October is National Breast Cancer Month

October is “National breast cancer awareness month” This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart because 26 years ago my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent both chemotherapy and radiation. September 2017 she made 25 years cancer free, she was very happy about that, unfortunately she died from complications of Heart Disease, but not before celebrating her anniversary of being cancer free. I thought it was very important to discuss breast cancer, know the facts, the risks, and the signs.

According to “Cancer.org” In 2015, it was estimated that there would be 1,658,370 new cancer cases diagnosed and 589,430 cancer deaths in the US.

In 2018 it is estimated that there will be 1,735,350 new cancer cases diagnosed and 609,640 cancer deaths in the United States. Breast Cancer awareness is helping.

These are staggering numbers and of particular concern to me since I am a high risk woman given that my mother did have breast cancer. In fact, this puts me at a greater risk than most when it comes to getting breast cancer myself, as it is hereditary. Because of this, there have been multiple occasions when I’ve considered having the relevant genetic testing for cancer so I can see whether I am at an increased risk or not. If it’s caught early enough, I have a higher rate of survival, just like my mother had. She survived it, and that doesn’t mean that I can’t too, (if I do have it that is). When my mother was going through breast cancer and had to have Chemo and surgery she was so sick and she lost her hair…I was so scared about getting the disease because all I could think about was losing my hair and my breasts, how superficial I was. I defined my beauty to my hair and breast like many other women. Seeing how strong my mother was and how beautiful she looked bald, I realized I could not allow my breast and hair to define who I am as a person. Don’t get me wrong I like my hair and I complain about bad hair days just like 95% of the total female population but I don’t stress about it. No need to stress on things you can purchase…if you lose your hair, you can buy a wig…you lose your breast you can buy new ones from a breast augmentation denver clinic…problem solved. Focussing on the disease is all that matters, that is why it is important to know the risk, recognize the signs and to take action on prevention care.
Everyone is at risk for breast cancer.

Being a Woman
Overweight
Increased Age
a family history of breast cancer or a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer

There are some factors that can increase a person’s risk, but some people develop breast cancer when the risk factor is not present. I would like to also add that there are men that develop breast cancer and younger women as well. Recognizing the signs are very important to early detection and being cured. Performing breast self-exam will help you know your body and what is normal and not normal. If you notice a change, you should see your doctor immediately. Here are some possible warning signs:

Lumps, a hard knot or thickening in any part of the breast
Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening that does not go away
pulling in of the nipple or other parts of the breast
New Pain in one spot that does not go away

Early detection is key in diagnosing breast cancer. The earlier it is treated the more opportunities you will have for treatment. If you visit this website, you will see that some people have argued cbda oil can play an effective role in inhibiting breast cancer cell migration. Many cases of breast cancer are found by monthly breast self-exams…an annual mammogram is one of the single most effective methods of early detection. No one looks forward to having a very uncomfortable mammogram, especially women like myself who are well-endowed and you feel like your breast has just been smashed like a pancake. The sooner a problem is found, the more treatment options are available and the better chance you have of beating the disease and living a full healthy life. Once breast cancer has been detected, that is when all energy can be focused into enjoying life and defeating the disease. If somebody close to you is battling breast cancer, then it is imperative that you do whatever you can to help them enjoy every second as much as possible. Whether this be through gifting breast cancer flowers or any other methods, its crucial that they know how much we love them. I hope this reaches someone and you decide to take action, your life is important so you must take care of yourself. If health insurance is an area of concern, there are many services that offer FREE mammograms, all you have to do is ask. I am grateful that I have not been diagnosed I continue to do monthly BSF and I have yearly mammograms, no one knows why and how many women get breast cancer but if I am meant to get I will have a better chance of survival because I do partake in preventive care. I need to be around to nag my husband, drive my girls completely crazy and plan all of my friends birthday celebrations…until next time read Hamptons Mouthpiece….always keeping you in the know!!!! October is National Breast Cancer Month

According to New York State Breast Cancer Services: “Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in New York. It is also the second leading cause of cancer-related death in New York women. The best protection against breast cancer is early detection and diagnosis. Governor Andrew Cuomo has increased awareness and screening for breast cancer, including a public awareness campaign, community outreach programs, patient navigators, and mobile mammography vans.”

Require 210 hospitals and hospital extension clinics to offer extended hours of screening for at least four hours per week to help women who have difficulty scheduling mammograms during the typical 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. workday.
Eliminate annual deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurance payments (“cost-sharing”) for all screening mammograms, including those provided to women more frequently than current federal screening guidelines such as annual mammograms for women in their forties
Eliminate cost-sharing for diagnostic imaging for breast cancer, including diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, and breast MRIs for women at high risk for breast cancer.
Adds public employees of cities with a population of one million or more, to the population of public employees in New York State who are currently allowed four hours of leave for screening for breast cancer each year.
The NYS Cancer Services Program offers free breast cancer screening and diagnostic services for uninsured, eligible New Yorkers.

The Bridge Car Show Fast and Furious

The Bridge Car Show presented by Richard Mille located at The Bridge Golf Club in Bridgehampton, New York showcased 160 Rare Cars alongside Contemporary Art Fair, there were racing cars, vintage cars and luxury cars of every type on September 15th, 2018. The invite-only event this year increased its car exhibition from 100 to 164 rare and magnificent automobiles, alongside an expanded contemporary art fair featuring 12 of the world’s most renowned art galleries.

I am told it is the only event of its kind, and one of the most highly anticipated events of the season for guests, luxury brands and automakers alike, who are using the opportunity to do something special for this carefully curated audience through a variety of installations, product debuts, and displays. At events like this, it is very likely that only the new and exciting upcoming vehicles will be on display. You may even be lucky and see a car that is similar to the BMW M Sport that takes your fancy. Who knows, it may not be long until you could be driving one of your very own. The possibilities are endless at events like this. It is understandable that anyone who has a passion for cars would love to get their hands on some of these vehicles at the car show. Who wouldn’t? You need to be able to afford to make a purchase as big as this, and not everyone can do this just yet. Did you know that in Ireland, you can get cash for cars in Galway at Cars Bought for Cash? Maybe if you have an old car in your garage that you don’t use much or are looking to upgrade, this may be something worth looking into. You’ll at least get some cash to put towards one day having the car of your dreams. But before riding it on the road, you must make sure you have insurance for it otherwise it could cost a pretty penny to fix. There are plenty of insurance companies out there that will provide the right cover for you, whether it be a classic car, a motorcycle or even a van. You can get insurance for your van from Money Expert.

Swiss watch manufacturer Richard Mille debuted a never-before-seen limited edition watch available exclusively for the Americas; the innovative RM 12-01 Tourbillion, featuring a manual winding movement that reinterprets the art and methods of watch design.

NetJets exhibited a full-size mock-up of their popular Bombardier Challenger 350;
Five hand-crafted hypercars (four limited-production Huayras and one Zonda) by Pagani;
Karma Automotive’s new special edition, hand-painted James Verbicky Art Car;
Rolls Royce’s new Cullinan (their first SUV)
Bugatti’s fastest and most powerful super sports car, the Chiron;
Terrafugia’s new Transition prototype – the world’s first practical flying car.

The September Art Fair at The Bridge expanded its presence in its second year, including twelve globally recognized contemporary galleries, doubling the size of its inaugural edition.

The art fair component was organized by Suzanne Butler (CANADA), Max Levai and Pascal Spengemann (Marlborough Contemporary) and was presented within Lars Fisk-designed doublewide shipping containers. It featured select works from 303 Gallery, CANADA, Andrew Edlin Gallery, Reyes Projects, Karma, Perrotin, Andrew Kreps Gallery, Marlborough Contemporary, Morán Morán, Vito Schnabel, Sies + Höke, and David Zwirner Gallery.

Some notable attendees at Saturday’s event included: David Muir, Steve Madden, Kelly Rutherford, Lyor Cohen, Vito Schnabel, Tracy Maitland, Howard M. Lorber, Alexandre Mille, Christopher Pagani, Frank Cooper, Roger and Wendy Ferris, Joey Wolffer, Lars Fisk, Zuzanna Buchwald, Polina Proshkina, Nacho Ramos and Whitney Fairchild, Stuart Parr, Xin Li, Michael and Elizabeth Borrico, and Silke and Savas Tsititridis.

Notable cars from this year’s event included a 1957 Maserati 300S XKSS, one of 26 examples built and raced at LeMans, a 1952 Chrysler SWB Ghia Prototype Coupe exhibited at the Paris Auto Show in 1953 which remains the sole vehicle of its design, a 1965 Shelby GT350 R originally raced by famed American drive Mark Donahue, known as “Captain Nice” at The Bridge, and a 1954 Aston Martin DB2/$ Drophead Coupe by Graber.

In addition, the line-up included a smattering of European sports cars including a 1960 Lancia Flaminia SZ, multiple Air Cooled Porsches highlighted by a 1964 356C Cabriolet, and a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Pininfarina Rondine Concept.

Firsttimer at The Bridge was the SCG 003S (S for Stradale/road version)

I had an opportunity to speak with Jesse Glickenhaus the Managing Director at Glickenhaus Racing to talk about this take your breathe away vehicle.

Tell me about this car and how did you get started?

Jesse: We are an NHTSA-approved Low Volume Manufacturer that makes race cars for the road. We have been designing and racing cars for the 24 Hours of Nurburgring since 2011, and then we build road-legal versions.

Our SCG 003S (S for Stradale/road version) started with the dream of making the ultimate GT3 race car. We took everything we learned in 2 years of racing (including 2 24 Hour Finishes, 1 first in class, and 1 FIA World Championship Cup in Alternative Energies) and decided to make the ultimate GT3 from the ground up. The 003C (C for Competizione or race) was born and raced from 2015-2018. It came in first in class twice, took the Pole in 2017, ran a 6:33 on the Nordschleife course in Germany. Then we made a road-legal version, which is 003S, with a more comfortable interior, suspension, and gearbox.

What is the cost of this car?

Jesse: The price is 2.2 million and they are custom made to order, with a lead time of 9-12 months, depending on what the customer wants.

This vehicle is powered by a BMW twin turbo 4.4-liter reverse flow engine, which will be in the BMW M8. It makes net 1900 pounds of downforce in road trim and pulls 2 Gs of mechanical grip on road tires.

Where do you drive it?

Jesse: We drive it all over, including from our Factory in Sleepy Hollow to the Bridge and back on Saturday. People ask how it is on the roads, and it handles incredibly well. The Nurburgring is a winding, bumpy track, and the car doesn’t mind the bumps.

We have three settings for the suspension controllable from the cockpit (comfort, sport, and track, and even in a sport setting it was fine on the road. On the way home in five miles of stop and go traffic it wasn’t warm with the AC running.

Will you be back next year?

Jesse: It was our first time attending the Bridge, and Jeff (Jeff Warne, Golf Pro, at The Bridge) and the team did a fantastic job with the entire event. We will definitely be coming back next year.

Check out the video of them driving home. It has over 200,000 views on Instagram: INSTAGRAM VIDEO

This was a FANTASTIC event that was very well attended on The Bridge Golf Course and Club. The grounds were filled with incredible vehicles of historic pedigrees. Talk about Fast and Furious!!!! These cars were built for speed and luxury. Vintage cars, racing cars, Yachts by Riva and Burgess and a plane that Transitions to a car. Kurt Leggard attended for Hamptons Mouthpiece, This was a fantasy dream come true for him. He stated he didn’t know where to turn as his fixation on fast cars was satiated by the first few minutes at this event.

Thank you Kelly Downey of SHAMIN ABAS for inviting Hamptons MouthPiece to this event. You and your staff were so accommodating and professional in managing this wonderful event. We hope to be invited back next year. Click here for PHOTO GALLERY

GRATEFUL….Don’t Sweat the small stuff!

GRATEFUL…Don’t Sweat the small stuff! On this anniversary of 9/11, We often get wrapped up in small stuff that just does not matter. We stay angry with loved ones and close friends for things that are so unimportant. Tomorrow is not promised to us and God has a plan for each one of us. Tuesday, September 11th 2001 is a day that I will never forget. It was a horrific day in American History, and I can remember that day as if it just happened yesterday. I take comfort in knowing that those innocent people who lost their lives on that day will never be forgotten. I have not visited the 911 museum but it is on my list of things to do next time I am in NYC. All we can do is LIVE, and not get so wrapped up in sweating the small stuff...Life is a gift that should be treasured and never taken for granted.

Kurt had a touching poem in his possession called “Just for Today“ by Sally Meyer a poem to a child from a mother and it touched me so much I wanted to share with all of you. (Click here to read the poem)

I can remember when I first moved to Sag Harbor 17 years ago…with a then 8-year-old and a 2-year-old. Kurt was working in NYC and I was alone in a new area with no friends or family, feeling somewhat overwhelmed. I was still working in Brooklyn for the 1st month and I remember the morning of 9/11 I had just dropped Dani off at school and I was going to drive into Brooklyn with Allura to my job. Kurt had called me because he had just received a phone call telling him his father was diagnosed with cancer and he was so distraught, I talked to him and he was able to pull himself together and continue his drive into NYC to work. An hour later he called to say Ness turn on the news…do not drive into the city today. That is when I remember turning on the TV and I felt frozen…many of my friends worked in many of the world trade buildings and a feeling of intense grief came over me. I am grateful all of my friends are doing well, but many parents did not make it home to their children. On this very special day and the anniversary of 9/11, I share this poem with many parents feelings overwhelmed and not taking a minute to just enjoy your child. Although my children are much older 25 and 18, I realize that I often get wrapped up with work and I do not stop to enjoy a conversation with them. Take the time turn off the cell phone, television, computer. When everyone is together we play a game of Sorry...a board game. The cell phones are put away and we just enjoy each other’s company.

I am so grateful and blessed for my wonderful daughters in my life and there is not a day that I do not say thank you for loaning them to me to raise, nurture, guide, love, teach and get to a place where they will hopefully one day become a parent doing what I have done for them. In life, we often sweat the small stuff and this poem “Just for Today” by Sally Meyer just put things into perspective for me as a parent and I took the time to enjoy every minute of my girls growing up because tomorrow is not promised to us. My girls are now women and I still make time every day to talk to them and when I can spend time with them doing things they enjoy doing.
