Cape Town Food Find: Home Cooking from a Top ... - Travel + Leisure

05.30.12

Here?s a first-visit-to-Cape Town mandate: you must do the scenic Cape Point drive. If you enjoy views, or fresh air, or anything good in life, this is surely one of the world?s most epic routes. Leave the city by looping around the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and head south along the coast, with stops at Maiden?s Cove and Chapman?s Peak for some stellar photo ops. You?ll pass lovely towns, and may want to drop by the Bay Harbour Market at Hout Bay or the salty waterfront at Kalk?s Bay, where a visit to Olympia Caf? & Deli is preordained. Beware of baboons?they?re known for letting themselves into passing cars in hopes of relieving people of their snacks?but the ostriches you might spot on the side of the road are harmless.

Then it?s off to Boulders Beach to pay your respects to a tribe of African penguins, en route to Cape Point, where you can ride a funicular up to the historic lighthouse. Finally, end your day by watching the sun bob into the water at the Cape of Good Hope, the southwesternmost point of the African continent, and a great place for a picture like this. Because? why not?

?

Since this drive is a requisite for anyone who?s Cape Town bound, it?s hard finding something truly unique and relatively undiscovered along the way. (Apparently I wasn?t the only person enticed by the prospect of frolicking with penguins on the beach, judging by the scores of co-frolickers around me.) But thanks to my in-the-know guides at Micato Safaris, my friends and I lucked onto a gem of a dining experience in Scarborough, a tiny beachfront community halfway down the peninsula. In February, chef Bruce Robertson, one of South Africa?s most celebrated toques (formerly of the Showroom and Cape Grace), began opening his charming beach house to the public for two extremely limited (and ?berexclusive) lunch seatings a day at Boat House.

And what a lunch it is. Five elaborate, seafood-centric courses are artfully presented over the course of a languid afternoon, while the barefoot chef engages guests with rip-roaring anecdotes from his adventurous life (he?s hitchhiked from Cape Town to Cairo, and lived to tell the tale).

We feasted on a seafood chowder with homemade gnocchi, Cape snoek p?t? with cr?me fra?che and peas (this may be the first time in my life I finished my peas), and green fish with mashed potatoes, beans, and spinach, all sourced from a five-mile radius on the peninsula. Just when I was convinced I couldn?t possibly eat another bite, out came dessert, a stewed-fruit samboosa with a panna cotta inspired by the region?s distinctive Cape Malay comfort food. Good thing I have a second stomach for sweets.

Chef Bruce?s table d?h?te is a picture-perfect stop on a picture-perfect drive, but keep an eye on your watch, since you can get so carried away with his stories that you might while away many more hours than planned. Don?t take him up on his offer to take you for a spin on his mountain unicycle (yes, unicycle, you read that correctly)?you don?t want to miss your date with the penguins!

Heat Beat Celtics In Overtime, 115-111: Miami Wins Game 2 Despite Rajon Rondo's 44 Points (VIDEO)

MIAMI ? The biggest postseason comeback in Miami Heat franchise history wasn't enough.

The Heat needed more ? and got it, digging deep to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

LeBron James scored 34 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored 23 and the Heat rallied from 15 down to beat the Boston Celtics 115-111 in overtime on Wednesday night.

Mario Chalmers scored 22 for the Heat, who won despite an unbelievable night by Rajon Rondo. The Celtics guard played all 53 minutes and scored 44 points, dished out 10 assists and grabbed eight rebounds.

Paul Pierce scored 21 points, Kevin Garnett added 18 and Ray Allen 13 for Boston.

Allen's 3-pointer with 34.3 seconds left tied the game at 99-all. James missed two shots, first a layup ? he got the rebound of his own miss ? and then a jumper on the final possession of regulation, and to overtime they went.

Game 3 is Friday in Boston.

The Heat had come back from 14 points down in playoff games twice before, first in Game 6 of the 2006 NBA finals ? their title clincher ? and again last season against Philadelphia.

And this one was slipping away, more than once. James also two free throws 21 seconds into overtime, and Miami looked in trouble.

The scoring dossier in overtime began like this: Rondo scored, Heat tied it, Rondo scored, Heat tied it, Rondo scored, Heat tied it.

When Rondo missed a layup with 1:33 left, Miami took advantage, with Udonis Haslem getting a dunk to put the Heat up 105-103. And after a turnover on the next Boston possession, Wade drove the lane, hit the deck and watched as his layup bounced on the rim and dropped through.

Garnett stood over Wade and glared, to no avail. Wade hit the free throw, and Miami was up 110-105 with 59.7 seconds left.

On a night where the Heat missed 16 free throws ? including at least four by James in crucial situations ? they would survive.

Miami was down by 15 in the first half and by as many as 11 in the third quarter, before a pair of 3-pointers by James started a comeback. Wade made consecutive jumpers midway through the third to shake off a slow start to his night and get the Heat within three both times, and the 2006 NBA finals MVP set up Haslem for a three-point play with 2:55 left that gave Miami its first lead since the opening minutes, 73-71.

As Haslem's shot dropped, Wade spun at midcourt and punched the air. More highlights followed.

Miami's lead got to as much as seven in the third after James blocked Pierce's shot near the rim, sending the ball high into the air and starting a sequence that was capped by a three-point play from Wade, pushing the margin to 78-71. It capped a 12-0 run for the Heat, who took an 81-75 lead into the fourth.

It was the fifth straight game where Miami outscored its opponent by double-digits in the third quarter. In each of the previous four of those outings, Miami never trailed in the final period.

That streak ended in this one.

And a call that Boston argued against played a big role in the Celtics getting the lead back.

James stole the ball from Rondo early in the fourth, drove down the court and got wrapped up by Mickael Pietrus, who was assessed a clear-path foul, meaning Miami got two free throws and the ball. James missed both foul shots, Mike Miller missed a 3-pointer later in the possession, and the lead stayed at 85-81.

Barely a minute later, it was gone. Pietrus hit a 3-pointer, Rondo followed with a steal and layup and Boston led 86-85. The Celtics led by five with 3:50 left after a jumper by Pierce, and the Celtics looked to be in control.

It was temporary. The Heat scored the next nine points, Haslem's jumper with 1:08 remaining put Miami up 98-94. So of course, back came Boston ? Allen's 3-pointer tying the game a few moments after Pierce fouled out.

Early on, it was all Boston. Over the first 15-plus minutes, Boston was shooting 65 percent (15 for 23), Miami 27 percent (7 for 26).

Miami's point guard did his best to keep the Heat close.

Chalmers had 12 in the second quarter and seven in a 14-6 Miami spurt to end the half. He hit a pair of 3-pointers during the flurry, Wade got his first points of the night on a falling-down layup with 27 seconds left and the Heat closed the margin to 53-46 by halftime.

NOTES: Celebrities in attendance included UCLA coach Ben Howland, rapper Flo Rida and former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, a regular in the Heat crowd. ... Rondo's other 22-point first half was Feb. 22, 2009 at Phoenix. ... Allen, considered one of the game's absolute best shooters for many years, said he's been getting plenty of unsolicited advice lately on how to get rolling again. "I've only been doing this for 20 years," Allen said at the morning shootaround. ... Haslem (6) had more rebounds than Boston (5) in the third quarter. ... Heat C Ronny Turiaf started, played the first 4:51 and did not return. Joel Anthony started the second half in Turiaf's place.

Colleges' bank deals saddle students with big fees

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A public interest group says as many as 900 colleges are pushing students into using payment cards that carry hefty costs, sometimes even to access students' financial aid money.

The U.S. Public Interest Research Group Higher Education Fund says in a report published Wednesday that colleges and banks often make secretive deals allowing them to rake in millions from the fees. The report says some of the fees appear to violate federal law.

The report says more than 9 million people, or two out of five U.S. higher-education students, attend schools that have deals with financial companies.

The fees add to the mountain of debt many higher-education students must take on. U.S. student debt tops $1 trillion, and has surpassed credit cards as the biggest source of unsecured debt.

THIS IS A BROADCAST UPDATE. AP's full story is below.

It took Mario Parker-Milligan less than a semester to decide that he was paying too many fees to Higher One, the company hired by his college to pay out students' financial aid on debit cards.

Four years after he opted out, his classmates still face more than a dozen fees ? for replacement cards, for using the cards as all-purpose debit cards, for using an ATM other than the two on-campus kiosks owned by Higher One.

"They sold it as a faster, cheaper way for the college to get students their money," said Parker-Milligan, 23, student body president at Lane Community College in Eugene, Ore. "It may be cheaper for the college, but it's not cheaper for the students."

As many as 900 colleges are pushing students into using payment cards that carry hefty costs, sometimes even to get to their financial aid money, according to a report to be released Wednesday by a public interest group.

Colleges and banks rake in millions from the fees, often through secretive deals and sometimes in apparent violation of federal law, according to the report, an early copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.

More than two out of five U.S. higher-education students ? more than 9 million people ? attend schools that have deals with financial companies, says the report, written by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Higher Education Fund.

The fees add to the mountain of debt many students already take on to get a diploma. U.S. student debt tops $1 trillion, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Student loans have surpassed credit cards as the biggest source of unsecured debt in America, according to the CFPB, which regulates cards and private student lenders.

Among the fees charged by Higher One, according to its website, is a $50 "lack of documentation fee" for students who fail to submit certain paperwork. The U.S. Department of Education called the charging of such fees "unallowable" in guidance to financial aid officers issued last month.

Higher One founder and Chief Operating Officer Miles Lasater said in an email that the company takes compliance with the government's rules "very seriously," and officially swears that to the government each year.

"We are committed to providing good value accounts that are designed for college students," he said, and students must review the company's fee list when they sign up for an account. He cited a study commissioned by Higher One that declared Higher One "a low-cost provider for this market." The same study found that the median fees charged to the 2 million students with Higher One accounts totaled $49 annually.

Among the fees charged to students who open Higher One accounts: $50 if an account is overdrawn for more than 45 days, $10 per month if the student stops using his account for six months, $29 to $38 for overdrawing an account with a recurring bill payment and 50 cents to use a PIN instead of a signature system at a retail store.

Higher One has agreements with 520 campuses that enroll more than 4.3 million students, about one-fifth of the students enrolled in college nationwide, according to public filings and the U.S. PIRG report. Wells Fargo and US Bank combined have deals with schools that enroll 3.7 million, the report says.

Lane Community College's president, Mary Spilde, said in an interview that the real problem is a "lack of adequate public funding," which forces students to seek financial aid and colleges to find ways to cut costs.

"Many institutions are looking at ways to streamline and to do things that we're good at, which is education and learning, and not banking," Spilde said.

Programs like Higher One's shift the cost of handing out financial aid money from universities, which no longer have to print and mail checks, to fee-paying students, said Rich Williams, the report's lead author.

"For decades, student aid was distributed without fees," Williams said. "Now bank middlemen are making out like bandits using campus cards to siphon off millions of student aid dollars."

Students can opt out of the programs and choose direct deposit or paper checks to receive their college aid, but relatively few do. The cards and accounts are marketed aggressively using college letterhead and websites carrying the endorsement of colleges. Higher One also warns students that it will take extra days if they choose direct deposit or a paper check.

In the end, students feel locked into accounts before they have a chance to shop for a better deal, Parker-Milligan said.

He said that's especially tough for poor students who rely on food stamps and other social services. Those students budget down to the penny, and don't plan on paying a fee when Higher One's ATM runs out of cash, he said.

Offerings by financial companies vary by campus. Some issue checking accounts with debit cards. Others offer prepaid debit cards, which are similar to bank debit cards but can carry higher fees and offer fewer consumer protections.

Often, students' campus ID cards double as payment cards. At the University of Minnesota, TCF Bank issues cards that serve as school IDs, ATM and debit cards, library cards, security cards, health care cards, phone cards, and stored-value cards for vending machines, the report said. TCF also has branches on campus and 25-year naming rights to the football stadium. Its cards charge similar fees, the report says.

Having such visibility on campus is a big benefit for banks seeking exclusive access to an untapped group of potential customers. Many banks are willing to pay universities for the privilege.

Under its contract with Huntington Bank, Ohio State University will receive $25 million over 15 years, plus a sweetener of $100 million in loans and investments for the neighborhoods around campus, the report said. Florida State receives a portion of every ATM fee paid by a student, it says.

It's difficult to get a full picture of how much money the schools are getting because most of them refuse to release their contracts with banks. Only a handful were available to the authors of the report.

Ohio State and Florida State did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The National Association of College and University Business Officers, a trade group involved in the issue, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Lane Community College receives no payments under its contract with Higher One, Spilde said. Lasiter said Higher One does not "offer revenue sharing" to colleges that it partners with. However, Higher One does pay some universities under existing contracts, according to the U.S. PIRG report.

Campus card deals have become more popular in part because of recent legal changes that cut into the profits banks can generate from students.

A 2009 law banned credit cards given to students who had no way of repaying. It forced colleges to disclose deals with credit card companies and stopped some forms of marketing, such as offering students free gifts in exchange for obtaining a credit card.

Until recently, banks also made a lot more money from student loans. They extended federal aid to students, and also offered confusingly similar, higher-cost private loans alongside the government programs. Congress cut them out of the equation in 2010.

Neither change affected debit cards. As the recession forced states to slash higher education budgets, companies such as Higher One, Wells Fargo and US Bank approached colleges with an attractive proposition: The companies would assume the cost and hassle of handing out student aid funds, often paying for the privilege.

CCSVI: Was it worth it? ? MS Alternatives

As of today, this is Ryan?s report on how he feels:

Still have the weakness in the legs since Mexico (he didn?t have it while we were there ? will discuss later).

The weakness in the legs goes in spurts. ?Don?t know why. ?When the right hip goes out I look like an old man.

Numbness and tingling is still there. ?On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst I?ve ever had it ? it?s currently a 1 or 2. ?Of course I don?t know if it?s really that little or I?ve just become so use to it. ?There?s been no improvement since Mexico.

I don?t feel any better than I did before I left.

I have good days and bad days and I don?t know why that is. ?There is no reason for the good days and same for the bad.

I am hoping in 6 months I will see more results. ?I feel like there is something in my lower body that needs fixed.

One thing I can say is that I?m not as tired all the time like I was before.

When my body feels OK, my balance is fine (body feeling OK means Ryan?s hip is in). ?My hip and low back dictate everything (in terms of aggravating symptoms).

My optic neuritis is better.

My brain fog, generally speaking, has improved ? but I still have it sometimes.

My perception of Ryan?s surgery

I really don?t know what to think at this point. ?I am playing wait and see. ?I can definitely say that his stamina is better than before. Ryan?s even been doing yoga on a regular basis! The weird thing in all of this is that within 48 hours of Ryan?s surgery he was a totally different person. ?It was amazing. ?He was doing things that he could have never done before. ?Swimming in the ocean and walking around the resort all day without getting tired? ?Unheard of!

So why is it that when we get home, things basically go back to normal?

I don?t know, but I do have a good guess?or two.

One is the electrical issue. ?Have you read the book Earthing? ?If you haven?t I highly recommend it. ?It is all about your electrical relationship to the Earth, and MS is an ?electrical? issue they say?

I feel that being in Mexico, walking in bare feet, grounded to the earth and swimming in a highly electrically charged ocean played a part in Ryan?s symptoms. ?Also, he was not exposed to a million EMFs like he is at home ? especially being a school teacher where EMF exposure is TERRIBLE. ?Ryan has more electrical devices in his classroom than is even reasonable ? eight or so computers, phones, outlets, projectors, etc. ?It?s crazy!

The second guess is the chemical issue. ?We live in a valley of heavy spray use by the orchardists. We have all kinds of chemtrails sprayed over us all the time. ?It has been shown that these chemtrails have high levels of aluminum and barium in them ? and aluminum is a terrible neurotoxin. ?Perhaps Ryan?s immune system has a lot more to deal with here at home?

So the question remains, was it worth it? ?We can?t say as of yet. ?First, we have at least 5 more months before we can really make a judgement (based on Ryan?s improvements). ?Second, we are waiting to see how Ryan?s symptoms change based on his environment. ?How will he feel when he is out of school for the summer? ?How will he feel when he goes on his ?Man Trip? and is totally away from any EMFs and surrounded by nature?

We also have to keep in mind that most people that have the procedure and see huge improvements are much, much worse than Ryan. ?I think some of Ryan?s co-workers still don?t realize he has MS! lol

Next blog I will give the costs of the procedure, how we set it up, and my analysis of the overall hospital experience.

Small business networking | Reignite 4 Wellness | History of ...

Over the last few years we have seen a huge rise in social media as a business tool and a way to connect. There are now more than 900 million people on Facebook,139 million on Linkedin, a few billion tweets per week on Twitter and over a hundred million blogs. It?s all quite mind boggling. Nutrition Entrepreneurs are no strangers to this phenomenon. We have our fingers right on those digital pads connecting, connecting, connecting.

Are we spending more time socializing on our computers and Smartphones than face to face? According to the social discovery site Badoo almost 40% of American spend more time socializing online than they do in person. And 1/5 of people prefer to text or email than talk over the phone or face to face.

This last Spring, an article in the New York Times by Sherry Turkle really hit home when she explained that through social media ?we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.? Connecting with others is not the same as true and deep one-on-one conversation where body language, facial expressions and voice intonation can tell you a lot about what a person is doing or feeling. Meeting a person face-to face may be more important for your business and for long-term relationships.

For me, all of my nutrition jobs in the last 23 years have been acquired through direct face-to-face conversations. I became a consultant to a food company from knowing the owner of my gym ? who knew the chef of the company. I received most of my pediatric private practice patients from pediatricians who I had met face to face. I get clients today by what I call ?just showing up? ? showing up to cocktail parties, showing up to networking events, charity events and to dinners and lunch dates and then of course following up!

In summary both face to face conversations and social media connections make for a savvy business entrepreneur.

Trev Meaney Interview Part 1 ? The Lancashire Writing Hub

Trev Meaney

Biography: Trev Meaney is a spoken word/performance poet with 10 years of performance training and experience, including a BA (Hons) Drama and Creative Writing. He?processes a fast paced style with plenty of humour and ranges from political, to social observations to the damn right ludicrous. He has worked on many creative/artistic projects?as well as having performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Kendal Calling Festival, Manchester Comedy Festival, Kendal Brewery Arts Centre, as well as for the Saatchi Gallery, plus many more. He also looks forward to performing at the Cheltenham Poetry Festival and the Cloudspotting Festival this year. In 2011 Trev won the open mic prize slam at Spotlight Lancaster and was published in ?Poetry Rivals? ? Forward Poetry?s end of year anthology. Born in his beloved southern Ireland he has lived in the wonderfully historical city of Lancaster for many years now.

Introduction: The LWH theme for May is Place.? Trev Meaney?s tremendous poem, Eire to me,?is the seventh and final of a collection of Place pieces commissioned by the Pretend Boss.?Trev has written about Ireland and there?s a video of?him performing?his poem if you click on the title or HERE (sorry if the syncing is a bit out).

Also, Trev agreed to be interviewed.? Part 1 of the interview is below and Part 2 will appear in an hour.

I particularly like?Trev because he?s observant, sensitive and?fall-over funny.? I also like him because he laughed?loudly at? something I was reading once (it was meant to be funny) and then came to me afterwards to tell me how much he?d enjoyed the story. Yes, he is that sensitive and yes, I am that shallow. However -?a word?to the wise?-?NEVER agree to be on stage after Trev Meaney; you might as well go home and?shampoo your tea-cosy collection.

KM. Hello Trev. Thank you for speaking to me. First of all, congratulations on being appointed Lancaster Library Poet in Residence!? I attended you first soiree, which was a sensational talent-fest.? What other plans do you have for the library?

TM. Thank you very much! Also thanks for coming along. I have many plans for the library but I am concentrating more on live poetry events, to give both established and less established poets a platform to show their poetry. It?s also an opportunity to showcase the wealth of talent Lancaster has as well as surrounding areas. I am also going to organise some open mic nights. However my partner and I, are expected our first child so I have to hold fire on organising events for a little while. I am also taking an active part in reading groups and working with high schools within the library.

KM. Many congratulations. Babies are the best thing! I hope all goes well. I believe you studied Drama and Creative Writing; where?

TM. Yes that?s right! I studied BA Hons Drama as my major and creative writing as my minor. It was at St Martin?s College, now known as the University of Cumbria.

KM. That?s where I did my Creative Writing degree, too! How spooky! (what with us having nearly the same initials and all). Some people are sceptical about whether creative writing can be taught; would you advise aspiring writers to go to university to learn about the craft? (do you think craft sound a bit poncey??)?

TM. I?m not sure to be honest. All I can say is, yes I did study, therefore I should have learnt the art of writing creatively. However, I didn?t really commit to studying whilst at uni but more so committed myself to lots of late nights and work related avoidance tactics. Perhaps I subconsciously picked up a few techniques up along the way but apart from that, what I have in regards to being creative is basically as they say ?au natural? (in the beauty industry?) and as for writing, grammar, punctuation etc, I probably learnt the basics at school, but then again I wasn?t half cooked through out that period of my life. I reckon if you apply yourself to a creative writing course you will most definitely be taught the fundamental rules and skills, but then it?s up to the individual.

KM. Have you always written?

TM. I used write, very much in secret and would have been horrified had anyone clapped eyes on my poems. It was a case of scribbling some words on a scrap of paper, wondering how profound it might sound and not actually feeling something that was true to me. I used to think ?Oh no, this will never be accepted?there?s not enough references to winter or blossoming violets and a lack of ?clever? words?. I almost felt ashamed, not good enough, not wise enough! But then I saw performance poetry! I discovered incorporating my drama training with my poetry gave me the confidence to express my words. Now I seem to get a bit aroused by the site of a pen and paper.

KM. Gosh! And are there particular individuals who have influenced your writing career?

TM. I?m very much a fan Irish author, Roddy Doyle. I love how everything he describes is jammed packed with comedy, poignancy, sentiment, and general Irish-ness. But that?s a far as it goes really.? I Enjoy a wide spectrum of authors and writers, but mainly to just have a gander at. What I find most influential is my surroundings, the people I see who walk around, unassumingly doing their business whilst I observe. The North is full of potential writing material.

KM. I know ? you can?t take three steps without tripping over inspiration can you?

to be continued?

ERIK NORLANDER Music Machine music review by - Progarchives

"This is the story of Johnny America, a new kind of music machine"

Just like David Bowie's classic The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, Erik Norlander's Music Machine is a concept album about an imaginary Rock Star. The storyline and the lyrics of this "Heavy Metal symphony" are sadly rather cheesy and full of cliches, but the music itself is mostly very good. The styles involved on this massive double album include traditional Heavy Metal in the vein of Deep Purple and Dio-era Black Sabbath, Classic Rock, Neo-Classical Metal, Progressive Metal, Power Metal, Hard Rock, Blues Rock and energetic keyboard-driven Symphonic Prog in the vein of Emerson Lake & Palmer.

The guests include Mark Boals (who also provided vocals for Yngwie Malmsteen), Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (of Blue Oyster Cult-fame), and drummer Vinny Appice (who played with Black Sabbath and Dio), and several others. The backgrounds of these musicians give you further clues of what you will find here. Ayreon's Metal Operas, that relied on a similar set of styles (and to which Norlander contributed), might also provide some hints. Though, thank goodness, Music Machine is not as sprawling and all-over-the-place as Ayreon's works, I am sure that it will appeal to many of the same fans. The vocalists and instrumentalists involved are all very good, but the foremost instrument are Norlander's brilliant keyboard playing.

There certainly are some great moments on this album but also a few weaker moments. With a running time of one hour and 46 minutes, you tend to get a little bit exhausted towards the end even if it is mostly very good music. Had the cheesy storyline been toned down somewhat and the running time been brought down to fit on a single disc, Music Machine could probably have attracted a higher rating from me. But as it stands it is just a good, and not a fantastic, follow-up to Into The Sunset. Both of these studio albums are definitely recommended, but the live album Stars Rain Down is more consistent and provides a nice cross-section of tracks from these two albums plus some of Norlander's best works from other sources.

This condition makes the sperm and egg cells is difficult to see that the process of fertilization does not occur.

Cervical cancer treatment with radiation therapy will result in your ovaries will be exposed by the beam of radiation that can damage the egg so that it can cause premature menopause. In addition, treatment with radiation will increase the risk of miscarriage and premature birth due to scar formation and reduced blood flow to the uterus.

Because chemotherapy also kills healthy cells, it is likely chemotherapy will damage the egg cells are stored in the ovaries so that there is a risk of miscarriage and premature menopause.
Another issue is that if too many cervical glands (required for the movement of sperm into the uterus) is removed, it can result in sperm becomes dry and become unable to fertilize an egg. But if only a few glands are removed it will be very good in keeping it fertile.
Some Options What You Can Do If You Want Have Children

? Do it early. If you are undergoing treatment of cervical pre-cancer, discuss with your doctor about treatment options. Will very likely you can still get pregnant and have children if treatment option only affects a small portion of the cervix. And this can be achieved only with early detection.

? Storing ovaries. Your doctor may be able to leave one ovary or both during a hysterectomy, so it can keep the egg cell and reduce symptoms of menopause. You can also take one egg to be fertilized by sperm and then ?borrowed womb? another woman to raise embryo.

? Consider Your Options. Some chemotherapy regimens may cause problems with fertility and of course depending on the type of drug, dosage and combination of them, so discuss your doctor about treatment options that you will live.

Development of Cervical Cancer Treatment

What Should You Do?

Under these conditions, the treatment of cancer and wants to have children sometimes become emotional conflicts that happen to us. But we also must be able to think that there is another option if you want to have a child, adopted child is one of the choices. Although children are not of our blood, its presence in the midst of the family will give a different atmosphere.

Insights on Venture Capital and Entrepreneurialism - Women & Co ...

From Fashion to Finance: Insights on Venture Capital and Entrepreneurialism

Blog Post by Linda Descano CFA???-??05/24/2012 @ 10:00AM

As I shared in my post Inspiring Insights from Phabulous Philly, I go back to my hometown every month or so for coffee and conversation with a group of enterprising women from the area. Each meet-up often has a few new faces -- one of whom was Karen Griffith Gryga (@karengg), an 18-year veteran of the venture capital industry.? Today, Karen is Executive Director of the Mid-Atlantic Angel Group, Co-Founder and CEO of FashInvest, and a venture partner with Innovation Capital.

Karen is frequently sought out by both professional and academic communities for her insights on the subjects of venture capital and entrepreneurialism, so I asked her what advice she would share with entrepreneurs looking to raise capital through "VC" investors. Below is an edited recap of what Karen shared:

1. Warm introductions are invaluable. So, align yourself with service providers -- accountants, lawyers and others -- who work with emerging growth companies and understand what that means. Tap into their experience to help you formulate your pitch and plan -- and then leverage their network. Along these same lines, surround yourself with an advisory board of mentors who are familiar with the VC fundraising process.
2. Remember that all VC capital isn't created equal. Do your homework and identify those venture funds whose profile matches your business.
3. Look for networking events where your "target" VC investors are. Be strategic in where you network and, of course, how you network once you are at the event.
4. VC fundraising is a numbers game. It takes time and effort. You will probably be talking to a lot of people before you find a fit with a VC portfolio. Learn from every interaction and keep honing your strategy, pitch and plan. Stay resilient, focused and positive.
5. Investors pay attention to a business' risk profile: how is the business going to grow and move forward and what are the risks and headwinds they are facing, whether operational or demand-driven. So it is important that you have a good grasp on your business as it is today, how it will evolve and how you are going to pivot in response to changing circumstances.

At the end of the day, Karen stressed, it's a matter of strength: the strength of your business opportunity, the strength of your pitch and ability to influence, and your inner strength: confidence.

First Fruits Salad for Shavuot ? Bay Area Bites | KQED Food

What's going on in your kitchen this weekend? Are you marinating ribs for a Memorial Day barbecue or making blintzes to celebrate Shavuot? This being the Bay Area, land of the multi-layered, self-created identity, you might very well be doing both. But since the world, both online and off, already bounds in recipes and opinions about ribs, let's talk about foods for Shavuot.

The go-to food, of course, is anything dairy-based. Most Jewish holidays have a one-word description of the foods associated with them. Hanukkah? Latkes. Purim? Hamantashen. Passover? Matzoh. Rosh Hashanah? Honey. With Shavuot, it's dairy. Whether or not you follow Jewish dietary laws forbidding the mixing of meat and milk at the same meal, it's traditional to make the celebratory meal of this late-spring holiday be a dairy-focused, meatless one. Blintzes, bagels with cream cheese and lox, pastries filled with sweetened farmer's cheese, cheese platters, cucumber-and-radish salads mixed with sour cream or yogurt, cheesecake: they all have a place on the table, and the milk used could be cow, sheep, or goat.

Shavuot is both a religious and a seasonal, agricultural holiday. Most importantly, it celebrates the giving of the holy books, or Torah, to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai, which is commemorated with all-night study sessions of Torah. But it's also a spring festival, celebrating the harvest of the season's first fruits, which were taken by farmers in joyous procession to the Temple as a tithe or offering.

This past week, I helped kosher catering company 12 Tribes feed a group of Jewish-studies scholars during a two-day academic conference. Company founder and rabbi Rebecca Joseph created a dessert salad which she dubbed First Fruits Salad in honor of the upcoming holiday. As she wrote to me later, "Besides being easy to make and using all Biblical ingredients [all the items in the salad are mentioned at least once in the Bible], I like that this salad also has an echo of Passover haroset. We count the days from Passover to Shavuot [in a daily ritual known as the Counting of the Omer] as a way of remembering the first fruits brought to the Temple--barley at the beginning of the period, fruits on Shavuot."

The recipe is very simple, and works equally well as a light, refreshing dessert (we served it with biscotti) or a tasty addition to a brunch table. It's delicious alongside a dairy-based dessert, or, for those who can't have dairy in their diets, with a delectable alternative like this tofu-based Parve at Sinai Cake, which resembles an Italian-style, ricotta-based cheesecake, rather than the denser, richer New York type.

Keeping in mind the significance of barley at this time, I might also serve a grain-and-vegetable salad, like Wheat Berry Sunshine Salad or Wheat Berry Salad with Green Onions and Feta, substituting cooked barley for the wheat berries. For best results, soak your barley in water to cover for several hours. Drain, then cook like rice, using a one-to-three ratio of barley to water (for example, one cup barley to three cups water). Bring water and barley to a simmer, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to one hour, until barley is tender-chewy.

But back to the First Fruits Salad. Making this salad is a snap. Peel, core, and cube several of your favorite tart eating apples; I would suggest Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. Toss with chopped dates, toasted slivered almonds, and currants. In a small bowl, stir together equal parts pomegranate molasses and honey. (Joseph uses Gipson's Golden blackberry honey.) Adjust the proportions to your taste, then drizzle the pomegranate dressing over the salad and toss to coat. The idea is to add a little flavor and tanginess; the fruits shouldn't be heavily coated. Enjoy!

California Court Distinguishes Delaware&#39;s VantagePoint Opinion

Typically, corporate bylaws provide that?officers serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors and any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Board of Directors.? This right of removal is consonant with the notion that an officer?s relationship with the corporation?is?the subject of corporate law.? However, another body of law can, and does, intrude.

If the officer is also an employee of the corporation, then his or her relationship to the corporation?qua employee is the subject of employment, not corporate, law.? In recognition of this fact, bylaws?investing the board with the right to remove officers?usually?acknowledge that the right of removal is??subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment?.

In Lidow v. Superior Court, Cal. Ct. Appeal Case No. B239042 (May 23, 2012), the California Court of Appeal addressed the question of whether a lawsuit for wrongful termination brought by an officer of a Delaware corporation?is governed by Delaware or California law.? The court began by noting that ?the removal of a CEO for any number of reasons . . . falls within the scope of a corporation?s internal governance, thus triggering the application of the internal affairs doctrine?.? The internal affairs doctrine is a conflict of laws principle that recognizes that courts should normally look to the state of incorporation for the law governing a corporation?s internal affairs (i.e., matters peculiar to the relationships among or between the corporation and its current officers, directors, and shareholders).? The court, however, concluded that removal of an officer in retaliation for complaints about possible illegal or harmful activity ?goes beyond corporate governance and touches upon broader public interest concerns that California has a vital interest in protecting?.? The court distinguished the Delaware Supreme Court?s decision in VantagePoint Venture Partners 1996 v. Examen, Inc., 871 A.2d 1108 (2005) on this basis.

Lidow?is a cautionary case for those who believe that the Delaware Supreme Court?s decision in VantagePoint?was the last word on the internal affairs doctrine. ?Not every affair is internal and the California courts will not apply the doctrine to every internal affair.
