A unique class designed for couples that want their partners or a family member to be their doula. Doulas are typically women, who help women through labor and delivery. But we have stepped into a new age where dads, partners, moms and even friends want to be involved in the birth process as much as possible and why not? This is a great opportunity for them to learn how they can help and support you just as good as a doula!

About the Classes
Daddy Doula
Learn how to support the women you love through labor and birth. This fun, easy class is two hours long. We go through coping techniques, labor positions and how to talk to medical staff. We also take a look into your relationship and use the tools you already have when dealing with your partner through hard times to help her get through labor. The goal is to build onto your existing relationship so that your birth experience is the best it can be.
We supply you with materials, a workbook, and educational displays to give you the knowledge about labor and delivery so you feel confident and empowered to support your loved one.

Why be a Daddy Doula?
My name is Naomi, proud mother of five! My passion is birth and helping mothers through the most rewarding time in their lives. My goal is to give mothers not only the best birth experience but more importantly the experience they want. I have currently been studying Midwifery for over two years and have actively been a doula for over five years.
Birth is the most amazing time in a women's life! The transformation of a women turning into a mother is extraordinary. When a couple lays eyes on their baby for the first time… well words just can't really even describe. I'm so honored to be apart of such an amazing experience. I love being a doula, even more I love educating and empowering women everyday.
During my training I went through two years of midwifery school, this included working closely with Karly Nuttall (midwife in San Diego) as well as working with Dr. Cap (an OBGYN located in Encinitas, CA). I was a certified Doula through DONA for my first two years. I have been the owner and manager of Embracing Labor for the last five years. I've been privileged to be a part of home births, birth center births and hospital births. It has always been a personal goal of mine to unite both midwives and OBGYN in their common goal for the safest, calmest, best experience possible for families through labor, delivery and the postpartum period.

Add 2 tsp oil to a large pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium high. Once oil is shimmering, add chicken and sauté, turning occasionally to cook evenly, about 6-7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a large bowl.
Remove sausage from casing and add to pot. Use a wooden spoon to break up and brown sausage, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer sausage to bowl with chicken.
To the same pot, add remaining 2 tsp oil and the veggies from the Creole Veggie Kit (reserving the garlic and parsley). Sauté vegetables for 6-7 minutes.

The present study was conducted to determine if female distance runners who report engaging in pathological food behaviors display the psychological characteristics of clinically diagnosed female eating-disordered patients. Comparisons were made among 29 eating-disturbed college runners, 31 normal college runners, 19 clinically diagnosed eating-disordered patients, and 34 nonathletic, non-eating-disordered college students. Measures included a 3-day diet journal, questionnaires collecting both personal information and information on eating behaviors and sports participation, the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), the Setting Conditions for Anorexia Nervosa Scale (SCANS), and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Without reaching eating-disordered clinical levels, the eating-disturbed runners appeared on psychological inventories as being more concerned with food and dieting than were the comparison runners and non-eating-disordered nonathletes. Only the eating-disordered group presented with significant levels of psychopathology. Implications for the athletic community are discussed.

Eating disorder prevalence rates among athletes vary greatly because of the different ways in which researchers have measured and classified them, and the extent to which they are higher than those found among nonathletes remains unresolved. The present study examined prevalence of eating disorders, body image issues, and weight control behaviors using a valid diagnostic measure. Participants included 146 male and 156 female NCAA Division I student-athletes and a matched sample of 170 male and 353 female collegiate nonathletes. Overall, eating disorder prevalence rates and use of pathogenic weight control behaviors were lower among nonathletes than athletes. Rates for athletes in the current study were lower than previous studies. These findings are likely due to the lack of anonymity the athletes had when completing questionnaires, as data were collected through athletes' preseason physicals, whereas nonathletes completed questionnaires anonymously over the Internet. Recommendations for athletic departments' screening for eating disorders are made.

The psychosocial benefits of participating in physical activity (PA) are well known; less is known about the relationship between suicidal behaviors and PA among adolescents, especially among middle school-aged youth. This study seeks to fill that gap by assessing the cross-sectional relationship between these variables.
A secondary analysis of the 2010 Tennessee Middle School Youth Risk Behavior Survey data was conducted among 65,182 middle school students. Items examined were PA, sports team engagement, physical education (PE) class, screen time, suicidal behaviors, drug/substance use, extreme weight control behaviors, weight status and weight misperceptions, and selected personal characteristics. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between PA, sports team engagement, and PE class attendance on suicidal behaviors.
Sports team engagement was significantly associated with suicidal thoughts, plans, and attempts even after controlling for other important variables. There was no relationship, however, between total PA or PE class attendance in univariate or multivariate models, respectively.
Findings suggest that sports team engagement is associated with reduced risk for suicidal thoughts, plans, and attempts, whereas, no relationships were found for PA or PE class attendance. Asking adolescents questions about sports team engagement may help clinicians screen for risk of suicidal behaviors.

Almost five years ago, Alfresco Festival arrived in Royal Tunbridge Wells. Although we got here by total accident, we really couldn't be happier with our festival location at Colebrook Park. Each year we have continued to source suppliers, traders and talent from the surrounding area; growing our relationships with local people and businesses.
Nearly all of the stock for our bars and building supplies for our structures are sourced within a few miles of the festival site. We also work with local cab companies to accommodate our artists during the festival and hotels in Tunbridge Wells are guaranteed to become booked up with Alfresco attendees.
Furthermore, this year's festival saw a host of young local DJs play, as well as major involvement from RTW-based duo Loose Joints. Hosting promotional events in the area has been instrumental in forming these connections. The Common Rooms has become our favoured home within the town due to its friendly atmosphere and drive to play top-quality music. They have really supported us and we have several dates to announce at the venue in the lead up to next year.
If you are a local DJ, supplier, trader or want to get involved with the festival in any way please get in touch. You can contact us via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

An immature companion of Arab origin and rather divine comes to meet her man for a session of legs in the air. Here is a blond girl with a superb pig ass who is going to be sodomized on very charming sodomy by a very big cock that she takes between her lips and starts by licking entirely like a debauched in heat. The boy puts on a condom and smashes her in all the postures until he ends up spurting in her mouth ! This torrid young lady yelps with each blow of the stake she takes in the anus and ends up having her ass sprayed with the male's juice. Without asking herself any questions, she pumps the boy's stiff pecker and doesn't forget to devour his giant balls so that he gets very hot. Afterwards, he slips his cock into his wet pussy and slaps it to make this hottie as hot as possible. As soon as she's on the couch, this chick gets explored into the intimacy by the guy who gropes her and sucks her pussy licking ; the hard nipples of this woman excite the boy funny and he starts to fuck his cock in the mouth of this swallower for a lovely treat before introducing it into her pussy.

Moving away from his usual all-white party, the theme for this momentous birthday was surely 'glamorous' (since Fergie was in attendance perhaps it was actually more: 'G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S'), with famous friends Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Pharrell, Lizzo, Nelly, Kate Beckinsale, Snoop Dogg, Queen Latifah and Cardi B amongst others heading to his Beverley Hills Mansion for a night to remember.
Beyoncé led the glam-pack with an ode to old-school Hollywood style in an off-the-shoulder black velvet gown with snowflake-like embellishment and a thigh-high split. In keeping with this look Kim Kardashian opted for an off-the-shoulder, figure hugging gold gown and Naomi Campbell took on a romantic embellished gown that looked positively regal.

Finnegan JEX They are not your traditional couple, but what I find is that sometimes tradition is lackluster and they are anything but.Impulse gave us a peak into the dynamic of the characters, but Indulge gives us an open door and when I say open I mean open Hot, sexy and did I say hot That Lex is a one of a kind that sure to melt anyone s heart and cause and implosion The scenes between JEX kept me up late at night I was also able to delve deeper into each of their vulnerable sides as well as see a relaxed Lex when he s around Jillian She seems to have that affect and well let s say she has many affects on him and vice versa.The super couple does not have it easy in this novel I won t say , but like most books by the author, I experienced a plethora of emotions It s like a never ending roller coaster that you re either afraid to ride, or excited about standing in line to ride again The conclusion of Jex s journey left me wanting , but since I know this is the end of their

loyalty tested, and of course lust amps up E.B Walters does not disappoint in this respect, with hot yet heartfelt intimate scenes that almost steamed up my kindle screen Her characters are well developed, complex, and strong, so it s easy to get into their mindset and really get invested in their romance Between these moments, the mystery and heart pounding challenges that Lex and his bride face in order to be together keep the pages turning It can be hard to find a romance book that can adequately combines fresh, heart pounding sex scenes action packed, suspenseful plot and smooth writing that you don t feel the distracting urge to edit or rewrite Indulge encompasses all of these desired qualities beautifully I have already started recommending the Infinitus series to other, unsatisfied romance readers.The reader also gets to spend time learning about the other Inifnitus men when trouble arises in the form of an enemy in Lex and his friend s past, getting in tune to their personalities and each of their unique and attractive qualities They are much deeper than one would expect for billionaires, which is intriguing I am excited to read of each of their stories in novels to come.This sequel was worth waiting for, and may even have surpassed Indulge in my mind My only qualm with this book is the slight rushed feel to the ending It seems to lack a true resolution with the trouble a man by the name Warwick hunting Jillian as revenge against Lex, even though we get a sense of happily ever after from the epilogue for this couple I m hoping there may be resolution to this conflict in future Infinitus novels Either way, I m excited to read what exciting and sexy tales E.B Walters comes up with for her other wealthy studmuffins.I highly recommend the Infinitus novels, particularly to unsatisfied romance readers who like well written sex scenes, fully developed characters, and suspenseful plot Here s my favorite quote to whet your appetite You didn t fucking question miracles You counted yourself lucky and treasured them Jillian was his miracle I myself will be reading this series ad inifinitum
I write sensual Paranormal and contemporary romance When not writing, I read When not reading, I hang out with my family When not with my family, I m plotting and writing.it s a vicious cycle From the author s website.

Due to his close association with AEW and his friendship with the powers-that-be within the promotion, many assume that Conrad Thompson is an AEW employee. Those rumors multiplied this past week when Thompson appeared on AEW's roster listing as a member of the broadcast team.
He's hosted their rallies and put on Starrcast conventions aligned with All In and Double or Nothing, but Thompson contends he doesn't get a paycheck and he revealed his relationship to AEW.
"Friend," Thompson said of his role. "I know the internet was abuzz this week when the AEW website had me listed as a member of the broadcast team. I don't know why that was a surprise as I hosted the first two rallies. I'm not calling anything at Double or Nothing. I don't have a contract with AEW. I'm great friends with Cody Rhodes and a bunch of those guys But I've never received any compensation. I don't have a contract and I don't have any plans moving forward.
"Now that they have Jim Ross under contract, why in the world would they need me to host a rally or do anything like that? If they ask me to, will I? Absolutely. Those guys are my friends and I'll continue to support them.
"I don't have an official role and my role is the exact same as it was in January or February: a friend."
Thompson was then asked if he would ever consider taking his show on the road and bringing Starrcast to other countries.
"I would absolutely be delighted to do one of these in Europe. Unfortunately though, the location is not really up to me. I would like to piggyback other events and if there was the opportunity to do this somewhere in the UK, I think it would be a huge hit," stated Thompson.
"Given the relationship that the Khan family has with the UK, it does make me hopeful that there will be a Starrcast in the UK at some point."
With Thompson making it clear that he's not an AEW employee, he also made it clear that Starrcast is not an AEW event.
"As for if Starrcast is an AEW thing because we follow AEW events, that is not exactly true. The first Starrcast was based on All In which was a Cody Rhodes and Young Bucks production. Now, they are with AEW, so that's where I am," said Thompson.
"My loyalty to the Starrcast brand will always be with the man who believed in me and that's Cody Rhodes. So, while on paper Starrcast LLC is 100 percent me, in my heart and mind it's 50-50 with Cody/The Bucks and myself. Without those guys allowing me to try this last year in Chicago, there's no way we would be doing it now in Las Vegas."
Thompson admitted that if AEW grows as he expects it to, then they will likely create their own conventions which would diminish his presence.
"If I'm honest, I expect if AEW continues to grow, they will have their own convention arm much like WWE has Axxess. That seems like a natural progression," revealed Thompson. "I won't compete with that and be the WrestleCon to AEW sort of like WrestleCon is to WrestleMania. WrestleCon has become their own brand so I'm never gonna swerve into that lane and try to do something like that during WrestleMania.
"At the same time, I don't know if I wanna compete with an AEW production. Those are my buddies and I don't wanna compete. I wanna do it with them or not at all. So I'm not following AEW, I'm following Cody Rhodes."
Starrcast II takes place from May 23-26th in Las Vegas. For full information and schedules please visit Starrcast.com. It will also be available to stream via Fite.tv.

Welcome to Maui
Maui lures travelers with an invigorating mix of natural beauty and outdoor fun, all shared with warm alohas.
Outdoor Adventure
When it comes to outdoor recreation, Maui wins best in show. Just look at that zipliner launching into a canopy of green. Or the mountain biker hurtling past eucalyptus and pine. Hikers have it darn good too, with trails winding through lava flows and bamboo forests. Along the coast, surfers barrel through waves, windboarders skim across whitecaps and snorkelers glide among fish-filled reefs and coral.
And we haven't even mentioned the Valley Isle's most iconic adventures, like driving the Road to Hana. Watching the sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā. Paddling a kayak within sight of humpback whales in Makena Bay. In sum? Amazing.
Natural Beauty
The golden sands of Keawakapu Beach. The rumpled green flanks of Haleakalā. The graceful beauty of Wailua Falls. These gorgeous sights have drawn admirers for generations. But it's funny, just when you think you have a handle on Maui's sublime scenery, an unexpected view catches you by surprise. It's these unplanned glimpses of beauty that linger in your memory. Maybe it's the ʻahinahina (silversword) staking out a claim on a stark crater slope. Or the jagged lava along the Keʻanae Peninsula, looking protective for a moment, not menacing. And the Waiakoa Loop Trail at Polipoli? Spookily pretty – until that baby boar snuffles into view.
Food & Drink
A top-notch dining scene enhances Maui's natural charms. And the best part? No matter the view or adventure, you're always a short drive from a delicious meal. Unless it's 8pm in Hana and you're looking for dinner...but we digress. From scrappy food trucks to white-linen dining rooms, eateries are embracing locally sourced food, from Upcountry vegetables to grass-fed beef from the ranch down the road. And the local food? The names may be unfamiliar – loco moco, shave ice, kalua pork – but trust us, the flavors are rich and delicious, and the portions typically hearty.
As you hike over the uncomfortable lava rocks on the King's Hwy near La Perouse Bay, gazing out to sea and broiling under the sun, it's easy to connect with ancient travelers who surely felt the same mix of awe and discomfort. Maui is dotted with such spots, where natural formations and historic structures are direct portals to the past. Downtown Lahaina, with its old wooden storefronts and rowdy pubs, channels the whaling era. You'd hardly blink if Edward Bailey, an 1800s missionary, stepped from the stairwell at the Bailey House. And the 100-year-old Komoda Bakery? The past still makes tasty cream puffs.

Why I Love Maui
By Amy Balfour, Writer
On my first visit to Maui I hiked the Waiheʻe Ridge Trail and ziplined through the West Maui mountains. Thanks to those adventures, I'm hooked on the island's outdoor charms. Since then I've kayaked Makena Bay, hiked into a moonscape crater and snorkeled Molokini Crater. It's the mix of beautiful scenery and easy-to-access adventures that pulls me back. That and the genuine alohas from the residents, who have invited me to book-club meetings and a backyard party. I even had an inn manager, running late, send me to Monkeypod Kitchen with a fistful of cash and instructions to have fun. Aloha and mahalo!
Maui's Top 15
Sunrise at Haleakalā National Park
As you shiver in the inky darkness, bumping elbows with strangers and wishing for your warmer coat, it's easy to grumble, 'What was I thinking?' But then a soft, orange glow pierces the darkness. The crowd leans forward, holding its breath. Cottony clouds appear, stretching to horizon's end, encircling your lofty summit perch. Rich tones of amber and ocher blaze on the crater floor below. Elemental. Communal. Spiritual. To quote Mark Twain: 'The sublimest spectacle I ever witnessed.' And to quote the park service: 'Reserve before you go!' Yep, reservations now required.

Driving the Road to Hana
Buckle up. Of all the heart-stoppingly dramatic drives in Hawaii, this is the Big Kahuna. A roller-coaster of a ride, the twisting Hana Hwy winds down jungly valleys and back up towering cliffs, curling around 600 twists and turns along the way. Some 54 one-lane bridges cross nearly as many waterfalls – some of them eye-popping torrents and others so gentle they beg a dip. But the ride's only half the thrill. Swim in a Zen-like pool, stroll a ginger-scented trail and stop once, maybe twice, for banana bread.

Top Experiences
Snorkeling at 'Turtle Beach'
Packed with coves, reefs and lava rocks, the Maui coast is made for do-it-yourself snorkeling. Grab a map at the dive shop, rent gear, hit the beach and off you go. From stunning Maluʻaka Beach in Makena, simply swim in the direction of the tour boats. Before you get halfway you'll likely spot a magnificent green sea turtle nibbling algae on the ocean floor, and another swimming gracefully through the surf. The underwater sights at 'Turtle Beach' are mesmerizing – and a great introduction to Maui snorkeling.

Top Experiences
Breaching. Lunging. Slapping. And the ever-mysterious spy hopping. Humpback whales keep things lively off Maui's western coast each winter, when thousands arrive to court, mate and calve. If you're in Maui at the same time – typically December through April – treat yourself to a whale-watching cruise. Whales are also readily spotted from cliffside lookouts such as Papawai Point, from west-facing beaches and from oceanfront condos. Snorkelers and divers who stick their heads underwater at the right time can even hear them singing: love songs, we presume!

Top Experiences
Waiheʻe Ridge Trail
Hiking doesn't get much better than the Waiheʻe Ridge Trail ( GOOGLE MAP ), an inviting footpath that climbs the rugged green slopes of the West Maui Mountains. The trail is alternately covered and exposed, winding through a dense grove of guava trees before darting up a grassy ridgeline with bird's-eye views of cloud-topped peaks and overgrown valleys. After 2.5 miles of gentle climbing, the lonely summit is a sweet reward.

Top Experiences
Big Beach (Oneloa), Makena State Park
If one beach captures the spirit of Maui, this is it: wild, vast and in a completely natural state. But unvisited, no. This is where Mauians come to celebrate Maui the way it used to be. An endless expanse of gleaming sands, no development in sight and unbelievably blue water. For a sweeping view of the place – and an iconic photograph – climb the rocky outcrop just north. Take a few steps. Turn. And whoa. Paradise.

Top Experiences
Old Lahaina Luau
They had us at aloha, but who are we to refuse the cool mai tai and sweet-smelling lei that followed? At Maui's most authentic luau, Hawaiian history, culture and culinary prowess are the focus. Highlights? The unearthing of the imu-cooked pig, the dancing of the hula kahiko and, of course, the savoring of the feast – a spread of hearty salads, fresh fish, and grilled and roasted meats. But it's the sense of shared community that will linger longest in your memory.

Top Experiences
Diving the Cathedrals
Want to hear divers gush about a diving spot? Then listen to them describe the grottoes, hideaways and arch at the Cathedrals dive site just off the southern coast of Lanaʻi. It's an adventurous place with unusual geologic sights around every bend. When the water surges, divers can make a wild exit from the Cathedrals through a narrow tube, better known as the Shotgun. And the marine life? Eels, turtles, sharks and loads of tropical fish.

Top Experiences
Upcountry Distillery Tours
Deep ocean water. Hawaiian pineapples. And paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys) on the label. When it comes to producing spirits, distilleries in Kula and Haliʻimaile embrace all things Hawaii. Even better? They share their secrets on engaging tours that always end with a tasting. At new-on-the scene Haliʻimaile Distilling Company, guides spotlight the handcrafted stills and the fun-loving products – just look at the mustachioed barrels aging the Paniolo Whiskey. It all feels a bit rock and roll. They do produce Sammy Hagar's own Beach Bar Rum, after all.

Top Experiences
Surfing West Maui
This is Hawaii – of course you're going to catch some waves. The best part is, you don't have to be Laird Hamilton to enjoy the Maui surf. Just stick to Lahaina and West Maui, where the waves are more accessible, and you'll be hanging ten in no time. Up-and-at-'em surf schools cluster near Kamehameha Iki Park in Lahaina, ready to launch newbies on easy waves beside the breakwall. Got your surf legs? Check out one of the beginner-friendly surf spots between Lahaina and Maʻalaea.

Piʻilanihale Heiau
Standing in front of Hawaii's largest temple – five stories high – it's impossible not to feel dwarfed by the scale. The remote setting on a windswept coast adds to the sense of being in a sacred place. Be still. You can almost hear the footsteps of the ancients and see the high priest walking up the terraced stone steps to offer sacrifices to the gods. The surrounding Polynesian gardens – swaying coconut palms, sturdy breadfruit trees – add depth to the vision of how it must have looked centuries ago.

The North Shore & Paʻia
Ready for small-town adventuring? The North Shore awaits. Here, the surf is wild, the shops and eateries unique, and the vibe laid-back – dare we say crunchy? If you're a player on the pro-windsurfing circuit, meet your buddies at Hoʻokipa Beach Park. The rest of us will watch the death-defying action from the adjacent hills. Follow Hoʻokipa's windsurfing theatrics by immersing yourself in the funky vibe of nearby Paʻia, Maui's hippest burg, home to artsy shops, cool surfer haunts, a roadside stupa and one awesome deli buffet.

Top Experiences
ʻIao Valley State Monument
Nowhere is Maui's verdant, moody beauty better captured than at ʻIao Valley, where the ʻIao Needle – a phallic-shaped, emerald-green pinnacle – shoots straight up from the valley floor. The pinnacle is the centerpiece of this mystical state park. Snuggled into deep folds of lush rainforested mountains, ʻIao is such a sumptuous sight it's hard to imagine that it was the scene of a violent interisland battle in the late 18th century. This unusual melding of breathtaking scenery and tragic history makes the valley a uniquely compelling place for reflection. At the time of writing, the Monument is due to complete flood-damage repairs and reopen imminently.

Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Concert Series
You'll feel like you're part of a family jam session at this intimate slack key guitar concert series in Napili. Slack key tuning, with its simultaneous playing of bass and melody, virtually defines Hawaiian music. The host, Grammy Award–winning musician George Kahumoku Jr, interweaves the music with an upbeat banter on growing up Hawaiian-style. The weekly guest list features some of the finest slack key guitar players on the planet.

Top Experiences
Hawaii's first settlers were skilled ocean navigators who crossed thousands of miles of open ocean in canoes loaded with passengers, livestock and supplies. Today, members of outrigger-canoe clubs ply the waves regularly, their graceful vessels skimming across the surf just offshore. Want to test your paddle skills? Many resorts offer guided outrigger trips that push off from adjacent beaches. For do-it-yourself views of green sea turtles, and maybe a breaching whale, join a trip with Aloha Kayaks, who will get you out to sea.

Top Tips
Never turn your back on the ocean when swimming or wading. Powerful waves can take you by surprise.
Tackle the sunrise at Haleakalā and other early-morning adventures at the beginning of your trip before you've adjusted to the time change.
When snorkeling, take care not to step on the coral. It's fragile.
Don't touch the green turtles or get too close.
Don't feed fish or wild animals.
Stay aware of your surroundings while exploring the outdoors and slow down on slippery trails.
Watch for clouds and surging water while wading in pools and streams, which are susceptible to flash floods.
Fill up your gas tank before driving the Road to Hana. The only gas station on the route is in Hana.
Keep valuables in your hotel room, not in your car.
Slow down, enjoy the conversations and embrace living on island time.

Island Tour
2 Weeks
To embrace the magic that is Maui, remember: quality over quantity. Yes, the ziplines are fun, the restaurants excellent and the resorts posh, but spending time in small towns and remote parks will connect you with the land and its people. This trip covers many places, but allow yourself to readjust if the mana (elemental magic) is strong.
Splash into the scene with an ocean dip in coastal Kaʻanapali, followed by a sunset cruise. Next, stroll the historic whaling town of Lahaina then treat yourself to the Old Lahaina Luau. Still got jet lag? Drive to Haleakalā National Park to catch a breathtaking sunrise and hike into the crater.
The next few days are all about those gorgeous beaches. Begin by snorkeling with turtles at Maluʻaka Beach, followed by a picnic at magnificent Big Beach. For adventure, check out Kanaha Beach for the sailboarding scene.
Head to Paʻia for Maui's hippest cafe scene and check out the surf action at Hoʻokipa Beach Park. Wrap up with waterfalls galore on the most legendary drive in Hawaii, the wildly beautiful Road to Hana. On your last day look out for leviathans on a whale-watching cruise or savor a fine dinner on the western coast.
Lahaina to Waiheʻe Ridge Trail
4 Days
History buffs, hikers and those with a sense of adventure will most enjoy this multiday excursion in West Maui. The trip starts with urban exploring and ends with a wild drive along a remote and rugged coastline. There's a bit of snorkeling and Hawaiian dining in the middle.
The exhibits at the Lahaina Heritage Museum set the tone for adventure, with tales of warring ancient Hawaiians, hardy whalers and determined missionaries. From here, relax under the USA's largest banyan tree then stroll around Maui's captivating old whaling town, which is packed tight with historic buildings, art galleries, great restaurants and indie shops. In the evening, feast your stomach and your eyes at the Old Lahaina Luau, where the Hawaiian buffet and the storytelling – through hula – are highlights.
The next morning, plunge into Maui with a dip in the sea at Kaʻanapali Beach. Snorkel out to Puʻu Kekaʻa (Black Rock) to check out Maui's dazzling underwater scenery, then pop into the Whalers Village Museum to learn more about the island's whaling history. Enjoy the sunset on a sailboat cruise or from shore at the Hula Grill.
Start day three early – and we mean early – at the Gazebo restaurant in Napili for chocolate macnut pancakes. Swimmers should then head to Kapalua Bay, bodysurfers to DT Fleming Beach and snorkelers to Honolua Bay. Kapalua's menu of adventures also includes hiking and ziplining. And golfers? You probably already know about Kapalua's courses from the tournament coverage. Catch the sunset at Merriman's Kapalua. In the morning, stroll beside a string of beaches on the lovely Coastal Trail.
Hit the road on your last day with an adventurous early-morning drive around the northern tip of Maui. Follow the Kahekili Hwy to Nakalele Blowhole, and don't miss Ohai Viewpoint. Other than fruit stands, dining options are few but Julia's Best Banana Bread should see you through.
In the early afternoon lace up your hiking boots. Lofty mountain views and waterfalls are just starters on the fun Waiheʻe Ridge Trail, which heads deep into the West Maui Mountains. Return to Lahaina or spend the night in Paʻia.
The Road to Hana to ʻUlupalakua Ranch
3 Days
This magical drive along the remote east Maui coast is lined with waterfalls and lush scenery. If you want to get away from the resort scene while digging into local culture and exploring untamed nature, this your trip. And there's no need to rush – you're spending two nights midway in Hana.
This trip begins on the Hana Hwy, dubbed The Road to Hana. The roadway begins as Hwy 36 then flips to Hwy 360 at mile marker 16. Waterfalls, pools and thick forests line the route. About halfway to Hana, swing down to Keʻanae Peninsula for windswept views of the rough lava coast, pounded by surf. You'll be humbled by Hawaii's largest temple at Kahanu Garden. Views of the striking black-lava coast and the unusual black-sand beach at Waiʻanapanapa State Park will linger in your memory.
The old Hawaiian community of Hana is well worth a poke around and a two-night stay. Enjoy Thai food for lunch, visit Hana's museum and the Hasegawa General Store, and the marvelous beaches. Be sure to hike to the top of Puʻu o Kahaula Hill for a broad view of the town and Hana Beach.
It's time for more local exploring in the morning. First stop? Wailua Falls. This roadside cascade is a top contender for Maui's most-gorgeous waterfall. The road rolls through the Kipahulu district of Haleakalā National Park, home to ʻOheʻo Gulch and its 24 pools, each backed by its own little waterfall. Make time to hike to the 200ft plunge of Makahiku Falls on the Pipiwai Trail.
In jungle-tangled Kipahulu, seek out the grave of aviator Charles Lindbergh before returning to Hana for drinks and live music at posh but hospitable Travaasa Hana. In the morning you'll follow the lonely Piʻilani Hwy for an occasionally hair-raising drive with memorable hairpin turns, which eventually straighten out in the cowboy region of Kaupo.
End your trip with a taste of Maui Splash, a refreshing pineapple wine, at the tasting room at Maui Wine on the ʻUlupalakua Ranch. Spend the night in the Upcountry, home to several inviting B&Bs and inns.

Betway Casino Review
Fierce competition in the online casino business has meant that fortune has only favoured the brave entering the arena in recent years. Betway then must surely have balls of steel, since it launched in 2006 as a one-stop shop for sports betting, casino, bingo and poker pitching it into battle with Titans like Bet365, William Hill and Paddy Power.
Its survival and growth in the face of that stiff competition signals that Betway has the 'right stuff' in many departments, but do its strengths extend to delivering one of the best online slot experiences?
Ahead of assessing the lure of Betway Casino's online slots selection, a quick audit of its licencing shows it's a thoroughly respectable establishment holding licences with both the UK and Malta gaming authorities, and eCogra certification; in short, Betway? Yes way!
Betway Casino Slots
Moving on to consideration of the Betway offer to online slots players, it's interesting to find that this online casino is currently a strictly Microgaming affair.
Now Microgaming are one of the longest established, and indeed finest, purveyors of online slots, but many of Betway Casino's rivals are now sourcing their slots from a much broader range of companies (often including Microgaming) so the choice here does exclude some hugely popular slots like Starburst and Rainbow Riches commonly found elsewhere.
This may or may not bother you, however it should be balanced with the fact that the choice of online slots you can play here is huge and of fantastic quality.
Microgaming also has a well-deserved reputation for its progressive jackpot games, such as the Mega Moolah slots, so if you like to spin for life-changing wins there's no shortage of attractions for you here.
Betway Casino also caters for gaming on the go with its mobile casino delivering an excellent slice of themed slot action for tablets and smart phone users.
Like many of the one-stop-shops for online betting, membership of Betway is both free and provides an account that can be used across its range of products.
Customer service is a match for its main rivals, so new players here should find the experience easy to warm to and any issues handled with courtesy and efficiency.
In many respects Betway Casino doesn't offer any standout features that put it ahead of its rivals, and in regard to its online slots some players may feel it's limited at the moment by having just Microgaming powered games.
However, it is undoubtedly a very respectable choice for any new player and the quality of the online slots it does have will really not disappoint.
Unless you're absolutely adamant that your choice of online casino must have specific slots from beyond the Microgaming universe, Betway Casino should be on your radar as a very fine place to play.
Betway Casino Bonus: Key Terms
New customers only. Opt-in required. 100% Match Bonus up to £250 on 1st deposit of £20+. Additional bonuses of up to £250 on 2nd deposit of £20+ and up to £500 on 3rd deposit of £20+. 50x bonus wagering applies. Credit Card, Debit Card & PayPal deposits only. Other conditions apply.

With vertical shiplap cladding the walls and sunlight pouring in the through the skylights the space ran the risk of feeling cold and sterile but aged wood floors set in a herringbone pattern remedied the situation. The reclaimed wood was salvaged from a 100- year old factory by a company called Authentic Reclaimed located in Georgia and add an old-world charm to the flexible studio.
This stunning dresser is a vintage piece which was restored and repainted by the designer. Its intriguing block pattern contributes to the overall pattern story of the room, contrasting with the more feminine pieces in the room, like the pink gourd lamps.
Reclaimed wood becomes a beautiful table and addition to this room.
Reclaimed wood is used to create a rustic double vanity in this contemporary retreat. Marble countertops are paired with black accessories creating a sophisticated space.
Ornate details abound in this Old World kitchen, including the metallic range hood. The reclaimed tin hood shell features scrollwork similar to the moldings throughout the space.
Reclaimed-inspired hardwood floors traverse the stairwell and into the kitchen and dining room, creating a sense of unity throughout the first floor.
Kelly and Co. designed an amazing space for their client who loves to play music and invite exciting acts from all over the world to join him for events benefiting his music foundation. Also included in the space is this fabulous bar made out of reclaimed wood for kicking back between sets.
This kitchen's gorgeous custom island made from reclaimed wood brings instant character to the space. Rusted metal bar stools add industrial flair, and chic open shelving completes the eclectic look.
Cache your stash and add architectural interest to your dressing room with a reclaimed plantation shutter. Prop it against a bare wall as a one-of-a-kind ledge for colorful earrings.
Waste not, want not: Instead of heading to the lumber yard, more and more furniture designers are looking to the past for their materials. This Reclaimed Wood Kitchen Island, $475, from Herb's Furnishings is one great example. Handcrafted of 100% reclaimed wood from Baltimore, Md., the island's frame is crafted from old beams, and its shelves are reclaimed pine paneling. The butcher's block top is made of reclaimed hardwood flooring, which is sealed with food-safe mineral oil and beeswax. The island sits on leveling stems to ensure a flat cutting surface, and it includes a steel bar with S hooks for hanging pots and other utensils.
Give a plank of reclaimed pallet wood new life with a few silver nails and a handful of distinctive drawer pulls. The wood's natural weathering provides a rustic backdrop for sparkly bracelets and necklaces.
As seen on Beach Flip, contestants Martha and Alex created a wood feature wall using whitewashed pine on the first floor at the renovated Comfort Breeze condo.
As seen on Beach Flip, decorations include custom artwork in the first floor living room at the renovated Gulf Dreams condo.
Add a touch of antiquity overhead by using salvaged floors as architectural interest. This multi-colored ceiling becomes a focal point in this otherwise black and white room.
A reclaimed wood console table adds rustic charm to this stylish living room. The chic taupe armchair provides comfy seating.
This foyer feels fresh and texturally intriguing with a reclaimed wood countertop, metal sconces and a bench with a striped cushion.
The reclaimed wood wall featured in the kitchen and dining room is continued into this rustic American beach house living room.

Nikki Webster, of 'Strawberry Kisses' and The Masked Singer fame, and a Central Coast local, is calling for auditions to launch the Aussie version of reality TV show Dance Moms.
You know, the show where parents yell, kids cry, Abby Lee-Miller gets done for fraud and Maddie Ziegler gets scooped up by Sia. Yeah, that one.
The callout is for kiddos aged between eight and sixteen who "have the dance moves, dedication and drive to be a star," and "outshine everyone they compete against." The prize? What could be the "beginning of their promising dance career."
Potential entrants need to upload two 60 second videos to YouTube, one dancing and one interacting with their parent or caregiver.
There's no official start date but auditions are slated to start late January and early February in NSW (where Nik's studios are) next year.
