A Foodies Road Trip Guide Around the Western Cape
There are so many reasons to travel to Cape Town and the Western Cape of South Africa. From the towering mountains to the icy yet captivatingly beautiful Atlantic Ocean to iconic architecture and vibrant culture. The Western Cape has a lot to offer, including an amazing smorgasbord of food heritages to experience.
Cape Town in the Western Cape is also considered to be one of the world's leading destinations for those wanting to sample cutting-edge cuisine that's steeped in rich history. Why not hire a car to experience all the culinary delights of one of South Africa's most beautiful provinces. Car hire in Cape Town will ensure you are able to travel to all these wonderful foodie destinations on your own steam and in your own time.
La Petite Ferme Restaurant – Franschhoek
From Cape Town – 1h 8min (81.4 km) via N1 and R45
The fact that Franschhoek is situated only an hour from Cape Town isn't the only reason to visit this iconic Western Cape town. One of the most celebrated reasons to visit Franschhoek is for its restaurants and this award-winning restaurant is a great place to start your trip to one of the Western Cape's most picturesque and tranquil towns.
The Hussar Grill – Stellenbosch
From Cape Town – 44min (50.5 km) via N2 and R310
The Hussar Grill has a long-standing history of quality food of impeccable standards. If you are a meat-lover then Hussar should be on your list. Since 1964 it has provided the famous wine-producing town with excellent food.
Olympia Café – Kalk Bay
From Cape Town – 33min (30.1 km) via M3
This iconic Kalk Bay establishment has become a regular for locals and visitors alike. For years it has provided the Southern Peninsula region with quintessential pastries and bistro-style food. They pride themselves in hiring interesting staff members and are also dog friendly. Something to consider is that they don't take reservations so you may have to wait for a table.
Cape Town CBD, Addis in Cape Town
This is definitive Ethiopian dining experience in Cape Town's bustling city centre. It prides itself in everything that is Ethiopian; down to the last decorative ornaments on the tables. This is the authentic experience you have been looking for, short of visiting Ethiopia.
Bientang's Cave Restaurant – Hermanus
From Cape Town 1h 36min (121 km) via N2 fastest route, the usual traffic
If visiting a restaurant which has literally been carved into an old cave isn't reason enough to venture to this iconic destination then the fact that it's within direct view of one of Africa's best whale sanctuaries, should be. Hermanus is one of the most picturesque towns in the whole the Western Cape for various reasons. This restaurant will help you reconnect with nature and is also a great place to bond and unwind with the whole family.

Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali polymath who
reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali, he became
the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in
Literature in 1913.
One such story was by Salil Shetty, Indian-born human rights activist and Secretary General of Amnesty International. The poem he chose was "Let My Country Awake" by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), accompanied by a particularly poignant introduction.
Salil Shetty describes the poem as "a powerful call to action and a declaration of belief in achievable change". Perhaps most moving, however, is his statement that the final phrase, "let my country awake", could quite easily be replaced with, "let the world awake".
To Salil Shetty, the poem is "about universal aspirations", and I think we could all do well to read it with our own aspirations and that of wider society in mind. When considering how we might act in the interests of others, but also improve ourselves, this poem is a great source of inspiration and motivation.
"Let My Country Awake"
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
The original Bengali language poem, "Chitto jetha bhayashunyo", was published in 1910 and included in the collection Gitanjali by Tagore.

The ability to love, the ability to see love, the ability to return love—that's beauty. Nothing more beautiful than love. Love. Pure love. True love. Unconditional love.
If you could meet one person, alive or dead, what would you ask him/her?
Michael Jackson. And I would ask him did he ever reach a place of utter and complete happiness before he left. Yeah, I would want to know that, if only that.
Have you ever felt like an outcast, if so, why?
I was born an outcast. I've always felt different than everyone for as long as I remember. I believe everyone has a gift that they're given that's both a blessing and a curse. I've never dreamed small. It was almost as if I didn't live in the same world as everyone else. I was always far, far away, dreaming of things bigger than big, greater than great, the unthinkable. Nothing was ever impossible in my mind and it confused me when I met people who didn't think the same way I did. I've always been a strong believer in that if you want something enough, one way or another, you'll get it. I mean, if you really think about it, it doesn't make sense to shoot for the sky when you can shoot for the moon.
What is your favorite quote?
Well, I don't have favorites with anything. But I do live by this:
"Before you judge me, try hard to love me." It says so much in so little words. I think it is fair to say that this does not need justification.
What is your favorite compliment that you've ever been given?
Like I said, I don't have favorites, but if you insist…
One time someone simply told me, "Amber, you inspire me." Nothing has ever meant more to me than that because when I think about some of the strong, powerful, legendary people who have inspired me I am flabbergasted to think that I could have had even a slice of the effect that they had on me to someone else. The fact that I could inspire someone is the most inspiring of all.
Another I love is, "Amber, you're not a character. You're a play." Moxie is important.
What's your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
What spare time? My mind, my creative side never lets me have spare time! I attempt to read books and read one line and get so incredibly inspired and run to my keyboard and start typing and writing and creating and it never ends. I'm the kind of person that when I get ideas, I can't just let them sit and become fantasies. Some people can, and they are fine with that. Cool, but not me. I have to do it and generally the longer I wait, the deeper the itch gets or even worse, I lose the idea and wish that I had done something about it when I had the chance. Effectively, I've learned to deal with my compulsions—I give in to them!
What would a ideal Sunday consist of for you?
Well, let's see. First of all, there's really no ideal for me because I'm the kind who gets nauseas at monotony. I would love for every Sunday to be different. I'm also the kind of person who's all in or all out. That's means that I either want a day full of running a myriad of miscellaneous errands, here and there, back and forth, the whole nine. Or a perfect Sunday could be sleeping in insanely late and sitting at my computer desk and writing all day. Whichever it is, I like days that are full of inspiration and lessons. It's a contradiction, though because I'm an artist with a very creative mind and with all that inspiration comes one thing: insomnia!
What's something you wish you had more time to do?
Dance around the house in a romper and four-and half-inch heels to Michael, Beyoncé and Usher for hours non-stop. Yes, I am guilty of doing this and it is one of my favorite things to do. Nothing like popping your booty, swinging your hips and whipping your hair 'til it sweats out to Usher. Beyoncé. Michael. Nothing.
Also, driving. I love driving, hate traffic. Driving with the top down, bumping to the music so loud that the speakers bleed, all alone, nowhere to go—that's sweeter than honey in a jar.

CAPITAL ASSET PRICES: A THEORY OF MARKET EQUILIBRIUM UNDER CONDITIONS OF RISK* WILLIAM F. SHARPEt I. INTRODUCTION
ONE OF THE PROBLEMSwhich has plagued those attempting to predict the
behavior of capital markets is the absence of a body of positive microeconomic theory dealing with conditions of risk. Although many useful insights can be obtained from the traditional models of investment under conditions of certainty, the pervasive influence of risk in financial transactions has forced those working in this area to adopt models of price behavior which are little more than assertions. A typical classroom explanation of the determination of capital asset prices, for example, usually begins with a careful and relatively rigorous description of the process through which individual preferences and physical relationships interact to determine an equilibriumpure interest rate. This is generally followed by the assertion that somehow a market risk-premium is also determined,with the prices of assets adjusting accordingly to account for differencesin their risk. A useful representation of the view of the capital market implied in such discussions is illustrated in Figure 1. In equilibrium, capital asset prices have adjusted so that the investor, if he follows rational procedures (primarily diversification), is able to attain any desired point along a capital market line.' He may obtain a higher expected rate of return on his holdings only by incurring additional risk. In effect, the market presents him with two prices: the price of time, or the pure interest rate (shown by the intersection of the line with the horizontal axis) and the price of risk, the additional expected return per unit of risk borne (the reciprocal of the slope of the line). * A great many people provided comments on early versions of this paper which led to major improvementsin the exposition. In addition to the referees, who were most helpful, the author wishes to express his appreciation to Dr. Harry Markowitz of the RAND Corporation,Professor Jack Hirshleifer of the University of California at Los Angeles, and to Professors Yoram Barzel, George Brabb, Bruce Johnson, Walter Oi and R. Haney Scott of the University of Washington. t AssociateProfessorof Operations Research,Universityof Washington. 1. Althoughsome discussionsare also consistentwith a non-linear (but monotonic) curve.
The Journalof Finance
At present there is no theory describing the manner in which the price of risk results from the basic influences of investor preferences, the physical attributes of capital assets, etc. Moreover, lacking such a theory, it is difficult to give any real meaning to the relationship between the price of a single asset and its risk. Through diversification, some of the risk inherent in an asset can be avoided so that its total risk is obviously not the...

Well then, I was wondering why I was so slow and then I realize I'm not using the S1.
I'm an idiot.
Well then, I was wondering why I was so slow and then I realize I'm not using the S1.
I'm an idiot.
anyone else still wanting to try this?
i'm a bit too curious in what @ramthecowy has in mind for the next round.
Oh yeah, gimme a bit, I'll actually post my vid this time.
There you go, the time was :56.503
So I just picked up the game yesterday and set this lap time with my G27 and shifter
It's poor, but I can't beat it for the life of me
The fastest time I have been able to get so far was a 56.834, so I still have room for improvement, but I doubt I will get under 56.500.
Next round!
Enter your times in here:
Fuck you, I'll have to get the wheel out for this
Or I could just POWAAAAAAslide around every corner.
Bringing the laptime sheet back, added the link to the round brief. You'll need to go to sheet 9 in the workbook.
not even tire blanket? well
this should be good fun to record my fails
Btw you had stability ctrl on in the summary but off in the settings. Keep it off for maximum hardcore?
Yeah sure, let's do that. Not sure what's going on in AssCo there.
This is going to be difficult.
Tamburello and Villeneuve both feature high speed entry, with heavy braking around tightening corners with sudden direction change, which is precisely the kind of corner RR cars hate the most. Rivazza is similar except even worse it's a fairly steep downhill. I predict a lot of leaving the track ass first
Also I haven't even managed to get the Yellowbird around Nordscleife yet without stuffing it into the Armco. Vallelunga was hard enough as is.
30 minutes.
at least 30 tries
i got…2 clean lap
2:08. i'm highly sure 1:49 is achievable
This is fucking impossible
Honestly think one would be doing pretty well if they could get underneath 2 minutes. On mouse I'm getting 2:02s, but that's with a looooooot of unintentional sideways and general shenanigans.
Hey @ramthecowy are we allowed to change turbo settings in the middle of the lap? Like for the straights I can just whack it all the way up to 100% and in the corners put it back down to 70%?
Just for the main long straight I think you could.
My practice runs on 100% turbo, 50% stability and full ABS (not factory)… watch me fail when I bring it back to ABS factory, just watch me…
Isn't ABS factory just no abs? When I hit the brakes they just lock up like a motherfucker
I don't think it came with ABS, no. ABS was certainly around but if you consider the fact that RUF sandbagged the horsepower figures, they don't seem like people who would bother with ABS either
Ok so just gave it a shot with the G27, zero driving aids whatsoever. Getting mid 2:03s. Goddamn this is hard, on one hand better throttle control = not automatically powersliding ass first off the track. On the other no ABS = have to brake much much earlier. Tyres are warmest after 3 laps but start wearing after 4, so lap 4 is the hot lap.
Will I find the settings that allow me to attack the heavy braking corners faster, and will I be able to break 2 minutes without driving aids? That's the mission!
Ffs, I thought it would be a fun struggle, but after 13 laps of struggling, got this time with my wheel (T300 RS):
I'm done, I'm satisfied Please no more.
It's a lot of fun trying to get a 4-wheel drift going, but battling without ABS and with turbo lag sure is a challenge, and sure is tiring.

The New York Post has broken an unbelievable story. A copy of Robert Kennedy Jr.'s diary was leaked to their offices. Inside is an incredibly detailed accounting of Kennedy's infidelities, along with a scorecard numbered from 1-10 next to each woman's name. A "10" would indicate he "went all the way" with the woman. One day, he lists three women, with a two, a three and a 10 next to each respective name. Throughout the diary, he speaks candidly of battling with "lust demons" and welcomes time he spent in jail because there, he was safe from his urges.
During his time in jail, he notes his relief at the lack of temptation, and writes "I'm so content here. I have to say it. There's no women. I'm happy! Everybody here seems happy. It's not misogyny. It's the opposite! I love them too much." The diary details romps with 37 women, and 16 of them have a 10 next to their name.
A reporter from the New York Post held an interview with Kennedy on Friday, in which Kennedy denied that the diary was his. However, the Post said it has examined the diary and that Mary Richardson Kennedy, Kennedy's late wife, had previously discovered it inside her home. Mary Richardson Kennedy, in despair over Kennedy's affairs and a messy divorce, hanged herself at home in Bedford, NY last year. She had been suffering from depression and alcoholism, a fact mentioned only very briefly in the diary.
Mary Richardson Kennedy had revealed to a friend that her husband's constant cheating was one of the major issues that led to the downfall of the marriage. In the diary, Kennedy says he was seduced by all of the women. He refers to this as being "mugged" by them. On some days, he scrawled the word "victory" in the margins to indicate he resisted being "mugged."
Peppered throughout the diary, there are mentions of God and Kennedy's own feelings of guilt over his behavior. While he expresses love for his wife in some sections, he seems oblivious to her suffering, and mentions her problems rarely, instead referring to her as "cheerful" and "wonderful."
He cites God as having occasionally given him the strength to resist being led into temptation, writing, "I narrowly escaped being mugged by a double team of [two women]. It was tempting but I prayed and God gave me the strength to say no."
Kennedy joins a long line of family philanderers. JFK was a well-known cheater, and his wife Jacqueline, may have known all about it. A book entitled These Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie claims that Marilyn Monroe called Jacqueline Kennedy and revealed everything about JFK's abundant extramarital dalliances. Other historians, too, have said that Jackie knew about her husband's philandering ways but chose to accept her lot in life.
The Kennedy patriarch, Joe Kennedy, was rumored to have had affairs with Gloria Swanson, numerous other screen starlets, and his secretaries. The sex scandals amongst all of the other Kennedys are too numerous to count.
This new diary, uncovered by the New York Post, will certainly give historians a new wellspring of information to dissect when it comes to tallying the Kennedy penchant for extramarital adventures.

Hello everyone.
This week our challenge was to think about the stationery items I cannot live without. Now Emma-Louise didn't give us a specific number, so I picked ten items. I am not counting my travelers notebook in this list though.
1 – Paper. This is an obvious one, but I would need a lot of high quality dot grid paper. I love the paper from Dot Grid Co.
2 – A ruler, as I draw out of my own inserts so wonky lines for me! I use a folding ruler from Muji.
3 – A pen. My pen of choice is my Lamy rose gold LX, with diamine shimmer ink.
4 – Washi tape. Its amazing how much a bit of washi can jazz up a page, so I would make sure I had a stash to take with me. I am loving the Michaels washi tape I managed to get hold of.
5 – Scissors. High quality scissors are a must. I got an amazing pair of rose gold scissors from eBay.
6 – Stickers. I love stickers on my weekly spread and I would hate a bare spread. I love stickers from EllieBethDesignsUK and ABeautifulPlan
7 – Some coloured pencils for giving a page a touch of colour. I have Scribblicous pens from The Works which I love using.
8 – My corner rounder. I use this item all the time and I would hate if I didn't have it to hand. I picked up an XCut one from Amazon.
9 – A glue runner. Another must have item, ideal for securing items or adding embellishments. My favourite Glue runner is by Stick It.
10 – Brush Pens. I adore my TomBow Brush Pens as I am trying to learn how to do brush lettering and these are definitely my pens of choice.
What are your must have supplies? Let me know if you think I am missing anything essential from my list.
Love Louise

Do you have sensitive skin? Well, I do! I'm having a hard time choosing the right soap for me. I tried a lot of them, different brands but still no use. It only gives me allergies! I guess that's how my skin reacts if it didn't like the soaps I used. So if you have sensitive skin like mine, what's your soap? Any suggestions? Like brand or name of the soap? Any tips? I feel like crying right now! I, my body, my skin feel so irritated! Grr! 🙁

2015.08.25 Ken Whitman's "Mistake" Made Whole by a Stranger
"Finally got my KODT 20 Years Cover Book!! Huzzah!! But not the way I had expected. I've been waiting for my copy of the book since it was first reported (erroneously I take it) that they were all shipped in back May.
Well, I was at Wizard World this past weekend and spotted a girl wearing a KODT Sara shirt. I struck up a conversation with her and the subject of KODTLAS came up. I was shocked when she pulled out not one but TWO copies of the Covers book. Apparently she brought them thinking you and Barb would be there Jolly, and she was hoping to get them signed.
When I asked her if I could flip through one of them (what a beautiful book) I lamented the fact I had yet to receive my copy from d20 Entertainment.
You'll never believe what this stranger did. She HANDED me the book and said, "Now you've got one."
Apparently d20 Entertainment shipped her two by mistake. What do you think of that? This weekend I am buying her a subscription to show my gratitude from your website. If I send you a picture of her and I with our books do you think she could run it in KODT? I was floored at her generosity."
This isn't the 1st time I've heard reports of Ken Whitman shipping somebody out two of the KoDT 20 Years of Covers book "by mistake". If anything I'd suspect that the benefactor of this story, like my associates before, ordered a KenzerCo hardcover rule book for $60 and instead of getting the book they ordered Ken Whitman utilized his "fuzzy math" and figured if they wanted a $60 book, they should be "overjoyed" at getting a $100 book instead. The fact that most people would order books they wanted and not need a 2nd of one of them isn't much a factor I'd guess.
We already know from the KoDT:LAS Kickstarter comments (July 19th) that Ken Whitman never gave KenzerCo the names of book buyer or the money for those books, so KenzerCo could never honor those sales.
"all the money from the kickstarter went to Ken Whitman - he was supposed to peel off the money for any Kenzer product he had offered for rewards (including KODT subs) and forward that money to us (along with the subscription info) so we could then process it. Sadly that apparently never happened."
Instead of paying KenzerCo....well, anything, Ken Whitman decided it was better to pay out $34 plus shipping and pocket the rest of the $160. I highly doubt there was a "mistake" made here....this was intentional. It is "mistakes" like this, coupled with the extra "off the books" printings and the obviously piecemeal printing orders that cause me to believe that once the backers & buyers of the 20 Years of Covers finally get their books, there are going to be a LOT MORE than 250 copies in circulation.
At least this particular tale of Ken Whitman skullduggery ends on a positive note. If anything this just re-affirms my basic belief that most people are good and that we need to look out for each other, because there are a lot of us in this not-quite-exclusive club.

DescriptionOn the cusp of a breakthrough, Ministry funding from the National Board falls through for an unfashionable archaeological dig to the very origins of the Kharuen city-state. You play the project leader, illegally visiting the excavation site one last time under cover of darkness, using field tools of the future (palmcorder, wrist-lamps, nubblex gloves) to investigate the Late Arcanic catacombs of the philosopher-priest hierophant mystery cultists of the last dynasty, all the while reflecting on their relevance to the present day and your own role in it.
Using deceptively simple multiple-choice selections and the occasional invocation of an inventory item, this game acts as a guided tour by a certified expert, your narrating protagonist, into the remains of a fictitious civilization, translating glyphs and interpreting the values and fundamental doctrines of people long dead through the esoteric rituals of Gahbra and Ykrasia depicted in their frescoes and statuary. The exploration is external but parallel internal investigation follows suit; numerous different endings result depending on your studies, values and cleverness in perceiving the workings of antique machinery, reflecting on the anti-historical politics of the day and informing what is only suggested -- where the protagonist's story proceeds following the completion of the game.

Rumors are rife in the tinsel town that there will be no audio launch event for Rajinikanth's Kabali, which is all gearing for worldwide release in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malay on July 1st.
However, sources close to the Kabali team confirm that the team is planning to conduct a grand event on June 12th as announced earlier. "Only the venue is not confirmed yet. The audio may be launched in the premises of Sathyam Cinemas like Rajinikanth's Lingaa," says a source.
Directed by Ranjith, Kabali features Rajinikanth as an ageing don and he will also be sporting the look of a 32-year-old gangster. The movie also has Radhika Apte, Dhansika, Dinesh and Kalaiarasan in important roles. The music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan.

Today, I really needed Ralphie.
The past week has been a tough one. I learned on Sunday that I had been rejected from my final fellowship opportunity, resulting in my postdoc virtually disappearing before my eyes. Reading over the reviewers' comments was difficult, because I also learned that my letters of support were mixed. Something completely unexpected and surprising, both to myself as well as both my graduate advisor and my potential postdoc advisor. On top of this, Grey learned that his postdoc will be officially ending as of July, resulting in even more uncertainty for the future. All while he's away at a conference (on a good note, his talk went incredibly well with many people being very excited about his work). Add in trying to help troubled students, preparing my class for their last midterm and dealing with a teaching assistant who is more interesting in texting/playing on his computer instead of doing his job and you have the perfect setup for a meltdown.
So when I started getting zaps of pain focused in the vaginal area, cloudy urine, cramping when walking across campus and not feeling so great, it didn't take long for me to speculate the worst.
Thankfully, my new care providers didn't minimize my feelings of anxiety. Instead, they asked clarifying questions and then immediately scheduled an appointment to see me ASAP.
This morning, I made my way into the clinic for my first solo doctor's visit in about 3 years. Since starting this journey, I noticed a trend that any doctor's appointment I have alone ends badly, either with treatment being canceled, poor interactions with physicians or news of miscarriage. Hence I was nervous. So nervous that I barely slept last night. I broke down at 4 am to text Grey, allowing the tears to flow for the first time in a long time and was grateful that instead of trying to be the strong one, he empathized with me and confessed that he was scared too.
The appointment was a fast one, with all parties involved intent on working through their checklist to quickly identify any problems that may exist. After checking me in and getting vitals, they got a urine sample to rule out a UTI, then immediately followed with an ultrasound to check on the Beats. Beat B danced away while we discovered that Beat A had the hiccups. Both heartbeats were strong. Following this, they took some vaginal swabs to check for yeast and bacteria. Finally they measured my cervix, with all of us breathing a sigh of relief to find that it was low and long, at 3.7 cm.
The conclusion from today, the zaps and twinges are probably a combination of round ligament pain, uterine expansion and me being overwhelmed. We have our appointment scheduled for next week still as a follow-up, but the team was glad that I called them to come in to rule out something more urgent.
All I wanted to do after the appointment was curl up in someone's lap. To lay in a fetal position and simply be held. So you can imagine my response when I walked into my office and saw Ralphie this morning. Immediately I stripped myself of my bags and coat and wrapped my arms around her. It wasn't long before we were both curled up on the floor of my office with my head buried in her body. I'm sure this was quite a sight for all who passed, but in that moment I didn't care.
I'm calmer now, though the tears still come easily. Ralphie is currently off with her mom completing some data analysis. Just knowing she's here today helps. Knowing that there's a friend who doesn't need me to explain why I'm panicked and is more than happy to curl up with a hormonal pregnant infertile.

Thank goodness for a great medical team and for a furry shoulder to cry on.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad that all is well with the Beats, but I'm sorry that you and Grey are facing so much uncertainty with your careers. I hope that particular pressure gets eased very soon. Thinking of you.
So happy that everyone is safe and sound. I know that fear will always be with you in a sense. The office dog, I love the office dog! We had one in the last office I worked out. She belonged to owner and took all her commands in French. I would keep doggie treats in my desk when we came to visit, LOL>ReplyDelete

I am so relieved that everything is okay with the babies and that you have Ralphie to lean on! I'm sorry that things are so up in the air with the future. My thoughts are with you!!ReplyDelete
Glad to read that you and the babies are doing well. Hope that the anxiety can be resolved and that you find a way to continue on with your postdoc work.ReplyDelete
Dogs are seriously the best. I love coming home to my dogs as it is the best time of the day when their tails are thumping against the wall because they are so excited to see me. They make everything better. I'm jealous that you have an office dog- although I may not get anything done if I had an office dog.ReplyDelete
Glad that everything is going okay with the beats. I'm so sorry to hear about your fellowship opportunities. :-(
Thinking of you, as a fellow post-doc so hard to keep the faith that something good is going to come soon! I hate this career stage... so glad to hear that your beats are doing so well though, with twins I feel so uncertain at all times but its comforting to know they're still in there even when everything else feels so up in the air!ReplyDelete
So glad to hear that you and the babies are okay! I will be sending lots of thoughts your way these next couple months as your life takes a different turn. I am so sorry to hear about the fellowship opportunities. :(ReplyDelete
Dogs are amazing. Life savers, really. My co worker had round ligement pain around, it seemed pretty painful for her for a little bit. Hope you feel better soon!ReplyDelete
First, that dog is making my heart melt. Give him a pat from the cat lady the next time you see him, please!ReplyDelete
I am glad you got checked out and so glad that you have broken the cycle of solo doctor appointments. I, too, have the same worry. I actually had a lot of the same discomforts early in pregnancy. We ruled out UTI but I still have been drinking 4 ounces of straight cranberry juice a night and I swear the painful zaps are gone and I pee with greater ease (does that make sense? It makes sense to me, but the rest of the world might be all "Um, Belle, that's straight crazy talk"). The unsweetened cranberry juice is a chore to get down. I recommend mixing with a lot of water or with a can of sparkling Orange La Croix.
And now for the gloomy postdoc news - I only wish I didn't know how you felt. I know how annoying it is to hear that everything will work out when you are in the midst of career meltdown, so instead I'll say that I know you and Grey will find a way to make it work. I know that come hell or high water the Beats will be have an amazing home filled with love and smarts and, really, what more could they ask for? I'm here if you need anything or need to vent about the situation. xoxo
Oh, Cristy. I wish I could have been there to support you, but I'm here now to give you a virtual hug.ReplyDelete
Sorry about the fellowship news. And phooey on that TA! I am so glad that your doctor's appointment turned out the way it did. Phew!
Thanks for taking care of our girl, Ralphie.
Shoot, I'm so sorry to hear about the fellowship rejection. A bunch of my friends who've just gotten their PhDs are really struggling to find work -- I can't imagine the stress of that on TOP of impending twins. But somehow, you'll pull through. There's always a way. And you still have some time. As to the vaginal zaps -- I've totally been having those too! They're so weird, and it's annoying because I can't quite isolate them. At least it seems like it's probably nothing to be concerned about... I'm thinking dehydration may be the culprit, but maybe that's silly.ReplyDelete
It's so amazing that animals know when we need this kind of comfort and curl up with us. I'm really glad you had Ralphie since Grey was out of town. Next best thing, I say. Sorry you had to go through this on top of all the career uncertainty, it definitely is added stress you don't need right now.ReplyDelete
So glad everything's all right. And that you had a friend waiting for you in your office.ReplyDelete
That is quite a scare. I'm glad everybody is okay (a slight case of the hiccups aside!) and that Ralphie was there for you when you needed a cuddly friend.ReplyDelete
Oh Cristy, this whole week sounds like a doozy. I am so glad that everything with the babes turned out ok and that they're still rocking and rolling in there. And with all the work crap on top of that? So frustrating and scary.ReplyDelete
One thing I know for sure - we are warriors and when stuff like this is thrown our way, we are experts at taking crappy situations and making the best of them. I know that you will find the strength to move through all of this and that there will be a very happy ending for you and Grey.
Ralphie is adorable!!!!
OH, what a week! No wonder you're overwhelmed. And the scare on top of it! I love my dogs. They are my first born children. They have seen me through some of the worst days of my life. No matter what I can snuggle up to them and feel a little better. They are my saving grace on many an occasion. I'm so glad on this day of all days Ralphie was there for you. Sending all the hugs I can and hoping your recheck goes just as smoothly and quickly with a positive outcome next week!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad it wasn't anything serious, but that doesn't make it any less scary!! Ralphie is adorable, and I'm glad he was there to comfort you!ReplyDelete
That must have been a very scary week, and I'm so glad that you had caring doctors and Ralphie to help you through. I'm also so glad everything looks great with the Beats!ReplyDelete
As to the work stuff, my husband and I are in a similarly precarious position with academic appointments (or any work, really) at the moment. This past week I had a rejection letter for a position for which I had *great* connections, and they pile up, and they wear you down at times when worrying about family building are stressful and scary enough. All I can say is that I understand, and you're not alone, and tell you what I always tell my husband: we've been through much worse and we'll find a way to make it work come what may. You are Grey are obviously survivors too, and those babies of yours will have more than their share of love. Sending many hopeful wishes your way for better luck to find you soon!
Isn't it time for these scares to no longer happen???? You have already gone through so much, but I guess because of that it makes us extra sensitive to the possibility something may be wrong. I have to admit, my pup Sage, is the only thing that has gotten me through some really tough times. Dogs have that sixth sense and just seem to know how much we need them and it is oh so comforting. Glad Ralphie was able to do that for you, nothing like the love of a dog.ReplyDelete
Oh, look at that face. She is adorable and I'm glad she is in your office, spreading some calm and comfort in the way only animals can. So sorry for the scare, but it's really good to hear that they took you in and checked everything out and that all is looking good. One day at a time. Sending hugs.ReplyDelete
So sorry for the rejection. That must feel so tough and be so frustrating. I'm also so sorry that this scare happened around the same time. I really see why you needed Ralphie. I'm so glad she was there for you.ReplyDelete
Glad all was/is well, and that you had a furry friend close by to offer comfort!ReplyDelete

LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwire - April 5, 2012) - It's a tough time to be at the top. On the markets and in the media, scrutiny of company leadership has rarely been as intense as at present. Placing CEOs under the microscope in this manner has revealed not only the weakness of some but the strength of others.
In its evaluation of global businesses, European CEO has assessed the preeminent performers across a range of industries, and noted for which of them success has depended upon the decisions made by those at the top, and how they motivated their workforce. The CEO of the Year Awards 2012 provides recognition for these leading business figures.
The awards are a tribute to the leaders who have navigated their companies through the worst economic downturn in living memory while continuing to push for profit. Whether in growth industries or those facing decline, our CEOs have used initiative, negotiation and intrinsic business sense to ensure their company achieves results. For this European CEO believes them worthy of the magazine's recognition.
The CEO of the Year Awards are celebrated in a special feature in the April-May edition of European CEO magazine, available in retailers now.
