The Secret History of World War II: Spies, Code Breakers & Covert Operations
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Stephen G. Hyslop, Neil Kagan
Narrated By: Andrew Reilly
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Date: October 2016
Duration: 11 hours 11 minutes
From spy missions to code breaking, this account of the covert operations of World War II takes listeners behind the battle lines and deep into the undercover war effort that changed the course of history.
From the authors who created Eyewitness to World War II and numerous other bestselling reference books, this is the shocking story behind the covert activity that shaped the outcome of one of the world's greatest conflicts-and the destiny of millions of people. National Geographic's landmark book illuminates World War II as never before by taking you inside the secret lives of spies and spymasters; secret agents and secret armies; Enigma machines and code breakers; psychological warfare and black propaganda; secret weapons and secret battle strategies.
Seven narrative chapters reveal the truth behind the lies and deception that shaped the "secret war." Renowned historian and top-selling author Stephen Hyslop and Neil Kagan reveal this little-known side of the war in captivating detail, weaving in extraordinary eyewitness accounts and information only recently declassified.

The BAD Review
9 comments:
My books receive a liberal sprinkling of five stars down to one star, although I always doubt the authenticity of a one star review of anyone's book -- usually those who give one stars are trolls who delight in bringing down the book's "score" My editor at Kensington Publishing Group advised me to not read my reviews on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. "The only review that matters to you is the one from your editor -- the one where he or she wants to sign you to another two book contract."ReplyDelete
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.ReplyDelete
Well, at least the person bought the book (or at least you can pretend that they did). I wouldn't mind a bad review (I suppose) if it came with cash payment.ReplyDelete
Javier, a bad review is just part of the business. If you look at John Grisham's books, you will see he gets a lot of one stars. The only reason a bad review bothers you is because you take what you do seriously. Your analysis is right on the money. Just keep your head down and keep writing. We are all in this together. Regards, Stephen WoodfinReplyDelete
Here is the situation for being a writer. We write the best we can. Not every reader likes the novel or the genre. Not every book reviewer will think our well-chosen words are wonderful, and some reviewers get a perverted sense of pleasure out of criticizing other people's work. Forget a bad review. Move on. Don't worry about it. I still believe that readers believe in good books more than they do bad reviews.ReplyDelete
I wrestled with making this blog, but now I'm glad I put it out there because I know that if there's another author who's gotten a bad review, your words and advice will help them out as much as they've helped me. Thank you, gentlemen. Should you ever need anything from me, just say the word.ReplyDelete
Don't you heed any of those words from this little tart. Pretentious writing? All fiction is a pretense, that's why it's fiction. And Amazon kindly declares the length of each book. This woman must be a magazine reader, short and simplistic writing, so she can draw some understanding.ReplyDelete
Sadly, you will have those who turn their nose up at your novel and I don't have to cover anything, for you are far ahead of me in your understanding. Way to handle it, Javier!
I'll be the first to admit The Gaze is not for everyone, buy everyone would inevitably draw something from reading it. Believe in your voice, believe in your stories, and take to heart the words of these wonderful people who also write. Reak book readers are smart individuals who'll recognize your novel for what it it, a five star body of work.
You know what will make you feel better? Go to IMDB and think of your very favorite movie of all time. Think of a movie that's SO good, you can't possibly comprehend how anybody cannot like it. If it's a movie that everybody you know thinks is great too - even better.ReplyDelete
Now, pull up the reviews and sort by "hated it" and read the bad reviews. My point is, no matter how good a piece of art is - movie, music, TV, book - there will always be somebody out there that doesn't like it. It'll make you feel better knowing that even *insert movie title here* gets bad reviews.
You're totally right, Robert. I draw immense comfort out of reviews done by people who know what they're doing. We'll have our bad ones, can't please everyone. All we can do is keep writing the next novel.ReplyDelete

Privately owned woodland
The woodland in question is alongside housing and has been recently bought by a private individual who is telling all that it is his land and he will do as he wishes with it.
So far he has erected a fence around the wood with 2 strands of barbed wire around the top which we feel may be dangerous as it is also next to public land and footpath which is used by children as a play area, also he has made a track through the woods and is now using this as a motorbike, quad bike track and this in places runs within just a few metres of several houses . There is no planning permission or application in place for this and we would like to know legalities of what has been done so far.
Hope to hear from you soon Alex

Teen Mental Health Crisis
Teen Mental Health Crisis
Look to the cause but attend the symptoms as necessary.
Relational breakdown is both intra and external to a sense of self.
Mental-emotional dis-ease or conflicted-ness leads to external searching for solutions that support the capacity to mask or cope and so 'adapt' to a generally insane or loveless society.
"Open dialogue" (youtube or websearch) is a very fruitful response to a need arising through mental-emotional difficulties. Please look there long enough to grasp the core principles embodied there.
The attempt to control symptoms is part of the mindset of denial which operates through mutually agreed definitions by which we all hide in or hide from the 'unconscious' as denied feelings and fears. Of course if fear of healing is greater than willingness to heal - a compromise approach is needed in which to grow willingness through awakening self-responsibility where there is willingness to recognize and utilize support for a better outcome.
Because we do not have a wisdom culture - we have to grow it within the baits and triggers of a denial culture.
When Life feels denied - it sickens in heartbreak, fear of pain, and rage in powerlessness - and etc. Coercion is no basis from which to live - but control can be shifted to limit hate and harm - which of course includes self-destructive lifestyle choices. A true sense of worth is not imposed but extended in recognition - in truly compassionate listening and acceptance for that you are as you are - without judgement of condescension in 'sympathy' by which to distance and dissociate.
Mental health is always part of social control - and in our time, state control. And in our time... narrative or reality control. The book of 'disorders' is a market capture for medical restraint and suppression. The corporate cartel captured its own regulators and feeds upon the lives of others as if it was a god receiving sacrifice - which many are conditioned to willingly offer as part of a protection racket.
Witnessing joy in life - really - and an honourable open willingness for resolving difficult issues - speaks directly to the young as NOT bullshitting - and something WORTH being part of. Now it generally happens that a fullness and willingness for Life does not align with eating crap, exposing ourselves to toxic influence and participating in worthlessness. And I applaud the movement for natural approaches to health - in terms of joy in life - or a truly felt presence of life in which to share - and not just in terms of a war on or fear of symptoms.
A negatively or fear and lack defined sense of self will draw negative outcomes - even from positive experiences. We cannot make another drink of Life's embrace - but we can cultivate conditions in which such a potential can be more readily recognized. Not least of these is relinquishment of the blame-hate culture - which is so pervasive in our mental-verbal currency as to be 'normal'.
Again imposed 'correctness' invites counter reaction and learning failure - so it is teaching by doing rather than teaching different from what we do - which is conflicted and dis-eased mind that then dumps upon the body, on others and upon our world.
The Dump of guilted hate fear rage powerlessness and heartbreak is the 'baggage' running undercurrent to our surface rationalisations - and is breaking out everywhere - so as to ramp up the control mentality to ever increasing destructive insanity.
While the evils of the day thereof require attention so as to be put behind us rather than held up as a lens through which to see darkly, the core resolution is the willingness to accept love - as we are. There is no other point than self-acceptance from which to grow a healing perspective.

Well I don't know if you remember my 'giveaway' I was holding, where the prize would be me writing a little feature on a follower of mine! Well anyway, the winner is... Wilbs of a nut in a me shell!
Another thing I really enjoy about a nut in a me shell is that unlike myself, her blog writing is not a messy mess of ramblings like my own, but she is actually a really good writer and it comes out in every post she publishes. This is probably because she's a university creative writing major, or maybe she's just naturally talented.
Wilbs sometimes uses two tea bags, sometimes washes her face with bodywash and has a darling blog-layout!
You should check out her blog if you're interested in a real-life blog of an Australian uni student!

I'm in a funk. Have you ever felt like you had a rain cloud following you everywhere? That's me this week. I'm stressed and overwhelmed with work and life. Do you ever feel like that? What do you do to make yourself feel better when times are hard? What's your go-to comfort item/food/activity??
Since it's Wednesday and the only things I can think to write about are selfish or depressing, I figure it's a good day to link up with Michelle at The Vintage Apple for "Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday."
Today's theme...well, I think that goes without saying....
Happy hump day :-)

Well it has been quite a while since I've posted, but I have a lot to report and this year has been full of big life changes. In February I got accepted into my first choice veterinary school, University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!!). In May, I graduated from Miami with my degree in Biochemistry and a minor in Molecular Biology. I also somehow managed to find an apartment in Georgia (from Oxford, Ohio). I do not recommend trying to find an apartment from 500 miles away unless you absolutely have to. I went on a few vacations over the summer and in July I moved to Athens. I started vet school at the beginning of August and time has flown by ever since. I'm preparing to finish my first semester of vet school (only 7 semesters left haha)! And that is a (very, very) brief summary of my past year. I am so excited to get back into blogging now that life has calmed down a little (or as calm as it's ever going to get in vet school)! And in case you've missed seeing my face, here are some pictures from this past year.
The beauty in the middle is Amanda, who is now in charge of making sure I keep blogging and stay on top of the newest trends.
Stay Fabulous,

Olympic Qualifier :Falcons Intensify Training
Nigeria's senior women's national team, the Super Falcons are intensifying training for the Olympics qualifier game against the Lionesses of Cameroon.
To ensure that they book the Olympic ticket, the team is training twice daily. The coaches are also making sure they ascertain the fitness level of each player.
Already some of the new invitees are finding it difficult to cope with training while the old players have adjusted perfectly to their daily routine.Yesterday morning the team trained in a training match with an U-17 boys team.
Super Falcons media officer, Gracious Akujobi, also confirmed that Stella Mbachu who was excused to rest her leg as a result of slight knock she sustained playing in her club joined her team mates in camp Wednesday night and was part of yesterday morning training session.

text: Bill Gates final CES keynote wasn't the most action-packed, megaton-heavy affair, but there was one startling revelation. It wasn't so much an announcement as it was an implication, but it would seem that Slash is ready to join another supergroup, one that's unnamed, but we're calling Merino Wool Revolver for now. The band looks to feature two toy guitarists-Bill and Robbie-and one real guitarist, a clear indicator into which of the three independently wealthy men will pull the most groupie arse. Hopefully, the three will feature as bosses in Guitar Hero Encore: Non-threatening Pastel Sweater Edition. Hey, it couldn't be any worse than Rocks the 80s.

I was recently contacted by FashionVouchers.com and invited to enter their blogger competition. The idea is to write a post about some great websites for money saving fashion, giving details on why you think these sites are so good & how they can save you money.
As soon as i read this email it immediately struck a cord with me, as for the past few weeks i have done nothing but trawl the internet for Mexico goodies - One shalt look hot in Cancun! My poor bank card has had some serious steam coming off it and my mum is forever joking that we're becoming a second post office the with the number of parcels coming through the door. Whoops! She loves me really.
Now despite the fact i'm currently in full time work, i still live in my student mindset, and ever since i've had to part with my beloved student discount card i've become the biggest tight wod with my pennies! I totally miss having £'s knocked off my bill and when your saving to move out of the family home, every little helps! So here's my list of top sites that's kept my wardobe fully stocked and fabulous whilst preventing my purse from getting mothballs :)
ASOS - The holy grail for online fashion in my opinion, and no doubt most of you will have shopped here or at least heard of it before. I love that they offer a yearly delivery fee of £14.95 that once paid allows you to shop freely without the worry of those pesky delivery charges! For me there's nothing worse than perfectly calculating your basket to discover there's an extra £3-£4 on top.. Booo. Plus if your like me and envisage yourself purchasing on ASOS for all seasons then this could save you a hell of a lot of money in a 12 month period. They also have a Marketplace, that works a little like Ebay allowing people to buy and sell new, pre-owned and vintage fashion, however because ASOS is such a fashion forward site i find it much easier to source good things on here without having to trawl through a bunch of rubbish first.
Forever21 - This is a relatively new one for me, but ever since i discovered it i've been in love! There aren't too many Forever21 stores in the UK so for a lot of people the website is pretty much the only way of getting your hands on their stuff. The prices are ridiculously good, very budget friendly whilst still managing to hit all the trends for that season. I recently purchased a lovely little skater dress from here with the cutest peter pan collar :) Peter pan collars are my achilles heel this summer! They have a really good plus size range on this site which i think lacks somewhat in online fashion these days; everything from swimwear to jeans which means curvier ladies can get their fashion fix too without worrying about sizing issues. Forever21 also give people the opportunity to sign up to receive e-mail promotions; i do this myself and have found some really good deals in there, it doesn't feel like junk mail at all.
Matalan - This used to be one of those shops that i considered "mumsy" and i never particularly bothered with them until i realised how cheap they were and how un-mumsy some of their stuff was! I have purchased a good 5 bikini's from them this year, and collectively what i paid for all of them i could probably have spent on one single bikini at a higher priced store, but who wants ONE bikini on holiday?! One for everyday more like. I love their shoes, bags and accessories, as again they are all brilliantly priced and very on trend. I recently blogged about some pieces of cross jewellery i got from here and i have had so many comments on where they are from; people are suprised when i say Matalan! Online they have a fab sale range and at the moment everything in it is half price. A pair of classic aviators for £2.50? Yes please.
Etsy - Etsy is a website a little like Ebay that i have discovered through blogging and the beauty of it is that it specialises in handmade and vintage items. There is a specific fashion section that is pretty huge and i could literally trawl through it all day. I think even a little something unique and beautiful can make a whole outfit, and some of the accessories on here would do just that. I've fallen in love with an aztec style rucksack and some vintage headbands recently which are all on my payday wishlist and are all suprisingly affordable considering how well made and beautiful they really are. I love how this website encourages the arty side of life and how you can end up owning things that are really one of a kind.
And those are some my faves :)
Can anyone recommend any others?

Pitchfork's Free MP3 Mixtape
tried downloading the Boris track but even on my broadband it went a snails pace so I gave up in the end. Too many people trying to get it all at once, probably.
That's really badly done
It's not a mixtape, because those are actually thought out to be songs that you'll play one after the other in a certain order. But it's also not as good as a blog, because they haven't explained why they choose the songs. Also, half of them were already up on their download section.

Year 7 Catch Up Premium
Year 7 Catch Up Pupil Premium – 2017/18
The School has an allocation of £5,000 for 2017/18.
The Heads of Year 6 and 7 met towards the end of the Summer term to discuss the needs of pupils identified as not reaching the expected standards in reading and maths.
From the start of the Autumn term a range of interventions have been in place and the effectiveness is evaluated half termly at pupil progress meetings with a focus on this cohort.
Interventions include:-
- Revision guides
- Specialist learning support
- Closer work with families
- Homework club with targeted sessions
Y7 catch-up premium 2016-17
The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium gives schools additional funding to support Year 7 pupils who did not achieve at least level 4 in reading and/or maths at the end of key stage 2 (KS2).
Berwick Middle School is committed to ensuring a smooth transfer and transition from Year 6 to Year 7. We work closely with our school staff to ensure children are 'secondary ready' both academically and socially.
We use this premium to provide strategies and interventions which are specifically aimed at pupils who are behind in literacy and numeracy.
Students and catch-up premium for Academic Year 2016-17
- Students on roll in Year 7 – 69
- Number of students eligible for catch-up premium – 7
- Total amount of Catch-Up Premium – £3500
How do we use the catch-up premium?
The following interventions, resources and activities are implemented through the catch-up premium funding
- Intervention and licenses for computer based strategies
- Interventions with teaching assistants and members of staff
- Children are tested before and after interventions to identify progress and impact and the views of their subjects teachers are sought
- Those reaching age related expectations return to normal timetable; those who do not remain on intervention programme.
We work to remove barriers to learning for our catch up students through out the first term. This programme involves guided writing, supported reading and spelling/phonics as appropriate and is delivered by teaching assistants. Pupils may follow a personalised programme that is designed around their individual needs based on diagnostic reading scheme that takes into account their current ability of reading and their progress.
Pupils are set across Year 7 and intervention is put in place using teaching staff in a ratio of one staff to four pupils maximum.

Door styles include shaker, flat, and inset. Choosing the perfect kind is important since it could be the biggest kitchen expense. Shaker cabinets are the most common door style. It is a five piece flat panel that has a frame made from four pieces and a single flat center panel for the fifth piece.
Huge variety: We are living in the world where everything is available in large varieties. You can easily find a wide range of options in the kitchen cabinets. You can get custom kitchen cabinets according to your requirements. Custom kitchen cabinets will help you reduce the clutter of your kitchen easily.
While you renovate your old kitchen cabinets to white ones, you need to know that the doors of the cabinets are also made with the same quality material. The style part matters a lot because it will be complementing the style of your kitchen. If you have a French themed kitchen then the white cabinets would give an amazing look. There are many people who think that the white cabinets get stains over them very easily.

It's already two weeks into 2016 and those daunting resolutions seem to be fleeting thoughts again this year. At LifeCity, we want you to have the most productive and efficient lifestyle possible and that begins with putting your New Years goals into action. Start fresh this year by eliminating clutter while also making a difference in the lives of others and having more room to focus on your big picture aspirations. There are a number of diverse LifeCity members that provide essential services to our community and make clearing out spaces a manageable task.
Here are six ways to set a cleaner path into 2016:
1. Get rid of things you haven't touched in over a year
Whether in your closet, cabinets, or garage, there are going to be items that you will most likely never use again. These things may also simply be placeholders to make the space look more full so you don't have to buy new products. In reality, 80% of what we keep we never use, and this abundance of stuff simply goes to waste and warrants disorder and stress when it comes time to finding a specific object. It is tough to give away things we think we may need, yet there are more effective ways to put these items to use for the greater good. Consider donating to Restoration Thrift, Bridge House, and Habitat ReStore, where gently used products are reused and sold to benefit many members of the community that may not have originally had access to them.
2. Make a plan to recycle
Ranging from large to small, glass to plastic, household to building items, recycling is a key way to reduce the amount of waste produced both in the long and short terms. With taking only a few more minutes out of your day to decipher what can be recycled and lead to a more sustainable city and future, there is no reason not to make the conscious effort to save unused objects from reaching landfills. Through Progressive Waste Recycling's innovative technologies, almost any household item can be recycled, making the process that much easier and valuable. Additionally, The Green Project aims to use construction materials that are in good conditions, such as paints, doors, and even appliances, to their fullest capacities. Both of these local organizations offer accessible ways to establish a cleaner home and city.
3. Organize spaces
Over 70% of clutter in homes is a result of disorganization, not lack of space. Therefore, one of the most important strategies to developing a clear space is to arrange the objects around you into a more organized system. Excess materials in your surroundings can negatively impact your ability to focus, process information, and address other issues. If you're having trouble confronting the two practices listed above and still want to be more organized, hiring Clear the Clutter services can help you to attain more immaculate living conditions without the stress of confronting an enormous project, while still recycling and donating a majority of unwanted goods. Even after the original process, make sure to clean gradually so that the mess does not pile up in the future.
4. Utilize reusable bags
According to ReUseIt, Americans use and throw away over 100 billion plastic bags every year. There's no time like the present to start to change this statistic. The effort must come from every person and every home. Having an abundance of plastic bags not only is bad for the planet as a whole but also increases the amount of clutter in your home. Reusable bags are available at most local stores, and the few dollars they cost outweigh the amount of tax dollars spent on producing and disposing plastic bags. You can also make a difference citywide by signing the "Ban the Bag" petition by No Waste NOLA that will serve to enhance environmental safety and put an end to single-use plastic bags.
5. Open your mind
Having good mental health and a clear mind are also crucial ways to ensure a clean and successful 2016. By being mindful of your actions, emotions, and obligations, you will be able to achieve much more on a daily basis, whether that is organizing at home or accomplishing goals at work. Living Wild and Precious life coaching is a straightforward method to becoming in touch with nature and the soul through experiential sessions of learning to accept the self and the simplicity of life. No matter the time of day, it is always important to eliminate clutter in your head so that you can do the same with the spaces around you and live in a more open environment.
6. Most importantly, do a little bit everyday
Seeing a long list of time-consuming projects can be overwhelming. It's vital to living and cleaning to take one thing at a time and turn long-term goals into daily achievable tasks.

Welcome to our June 2018 moms.
First child?
Any symptoms?
Who have you told?
Current thoughts/feelings/fears?
Welcome to our June 2018 moms.
First child?
Any symptoms?
Who have you told?
Current thoughts/feelings/fears?
I guess I'll be the first one to post!
Location: Dallas, TX
First child? Second - I have an 18 month old daughter.
Any symptoms? Zero.
Who have you told? Just DH. I woke him up early Tuesday morning waving a pregnancy test in his face lol. We'll tell immediate family if everything looks good at the first appointment.
Current thoughts/feelings/fears? So many. I'm was really anxious between finding out I was pregnant and my first appointment with my first pregnancy and I'm feeling the same way this time around. It's hard for me to believe it's real until I see that little heartbeat on the ultrasound.
I'm also terrified to tell family. My brother is getting married in Mexico two weeks after my due date so I have no idea how we'll handle that situation.
Location: Grand Forks, ND
First child? Third. I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old.
Any symptoms? I was pretty nauseous this morning and I fell asleep so fast and didn't wake up to both kids crying last night which is odd since my husband never gets up with them because I always hear them first. I usually get sore boobs really early with my pregnancies, but I don't have that yet.
Who have you told? My husband and my doctor. We won't tell anyone else for quite a while because 1. I'm applying for a promotion at work and even though they can't hold it against me, I don't trust them to not hold it against me, and 2. we have had 4 miscarriages so until I know this one is successful (I have a really good feeling about it) I wont' tell anyone. I'll be 12 weeks at Thanksgiving that that would be a fun time to announce it I think- go around the table and say what we are all thankful for.... (especially since no one knows we are trying and they all think we are done at 2)
Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Scared. I usually don't post on the due date boards until we have heard/seen the heartbeat. I have a really good feeling about this one though. My hCG was 53.5 yesterday at 15 DPO and I'll go back Monday (in 4 days) to see what it is doing. My progesterone was 18.6 which is awesome for me. It was really weird that I didn't get a positive test until 14 DPO (usually I get positives from 9-12 DPO), so I think the hCG is kinda low because maybe baby was a late implanter.
My first two boys are June 12 and June 14 birthdays. So it would be fun to have a third June baby, but this one might end up being a May baby too. It would be awesome if I could hold out until 41 weeks and baby would be born June 13, ha! I don't know if they will let me go past my due date. My last baby was almost stillborn so we will being doing weekly and then bi-weekly NSTs and BPPs toward the end of this pregnancy and I doubt they let me go past my due date, but maybe if baby is looking really good they will! It would be a whole party week because my wedding anniversary is June 11, then the birthdays would be June 12, 13, 14. Probably not a possibility, but super fun to think about.
I really want a third baby, but I'm also scared to death about having three. I don't know how I will handle it. I have 2 hands, not 3! But luckily my oldest will be *almost* 5 when baby comes and he is pretty independent already. I have heard the transition to 3 is the hardest? I hope that isn't true.
@skinnycow: Do you think you would still plan to go to the wedding? Did your first come early, on time, or late? I would hate to miss my brother's wedding, but honestly- a baby is more important that one celebration and I hope they understand that. It doesn't mean you don't love and support your brother and his marriage.
So excited the June board has been posted!
First child? Yes!
Any symptoms? Very sore breasts, frequent urination, and fatigue. My breasts seem to hurt the most while trying to fall asleep in bed.
Who have you told? My DH was in the bathroom with me when I got the BFP! We then told my parents later that same day, and plan to tell MIL and FIL this weekend. I also called my doctor's office to set up the first appointment.
We don't plan to tell anyone else until closer to 12 weeks.
Current thoughts/feelings/fears? I feel mostly excited and a bit surreal that I'm actually pregnant. I've always loved babies and young kids and knew I wanted a family, so I'm really looking forward to this journey and becoming a FTM!
My doctor wants to see me around 8 weeks so I have an appointment scheduled for 10/19. I asked if I could come in for hCG betas so I had my blood drawn on Tuesday and yesterday. My hCG level was 184 on Tuesday at 15 DPO and more than doubled to 513 yesterday at 17 DPO. My progesterone was 18.6 on Tuesday and 25 yesterday. The nurse told me they like to see the progesterone level over 20 so everything looks good. I can't wait until the first ultrasound to see and hear the little heartbeat!
@skinnycow: So excited to see you over here from the POAS thread! Congrats again! I'm sure your brother will understand that the timing might not work for you to attend the wedding if you're 2 weeks PP or 9+ months pregnant. I hope everything works out for you! Do you have your first doctor's appointment scheduled?
@Dr. Pepper: Congrats! I will also be 12 weeks around Thanksgiving and I think that'd be an awesome way to announce by telling everyone what you're most thankful for. We are also considering doing something similar around Thanksgiving, which is also near our wedding anniversary.
I really hope this is your sticky baby! Our progesterone levels were exactly the same at 15 DPO and I wish you good luck at your appointment on Monday! Have you scheduled your first ultrasound appointment yet?
I thought I'd start the list. Hopefully more people join us soon!
June Mamas
6/4 - Sunflowerbee (#1)
6/6 - Skinnycow (#2), Dr. Pepper (#3)
10/19 - Sunflowerbee
@sunflowerbee: No appointment yet. Just another hCG on Monday. From there, if it is doubling appropriately (should have quadrupled by then since it is 4 days between blood draws- so above 200) then they usually have me come around 6 weeks for an ultrasound, which would be Oct 11 or after. I usually try to push for a little after because sometimes the heartbeat isn't there right at 6 weeks (especially if this one was a late implanter), but I'm also impatient so I will probably try to get one on Oct 13.
My OB practice doesn't normally see people until 12 weeks, so I love that they have you coming at 8 weeks. I think that is way better. People, especially the first time, have so many questions and 12 weeks is almost all the way through the first trimester!
Your hCG levels are awesome! I wish I could have done Wed/Fri ugh! Why couldn't my test have been positive faster! It is hard to be patient until Monday.
@Dr. Pepper: Congrats! Crazy that you could have all June babies.
I don't know what we'll do about the wedding. I'm leaning toward DH just going. My daughter came about 1.5 weeks early so it could be possible to go but I can't imagine feeling up to it.
@sunflowerbee: Congrats to you also! My first appointment is also 10/19.
@Dr. Pepper: FX that your levels quadruple on Monday! I agree that it's nice that my doctor's office wants women to come in at 8 weeks. I know I already asked the doctor a lot of questions when getting my blood work done for the betas.
@skinnycow: Thank you! That's exciting that we can count down to the same appointment day.
@Dr. Pepper: Good luck with your hCG draw!
How are you both feeling? I'm feeling 100% normal which kind of freaks me out.
@Dr. Pepper: Good luck today! Keep us posted!
@skinnycow: I still have the same 3 symptoms: sore boobs, can't stay up past 10 PM (I'm usually a night owl), and peeing more frequently than I usually do. Did you have symptoms early on with your other pregnancy? Maybe you're one of the lucky ones with very few 1st trimester symptoms!
I didn't have morning sickness with DD but I did have sore boobs pretty much immediately. DH joked that mine have already taken a beating from pregnancy/breastfeeding so they're immune lol. I have been peeing more frequently so I guess I have one symptom!
I took two tests this weekend to ease my anxiety and of course dark lines popped up right away.
@skinnycow: Haha I like your DH's comments. I asked my doctor if/when the sore boobs would go away when I went in for my hCG bloodwork and she was like "Well, they can continue straight through the rest of your pregnancy and through breastfeeding so...not for a while?"
I too take another Wondfo test on Saturday and the second test line was basically darker than the control line and reminded me of a positive OPK. It's definitely reassuring to see those dark lines appear!
@skinnycow: @sunflowerbee: Ugh. Level today was 144. Up from 53.5 four days ago. Which is a doubling time of 67 hours. This does not make me feel good. Going back on Wednesday.
@Dr. Pepper: I'm sorry you didn't get reassuring results. I hope you get goods news on Wednesday!
@Dr. Pepper: I'm sorry as well that the results weren't as expected. FX that Wednesday will bring good news!
@Dr. Pepper: Good luck today!
Still feeling mostly normal but OMG the bloat is out of control. I look 4 months pregnant after I eat a meal.
I'm out. Levels went down today. Only a little bit, but it is obviously not a viable pregnancy. It is either a early miscarriage or an ectopic. Based on my history, probably a early miscarriage. Rechecking on Friday to figure out our level of concern.
Sorry to be such a bummer on the beginning of this thread. I really really had such a good feeling about this one.
@skinnycow: @sunflowerbee: good luck and I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!
@Dr. Pepper: I am so, so sorry to hear this. Sending you *hugs.* Hopefully your doctor will be able to get you some more answers on Friday. Thank you for your kind wishes and I hope you'll have your sticky baby real soon!
@Dr. Pepper: I'm so sorry No need to apologize for being a bummer - could happen to anyone.
Thank you for the well wishes!
@sunflowerbee: How are you doing? We need some more June moms to join us!
@skinnycow: We definitely need more June moms to join in! I'm doing well. Still the same 3 symptoms of sore boobs, peeing frequently, and general tiredness. I started researching some baby gear last night such as car seats and as a FTM, the sheer amount of options for each item are overwhelming! Do you have any tips or tricks on how you sorted through all the options and reviews to pick the best gear for your DD? Any recommendations on must have baby items?
I'm also counting down to our appointment date which is less than 2 weeks! How are you doing and feeling?
@sunflowerbee: I totally agree that it's overwhelming! I used the website Lucie's List to sort through gear options - she gives great advice and recommends products in all price ranges. Things I couldn't live without were the Rock N Play, a white noise machine, a swing, and those velcro swaddle wraps (I think SwaddleMe was the brand I used). If you're planning on breastfeeding definitely get a breastfeeding pillow. I used a Boppy which I liked but I've heard great things about My Breast Friend also. I have plenty more recommendations but those were my must haves for the first couple months.
I'm counting down for my appointment also. I'm still feeling normal other than extreme bloat and tiredness. I've been working a ton of overtime this week though, so that could be why.
@skinnycow: Thanks so much for the recommendations! I will totally take you up on any and all items you love, especially which types and brands for each. Feel free to share away! Haha What type of car seat did you use? Any recommendations on which Rock N Play and swing?
I do plan to breastfeed and have heard good things about the Boppy and My Brest Friend. I also just heard about the Boppy Best Latch which is a 2-sided pillow with a soft and firm side and seems pretty versatile and cool.
Working OT could definitely lead to tiredness. I was also watching videos this morning of what the first ultrasound looks like at 6-8 weeks. So excited to see our little one!
@sunflowerbee: For the carseat we bought a Chicco Keyfit. We loved it because the base is really easy to install and clicking the carrier in and out was a breeze. The only downside was the weight - I think the carrier weighed around 10lbs so before we switched DD to a convertible it was getting a little uncomfortable to carry. We got the Fisher Price Cradle 'n Swing and I have no complaints. DD basically lived in it for the first three months. She took all her naps in the swing and slept in the RNP at night. It does take up a significant amount of space though, if that's an issue for you. We got the Deluxe RNP (I think swayed?) but we never used that feature so the basic one would have been fine.
I can't wait for my ultrasound - seeing the little heartbeat is amazing!
@skinnycow: Thanks for the additional recs! I was researching the Chicco Keyfit last night. I was trying to decide between one of the Keyfit 30 or the new Fit2. The Fit2 has two modes for infant and toddler so you can use it up until 24 months, 35", or 35 lbs. I think the Keyfit weighs 9.6 lbs and the Fit2 weighs about 11-12 lbs so it's also on the heavier side. Did you use a Chicco frame stroller or travel system? If so, which one?
Thanks for the swing and RNP info! I haven't researched too much on those items yet. We're fortunate that space isn't an issue and I like how transportable the RNP is to move from room to room for naps or nighttime sleep.
@sunflowerbee: Oh I haven't heard of the Fit2! That would probably last you awhile. DD is just now hitting 35" and she's 18 months and in the 98% for height. We had to swtich her out of the Keyfit before she was one.
We didn't use a Chicco stroller. We use an Uppababy Cruz but used an adapter so the Keyfit would click in. Pretty much any stroller will have an adapter for the Chicco carriers!

First child? Yes!
Symptoms? Feels like all of them. Some nausea, continuous mild cramping, GIANT sore boobs with occasional stabby pains on top of the achiness, and I've had a headache pretty much since the day we conceived.
Who've you told? Just my husband so far. My family is far away so the plan is to try and tell them when we're all together at Thanksgiving. We live near my in laws so we'll probably tell them sooner, but it'll be less of a thing since there are 7 other grandkids on that side, and this will be the first for me and my sibs.
Thoughts/feelings/fears: Really anxious and feeling not ready, but also kind of excited? We hadn't planned to try until this month but on a whim decided to "start the clock" last month since we're in our 30s and assumed it would take some time. Didn't time intercourse or anything, but didn't prevent either with the hope that when we did start trying trying it would feel less weird than jumping in cold turkey after preventing for 15 years. But here I am two weeks later with a BFP. I know we're more prepared than say teenagers who fall pregnant, but I definitely wasn't quite ready, which is tough because my husband is totally thrilled, and I want to be, too, but in my head I'm thinking about how much more I wanted to save, and how I'm up for a promotion at work, and, and, and. I do recognize that I'm lucky to have an easy time of it, but I guess the grass is always greener.
@karenbme: Welcome and congrats!
I think a lot people have similar feelings with their first pregnancy. We also conceived our first very easily and I was in shock for the first few weeks. My husband was over the moon immediately but for some reason it took finding out the sex for me to feel more connected.
@karenbme: Welcome and congratulations! I'm a FTM too! It took us 3 months to conceive and although we were planning, tracking, and more than ready for it, it still came as a bit of a surprise that it had really happened and we were pregnant. I think that's why pregnancy is 9 months long so we can adjust to the idea and use the time to get prepared! Haha
@skinnycow: I wanted to thank you again for the rec on Lucie's List. I've been reading her registry guide all weekend and it's full of helpful information!

@skinnycow @sunflowerbee Thanks for the welcome, and for making me feel better about being anxious rather than 100% excited instantly. I know we have plenty of time to prepare, and I'm sure I'll get excited along the way.
I am really excited to see my Dad's reaction when I do tell him. He's been low key pushing for grandkids since I got married 5 years ago, and I'm sure he's going to be more excited than either my husband or me. I'm currently trying to work out a way to tell him that isn't just, "Dad, I'm pregnant," but I'm so bad at those sorts of things. I've thought about getting him like a mug or a t-shirt or something that says "Grandpa, est. 2018" but that feels kind of cheesy. I did see the suggestion above, but my family is a drinking family, so it needs to happen pretty much when we walk in the door to avoid tipping them off by not having a gin and tonic at cocktail hour. Do either of you have any suggestions?
PS - I realized I missed location on my first post. I live in Burlington, VT.
@karenbme: My DH and I were walking around our local Dollar Store and were looking through the book section. We found a book called "The Joyous Gift of Grandparents: Images of Life Celebrations." It's filled with cute pictures of babies and grandparents with quotes about being a grandparent. I thought it'd be the perfect gift to announce to both sets of parents! I wrapped the book, came up with a fake reason why we were giving each parent a present, and then watched in anticipation as they opened it. My parents made a joke about not looking as old as the people on the cover but quickly caught on. When we presented it to my in-laws, my FIL exclaimed "You're pregnant?!?" and jumped up excitedly. We thought it was a fun way to announce instead of just blurting out that we're expecting, haha.
A mug or a t-shirt sounds like a fun idea too! You could write him a message from the baby saying "I can't wait to meet you, Grandpa" and then include your due date. Or get something with the saying "Only the best Dads get promoted to Grandpa." I'm sure whichever way you announce, he'll be excited for you!
Hey everyone- My saga has not yet ended. As of last Wed, my hCG had dropped (from 144 on Monday to 127 on Wednesday), but on Friday it went up, so they thought I might have an ectopic pregnancy. So today (Monday) they had me come back for another hCG and ultrasound. The ultrasound did not find an ectopic pregnancy. It did find an intrauterine pregnancy that measured 5w4d (I would be 5w5d) but no fetal pole or yolk sac (but it could be too early for those to be in there). So things are looking better, although confusing. My hCG rose from 150 on Friday to 320 Monday (65 hr doubling time).
Last Thursday I told my husband I was holding out hope that maybe there had been 2 in there and now there was only 1 and that might be why the numbers went down on Wednesday. I thought I was being crazy. However, my ultrasound saw a corpus luteum on both of my ovaries- meaning they both released eggs. So my crazy scenario is a possibility.
However, a hCG of 320 at 26 DPO is crazy low, but according to betabase, it is entirely possible. It shows 6 successful pregnancies (out of 1322 total successful pregnancies) with a beta between 149-405 on 26 DPO.
So, long story short. I'm crazy and holding on to all hope that I might still be pregnant. The plan- repeat hCG again on Thursday this week, if rising still, an ultrasound next Thursday.
Also, the only symptom I have is constant low back pain. Which all weekend I thought was due to ectopic pregnancy. I am not nauseous (I wasn't with my first, I was with my second). No boob pain (Lots with my first, not much with my second, but still some).
@Dr. Pepper: That all sounds really promising! The fact that your hCG levels are increasing and they didn't find an ecotopic pregnancy could point toward a vanishing twin. I hope your betas on Thursday go well and I'll keep my fingers crossed and am sending good thoughts your way!
@Dr. Pepper: Oh man sorry this isn't straightforward but I'm glad there's still hope! Good luck!

Hans Schwarz(1922-2003), Painter; sculptor; illustrator; author
Sitter in 3 portraits
Artist of 14 portraits
Painter, sculptor, illustrator and author, Hans Schwarz came to Britain from German-occupied Austria in 1939, his escape made possible by the Kindertransport [chidren's transport] rescue operation. He studied at Birmingham College of Art and went on to pursue a career in graphic design and illustration, whilst also teaching in various art schools. In the 1960s he took up painting and sculpture full-time and became a portrait painter, his work characterised by the use of bold colour. He was heavily influenced by fellow artist Oskar Kokoschka. Alongside portraits, Schwarz painted landscapes in London and Somerset and wrote several books on painting and drawing.

text: Q. There is a very strong mildew odor present in my main bathroom. The odor seems to be coming from the drain in the tub. If I put a rubber stopper over the drain, you can't smell it. A. At least you've pinpointed the source. The cause is much more difficult to find. There could be a lot of decomposing hair and soap in the trap, but it might not be enough to slow the drain. Pour some washing soda and hot water down periodically, to get the stuff moving. Another possibility is bacteria coating the sides of the drain. Experts suggest scrubbing with a brush and disinfectant. Alan J. Heavens The Philadelphia Inquirer

Baytown is a city in the gulf coast region of Texas within the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area. Most of Baytown is considered part of Harris County but a small portion is considered Chambers County. Highway 146 and I-10 are the most used highways in Baytown.
Baytown covers 33.2 square miles of land with a population of 68,371, and is the fourth largest city within its metropolitan area. It is bordered by Galveston Bay on two sides and Cedar Bayou on one side.
If you or anyone you know have a question about a DWI in this part of Harris County, please contact the law office of Tyler Flood.
The Harris County District Attorney's office notified defense lawyers on Wednesday that a crime-scene investigator made errors in 65 cases.
In a newly obtained video, a Houston Police officer is seen balling his fist, punching a woman in the face and slamming her to the floor of a drunk-tank cell after she swung her elbow at the officer while questioning the no-refusal blood test.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office has dismissed 90 pending misdemeanor and felony drug cases after a deputy improperly destroyed evidence at the Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office is forced to throw out more than 140 cases so far after it was discovered over 21,000 pieces of evidence was destroyed by the Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
The Harris County District Attorney's office is re-evaluating a decade's worth of DWI cases. This comes after the credentials of an expert witness, a toxicology analyst, were called into question.
There are over 1,000 cases under review because of the misuse of evidence. While 142 have been dismissed thus far, there has been a high number of cases in which evidence has been destroyed - most of the cases involving drug crimes.
After and expert's qualifications have been questioned, there are nearly 10 years of DWI cases being under review in Harris County.
After being questioned about her credentials in DWI cases, a woman responds publicly.
Expert witness has been accused of lying on the stand and moved down to a lower level position.

Extended FEMA Deadline
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has extended the deadline for those who suffered damages from Hurricane Harvey once again.

Two OC residents arraigned in $11 million Ponzi scheme
News: 2014 Press Release
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -Two Orange County residents were arraigned in an $11 million Ponzi scheme victimizing 27 people with sale of unsecured securities based on fraudulent insurance policies. Joseph Francis Bartholomew, 75, Lake Forest, is charged with one felony count of the use of a device or scheme to defraud and 28 felony counts of using an untrue statement in the purchase or sale of a security with sentencing enhancements for aggravated white collar crime over $500,000 and loss greater than $3.2 million. If convicted, Bartholomew faces a maximum sentence of 42 years in state prison. Bartholomew is being held on $11.3 million bail and must prove that the money comes from a legal and legitimate source before posting bond.
Co-defendant Wendy King-Jackson, 54, Laguna Niguel, is charged with one felony count of the use of a device or scheme to defraud and two felony counts of the use of an untrue statement or omission in connection with the purchase or sale of a security with sentencing enhancements for aggravated white collar crime over $500,000 and loss greater than $3.2 million. If convicted, King-Jackson faces a maximum sentence of 16 years in state prison. Both defendants will be arraigned on Thursday, Dec. 4, 2014, at 8:30 a.m. in Department H-2, Harbor Justice Center, Newport Beach.
The defendants are accused of engaging in a "Ponzi scheme," which is a fraudulent operation that offers investors high, short-term returns on investments. Instead of using the money to generate actual income and legitimate profits, the money from the investors is kept for the benefit of the defendant or used to repay earlier investors.
Bartholomew is accused of owning and operating MBP Insurance Services, Inc. (MBP), which offered and sold unsecured securities based on fraudulent insurance policies. Between July 2005 and May 2014, Bartholomew is accused of defrauding 28 investors and falsely promising them that he would be able to provide a return of 15 to 40 percent in interest from their investment.
King-Jackson worked at MBP as an insurance agent. King-Jackson is accused of offering and selling unsecured securities based on fraudulent insurance policies by misleading clients that the policies were legitimate and legal investments when they were not. King-Jackson is accused of failing to disclose to clients that the California Department of Corporations (now "California Department of Business Oversight") did not authorize MBP to sell the securities, as required by law,and not informing clients of the risks associated with the investments as required by industry practice.
In September 2011, Bartholomew is accused of failing to pay monthly interest payments to investors, and by March 2013, all monthly payments to investors ceased.
In May 2014, Bartholomew is accused of offering to John Doe an unsecured investment claiming that he would pay him $10,000 monthly for a $500,000 investment. The defendant is accused of fraudulently assuring John Doe that he was making a legitimate investment on stranger-third party life insurance policies and that the defendant had no difficulties in paying back any of his other investors for the past 10 years.
Bartholomew is accused of collecting more than $11.3 million from investors.
A victim reported the crime to the California Department of Insurance, who investigated this case. Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation assisted with the investigation.
Deputy District Attorney Nagy Morcos of the Major Fraud Unit is prosecuting this case.

...say a prayer with us...that his scans will come back clean and that there will not be any enhancement or other signs of new growth.
We are going on the 15th month since diagnosis...some days are harder than others for him...some days he has the energy to play some golf...lately...he's been doing a lot of sleeping and feeling pretty crappy...regardless, he continues to fight!
I recently read an article in our local newspaper, where it stated, there are people who think that we shouldn't call it "fighting cancer"...that we should say we're in a battle...that to say "fighting" is too negative...HELLO!!! call it what you will...it is a war...you are fighting for your life...I will not sit here and judge anyone...over how they want to perceive this "battle" ...for me...the daughter of a man who is fighting day in and day out over this horrific battle with Brain Cancer. Over this last year, I have often put myself in the shoes of someone who might be fighting this battle...and though its hard to say what you would do till you are actually doing it...but I would like to think I would be handling it very similar to the way my dad does...with grace and dignity...and most definitely putting up one hell of a fight...KNOWLEDGE IS POWER...educate yourself about Brain Cancer...know the signs...you might just save someones life...
...this photo of "us" was taken on Monday...while we celebrated Memorial Day and honored our biggest HERO...our Dad!

Skirt: Miss Sixty | Shirt: Calvin Klein Jeans | Shoes: Christian Louboutin, similar here or here | Bag: Gigi | Bracelet: Chanel necklace wrapped
My friends and I went to the nearby village of Fiesole, Tuscany for lunch this past weekend – it was yet another charming Tuscan town (surprise, surprise – I know : ). The village is situated right on the top of the hills surrounding Florence so it has a absolutely killer view of the city!
I popped into Florence's Miss Sixty store and splurged a litttttle too much on their new collection. I've been buying more and more black lately, which is so different from what I'd previously gravitate towards. I went in just to look, but somehow I ended up walking out of the boutique with a bag full of black leather, pleats and knitwear… Oh la la! I've already worn my "James Pullover" a few times and I'm in love!
^A photo from the Van Gogh Museum…. I'm absolutely obsessed with his heavy brush strokes and nature portrayals.
Happy December!! My favorite month is here and I just can't wait to get caught up in the holidays.
I recently got back from a trip to Amsterdam and it was unlike any city I've ever been to (and no, not for obvious reasons ;). I instantly fell in love with the city's dutch architecture and the canals that run throughout. I met up with my mom, aunt and cousin in Amsterdam for a girls weekend and we had a wonderful time exploring the city and its Van Gogh, Stedelijk and Anne Frank House museums.
Throughout the weekend we found amazing spots to eat, most of which with course after course of chef specialty dishes – yum! I'd recommend going to dinner at Johannes, Zaza's or Fyra and if you're in the area enjoy lunch at Brix!
To follow my visual stories on Instagram click on the #velvetvioletsinamsterdam link (or insert the appropriate city name) and you'll see a collection of all of my Instagrams from that city. Try browsing the #velvetvioletsinflorence collection!
Shirt: Joe's Jeans, similar here | Leather pants: Vince, similar style by Vince here | Shoes: Prada, similar here and here | Belt: Burberry | Scarf: Marc Jacobs, similar here | Bag: Gucci
When I found out that I'd be spending my Fall semester in Italy I came up with a list of places that I would love to explore and on the top of my list was Venice. You can imagine my excitement when it worked out for me to explore the floating city! And yes — the canals, bridges and gondolas are just as charming as you'd imagine. Some of my favorite spots include…
St. Mark's Basilica: You need to see these mosaics!
Dal Moro's: Delicious pasta made to go in Chinese containers
Vecchia Murano: A famous Murano glass blowing factory
Now I'm off on another adventure… Stay updated on Instagram and Snapchat!

Finnish parcel service expands
Fast and reliable parcel service to Finland has been a strength of Cargobus for years. Now we found a way to expand our service - until now it was possible to send parcels to Finland from Talinn terminal only, but from now on it is possible from all terminls in Estonia. Before, the sending fee for delivery from any terminal to Tallinn was added to the delivery fee to Finland or vice versa.
From 26th November the mentioned additional fee will be dropped and a new price list will be in effect. Please make sure that the Finnish address is precise and includes postal code. The price is per one package from Cargobus terminal to Finnish address or from Finnish address to Cargobus terminal. Departures every work day. The estimated delivery time is 1-2 work days for Helsinki and 2-4 work days for rest of Finland.
