non-smoker.
More details will be announced soon.
What is Workplace Virtuathon?
The RCLCF Workplace Virtuathon is an eight-week, employee education programme with daily guidance and motivation, that cumulates in a 'virtual' physical activity challenge event and an achievement reward.
An eight-week wellbeing and physical activity programme begins on Monday 17th September and is delivered daily via the Get Event Fit app to guide, educate, inspire and motivate your employees throughout their training journey.
Participants complete their RCLCF Workplace Virtuathon over the weekend of 10th November with a 5K or 10K walk, jog or run, but there's no actual event to organise as it can be completed at any location – in the local park or on a treadmill – individually or with colleagues and at their own pace, so it's ideal for beginners and the less confident.
Employees are then rewarded with a Virtuathon medal for their achievement.
Eight-week wellbeing and physical activity programme.
We conveniently deliver our eight-week programmes daily via the Get Event Fit app which include physical activity, easy-to-follow exercises with videos, fitness education articles, yoga videos, nutrition education, healthy eating recipes, positive mindset advice, meditation, wellbeing advice, health articles and much more, to inspire and motivate employees throughout their eight-week journey and encourage positive, healthy habits long after their Workplace Virtuathon is complete.
"Following the programme in the Get Event Fit app made everything so easy. This is the first time I have ever completed such an event. It gave me structure and motivation. Like a personal coach with me 24/7. Thank you. I now own a medal for a running event. Amazing feeling!"

Published at Thursday, July 25th, 2019 - 19:29:16 PM. Wedding Venue. By Albrecht Schmitz.
Reckoning Seating Capacity. The second most important thing to consider is to personally observe the seating capacity. It is important to accommodate all your local and international guests at the same location. Determining the full capacity of the venue is the best thing to have in mind. In identifying the suitability of the wedding place you should also ascertain its past record. References from other people are helpful in this regard and help you find a better place.
There is no doubt that people have to consider their budget before selecting a wedding venue, but it must be considered that the wedding venue provides enough space for the number of guests invited in a wedding. A wedding venue that is very small or too large for the number of guests is not suitable for making the event wonderful, but it can destroy all wedding arrangements.

Patience and mature men and women dating cannot be overlooked by you if you are serious about finding that perfect mature date, that man or woman you have been dreaming of finding for so long.
What has PATIENCE got to do with and mature men and women dating?
Actually, the question should not be what has patience got to do with mature men and women dating? It should be, what has patience NOT got to do with mature men and women dating? It is very important for you to understand that when you meet a mature date, you do not know head or tail of that person. Worse still, you will not come to know things about the person overnight. Even worse is the fact that if you and your mature date decide to go on a second date and then on a third and then on the next mature dates, it is hardy likely that you are going to learn things about the person, in just a few mature dates.
Of course, there will be many things that you will want to know about your mature date. You may also find many faults in the person and many flaws. But, it is not possible to know any person in a short time, in this complex world that we live in. So, if you meet a mature date who you are interested in, it is very important that you have PATIENCE; if you like the person and you want to know him or her better.
PATIENCE plays a big role with mature men and women dating
For any and every mature relationship to be firmly established, PATIENCE is very important. Without patience, there can never be any mature dating relationship that can happen. Patience is in fact the key to a successful mature date. It is only with PATIENCE that you can hope to find out so many things about your mature date.
Things like:
1. What does he or she like?
2. What are her or his dislikes?
3. Is he or she an introvert or an extrovert?
4. Does he or she like to go partying or is he or she the type of person who likes things to be on the quiet front?
5. Does he or she like to smoke?
6. Does he or she like to have alcohol?
7. Is he or she satisfied with the job that he or she is doing or is the person trying to make career changes?
8. What is the person expecting from you?
9. What are you expecting from the person?
10. What kind of clothes does the person like to wear?
11. What kind of food does the person like and dislike?
12. Does the person have kids?
13. Does the person wish to have kids?
14. Is the person happy with where he or she is staying or are they planning to move to another house? Or perhaps even another town or city?
Of course, these are just a few questions, there will be many more in your mind, if you are interested in the date that you have met – and you are keen on meeting him or her again.
That is where patience comes in with mature men and women dating
When you have met your mature date for the first time or even if you have met him or her for a few times, you may see flaws in the person. But, you need to keep in mind that nobody is flawless – not even you. Everyone in the world has their own "FLAW SETS" – in fact, it is these very flaws that make a person what he or she is – unique.
It is these flaws that make the person stand apart from other people. Flaws are a part of all human beings, they cannot be avoided. Being flawed is merely part of human nature. You could roam the whole wide world looking for someone of your dreams, but you will not find a single person who is flawless.
It does not make sense
To keep on looking for mature dates who are flawless, you need to consider the fact that even you are filled with flaws – whether you can see them or not, that is a different point.
So, instead of creating such a big fuss about the flaws in the mature dates you find, try to have some patience and accept whatever that person is – if you really are interested in the person. PATIENCE really is very vital when it comes to mature men and women dating.

This year, we are thrilled to announce our 2018 scholars! We are proud to be honoring the memory of Mary Foege, a former educator and choir director to keep children in the performing arts. We also thank Ted Brown Music, a local Pacific Northwest business dedicated to music education, as well as supporters like you that allowed us to grant two applicants our instrument grant. With your financial support, we were able to address income inequality in local Washington music classrooms and we could not have achieved this goal without you.
Daniel Hoover
Daniel is a band member of the Cedar Valley Elementary 6th grade band. Daniel found his love for the trumpet by listening to the film music of John Williams. Daniel shared that he has a quote from Williams that gives him inspiration. "So much of what we do is short lived and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so its gratifying to have something you have done linger in peoples memories." Daniel goes on to say that many things happen and we don't remember them, but playing music makes me happy as I know I am giving others and myself memories that will last. Not only does Daniel have a love for music, but he has a heart for giving back to his community. Daniel is an active volunteer at his school as a safety patrol member, computer lab assistant, library assistant, assisted the Kiwanis sponsored food backpack program that assists low income families with food for over the weekend, and as a tutor for the beginning band program at his school. Daniel reflects on his service to others that he learned how to encourage safety, fun, and education. and learned how to teach, not just tell, how to give up things for myself to help others, and how important organization and discipline can be. Without having an instrument of his own, Daniel was not sure how long he could stay in band, and was worried that this year may be his last. Daniel states "Ever since I picked a trumpet up, I always wanted one to call my own. Owning my own instrument would mean the world to me and would open up a path to playing music for the rest of my life."
Zach Tweedy
Zach was excited when he heard that he could be in a band in the 6th grade. Zach's band director, Claire Waistell, states "Ever have a student who chooses to practice during every transition? Ever had a student who is friendly, kind and generous? Ever had a student that you thought must simply leave their flute assembled because there is no way they could have done it that fast to start warming up? This is Zach."
Zach volunteered his time as a tutor at the Delridge Community Center to help younger students with their homework. Zach states that kindness begets kindness. Zach has a personal motto that he uses to seize each day, "Self-discipline is the key to success." Zach States that this philosophy gave him the motivation to work hard and to strive through what he thought was incapable at, then to overcome said obstacles.
Mrs. Waistell goes on to say that Zach is inquisitive and always wants to become a better musician and that Zach is very open and accepting of others, to assist them to become better musicians.
Zach is moving up to high school next year, and is excited every time he plays his music. He looks forward to taking his skills he learned in middle school to the high school level in music, and is thrilled he now has an instrument he can call, his own.
Continuing Support
You can continue to be a positive impact in a child's life through making a financial gift to our foundation below. We thank you for your support and look forward to working together in efforts to ensure all children have the ability to participate in their schools music programs. All funds raised go directly towards the purchase of musical instruments.

Research Bio
Tania Li's early research in Southeast Asia concerned urban cultural politics in Singapore. Since then she has focused on culture, economy, environment, and development in Indonesia's upland regions. She has written about the rise of Indonesia's indigenous peoples' movement, land reform, rural class formation, struggles over the forests and conservation, community resource management, and state-organized resettlement. Her book The Will to Improve explores a century of interventions by colonial and contemporary officials, missionaries, development experts and activists. Powers of Exclusion examines agrarian transition to see what happens to farmers' access to land in the context of competing land uses (e.g. conservation, urban sprawl, plantation agriculture). Her prize-winning book Land's End tracks the emergence of capitalist relations among indigenous highlanders when they enclosed their common land. Her current writing project is an ethnography provisionally titled Plantation Life. It explores the forms of social, political, cultural and economic life that emerge in Indonesia's oil palm plantation zone. Future work will focus on the problems faced by people who are pushed off the land in contexts where they have little or no access to waged employment.

Gun Oil article writer says that Boy Butter product name is better.
A funny new article about Gun Oil, one of my personal lubricant competitors, and in it the author exclaimed it was the best product name ever - after Boy Butter and You'll Never Know it isn't Boy Butter. Click here to see the 2nd best named gay personal lubricant Valentine's Day ad for Gun OIl
Original Quote: "But Gun Oil lube — which might just be the best product name ever — after 'Boy Butter' and the inevitable 'I Can't Believe It's Not Boy Butter' – went in a very different direction this Valentine's Day ad with gauzy, soft focus, wistful music, patriotic imagery – this spot's ready to run on The Hallmark Channel. "
Isn't it awesome when things like that happen : )

Study finds steroid use 6 times higher among gay, bisexual teen boys
According to a study released in Pediatrics, steroid use is nearly six times higher among gay and bisexual teen boys than it is among their straight counterparts. It's not the first study to examine the difference in drug use between the two groups, but it's the first to examine the issue of steroids specifically.
The reasons behind the increased steroid use are unclear, though theories abound on the subject. The study authors suggest that perhaps gay boys are looking for a jacked-up physique in order to appear more like the ideal male figure or that they could be turning to steroids as a way of bulking up in order to fend off bullies. Whatever the reason, the figures are staggering. Overall, 21 percent of gay teen boys admitted to steroid use compared to 4 percent of straight boys. Four percent of gay and bisexual teen boys reported the heaviest use of steroids, while less than one percent of their straight counterparts admitted to the same.
Dr. Aaron Blashill, a psychologist and scientist who works with the Fenway Institute, an organization devoted to the treatment of gays and lesbians, says while the disparity between the two groups is cause for sadness, the figures are not really that much of a surprise. According to Dr. Rob Garofalo, Chief of Adolescent Medicine at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, steroid use is high among gay and bisexual teen boys because gay youth in general struggle with identity and self-image issues, more so than straight youth. As a result, many gay and bisexual teen boys may turn to steroid use as a way of enhancing their physique.
The study focused on figures gathered between 2005 and 2007 of some 17,250 teen boys aged 16 years old on average. Four percent of the boys, or 635 candidates, identified themselves as gay or bisexual. Dr. Blashill says more recent figures would likely show that the same disparities exist even now, nearly a decade later.
In November 2013, the Food and Drug Administration released a warning, stating that teens and steroids were a hazardous blend. Roughly 5 percent of teen boys and 2 percent of teen girls have reported using steroids. That means approximately a half a million children are using steroids and risking permanent damage to their still-developing bodies.
Steroids are synthetic versions of the male hormone testosterone, which promotes muscle growth, strength and endurance among users. However, there are significant side effects that plague their users as well, such as liver and heart problems and acne. For teenagers using the substance, there could be permanent damage inflicted on their various body organs if they choose to use steroids.
Signs of steroid abuse can include mood swings, rapid muscle growth, and perhaps breast development in boys. Anxiety, aggression, and high blood pressure may also result, but generally, these symptoms will disappear or at least abate somewhat when the steroid use stops. Typically, steroids are offered through prescription only, and solely in cases where the patient has an identified low level of hormones.
Interestingly, teens are often more reticent to admit to steroid use than they are to admit they are using marijuana. The fact that steroid use is high among gay and bisexual teen boys means that medical personnel should be looking at their adolescent male patients more closely and discussing the topic of steroid use with them.

Each day, Florida law enforcement officers scan the roadways, searching for those engaged in illegal activities. One of the primary focus areas of this endeavor is the search for those involved in drug trafficking. The goal is to remove these individuals and the drugs from the community.
Prescription drug crime makes headlines
Prescription drugs are used to treat numerous conditions. There are drugs available to help with blood pressure, weight loss, infections and even pain. For many individuals throughout Florida, a simple visit to the doctor and then pharmacy produces the medication necessary to take care of the problem. However, in some cases, it is possible that prescription drug usage becomes a problem and the possibility of a prescription drug crime occurring becomes a concern.
Florida neighbors lead to drug possession arrests
In most Florida neighborhoods, the neighbors watch out for each other. They recognize when someone who doesn't belong in the neighborhood is there, and they often monitor the comings and goings of these suspicious visitors. Whenever something suspicious happens in the neighborhood, it is often the neighbors who notify local law enforcement officers. Many times, this is how drugs are discovered and drug possession arrests are made.
Florida law enforcement claim drug trafficking group arrested
Florida law enforcement spends a considerable amount of time, money and manpower attempting to stem the flow of drugs within the state. As part of their efforts, they regularly monitor the activities of those whom they believe to be a party to drug trafficking. These efforts often involve identifying persons and places of interest.

Bernardo Bertolucci's mysterious 1970 classic is now on rerelease at London's BFI Southbank as part of a "European Noir" season, and this is perhaps the most sympathetic context for it. What comes across afresh is Italian cinema's recurrent insistence on finding in fascism a sexual reflex - both cause and effect of sexual dysfunction, guilt and abuse. This approach arguably makes light of history and ideology, but Bertolucci's film has the compelling quality of a bad dream.
Jean-Louis Trintignant plays Clerici, a well-to-do young man who has become a self-hating homosexual owing to a bizarre attempt at molestation in childhood by the family chauffeur. Concealing this has led him to want to "fit in" at any price, so he joins Mussolini's fascists in the 1920s. On honeymoon with his bride, Guilia (Stefania Sandrelli), he seeks out Quadri (Enzo Tarascio), the supervisor of his doctoral thesis on Plato, who is now an anti-fascist organiser; Clerici has promised his fascist masters to assassinate this man, to prove his loyalty. The influence on The Godfather is clear, but the movie's decadent sexual torpor marks its difference from the striving, blue-collar cinema of Coppola or Scorsese, alongside that patrician-aesthete view of homosexuality as tragic inner wound. Like a sexualised Masque of the Red Death, The Conformist gives us a fervent Sapphic Tango in Paris, between the wives of Clerici and Quadri. Gripping.

a great wavesailing week: day 1
He landed this goiter at full speed, perfectly planing and very smoothly on the wave face. 10 from the italian judge.
A classic Mark Angulo moment.
Looks like Laurent.
As you probably figured by now, the forecasted NW swell hit. Here's the Surfline NW buoy readings:
It should be tad smaller tomorrow (due to the shorter period), but at the same time also a bit more consistent and from a slightly more northerly direction (today it was barely over 300 degrees).
Now a few shots to show how crowded and intense Hookipa was.
Mark Angulo bottom turning, Keith Taboul emergency water starting, a guy just barely making over the wave on the right and a photographer... and that's only what you can see in this very zoomed photo!
In this one instead (looks like somewhere else, doesn't it?), I counted 30 sailors. Why are all outside? Because they're waiting for a set! And when the set will come, all 30 of them will be on it!!!
I don't particularly enjoy watching someone's butt (unless it's Anne Marie or Nori of course) when wave riding, so I sailed somewhere else at sunset and scored some of the smoothest waves ever... the trick is to pick the last one of a big set!
Like snowboarding on powder... just a little better! (I think it's more fun to ride something that moves and changes constantly...)
Jace Panebianco was in the water filming for the Windsurfing movie 2 (stay tuned for an interview) and that didn't help. In fact, that's when even the nicest guys drop in.
Take Levi, for example. Usually super respectful of the priorities, today I saw him dropping in a couple of times...
Another classic Mark Angulo moment.
Francisco Goya is very busy testing twin fin prototypes. He told me:
"There's a lot of people that trust me. I can't make twin fin boards with my name just because the market wants so. I really need to like them... and now I'm starting to!"
Might be Lalo.
Finally, after all these boring windsurfing photo, what you guys really come on this blog for...
Oh what a lovely couple of siamese twins! Any spare room in that sweater?
Last, but not least, I'd like to thank Summer of Kuau Mart who gave me a huge portion of noodles and meat balls.
Summer, you made my dinner...

Nice to see lots of Quatro and Goya kit out there! Go team!
Great blog & photos G, I check it almost every work day...
- Olaf said...
lot of pics, nice!! I really miss Maui.
afortunately we had some windy days too here in Argentina, actually it´s pickin´up, another sailing afternoon, thanks god.
lot´s of new goya sails ripping! have you tried them?
- cammar said...
Hi Fish and Olaf,
yes definitely a lot of Goya sails out there. They also stand out thanks to the brilliant colors.
The other reason is that the Quatro/Goya team is probably the best here in Maui.
Other brands with really good sailors at Hookipa are Simmer, NP and Naish.
Said this, let me just remind you that best team doesn't necessarely mean best products...
No I haven't tried them, but I doubt I'd like them. I like the superfreaks, I dislike monofilm sails. They are the exact opposite.
SF: soft, forgiving, incredible high end range but not too direct and not with the best low end.
Monofilm: direct, responsive but at the same time punishing and body abusing.
I always use the car example: the SF are the cadillac of the sails (with great shock absorbers for the gusts), the Fire (just to make an example of monofilm sails) are the Ferrari's.
No doubt that the pros that sail Hookipa need every little bit of the power they can get out of the wind (and most importantly they are able to handle it!!!). That's why there's not many Superfreaks at Hookipa.
But if you go to Kanaha where the average Joes sail, the number of people using Superfreaks is impressive!
Depends on your age and body status too.
Jeff Henderson in person (over 40 and with a bad back) tests all sails he produces, but when he goes out for fun, he uses Superfreaks.
Cadillac or Ferrari? At my age, my skill level and for the lenght of my sessions, I'll take Cadillac thanks...
- Windwiner said...
Great to see Mark A in the blog not once but twice. Cool board as well, I guess not everyone has switched to twin fins (at least not yet).
Thanks for another great post, only thing missing? Yep not enough YIKES!
- Olaf said...
I should trie a SF then! Cool. Great info.
I forgot, what happened with keith? (pic). Caught by the wave?
- jeff E of the Great White North said...
kuau mart!! the bacon egg and other good stuff roll WOW what a breakfast!!
i am think i am booking for january for two weeks , i know not good for wind , but its anniversary time, maui is good wind or not.
some local homies (3 shredders) heading there in two weeks , ones never been in maui, fer a week, wish i could go but arrrg there is a thing called "work" that gets in the way another thing called selling a house.
i am for the underdog ( lesser known or bought brands)when its comes to kit, but then there is price.. when a good deal comes around...
- cammar said...
actually counting also the "busy" photos, Mark is three times on this post...
He's always one to follow. He can pull the craziest move out of nowhere. And I have the clear feeling that he doesn't even know exactly what he's trying to do... he just goes by the feel.
I'll ask him if that's true.
I don't remember, but I bet he did make it. Hookipa veterans have many skills. One of them is emergency no wind water start...
tell your buddies to drop me an email if they need car/accomodation.
don't expect a day 2 post. I got no photos. But I can do a lil report here. Very offshore, super gusty and up and down with the squalls wind. From zero to 10, in my personal scale the wind quality was 1 today. Again, thank god (or Jeff) for the Superfreaks, otherwise I would have hated (and ate) it today.
Instead, I was able to catch a few leftover bombs that the offshore wind made pretty damn smooth.
So difficult though... my arms are sore.
Tomorrow (saturday) the waves should be a lot smaller.
Don't miss the sale a Simmer in Paia!
I also heard that there's a Goya demo day sunday at Uppers, so maybe I will try one of those sails. No wait, Sunday a new swell will hit. The wind will still be nuking and offshore... I'd rather stick the Freaks.
Another big NW swell on Wednesday.
Really great pics as usual, though short on the Yikes, I guess you don't want to become a stalker or papparazzi (SP?)!
I've been waiting to hear your comments on the election result, you always have an interesting perspective on this, and its interesting being Hawai'i; or are you completely sick of the election by now? This one seemed very different though.....
- cammar said...
I'm pretty sick about politics in general, but I'm full of hopes.
Doing worse than Bush is going to be impossible...
- jeff E of the Great White North said...
G demo day at upper do they launch at kanaha or camp one.
heres a dumb question , whats the deal at camp one i have never sailed there. Can anyone launch there ??is it closed to the public.
- cammar said...
For Upper Kanaha you launch at Upper Kanaha...
For Camp one you can sail upwind from Uppers or downwind from Sprecks (it's right there).
Good for jumping, not my kind of place.
Don't expect a day 3 post either. Had a lesson first and then spent the rest of the afternoon sailing Hookipa that was again super strong/gusty/offshore. Thanks to my 4.2 superfreak, I survived gusts that felt like 40 knots and managed to have way more fun that I thought I would.
Thanks also to my 68l custom Quatro, of course.
As usual, I didn't win anything at the late afternoon lottery at Simmer...
The new swell is going to hit late tomorrow, so there is definitely a chance that I'm going to go try the Goya gear...

This is a visual depth chart of where the talent is in baseball. I got the idea from Baseball Prospectus' Visual Depth Chart for major leaguers as seen here. I just used my own system, which is based on future projection and not necessarily this year, as BP's is. A team can be in the red at the MLB level and still have a good player at the position, it just means they are aging and shouldn't be relied on long term. You can then look at where the help is at the minor league level, if any.
I find this to be extremely valuable in seeing a teams strengths and weaknesses quickly.
I've been working on a system to value players. I've calculated how much value a player has based on their age of their MLB debut and position. The data is here. It shows that the earlier you make it to the majors, the more valuable you are. This is based on historical WAR.
Using that idea as the basis, I decided to take it a step further. How much is a player worth after those first six seasons? How much should you sign a player to if he were on the open market at any time? How much is the 31 year old SS worth? I used historical data to calculate how quickly players regress using averages and standard deviation to create tiers. If you think a player is two deviations above average or a 70 player, (Robinson Cano for example) I can use this to calculate how much he will be worth over the remainder of his career using other 70 level second baseman, or any other position for that matter.
I also added in my minor league probability research to create a system to value minor league players based on projected future success.
To calculate this, I assigned a number to each player between 3 and 7 to represent expected MLB impact. This combined with age and level created a value for each player. The numbers represent what each group would be worth on the open market. The numbers are high because they are based on averages and not everyone will be average and pay off. Others will exceed their valuations, so it isn't perfect. Predictions are just educated guesses. This is my best guess for current valuation for the talent currently in baseball.

WESTFIELD FC boss Tony Reid is already primed for the visit of Haywards Heath Town in the Buildbase FA Vase second qualifying round, writes Andy Fitzsimons.
The Yellows' supremo already had the West Sussex outfit watched before his side beat Arundel in the first qualifying round last Saturday [10 September 2016].
Yet despite Reid's impressive non-league footballing CV to date, he is now entering uncharted waters as a manager – having never previously managed a side in the second qualifying round of the FA Vase competition.
He said: "While I have had plenty of experience playing in the FA competitions as a player with the likes of Kingstonian and Lewis, this season is new territory for me as a manager. I had never managed in the FA Vase while I was at Eastbourne Town and Walton & Hersham.
"Throughout my playing career, I made loads of contacts; many of which are serving me well now. You can never take anything for granted in football, which is why I like to prepare; even if we do have two league games scheduled before our next FA Vase match.
"I know that Haywards Heath are a well-organised, direct and physical side, so having that tactical advantage means you can set out your stall accordingly about how best to deal with it," added Reid.
Remarkably, no football club from Surrey has ever won or even appeared in the final of the FA Vase since the competition began in 1974, something that Reid would love to change.
And The Yellows' boss knows only too well just what a good cup run can do for the Woking-based club. It comes after local rivals Knaphill managed to reach the fourth round proper last season.
With £600 prize money already in the coffers – following their 2-1 win against Arundel last Saturday, Reid is right to remain quietly confident that his side can reach the latter stages of the competition.
And a home win against Haywards Heath Town on 24 September [2016] could be an indication of just how far Westfield could go this season.
Yellows' goalscorer, Aaron Watson, will be hoping to boost his tally in the next round of the FA Vase, after his brace against Arundel.

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend… I know I did! We went to Miami and ayi dios mio was it fun. My friends and I have a friend visiting from Australia and she flew into the Miami airport Sunday so we just had to make a weekend out of it and stay in Miami. It only seems logical, right? So we decided to be really fancy and stay at the Fontainbleau on Miami Beach. If you ever decide to get away for a weekend I would definitely reccommend it. The beach behind it is gorgeous, they have great restaurants in the hotel, there is plenty of nightlife, and the pool is always the place to be. The first night we got there we decided to have dinner in the hotel at a restaurant called "La Cote". It was… awesome. It's all outdoors with great music and delicious food. We decided on splitting a bunch of tapas with a bottle of wine, of course. The next morning we decided to go to to this AMAZING place for brunch. The hotel is called the Soho house. I think next time I stay in Miami I'm going to stay there. It was a little boutique hotel that was just absolutely darling. Every Sunday they have a fabulous brunch where the put out quite a spread! You have omelettes, pancakes, fruits, pastries, risotto, carving startions, delicious French presses full of strong coffee, etc. You name it, they have it! But… what really convinced me to try it out… a complimentary belinni or mimosa with brunch. Uh, yes please! After we stuffed our faces we went back to the hotel in a food coma. That night after we picked up our friend from the airport we went this this fabulous Japanese restaurant in the hotel for some cocktails and appetizers. I'm noticing a trend with appetizers and drinks, aren't you? The next day we had a nice little breakfast and went by the beach. It was gorgeous out. We couldn't stay too long because we have to drive back to the other coast for a nice family cookout! That was my weekend! How was yours? All the pictures were taken with my iphone. 🙂
Related posts
Sounds like you had a great time! Question, when you mentioned driving back to the other coast, are you meaning California. My husband and I have driven to Dallas TX and New Orlean's, but on business trips and it takes us 3 days. Being that this was only a 3 day weekend. We have friends in both Miami and Boca.
Hi Patti!
Yes we did have a great time. haha noooo I meant the other coast of Florida!! Miami and Boca are both beautiful places! Thanks for reading and commenting 🙂

Planned Giving and Investments
Charitable Solicitation and Planned Giving
Many colleges and universities have entire departments dedicated to the solicitation of gifts and to planned giving programs for alumni. Our lawyers have counseled many institutions on techniques to enhance planned giving programs and assist donors in maximizing the tax benefits of their gifts.
We assist in the interpretation of conditions placed on gifts, enforcement of pledges, monitoring of estates and trusts to ensure that they are properly administered and that institutions receive their appropriate distributions, and reformation of various gifting instruments to obtain maximum tax deductibility for the donors, and maximum use and benefits for the institution. Our lawyers work closely with various state agencies and attorney general offices when appropriate to protect the interests of the institution in receiving charitable gifts and bequests.
Our lawyers are experienced in assisting institutions in drafting endowment agreements and advising them on the evolving laws governing the investment and management of endowment fund assets. We also assist institutions in preparing and implementing gift acceptance policies, and in presenting to their boards various considerations in connection with all aspects of charitable giving, and the use and management of charitable funds.
Investment Management
Our lawyers advise nonprofit organizations, including college endowment funds and charitable institutions, regarding investments in various types of alternative investment vehicles. We review offering materials for traditional hedge funds, funds of funds and private equity funds into which our nonprofit clients consider investing with a view to assisting these clients in making compelling investment decisions. We assist these clients in negotiating "side letter" arrangements with these types of issuers where appropriate as well as investment management agreements on their behalf.
